"I can't believe you brought her home." Hank grumbled and Connor looked up from kneeling beside the dog-chewed couch with both eyebrows raised. "No, wait I can believe that."
"I was merely rendering..." Connor began until Hank raised a hand and the android paused, watching as Hank walked over. Handing Connor a cloth, Hank rolled his eyes when Connor just stared at it. "Assistance." He finished as Hank stared at him.
"It's for her head, dumbass." Hank sighed before he started to head for the kitchen, mumbling the entire way. "Not my fault she wandered in front of my car."
Connor returned to the unconscious woman lying on the couch, the cloth clutched tightly in his right hand moved to her forehead. Just as it lightly touched her forehead she made a noise and he blinked as her eyes slowly opened, revealing two hazel eyes.
"Who the heck are you?" I groaned, trying to raise myself up by my elbows until a strong hand pushed me back. Scruncing up my noise I focused my eyes on the pair of blue eyes staring back at me. Then it hit me and I growled at him, pushing away the cloth resting on my forehead along with the hand holding it. "You hit me!" I snapped at him and Connor sighed as he sat back allowing me the chance to sit up.
"I wasn't the one driving, Miss Russell." Connor sighed as I stared at him then the glowing LED on his temple. "Lola Russell. Age: 30. Single and currently unemployed." He added as his LED glowed yellow and I raised both eyebrows once I was sitting, a dull ache coming from between my eyes. "You have a concussion and a cut across your temple as well as a possible twisted ankle. I wouldn't put any weight on it."
"How do you know all of that?" I asked, slightly impressed despite the dull throbbing of my headache. Reaching up I grimaced when my fingers came away bloody. "Fuck my head stings."
"I am a RX800 model android capable of finding out anything I need. I stopped the bleeding but you need to keep the wound closed." Connor explained as he climbed to his feet and I tried to follow until he turned his attention back to me. "I would advise not straying from this couch until you're well enough to move around."
"Hang on you can't just make me stay here. Wherever here is anyway." I snapped, shifting around until I could reach the carpet with my feet. Though I soon found out why he told me to stay seated when I put some weight on my left leg and it crumbled underneath me, my yelp of pain alerting Connor who caught me in his arms.
Finding myself nose to nose with the android I couldn't help feeling a slight blush seeing just how attractive he was with dark brown hair and eyes like milk chocolate staring back at me. "Miss Russell, you are currently a guest in Hank Andersan's house. Until you heal enough to return home I'm afraid you will be staying here for the time being." Connor explained as he gently set me down on the couch again.
Mistaking my cough of embarrassment for one of discomfort Connor's eyebrows shot up. "I will get you a glass of water. I would make you something warmer but all we have is beer and that wouldn't be a good idea with your injuries." He added with a tiny smile and I nodded as he wandered away.
Okay so I've been kidnapped by a grumpy old man and his android detective. Funny how after losing my job due to the android revolution my life just keeps getting better and better.
I was jogged out of my thoughts by a clicking noise and I turned my head to see a very large do wandering over to me, his tail wagging as soon as he sniffed me out.
"Um...good boy?" I whispered when he reached the couch his head sniffing at my outstretched hand before he gave my hand a lick. "Wow never seen a St-bernard this close before." I muttered as he sat in front of the couch, whining until I reached over. I was still scratching the top of his head when Connor returned carrying a small glass half-filled with water.
Seeing me patting the biggest dog I'd ever laid eyes on Connor's lips curled into a smile before he approached me and I finally looked up to see him standing there. "Here." He said as he held out the glass along with a white tablet. I took the glass in one hand my other still ruffling the dog's fur until Connor knelt beside the dog. "Sumo likes you." He pointed out and I grinned, scratching Sumo between the ears.
"I like dogs and they seem to like me for some reason. Good boy, Sumo." I whispered, taking my hand off of his head to grab the tablet from Connor's hand. As soon as my attention moved from him to my water Sumo whined and Connor chuckled, giving the dog's back a scratch as I swallowed the tablet.
Straight away I coughed, hurriedly taking a few sips of the water to take away the bitter taste and Connor smiled at me. "That's the exact expression Hank has when he takes asprin too."
"Hah, hah. My day just keeps getting better and better." I sighed to myself, fiddling with the glass in my hands. After a few minutes of thinking while I gave Sumo a few more head pats I raised my head to stare at the android still observing me. "So can I sleep on the couch tonight?"
"Of course. Hell, why don't we let everyone we hit with my car stay here?" Hank grumbled from somewhere close by and I turned my head to see the older man standing in the doorway. Seeing Connor raise both his eyebrows he let out a laugh. "I was kidding."
