Chapter 6

A/N: Heyo! I nothing for me to say. See ya at the end! [Art credit goes to Zerochan (again)]

(Y/n)'s POV

After the whole mishap revolving around you and Mariella things around the house grew quiet. I can feel she wants to talk some more. But mostly about what I'm going to do now that I know she's been a deviant over 23 years. They'll surely disassemble her if I report her! But I'll be on edge if anyone starts to question anything. You break from thought to see Mariella fast asleep across your lap. For right now I will let her rest. She is probably tired from keeping up with the same act for a long time.

You slowly but surely raised her head and set in on the couch. Force of habit got the best of you when you draped your fleece blanket over her. You sauntered into the dull house and leaned against the countertop. You pulled the post-it note from your pocket. Connor... I still want to know what happened. Maybe I should- no, that'll just piss Hank off even more than he probably is already. I guess I'll have to wait for tomorrow. You set the note on next to the sink and walked a few steps before the house phone rang.

As quick as possible, as to not wake Mariella, you answered the phone. "Detective (L/n)." You automatically answer with.

"(Y/n), it's me, Connor. How are you feeling?" Connor asked.

"A lot better. I'm going to be back to work tomorrow morning as per usual." You smiled while putting an arm on your hips. You then realized that you were on the phone and returned to normal posture.

"That is beyond amazing!" Connor claimed excitedly. But there was something lingering in the call, and you waited for him to bring it up knowing he eventually would. "Did you receive my note?" He finally spoke.

"Where would you like to meet?" You chuckled at how long it took him to respond.

You walked into the empty, dark park expecting to see the android that would hopefully explain to you what happened last night when you blacked out. As you expected, there stood Connor at the other end of the small park that you remember from when you were a child. The blue LED and armband stood out more than anything else on his body.

The only source of light that permitted you to see each other was the dimmed lamp posts and the building across the way from the street. Before you came to the park you didn't expect to be so awkward and timid near an android. But here you are!

"So I wanted to talk to-" The both of you said at the same time. You uncomfortably laugh and cling to yourself to relieve so of the stress.

"You go first." Connor purposed.

"Um, okay." You answered now very nervous about the answer you were going to receive. "Uh, what exactly happened last night? Mariella didn't know and Hank was probably asleep for it. You're the last person I can rely on to answer this question that has been haunting me all day." You discretely begged.

"Actually, that was what I wanted to talk about with you." Connor replied while his LED turned yellow at the thought of it.

"Please tell me I didn't do something I'm going to regret when you tell me." You hid your face with embarrassment.

"There's the problem. I'm not sure if you'll be embarrassed or not." He claimed.

"Well, I guess there's only one way to find out." You shook yourself to prepare yourself for the worst.

Connor hesitated while he stared at your cringing face. "Are you sure you want to hear this? You don't seem like you'll enjoy the answer." He inquired holding your face up to look at his. Connor's chocolate brown orbs stared directly at your (E/c) eyes. You could feel heat rush to your cheeks and make you glow even more than before. "Uh. Right. Yes, I want to know." You realized how you were gawking at the android and snapped back into reality.
