The two detectives began rushing through the ground floor lobby of an abandoned hospital in pursuit of a known member of the anti-android gang who had been attempting to start a new kind of Civil War in the city. The suspect had been creating chaos throughout Detroit for weeks and Connor and Hank were attempting to stop the dangerous armed man before he disappeared from the building and into one of his well hidden safe houses strewn about the area once again. While Connor was able to easily weave through the massive piles of debris and abandoned equipment that littered the dirty, graffiti stained walls of the neglected building, Hank was trailing behind but still able to keep up fairly well with the chase at only a few steps behind the nimble deviant.

The entire hospital had been condemned and the walls were rotting as the floor eroded into gaping holes. The ceiling was caving in; starting from the roof and descending quickly down floor by floor until it had reached the second floor above the lobby. Exposed, but dead, electrical wires hung down through holes in the ceiling in thick multicolored bundles. Large water pipes had penetrated through the walls and ceilings from age and gravity, and the large metal support beams that had kept the building standing for so many years were rusting, warped and beginning to buckle from decades of neglect and exposure to the elements.

Leaping over a dirty large counter that would've otherwise blocked his path, Connor was able to tackle the gang member to the ground and pin his arms behind his back. While Connor pressed his knee down in the center of the gang member's spine to hold him still the gang member thrashed about from where he was laying on his chest and swore as he tried, and failed, to break free of Connor's strong grip.

"Stop resisting." Connor ordered as he waited for Hank to join them in the filthy lobby to escort the dangerous man outside. It'd be unwise to split up for any reason. "Detroit Police. You're under arrest. You have the right-"

"FUCK YOU! FUCKIN' PIECE OF PLASTIC!" The man was nearly frothing at the mouth with rage. The fact that he had been caught and arrested by an android only set him off like a time bomb. "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"

"Unlikely." Connor stated bluntly as Hank joined him and took the handcuffs from his belt. Kneeling down beside Connor with a heavy breath Hank slapped the cuffs on the man's wrists, and let Connor haul the arrested gang member back up to his feet. "I stated earlier; you're under arrest."

"FUCK OFF! I slit your throat once and I'll do it again the moment I'm free!"

"Thank you for the confession, I can now close that case on that previous assault and attempted murder."

"I'll fuck you up! You hear me?!" Turning his head the mouthy gang member tried in vain to intimidate Connor. "I'll FUCK. YOU. UP."

"Hey!" Hank grabbed onto the man's shoulder and pushed him forward toward the doors. "Shut up." Huffing a little Hank tried to catch his breath as he and Connor escorted the man outside the hospital. "I've heard that line enough times in my career. I'm sick of it."

Connor instinctively ran a biometric scan over Hank's body and noted that the senior detective's heart was racing and his blood pressure had elevated considerably due to the strenuous foot chase he had just endured. Noting that Hank was stable despite his increased vital signs, Connor decided to not say anything about it until later after they returned to the precinct with their suspect in custody.

Still enraged about his arrest the gang member tried to break free from the cuffs and ended up flailing his arms about and kicking wildly and dangerously through the littered corridors of the hospital. During his futile attempts to break free, his limbs bashed against the decaying walls causing massive fractures that snaked up to the ceiling and down to the floor with unsettling groans of destruction all around the trio.
