Connor continued to look about the room while the other android stood by the door watching for any movements. There wasn't much to analyse: only a small amount of thirium. He crouched down, putting a finger in the crusted substance and started to analyze it.
"Did you find anything Connor?"
Connor shook his head. "Not much, just some dried thirium. Problem is, it's a model that I don't have logged. It's a KS200 model? Have you heard of it?"
The other android shook her head. " No I don't think so. But I do remember-" A loud bang followed by a crash made Connor jump. The android that had been accompanying him was lying in a pool of her own thirium with a bullet hole to her central processor. Connor went over and crouched down by the injured android. He tried to cybernetically connect with her but it was too late. She had shut down.
Connor reached his hand for the gun he kept behind his jacket and eyed to door to the adjacent room. Whoever shot the android must have come from over there. He clicked off the safety and headed around the door, scanning as he went.
He hadn't meant to shoot the cop. He had been aiming for RK800 but she was in his way. The gun smoked as he stepped back feeling slightly disorientated. 'I have to get out of here' he thought to himself as he hurriedly put the gun in his pocket. 'I can't fail my mission. He would kill me' He turned and ran full throttle out of the room, trying to get as much space between the RK800 and him.
Connor looked up from where he was crouched. He felt bad leaving her there but he had to find the shooter. He got up and went to the door. The smell of a recently fired gun still lingered in the air. He scanned the room and to his dismay no one was there. 'Shit' he thought to himself, the shooter was gone. He was about to turn and leave to tell Hank what had happened when he heard footfall from outside: Someone running. Connor looked out of the window and saw a fleeing suspect trying to get away. Hank I've found the suspect. I am going to pursue him, he cybernetically sent. He is heading towards the main road on foot requesting backup. Connor opened the window, jumped out and ran after the fleeing android.
The main road came into their sight but the android wasn't stopping. Connor knew he had to do something. "Wait," Connor yelled. " KS200 what are you doing?"
The android stopped by the edge of the road. He turned and looked Connor dead in the eye. His eyes were hollow and had no remorse in them. He chuckled slightly. "You'll find out soon enough RK800. When you do, you'll wish that bullet hit you and not the other android." Connor cocked his eyebrow slightly. "What do you mean?" He asked but it was in vain. The android gave Connor yet another dead look before throwing his hands up and stepping backwards, "Watch your back." He was hit almost instantly by an autonomous taxi causing him to be tossed into the air landing on the sidewalk by Connor.
Connor stood there frozen to the spot. He should have expected the android to self-destruct after failing it's mission but that didn't make the feeling leave him. He was still stood stock still as Hank arrived with Chris in the squad car. "Connor, CONNOR!" Hank yelled.
Connors deep brown eyes looked at Hank. "Are you OK?"
"I'm fine lieutenant." Connor mumbled.
"What happened here?" He asked pointing to the body as Chris radioed the rest of the team.
"He tried to kill me. The officer android was in the way and he shot her. Next thing I know, I'm chasing him to a road and he's telling me to "Watch my back". Connor was still shaken by what happened. His hands held in fists as he tried to control his emotions. Hank walked over and gave his partner a hug. "It's ok. We all have bad days. You'll recover."
Connor nodded to Hank as Chris came over. "We have a problem.. Gavin's gone."
On the other side of the building officer Reed was being dragged away by a figure in a white Jacket.
