SHORT CIRCUIT, connor dbh (discontinued)

"Well, what are we going to do now?" Liv asked as they went to their hotel room.

"We could try going back to Detroit? I don't think we should wait here for Liam to come looking for any of us," Noah said.

"It won't be easy getting tickets to fly to Detroit tonight, and I don't really have the money to buy three plane tickets last-minute," Liv said.

"Maybe you don't have to buy them. You know, I still know all of Liam's credit card information," Noah stated.

"Damn, okay," Liv smiled, "That sounds like some shit I'd pull. Since when do you act like me?"

"Since I realized what a jerk Liam really is, so now he can pay for it," Noah said as he pulled out his phone, "Besides, as much money as he's got, he probably won't even notice a few hundred dollars. Should we fly first-class?"

"Just take care of the tickets while we pack," Liv instructed. They had only been there a few days, and Liv had left most of her clothes in her suitcase. It didn't take long to pack, but she changed quickly into something not near as formal as what she was wearing before. Connor did the same. She zipped up her suitcase once she was completely packed. She set it out by the door. Three suitcases were by the door now, and all were changed into their normal clothes.

"The only flight to Detroit tonight leaves in a couple hours, and it's a pretty long drive to the airport. We should probably leave now, it wouldn't hurt to be a little early," Noah explained, then they heard someone knock on the door. Liv looked through and saw Liam on the other side of the door, still dressed in his tux from the wedding.

Liv turned to Connor and Noah, putting a finger up to her lips to shush them. She hoped he would go away if they were quiet enough to make him think no one was here. She was wrong.

"Open the door, I know you're in there! You're lucky I didn't the call the cops on you for stealing my car, Olivia. I still can, although I don't think you'd like that," Liam said.

"Just open the door," Noah said. Liv did so, reluctantly.

"What do you want?" Liv asked.

"I wanted to know why Noah ran away, but then I remembered the family he comes from. Running away from problems is just family tradition for a Thomas, isn't it?" Liam smirked, "I want my car back."

Liv took the keys out of her pocket and handed them to him, "Here. I don't want your car anyway."

Liam peeked his head in the doorway, seeing the luggage next to the door, "Leaving so soon?"

"Yeah, why do you care?"

"No reason," he said and smirked, "I guess I'll see you back in Detroit."

"Hopefully not," Liv said as he walked away. She grabbed her suitcase and went out the door, the other two men followed behind her.

----------

"Connor, I need to talk to you," Noah said as Liv walked away for a moment.

"Ok."

"I didn't tell Liv the whole story, but I think you should know. Liam started acting shady after that night you met him, and ever since he's been making phone calls to someone. He kept saying he needed to get two people, and one of them he kept calling a tin-can. You're the only android I know, so I might just be paranoid, but I think you should be careful." Noah explained.

"And Liv doesn't know this?"

"No, I didn't tell her about him mentioning an andriod. She knows the rest, but I don't know if Liam even knows you're an andriod. I didn't want to worry her if it turns out to be nothing, but I wanted to warn you, just in case."

"Thanks for telling me, Noah. I'll stay alert," Connor said, nodding his head. He looked over to where Liv was standing, and she was motioning the two of them to go over to her.

"Are you guys ready?" she asked, "We can board now."

"Ready as I'll ever be," Connor sighed.

"What do you mean by that? You don't want to go back to Detroit or something?" Noah asked.

"Connor's scared of heights."

"All the stuff you guys have been through, and heights are the thing you're scared of?" Noah asked.

"Yes."

"Ok then, I assume you don't want the window seat then?" Noah said and laughed a little.

"He took the window seat on the way down here. I thought something was seriously wrong with him, but then he told me he's just really afraid of heights," Liv explained as she walked towards where the plane was boarding at. They took there seats on the plane, somehow managing to get three seats together. Noah took the window seat, Liv sat in the middle, and Connor sat in the aisle seat.

"I'm supposed to be married and on my honeymoon right now," Noah said, sounding a little shocked.

"You're not having regrets, are you?" Liv asked.

"No, I just can't believe how stupid I was. At my bachelor's party I guess I realized I don't want to get married, I just want to have fun, you know? And to him, of all people," Noah said, "I talked to Connor about it, but he was a little too drunk to give any advice."

"Well, I can't say I'm not relieved," Liv said, "Connor and I never liked him."

"I just wish I called it off sooner."

"They're going back to Detroit tonight. I can be there in the morning," Liam said into his phone.

"Good. Get them here as soon as possible."

"As soon as possible? I tried getting them to you days ago, and you told me no!"

"Oh, shut up, Liam. You're supposed to listen to what I say, and then do it. I didn't hire you to ask questions. Now do your damn job," he said and then hung up the phone.
