Detroit: Reborn (DBH Fanfic)

Ch.7-Thirium Puddles

~Electric Delights: December 8th 10:45am~

"Yes sir, as a constant customer at Electric Delights I would like to host an event for your group." Katie smiled as she spoke. "Yes, the event room will be free and all you will pay for is food and drinks."

Amy and Luke watched nervously from the hall as Katie paced, she had informed the two about the plan she had with the police but they were having doubts. They were mainly concerned for their own selves and the staff, but the thought of them having gang members here without knowing it was scary itself.

"Of course! You've come here a lot and we think it's about time to give you a sign of appreciation for supporting us." Katie giggled. "Wonderful, December 19th sounds excellent. Friday at 4pm? We'll have everything ready."

As she hung up a sigh escaped her lips and she looked down the hall. "What are you two doing?"

"Making sure everything was ok.." Luke muttered. "So..shall I post that December 19th is closed?"

"Yes please." Katie nodded and walked over. "We really need to play off this act, and I need to inform the others before the day. I'm not forcing people to stay if they're scared."

"I will stay." Amy said firmly. "This place is my home and they will not take it away."

"And there's no way I'd let them hurt you guys." Luke growled. "They'll do that over my dead body."

Katie gave a faint smile. "You two are truly amazing..but we still need to set up a meeting at some point so I can discuss it with everyone. Head back to work, I need to make a call."

Both Amy and Luke departed while Katie took a moment to think of Connor's number and waited until he opened the link. "Connor?"

"Katie, how can I help you?"

"December 19th at 4pm is when the group is coming in. I thought I should let you know right away." Katie spoke out, leaning on the wall a bit.

"Thank you for informing me." Connor replied. "I'll inform the others right away."

"Connor..did you want to come over today or this evening? I am trying new recipes and could use another person to help." Katie asked.

"I do not know how to cook but I can try to be of some assistance." Connor said. "What time would you like me over?"

"Whenever you want, I'm working a half shift so I can head home to make more thirium food." Katie smiled, even though she could not see him.

"Then, I should be able to visit around 3 if my work is completed and no emergency calls come in." Connor spoke but his voice sounded excited.

"Great! I'll see you later." Katie giggled. "Bye~"

"Bye." Connor replied and ended the link, looking to Hank. "Katie says the group will arrive at the restaurant by 4pm on December 19th."

"Great." Hank said then smirked, it was the kind of smirk that Connor always found to be teasing or playful.

"What?" Connor asked, wanting Hank to just say it, not able to take the smug look.

"So you're going over to Katie's huh? What are you going over for?" Hank questioned.

"She would like to try new recipes with the thirium and wants me to help, I assume it is because I am a deviant." Connor responded before going back to work on his computer.

"Possibly." Hank agreed. "But, think it might be because she may like you? I mean if she just wanted a deviant she could ask Allen."

Connor thought about that for a moment, his LED spinning as he processed this. "I'm sure she has a reason to ask me over."
