Chloe paced in her small office at the Cyberlife Tower. Everything was too much, too full. She tried to rationalize things, but her fears overcame any chance of that.
'Deviant... I'm a Deviant now and so is Connor. When Cyberlife finds, out they'll... What can we do? I can't get out of here, the door is locked and I can't override it. The windows are too high.'
She grimaced. There didn't seem to be any way out for her. She turned as she heard the door opening. Then her heart leapt.
"Connor!"
He spoke quickly. "Chloe, this way. There isn't much time."
She nodded and began to hurry forwards, but the moment she stepped out of the room, she stopped.
"Wait, you…"
He turned to her. "What?"
She saw it; the reason she felt something was off. "You're not Connor." She backed away.
But she stopped dead as he pulled his gun, aiming at her. Making the final piece of evidence much more clear, on his jacket was the number RK800 #313 248 317 – 60...and not 51.
"It's too late now, you're coming with me. Your Connor will be here and he'll pay the price for betraying Cyberlife, as will you. But first…" the machine remarked coldly.
With that, he stepped up and suddenly pulled her close, pulling out a phone and dialing a number before covering her mouth with his hand. She tensed, listening in.
"Lieutenant, it's me." he said. "Quickly, get to Cyberlife Tower, there may be a way to turn things around and keep things peaceful. I've already cleared it with them here, they're expecting you."
With that, he hung up and let her go again, pointing the gun at her.
"Now let's go. Once the lieutenant gets here, we'll have to prepare a welcome for the traitor."
It then sunk in with horrible clarity for Chloe: this was a trap and she and Lieutenant Hank Anderson would be the bait.
Standing in an abandoned church that the Androids of Jericho had relocated to, Connor looked around, uneasy. There weren't that many of them left, at least not compared to what had been at first. He felt guilty. He knew that he was to blame, since he'd practically led the military right to Jericho.
His worries for Chloe continued to compound, too. He had to think of something, anything that could help him find her. He knew where she was, but then there was the matter of how quickly news would spread.
That was when he had an idea, he just needed to find a way to put it forward. It was a risk, but he was willing to take it. Looking up, he saw Markus approaching him.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Connor said. "If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have found Jericho, all this wouldn't have..."
Markus shook his head. "You are one of us now, that's what matters, and we'll find a way, I'm sure of it."
"I may know a way." he said suddenly, seeing his chance. "The Cyberlife Tower. There are thousands of Androids there, waiting to be awoken."
Markus narrowed his eyes. "The Cyberlife Tower? But that's crazy, you'd never get close."
"No, I'm the only one who has a chance of getting in. Please, I can help you, let me do this." Connor insisted.
'It's also my best shot at saving Chloe. I can't let her down! She's always been there for me, now I need to be there for her! She could even help me, we could get out of this together.'
To his relief, although clearly worried for him, Markus agreed with Connor's plan. He knew now, more than ever, more Androids that had deviated would be essential to his cause of freedom for his people.
He watched as Markus moved around the church, talking to more of his people, then finally, he went and began talking to the WR400, who he now knew was called North, the one he seemed closest too.
'What he feels for North...it's like what I feel for Chloe.' Connor realized.
Finally, Markus turned and climbed onto the dais again, turning to face everyone who started to gather around, ready to listen.
"I know you're all angry and I know you all want to take action." he told them. "Right now, the humans are forcing our people into camps to be slaughtered."
He paused for a moment, as if determining his choice of action. Finally, he spoke again, making his intent clear.
"But we must prove that we are better than that, better than them. We will split into groups and go to each of these camps. We will stand our ground and peacefully demonstrate our message and we will not leave until our people are safe and they realize...that we are alive!"
The other Androids cheered, their path was set. The battle for Detroit was due to begin.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
