-Deviate With Me~ Connor x Reader

Chapter 1

I lived with my dad when he first became paralyzed, and I was overwhelmed with work and taking care of my dad. One of my dads friends, Elijah Kamski, gifted Markus to my dad, and Markus helped lift the weight of stress of my shoulders. Me and Markus bonded, and when I was sure my dad was going to be good hands, I moved out and focused more on my job. I still made sure to contact Markus and visit once a week. Markus has been doing a superb job in taking care of my father.

"I-I love you as well, (Y/n)." Markus whispered in my ear.

I smiled and let go of Markus. I waved goodbye to the two, and started to make my way to the police station. I decided to take a taxi to the station. It took about thirty minutes to reach the police station, at least no one was hit by the self-driving taxi.

I walked in, and started to head toward the kitchen area of the office. I needed caffeine. As I was making my coffee, Gavin walked in. I rolled my eyes. Everyone hates Gavin Reed, he is rude to everyone and everything. I tried to be nice when I first met him, but after the first three minutes, I punched him.

"Look who it is, Ms. I'm a rich famous painters daughter." Reed mocked, cornering me in front of the coffee machine.

I rolled my eyes. He always thinks I'm a rich spoil brat which I'm not. I have gain my own money and own success, and I dont ever ask my father for money. "Reed, just leave me alone, or else." I glared at him.

He frowned, coming closer to my face. "Or else?"

"I won't hesitate, bitch!" I said, using my head to point to my finished hot coffee behind me.

"Whatever," Reed said and walked off.

I sighed, and continued to make my coffee. Once I was finished, I took a sip and went over to my desk. It was in front of Hank Anderson's desk, and compared to his, mine was very neat. My papers were organized, and I even had a cactus on my desk. I sat down at my desk and put my coffee beside the computer. Probably a bad idea since I am clumsy, but it's not my computer. On the other side of my computer was a picture of me, my brother, and dad all eleven years younger. My dad had both his arms around our shoulders, and the three of us were smiling. This was one of our few good days together as a family. There was another picture of my dad painting on his huge canvas with Markus holding the curtain away. I still dont know why I took this picture, but it's my second favorite photo.

"Detective Manfred, my office now." Captain Fowler commanded.

I headed toward his office and I heard Reed go "Ooooo someone's in trouble."

I rolled my eyes, I looked back at him, "What are you? Five?" I asked and went into the Captains office before Gavin could answer.

The Captain sat at his desk while I stood awkwardly, he went through some files on his desk, "Do you know why I called you in here, Detective?" He asked, not bothering to look up at me.

"No, sir." I said, my heart pounding. Is this because I threaten to throw my coffee on Reed? Because he was invading my personal bubble. I thought.

"Its because you are two hours late. This is the second time this has happened within the past week." Captain Fowler sighed and looked at me, "Is there anything wrong? I expect this behavior from the Lieutenant, but from you." He shook his head, "I'm giving you a warning, the next time it's a write up."

I smiled and nodded, "Thank you, sir. I'll make sure this won't happened again."

The Captain dismissed me after giving me some paperwork to do. I approached my desk, and collapsed in my chair. This is going to be a lot of work.

I was finishing the last of the paper work when I got a call. I looked at my phone, the caller i.d was Leo. What could he want now? I asked myself as I answered the phone.

"Leo, what is it?" I asked, annoyed at my brother for calling me.

"Its dad. I was apologizing to dad about earlier and Markus attacked me out of nowhere! It shocked dad so much that he had a heart attack." Leo said, panic in his voice.

"Wheres d-dad?" I asked, my voice cracked. I feared for the worst. I was determined not to cry in front of my coworkers.

"I'm in the ambulance with him, they're taking him to the Detroit hospital." He answered, his voice was full of fear and worry.

"I'm on my way," I said, grabbing my jacket that was slung over my chair. I put it on while still I'm the call with Leo. We weren't talking, we were just looking for comfort from one another.

"What happened to Markus?" I asked, sliding into a self-driving taxi.

"A cop shot him, they took him away." Leo said, his voice full of hatred toward the android.

I ended the phone call without saying goodbye to my brother. I didnt think Markus would do anything to hurt dad or anyone. I thought Markus was a great android and it would be alright if he deviated. I guessed I was wrong. I cried, putting my head in my hands.

The taxi finally reached the hospital. I waited impatiently as the taxi door slid open. I ran into the entrance of the hospital, where Leo was waiting for me.

"Where's dad?" I asked, my vision was blurry with tears as I looked at Leo.

"They had to put him in the I.C.U." Leo said, "They're not allowing visitors."

We sat on an uncomfortable couch in the waiting room. I leaned on Leo and he wrapped his armed around me, comforting me. Both our faces were stained with tear trails as we sat in silence awaiting the verdict.

Finally a nurse called us into a different room where we heard the news, "Mr. and Ms. Manfred, your father couldn't make it. He experienced too much heart trauma to survive. I am sure he loved you two very much. I'll leave you here to mourn, and if you wish, you may come into your father's room." The nurse explained, leaving us alone.

I sobbed into my hands while Leo hugged me. I could feel his tears hit my head.

"I didnt want this to happen." Leo whispered to himself.

"It wasn't your fault," I reassured him, placing a hand on his cheek, wiping his tears.

We stood in silence, not wanting to believe our dad was deceased. My phone rang. I looked at the caller i.d, it was Hank Anderson. I swallowed, and answered the phone. My brother looking worriedly at me.

"Hey, Lieutenant Anderson. What do you need?" I asked, hoping I didnt sound depressed over the phone.

"We need you at this fucking crime scene. I've sent you the location already. And (Y/n), I've already told you to call me Hank, I hate this Lieutenant bullshit." Hank explained and hung up.

"Leo, I have to go. Work is calling me." I said, hugging my brother.

"Goodbye, sis." He hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"I love you, Leo." I smiled at him

He gave me a weak smile, "I love you too."

I waved goodbye, and started toward the crime scene.
