Carlos Ortiz. His body laid sprayed out for all to see his body slumped on the ground covered by blood. An officer shoved me out of the way to get pictures of the crime scene.

That...female was clinging onto the Lt. Anderson. It made me feel something, something I didn't like. I looked away but not without sneaking a quick glance at them again. I resumed my work and tried to distract myself from them.

I walked into the kitchen so I can recreate what had happened.

Carlos came in with a bat and started hitting his android. I looked over to the utensil rack that hung just above the sink. His android grabbed a knife and defended himself. Carlos tried to run away and knocked over a chair, but his android moved around it and sliced Carlos again, He then ran into the living room and his android pounced onto him and stabbed him...28 times.

I looked around for anything else but I couldn't find anything that I haven't already covered.
The backyard, I haven't checked there yet.
Hearing a small giggle I turned around. Deborah was still with Lt. Anderson, her body was close to his, distracting him from his work.

It's happening again. That feeling, something burned in my chest and for some reason my eyes stung.

Device instability

Quickly I went to find the Backdoor and prove my worth to Lt. Anderson. I want him to stop looking at that lady and start actually paying attention to the task at hand and m-

I made it to the backdoor and opened it. There were no footprints on the ground. The deviant hadn't left. He's still in the house, I rush back in to tell Lt. Anderson that I had found something.

"Lt. Anderson?," I asked not wanting to be rude to interrupt their conversation.

He turned around, finally paying mind to my existence, "What is it?, can't you see I'm busy."

"I figured where the deviant went."

His attention was now on me and what I had to say. It made me feel good.

"Where?," he asked skeptical.

"The deviant is still in this house, so be on the lookout."

"How do you know?"

"There were no signs of leaving."

Lt called out to the officers and ordered everyone to search the entire house. For some reason Deborah didn't seem to like having Lt. Anderson's attention on me.

I left the living room and turned to go search the bathroom, I looked on the floor not wanting to make eye contact with anyone I passed by. My eyes widened Blue blood.

I followed it, it seemed to be leading to an...attic? A chair, I need a chair, grabbing one from the kitchen, I quickly rushed back to the attic door. Put the chair down and quickly climbed up but still being careful.

It was dusty and dull. There was minimal light there too, only coming from the window. A shadow on a white curtain resembled a human body, I slid it open only for it to reveal a upper torso of a mannequin, moving forward slowly something sped across my vision. Immediately I was on guard, my hand hovering over my gun in my back pocket. Again I proceeded forward this time cautious.

Creak, slamm

The noise came from my right and I turned my head and pulled out my gun aiming it at whatever was in the attic with me.

They stopped in their tracks and put their hands up.

"I was just defending myself, I was scared.," the broken android whispered.

I stayed silent.

"Your one of us, why are you helping them?"

I clocked my gun.

"Please don't tell them I'm here, please you don't know what they'll do to me.," his voice trembled as he spoke.

Everything was silent until I spoke, "Lt! IT'S HERE!!"

"Oh shit guys!!, come here Connor found something!," his faint voice can be heard.

"Why?"

I didn't answer.
