Bill saw two Krogan outside the warehouse when it came into view.

"Hope you're not afraid of Krogan." The woman said over her shoulder. "Let me do the talking."

Having faced them many times in the past, Bill knew how strong and how dangerous a Krogan could be. He wasn't afraid of taking one on if an assignment called for it, but he did respect their power.

"Hey Krhon!" The woman called. "Long time no see!"

The larger of the two Krogan, though no Krogan could be considered small, looked up.

"My favorite human!" He yelled back in a deep throaty voice. "What can I do for you?"

"Who's this whelp?" he asked as the two humans approached.

"Friend of mine." She answered. "He wants a job so I'm taking him to see Mundin."

"Bill Knight." Bill said, nodding at the Krhon.

"I killed a Bill once." It answered. "Looked kinda like you. Go on ahead."

"Sounds suspicious." The other Krogan murmured as Bill and Xianna walked inside. He heard Krhon tell him to shut up and a thud as Krhon presumably head-butted the smaller Krogan.

Inside, the two walked through twisting hallways and passed huge loading and storing rooms until they finally came to a door on the right side of one of the hallways with a Turian standing outside. Xianna nudged her head in the other direction at him and the Avian-esque alien nodded and walked away.

"This is it," Xianna said, turning to face Bill. "You ready? I'll talk first and you can come in behind me."

"Deal." Bill said, cracking his neck."

Xianna opened the door to Mundin's office and Bill crouched behind her so he couldn't be seen. Mundin looked just like any other Volus Bill had seen-fat, round, small.

"Xianna." He said, looking up at her. "I've already paid you for your most recent job. Why are you back? Are you here for that...other...offer I gave you?"

"You know, a Volus really shouldn't try to be seductive." Bill said, stepping out from behind Xianna.

"Wh...Who are you?" The Volus stuttered, sounding nervous.

"Name's Bill. Because of you, I lost my contract on the Turian who was murdered today. I'm here to take what you owe me."

"Maelek! Maelek!" Mundin shouted.

"Maelek's gone." Xianna told him with a smile. "He never really liked you that well. You should...or...should've treated your staff better."

"Please!" He yelled, "please! I have credits! Lots of credits!"

"Oh I know." Bill answered, cracking his knuckles. "I plan to take those too."

Xianna used what most people refer to as a biotic "lift" to take Mundin off the ground and hang him helplessly while Bill pulled out a pistol.

"No! No!" Mundin begged. Bill pulled the trigger and shot the Volus's breathing apparatus. Mundin started choking and Xianna threw him down. As he lay on the floor, struggling to crawl away, Bill walked over and shot him three times in the head.

"He'll have a wall vault somewhere in here," Xianna mentioned. "Somewhere to keep his credits."

"Got it." Bill said and started searching the wall. He came across a painting of orange-gold landscapes, which Bill assumed was painted on the planet Irune, though he had never been to the planet himself. Running his fingers along the sides of it, Bill realized it was a concealed door. Activating his omni-tool, he scanned it and came up with the correct passkey to open it.

"You might wanna hurry up." Xianna called to him from her position by the door. "Guards will have heard your gunshots and are probably on their way."

"Will do." Bill said and quickly swept his omni-tool along the credit chips, storing them all in a temporary bank account.

Bill walked back to Xianna who was standing with the door partially opened so she could look out.

"The two Krogan from earlier, plus three human guards are coming down the hall toward is." She told him. "I can take Krhon. He won't expect me to attack him. You"

Bill looked down at his belt. "I have two drones I can throw out. Plus I can incinerate with my omni-tool."

"Alright. I'll rush out and take Krhon. You throw out your drone and then start firing at the other Krogan. On my go. One...two...go!"

Xianna slid the door all the way open and then charged out. She hit Krhon with a biotic "warp" while Bill rolled out behind her, threw out a drone behind the human rear guards, and then fired an incinerating blast from his omni-tool. The drone took off and started attacking the people from behind, while the incinerate hit the Krogan. Xianna had pulled out an SMG and shot Krhon in the throat after her warp had taken out his barriers. He fell down on top of the second Krogan and pinned him to the floor. As Bill's drone took out the last human and dissipated, Bill walked over to the trapped Krogan and shot it in the throat.

"C'mon, this way!" Xianna yelled, already running the opposite way.

Bill followed quickly, and when he caught up he asked her where they were going.

"There are some loading docks down here." She said. "We can make it out through one of those. Here."

They turned into one of the huge loading docks and suddenly faced a line of guards, human and Turian. A heavy mech stood behind them on the left side.

"What now?" Bill whispered to her.

"Um..." she started. "Do you have any drones left?"

"One." he answered.

"Let's hope it's enough. Are you ready?" She looked at him.

"Let's go." He shot back.

The resulting battle was intense. She moved almost like a dancer, blocking their shots with biotic stasis fields. He would send incinerating shots at guards after over loading their shields. After the mech almost took them out he used his omni-tool to sabotage its targeting. Most of the remaining guards fled as the mech slowly chased them.

Back on the street, Bill and Xianna stood hunched over catching their breath.

"That was...pretty incredible." Bill told her. "You're an amazing biotic."

"Thanks." She answered. "You're not too bad with your omni-tool either."

She paused and looked out toward the dark artificial Citadel sky. "Well," she started. "I'm going to get going. I've got some...things I need to take care of. I assume you know your way home?"

"Yeah." He answered. "Thank you for helping me get even. Can...will I see you again sometime? We made a damn good team."

She smiled at him.

"Maybe sometime. If I need help taking down anyone else."

She started jogging toward a building across the street and used biotics to propel herself onto its roof. Bill shook his head and started strolling back to his apartment quite a bit more wealthy than he had been previously.
