August 15, 2038

When Percy got the call telling him that Paul had been killed by the family android and that his sister was currently being held at gunpoint by Daniel threatening to kill them both, he...well he panicked.

He didn't remember driving to his mom's apartment, or shouting at the guards around the place that it was his mother and sister there, he just remembers seeing his mom near the base of the elevators crying and asking why they were sending an android to save her daughter.

He quickly pulled her into his embrace and quickly tried to provide comfort for both of them as they prayed that Estelle would be alright.

Percy could barely think, but a stray though passed his mind, it was wondering why Daniel would threaten Estelle. He loved her, he was family.

Pushing the thought away for now, Percy focused on comforting his mother and praying that the android they sent in was Connor, because if they sent any other android then he knew that his sister would most likely die. Connor as equipped and ready for fieldwork, hell he was there for most of the training's that Connor had done with Elijah until Amanda had been completed.

The felt like hours, before the elevator opened revealing a familiar android face. Feeling relief course his way through his body, both Percy and Sally raced to the elevator.

Though, before he entered the elevator, Percy stopped in front of the android. "Thank you, Connor," Percy said earnest before racing after his mother for the elevator, not knowing he left the android with a red-tinted LED wondering how Percy would know his name.

Connor didn't think about it too long, he was due back to Cyberlife soon for evaluation so he could be put into the DPD to chase deviants that have slowly risen in numbers in the next few months.

Percy and Sally had just reached their floor when a small body collided with Percy. Feeling her shaking and crying into his shirt, Percy instantly dropped to the floor and brought his little sister into his arms and whispered comforting words.

Sally had soon joined them and was caressing her daughters hair, following Percy's train of thought and was comforting her the best either Jackson could.

Percy didn't know how long the family stayed there, enough for the SWAT team captain to come over and ask for statements from them, and the paramedics to slowly pull Estelle with them, who ended up dragging Percy too for comfort.

With his sister in his lap, and an android paramedic looking over her, Percy received a phone call. "Hello?" he asked without looking at the number.

"Are you alright?" Elijah's voice rang out, concern obvious in his voice.

"I'm fine, Estelle was with Daniel though. Connor talked him down, but the SWAT snipers shot Daniel. I don't know why he did what he did, but...hold on for a second." Percy said as he shifted slightly and put his phone against his shoulder.

"Little Star, I need to talk to my friend about something real quick, I'll just be in that corner over there alright. I promise to not move from that spot, I just want to make this chat a bit more private alright. It's grown-up talk?" Percy asked his ten year old sister.

"Okay," she replied softly, still shaken from what Daniel had done. But also feeling more betrayed by her dad, for buying a new android to replace Daniel, like he wasn't good enough. He was the best! And her dad had wanted to replace him! Mixed between shock, anger, and sadness Estelle's emotions were all over the place.
