Chapter Six; The Chase:

"So, what have you got?"

Beth shivered at the coldness, as she wore only a light jacket over her sleeveless top.

"Not much. Just that the Deviant was spotted in this area."

"Well that's just great. We know it was in this area. But that doesn't tell us where it went."

"It was lead by fear. It had nowhere to go. Maybe it didn't go far."

Beth nodded at Connor's​ statement looking towards her father, still shivering.

"Are you cold?"Hank asked his daughter, finally noticing her frequent shivering.

Beth only nodded wrapping her arms around herself. Since she still had a cold, she got frequent chills.

Suddenly she felt a warm hand against her seemingly freezing forehead. "Jesus, Beth. You're burning up."

"Really..? Cause I feel like an ice block right now."

"I detect that your temperature is 101 degrees Fahrenheit. Which is over the recommended temperature for a human." Connor said looking at her.

"I think it's more than a simple cold, baby."Hank called her by her nickname that he hadn't called her in years. Either that or he'd refer to her as his baby girl in a father daughter way.

"I'll go home after we solve this, and hopefully get something​ to eat."

Hank shook his head at that, before they finally got back to looking for the Deviant.

"Anybody home?!"Connor called as they approached an abandoned building. He looked at the fence, that looked like it had been cut.

"There's blue blood on the fence. The Deviant has definitely been here."

Beth still felt cold as she walked into the seemingly abandoned place, her father looking outside.

A scarred blond haired Android stood still in the middle of the room, looking at them as they approached.

From what Beth could see, he had severe damage to his face, and looked very stressed.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and it would be preferable if you agreed to answer them."

The Android didn't respond simply looking at Connor. Beth watched as Connor interrogated the Android, before her eyes glanced towards the stairs, under them to be specific.

"Ralph has seen no one. Ralph is alone. Ralph has always been alone."

Something in her gut told her that the Deviant was hiding there. In her decision to listen to it, she notified Connor.

"Connor, come here."

The RK800 walked over to her a look of confusion on his face. She motioned towards under the stairs, not failing to notice Ralph's​ increase in stress.

Connor seemed to realize this, as he walked over to the stairs, removing a board which revealed the Deviant, and a... Child..?

Suddenly Ralph lashed out rushing and grabbing Connor, to prevent him from getting the Deviant."Run, Kara!"

"F*ck!"Beth cried out as the Deviant shoved her out of the way before she could react. Beth was barely able to register the Deviant's apologetic look, before Kara started running away with the child.

"What?! What's wrong?!"Her father yelled.

"The Deviant's getting away!"Connor answered running out the door."Holy shit."Hank looked at her with mild concern, but she simply shook it off.

They started chasing Connor, until they came along to a fence that separated them from the Deviant."F*ck, that's insane."

Beth's​ eyes trailed towards the road watching the Deviant and child cross the very busy highway."What the f*ck are you doing?!"Hank yelled as Connor attempted to climb the fence.

"I can't let them get away."Hank tugged on Connor trying to get the Android off the fence."They won't. They'll never make it to the other side."

"I can't take that chance."

"Connor! You will get yourself killed! Do not go after them, Connor! That's an order!" Hank yelled again as the RK800 once again attempted to climb the fence.

Connor finally gave up his LED flashing as Beth put a hand on his shoulder."It's alright. They'll get caught eventually."

Connor seemed to calm slightly at her words, but still looked a little stressed. She nodded at her father, feeling her head pound as the adrenaline wore off.

It's really short this time. Chapter Seven or 0.7 is currently being written. The food scene is honestly one of my favorite scenes in Detroit Become Human.
