Don't Touch Anything.

Aiden quickly caught Onyx up on everything that had happened earlier that day. "So, you're telling me that these two androids work for us?" The blonde asked. "They work with us, not for us," the black-haired male said. Onyx nodded and got out of the car. "You two stay here," Aiden said, getting out of the car. "Of course, detective," Ethan said. Aiden rolled his eyes and closed the car door.

Aiden walked to the run-down house. "Hey Aiden I wasn't expecting you to be here tonight," Rose said, looking up at the male. "I wasn't planning on it," he replied, patting the female's shoulder. "They're with us," Onyx said from behind the younger male. Rose stood up on her tiptoes and peaked over Aiden's shoulder to see who Onyx was talking about, and was surprised to see two androids.

"I thought I told you two to stay in the car," Aiden said, turning around to look at the two robots. "Your orders contradicted my other orders; I apologize, Detective," Ethan said to the black-haired male. Rose laughed and fixed her mask. "I see you got yourself an android," Rose said, leaning on Aiden. "More like it was assigned to me; besides, that one isn't even mine; the quiet one is mine," Aiden said, pointing at Boot.

The female nodded. "So did Onyx ask for his, or was his also assigned?" the pink-haired female asked. "Also assigned, but enough of that. Explain what happened here," Aiden said to the shorter girl.

The girl's face lit up like a kid on Christmas. " So, the victim's name was Kai Watson. He lived here with his father, Harry Watson, whose blood is also prominent at the crime scene. Kai is a fourteen-year-old male who went to Detroit Public High School. He had been missing for four days before his friends, Ember Anderson, William Smith, and Tobias Armstrong, came over to check on him and heard glass shattering and a loud bang before deciding to call the cops. They explained this to detective Davidson, who took them down to the station for further questioning," Rose stated as the group was led into the house. The two androids' LEDs turned yellow, then red, then back to green. Aiden smirked at the Androids, who seemed a bit confused by the female. "Keep going," Aiden said, putting on a face mask and gloves.

"Kai was found in his bedroom with sixteen stab wounds and his side deeply cut. We weren't sure if this was an android attack or just his father brutally attacking him. So I brought Captain in, who found traces of Thirium, or blue blood, on Kai's clothes and hands. But by doing more investigating in Kai's room, you will notice that Kai was really big on supporting Androids and how they should be treated equally," Rose said, handing her tablet to Aiden.

"You did good, kid," Onyx said, looking at the tablet next to Aiden. "Doctor Wright, they found Harry Watson's body," a Rt500 android said. "Excellent. Thank you, Captain. Lead the way," Rose said. The group followed the female android to another bedroom that smelled terrible. "He died three days ago, almost four days ago, due to choking on his own blood from his lung being full of it. He also has thirty-six stab wounds, most of them on his chest," Captain said to Rose. The pink-haired female nodded and took her tablet back from Aiden and input the new information. Rose crouching down lifted the shirt on the corpse to get a better look at the stab wounds. "Whoever was after him sure did overkill," the female murmured, dropping her shirt.

Aiden walked around the room as Onyx opened a window to air out the room a bit. The two male androids walked out of the bedroom and went to inspect the rest of the house for clues. "Is this written in Harry's blood?" Onyx asked. Aiden and Rose looked up at the wall, and written in something red was "He didn't deserve that." and "I am alive." "Uh, maybe. I can take some samples back to the lab to see," Rose said, standing up and dusting herself off. She grabbed a test tube from Captain and scraped off some of what was ever on the wall. "It also seems like we figured out what happened to Kai," Aiden said, looking at the wall. "What caused him to kill his own son like that? It's fucking sick," Rose said, taking pictures of everything.

"I mean, it looked like he was a party animal,' Onyx said, holding up a bag of red ice. "Of course it is that," Rose said, glaring at the drug. "Hand it to Captain. She'll put it in an evidence bag," Aiden said, looking over at the female android, who was already holding an evidence bag. Onyx dropped the tiny bag filled with the addictive drug, and Captain quickly closed the bag. She put the evidence bag in a sling bag that was on her person and waited for her next instruction. Rose was still walking around the room to see if she could spot anything. "Captain, scan the room for Thirium," Rose said, sighing. Captain quickly scanned the room. "There are some footsteps leading into and out of the room," Rt500 said. Rose nodded. "Let's follow them and see where they lead," Aiden said. "I'll have my team bag the bodies, and I'll be with you in a minute," Rose said. Onyx and Aiden nodded and followed Captain out of the room.

Rose waved over her team, and they started to bag the rest of the evidence they needed and then the bodies. She left her team after they were done and joined the partners and their androids. "We found the murder weapons, and it looks like there was a lot of struggling," Aiden said as Rose entered the room. She looked confused. "How was there struggling in here when Kai and Harry died in their bedrooms?" She asked, looking at the two males. "It seems like Harry Watson first attacked his son in the kitchen, then in the living room, before the young teen moved to his room and locked himself in there," Boot said, looking at the young female.

She noticed some blood on the ground near the knife and bent down to inspect it, but Ethan beat her to the punch and went to pick up the knife. "Don't touch anything; don't put anything in your mouth," she said, putting a hand on Ethan's shoulder. Aiden and Onyx sighed and pulled the two male androids away from the weapons as Rose and Captain did their jobs.
