"Officer L/n! My office please...NOW!"

Ahhhh there's nothing like the sound of a stuck up ass shouting at you first thing in the morning, almost as close to hearing a guy four years younger than you trying to flirt with you and thinking he's being successful at it *cough-cough* Reed *cough-cough*. Any-who, I get off my ass and slowly walk up to Fowler's "little glass box" that is his office and brace myself for whatever telling off he's about to give me. Not that I'm usually in deep shit with him but as of late there's been a load of android related crimes and it seems to be getting to him, it's not surprising really he's under a lot of pressure not only from the press but from the public in general to get this under control so he's got a lot on his hands.

"Yes sir?" I ask timidly.

"I'm sorry for this to be so short notice but we are lacking in officers who are... let's say 'open' for this particular job and you've just recently wrapped up a case and your very adaptable in your surroundings..." he said rather more babbling than telling straight up.

"By 'open' you mean...?" I asked still confused as to what he's getting at.

"We're being sent an android from Cyberlife to help with this case and you know how people are about these tin cans they're not exactly "comfortable" with the regular police androids that we have. So I'm assigning you to this case because of your more placid nature towards them." He sighed as he finished talking, it was obvious to see that he was struggling to get people for this so without letting him finish I just said I would until...

"Oh and the android won't be the only one you're working with and don't worry I haven't put you with Reed, you'll be working with Anderson as well" he finished.

"WHAT!" I yelled more in surprise than dismay solely because Lieutenant Anderson is hardly ever in to begin with so I might as well be doing this with myself and the android.

"I'm not trying to be rude here sir but Lieutenant Anderson is hardly ever in, I might as well be doing this with only the android" I told him.

"Yes but that's the other reason why I chose you. I want you to bring Hank in for work or at least try to when you get a call or something and seen as how you have a lot of patience you'd be a good match to be with him in the sense that he's easily angered so to speak" he said trying to convince me that this is a good idea.

I just sighed and gave him a slight nod. But before walking out of the office he said something that sparked my interest.

"Oh and Y/n? I know how you used to idolise Hank in the early days before he became so distant so that was another reason why I chose you for this" he said with a wink and a sly grin. That man truly is an ass, I playfully roll my eyes at him and shake my head as walk back out of his office and stroll over to my desk. He also mentioned that we won't be getting this android for another week so I had chance to look through the files that have so far been admitted, I was slowly getting through them until I was rudely interrupted by this annoying bug in my ear.

"Hey" the bug said.

"..."

"Oh don't be like that sweetheart I've only come to chat" it said.

"Does anyone have bug spray?" I asked looking over my computer and looking at Chris, he just smiled as he shook his head.

"Now that's not nice I'm only trying to be friendly" it said again.

At this point I gave up trying to ignore him, I don't get why the other girls in this place swoon and giggle over this guy. I find Chris more attractive than him and me and Chris are more like siblings than anything. I turn away from my computer and look him dead in the eye.

"What do you want Reed?" I sighed.

"I want to talk to you" he said cheerfully.

"About?"

"About what the cap said in there and if you wanna catch a drink with me after work?" He wriggled his eyebrows at the last part.

"Ok one, it doesn't concern you and two, I'll pass but thanks for the offer" I tilted my head to the side and did a closed eye smile and lifted my shoulders in a shrugging sort of motion, I then dropped them and the smile and turned back to my computer which had then gained another 10 files on a few different android assaults and disappearances. I sighed and lifted my hand to my face to cover my eyes. I looked through them once again only looking at ones that caught my eye, one of the files had a model WR400, a sex android that disappeared from the Eden Club. According to the file the android had accompanied a customer back to their house but never returned, quite frankly I would have done the same as well if I had their kind of job. It's not the most pleasant of works out their but as people do say 'if it puts food on the table' then it's what you have to do but in this case they don't have that, androids I mean.

It's kinda sad really and this whole situation I'm in is kinda ironic to say the least. To put things straight I've been helping some deviant androids either go into hiding or leave the country with the help of my friend Rose, she's a believer in that these androids are more than just a piece of plastic and that they can have emotions, rights and thoughts of their own without us telling them to do so and to be honest with you so do I, at least that's what I want to believe. Some people think I'm mad when I tell them that and that's why I don't say it as often especially if I'm at work, Gavin being the number one person who I'd never have a intellectual conversation about because he'd just say I'm mad and probably pick on me for it or he'd just completely avoid me which now that I think about it that's not a bad idea. Speaking of Reed he's been talking to me this whole time and I haven't even been listening! I'm pretty sure he said something about a stray cat he's taken in, I'm more of a dog person myself but cats are ok I guess. I have two main concerns right now, one, how do I get Hank to work with me and this android and two, how do I not get caught helping the androids. Oh it is stressful times indeed, I wish we could go back to the days when all you had to worry about is your phone updating by itself when you've already pressed the "remind me later" button but now we have mans greatest creation out to kill its own master, what has our world come to?
