Connors POV
I've just arrived at Lt. Anderson's house...in his car... he's looking at me very concerned... he's said that I've had three "attacks" since he brought me to the car. I'm confused... I thought he hated me, he's always made remarks of how he hates androids. He constantly argues with me, especially after I was assigned to assist him after the revolution succeeded. He's changed some of his thought process on the revolution. Regardless, I still think he should focus on catching Markus, the deviant leader who's created this whole mess.
"Connor? Connor. Kid you with me?"
I turn to the lieutenant "Yes lieutenant. I don't understand what this new concern is, my systems are in working order and your distaste for me has always been abundantly clear, so there's no need to pretend to be concerned when nothing is wrong."
He takes a step back.
"Conn... Connor. What are you talking about? Ok I might have hated you at first but not anymore, and your systems are definitely not fine. You've had three attacks in the last half hour."
I shake my head, "You must be mistaken lieutenant. I'm in perfect condition. Where are we anyway? Is something missing on the deviant case? We're close to finding Markus, why the delay?"
He looks confused.
"Again Connor, what the fuck are you talking about? The android case? That was 7 months ago, and as for being here, it's my house, you forced me to move here. Why are you asking why we're here? Just... come inside it's gonna rain."
We go inside, where the lieutenant's dog jumps on me, knocking me over
"woah...' I can't remember his name, 'Easy there boy."
I stand up, "Lieutenant, I don't live here, you would never dare let me come over. Last time I came you were drunk and...' I look around... 'This isn't your house... your house is much more disorganized, there are bottles everywhere and pizza boxes, even the wall color is different, it's usually grey."
Hank POV
What the fuck is Connor talking about? He knows we moved to a new house cause the last one was falling apart. He's the one who yells at me every time I start drinking too much, what is he talking about? Finding Markus? We saw him about three months ago before we went to DC for the negotiations . This is way too odd, it's been what, 2 or 3 days since Trojan... wait... what if? No, what if she... she...
"Connor. Do you remember what happened on the 23rd?" He looks down for a second "We... were following a lead on that android that had attacked her owner and taken the little girl. We believe she had gone over the border into Canada and we're working with border patrol to find out how she got in."
What? That's not what happened at all.
"Connor that's not what happened..." he looks back up at me.
"what do you mean lieutenant?"
"I'm saying that's not what happened. Two days ago we went looking for a lead on Trojan, she bumped into you and... I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere!"
I grab my coat and pistol and head towards the door. I turn the door handle and open the door.
"Hello Lieutenant Anderson."
Gavin POV
I rush towards the closest patrol car, my radio goes off
"I'm sorry Officer, you said Holden Street?"
God why are people so stupid.
"Yes! 1254 Holden St. Check the database, you know what's there. I need backup now I'm on my way there"
I get in the car and drive out of the parking lot. I don't bother with paying too much attention to the road rules, I have my sirens on. If I don't get there in time... Trojan's needs him for something, she wouldn't be leaving a trail there otherwise. I see cars pulling over up ahead to let me pass, a few start stopping in the middle of the road. Two people get out. Dammit! They crashed. I need to get around. I'm not gonna make it in time. I put the car in reverse and turn down the corner.
I finally get around the accident and make it to the house. Shit, the front doors open, and that's not the right car. I pull my gun out and head inside.
Connor POV
I'm not sure what the lieutenant is talking about. We were following a lead two days ago. He's rushing out of the door now. I hear a voice. It sounds female... I hear the lieutenants voice as well.
"It's you. You're the one who did this to him! What did you do to him!"
The woman's voice is sort of mid range, she's eerily calm for how the lieutenant is reacting.
"I didn't do anything, his own systems did this. I just gave them a little nudge. Now if you'll excuse me, I do need to talk to him."
I walk over to see what's happening. The lieutenant is standing in front of her.
"you're not getting anywhere near him."
She starts reaching for her back pocket
"Lieutenant!"
I hear a gun cock
"Back up. I will shoot."
I recognize that voice, it's Detective Reed's.
"Do you honestly think I was going to come here unprepared? Please."
She turns around and pulls a gun. I run towards them and shove her to the ground. Her gun fires, sparks fly across the pavement as the bullet hits the driveway. The lieutenant comes over and cuffs her. Her pulls her hair back, lifting her head so he can speak right into her ear.
"Fix. Him."
What is he talking about? Fix who?
She laughs, "Fine, but I get to walk."
Officer Reed laughs, "sure, you can walk. Right into the precinct and then back to jail."
I look at him, what is he talking about?
A ring fills my ears again and I crash to the floor, flashes of places and people and conversations blur together. Everything fades black.
Gavin POV
Connor crashes to the floor and Anderson lets go of Trojan, her face crashing into the driveway. After a few seconds, Connor sits up, he looks around. He looks very confused.
"Lieutenant? Detective? How did we... it's dark out, we were at the precinct and it was light out... when did we get here?"
Hank laughs, "I think we need to catch you up. Let's go-"
As he helps Connor up a branch knocks against the back of Hank's head, he cripples to the ground. Trojan's cuffs are on the ground. She takes his gun and aims right at my face
"One of you two moves and you're gonna find a bullet in between your eyes, and I promise you I won't miss. Am I understood?"
I nod my head. Connor nods.
"Good, we'll catch up again."
She turns and runs, taking the gun with her. Connor goes over to Hank, he's coming back around
"shit, did she get away?"
Connor nods, "we'll find her again lieutenant, I swear."

Hello!
So what are you guys thinking so far? Good? Bad? This is my first time writing a story that I've actually posted online and taken seriously. Hope it doesn't suck and hopefully future chapters get better and better as we go along.
oh! Before I forget. The rest of the story is co-written by a friend due to my lack of decision skills XD
Thanks for reading!
