So Glad I Met You (DBH Connor x Lia)

Chapter 4 - Small Talk with an Android

Puma's POV

The next day I was looking over a report when I heard footsteps from behind. Too inhuman footsteps.

"Good morning detective." Connor greeted me.

"Morning Connor." I smiled at him.

"Are you sure you don't need a day off because of what happened yesterday?"

I looked at my arm.

"I'm a bit sore, but it's no reason to miss a day."

Dad was really pissed at me yesterday, and I can imagine what he's going to say when he sees me working as if nothing happened. It was silent for a moment.

"Do you know what time the Lieutenant gets here?"

"Depends where he was the night before. We'll be lucky seeing him before noon." I say, not looking up from my report on my computer.

I saw Connor analyzing Dads' desk. I let him be, thinking it would be better for him to learn more about Dad to please him.

I sighed and placed my chin on my hands, propping my head up.

An android belonging to Carl Manfred-

I perked up at the famous painters' name. I'd been around his house a few times, and knew him, his son, and android quite well. I've made arrests for his son Leo for red ice usage, which he always managed to slither his way out of. He didn't like me very well because of that. I got back to the report.

-Carl Manfred supposedly had a fight with Leo Manfred and was destroyed by the police officers.

(A/N: alright while I was writing this I burst out laughing because of that sentence structure. I still laugh at it when I look at it today. Help. My humor is broken.)

I put my fingers against my mouth in shock. Carl's android, Markus, was very sweet, and it broke me that he was destroyed. Carl and I shared a belief for androids to have better treatment and considered each other close friends. I brought my cup of hot chocolate to my mouth, realizing it was empty. I stood up and started walking toward the food area to get another cup. Connor stood up with me.

"I can get that for you, Detective Puma." he gave me a smile and took my cup, walking away.

"Em, thank you!" I shouted after him.

I began to look over my reports again when I heard a loud mocking voice coming from the lunch area.

"Ah, it's the android that almost got shot and had to have a girl cover for it so he didn't die! How pathetic is that? And they call you an android? Aren't you supposed to work better with us humans so that you get through your investigation quicker? So far, it seems you want to wipe out all the humans in this department. Is that your plan? For androids to replace everyone?" Gavin laughed as he started strolling toward Connor. I let out a huff of anger and marched up to the lunch area.

"Ah, just a fucking plastic detective! So you Hank's drinking buddy? You bring him home when he gets too drunk to find his car? Ha, he stinks of booze."

I've had enough of Reed. I stormed straight up to him and pointed my finger straight at his chest.

"I have had enough of you trash talking my dad. I will not tolerate that kind of behavior from you. What's he done to you anyway?" He looked at me with a smirk as I yelled at him.

"Honey, move out the way, I have some unfinished business to attend to. Thank you," He tried to take my shoulders and I staggered back in disgust. He went over to Connor.
