rA9 - The Story Where It All Began

Mission 2: Wolves

-----

Connor and Hank look both dumbfounded by the video as it returns to its blank state, Connor stood straight and try to process the video.

"The location is encrypted on the whole video, it may take a few minute for me to recover it."
Connor said, looking at Hank's direction, who is standing up, knotting his brows in a concentrated manner.

"Are you really just gonna trust that prick just because of that mythic shit about that damn rA9?"
Hank look at Connor, who seems to doubt to start locating it.

"I...i'm not so sure, i wanted to but.."
Connor said, looking away before sitting to the chair.

"I think you have to talk to that android...what his name again?...Martin?"
Hank said, scratching the back of his neck as he tries to remember.

"Markus..its Markus, lieutenant, and yes, it might be the most appropriate approach to this situation."
Connor said, lifting himself up and walked outside of the house, reaching for his indicator.

Hank follow suit while groaning to how hype the android with this new information he got.

[Markus, there is something i want to tell you personally, can you come here at lieutenant Anderson's house?]

A few minutes passed before he recieved a message from him.

[Understood, please be informed that i will be with my companion, North, with me, i hope you bring good news to me my friend.]

Connor turn around to see Hank walking to outside, warming himself up from the cold weather.

"Lieutenant, we will have visitors in a few minutes, in the meantime, let me offer you something to warm."
Connor said, pushing back Hank inside, earning a good complain from Hank on why did he have to go outside to call.

After a few minutes, a taxi parked outside of Hank's house, indicating the arrival of the two androids.

Connor notice their presence, making him spring from his seat, as Hank is snoring his way from exhaustion.

Connor carefully walked toward the door without making any sound, when he notice Sumo, Hank's dog, perked up because of the presence outside.

"Sumo,please don't bark so Hank doesn't wake up, okay?"
Connor plead to the dog as he pats it on the head for assurance, where the dog just stares, before curling back to his bed and snores away.

Connor fix his appearance before opening the door, revealing the two figures on the gate, looking around the place.

"I'm delighted that you've come Markus."
Connor said, reaching out the gate to let them in the place.

"Yes, though me and North could proceed the renovation for our new nation, i cannot pass up an invitation from an important friend of Jericho."
Markus said, bowing slightly at Connor's direction.

"You don't have to do this Markus, you..saved us, without you encouraging our kind, we still be slaves of humans." Connor said, patting Markus in assurance, a giggle escape from North as she look at the two who is bowing at each other.

"Alright you two, its better to chat inside than to be here outside the cold weather." The two chuckled at her suggestion where Connor lead them inside, but stop midway on the door.

"I must excuse the two of you, lieutenant Hank is...napping on the couch right now, and i don't want him disturbed, so if you please.."Connor said, looking at the two, who nods at him.

With a click on the door, the three goes inside without much of a fuss, Connor took their thick coats and put it neatly near the door as the two survey how cozy yet the reek of alcohol still prevails on the air.
