November 5th, 2038 , Jimmy's Bar 10:50PM

I felt the cold heavy rain around me as I stepped out of the autonomous taxi, I looked around me. There were a few people still outside, most of them walking with umbrellas or running for cover from the rain. The bright neon sign of Jimmy's Bar shone through the poorly lit street, as I walked up to the door I noticed that one of the signs say, "NO ANDROIDS ALLOWED, OWNERS WILL BE PROSECUTED." I let out a frustrated sigh before opening the door and entering, As I walked inside, a few of the men sitting in the front looked at me, they look between the ages of forty and fifty. As I walked passed them the strong smell of alcohol filled my nostrils, my noes scrunched up at the scent, I then spotted the short grey hair that belong to Hank and I made my way over to him.

"Well aren't you a sight to see," I teased giving him a smirk, he turned to look at me giving me a slight smile, "Or should I say a train wreck," his smile was replaced with a small frown. " Listen asshole I didn't ask for your opinion," even with his harsh words I saw the playfulness behind his eyes. I rolled my eyes and took the seat next to him, "Soooo I was assigned to work you on your case," He gave me a surprised look, "Holy shit you're off drug deals?"

"Maybe, Fowler said If this goes well I'll be switched to homicide," I let out a sigh, Hank put down his now empty glass, "well how about I get you some drinks to celebrate." I smiled at him and gave mischievous wink, "Sure but I will probably out drink you," He snorted at my comment "Sure V we'll see," he took out his wallet and pulled out some money, "Jimmy get V here some whiskey, we're about to have a blackout contest."

Jimmy I assume, put a glass infront of me and poured me a shot of whiskey, I thanked him before drinking shot, I winced slightly as it burned my throat on it's way down. "What wrong to strong for ya" Hank joked, "Shut it Mr. Krabs we just got started," I replied giving him a wide grin. He scoffed at my insult and pulled out cash for more shot
-----------------------------------------------------------
I downed my tenth shot, at this point I've gotten use to the burning sensation that I've just been drinking them like water,"Holy shit kid your still standing!" I gave Hank a slight but slow nod, "I-I told youuu I could handle ittt" I slurred my words "I think you've had enough" Hank said. "Ahh fuckk youuu, I know when I had enough" I retorted waving my hands around, however one of my waving hands hit one of the shot glasses over and it started to roll of the table. I went to grab it but it fell off before I could catch it, however another hand caught it before it shatter against the bar floor. I followed the hand as it put the the glass back on the table, I looked up at the owner of the hand.

'Holy fuck',He stood tall and confident, his hair  comb back with a couple of strains rebelling and falling against his forehead. His jaw was sharp and his skin clear with only small freckles laying across it, he looked at me "Are you alright Detective Shiri?" I gave him a drunk smile "I'm perfectttt, heyyy how do you know my namee" I asked while poking his chest.

"My name is Connor I'm the android sent by CyberLife, I went to the station to find you and Lieutenant but no one knew where you two were, they suggested I look in the bars around the area, I was lucky enough to find you two in the fith bar." He gave me a response that wasn't the answer to my question but I let it go, "Wellll me and grandpa here are just having some drinkkkss whyyy are you here pretty boy." I hiccuped and smiled, he titled his head slightly, his LED turning yellow "I am not a boy I am a machine and I'm here because you two were assigned a case early this evening, a homicide involving a CyberLife android.

In accordance with procedure, the company has allocated a specialized model to assist investigators." Hank finally spoke up at this "We don't need any of your assistance, specially not from a plastic asshole like you, just be a good little robot and get the fuck outta here." Hank said before taking a sip of his drink, during their exchange I've been drinking water to sober myself up so I can at least have a decent conversation without slurs, Connor started to speak again, "Listen, I think you should stop drinking and come with me, it'll make life easier for the both of us, you as well Detective Shiri." Hank said nothing as he took a sip of his drink and moved it away from his mouth,"I understand if a presence of a(n) android is making you uncomfortable maybe-" Hank cut him off "I am completely comfortable, now back off, before I crush you like an empty beer can!" I was about to say something but Connor beat me to it "Here, how about I buy you one for the road, what do you say?" Hank didn't respond, Connor ordered the drink "Bartender, same again please!" He put the dollar on the table as Jimmy started to make Hank's drink,"see that Jim? Wonders of technology...make it a double."

As Hank's drink was being made I tried to stand up, however I stumbled slightly and I was helped by Connor steadying me by grabbing my shoulders. "Are you alright Detective Shiri?" I look at him "Yes I'm alright and please call me Violet," Connor's LED turned yellow again and he opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Hank. "Come on, were taking my car," I gave him a okay before looking back at Connor "Lets go," I said walking out the bar door with Connor following.

A/N: Sorry the drunk part is kinda crappy I've never gotten drunk before lol.
