Garrus managed to reach to enter an overhang the keeper's usual use to travel all around the wards without being disturbed in order to get a good view of the black markets which is an earshot away from them as well.
A messege appeared on his omni-tool
"Garrus, Lynch. Aneola found out our target re-opened his clinic the other day, will stand by here to see if we find anything good. Best case if he's up to something will get em in the act, keep you posted."
"Understood, if I find anything here I'll let you know." He replied in a modest whisper
Garrus closed it out and began scanning around for organ deals.
He spotted two krogans talking to a hanar shop keeper who lead them into another room behind the general shops. Garrus followed over head, figuring it could lead to something. He reached them in the middle of discussing inventory.
"Yeah, but do you have any krogan genitalia?
"This one can acquire any item you desire."
"How long is this ganna take for two pair?" The other krogan spoke up, sounding impatient.
"This one should be able to acquire the requested item in no longer than two solar days, and for your valued partnership this one will through in a human one at no extra charge."
The two krogans laughed.
"Those pathetic things, it's a wonder how humans can reproduce with those."
"Hey let's just take it with us so we have something to laugh about." The other replied.
"Heh, alright here's half the payment." The other krogan paid the hanar.
"Come on lets go find a snack, I'm dying for a fish." The two headed out.
Dam nothing. Garrus thought, he headed back to try another location, this spot was alittle further away towards the hangers.
He saw a turian guns trader arguing with a salarian.
"For the last time I don't know what the hell you're talking about I just trade weapons, now unless you're going to buy or exchange me something get the hell out of here." The turian was getting furious.
"Come'on I need the money, you gatta know where the organ growing's happening everyone in the black market's selling it now."
"I don't get involved in that sick crap, now get out of here." He waived the salarian off.
"Come'on I'm desperate."
Another turian came from behind the counter and smacked the salarian across the face with the butt of his assault weapon.
"Get the fuck out of here sicko." He said with a threat.
The salarian whimpered off heading out of the markets, Garrus followed closely.
He has to know something…
The salarian was wiping the blood off his face caused from the smack as Garrus jumped down in front of him blocking his path, he was frightened by the sudden appearance.
"Please I.."
"It's ok, C-Sec officer Vakarian, I have a couple questions in regards to a case I'm investigating." Garrus cut him off.
"W-what?"
"I heard what you asked that arms dealer, I want to know who you were referring too."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Garrus stepped closer towards the salarian who slowly retreated in response.
"Listen I understand you need credits but whatever you were trying to do back there isn't the way to do it, is money really worth risking your own life for?"
The salarian thought for a minute, his expression turned to defeat.
"I guess not…"
Garrus turned on his recorder on his omni-tool.
"So, tell me about this "organ growth""
"There's a Dr, I don't know his name that's what I was trying to find out who clones organs inside you for a modest amount of cash."
Garrus was taking back a tad.
"What?"
"By cloning inside a living person they grow much faster than they would in a lab, at least so I've heard, then he harvests them and sells the organs for market purchase."
"That's completely insanse." Garrus was appalled by the information.
"Hey for us that need credits…its worth the risk."
Garrus just shook his head before handing over information to the salarian.
"Here, it's a pilot program to help those in need get where they need to be, credits are never worth that kind of risk, I suggest you enroll it can help you." Garrus said with reassurance.
"Thanks.." The salarian replied before heading out.
Garrus watched him walk over before contacting his partners.
"Lynch I got something here, you copy?"
"Us to, think you'd want to check this out meet us back at your office." Lynch replied.
Garrus reached his office to find Lynch standing outside.
"He's cloning organs inside people to sell for money, the bastered." Garrus said to Lynch with a hint of anger.
"We can skip formalities then, Aneola found a "patient" he's helping her with some medigel shes hurting badly."
Aneola, a salarian senior officer was finishing up with the female human who had a large scar cleared caused from surgical tools going up the left side of her abdomen.
"The gel can only help the pain for a bit, will need to take you to the medical wards."
Garrus walked in noticing the large scar.
"She came out of the clinic visibly upset, we confronted her and she ended up telling us everything." Aneola said in response to Garru's entrance.
"That bastered…" She said holding back tears.
Garrus got down to her level speaking softly and calm.
"Who's the bastered?"
"Saleon.." she cringed. "He promised me money…hey said no matter what he'd give me credits.."
I knew it was you, you scum.
"Money for what?"
"He promised if I grew him a turian heart he'd give me a thousand credits." She cringed harder.
"But he's saying it didn't grow properly, and not only is he not paying me he's refusing to take it out of me." She started holding her side.
Son of a bitch
"Take her to the medical bay, the dam things killing her." Garrus said to Aneola who agreed.
Garrus followed both of them out but stopped at Lynch, the two watched their other partner escort her with another C-Sec officer out towards the medical wards.
"This ends today, we can't wait while those like her are put through hell over these radical experiments for credits." Garrus proclaimed.
Lynch cocked his gun.
"Right behind you."
The two headed towards the clinic.
When they reached the clinic the pulled out there rifles and prepared to attack from the front. Garrus clicked his omni-tool.
"I'll send out a message for back up to take up the rear while we flank him out the back."
"Hopefully we catch him off guard." Lynch replied.
Garrus nodded then prepared to take the door. He rushed in with Lynch behind him.
The busted into the back of the clinic where it appeared Saleon was about to prep another victim for harvest.
"C-Sec don't move!" Garrus shouted.
"Hands where we can see them easy now!" Lynch followed up.
Saleon was clearly startled but quickly grabbed the human victim as hostage pulling out a pistol and holding it to her head.
"Now we don't want anything rash to happen." Saleon said sinisterly.
"The games over Dr. let the man go you have no place to go, you're under arrest." Garrus proclaimed.
"Come take me then." Saleon quickly headed out the back, hostage in hand. They both sprinted after him.
Saleon jumped into a small hidden elevator and headed down towards the hangers.
"Load the ship, we've been spotted." He ordered via headphones.
Garrus and Lynch got there just as the elevator was descending. Lynch tried to override it to send it back up.
"Its jammed!"
"Dammit, look where he's headed!." Garrus shouted while pointing town towards the hangers where the elevator was heading.
Mercs were loading a medium sized transport frigate with human hostages at gun point.
"They're going to continue operations elsewhere we have to stop em!" Garrus said.
"We won't make it down in time to stop him." Lynch brought up.
"Then will have to have to defense turrets shoot em down come on."
Garrus and Lynch rushed towards the citadels defense systems, at the same time Garrus transmitted the situation to the rest of C-Sec while ordering defense personal to stand by.
Pallin heard, and began to make his way to the firing room.
"Dammit Garrus…" he said to himself.
As Garrus and Lynch reached the defensive systems, Saleon had begun his departure.
"He's getting away, lock on to that ship and fire on my order." Garrus said to the gunny.
At that moment Pallin entered with Chellick.
"Negative, cancel that command, Garrus stand down."
"But sir.."
Pallin interrupted him, "They have innocent hostages on that ship, and I'm not risking their lives to capture one man."
"And do you know what he's going to do with those hostages if we just let him go?"
"That's an order Garrus if you say something again I'll have you suspended without pay."
Garrus looked at Pallin furiously for a moment before watching as Saleon quickly escaped the turret range.
"Will alert all military personnel in citadel space to be on guard." Chellick proclaimed.
"He'll be out of their reach by then…" Garrus said before storming out.
"I expect to see you in my office Garrus." Pallin said sternly as he walked passed him.
Garrus stopped for moment before heading back to his C-Sec to wait for Pallin. He knew he was going to get chewed out for this but he didn't care, it wasn't about him, it was about those people.
I failed.
