Jack's Family? Part 2

When it did open it showed a woman not much younger than Jack and had hair that was twice the length. "Hello, I'm Lenn Shepard of the Normandy and this is my girlfriend Jack. We are looking for Kallen Walker, is she home?"

"Who's here Trish?" Came a voice and a woman appeared, she didn't look anything like Jack or Trish.

But Trish answered, "These are the people you were waiting for."

"Oh, please come in so we can talk."

"Thank you ma'am."

Before they went in Lenn was already trying to figure out who she was so she set her Omni-tool to scan her in thirty minutes, she grabbed Jack's hand and leaned to the side of her head so they couldn't see what she saying and whispered "That's not her."

Jack moved to the other side of her head and said "I know." They walked into the home and made their way to the living area, and sitting on the couches there.

"So, as I said to your daughter my name is Lenn Shepard of the Normandy, and this is Jack my girlfriend."

"Yes I received your message, are you sure about this?"

"I wouldn't have come if I wasn't sure." With that the impostor got up and walked over to Jack, bent down and examined her. I have to give her credit she is a really good actress but not good enough. Lenn thought to herself.

The woman spoke "You have my mother's eyes and your dad's rug of hair. Oh, Trish it is her. I would recognize her anywhere come and say hi to your sister." She flung her arms around Jack's neck and gave her a hug. Trish did the same thing as the woman only then, did Jack start to get misty-eyed. After talking for the half hour she had set her Omni-tool to scan she had noticed for the sixth time the woman had looked at the hall that led to Trish's and Kallen's bedrooms.

Then her Omni-tool did its scan. Putting on her stoic commander face she said "Sorry I forgot about that, my Omni-tool scans every thirty minutes for devices that are listening in on our conversation." She watched the woman for any reaction. "I'll turn it off until we leave." As she checked it she kept her face emotionless, looking up again she said "We're all good, but it seems my XO is trying to contact me I need to find out what is the matter, Jack you better come too."

"I know Miranda wouldn't call unless it was important, we'll be right back." Jack said as they got up to go to the kitchen. "Okay what's the plan, I definitely can tell she is not my mom. She is way too nervous and she is doing that shifty eye thing I use to do when I first got on the Normandy."

"Well I know you haven't mastered the Stasis move yet and I haven't even completely remastered the moves I know so I need you to tell Trish to come in here so I can find out where your mom is and where the necessary materials I need are located. While I am talking to her, you will wait for my signal to point your birthday gift at her head." A nod was her response.

"Hey Trish, can you come here for a moment?" Trish came in and Jack left to go sit where she was previously and began to talk to the impostor.

"What's up Lenn?"

"Trish, drop the act I know that woman isn't your mom, do you know where she is?"

"She is tied up in her bedroom, that woman got here an hour before you did. She said that she was here to get you and Jack for Cerberus."

"They must have had someone in place just in case Jack came looking for you guys. But they didn't realize that Jack and I have come a long way since the Collector mission ended. So, I know you are a biotic like your sister but she can't do the Stasis move that well, do you think you can hold her long enough for me to tie her down so we can get the both of you out of here?"

"I think I can, but not for long."

"Okay that's good. Where is your duct tape and do you have a rag to stuff in her mouth?" Trish nodded and went to one drawer and handed Lenn the roll of duct tape which she placed in the back of her pants, then Trish went to another and handed her the rag which she hid in a pocket. When she finished Lenn spoke "Okay wait for my signal. Don't worry about anything, Jack and I have been a team for a long time, we won't let you or your mom get hurt." Then Lenn pointed for Trish to go back to her seat. She opened her Omni-tool to send Jack a message.

Jack, your sister is going to do a stasis field on that woman then I am going to tape her arms and legs together and gag her be ready. Once I'm done I will take Trish back to her and your mom's rooms, get your mom, and have them grab some clothes and heirlooms since their not coming back here and we are going to take them and the impostor back to the Normandy. She sent the message, and called for the shuttle so it could be waiting for them in the front of the house, and she walked back into living room. "Is everything alright?" the woman asked.

"Yes it soon will be, Trish if you would be so kind." Trish began to glow and, as soon as, the woman was trapped Lenn ran over and started to tape the woman's legs and arms together and shoved the rag into her mouth, Jack walked over and did her thing, which was to scare the living piss out of people. Lenn said "I have given her permission to end you if you move. You picked the wrong family to mess with, so just sit tight." Then she signaled Trish to show her where her mom was. They finally came to the door that led to Kallen's room, when they entered they found Kallen all tied up on her bed.

"Mom, are you ok?" Trish asked as she rushed over to her mother's side, pulling the cloth out of mouth.

"Yes I am fine. Are you Lenn, where is my little Jackie?"

"Yes I am Lenn and she's in the living room, doing what she does best. Now I need you two to grab some clothes and whatever is important to you, make sure it is absolutely necessary because the shuttle is small." As she cut Kallen's bonds and they went to work grabbing clothes, family heirlooms, a few pictures, and a small book that looked like a photo album. Once they were finished Lenn guided them back to the living room. "Okay everyone is ready, I'll grab her. Let's go home Jack."

"Lenn, do you think we should knock her out?"

"Yeah good idea go ahead, it will let us get to the shuttle faster. You take your family to the shuttle." Then Jack struck the woman in the head with the butt of her gun. Lenn slung her over her shoulder and motioned for Jack to take the lead as she guided them to the waiting shuttle outside.
