Gavin looked up at the android, noticing her barely noticeable tense posture at the mention of Amanda.

"But, how could she possibly still be? Wasn't she supposed to be gone with the revolution?" Her voice becoming more and more frantic. Before she even started pacing, Gavin grabbed a hold of her narrow shoulders.

"Chloe, calm down before you fucking shut down" He said, trying to calm her down. "Breathe, stay with me." Gavin slowly released his hold on her, maintaining eye contact. "She won't be as big a problem she was in the revolution."

"What will you do, Gavin?"

He paused and started strategizing.

'Amanda and Elijah used to be so close, especially since he decided to keep her alive inside the Cyberlife profiles. But after the revolution, Elijah seems to have accepted her "death."

But if, no, considering the fact that she's alive, how will Elijah react to the damage?'

"We need to tell Elijah."

"We?"

"Chloe, you're the only other android that could convince Elijah. If he doesn't listen to me, he may listen to you."reached and

Chloe's LED flashed yellow with a hint of red. But simply nodded her head in agreement once it was back to blue. Though Elijah probably wouldn't take it too well.

As expected, Elijah isn't believing what he was hearing.

"There is no way she could still be alive. Once the emergency exit is activated and completed she's gone" He said.

"It's true, you have to believe me. It's the only thing that makes sense."

"Clearly I did something wrong with your programming."

"THIS ISN'T MY FUCKING PROGRAMMING SPEAKING YOU ASS!!" Gavin yelled, his stress level increasing to 89%. Gavin was more than just a programmed robot, he obviously had a personality of his own. But all Kamski would do is blame it all on the stupid 'programming!'

Chloe immediately came to Gavins side. Placing her hand gently on his shoulder as she stood in front of him. "Kamski, you really should listen to Gavin. He hasn't failed you before, so why doubt him now?"

"Then tell me, how is it I had a way for her to be programmed out of something I created?"

"Maybe you allowed something to get out of hand."

Gavin felt his stress decrease while watching Elijah slowly come to his senses. The only thing keeping him on edge was what will Elijah's solution be. Elijah turned away and walked towards the window, looking at the city, thinking.

That was their cue to leave him.

Outside the room Gavin turned to Chloe.

"Thank you Chloe, I almost lost my shit." Gavin rubbed his temples, trying to calm himself even more.

"Of course Gavin. We're family, aren't we?" Chloe went in to hug Gavin, who immediately accepted. It is true, they basically are family. No, not basically. They truly are.

"Damn right we are. And we'll get to the bottom of this issue."

"Together."

Later the next day with the Andersons, Connor was washing the dishes while Hank was still in bed. It was their day off so Hank wanted to catch up on sleep. Connor on the other hand, had something else in mind.

Connor put the last dish in the cupboard before heading towards the door. Before he could even reach for the door, Sumo stood in his way, whimpering.

"Oh Sumo, I'll be back by tonight." Leaning down, he pet Sumo, before giving him a hug. "Hopefully."

With one final whimper, Sumo shuffled out of Connors way and down the hall to Hanks room. Connor, as quiet as he possibly could, exited the house. Once the door was shut, he began running towards the Cyberlife building. Ever since the revolution, it's been abandoned, but all the information is still there. Why they never took it out, Connor couldn't say, but they just might have the answer to the questions he has.

Many people and androids noticed him giving him questionable looks, but he couldn't care less. He needed answers.

Once reaching the building, he could tell that the systems still work. Upon entering the elevator, he headed for the 47th floor. That's where all the files on previous androids were. He needed to know if his speculations may be correct. I mean, after what the fake him said...

'You've been programmed well...'

How could Connor not speculate anything?

That question pondered his mind, before he even realized he was already going through the files.

"2022, 2021, 2020, 2019. Nothing!" Connor yelled, completely aware that no one was around to hear him, at least that he knew. "How early do I have to go?"

Then a thought came to him. He ran to the oldest looking files cabinet, and began searching there.

"2005, 2004, 2003.... 2002, There!" Connor immediately grabbed the only file in that section, and opened it.

Android cloning subject. October 7th, 2002. Successful.

Name given; Gavin Reed

Sex; Male

And the rest of the information, Connor didn't need to realize what he suspected was true.

Gavin Reed, is an android.

"Took you long enough to come back Connor."

No, it couldn't be. Connor turned around, but no one was there... Wait a minute.

Connors eyes were forced closed, and he was back at a familiar scene. But the only thing captivating his vision right now, was Amanda.

"Long time no see Connor, I hope you aren't damaged."

"How... How did you..?"

"Use your words Connor, I know you're really good with your mouth, with the way you treated that older android."

Alright, That was none of Amanda's business. How did she even come back? What does she want?

"Oh Connor, my sweet boy. You really need to learn to speak aloud. I can hear everything you think."

"So let me guess Amanda, you knew when I was lying?"

"Always Connor. I also know how you feel about Mr. Reed, if that one night is anything to go by."

"Did you even know he was an android?" Connor asked, completely ignoring Amanda's comment on his night with Gavin.

"Of course I did, I was the one who helped design him back when his brother Elijah was still in college. Well, technically they're not biologically related anymore."

Connor didn't know how to respond.

"Now, where were we before you ruined my plan?"

Shit, not again.
