Deviant Hunter of New Detroit- A Detroit: Become Human Fanfiction

Chapter 18: Life Is Life

Lometa, TX

Connor approached cautiously. The deviant was far away. He looked over toward Kara who kept looking behind her. "We have no choice. There was no other place to put them."

Kara trusted Alice to stay put, but Max? Connor knew he would understand the importance if conveyed correctly, but Kara's child-rearing instincts were worried. Especially since it was now the dead of night. She bent down to look at Max. "We have to go, Max. I really need you to pay attention? Don't move. I know you like to move but this is very, very dangerous. Do you understand?"

"I understand the importance," Max said. "I promise. I'll be a good boy, Kara."

Their only other choice was to trust the humans to watch them, but due to circumstances, they didn't want to trust the humans with them.

Connor saw Kara was finally ready. He pulled out his phone and dialed the number from before. It took time to get all the way into the small area. They tried to move as fast as they could but due to human rebelling, constant conversations and debates, calling of managers, calling of own airline owners, and car reservations. It was past two in the morning. "This is Connor. We've arrived."

"Thank god! Seriously. Everyone's hungry and tired but no one can rest with that thing out there."

"I need to know any updated information in the situation," Connor said. "Have there been any more fatalities or injuries?"

"Yeah. Some desperate people pulled something not too long ago. I . . . I don't know if they survived out there, if their injured. Or anyone else."

Connor nodded. "Confirmed. We will do what we can." He hung up and looked toward Kara. "There may be some negative scenery up ahead." Kara nodded.

She moved up first while Connor would be toward the back. He scanned the nearby vicinity and found one of the victims. He approached them. If Connor felt pain, he knew he would feel bad about that. Made for heavy weather, even hurricanes, the deviant may have been smaller but she was still heavy. The human was panting rapidly while he was lying on his side, covering what he could of his chest. There was no way to save him. Red or Blue blood, that many injuries he would be a goner soon.

"Stop it. Please," he said between rants. "It killed her. In front of them. Please. Please."

Connor got up. "I will decommission it." The human looked like he passed on. Words of any more comfort would have done little good. He needed to stay in the appropriate distance of Kara. He scanned the horizon and noticed more. Two determined lifeless, Two live ones with media equipment and one determined injured and most likely fatally wounded if he did not get help soon. He could make out an object near him. He went to the one who was injured.

He was clearly in pain, holding some kind of pole. Connor took the pole and examined it. It looked like it would work. He looked down at the human and scanned him closer. He was a doctor. There were syringes filled with a clear substance, with one in his shaking hand. Most likely pain killers.

Connor took the syringe out of his hand, squeezed a little and sampled it. Not knowing what he would see ahead, he collected them and placed them back in their case, except for one. He injected the human with it. If physical pain was anything like emotional pain, it wasn't something he should leave the human in.

He continued on his way, holding the pole in his hand. It was close to time, but not quiet, and he should deal with the two live ones. They were trying to hide behind a tree. "This really isn't a safe place. You need to go back instead of forward."

"No one else is out here," one of them muttered. Female, auburn hair, 5 foot 1 inch, 146.8 pounds. "If no one has any footage, then it's like it never happened."
