Detroit: Reborn (DBH Fanfic)

Ch.9-Mission Complications

~Cyberlife Tower: December 10th, 9:30am~

The police were already in place, wearing riot gear and having their guns in their hands as they secured the perimeter with the androids already waiting at the gates and more walking down the road. Connor was wearing his DPD gear as he watched the androids, looking for anyone in the crowd that did not belong. The Cyberlife company's way of keeping track of the supplies they gave out were to shop for what you need then taking the supplies to the line of people that would take the serial numbers down of the android and the amount of supplies they would take. Afterwards they would give androids some time to pay off the parts they take, anything overdue would have fees.

"Connor, look through the crowd, see if you find anyone." Fowler ordered, moving back to the line.

Hank wasn't with him today, on account of it being too early and he was going to be investigating the man that attacked him last night. Connor nodded and walked into the crowded area of androids and a few humans that were accompanying them. Any humans he saw however he would quickly scan to identify, but most had no offense or none against androids. As he walked around he quickly found Katie and Allen in the crowd and walked over to them.

"Good Morning." Connor greeted them with a smile.

"Hey Connor! What are you doing here?" Katie asked, pulling the hood down off her red hoodie that was written in white on the front "It's an Anime thing you wouldn't understand."

"Yeah, is there a reason there are so many cops?" Allen questioned, tilting his head.

"We came across some..problems, just make sure you two stay together." Connor replied. "I assume you get to go straight to the front Katie."

"Oh no Connor. I'm waiting just like everyone else." Katie shook her head. "Just grabbing some thirium and supplies for my employees that couldn't come today."

"I do not understand why you did not close your restaurant." Allen spoke, looking at Katie.

"Because Allen I need to make money somehow, every penny helps. And that's not just for me, the android employees need money for their own living." Katie replied with a smile. "Here could you go ahead of me? I'll follow in a minute."

"Alright." Allen nodded and walked off, looking at a sheet of paper of the parts they need. As he left Katie quickly turned to Connor and gave a smirk.

"You look really handsome Connor." Katie playfully winked.

"Thank you Katie, you look nice yourself." Connor replied, making Katie giggle.

"Connor I'm wearing a hoodie and jeans, you're in full uniform." Katie replied. "It suits you well."

"You prefer me in uniform?" Connor asked in a little surprise.

"I like you Connor, I think you'd look good in just about anything." Katie's eyes averted away for a second before returning to meet his gaze. "Connor, is something going to happen? I remember Markus calling me and saying to be careful but he said nothing else.."

"We may have a lead that someone maybe after the androids today, we want to make sure everyone stays safe." Connor said, keeping his voice down for her. "I was actually attacked by a man last night, I assume he just wanted my thirium."

Katie gasped as her eyes widened a fraction. "Oh my god Connor are you alright? You're not hurt?"

"I was shot, but Kelly fixed me up." Connor smiled softly. "She is an excellent Android medic."

"My god, I mean I'm glad she fixed you but Connor you should be resting." Katie's voice was silvery with concern.

"I am alright Katie, you go and get your supplies. We have guards all around the grounds to watch for any suspicious people." Connor said, experimentally touching Katie's shoulder, and seeing no reaction to move his hand off he gave a light squeeze.
