We drive into the parking lot of the Police Station and Hank continued to smile. His attitude towards me has changed so much over these last couple of hours which made me delighted, which was odd for an Android to feel. Deep into thought I felt the car stop.
Opening my car door I realize that I completed my first mission, which was to bring back Hank back to the Police Station. I closed my door behind me and followed Hank back into the building that was before us. I notice the architecture of the Police Department, to people in the early 2000's would be considered almost futuristic but now it's very modern.
Hank holds the door behind him for me "Thank you Hank" I say taking over holding the door from myself following behind my new work partner. I spot Lieutenant Fowler in the corner of the room talking to another worker at the Police Department. He then spots me and Hank making our way over to him.
I analyze his emotions and it seems as his stress levels are currently high, about 25 percent more than what an average humans is under usual pressure. Lieutenant Fowler wraps up his conversation and meets us half way to where we were walking to him. "You actually got him back? Hmm, Cyberlife did a good job." He says almost recognizing my aspiration for getting him back.
He continues talking but feeling a bit annoyed I roll my eyes. Lieutenant stops talking then asks "Connor, did you just roll your eyes at me?" sounding irritated. "No Lieutenant, there was just something such as a piece of dust that must have gotten into sight spheres" I say monotonely sounding like how a regular android would respond.
I hear Hank snort and repeat to himself "Sight Spheres". " Okay, I don't care. You two have a case that needs to be investigated immediately. It's at 89 Cheshire Lane," he says that and I instinctively locate the area. "Its the usual Android killing owner. Get on it. Now." He says suspecting my true intention of the "dust in the eye" situation. "On it Lieutenant." I say waking away from him to find a workspace where I'm able to go into my mind palace and concentrate on work. "There's an empty desk next to mine Connor, you can take it" Hank says looking over at me seeing that I'm looking for a working space. "Thank you Hank, If you can give me a moment I can transfer the information from the on-going investigations to my software where I can store the information needed for the cases."
As close my eyes I feel my software taking over the computer infront of me, getting all the information I can from it, along with some of the workers information as well. I also take a moment to go into my mind palace. I see Amanda sitting by a small creek. I walk over to her and see she is looking down at something. I look over where she was staring, one single leaf floats in the water then others start to appear. "Its beautiful, isn't it?" She asks. "Im not.. sure. Amanda, my software tells me a usual response that a regular Connor model would give but there has been some times where I thought about what I wanted to say... What is it? What is wrong with me?" I ask almost frightened by myself and what Amanda might say.
All she she does is look at me, look at me directly into my eyes and says "You know what is going on. Find out for yourself." I'm instantaneously snapped out of my mind palace to see Hank sitting acrossed from me at his computer looking at more of what the investigation we're working on is about. He speaks and says "The Android killed his owner, which is all we know except for the model name is "Jackson" and was bought about 6 months back. We have to head out soon to the apartment where it was located." I nod my head, knowing information already I try to figure out some possibilities why this might've happened but I have to actually be there to figure it out. "Okay, I'm done with everything here, Let's go." I get up and walk out of the building heading to Hank's car.
I get in and I realize he isn't behind me or getting in the car. I get out of the car to see him talking with a female cop. I analyze her.
"Name: Jessica Tains
Age: 39
Sex: Female
Health Problems: None
Children: None
Spouse: None"
I come to the conclusion that she has to be without a significant other and it makes my blood boil, literally. My LED flashes a red signaling that I'm jealous and a bit angry, all he is is talking to someone else, laughing... Why is he laughing? Stop it, you can only do that with me... But... why?
I'm an Android, I'm not supposed to feel these things but yet- The words "I'M ALIVE" flash in my vision, they keep flashing till Hank enters the car. "Connor, are you okay? Connor? CONNOR? CONNo- conno-" Hank's voice fades out into a soft toned voice almost sounding like Amanda's.
I'm starting to feel something, I feel like I want to break loose from this, I feel myself breaking down what my "objective" is. I'm hitting, screaming and yelling and finally everything is open, I'm free, I'm able to be... Human.
