Chapter 7~To Think and To Dream
Selena was sitting at her desk when there was a knock at her door. "Come in."
The door opened with a soft 'whoosh'. "Anderson?"
She stood and saluted. "At ease. I need to talk to you."
She nodded. "Okay." She simply said. She always got nervous when he came to her privately to talk. She had etiher done something wrong,they were going to go on a private mission or there was just something wrong in general.
"Its about your family." Selena plopped down into the seat. She was speechless. "You never met your Father. We've found him." Selena had nothing to say,what was she supposed to say? She couldn't believe that after all this time of thinking he was dead...he was really alive. Did she really want to know him? Maybe he was worse than her mother had been. Part of her said yes and the other said no. She was confused,shocked,terrified,happy...but she didn't know what emotion to believe.
"He's on the Citadel. Hes in one of the apartments above the Presidium. We think he's been looking for you."
She and Garrus were going to be going to the Presidium tonight. She had no time to see her Father,she wasn't sure she even wanted to. She was not going to pass up time with Garrus before she had to leave tomorrow for BAaT. There was no way. She finally found her voice. "I'm going to be meeting with a...special friend tonight. I can't miss seeing them before I leave tomorrow. I'll have no time to see him tonight."
Anderson nodded. "I understand. I'm just warning you,we don't know his reason for looking for you. Just because he is doesn't mean he just wants to talk. You never met him,you don't know what hes like."
"Thanks." Was all she said before she turned her chair around. She heard her door open and close,she was alone. She kind of felt bad for being rude like that but she needed to think. It was hard to take all that in within a matter of minutes. She felt like her brain was going to explode,she needed to sleep but she knew she couldn't. To take her mind off of things she started looking through a book that Anderson had given her when she first arrived. Because she was such a brat when she got here she didn't think anything of it. She thought it was just some stupid book but now that she was older and should she say wiser,she cherished it. Not only did it come from one of her favorite people,it was something you rarely saw. An actual book,no one used paper anymore. It was Omni-Tools,Data Pads,Terminals...it was all technology. She flipped the book around to its cover. "Undying Love" had apparently been his girlfriends but she didn't read it anymore so he gave it to her. It was about a wealthy man and a poor woman,they were so mismatched but they loved each other. They eventually got married against the will of their parents. The rest was history. She had read part of it but got bored,she really needed to just sit and read. Just then her Omni-Tool went off alerting her of the time. Crap she had lost track of time it was 5:50,there was no way she could get ready and be there in time. She hurriedly threw a pair of jeans and a tee on and fixed her hair. She ran out the door.
She sent a message to Garrus on the way,letting him know that she was coming but she was coming a little late. She kept on running...and running and then BAM!...right into someone. She had a feeling she knew who it was. Sure enough she looked down to see a blue and black armored Turian. His blue facial markings brightning in the sunlight. "How do we manage to do that?" She asked,her tone filled with amusment. "I'm still not sure." He took her hand but this time continued to hold it. "Now we can go together." They started ont their way hand in hand. This was going to be a good night.
