Hank had me sit down at my desk as he sent another cop to grab my actual uniform out of my locker. She brought it to me, and helped me into the bathroom to change. Once I brought the bloodied clothing out, she took them down to the laundry room to be washed. I walked into the main part of the station barefoot, sitting at my desk, which was across from Hank's. A picture of my whole family is what my focus settled on. The twins had just been born, and the picture was taken just before my parents were murdered.

Hank brought his chair around, "Are you okay Mae?"

"The android killed him..." I whispered, looking at the picture. It was silent for a second before Hank turned my chair.

"Come on, you need to rest," Hank took my arm, leading me out the front door. I could see Gavin following us, but didn't make a comment.

"Hank, do you want me to take her home?" Gavin asked.

"Do you know where my house is?" Hank asked, looking at the man. He nodded, everyone knew.

"Take her there, I'm bringing her siblings, then I'll bring you back here. Take her car," Hank tossed him the keys, and helped Gavin lead me to my car. Once I was in and buckled, Hank made me look at him. "It is not your fault. I'll make sure the kids bring clothes for you and themselves, okay?"

I nodded, and Hank closed my door. The ride to Hank's was silent. Once we got there, Gavin helped me out of the car and to the front porch. He sighed, looking at the lock. I took the car keys from him and used my copy of the house key to open the door.

"Mae..." Gavin began after he sat me down on the couch. I laid down, trying not to cry. It's my fault, it's my fault, it's my fault.

"What?" I asked.

"It's not your fault," Gavin said quietly. "It was a stupid android anyway."

I glared at him, "It got farther than you did with the perp."

Gavin sighed and sat back in his chair. Sumo came and laid his head on my lap. I smiled at him, laying down. Gavin stood and walked out of the room, coming back in a second later with a pillow and blanket.

"I know you kind of hate me, but at least let me help you," He said. I nodded, allowing him to put the pillow under my head and cover me with the blanket. Slowly I fell asleep, with Gavin remaining by my side like he had all those years ago.
