Arriving at the neighborhood, Connor looked around. There were several police officers around as Hank sighed.
"Well, this is where it was found, but the area is still too large, it could be anywhere." he muttered.
"It was in a hurry, panicking, nowhere to go." Connor commented. "It's more than likely it's still in the area. Not having a plan would make it want to lay low until it was sure that it was safe."
Hank shook his head. "Still doesn't tell us where it went or where to even start."
Connor considered. "There are areas here open 24/7, we should start there. Even if people weren't present to see it, there could be camera footage that will show us where it went."
"Okay, big shot. I get the message." Hank snarked. "Alright, let's start...over there."
With that, Hank made his way towards a nearby motel. Connor followed. There were a good number of cops around, including Ben, who looked up at Hank.
"Anything, Hank?"
Hank shook his head. "Not yet, but we'll see."
With that, he made his way to the motel, heading for the reception to talk to the owner.
Connor followed Hank into the reception area of the motel, standing aside as Hank spoke.
"We're looking for an Android, an AX400 that was reported to be in this area last night." he explained.
The receptionist shook his head. "An Android? There's no Androids here, strict rules on that."
"Have you seen an Android that looks like this?" Connor asked, holding up a hand and generating an image of the AX400.
Seeing the image, the receptionist gasped. "Ah, I knew something wasn't right about her. She came in last night with a girl, but she was dressed normal, you know? I didn't realize she was..."
"What room?" Hank insisted.
"Room 28, up the stairs here." the receptionist explained.
They both left the office and Hank turned to Connor.
"You stay here."
Connor replied, "I'm coming with you, Lieutenant. I have my orders to..."
Hank rolled his eyes. "Ugh, you and your damn orders. Just stay out of my way."
So it was that Connor followed Hank as they crossed the parking lot, up the stairs, and to room 28. Hank drew his gun and carefully opened the door. They stepped into the room and looked around, Hank checking the bathroom, but there was no sign of anyone else, Android or human.
"Nothing. They must have gotten away." he muttered.
They left, realizing how close they were to finding them, but they had to still be in the area. They had to keep searching.
Returning to the street, Hank paced in frustration while Connor looked around the area, scanning for any signs. Suddenly, they heard a shout.
"STOP! POLICE!"
Then, through Hank's radio, "Lieutenant, by the convenience store, we've found them!"
Before Hank could even say anything, Connor took off running, heading in that direction, still fully aware that Hank was doing his best to keep up. Soon reaching the convenience store, Connor found two police officers, looking frantic.
"Which way did it go?!" Connor asked.
One pointed. "That way, they're headed for the train station."
Connor nodded and began to run in that direction, soon spotting the Android in question, clad in human clothing, trying to use a beanie to cover its head. Like the hotel receptionist had said, there was a young girl with it, the two holding hands as they ran.
Connor sped up in an attempt to catch them, but the Deviant looked back and, spotting him, quickened its own pace before turning sharply right, away from the train station. Reaching that point, Connor realized that it had abandoned its plan to go to the train station, due to the pursuit, and had gone down a nearby alleyway. Connor hurried down the alleyway in a desperate attempt to catch it, since the alleyway was a dead end.
But Connor had underestimated the desperation of the Deviant. Helping the girl up, they both climbed the fence, which had ended the alleyway, heading down towards the busy freeway.
Connor stopped at the fence, watching carefully, noting the danger. Then Hank caught up, gun drawn, and taking aim.
"Don't shoot!" Connor cried. "We need it alive!"
"Oh fuck, that's insane…" Hank replied, shaking his head. Still, he lowered his gun, growling.
Connor knew there was no choice and began to try climbing the fence.
"Hey! Where you goin'?" Hank demanded.
Connor replied at once. "I can't let them get away!"
"They won't." Hank said dismissively. "They'll never make it to the other side."
"I can't take that chance!"
"Hey! You will get yourself killed!" Hank yelled. "Do NOT go after 'em, Connor! That's an order!"
Connor froze, LED spinning red.
"Connor." Chloe's voice echoed, although only Connor could hear it. "Your mission is to catch them. If you don't go after them, we'll miss this chance."
But the danger was just too great, so Connor finally stepped back, opting not to go after the Deviant and the girl.
(Software Instability ^)
This time, Connor had almost expected it to pop up, but there was nothing else for it. Standing, watching, they saw, to their surprise, that they did indeed make it to the other side. Now they had to leave and issue further orders before considering the next move. But the Deviant had escaped.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
