Hank and Connor pull up to the scenic gate surrounding pristine green gardens and big light brown painted building.
There were already DPD Cars littering the street.

'Ford House Frail Care Centre' Connor scanned the signage outside the gate, an old age home.

Hank stayed silent, he was unsure of what to think after the Eden club. Connor hadn't shot the Tracis' and let them get away, but Hank wasn't to worried about that, maybe it was for the best. Those Girls seemed to... be in love?

The car door squeaked as Hank got out the car. Connor mimicked Hank and got out.
There was a few cops patrolling the street and one familiar face guarding the gate.

"Morning Hank"
"Morning Gary" Hank replied
"Can't get a rest with these Deviants can we?" Gary remarked "this ones a tough one..." He said with sorrow

Hank moved Tensely towards the entrance of the light brown building.
Connor walked dutily forward scanning the garden as it passed.

Inside was a nicely decorated reception, to the left was a staircase going up to some rooms and to the right a recreational Centre.

Hank was greeted by a nurse behind the reception desk "Upstairs.." Was the most she could blurt out. She seemed to be in shock, especially at the sight of an Android.
Hank forced a small smile before turning to go up the steps.
Connor looked to the left and peeked into the rec room
There were a few elderly sitting around, some staring blankly at a television, two playing checkers, nurses checking patients, some elderly mopping around and a few sitting concerned in the corner. an elderly woman caught sight of Connors blue flashing LED and turned to another elderly whispering and pointing.

Connor then snapped back and followed Hank up.
They walked through a corridor and into a room

"Holy Fuck" Hank whispered

In the room, there was a unmade bed, curtains that lay on the floor, a smashed TV, an overturned table and blood splatter on the white walls. Obvious signs of a struggle. And two cold bodies; one of an old man lying face up. The other of a young man.

A Forensic team were laying down clue markers and taking photographs.

Connor stepped forward towards one of the corpses and knelt down to inspect it. The victims name was Henry Raytner. Born 1970. He was 68 years old.

He had a black eye and a split lip, head trauma and bruising around his throat. He died of strangulation.

Connor turned his attention to the other corpse. The victims name was Jacob Raytner. Born 2006. He was 32 years old.
He only had one obviously injury. A slit throat.

"Jacob was Henry's son." Connor explains

"Yeah. I know. I have the visitors schedule." Hank exclaimed holding up a clear tablet.
"Henry died of strangulation. And Jacob-"

"Connor!" Hank interrupted "I'm not blind"

Connor pouted and turned away from Hank to investigate further.

"One of the nurses saw their resident android enter the room, but didn't see it leave or where it went." A cop standing near by informed Hank "the Android was a caretaker here"

"Any idea of the model or what looks like?" Hank asked

"No. Nobody knows it's model, were told it's not a standard issue android. Female, Y/Hair Color, Y/Eye Color, Grey Cyberlife issued uniform." The officer replies "we've already checked most the rooms. Nothing."

Connor made a mental note of that and continued to look around the room and scanned all the clues.
After a few moments Hank spoke up "So Detective Connor, What happened."

Connors face bunched together while he thought a moment
"Henry was sleeping in his bed, and suddenly woke up to find.." He paused "a pillow held over his face, he struggled and pushed the attacker off and fell out the bed. The victim and the attacker had another struggle by the window.." He stopped again to think "when someone entered the room."

"Jacob came to visit his father" Hank thought aloud

"The person who entered the room ran to pull the attacker off, then they both fell backwards pushing the table down with the them. The attacker got back to their feet and went after Henry again, throwing him into the tv and climbing on top of him to strangle him to death."

"Then the attacker got back up and finished his son off?"

"No, somethings not right..." Connor contemplated

"What was used to Kill Jacob?" Hank asked

"The weapon? It's not here. From the wounds it appears to be a fine blade, like a sharp knife." Connor said "Are there any other witnesses we could Question?

"Only the Nurse that was on duty last night. But I'm told she's pretty shook up. I could see if anyone else saw anything. And no offense Connor but everyone here is not a big fan of androids at the moment, so it may be best if you just keep your head down."

Connor frowned and followed Hank out.

Hank and Connor went back downstairs. Hank stopped to speak to two nurses standing in the reception about speaking to some of the patients

Connor again stood peeking into the Rec room.

The nurses agreed to Hank and showed him into the Rec room. Connor followed sheepishly. trying to follow Hanks advice.

Hank was shown to an elderly person. "He stays in the room across from Henry's, but he would have been asleep at the time" he nurse tells Hank

"Good day sir, did you hear anything strange last night or anything out of he ordinary?" Hank asked

"WHAT?!" The man grumped

"dID YOU hear ANYthiNg STranGE laST NIGht." Hank tried again

Something caught the corner of Connors eye and he threw his gaze across the room to where the elderly woman who whispered to the other from earlier was sitting. She wiggled her finger signaling for him to come to her.

Connor walked to the lady, rubbing his hands together.

"You a cop?" The elderly woman under a crochet blanket spoke

"My name is Connor, I'm a detective from the Detroit police department." He said sounding determined

"But you're an android?" She asked

"Yes. I was sent by cyberlife."

"You seem like a good boy. Smart too. Maybe you can help..." She said trying to get out her chair

Connor put his hands out to assist the old woman to her feet, she shuffled towards the reception.

"Connor! Whata ye doing?" Hank said but the elderly man yelled at him demanding Hanks attention

Connor didn't reply and continued to follow the woman.

They went back up stairs past Henry's room and a few doors down into another room, through and into a locked bathroom. In there lay an android in a bath tub. Covered in blood and still clutching the missing murder weapon, it was a small hunting pocket knife.

The android was in shut down.

Connor scanned it,
RK400 model - Companion and Caretaker
Registered as 'Y/N'
*Damaged Components V26081*

Connor stared at the android

"She would never hurt a fly! And certainly not hurt one of us!" The old lady announced "There is just a misunderstanding.." she said defending the Android

Connor stood in the doorway of the bathroom, unsure of what to do.

"She came to Me last night and just collapsed. We didn't know what to do, but we all promised to look out for her. Everyone cares a lot about Y/N" she said "so we hid her in here, but she won't wake up..." looking mournfully at the bloodied android laying half in the bathtub and half out.

"I have to detain her for interrogation." Connor said after a pause

"No-" the old woman started as Hank walked in

"I found the deviant, lieutenant."
