Safer (a Detroit: Become Human fanfic)

Way Too Emotional

💙💚

"It's time for the DayQuil, Lieutenant." Connor said from across the desk, sliding the two pills towards the grumpy man.

"I'm fine." he barked back.

"You've got the flu, Hank."

"I'm just under the weather."
"Dad."
"You got me there." Hank winked, sloppily taking the pills and getting up.

Connor wanted to ask him about Conan, but he knew something was up by the way Hank was avoiding the topic, and he was sick, so pushing him wasn't a good idea.

He decided that if Hank didn't say anything, he must be okay.

And as the decision was made, Conan ran by his desk, Gavin right after him.

"Sup, cunt!"

"Gavin?! Gavin what the-

"I'll explain!" Conan yelled, pushing to door to Fowler's office.

Detectives and officers looked at each other for a few seconds, then someone said,

"Just Gavin," and everyone went back to their business, some giggling, others shrugging, others having not reacted at all.

"What the hell is up with you, Reed?!"

"Welcome back, Captain Fowler."

"My name is Conan, I'm-

"I know who you are."

He looked dissatisfied, his eyebrows pressed together in a frown, his fists on the desk, leaning forward.

"Right, yes, we have a HUGE case-

"Hold on for a second, you just barged through my door, both of you, looking like street rats, here to present me a fucking case?"

"Listen, Fowler, this is a big deal." Gavin said, his voice serious and steady with confidence.

"Alright, and I'm willing to listen, if you sit down and properly explain what the fuck is going on."

"I'm sorry, Captain." Conan looked down, sitting in the chair in front of Fowler's desk.

Fowler sat down, sighed, and looked at Conan with a small smile, like he was relieved that they two messes sat down.

"Now tell me, what's the big issue?"

"Captain, we have a huge lead for Kane's case-

"Kane's case is an ongoing trial, how do you have a lead for it?"
"Well, we need to turn it into an ongoing investigation then, or open another case, Fowler." Gavin scoffed, looking down at his shoes.

"Tell me what you've got."

"It's an active sex ring, they operate online..." Conan went on for what seemed like an hour or two, laying out identifications on the desk, naming names, showing evidence, forwarding links and Fowler seemed all ears, nodding, not making comments. "I've identifies 258 individuals, I'll identify the rest today, we can send units to arrest them all across USA and countries that have android rights, I'm sure we can save so many people, everywhere, please, let me do this."

"Son.. We'll need to get warranty for every single one's arrest, you'll need to open a case..-

"And I will! Captain, trust me, I'll do it all in no time, I'm equipped with the-

"Son, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, they're not! Captain, they have kids in those videos, kids!"

"I understand that you're coming from an emotional place and you sympathy towards them is understandable, but Detective, this is a bit much for us."
