"You have ONE choice Connor! Hank or freedom, no more orders, no one controlling you. You could be with us.

All this has escalated so quickly. I look at Markus, he is angry, he doesn't understand why I still choose to live with Hank. Hank looks down, his hair covering the expression on his face. Markus raises the gun again, placing it on Hanks temple.

"Markus! Why are you doing this?"

"Because Connor, they will never take your side. They will never let you think you can be one of them. They will always betray you...even if you thought they loved you. THEY WILL NEVER LOVE YOU CONNOR!! THEY ONLY WANT TO USE YOU!"

"Hank-Hank is different" I try to convey my feelings to Markus but he is too unstable to understand. He cocks the gun, still holding it to Hanks temple.

"PLEASE, Markus don't do this. I'm begging you"

BANG!

I freeze. Hanks body is falling in slow motion his hair falling out of his face to show his expression, despair. Markus points the gun towards me, I look at him.

"Shoot me."

"Come with us Connor, please"

"You just shot my best friend you asshole!!!!" I lunge for the gun, Markus falls backwards. His hand comes around, connecting with my jaw, knocking me off balance. His punches keep coming, hitting my gut. I manage to block one and kick his knees, making him fall to the ground, but not before he grabs my feet, pulling me down with him. His hands claw their way up my body to my face, a single punch landing before I push him off.  In the second that his tumbles off my body I get up, and reach for the gun. Grabbing it I point it at him as he turns around.

"You have one choice Markus, die or leave Detroit forever and never come back, never try to contact me." 

"Haha" I hear clapping behind me and I turn. A man with medium length grey hair walks towards me, he gait slightly off.

"Hank?" I drop the gun and Markus stands up, smiling.

"Well done Connor"

"I-I"

"We had to test your loyalty, look this isn't even Markus, its just the same model" Hank picks up the gun and shoots the android, it falls crashing at his feet. He comes towards me, but I step back.

"You didn't need to shoot it"

"You broke it. So what was its use."

"Will you shoot me when I brake?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I saw your face when I died"



***SORRY this sucks but I lost what I was doing and wanted to finish it off. Hopefully the next one won't be so bad.
