"I am so glad you could host me at such a short notice, I normally try to leave a week ahead for my clients." Ashley said as she walked into the office.
"Quite alright Ashley, please have a seat." Katie smiled, thankful she got the call ready and tested it before she arrived. Connor could hear everything happening, but as he sat in the other room he couldn't help but worry.
"Anyways my dear, I must congratulate you, opening a restaurant at 23 and accepting androids no less." Ashley replied.
"Well I wanted a better life for those that could not reach it as easily." Katie replied, finally getting a chance to look over her guest.
Ashley was a rather thin woman, lovely though. Copper locks curled around her shoulders and she wore a white blouse shirt with black business pants, the only thing Katie found unsettling was her eyes. Satin grey colored eyes watched Katie, it was haunting to watch the gleam in them, that mix of blue sewn into grey to produce a complex color. Katie sat down on the couch and asked. "So what can I help you with Ashely?"
"Oh please don't be so formal, my friends call me Asher." She replied with a shrug. "And what I would like is to help you."
"Help me?" Katie asked. "With what?"
"With your predicament. I heard a lot about you and your charity work for the deviants, rumors are spreading that you and Markus are the go-to for android help." Asher replied with a wide grin.
"Is that so?" Katie questioned. "Well I didn't mean to make a reputation, I just wanted the androids to know they have a safe place with me."
"Your work is admirable." Asher commented. "AEI wants to make a contract, for any of your androids that get injured, they are welcomed to AEI for a full repair. Alone with that, if they have any issues with parts, i'm sure AEI engineers can help."
Katie decided to test her luck and asked. "AEI is all about disassembly though, after an android has been shut down, why would I want that?"
"A place that your androids can heal and if they should shut down their parts can be saved for another's life." Asher answered. "Isn't that what you want?"
"If they require healing, all androids will contact Cyberlife." Katie replied sharply. "They all know that, or if they were worried they would contact Markus. I have no need to be a part of the AEI service."
Asher frowned, it was almost twisted to a scowl. "That's..unfortunate.."
"I mean no offense to you Asher, but really I have only been opened for three years and the revolution has just ended, I really don't need assistance right now." Katie said kindly. "But may I ask something?"
The lawyer looked up in surprise and nodded. "You may."
"Jordin had once spoke of you. He's a customer of mine and he has mentioned how a lawyer of his could help me out if I had legal trouble. He commented of a fiery haired lawyer with an equally fiery disposition." Katie commented. "Is it true to what he says?"
Connor was taken aback, had Katie made this up or was this a confrontation he didn't remember from her memories? He heard nothing for a bit then heard Asher speak. "Yes, Jordin and I had met a couple times, he needed a lawyer in his youth for his..less mature actions."
"He's a criminal?" Katie asked.
"No, just..misguided." Asher replied then cleared her throat. "Well if you should ever need my help here's my number."
She proceeded to give Katie a card and Katie then asked. "Do you dislike androids Asher? I find them fascinating. The way they work and the wonderful things they've done-"
