Detroit: Reborn (DBH Fanfic)

Ch.8-Hunting Ability

~Electric Delights: December 9th 12:30pm~

Katie was working pretty hard to make sure the thirium desserts were coming out as expected, even teaching a couple of the cooks how to make desserts when she was not around. It was a slow enough day they didn't worry about customers and had enough time to clean up everything they missed yesterday evening.

"Alright after letting it freeze for about 20 minutes it should be ok to take out and add any toppings you want." Katie finished, taking out a thirium dessert shake from the fridge.

"Katie, there's someone at the door asking for you." One of the human employees, Nathan said, peeking into the kitchen before moving away.

"I'll be right back guys." Katie smiled and left the kitchen, seeing Connor at the front counter. "Connor, what a surprise. What can I do for you?"

"I was just seeing how your new employees were." Connor replied with a smile.

"They're doing ok..but I informed them all this morning from our meeting about tomorrow and just to be careful for a couple weeks until this group was caught." Katie said with a sigh. "But they're getting the hang of things and a few other androids that came from Markus stopped by to see if I have any places in mind that need workers."

"I assume it was not as you had hoped?" Connor questioned.

Katie leaned her elbows on the counter. "I got a few of them interviews but there hasn't been too much luck, people are just too afraid of losing their jobs or having androids go nuts."

"well..I was curious, since you stop by so often at the DPD and dropped off some sweets to us..I would like to get you something in return." Connor said sheepishly.

"Oh Connor I don't need anything." Katie smiled. "It's a sweet thought but you should be getting ready for tomorrow."

"I insist." Connor said in return. "Besides, it is another way for me to apologize for not being able to visit yesterday."

Katie giggled. "Alright but..let me talk to the others, I don't want to just abandon them during work."

Nathan then called out, hearing them talking. "Katie just come back around the dinner rush, I think we'll manage until then!"

Katie and Connor stood stunned for a moment before looking at each other and Katie smiled. "I'll go grab my purse."

Katie quickly walked to her office and grabbed her blue coat and black purse before rejoining Connor at the front room, who offered a hand to her. Katie giggled and took his hand, walking with him. "So where are we going?"

"I have no place in mind." Connor spoke. "I was thinking we could just walk around."

"Sounds good to me, a day of browsing." Katie said as she stooped down and picked up a handful of snow. "I love winter, not that I really like the cold but the Christmas holiday always makes me happy."

"Is it your favorite holiday?" Connor asked as he looked to the snow she was messing with.

"Well I prefer the fourth of July but I enjoy the holiday cheer everyone has." Katie smiled, dropping the snow. "If I had known you were coming I would have brought clothes other than my work clothes."

"Would you like to go back?" Connor's tone dropped to one of guilt as he stopped walking.

"No Connor, I'm good, just complaining over nothing." Katie giggled. "Come on, I don't feel like I've ever really gotten to know you since we met."

The two walked around Detroit, nowhere to really go, but enjoying their time and swapping stories with each other. Katie primarily let Connor talk since she wanted to know more about him, despite him saying there wasn't much to talk about. The two would stop every now and then to look at a store or take in the scenery around them, even one of the stores had a Christmas tree that Katie was dazzled by.
