Well that's enough of an authors note on with chapter 1.
Citadel Drazir Ward 2182 main hanger bay
Two C-Sec officers set on a bench and as 1 of them took a cigarette the other officer asked "What is that?". the other man merely replied "Its nothing"
And as he lit the cigarette his partner asked "Does your wife know this John?". John looked at his partner and said "I'm the man of my own house Kalo, I don't hide things from my wife".
Kalo smirked and said reassuringly "Don't worry I wont tell Sara". John breathed a sign of relief and said "Thanks man I appreciate it".
Kalo then took out a toothpick from his pocket and offered it to John as he said "Look smoking is not the problem John, its your oral fixation your mouth just needs something to suck on, so try this, I read it works in a magazine".
John looked at him curiously and asked "What kind of magazines have you been reading?". Kalo laughed at this and John said "A man has to have something of his own right man".
Kalo then said seriously "How many shooters do you count?". As gunfire was heard John answered "At least 5 maybe 7 of them". Kalo only replied "Do you want to go and take a look John?".
John looked at the ground and said "Someone tipped them off and all I know for sure is that we have lost 3 wholes fucking years of work on this case". More gunfire was heard and John sighed as he said "As long as it's a look. On three".
As John got his Hydra shotgun and Kalo took out a Kessler pistol he said "Three". With that both men emerged from their hiding spot and moved forward as they saw the hanger was ablaze and littered with dead bodies of members of The Blue Suns mercenary gang.
The two officers got into cover a Eclipse merc opened fire John took him out with his shotgun and Kalo moved up and saw more dead Blue Suns. As both men took cover behind a large crate John noticed something on the ground and as he picked it up he saw it was a titanium shell and muttered to himself "Son of a bitch".
More gunfire was heard close by and before John could stop him Kalo moved up and John whispered "Kalo wait! Backups on the way". But Kalo didn't stop and as he saw a man in a leather jacket stab a Blue Sun through the chest with a sword Kalo yelled out "C-Sec freeze!".
As John went after 2 Eclipse members appeared from behind cover and opened fire with Tsunami assault rifles and John waited till the guns over heated before he opened fire with his shotgun and killed both of them as ran to catch up to Kalo who had no idea just who he was going after.
Kalo ducked as an Eclipse member fired with a pistol and Kalo killed him with 1 shot the throat as he saw the man he was after kill another Blue Sun with an execution style shot to the head with a Brawler pistol. As 2 more Eclipse members with heavy pistols arrived on the scene Kalo lost sight of his target and took out both enemies with quick shots to the chest and head.
John ran to the edge of the hanger right near the Presidium lake and as he looked around for the man he was looking for, he was shot in the shoulder from behind and as he fell to the ground he saw the man was in front of him with a pistol aimed at his head and just as the man was about to open fire John heard Kalo yell out "No!".
Kalo quickly opened fire on the man and kept firing until his gun overheated and the man fell into the presidium lake. Kalo immediately ran over to John and helped him up and John said "I'm alright Kalo, did you get him?".
Kalo nodded and John asked "Are you sure you got him Kalo?". Kalo answered "I got him, I saw him take a shot to the face, he's dead John. Relax alright".
John only said "Half the morgues in the Terminus Systems are full of people who thought they got rid of that man, once and for all, but sadly for them, they failed".
Kalo looked at John in confusion as he asked "What are you talking about John, you know this guy or something?".
John looked at all the bodies as he said "There's talk in the underworld that the Eclipse have hired a independent contractor to help them deal with the Blue Suns and Blood Pack, I heard he is 1 of the best, the same guy the Systems Alliance used on Kazito that time".
Kalo then asked "The same Alliance operative who turned on them and killed 7 N7 soldiers?". John answered "I heard it was 9 and that he was working for Cerberus as a hitman". Kalo only said "That's a bull story John and you know it, Rogue is a myth, just our old boss Pallin messing with us?".
John then showed Kalo the titanium shell and continued "Titanium shells are his signature, as is a katana sword and some of these merc's were killed by a katana sword".
Kalo and John then heard sirens which meant C-Sec officers were on the way and Kalo asked "You really think Rogue was working for the Eclipse?. You just said that he works for Cerberus and they are pro-human terrorists".
John shrugged and said "That Kalo is 1 of the major problems working organised crime isn't it, we never really know who is working for who".
With that both men left the hanger as C-Sec officers secured the area.
Well that's chapter 1 completed please let me know what you all think of it read and review no flames though ok.
