The three of you arrived at the small cafe Toby's girlfriend worked at, before entering the cafe you let Connor scan the workers he could see the faces of, to see if one of them was Emilie.

"The woman coming out from behind the counter now, that's her." Connor informed you both nodding towards the woman. "We have to be careful, she may not be aware of the fact he boyfriend has hurt Androids."

The three of you enter the small cafe weaving around the tables and towards Emilie. "Emilie Dean?" You called out as she turned to look at you, a confused look appearing on her face. "Yes, can I help you?" She asked as you show her your badge.

"We're with the Detroit Police Department, is there any chance we could ask you some questions?" You asked her as she looked behind you towards Connor and Hank. "Can I ask what this about?" She mumbled making you look at Connor and Hank over your shoulder.

"It's a sensitive topic, it would be best if we spoke somewhere more private." Connor explained to her and she nodded. "Just let me go and tell my boss I'm taking a quick break." She said before she could leave you said. "Tell them it's to talk to the Police, can't say no then."

A few moments after leaving she returned and asked. "Where would you like to talk?"

"Outside should be fine." Hank replied as he beckoned for her to leave first.

Once outside you noticed that she looked worried and nervous. "What is this about?" She asked with a shakey voice. "Do you know Toby Bennett?" Connor asked her attention snapped up towards him. "Toby! Is he okay? He's my boyfriend. Has something happened to him?" She yelled.

"Nothing has happened to him... we're here about something he did..." You said cautiously, she began to shake her head in disbelief. "What do you mean something he did? I don't understand, Toby can get angry but he's not a bad guy." She called out in disbelief.

"I'm so sorry to tell you this, but he's not the man you think he is." You informed her and she looked at you in disbelief. "W-What did he do?" She cried out.

"Miss Dean, what we're about to tell you may upset you. But I need you to know that none of this is your fault." Connor said, softly. "Toby has been torturing and killing Androids, we were at his house just yesterday and found an Android locked in a cage. He had been tortured and badly damaged, we were lucky to find him when we did."

Emilie didn't say anything but her body began to shake, violently. "No... no... he..." She began to cry uncontrollably. "He... wouldn't..."

"I'm so sorry... but he did, the Android was repaired and positively ID'd Toby." You explained as the three of you watched her heart break at hearing this.

"I had no idea! Please believe me... I didn't know!" She cried out and you stepped forward holding your arms out to her. "We know... I would be able to tell if you were lying." Connor informed her as Emilie walked into your arms and began to cry into your shoulder.

"We understand that this is something you didn't know, but did he ever act suspicious or say things against Androids?" Hank asked her, you let go of her and she pulled away wiping the tears off of her face.

"I-I... well he would never... want me to go to his house... and I knew he didn't like... Androids, but I didn't think... he'd ever hurt one..." She stammered trying to hold back more tears. "I'm so sorry! If... I had known..."

"This isn't your fault Emilie, he made his own choices..." You reassured.

"Is that why the Android told us he heard him yelling at a woman?" Connor asked as she looked over at him and nodded. "I went to see him... he'd not contacted me... for a few days... so I went to see him at his house..."

"What did he say?" Connor questioned as a thoughtful look appeared on her face. "He yelled at me... to leave. Told me that... he had to... leave and that he'd come get me... when he had more money..." She explained, quivering.

"We believe he left knowing he was going to be caught if he stayed." You told her. "Do you have any idea where he possibly could have gone?"

"Is there a place or a person he'd go to in a time of trouble?" Connor added to your question. "He'd probably go to Joey..." Emilie mumbled as the three of you glance at each other.

"Does he have a last name?" Hank asked, you hoped that she would know because it would open up another lead and a possible place for the two to hideout.

"Oh... yeah, Joey Coles. They're best friends, have been since I met Toby." Emilie told you, Connor patted you on your shoulder and you leaned towards him. "Detective, I've found him and I have an address. Well, actually two addresses." Connor whispered into your ear and you nodded.

"Thank you, Emilie. Is there anything else?" You asked and she shook her head, vigorously. "No, I'm sorry. He'd always come to my place when he wanted to see me..." She then mumbled and started biting at her fingernails.

"Can... can you tell the Android that he hurt that I'm sorry... if I had known he was being kept... in his house I would have helped him... I would have..."

"It's okay, we'll tell him..." You assured her and she gave you a small smile. "T-Thank you... I really am glad he's okay." Emilie mumbled. "I should get back to work... unless you need anything else from me?"

"You've helped plenty, we appreciate you taking time out of your shift to answer our questions." Hank said as Emilie gave you all a small smile before disappearing to get back to work.

"So, you got any addresses for this Joey?" Hank asked Connor who smirked at him. "Why'd I even ask? Of course you have." Hank grumbled to himself making Connor chuckle in response.

"Actually Lieutenant, I have two addresses..." Connor informs Hank who frowns clearly confused. "How the hell can he afford two properties? Most people can't even afford one, hell I'm Police Lieutenant and even I'd struggle to afford more than one place." Hank remarked rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yes it is quite peculiar that he can afford both properties, this could suggest that he is involved in other illegal activities." Connor explained.

"Are either of the addresses close by?" You asked making Connor nod his LED flashed yellow for a moment before he said. "One is fourteen minutes and twenty-seven seconds away."

"Great, let's go." Hank said and the three of you begin walking towards Hanks car, Connor slips his hand in yours, you look at him to see his dorky smile like he just achieved exactly what he wanted from you.





After a fourteen minute and twenty-seven seconds drive exactly you arrived at the closest address. As you expected it was a house, it looked a lot nicer than Toby's house which further suggested he was involved in possible illegal activities, as Connor informed you that he was in fact unemployed.

"I hope both of them are here, so we can arrest them instantly." Hank said unbuckling his seatbelt and turning to look at you and Connor sat in the back seat. "You two are literally connected at the hip aren't you?"

"No. That would make life highly difficult for the both of us. I'm also spending some time with you this evening, however I must inform you that I will be going back to Y/N's so she doesn't sleep alone." Connor explained to Hank who shook his head at the mass amount that Connor had just said. "Yeah okay, whatever." He mumbled then opened his door to get out, Hank then let's both you and Connor out of the back.

The three of you approach the property heading towards the front door. Hank instantly knocks on the door and yells. "Is anyone home? Joey Coles?"

Nothing.

"Detroit Police!" You then yell.

Once again nothing.

"May I kick the door?" Connor asked ,innocently, looking between both you and Hank. "Urgh... Jesus, does he do the puppy dog eyes to you all the time?" Hank grumbles.

"Yes, it always works just let him do it." You mumble rubbing the back of your neck, Hank motions for Connor to kick the door open. Connor smiles before kicking the door open, he sighs happily as both you and Hank pull your guns out preparing for the worst.

With that the three of you entered the house slowly, sticking close to one another.
