If there was something special close by, RK900 would be the last to see it. His ice-blue eyes were fixated in the direction he was going, so blank and cold they seemed blind. He didn't see the world around him. He didn't care about it in the slightest, without any feelings towards it. It was simply there and he would keep his hands away from it unless his mission would require him to do otherwise.

"Hello. I am RK900. I'm the android sent to replace RK800, the previous android that has failed multiple missions." He spoke as he approached a group of chatting men.
"Shit, they don't give you names anymore? Are our future children going to be called ABC123?" One of the men stood up. He was a detective. Detective Gavin Reed. The one he was ordered to assist.

"Good morning, detective Gavin Reed. I shall accompany you in future investigations. I would be more than happy to register a name suggested by you if you find that necessary." He greeted him with a neutral tone, happiness was probably the last thing anyone would find in his emotionless gaze.
"You fucking serious?" Gavin's face was bright with sarcastic amusement. He clearly has not understood RK900's message.
"I am sincerely sorry if my information wasn't given well enough. I am a machine that will help you with your work, specifically investigating crime scenes." He explained, hopefully clearer now.
"What the actual fuck?" The detective's eye widened and the side of his upper lip was raised up, revealing his yellowish teeth.
"I have come to-" "Yes, tin can, I got your fucking voice message! Holy shit, this isn't happening right now..."
"I assure you, detective that what is currently occurring is very much real."
"Can you shut up already?!" Detective Reed finally snapped, yelling at him. The android wasn't really moved by his pacing and nervous tone. His LED flickered yellow as he received 3 new reports homicide. This would be a good place to start. They should get to it right away.
"Excuse us, gentlemen. We must discuss important matters." RK900 took a few steps forwards, awaiting for his partner. "Please follow me, detective." He expected him to be less confused for a detective, but if he would not be able to solve a case, RK900 wouldn't have any problems with solving it by himself instead.
"I'm not going anywhere with your plastic ass!"
"I am afraid you are, detective." According to his analysis, RK900 would have to adapt to the detective's sarcasm. However, he would not curse or engage it, as it was highly unprofessional.

Just then, Gavin Reed curled his fingers into a fist and lashed it into RK900's cheek, furiously. RK900 didn't flinch, just stared down at him with a questionable expression. At that, the detective growled and swung his foot to the robot's leg to make him fall. Unfortunately for him, Gavin was the one that ended loosing his balance and tripping over and RK900 didn't even have to do anything.
"Let's go, detective." He said with an indifferent voice. Reed didn't give up, though. With furious determination he hit the android's chest with both hands. "We're loosing time, detective Reed" RK900 told him and grabbed his arm, firmly bringing the detective close to his side.

"Let go of me you piece of shit!" He shouted, but it didn't affect the android in any way. RK900 calculated and chose the best option from all 3 homicides that required the most urgent investigation. After they walked out of the building, Gavin Reed gave in and walked to one of the police cars without the need of physical assistance. He decided that he'd explain everything to him in the car while they were on their way. It wasn't a short ride after all.
