The night sky quickly took the place of the darkened daytime, small droplets of rain landing on the rusty Lincoln. The sound of the rain and thunder was drowned out by the loud music from Lieutenant Anderson's car, Knights of the Black Death if Connor remembered correctly. The older man said nothing as he drove, letting Connor gaze out the window and watch the buildings pass.

Hank took a look at Connor, his jaw ticked as he focused back on the road. He couldn't believe how far the two of them had come. Connor had pushed passed Hank's facade of hating androids and Hank knew he also had an effect on Connor's life as well. Although he wouldn't admit it, Hank was glad Connor was assigned to him.

The older man still knew Connor was too naive for his own good, but hell, he was born months ago. He was smart, sure, but not in all aspects. In the time that they have known each other, they have managed to coexist, and Connor put up with Hank's moodiness and his distaste for androids.

The song came to a close, a small moment of silence as Connor turned away from the window and to Hank. A small smile came to his face as Connor said, "I liked that one."

Hank fought back to the urge to smile, just a little bit, as they drove back to Hank house. The Lieutenant decided to bring Connor back with him to his house because he didn't want Connor sleeping in the police station. God knows what they would do to him if they found him asleep, if Gavin found him asleep. He shivered at the thought.

Connor seemed more than happy to finally see that Hank could actually show emotion, other than 'fuck you'. Other than preventing him from crossing the highway, Connor has barely seen Hank actually show any interest in helping more people than himself. It was a nice change, to see the big, tough guy turn soft once in a while.

The car came to a halt near the sidewalk, Hank pulling out the keys and exiting the car. Connor followed, grabbing a small bag he was giving at CyberLife with new clothes, blue blood, and other biocomponents, in case he was injured in the field.

Hank grabbed his house keys, unlocking the front door and leaving it opened for the android behind him. Connor smiled as he entered, closing the door behind him as he quickly bent down and started to pet the large dog.

"Hey, Sumo! Missed me?" Connor asked Sumo, rubbing behind his ears as Sumo eagerly licked Connor's face. The android chuckled, wiping off the spit from his face as he gave him one last pet before he stood up again. Hank watched the interaction silently before he smiled ever so slightly.

Connor took a look around before his eyes landed back to Hank. He gestured for Connor to follow him down the hallway. Connor nodded, pulling at the strap of his bag as he followed Hank into one of the extra rooms. It had plain white walls, a few windows on one side and a drawer on the other. The main items in the room were the bed and windows, and other than that, there was nothing. Connor was definitely not complaining. This is his first time he was sleeping in a room. He preferred not sleeping and eating, but he did it for the sake of fitting in with the humans. He found it unnecessary, but it did give him time to contemplate and analyze evidence if need be.

"This is gonna be your room. The bathroom is right beside you, the kitchen is on the left and the living room is down the hallway." Hank informed him. Connor knew where everything was, but he knew Hank wanted to say something to him before they parted ways.

Connor gave a nod of appreciation, "thank you, Hank. You really didn't need to do this."

"Don't worry, I know." And with that, Hank went on his way back to his room as Connor smirked slightly. That was Hank.

Connor opened his bag, checking through everything once again as he frowned. He didn't have sleepwear. Whatever, jeans would have to do. Connor pulled at his tie, taking it off as he neatly folded it and placed it in the duffel bag. He unbuttoned the first few buttons of his shirt and took his android jacket off. He pulled off his white shirt and grabbed a dark sweater and wore it.

Putting all of his belongings to the side, Connor decided to see if Hank was still awake or if he was drinking. If the latter, he was going to have to watch him. Connor exited his room, going down the hallway to see Sumo laying on the couch with the T.V. on some sports game, but not Hank.

Frowning, Connor went to the kitchen and found the Lieutenant on the kitchen table. There was many boxes of Chinese takeout and various different foods on the table, alongside with a freshly opened bottle of Black Lamb.

"May I join?" Connor pointed to the chair across Hank with a brow raised as Hank grunted and nodded.

Hank poured himself of a glass of whiskey before shooting Connor a pointed look. The android shrugged before nodding. Hank poured another glass, sliding it over to Connor. With a nod, Connor downed the shot glass, the chemicals burning as it went down his throat. His LED turned yellow for a split second before it returned back to its usual yellow color. The detective wasn't far behind him, pouring all of his drink down his throat as well.

"I would propose a drinking game, but I think we both know who would win." Connor teased with a small smirk on his lips as he poured himself another shot. Hank raised a brow, a scoff coming from him. Connor watched him over the rim of his glass, the smirk never leaving his face.

"You bet your ass we know who would win." Hank retorted, following quickly behind Connor as he also poured himself a shot.

"Let's bet on it." Connor leaned forward, his elbows propped up as he challenged Hank. The older man looked the android up and down before shaking his head. "I wouldn't want to hurt ya biocomponents. Ya know you are challenging a champion, right? Chris could tell ya how many times I whooped his ass."

Connor grinned as he went to grab the bottle once again but he suddenly stopped. His LED turned yellow as he blinked a few times. The android pressed his lips into a thin line as he abruptly stood up from the kitchen table.

Hank's eyebrows quickly shot up as he watched Connor leave to his room. "Connor? What going on?"

Connor huffed. "A bank robbery and two confirmed deaths. Captain Fowler is sending me to it."

The older man stood up, quickly sobering up as he walked towards his room as well. Hank grabbed his jacket, badge, and revolver as he waited for Connor. The android stripped himself of his sweater and quickly replaced it with his usual white button up and android jacket.

"What are you doing, Lieutenant?" Connor asked as he pulled his android jacket over his shoulders. Hank raised a brow and crossed his arms.

"Like hell, I'm gonna let you go out there alone," Hank replied in a matter-of-fact way. Connor furrowed his brows and tilted his head. He quickly exited his room, meeting Hank face to face.

"I can't let you do that, Lieutenant," Connor spoke, shaking his head.

"Do you want to walk there or do you want a ride?" Hank countered, walking past Connor and grabbing his car keys from the bowl beside the door. Connor sighed, knowing he wasn't going to be able to talk Hank out of this.

Hank opened the door, waiting for Connor. "You coming?"

Connor nodded, quickly walking through the door, but not without saying a goodbye to Sumo.
