Disclosure: This is something I've had in the works since I joined the fandom. I have huge fascination with vampires and the amount of Vampiric like references I got from the game(strength, speed, Markus drinking Thirium that was from a shut down android, ECT.) It got me thinking. Why not do a fic where it's Detroit become human, but instead of androids, it's vampires. I don't want to say anything else cause it'll spoil what I have in mind, but yeah enjoy! :)

"Negotiator in sight, I repeat, negotiator on sight."
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
"Captain Allen Wilson. My name is Connor. I was sent by the Detroit Investigation Unit to assist with the case." Wilson sighed. "He'll shoot at anyone who tries to stay outside to negotiate." Connor look around before placing his attention back to Captain Wilson.
"Do we know about his emotional behavior?" Connor started. "what do we know about his occupation and his relationship with the hostage and his or her family?" The swat captain sighed and shook his head before turning around and facing Connor. "Listen," Wilson started. "we don't know anything about his life or the hostage, nor do I care. Either you can take of him and hostage or I will." Connor didn't say a word and waited for the Captain to turn back around. Connor would begin to look around the crime scene. He'd walk straight only to go into what he seemed to be the child's room. As he entered the room he saw a desk with an unlocked tablet.
Connor picked up the tablet that belonged to the girl, the hostage. He'd see that there was a video open. He'd hit play.
"This is Daniel! The best nanny in the world! Say hi Daniel!"
"Hello!"
The video would end. "Daniel.." Connor would say to himself. As he began to examine for of the room, the faint sound of music would fill his ears. He would look down to find a pair of headphones with music blaring from it. "The child couldn't hear the gunshots..." He noted softly out loud.
Connor would leave the bedroom and would go into the living only to be met with what was the body that belonged to the father of the hostage.
"John Phillips." Said an officer, who stood a few feet away from where Connor crouched to examine the body. "He's been shot 3 times." Said Connor. Connor squinted his eyes, finding an unnerving discovery. "Theres a bite wound, it looks as if his throat was almost ripped out." Connor said before standing. "There's this new drug called Midnight." "Midnight?" Asked Connor. "Apparently it grants you immortality, at least that's what they say and think it does." Said the officer. "They take it like heroine. They shoot it into their veins thinking they'll get a high out of it, only to wake up days later, almost like a monster."
Connor looked to the balcony before hearing a man yelling, telling people to stay back. As Connor began walking to the balcony, he noticed a body fi an officer. Antony Deckart is shown on the officer's name tag on his vest.
Blam!
"Stay back! Don't come any closer or I'll jump!"
Connor looked up passed the gap if the curtains, only to see who might be Daniel. He was holding the little girl in his arms, standing on the edge of the building.
Connor would look down and would the gun if the deceased officer. He would grab the gun, sliding it into his holster.
Connor stood up and began to walk to the balcony. As soon as he touched the curtains, Daniel shot at Connor's shoulder. "Stay back! I'll jump if you come any closer!" Yelled out Daniel. Connor took a step through the curtains and was now on the balcony.
"Hello, Daniel! My name is Connor!" I'm not here to hurt you! I only was to help!" Connor said as loud as he could over the helicopter. "Don't shoot! I need you to trust and put the girl down!" Demanded Connor. "I'll jump if you try anything, I'll jump off this building, and I'll take her with me!" Daniel threatened, before holding the girl off the building before bringing her back and placing the gun back to her head.
Connor began to take a few steps forward and moved a chair out of his way. When he moved the chair he'd see a wounded officer. "Look at what your doing! These people have lives and families to go home to!" Connor would point to the wounded officer. "He's going to die if I don't place pressure on his wound! I'm going to place a tourniquet!" Connor would crouch and go to examine the officer, only for Daniel to shoot on the ground, barely grazing Connor's hand. "Don't touch him! You doing anything, and I'll kill you!"
Connor ignored Daniel and placed the tourniquet with his tie. Connor would then stand and take a step closer to Daniel and the hostage. "Just let the girl go, and I promise you, they won't hurt you." Connor said as he continued taking steps forward. Daniel would go to speak only to groan loudly and wave his gun around. "I can't take it that sound anymore! Make them go away!!" Demanded Daniel. Connor waved his hand, stating that the scene was under control. The helicopter then went away.
"Do you have a gun?" Asked Daniel. "I don't have a gun, you can trust me!" Connor lied. "You have to let her go, it's for your own good!" "What good do I have!" Yelled Daniel. "They lied to me, told me I was family! They tried to replace me by telling me the contract ran out!" Connor took a few more steps forward. "Don't come no closer! I only draw the cards! I chose how I can be free!" Daniel said.
The girl's scream echoed through the building, Connor failing to grab the girl in time, watching off the side of the building as the two fell to their deaths.
SCREEEEEEeeee-!
Connor hunched over and covered his ears at the screeching alarm went off. He ran inside to find out what caused only to be launched hitting his head as he hit the ground.
Crackle...crackle, crackle. Pop!
....thud..
Connor opened his eyes, only to be met with a fiery aftermath. Connor struggled to stand, but managed. Connor looked around hoping to find other survivors burning in the debris, him being the only one sickened him. Connor struggled to walk as his head was swimmy after the fall. As he finally found the fire exit, part of the ceiling landed on Connor, trapping his legs.
Connor cried out, begging for help from anybody, hoping at least a singular soul could hear him. After merely seconds, Connor would black out from the burning pain that engulfed his body.

"This was the only body we could recover. Connor Arkay. Detective at the Detroit Police department, 28 years old, 75kg, 165 pounds."
A man would flick a syringe full of red liquid before inserting a needle into the vein of Connor's arm.
"Ready?"
"If this saved Chloe and showed me that immortality is real, then you know, I'm ready."
Said a voice before injecting the liquid into Connor's vein. His burns and gashes would soon vanish and heal within minutes, revealing healthy skin underneath. A blanket would be placed on top his body.
"How many days before he wakes up?"
"They usually wake up after two or three days. If they don't wake up after three days, it didn't work. Though, that's never happened."
The three voices that filled the room could be heard walking away.
__November 9th, 2038 // 9:27 pm__
Plink. Plink.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
Eyes scanned the room looking for a familiar for a certain case.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
"Lieutenant Anderson. There was a case reported three hours ago, you're needed on the scene. You're lucky I found you at the fifth bar."
