「Chapter 3」

      After the whole questioning, Connor and Hank go back to the station. Connor having already sent the report of what they discovered back to the DPD during the ride, in which he sat there silently with his eyes closed as he did. As the two arrive, an officer came up to them, "We got the reports from Connor. Good job, you two." He said as Hank nodded.

    "Yeah yeah." He said while waving it off as the three walked back to the office area, "So, what now?"

     "Well, the suspect is going to be out on house arrest until his trial for domestic abuse and having possession of an illegal drug." The police officer said while handing Hank the case file.

      "What about the girl?" He asked while looking through the file documents.

      "She's... Still being questioned." The police officer said while rubbing the nape of his neck, "She's not talking much, been quiet this whole time. We suspect that she's still in shock because of what happened." He said as Hank nodded and handed Connor the file. He looked at the picture of the suspect and victim.

SUSPECT'S NAME: Alex Caranza; SEX: Male; D.O.B.: 06/15/2013, AGE: 26; HEIGHT: 5"6'; HAIR COLOR: Black; EYE COLOR: Brown; ETHNICITY: Asian and Hispanic descent; CRIME(s): Domestic violence/abuse, possession of illegal drug(s)- Red Ice」

VICTIM'S NAME: (F/n) (L/n); SEX: Female; D.O.B.: xx/xx/2016, AGE: 23; HEIGHT: (Your height); HAIR COLOR: (h/c); EYE COLOR: (e/c); ETHNICITY: (Your race); CRIME(s): N/A」

     Connor gazed over the victim's photos of her injuries and it made him upset that someone would do something as terrible as this to such a young woman. "I don't blame her for being quiet, with the shit that she's been through from what we heard." Hank said.

     "Well, from the reports we've received from Connor, I'm sure you two can get her to talk." The officer said.

     "Us?" Hank asked with a brow arched and gesturing to himself and Connor, the officer nodded.

     "Yes, with the information you got from that android, there might be a chance one of you can sway her." He said as Hank looked at Connor, "And Connor is made for things like these also, so he might be able to convince her that she's safe with us."

     "Wanna go talk to her?" He asked.

□「TALK TO VICTIM」
○「DON'T TALK TO VICTIM」

     "I think it's best if we go and try to talk to the victim." Connor suggested as Hank nodded.

     "I was thinking the same thing." He said as the officer nodded as well before leading them to one of the interrogation rooms that the victim was being held. They get to the room and see a young woman, all patched up but sitting alone on the other side of the mirrored window with a blank gaze at the metal table. "Still got nothing from her?" Hank asked with his arms crossed.

      "Nope, not a word since she's got here." One officer said with a shake of his head. Hank hummed as he patted Connor's shoulder.

      "Well, we're gonna get in there and give it a try. See if we can get her to talk." He said as the two walked over to ther door. The officer opened the door from the other room and the two walk in. Hank sits down in the chair across from her, leaning on his forearms on the table, "Hello, Ms. (Y/n). I'm Detective Lieutenant Hank Anderson. RoboCop over here is Connor." Hank greeted and pointing at Connor, who stood by Hank's side and gave a curt nod to (Y/n). Her eyes glanced up at the two before looking down. "Listen, we know that you're scared about that guy you considered your boyfriend, and we just want you to know that he's not gonna do anything to you now." Hank said as (Y/n) stayed silent. Connor analyzed her and noticed that her stress levels were through the roof at the moment, they needed to make her feel comfortable and being put in a interrogation room wasn't really helping. He also noticed that she hasn't drank anything or eaten anything for awhile.

□「SUGGEST A CHANGE OF SETTING」
○「OFFER REFRESHMENT AND SNACK」
×「THREATEN HER TO TALK」
△「STAY SILENT」

      "Would you like something to drink, miss?" Connor asked with a slight head tilt, "Maybe something on the side with it such as some kind of snack? We'll get it for you if you'd like." Connor said with a slight head tilt, the young woman glanced up at him, seeming to think about it before timidly nodding. Hank smiled softly, now they were getting somewhere.

      "Great, is there anything that you'd like?" Hank asked as she bit her lip softly in thought, there was a minute or two of silence before her soft voice is heard.

     "Hot chocolate and a chocolate chip cookie would be nice..." She said softly, an almost embarrassed blush rose to her cheeks as she glanced to the side. Hank chuckled and nodded.

      "I don't think we have that here but I can see if I can run over to Wawa real quick." Hank said before looking at Connor, "Think you can handle this yourself for about 10 minutes?" He asked.

×「OFFER TO GO」
○「STAY WITH VICTIM」

     "Of course." He said with a nod as Hank nodded and stood up before leaving. There was silence as Connor slide into the chair and taking Hank's place. Connor studied her with his hands clasped together and a slight head tilt. Her stress levels had gone down a bit but were still high.

□「ALEX」
○「MATTHEW」
×「(Y/n)」
△「STAY SILENT」

     "(Y/n)..." Connor started, "That's a very interesting name you have. It has a nice ring to it, like it can roll off the tongue as easy as well." He complimented as she blushed faintly.

     "Thank you..." She said softly, silence rising once more.

□「ALEX」
○「MATTHEW」
△「STAY SILENT」

     "I'm sorry for what happened to your android. From what I could tell, you two were close." Connor said as (Y/n) grimaced softly.

    "We were..." She quietly said.

□「ALEX」
△「STAY SILENT」

     "Listen, all we want to do is help you, miss. If you're afraid that Alex will hurt you again, I want you to know that he won't. Not anymore now." Connor said, "If you just help us by just talking to us than we'll do everything we can to help you."

     "But what if he gets out...?" (Y/n) asked quietly, "Or gets bailed out and finds out what I said about him...?" She rubbed the patches with a pained grimace, "Will he hurt me again...? There's no doubt that he will..."

□「TRUST」
○「SINCERE」
×「COLD」
△「RATIONAL」

     "Miss," Connor started, "We'll do everything in our power to protect you. He's not going to hurt you anymore and we'll be sure of that." He said wth sincerity. (Y/n)'s (e/c) irises looked up and met with his brown ones, for some reason, she found them to be mesmerizing in a way.

     "You promise...?" She asked quietly and Connor nodded.

     "I promise." He said, he sees that her stress levels had gone down some by his promise. Connor looked back at the case file and sees that Alex would be on house arrest until his court trial and he came to the realization that she had lived with her boyfriend, "Do you have any place to go for now until they determine when to hold the court trial?" He asked as she had come to the realization as well and shook her head, looking down with a grimace.

     "No..." Connor bit his cheek as his LED turned yellow and the light swirled. He remembered that Hank had an extra room in his home that used to be his son's but is now vacant. But he wasn't sure if Hank would approve.

○「OFFER HER A PLACE AT HANK'S HOME」
□「WAIT TO ASK HANK」

      Connor rationalized the options. Sure, Hank would probably be mad if Connor had offered her a place in a home that wasn't his but Hank's with his "okay". But Hank does have a soft side to him and would be willing to let her stay until she can get back onto her feet given the situation she's in. It might take some convincing but maybe if (Y/n) helped around the house, such as clean it for example in which the house is in need of, there's a possibility he might give her a chance. Connor's LED turns back to blue as he leaned forward a bit to look at her almost closely. "Well, Lieutenant Anderson has a spare room at his house that he can possibly lend you until you figure out what you want to do. You can stay there if you'd like." He said as she looked up at the android in surprise.

     "You think he'd let me stay...?" (Y/n) asked softly, "I don't want to be bothering him or anything..."

○「LIE」
×「TRUTH」

     "I know he won't approve of it in the beginning. But given your situation, I'm sure he'll let you stay if we can convince him and give him a reason to." Connor said as she nodded.

     "Thank you, Connor..." She said softly as Connor nodded, giving a soft smile towards her that made her heart pick up its pace a bit and a tiny blush rise to her cheeks. The door to the interrogation room opens and Hank walked in and he placed the cup on the table and a pack of cookies.

     "Here you go, miss." He said, "One hot chocolate and cookies," He then looked over at Connor, "You owe me 6 dollars." Connor nods.

     "Of course, Lieutenant. Is it also alright if (Y/n) can stay at your home for the time being?" He asked nonchalantly and Hank looked at him sternly.

     "What?" He asked as (Y/n) sank a bit in her seat, feeling rather guilty as she had a hunch that Hank might not be for the idea.
