Detroit: Reborn (DBH Fanfic)

Ch.20-Raspberry Blood

Katie's eyes widened, Connor watching her as he took a step forward and Pete raised his gun. "I swear to god if you-"

Just as he pulled the gun from her head, Katie slammed her foot onto his, making a sickening crunch noise and grabbing the arm that held the gun, forcing it to point up to the ceiling. Pete screamed in pain as he struggled with Katie for the gun, but Connor was next and ran over and grabbed his wrist, squeezing tightly to make Pete let the gun go. Even with the increasing pressure Pete refused to let the gun go and quickly grabbed it with his other hand. Katie panicked and let go of his one arm to grab the other, practically wrapping her body around his arm to weight him down as Connor began to pull him towards the windows.

"Fucking bitch-" Pete groaned and fired the gun at the floor, but the sound of the gun left Katie's ears ringing and it was just enough to make her still as he shoved her off with his foot.

Katie barely got up when Pete turned the gun on Connor and fired, Connor letting go of Pete just to dodge the bullet, but the bullet had already shot through his shoulder. His LED flashed with red and then grabbed both Pete's arms, forcing him against the window and hearing a loud crack. Noticing the window was cracked Katie got up and stood back, calling out to Connor.

"Connor that glass is going to break, get him away from there!"

"I know." Connor replied, keeping his eyes trained on Pete as he kept him against the glass, but Pete still kept a stubborn grip on the gun.

He began to chuckle and looked between Connor and Katie. "I see..this is more than just an investigation..you two knew me prior to this.."

"She helped a lot to find you." Connor replied. "Let go of the gun now."

Pete however kept talking. "What a low tactic..putting an innocent girl into a situation like this."

"Connor let me grab the gun-" Katie started to walk closer but Connor replied sharply.

"Stay back Katie."

"All for what though Connor? Even if the Oruoboros's head is cut off it will grow back, it always does." Pete smirked.

"We have already located the living area of your group and we are continuing our investigation in the other states." Connor hissed. "Drop the gun."

Connor's hands tightened around Pete's wrists, making him hiss in pain and the hand began to twitch as the gun shifted direction. "I am not going with you.."

"Pete don't!" Katie shouted. "I know...you're scared, angry, possibly disappointed..but killing anyone now won't make a difference. JUst take the time to go to jail, maybe there is a way for you to live on."

"I don't want to live..to eventually die." Pete muttered, his hand still holding the gun. "I can't live that way.."

"Being immortal, an android has more pain than you can ever imagine. Living and never seeing humans live past possibly 80 or 90 years, needing repairs, you are fortunate to be human!" Katie pressed on, her eyes watering. "I know you've done horrible things..but there's still a change."

"I ran out of that chance..and I don't regret it."Pete said feeling Connor hesitate he quickly turned the gun and shot himself.

Connor pulled away and let the body drop, Katie screamed from the gore and turned away. The deviant hunter stood in shock, trying to process what happened and his final words, but that shock withered as he heard sniffling behind him. Turning around he quickly went to Katie's side as Hank and Gavin ran upstairs.

"Holy fuck what happened?" Gavin asked as he went to look at Pete's body.

"Pete shot himself." Connor answered then grabbed Katie's shoulders carefully. "Katie are you alright?"
