Seán managed to convince Hank to let him drive to the crime. Hank's music blasted as Seán pulled up across the street. Sirens and lights went off all around them as Seán navigated through the crowd that had gathered. He honestly hadn't expected so many people to be gathered- it was the start of the night in a run-down part of town.

Seán parked the car, climbing out of it. He barely heard Hank tell Connor to stay put. Seán began forward, feeling the presence of Henrik get stronger as he approached the house. The sergeant managed to push past the reporters that were there.

Why are they here? Henrik asked.

The usual bullshit, Seán explained. He wiped some of the rain that was pouring down his face off, flicking it to the side. His nose wrinkled as he began to smell the inside of the house.

"Androids are not permitted beyond this point," Seán heard. He turned at the same time as Hank and saw Connor standing behind the line.

"It's with us," Seán called. The cop looked at Hank for confirmation, but after a moment let the android pass through.

The android approached, adjusting its sleeves. "What part of 'stay in the car' didn't you understand?" Hank asked.

"Your order contradicted my instructions, Lieutenant," Connor explained. 

Hank grimaced, "You don't talk, you don't touch anything, and you stay outta my way, got it?"

Are we sure that Connor isn't a deviant? Chase asked.

I doubt they would send a deviated android to work on a deviant case, Seán looked around for a moment before entering the house. His mouth began to water, and he groaned. 

Seán, if you are going to puke I would recommend going back outside, Henrik said.

Seán listened to the doctor, walking out just as Hank was getting his explanation of the crime. 

"We had a call around eight from the landlord. The tenant hadn't paid his rent for a few months, so he thought he'd drop by to see what was going on," Ben said. "That's when he found the body."

Seán followed the pair as they stepped foot into the house. He gagged a little, covering his nose.

"Yeah, the smell was worse before we opened the windows," Ben said sadly. 

"Jesus!" Hank groaned.

"Victim's name is Carlos Ortiz," Ben began to explain, approaching the body. 

Seán knelt down next to the body. To anyone else, it would look like he was just running over how the body looked. Henrik actually controlled the body in that moment, carefully scanning over the body. Henrik focused on the stab wounds in the victim's torso, causing Seán to shiver. 

That sucks, Seán commented.

"He stayed inside most of the time, they hardly ever saw him," Ben was saying.

"Uh, state he's in... Wasn't work calling everybody out in the middle of the night," Hank commented, kneeling on the opposite side of Carlos. "Could've waited 'til morning."

Seán looked over and noticed Connor finally walking in. What the hell was it doing out there?

"I'd say he's been here for a good three weeks. We'll know more when the coroner gets here," Ben said. 

I was about to say that, Henrik grumbled.

"There's a kitchen knife over here," Ben pointed out, "Probably the murder weapon.

Seán stood as Connor approached the body. Henrik backed away from the headspace for a moment, allowing Seán to look around and investigate on his own. Three words were written neatly on the wall, 'I AM ALIVE'. They were beautifully written. 

Seán barely paid attention to the briefing, continuing to look around. He knew Chase would also be listening, so he didn't bother.

"I gotta get some air," Ben complained, "Make yourself at home. I'll be outside if you need me."

"I think the android did it," Seán mumbled.

"No shit, Sherlock," Hank replied.

It didn't pass Seán that Connor had moved on to look around. The android crouched in front of a little table, and he noticed little red granules that he had grown to be familiar with.

Red ice, Seán told Chase.

The father figure stayed silent. 

Connor moved over to the second piece of evidence, a knife laying on the ground. That must be the knife Ben talked about.

Connor gently dipped its finger into the blood, bringing it to his mouth.

Seán gagged a little, and Hank spoke up, "Err, Jesus! What the hell are you doing?"

"I'm analyzing the blood. I can check samples in real-time," Connor explained.

Henrik would be jealous, Seán commented.

"I'm sorry, I should have warned you," Connor continued.

"Ok, just... don't put any more evidence in your mouth, you got it?" Hank said.

"Got it," Connor said, pointing at Hank. 

Hank groaned, "Fucking hell, I can't believe this shit..." 

Seán continued to look around, analyzing the scene by himself. He didn't want to be near that android. It had only been a few minutes when Connor approached the hallway carrying a chair.

"What are you doing?" Seán asked, looking at him curiously.

"I believe that the android may still be here," Connor explained.

Seán nodded, following Connor. He waved for one of the CSI units, who would be more likely to have android handcuffs on them. 

Connor went up, looking around. He disappeared for a moment, but Seán could hear him moving around the attic. The CSI unit handed Seán the cuffs, moving away.

Seán heard a scuffle, and some low voices. "Connor! You okay?"

"What the fuck is going on up there?" Hank called from next to him.

"It's here, Lieutenant!" Connor called.

Seán blinked a couple of times in surprise. 

"Holy shit," Hank said, beginning to move off, "Chris, Ben, get your asses in here now!"

Seán helped Connor bring the struggling android out of the attic. It kept thrashing, spilling thirium everywhere. Seán groaned a little as he cuffed the android, stating its rights.

It's good. Chase admitted.

Yeah it is, Seán said.
