Outsiders (DBH Connor x vampire!OC)

Chapter 20

"we might have a problem." The guy says as soon as he sees Faith. His whole posture changes from relaxed to tense in a matter of milliseconds.

Connor puts her on her feet again, but has to steadily hold her back.
The frenzy in her eyes, her whole body ready to leap forward.
The man hands her a bag, which she nearly rips open.

"I'd suggest to not look, she's not consciously here at the moment." The man warns the three androids.
Markus and Simon give Faith some privacy, Connor can't seem to look away both fascinated and analysing how Faith digs into the bags, draining them of every drop of blood.

Near the end she slows down until she curses.
"Welcome back." The man's eyes are flaming red. Probably triggered by the scent.
"I'm sorry abo..."
"Don't be." Markus interrupts her sentence.

She smiles at him before turning to the man.
"What's the bad news Dylan?"
"That's all I could get. It's part of my own back up and a few others. You'll have to wait another week before I can get you your part, I could arrange that you get double because of an emergency, but I can't get it to you now."
She seems to pale more, looking in the bag.
It's enough for a few days.

"Thank you. I really appreciate this. Be sure to tell that the others too. If I can ever help you guys out with something."
"You're already doing a lot. I'll take my leave now. Stay safe, you hear me."

Faith nods and watches Dylan leave.
"What should we prepare for?"

She doesn't answer and just leaves out the doors.
"Con, we need to go to the station. I have to warn Hank and Fowler. Might even have to tell Gavin. We'll see."

"Erm, sure. I'll call a cab."
She nods and walks to the street, waiting on Connor.
The tension and anxious nervousness radiates of Faith, leaving Connor hesitant.

"I know we haven't talked about us." She starts as she turns around. Her eyes watery.
"I want an us, but we can't go public. This might have been a warning, and it almost killed you."
Connor wraps his arms around her, lips near her ears.

"We'll be careful. I understand that we need distance when we are out. I understand."
"It's going to be frustrating."
"I am aware."

A cab stops, making a sound at arrival.
Faith pulls Connor inside the cab.
Kissing his lips as soon as the car closes.
Blindly, Connor interfaces with the cab to register the location.

The drive feels too short for them, the cab pings at their arrival and opens the doors.
Connor gets out first, followed by Faith. Both look slightly disheveled.

Connor smirks as he straightens out Faith's shirt, before fixing his tie.

They don't say anything as they walk inside. Finding Hank at his desk.
"We need to talk." Faith says, making the lieutenant look up in surprise.

"Are you okay? You have been gone for almost a week. Fowler is positively out of his mind in anger, Gavin keeps asking questions. He's in the restroom now so he might be back."

"I'll go to Fowler first." Faith leaves for the glass office, not even needing to knock on the door.

"You have some explaining to do."
