"Lieutenant? Can you tell me more about those girls in the picture?" Asked Connor as he pointed to a picture of Hank, Cole and three girls that seemed to be Cole's cousins. "Hm? Oh them? Those are my nieces.. pretty, aren't they?" He then pointed to the first girl who was a little taller, roughly about 5'7 who was hugging him with her arms around his neck. She had mocha colored skin, long curly brown-auburn hair that was tied into a high ponytail with a red jewel-incrusted tie, gray-blue orbs with a slight sapphire streak in the left eye. She wore a blood red sundress with a burgundy rose choker on a black band, black sandals and a pair of ruby earrings.

"That's Emily. Heh, you would have loved her if you had the chance to meet her.. she was a bright young thing with the purest heart of gold. She was actually asked out by a lot of boys that I had to beat with a stick 9 times per day.." he then pointed to another girl. She was a bit shorter, about 5'2 who was smiling. She had short blackish-blue hair in a pixie cut, dark sapphire orbs with a ring of aquamarine on the outer edge, making them pop and fair skin with some freckles on her cheekbones.

She wore a black lacy dress with light blue flower patterns and tulip sleeves that reached her knees, black Mary-janes with white frilly ankle socks, a sunhat with a blue lining, a necklace with a golden sunflower, and sapphire stud earrings. "This here is Aisha. Sweetest girl you'd ever meet and a huge history lover. Ask her anything revolving history and she would happily tell you." Then, he pointed to the final girl who looked to be in the middle, 5'5 as she was holding Cole. She had short red hair, eyes that reminded Conner of pine trees with a slight emerald streak through the pupil, and fair skin.

She wore a lily petal white dress with a pearl belt, a pair of pear pearl earrings, a white rose choker with a black leather band, and golden satin flats. "And this is Liliana. She was an innocent girl that just pulls you into her magnetic aura. Once when a guy tried to do anything to her while she was asleep in school, everyone was death-glaring him, daring him to try to hurt her." He said with a small chuckle as he looked at the picture frame with love and.. sadness? "You speak of these girls as if they are deceased." Hank sighed softly as he flipped the frame down on it's face.

"They are.. all three of my girls.. when Cole died, they were all devastated when they heard that the surgeon was on red ice when they performed the operation on him. Emily.. she was the first to die.."

"What happened to her?"

"She was walking home from her work at a nightclub when that bastard ex of hers appeared and tried to assault her.. she fought back fiercely, but.. it wasn't enough. She dragged herself to the forest with her remaining strength and.. died there. When I was walking there, I saw her dead body and screamed and cried, holding her.. I called the police and her ex was arrested. Turns out, he was hopped up on red ice and killed her under the influence. She died on January 9th, 2003."

Connor was horrified when he heard the tragic tale of how Emily died. "And.. the others? Aisha and Liliana?" Hank was silent before slowly starting to explain how Aisha died.

"My sweet Aisha was killed with a gun when a drive-by happened.. I wanted to chase after the perp who shot her, but I knew I had to save her.. but it was all in vain, she looked at me with those damn eyes and said her last words to me: 'Uncle Hank, I'm not going to live any longer, please.. take.. my.. necklace, that way, I'll always be with you..' then.. she closed her eyes, never to wake up.. died September 1st.. 2004.." guilt racked his body like a tsunami. "Liliana had the most gruesome death.."

"Lieutenant, you don't have to-"

"No, I have to.. I want you to know why i keep this picture of my girls and son.." he took a deep breath to steady his nerves. "My innocent flower was shot in a shooting.. she died when trying to protect her friends from the asshole.. she was a selfless woman, one would have sworn to protect her. She.. had 14 bullet wounds. 13 on her arms and stomach, 1 in the head, died June 15th. When I got the news, I held on to all three of my girls' chokers, as a reminder of my failure to save them.." he said, before feeling soft fluffy red wings around him.

"Don't be sad, Uncle!" A soft voice chirped as Connor froze. There, standing right behind the lieutenant, was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She had the same skin, hair length and color, and, eyes just as the girl in the picture. It didn't take a genius to figure out that was Emily.. she looked more attractive than in the photo.. "E-Emily?! How are you-?!" The angel smiled before folding her wings and hiding her halo. "Let's just say.. we had a second chance at life and it's not just me." She said, as white with gold tips and light blue wings appeared before Hank.

"Hi Uncle Hank!"

"Hi, Uncle!"

"Aisha?! Lily?! I can't believe this.. I thought I fucking lost you three all those years ago!"

Emily stepped forward. "You never lost us, dear Uncle. Instead, we became your guardian angels.. we had to try to talk to you, so.. we asked a certain person to help us. Well.. you know the rest." She said before Hank hugged them all. "I don't fucking care about that, I'm so damn glad that you three are back.." they felt him grip their dresses by the small of their backs.

"Don't ever fucking leave me again, girls.. please."

"We won't, Uncle." They said in unison. "Also.. who's that nice man staring at Emi?" Asked Liliana as she pointed towards Connor. "I'm Connor, the android sent by CyberLife." He said, as Emily smirked. "CyberLife, you say?" She stepped closer to him, her eyes slowly darkening and becoming almost alluring yet foxy. "Care to elaborate?" She crooned, Conner running a diagnostic self-scan on himself, seeing no viruses. But.. why was he acting like this, to such a beautiful, sweet, and seductive woman? He blushed blue as his thirium pump was beating so fast, he could hear it..

"Looks like Connor has it bad for Emily!" Teased Hank as Connor smiled, hearing the laughter of Aisha and Liliana. Emily probably teleported back towards Hank's house as he couldn't see her. Maybe he did have it bad for her..
