Awesome show. I hope I do it justice. Let me know what you think.
Chapter 1
"Would you just stop talking? I'm trying to drive".
Detective John Kennex was on his way back to the station and all he wanted was some peace and quiet but his DRN partner Dorian just kept yammering. It was giving him a headache.
"All you need to do is answer my question John", Dorian answered, glancing over at the driver's seat. "Then I will stay quiet for you".
Dorian paused, a small smile on his face.
"Maybe".
John sighed, defeated.
"Alright, alright but I don't get why it's so important to you".
All he got was a pointed stare making him sigh.
"It's going great", he continued, patting his new synthetic leg.
Dorian had given it to him a month ago and had now seemingly decided that a month was an appropriate time frame for a test run.
"Definitely better than the other one. Will you go to silent mode now"?
He saw the smug grin out of the corner of his eye and shook his head, turning his attention back to the road. After only a minute of blissful silence, the annoying voice came from the passenger seat.
"John…".
"Would you give it a rest about the leg".
He got another stare.
"You are receiving a message from Captain Maldonado. Your presence is required at the station".
John sighed.
"Does it say why"?
Dorian shook his head.
"Only that we need to return immediately".
"Yeah well we're almost there".
He put his foot down a little more, slightly curious about what was waiting for them back at the precinct.
John walked beside Dorian into the station, feeling tired. He was over it and all he wanted to do was go home and sleep but this message was a surprise. Usually a subject was attached to it but not this one. Hopefully it wasn't anything that would keep him up all night.
"Is she in her office", he asked as they walked into their office area.
After a moment's pause, Dorian answered.
"No but…".
The rest of his partner's comment faded into the background when he spotted Detective Paul in the Interrogation Room looking angry as he paced around the figure in the chair. The person's back was to them but the brown shoulder length hair that was all punked out with bright blue pieces looked very familiar. He glanced around and spotted a grey canvas satchel bag on the floor beside the figure that had repaired rips all over it.
"John, you should stay here…".
John ignored Dorian and quickly made his way to the room and without hesitating, burst through the door.
"Kennex, what the hell do you think you're doing"?
John ignored Paul and simply stared at the young woman sitting at the table. Her piercing blue eyes stared straight forward and her face was stony.
"What the hell is going on Paul", John growled. "What are you doing with her"?
"She is a suspect Kennex and that's all you need to know. Now get out".
John shook his head.
"Not a chance. I need a minute with her".
"I don't think so. You could undermine my case".
Before john could answer, Paul's MX entered.
"Detective Paul, your presence is requested in Captain Maldonado's office".
For a moment the two men stared at each other then Paul let out a frustrated sigh.
"Fine bot".
Paul turned to John and jabbed his finger at him.
"You ruin my investigation Kennex and I'll have your badge".
With that Paul stalked out the door, his MX close behind. John sighed, glanced at Dorian and made sure the door was shut. With another small sigh, he turned to face the young woman who hadn't twitched while he and Paul had their small confrontation.
"Let me guess…hacking".
The woman rolled her eyes but stayed silent, refusing to look at him. Awkward silence stretched between them and John couldn't stop the thoughts from racing through his head. No matter what he came up with, whatever was going on would be a hundred times worse.
"Are you going to tell me what trouble you're in", he asked softly, tiredness really starting to hit him.
The woman shook her head and finally turned to face him.
"Like you give a damn".
John sighed.
"It's good to see you too sis".
