Twelve: stranger in need

What if he's hurt?

What if I never see him again?

What if we're already too late?

What if-

the many 'What if's were all that were circling (name)s mind as she ran in the icy rain to the market place where Simon said he was in his last message. She didn't  care about the frigid conditions she was not dressed for, the doctor at the hospital and connor both telling her not to over-exert herself, or even the thought that she was unprepared to have to go against some sort of crazy android.

No, there were no concerns like that in her mind, all that mattered was if Simon was okay. She could not afford to lose another friend. no not after brent.

Though nines wasn't thinking anything of that sort. All that mattered to him right now was to diffuse the situation as quickly and safely as possible. It really didn't matter to him if the two androids were damaged. All that matters to him in this moment is fulfilling his mission and helping other humans. Whether it be for Connors 'girlfriend's sake or not.

Quickly, the pair made it over to the marketplace In desperate search of any kind of distress.
As soon as they stepped on the asphalt they could immediately tell from the scattered debris and the dents and scratches on the nearby cars, there was definitely a struggle of some kind, and fairly recently too. Even someone like (name) with no police background could tell that. However there were no humans or androids to be seen.

Nines scanned the whole parking lot for clues or traces of thirium that might could lead them to where the two went. However, a loud yell toward the back of the building directed them exactly where they needed to go.

"Ralph won't let the android who destroyed his home get away with it!"

Immediately, the two sprinted across the parking lot that now seemed to go on forever in (name)s mind.

Slowly dread began to set in and sink down like a heavy rock in the pit of her stomach. She was petrified of what she might see as she turned the corner.

When nines and (name) both set their eyes to the scene behind the building, both were taken aback by what was in front of them.

In the middle of the small employee parking lot in the back of the building, an android was holding Simon against him, a sharp rusty blade being held against his plastic coated neck.

"You will pay for what you did to Ralph!" The android shouted, his greasy blonde hair, that was once perfect as all androids, was now coated with soot, ash, and grime. His skin dirty and cracked on one side, showing the many circuits and wires the humanoid robots hide under their perfect skin, all the raw emotion and the pure unfiltered fury that came along with them.

That's what (name) has begun to see over the past couple of months, not all androids were perfect, caring beings. Some could be just like humans, horrible and uncaring individuals. She was rather shocked with herself that she'd been so naive to that fact.

However while (name) was taking everything in, it didnt take long for nines to figure out who exactly this android was, and what exactly he was yelling about.

he saw connors crime report on his desk, he knew what had happened last night.

"an abandoned house was burned to the ground last night by a group of violent android protestors. the android that was occupying the residence was never recovered from the scene"
