Detroit: Reborn (DBH Fanfic)

Ch.3-Blue Faith

~SunnyLife Motel: December 3rd 6:12pm~

Arriving at the motel Connor and Hank were the ones to come out and reach the cashier's counter, trying to be discreet. Connor kept a look out for the group of people while Hank talked with the manager about the room. It was a normal motel, small, two stories and about 100 rooms to which they were only focused on one. The two made their way upstairs, Hank muttering into his communicator to have a couple officers stay outside and the rest follow them in.

Connor scanned around for any traces of red ice or thirium but found nothing, he calculated that it was most likely just a meeting rather than the drug deal itself. Hank and Conner were first to the door and slowly Connor leaned his head against the wall, hearing muffled talking on the other side. Nodding to Hank, Connor moved away so he could kick the door in.

"DPD! Hands up!" Hank shouted and held out his gun.

To the statement seven men were inside and two bolted to the window while the others grabbed weapons, mainly being crowbars and baseball bats. The other officers quickly ran in to grab the men and Connor quickly disarmed one before pinning him to the wall. Hank struggled take away one of the men's weapons but another cop grabbed the thug and wrestled him to the floor. Outside the two that had climbed out were chased down, one getting tased for not listening to police orders, and the other was tackled down.

As quick as the raid began, it was controlled and finished. Hank informed the others to take the seven in custody while he and Connor had a look around. Said android was already scanning everything, seeing documents on the floor and detailing everything mentally. "Lieutenant, It seems they had more than one base in mind."

Hank walked over and kneeled down, looking over the map of detroit. "Well shit..Looks like they were making a choice on their next location."

"There are many X's, but circles as well. The X's seem to mark places that are abandoned." Connor stated before looking to the weapons and picking them up, scanning for prints.

"Once we get back to the DPD we'll get answers out of them. For now let's call in to the science team to have everything bagged and tagged." Hank responded. "Let's get going."

Connor nodded and called in to the DPD while Hank looked around, seeing one of the symbols again on the wall. Examining it closer Hank noticed it was still wet, but the red paint was more fluid going down the wall. "Hey Connor. Can you tell what this was painted with?"

Getting his attention, the ex-deviant hunter walked over and scanned over it. "The blue serpent is created from Acetone, Xylene and Toluene."

"Connor, just tell me is it paint?" Hank grumbled, looking at his partner.

Connor nodded. "Spray paint, but in the red there is hints of human blood."

"Human blood?" Hank questioned, turning to examine the room. "I don't see blood anywhere else, muchless any weapon like a knife."

"It's possible they were in the middle of a ritual, perhaps an entrance ceremony." Connor suggested.

"Are you suggesting it's a cult or the drug ring is recruiting?" Hank asked, quirking a brow.

Weighing his responses and after determining what they found in the room Connor answered. "I believe a recruiting ritual."

"Great.." Hank groaned.

They waited, collecting what information they could from just looking around until the forensic team arrived. They began to take pictures and collect evidence while Connor and Hank went downstairs to ensure the Manager that the group was caught.
