"Connor?" I said waving my hand in his face, "I know you're sending a report but we are waiting,"
"Sorry," He said walking with us
Question the suspect
"What do we know about this guy?" Hank asked
"Not much," We both said
"Just that a neighbour reported that he heard strange noises coming from this floor," Connor said, "Nobody's supposed to be living here, but the neighbour said he saw a man hiding a LED under his cap,"
"Oh Christ, if we have to investigate every time someone hears a strange noise, we're gonna need more cops," Hank said
I noticed some feathers,
Feathers - Analysing, Rock pigeon
"Hey, were you really makin' a report back there in the elevator?" Hank asked, "Just by closing your eyes?"
"Correct," Connor replied
"Shit..." Hank said, "Wish I could do that..."
I leaned against the door frame, opposite Hank.
Connor knocked on the door.
No response
He looked to Hank, Hank shrugged his shoulders.
Connor knocked harder, "Anybody home?!"
There was a pause.
"Open up! Detroit Police!" Connor shouted
There was a huge banging noise coming from the room.
"Stay behind me," Hank said, moving into position and getting his gun out
"Got it," Connor said going behind him
I just shrugged and remained in my place
Hanked kicked the door open and walked in.
"You lead the way," I said to Connor
We walked in as Hank opened all the doors. We searched the rooms as Hank waited to open the other door.
He kicked it open and was met by a tone of pigeons.
"What the f**k is this?!" Hank shouted
Investigate the apartment
"Jesus, this place stinks..." Hank complained
I checked around the place with Connor,
"R.T," Connor said, "Probably initials,"
"He put his initials on his jacket?" Hank asked, "That's something your mom does when you're in first grade..."
There was a box of Bird food on the counter, I continued to look about, I looked in the fridge to see no food. I saw an ID, fake, with the name Rupert.
*Flashback*
The man brought out an ID while talking to the Detective, an Android was looking about.
"So your names' Rupert?" The man asked, "Nice name,"
The Android walked over and checked the ID, "It's fake..."
*Now*
Holy shit
"The driver's license is fake," I said
"Cool! At least we didn't come here for nothing," Hank said
We walked into the bathroom and looked, There it was the wall covered in rA9. I turned to see Connor checking DNA. I looked at him, he looked back.
"Thirium," He answered before I could ask
The picked something up and took a look. "It's LED is in the sink,"
"Not surprised it was an Android. No human could live with all these fuckin' pigeons," Hank responded
"Connor? Might want to see this," I said
He walked over and looked at the wall.
"Any Idea what it means?" Hank asked
"rA9..." I said, " Written 2471 times..."
"It's the same sign Ortiz's Android wrote on the shower wall..." Connor finished, "Why are they obsessed with this sign?"
"Look's like mazes or something," Hank said, looking closer
I watched as Connor analysed the stool, He grabbed my arm to show me the reconstruction...
The Deviant was writing on the wall until they heard us, they then fell and ran.
"Agh! Jesus, I hate these things!" Hank shouted opening a cupboard
Connor started analysing a fallen cage.
"Real books... I thought I was the last guy in Detroit to keep some," Hank said, "Electronic books you can't... Smell the paper... See the pages turning yellow"
Connor grabbed my arm to see the reconstruction again,
The Deviant was about to run to the door when they heard us enter, they then ran up the attic.

Choosing Actions...
I helped Connor up.
"God damn fuckin' pigeons!" Hank shouted
"What are you two waiting for?! Chase it!" Hank shouted
Within a millisecond I started running, Connor was following.
I leapt over the rail and slammed the door open, I'm not gonna let him get away... I jumped rooftop, rooftop If they are going where I think they are... I turned and took a shortcut. I leapt off the building, one step on the train and off again. I took the quickest route. I could see Connor and Rupert running. I watched as Rupert pushed Hank off the edge. I slid down to the ground, grabbing Hank and pulling him up. Once he was up I let go and headed after the Deviant. I caught them and held them over the edge by the throat, I know they don't breath but it felt good.
Hank ^
"Remember me?" I asked
"Who are you?" He asked
"The (H/C) Traci you shot? I'm surprised you forgot already, It's only been a week," I said
"You! You got me caught!" He shouted, gripping my hand
"Well, Too bad, It's happened again," I said smugly
"You told them it was me! How can you live with your self?!" He tried to strangle me
"(Y/N)! Don't do it!" I could hear Connor
"You! I'm gonna fuckin' kill you!" He shouted at Connot
"I'm sorry Connor, you don't understand, I need to do this!" I said
"We need him alive!" Connor said
"No, we don't!" I said
"(Y/N)! Amanda said it! There might be no more of you!" Connor said
"And there will be no more him!" I shouted back
"Hank say something to her," Connor said
"Look, I know what this is about, I don't blame her," Hank said, "I don't know if I can tell you although,"
"(Y/N)! If you do this! They will destroy you!" Connor said
"Look, Connor! I will support any choice you make! Please let me make this one! It's the only one I want!" I said
"You're gonna get killed!" Connor said running
"Just like you!" I said stepping off
