GLITCH [CONNOR]

JERICHO

After a quick stop at a clothes store, the android RK800 and the human detective had headed back to her apartment. They had changed into their new outfits and were taking a look at the other. Connor was in an outfit that wouldn't draw any attention, black beanie covering his LED, dark brown leather jacket, jeans and a pair of sturdy brown boots. He looked human. The ash-blonde female in front of him wasn't wearing her usual Detroit Police jacket, it would draw too much attention. Instead, she was wearing a black uniform with a blue triangle on the left of her chest, the text 'AP700' on the right of her chest and around her right forearm was a blue band, indicating that she was an android. "Something about this doesn't feel right." Faye joked.

"You look good." Connor looked her up and down. If Faye was going to pass as an android he needed to make one final adjustment. Faye was wearing her hair in a ponytail, Connor reached his hands around Faye's head and gently pulled out the hair tie. Her ash-blonde hair fell to her collar bones and Connor adjusted it so that it covered her temple where a LED was supposed to be, "there."

"The tables have truly turned. A human mimicking an android." Faye said as she fixed her gun so that it sat more comfortable at the back hem of her pants, "you think Kamski would find this interestingly ironic?" Faye mocked Kamski's voice when she said the last two words making Connor chuckle.

"Definitely." Connor fixed his beanie so that it covered the LED, "we have to go now." 

"Yeah, I know." A wave of sadness suddenly flooded Faye. She stepped away from Connor and paced around the apartment. She walked up to the bureau and took up the picture frame standing on top. She took out the picture of her graduating from the police academy with her dad holding her and stuffed it in her pocket. If things were to go wrong at Jericho, Faye wanted to die with a picture of her dad close to her. "Let's go." She moved towards Connor who was standing in the doorway. On her way out she grabbed a jacket of hers that she put on top of the android uniform, covering her disguise, for now.

The two lovers walked down the streets of Detroit, they were heading for the subway station. "You never told me about your father," Connor started, "what happened to him?"

"He," Faye's voice cracked, she rarely thought about what happened to her father, it hurt too much, "he got mugged and as he tried to fight off the attacker, he got shot. He was dead before paramedics could get to him." Faye closed her eyes as she forced down the tears.

"Did they found who did it?"

"Some punk who needed money for Red Ice." Faye could feel the grief inside of her turn to rage as she thought about the attacker, "I swore to myself that I would never let down any victim's family. That I would do everything in my power to find every culprit of every case I ever worked on."

"Why?" Connor's question made Faye look out into the distance, she saw the railway, they were closing in on the subway station that would take them to Ferndale Station.

"Because when you're knee-deep in grief, you need answeres." Faye answer was something Connor couldn't understand, he had never griefed so much or lost someone that close to him. he figured that if someone ever shot Faye, he would go to hell and back to find the guilty one and then he would do things that he only that kind of sorrow and hatred would make someone do.

As Faye and Connor got off the train at Ferndale Station, the first thing they were met by were mural walls painted in red with all kinds of motives. "And now?" Faye asked and Connor responded with raising his left hand and a symbol was depicted. It didn't take the two detectives long to find the same symbol on the murals.
