Detroit's Florist || Detroit Become Human || Connor x OC

Chapter 2

As I was walking into the Detroit precinct, I was greeted by an android receptionist, asking about my business here. "I've come to return this bag to Connor, an RK800 model?" I ask the android, questioningly. Her LED light flickers yellow for a second. Then, she smiles and tells me to go trough the gate. I obliged and was greeted with a sight of the precinct.

Shit, I'm lucky that I found the right precinct on the first try. Otherwise I would have to go to about twelve of the Detroit precincts just to find that android. Looking into the precinct, I spot someone who looks an awful lot like the android that I'm looking for. Well, I can't actually clearly see his face as his back is facing me, but he has the same structure and he is wearing a white jacket with a blue band around his arm, so it must be him, right? I start walking trough the busy precinct. As I reach him, I smile and touch his shoulder, he turns around as I do so. "Hey Connor, good to see you! I have the bag you left at the store." I say and look up to him. Wait... This isn't the android I'm looking for, I realise. The android I know has dark eyes, and this one has... blue eyes? Also, his browbone is a bit lower. He looks down at me, as he is (probably around) 3 inches taller than me. "Oh, I-I'm sorry! Ha-Ha!" I say, startled and laugh awkwardly. "You aren't Connor, are you?" I ask. "I'm indeed not the android you're looking for. I am an RK900 model, the upgraded RK800." He smirks. An upgraded model? So, he is basically an update of Connor? I don't like him, something seems off. He seems more... intimidating. He's so different from the android that was in my store earlier.

"Caleb, who are you talking to?" A very familiar deep voice asks. I hear footsteps coming closer as I freeze in fear. Fuck. "A lady that's looking for Connor. Do you happen to know where he went off to, Gavin? I haven't located his presence in 1.3 hours now." Caleb says. Gavin? Fuck, fuck, fuck. I actually want to kill myself right now. I look down, hoping to not catch his gaze. "No, I haven't seen him for quite some time now, I was out in the field. You know, doing stuff." He replies, with a cocky chuckle at the end. Jesus Christ, his voice just makes my skin crawl. "I should go." I say and attempt to walk away. But a hand grabs my arm and I am unable to move. I look at the guy who grabbed me and see Gavin's face, looking very confused. "H-Hi." I say, unable to say something else without stuttering. "Emily?" Gavin says, and then laughs. "I haven't seen you in like, what? A year and a half?" He continues. I cringe at thinking of the time I had spend with him. "Please let my arm go?" I ask, he obliges. "I'm sorry for the shit I did. We kind of ended it on a rough note, didn't we?" He exclaims. Then he grabs a strain of hair that was hanging in front of my face and slides it behind my ear. Who the fuck does he think he is? "You've become so much... hotter." Gavin says and smirks. All the red flags are hoisting again! "How about I take you out tonight?" He comes closer and grins.

The red flags are now franticly waving. Reminding the terrible time I had with him, I gather all my courage and spit in his face. "Fuck off Gavin." I say and walk away. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SPIT IN MY FACE FOR, YOU FUCKING BITCH!?" He yells, coming after me. I look around and see that he was stopped from coming after me by the RK900 model. I nod and smile at him. That could've been my death probably, as he is known for his temper. The android winks at me and then picks up fucking Gavin, earning some very, very offensive curse words from him and walking away slowly.

I look at the sight and can't help to snicker. Then I notice that the precinct was silent for a minute, all looking at me. I look back at the people with a grin, still proud of gathering my confidence and spitting him in the face. A year and a half ago I couldn't have done it, but he finally got what he deserved after everything that happened. So, Gavin is a cop now. Suddenly, I get more concerned for the security of our country but wave it off, as I hear someone snicker behind me.

"What did you do to upset him so much? I fucking love to see that dipshit like this." I turn around and spot a middle-aged man behind me. He has half long grey hair and a beard with clearly some bread crumbs in them. Then I notice his very bright eyes and 80's clothes. "A whole fucking lot to be honest. But that's in the past." I say, grinning at the man.
"I heard you were looking for Connor, right?" The man exclaims after a while. "Yes, he was at the flower store I work at. He left this bag on the ground, but I couldn't find him when I finally spotted the bag laying there." I explain. The man looks at the bag, and then back at me. "What's that android gotta do at a flower store? He told me that he was going to take Sumo on a walk, what the fuck." He asks himself. Sumo must be the dog Connor was talking about earlier. Then he looks at me again. "Anyway kid, he sits at the opposite desk of mine, if you wanna wait there it's alright." The man says and walks me to his desk.
"I'm Emily by the way but call me Em." I say while taking place at the chair sitting by his desk. "My name is Hank." Hank says and then looks at my sweater. "You like Rush? Man, I remember growing up with that band and seeing them live." He says and smiles, probably thinking back to that time. I nod "I grew up with them as well! I didn't get to see them live unfortunately, but they're one of my favourite bands. I can play some songs on the guitar by them." I proudly say.

Hank smiles at me and then looks away. He waves. "Hey Connor! I've got a lady for you here!" Hank says and snickers as he greets Connor. I look at him and wave at him as well. He smiles. "Hi Hank! Hello... I haven't registered your name yet." Connor looks at me. "It's Emily, but please call me Em." I say. "Hi Em, thank you for returning my bag." He says and grabs it. The android puts it under his desk and looks at me again. "I really appreciate it." I smile. "Man, you just missed the greatest thing, Em here spit Gavin in his face for being a total dick! Best thing about it, Caleb carried him away as the dipshit was still yelling at her!" Hank says and snickers. Connor looks at Hank for a moment, and then at me. "You really did that?" He asks. "Yep." I say, shyly. Then I hear a sound that I haven't heard before. Ever. An android laughing. Connor bursts with laughter. It takes a couple seconds to regain himself, him picking a few tears(??) away. "My god that's the greatest thing I've heard this week." He smiles at me. "Why though?" Connor asks. Ah fuck, I really don't want to tell these guys, as they seem so cool. If I tell them I look like a total fucking dumb bitch. I stay silent for a while. Connor and Hank are anticipating my answer, as they clearly hate Gavin. Ah fuck it, I probably hate him even more, so what do I have to lose right? "So, I once dated Gavin..." Their jaws drop at the same time. "For the record, I didn't have a good time!!" I add quickly. As they laugh at me, a wave of anxiety hits me, what if they hate me now? I just started to warm up to them.

Hank interrupts me before I start apologising. "How about I take you two out for drinks tonight and you can tell the greatest story we've probably ever heard?" Hank offers. I mean... I haven't had a good drink in a while. And maybe I could be friends with these guys? They seem nice. I nod and smirk, the anxiety slowly disappearing "Sure." I say and nod. "Sounds like a plan."
