The day had gone by rather calmly despite Gavin's desperate side glances towards Katya and occasionally even Connor. Hank hadn't come into work and by 5 pm Katya had begun expressing her concern on a more frequent basis. It wasn't until Connor had received the assignment that the two androids began making their way to Hank's home.

"Lieutenant, it's Connor, open up." Connor shouts, banging on the door the second time. Katya was standing behind him in the rain looking up at anyways to climb in through any windows that may be open. Connor turns around and shakes his head.

"He doesn't usually lock the door." Connor muses, he felt a slight hitch of worry overcome him. Whether it was for the Lieutenant's wellbeing, time being wasted on the pressing assignment or the fact that Katya had walked around the house and was now trying to shove a window open.

"Hank?" She shouts, knocking on the window rather frantically. Connor moved to see what she was looking at, he saw through the window that Hank was laying lifelessly on the floor.

"Hold on." He says to Katya as he braces his elbow and slams it against the window, the window easily breaking. Connor would have to remind Hank to get double glazed windows for extra security, his house was surprisingly easy to break to, even on the occasion when he locks his door. Connor rather gracelessly jumps through the window and drops to the floor on the glass as Sumo approaches him curiously most likely being wakened from his slumber by the shattering of the glass.

"Easy Sumo, it's me, Connor." He says to the dog as Katya easily jumps through the window, far more seamlessly than he had.

"Lieutenant?" She approaches him cautiously, tilting her head, quickly running a scan to make sure that he wasn't dead. She relaxes slightly and turns to Sumo allowing Connor to attempt to wake him up. She observes that his food and water bowls were empty. She frowns slightly at it and steps towards it, picking it up, Sumo instantly begins to wag his tail as Katya rummages through the cupboard to find some food for him. A loud whack makes her spin around quickly.

"Lieutenant, it's me, Connor." Connor says loudly looking up at Katya who raises an eyebrow. She was programmed with basic first aid knowledge and knew for a fact that that was not how to wake someone out of their hangover. Hank only groaned and grumbled in response.

"Leave me alone fuckin android, get out of my house." Hank grunts out as Connor pulls him up off of the floor. Katya sets the bowl down and goes to help Connor carry Hank towards the bathroom.

"Oh, shit there's two of you." Hank blusters out noticing Katya's extra added effort to assist him.

"Connor you never told me you had a girlfriend." He coyly says trying to twist around to Sumo. "Sumo attack!" Sumo just barks in response. "Good dog." Hank muses.

"Lieutenant, your intoxicated, we are trying to help you." Katya says paying no mind to his previous statement whilst Connor's mind reels. Can androids partake in relationships? They aren't programmed to have desires but is it a societally rejected idea? But relationships begin with establishing a friendship. Connor considered Hank and Katya his friends. Somewhat. So if he can distinguish a friendship, could he build a relationship? His thoughts are interrupted once more by Katya struggling to open the bathroom door.
