[Uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, it says.

Car tires stutter in their tracks, stopping barely a handful of inches outside of the parking space; they’re not in the precinct building anymore, there aren't witnesses around to stop him when Gavin rushes for the gun at his hip, unlatching it and aiming it directly at the android’s face.

(He still remembers cold hands on his shoulders before he’d blacked out in the evidence room, and it’s enough that he’s as hateful as he is wary.)

He doesn’t pull the trigger. Not because he’s exercising restraint in the privacy of his own squad car, where he could dump this tin can’s body out, wash the seats and claim the thing went defective. But because he’s afraid of what will happen in the fraction of a second before he squeezes out a shot.

Fuck, his shoulder still hurts.

'Harmonious' means you obey. But you don’t— listen. [The whole damn country’s still pulling back from machines not yielding to their owners, and this is what the DPD thinks they need?]
