*Dahlia's POV*

After the events that took place at the Eden Club, Hank, for some reason, ended up driving us to a playground (where I used to play at) with all of us really tensed up. Hank was drinking, I was watching him in the car with my earbuds in and Connor was staring out of the window.

Even though he didn't show it, he felt bad when he shot those two Tracis. Maybe he was slowly becoming Deviant, or he's just over thinking things. He later left the car and decided to walk over to a drunk Hank. I stepped out and walked over to the railings so I could listen to their conversation.

"Nice view, huh?" Hank paused before continuing. "I used to come here alot before..." He stopped and drank his beer. "Before what?" Connor asked, slightly curious. "Before...before nothing" Hank replied.

"You really should stop drinking, Lieutenant. It can have serious consequences with your health" He said, growing a bit more concerned. "That's the point" Hank said, drinking some more.

"Can I ask you a personal question, Lieutenant?" He asked as Hank sighed. "Does all Androids ask so many personal questions, or is it just you?" He replied, looking at Connor and waited for his question. "I saw a photo of a child and a graduation on your kitchen table...it was your son and daughter...right?" He asked.

"Yeah. My son's name was Cole and, you already know my daughter...she really thinks that I didn't know..." Hank answered as I covered my mouth. Maybe I should've used a different name. Connor, deciding not to stay on the topic, walked to the railing, little ways from me.

"We aren't making any progress on this investigation. The Deviants have nothing in common. They're different models...produced in different places at different times..." Connor sighed. "They're has to be some link" Hank simply said, watching him.

"They have this obsession with rA9...it's almost some kind of...myth" He paused, thinking of what to say next. "Something that was invented that wasn't apart of their original programing" He said, thinking.

"Androids believing in God...Fuck, what's this world coming to?" Hank said, drinking.
"You seem preoccupied, Lieutenant...is it something that happened back at the Eden Club?" He asked, curious. "Those two girls...they wanted to be together...they seemed...in love" Hank said, thinking.

"There's nothing in their program that allows them to feel love and desire. They're machines" Connor said as Hank stood up.

"What about you, Connor? You sound human, look human...but what are you really?" Hank asked. "Whatever you want me to be, Lieutenant" He answered.

"You shot those two girls and injured my daughter in the process! Fucking bastard" Hank pushed Connor. "How did you feel when you shot them?" He asked, getting aggressive.

"Dahlia stood in the way. I had no intention of harming her..." He paused. "However, I don't know how I feel..." Connor answered, looking down, but his attention went back to Hank when he pulled a gun out and pointed it towards him. Oh shit.

"Are you afraid to die, Connor?" Hank asked as he stood there. "It would be...sad...if I was destroyed before I completed my mission" He answered. "What would happen if I pulled the trigger? Hm? Nothing? Oblivion? Android heaven?" Hank asked, looking Connor dead in the eyes.

"I...I don't know..." Connor said as Hank put the gun down. I sneezed, making both gentlemen looked towards my direction.
"I thought you were asleep..." Hank said as I shrugged and towards them. "Couldn't sleep" She explained as both gentlemen nodded.

"Can I ask a question, Dahlia?" Connor asked as I nodded. "Hm?"

"Why are you passionate about androids?" He asked. "Well...I don't know..." I lied, thinking about what to say, as I sneezed again. "I guess I'm tired of watching androids taking the blame for everything that humans do..." I said, noticing the gun.

"We don't need anyone else getting shot...dad..." I said, that last part quietly, then looked at the time. "Anyways, should I bring you two home?" She asked as both gentlemen looked at each other, then nodded.

As both gentlemen started walking, I chuckled hugged them both in the back. "The hell, D?" Hank asked as I pinched him in the back. "Shut the fuck up and enjoy the damn hug" She said as he sighed and Connor slightly smiled. I dropped both of them off before heading back home myself.
