Talia goes into her father's room to see him still sleeping. Talia grabs his shoulder and shook it so he would awaken. "Dad, I'm going over to Elijah's house. I think something sketchy is going down, so if I'm not back by tonight and don't hear a response from me, get your team to come find me." Hank grabs his daughters face softly.

"Talia, make sure you have a gun on your side." Hank orders and lays his head back down. Talia checks her jacket to check if her gun was still there. She nods at the sight of the weapon. Talia exits the room and grabs her keys. She loads into the car and sets her GPS for somewhere else before she goes off to go seek Kamski. She opens her car door and sees a big building presenting itself in front of her eyes. She opens the long doors that were made of glass. An android greeted her as she walked in. Talia gave the android a fake smile. She gets to the front desk and shows them her identification card. The android scans the card and opens the door for her to enter the separate room. Talia looks at the white walls and cameras that were placed all over the room.

"Greetings Miss Anderson." A man greets her with a white jacket. His black hair was slicked back, as his brown eyes traced her appearance.  Talia looked over the lab as she saw pictures from the crash that happened right in front of her eyes. A suspect list was placed right next to the pictures. Talia knew they weren't getting close to the suspect, he wasn't even on the list.

"I want every single thing you have on Elijah Kamski." Talia says with a professional voice to mask her childish self. The man turns around to find the file and spins on his heel back to face Talia. He handed her the file with a sly smile. Talia looked through everything and didn't see a single charge on his name. "There's nothing here?" Talia looks up to the man with confusion. The man shrugs and looks over his shoulder. "Question..."

"Shoot, i'm here for a reason." He smirked with wide arms. Talia swallowed her saliva as a sudden thought crossed her mind.

"So, if Elijah Kamski created all androids down to a specific detail and even thought about an emergency exit, why can't he deactivate them all? All the deviants are made/designed by him and even though he left Cyberlife he still would know how to stop them because a creator can destroy just as easily as he creates." Talia questioned the man as she sets down the file onto the table. The man shakes his head and thinks about his answer.

"Maybe Elijah likes the thrill. Maybe he wants revolution." He shrugs and placed the file back into the drawer.

"Thank you for your time." Talia exits the room and takes the minor information she managed to get. Elijah Kamski has yet to be in trouble with the law. All his android purchases are labeled on the paper Talia managed to steal from the folder. Elijah didn't seem like a total asshole when Tal first met him, but now that she really knows who he is, she thinks otherwise. It doesn't surprise her though. With his recent moods, she sees a big difference from what she was exposed to before. His usual silly self has changed. Talia doesn't understand how drastically someone can change. She can't stand it. But in a way she likes it.

Talia sits in Elijah's driveway with a frightened glare. She opens the door and stares down to the gravel that laid below her feet. She wasn't ready for her surprise, but she knew she couldn't let her and Elijah slip from each others grasp again. "Elijah, i'm here." Talia called through the house as she entered. Elijah peered around the corner with a smile. "Hey." Talia's voice cracked as she spoke.

Talia

I look to Elijah with a fake smile. It didn't take much for Elijah to tell I felt uncomfortable. "Would you like something to drink, maybe to take the edge off. I can tell you're stressed. I shake my head at the awful thought of me having to use a gun while i'm not all there. unlike my dad, I can't do that.  Elijah nods and looks around the room. Elijah goes back to his normal blank expression. "Well, follow me then." He starts to walk down a hallway. We enter a room that was labeled. <Do not enter>

"Elijah..." I sighed as he pulled out a key to open the door. He lifted his head uo to me as the door clicked open. "Are you sure?"

"Of course, as I've said before, you can trust me." he opens the door. Are my eyes deceiving me? An android that looked almost exactly like me stood in the room. Another stood next to it that looked like someone I've seen before. "Come forth." Elija called over the other model. "This is a WR400. I've decided to call her Amelia. You can change it if you'd like, she's all yours." I stared at the model with wide eyes. "Oh, and because you scare me, I've programmed her to be able to drive."

"Woah. Th-Thank you ." I stuttered as the smile from the android frightened me a small  bit. Elijah calls forth the other model with a smile spreading across his face.

"This is my personal favorite model I have created yet. It's you..." Elijah caressed the androids face with such care. "She's a modified creation of the WR400 I put together for display." Elijah turned to me and compared us. I circle the android with curiosity. This shows he pays attention, but then again it feels kinda weird.

"This is crazy..." I whisper to Elijah as I stared into the androids green lenses. He even has my tattoos correct. "What are.. I mean this is really good, but like why?" Elijah looks over the model with a titled head.

"I have no clue..." He chuckled at the view of the android. I laughed a long with him at the sight of me. "But we'll put it back into the room for now." Elijah pushed the android back into the room and locked the door.

"Elijah, you have been scaring me recently. I've been wanting to talk to you about this but I didn't want to trigger you..." I conceal my nervousness in the best way I could. Elijah nods and we walk back into the main space. "What's going on with you?"

"Talia, recently I guess you could say I'm trying to better myself. It's not working well, but I'm trying my best." He confessed and sat down on a chair. "I'm changing myself for you. I told you I'm changing for you. I'm being the best man I can be."

"Elijah, I don't want you to change! I loved the old you, the way you used to be. Your sarcastic self, your seriousness, the way you'd say anything to make sure i'm secure. I miss the old you."

"I'm sorry."
