Chapter 5: Russian Roulette

Nov 6th, 2038

Connor opens his eyes as he felt rain fall down on his head. He looks around to see he is back in the garden but this time it is gloomy and rainy. He looks down to see he was holding an umbrella in his left hand. He begins to walk forward as he looks around and sees Amanda standing near a white tree.

"Hello, Amanda." Connor greets as he walks up to her. "Connor, I've been expecting you...would you mind a little walk?" She asked. He nods as he opens up the umbrella. He stands by her side then holds the umbrella over their heads to block the pouring rain.

"That deviant seemed to be an intriguing case." Amanda said as her and Connor began to walk along the walkway by the pond. "A pity you didn't manage to capture it..." she said as she glares up at Connor.

Amanda Status: Trusted but decreased

"Deviants are completely irrational, which makes it difficult to anticipate their behavior...but I should have been more effective." Connor replied to her. "Did you manage to learn anything?" She asked him. "The walls of the apartment were covered with drawings of labyrinths and other symbols. Like the other deviants, it seemed obsessed with rA9." replied Connor.

"What else?" She asked.

"It was fascinated by birds. We've seen other deviants interested other life forms like insects or pets, but nothing like this." replied Connor.

"You came very close to capturing that deviant..." Amanda said as she glares at him. If he was human, he would've gulped nervously. He knew that she was angry that he failed but when he saw how scared you were when you fell off, he knew he had to save you.

"How is your relationship with the Lieutenant and the Detective developing?" Amanda asked him. "She was grateful that I saved her life on the roof and so was Lieutenant Anderson." Connor said as he looks off to the side then he, absentmindedly, raised his hand to his cheek and touched the spot where you kissed him. He could still feel your lips.

As they make it to the bridge, Connor turns to stand in front of Amanda, who looked very upset at this, as she said. "We don't have much time. Deviancy continues to spread. It's only a matter of time before the media finds out about it. We need to stop this, whatever it takes."

"I will solve this investigation, Amanda. I won't disappoint you." Connor said to her, firmly. "A new case just came in. Find Anderson and (l/n) and investigate it." She said and she walks away, leaving him alone on the bridge.





You were sitting on the couch in a pair of sweatpants and a tank top, watching TV. (Pet's name) was laying on the floor, trying to lay his head down with the cone around his head. He let's out a whine as he was failing to get comfortable. "I'm sorry, buddy. Just wait a few more days and we can remove that." You said as you look over at him. He gives you a pitiful look, almost like he was saying why did you do this to me?

You give a sad smile to him just as you hear a knock at the door. (Pet's name) sits up quickly and begins to bark at the door. "(Pet's name), shush! Calm down!" You shout over his bark as you go to the door and open it.

"Connor! Hey." You said with a smile. 

"Hello, (y/n)." He greets, returning the smile.

"Everything alright?" You asked him. 

"A new case just came in and I need yours and Lieutenant Anderson's help." He replied. "Oh okay. Yeah, I just need to change clothes and I'll be ready. Uh, please, come in." You said as you open the door wider for him and stepped aside. 

Connor walks in your house and you shut the door while (pet's name) looks up at Connor with curiosity. Then he walks over to Connor, who looks down at the dog with slight intrest. "I see you've met (pet's name)." You said as you walk up next to Connor. 
He continues to stare at (pet's name) when you start to giggle.

"Would you like to pet him?" You asked Connor. He turns his head to you and you smile as you reach for his hand. "Just kneel down, get down to his level." You said as you guide him down to kneel towards (pet's name). "Now just slowly reach out to him and let him come to you." You said as you guide his hand out towards your dog.

(Pet's name) whines then he raises his head and sniffs Connor's hand. Then he let's out a happy bark and Connor starts to pet (pet's name).

"I think he likes you." You said as Connor pets the dog's head. Both of you stand back up as you give Connor a kind smile. "I'll go change. Just give me a few minutes to get ready." You said as you walk towards your bedroom. 

Once he hears your bedroom door close he begins to look around your living room.

Learn More About Detective (y/n)

He looks over at a shelf to see a couple of pictures of you as a child with your dad. But there was still no signs of your mother in any of the pictures. Other than that, you had normal trinkets and vases on the shelf.

There were a few pictures hanging on the wall, each one was of you as a child. A few had you and your dad standing side by side, looking happy.

Connor smirks as he looks over the pictures. One of them was you holding up a trophy from a science fair, another was of you at the zoo worh your dad and another one was of you in a very beautiful (fav color) dress; a banner with the word Prom was displayed over your head.

He comes upon a little sidetable with a drawer. Curious, he grabs the handle of the drawer and pulls it open to see an odd shaped paper in the middle. He picks it and flips it over to see it that it was another picture of your smiling face, your eyes were shining with happiness. But what you were so happy about, he didn't know since the picture was torn in half. But Connor did notice that there was a man's arm wrapped around your shoulder.

His LED flashed between yellow and red when he heard your bedroom door open. He sets the picture back into the drawer and closes it then he turns around to see you walking towards him. "Well, I'm ready." You said as you tuck in your blue blouse into your dark gray pants. "More than likely, Hank's at his house. I can take us there."

Connor gives a slight nod to you as you kneel down to (pet's name) and said. "Be a good boy, (pet's name). I'll be back in awhile." You pet his head as he let's out a soft whine. You smirk as you stand up and walk towards the door, Connor walking next to you. 

Once you two got to the door, he reaches out towards the doorknob and opens the door for you. "Thanks." You said, smiling at him. "You're welcome." He said, smiling back at you. Then you walk out of the house and towards your car, which was parked on the sidewalk. 

Connor shuts the door behind him and makes his way to your car as you get in and start the car. He climbs in the passenger seat and you take off towards Hank's house.

"So...what's this new case about?" You asked Connor. "A man was killed in a sex club. We think a deviant is involved." He replied. "Oh, Hank is gonna love this." You said, as you laugh. "Can I ask you a personal question, (y/n)?" asked Connor. You turn your head to face him for a second before you said. "Sure." Then you faced the road as he begins his question.

"I noticed that you had several pictures of you and your father but...none of your mother." He said and he noticed that you winced and frowned at this. "Is there a reason for that?"

You look down at the steering wheel, in sadness, before you take a breath. Connor turns his head away and looks out the window, alittle worried he might've over stepped his boundaries, but then you spoke up. "She left my dad when I was a kid." 

Connor turns to you as you continue. "My dad told me after she left, I would always sit up on the couch in the living room, waiting for her to come home. He couldn't take it anymore and told me that mom wasn't coming back." You bite your lips at this as you choke back a sob.

You take a deep breath and said. "I didn't find out til I got older that my mother got hooked on Red Ice. Dad fought with her continuously about her addiction until he gave her an ultimatum, either get clean or leave." Connor stares at you as you let out a breath. "Sad thing is I don't know if she's still out there or if she's dead." You said.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that, (y/n)." Connor said. You shrug and said. "It's okay, Connor. Besides, if that didn't happen....I probably wouldn't have joined the DPD."  You turn your head to Connor and smiled at him.

Finally, you pull up to Hank's house as it starts raining again. "Alright, we're here." you muttered as you turn your car off. The two of you get out of the car and make your way to the front door, Connor raises his fist and knocks. "Lieutenant Anderson?" He calls out.

No response.

He pushes the doorbell and says. "Anybody home?"

Still no response.

"Hank?" You shout but nothing. "Okay...." and you walk over to the window on the right side of the door. You look through it and see the TV was on. You could also see Sumo laying on the living room in front of the TV.

"He has to be home. The TV is on." You muttered to Connor and the two of you walk over to the side of the house to look through the other windows. Connor comes up to a window and looks through it to see Hank was passed out on the floor. "Lieutenant Anderson!" He shouts as he steps back. Then he shoves his elbow at the window, breaking it. 

"Connor, what the....?" You started to say as Connor takes a few steps back, runs and jumps through the window. "Shit..." you muttered, impressed, as you run up to the window and see Connor sitting on the floor as Sumo approaches him.

"Argh!...Easy!...Sumo..." Connor said, nervously, as Sumo approaches him. "I'm your friend, see?" He said as he holds his hand out toward Sumo. "I know your name...We're just here to save your owner..." Sumo looks at him and does a slight growl at Connor.

"Sumo!" You called out and he looks up at you and his tail wags at the sight of you. "Heal, boy." You ordered and Sumo let's out a breath through his nose then walks away and towards his food bowl.

"Thanks." Connor said. You nod at him and you see Hank's passed out body. "Oh shit." You muttered as Connor stands up. "Here, help me through." You said as you start to climb through the window. 

You were about halfway through the window when you almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Connor caught you before you could fall on the broken glass on the floor. You fall against his chest as you place your feet on the floor and your hands on Connor's shoulders, his arms around your waist.

You look up at him and for a few seconds the both of you look into each others eyes, your heart beating against your chest. Connor's LED flashes yellow as he looks into your (e/c) eyes. He scanned you and noticed that your heart was beating alittle faster than a normal heartbeat.

"I...uh...Thank you, Connor." You said as you two remove each other's arms off of each other. "You're welcome, (y/n)." said Connor as you felt your cheeks heat up a bit. You turn to see Hank's body and see there was a bottle of Whiskey and a revolver next to his right hand.

"Oh hell." You muttered as you and
Connor go over to Hank and Connor kneels down to Hank. "Not again with this crap." You muttered as Connor scans him to see that he was in a Ethylic Coma. "Lieutenant?" He said in a somewhat sing-song voice.

He reaches and pats Hank's face, making Hank smack his lips and let out a sigh. "Wake up, Hank!" You shout. Hank opens his eye a bit and just groans at you. Then Connor raises his hand and bitch slaps Hank, which wakes him up.

"It's us, Connor and (y/n)." said Connor as he grabs Hank's hand and begins to pull him up. "We're going to sober you up for your own safety." Connor said as he pulls Hank up in the sitting position.

"Hey!...Leave me alone, you fuckin' android!" Hank shouts, angrily. "I have to warn you, this may be unpleasant." Connor warned.

"Get the fuck outta my house!" Hank shouts. You walk behind Hank and put your hand under his arms to help him up. "Sorry, Hank, but we need you." You said as both you and Connor pull him up. As he stands up, Hank flops backwards on you.

"Thank you in advance for you're cooperation." Connor said to him as you walk over to Hank's left side and put his arm around your shoulder. "Hey! Get the fuck outta here!" Hank shouts. 

You and Connor were leading Hank to the bathroom when he shouts. "Sumo! Attack!" Sumo just barks in response. "Good boy." Hank said, calmly. "Attack!" You and Connor lead him to the bathroom which was down the hall and to the right. "Go ahead and get the door, I got him." You said to Connor.

He nods and removes Hank's arm off of him and opens the bathroom door. "Fuck, I think I'm gonna be sick...." Hank slurs. "I wonder why that is, Hank?" You asked him in a snarky tone.

Connor walks back over to Hank and helps you to drag Hank into ththe bathroom. "Ah! Leave me alone, you assholes! I'm not going anywhere..." Hank growls as you two walk Hank in the room. "What the hell are you two doing?" Hank asked then you and Connor turn Hank around and place him on the bathtub.

Hank stops himself before he falls in and sits on the edge. "Oh no. I don't wanna bath, thank you..." Hank said as he goes to stand up. Connor places his hand on Hank's chest and said. "Sorry, Lieutenant. It's for your own good." And he pushed Hank back into the tub, reaches down to the faucet and turns the water on.

Hank screams like he was in pain as the water pours down on him. "TURN IT OFF!! TURN IT OFF!!!" He screams as his arms and legs flail around. You had to bite your lips to keep yourself from busting out laughing. 

Connor let's the water hit Hank for a few seconds before he reaches down and turns the water off. Hank relaxes as he takes a few deep breathes and looks up at you two in confusion.

"What the fuck are you two doing here?" Hank asked. "A homicide was reported forty-three minutes ago. I went over to (y/n)'s house to get her and she said that you might be home." Connor replied.

"Jesus, I must be the only cop in the world that gets assaulted in his own house by his own fuckin' android and partner..." Hank said as he pulls himself up out of the tub and sits on the ledge then looks up at Connor and said. "Can't you just leave me alone?"

"Unfortunately, I cannot. I've been programmed to investigate this case and I can't do it without you and (y/n)." Connor replied.

"I don't give a shit about your damn case!" Hank shouts at him. "Hank, you're not yourself!" You exclaimed. "Beat it! You two hear me?! Get the hell outta here! You two can do this without me!" Hank shouts as he stands up, angrily. But then he starts to fall back and you and Connor catch him and help him sit down on the tub. 

"I understand." said Connor and you look at him confusion. "It probably wasn't interesting anyway..." Connor said and you realized what he was doing, making you smirk. "A man found dead in a sex club downtown...guess they'll have to solve the case without us..." said Connor in a teasing tone as he walks away and shrugs. 

"You know, probably wouldn't do me any harm to get some air..." Hank said and you roll your eyes at him. "There's some clothes in the bedroom there." Hank said as he points to the room across the hall. "I'll go get them." Connor said and he walks out of the bathroom and towards the bedroom.

"What do you want to wear?" Connor asked, loudly, from the bedroom. "Whatever." Hank replied then he looks up at you and said. "Can you help me up, (y/n)?" You nod as you go and help him, slowly, to his feet. He took a few steps until he fell to his knees in front of the toilet and begins to grasp for air.

You pat and rub Hank's back as Connot comes back into the bathroom with a fresh set of clothes. "Are you all right, Lieutenant?" Connor asked him. Hank coughs and gags before he says. "Yeah...yeah...wonderful...Just a....give me five minutes, okay?" Hank said, weakly. "Sure." Connor said as you said. "Take your time." You stand up and both you and Connor walk out of the bathroom as Hank begins to puke into the toilet. 

You cringe at the sound as Connor shuts the door. You go to the living room and see that the news was talking about the President issuing a warning to Russia in her speech where she demanded all of Russian troops withdraw from the Artic region.

Connor begins to walk around the house to learn more about Hank. He sees the record player with a jazz album sitting on top of it. Then he walks to the kitchen and looks at the table which was full of trash except for a picture frame that was laying facedown. 

He picks it up to reveal that it was a picture of a young boy, Cole Anderson who died about three years ago. You walk up to Connor's side and saw what he was looking at, you frown at this then you look over and see the gun on the floor. "What were you doing with the gun?" You asked, loudly, to Hank. 

"Russian Roulette! Wanted to see how long I could last...Must've collapsed before I found out..." Hank replied as Connor sets the picture down and picks the gun up. He spins the cylinder and sees there was one bullet inside of it.

"Russian Roulette?!?! What the hell, Hank?!" You exclaimed. "You were lucky, the next shot would have killed you." Connor informed and you sighed as you run your hand over your face. "Oh, God." You groan.


After a few minutes, Hank finally comes out of the bathroom looking much better with his fresh set of clothes. Connor's lips twitch into a smile as you give Hank a thumbs up. "Be a good dog, Sumo. I won't be long." Hank said to Sumo.

"I'll drive." You said and you and the two boys walk out of Hank's house and towards your car.
