Week Five – UDC 7 – Heartbreakers (episode 18, series canon)

Seek

He wasn't sure what he was looking for as he worked his way into electronic files he did not have clearance for, but he knew it when he found it. Knew it, but wasn't sure what to make of the fact that they'd used a dead cop to run autonomic systems for a robot… did that make it something else? And wasn't that against some kind of human rights convention?

Wilson Eberhart was still processing it in his mind when Brock turned up in his office to talk about their scheme that he hadn't yet thought about the consequences of such knowledge, or why it would have been so heavily protected.

Sneak

Robo knew it wouldn't go undetected for long, but he couldn't risk telling anyone about this. Especially when he had no idea how on earth the criminal holding his wife had found out his identity in the first place to be able to blackmail him with it. He opened the evidence locker roughly, not even caring about the noticeable damage, and walked out with the enhancer in hand.

He was so lost in thought that he didn't see Gadget or Charlie, staring dumbfoundedly after him. He had a woman who didn't even know why she'd been kidnapped to save.

Steal

Parks stared into the empty case, not quite believing his eyes. "What the…" After the confrontation at the factory, it made no sense for Robo to not have brought it with him. He looked at Robo with wide eyes.

"The scope never left the factory," the cyborg answered, and Parks could almost hear the underlying smirk in his tone.

Parks stared at him momentarily, and then nodded to the other officers in the room, guiding Nancy toward them. "All right. Someone take Mrs. Murphy's statement and then take her home."

Share

When she finally laid eyes on the man after being locked in that room for hours with no explanation, he seemed to be bursting at the seems with excitement every time he looked at her. Almost as if he wanted to share some secret that was burning a hole in his pocket. And the hints directed toward that robotic policeman, as if there was some kind of connection between them. None of it made any sense.

Was there some kind of connection between them? She didn't know, but the metal man always threw her for a loop with responses that reminded her so much of Alex it hurt at times.

Sell

After Robocop and Sargent Parks left his office, the Chairman sat down at his desk and turned to stare out the window. Two officers were dead and a weapon never meant for the streets was out there somewhere in the hands of criminals. He didn't like it when things like this happened. He really, really did not.

The Chairman glanced at his desktop monitor, wondering what Diana thought of this mess for a moment before shaking his head. No… he didn't need to ask her to know she was probably working on finding the leak herself.
