When the Commander and her crew reached the second floor, they did not find what they expected. Hope left the commander at they sight they found. The second floor was empty, although there was paper scattered on the floor, with chairs and a table turned over.
"What the hell!" Ashely shouted.
"Check the closet and if there is any data left here!" Shepard order her crew.
The crew spread out, Ashley and Wrex ran towards the closet, while the rest searched the room. "Clear!" Wrex shouted. "Just a regular closet Commander." Shepard was searching the far side of the room for any trace of evidence. After searching the floor and finding nothing the Commander rummaged through a set of abandoned drawers. The second draw down, she saw another scrunched up note familiar to the one found before. Shepard quickly read the note to her self 'I see you remember my old hideout Shepard. I expected you to lose your temper and come storming in here. I thought you would've understood from my email. You are following my instructions. Meet me at 234 street, New York. Come alone or you'll never see your bond mate and unborn child again.' Shepard felt as if she was going to scream, hastily putting the note into her pocket, so her crew could not see, she turned towards your team mates. "Alright guys, listen up. I don't think there's any evidence here, so we should head back to the Normandy and think of a new plan."
Tali looked at Garrus, who could also tell that the Commander felt helpless because the two shared a look of recognition.
"Alright commander, we should do some research to find where this bastard is hiding." Miranda replied.
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking." Shepard hates lying to the people she trusts most but she has to do this; she needs her family back.

The shuttle back to the Normandy was quiet, nobody was talking except EDI who informed Joker that we were 5minutes out. Shepard was thinking of her next move. 'Should I bring a weapon? He may see it as a threat. No. No, I'm just going to take my pistol. He know's that's as a precaution right? I don't want him hurting Liara or my daughter because of it. No, no. I'm going to take it. How am I going to slip away from my crew?' Shepard thought as she looked around at her also quiet crew. 'I'll just slip away, I'll make out that I'm going to the range to lose some steam. Yeah that's good. They won't think of anything, if I say that.' The shuttle arrived at the Normandy, Shepard and her squad mates exited the shuttle and headed over to the armoury to take of their gear. It only took 2 minutes for the Commander to take of her armour and head for the elevator. Miranda, Tali, Garrus and Ashley quickly chased after her before she entered the elevator. They new she was hurting but didn't know how to console their friend.

The elevator ride to the CIC was also quiet, the only sound heard was Garrus coughing trying to ease the tension. "Shepard? What are we gonna do?" Finally Miranda had the courage to ask her upset and hurting Commander. "I'm leaving Ashley in charge. I'm heading of the ship for a bit, I'm going to the range to relieve some stress." The Commander walked away towards Joker to inform him that she was leaving ship, while her four friends looked at each other. "Something's up." Garrus stated. "She wouldn't leave now, when she should be thinking of a plan to rescue Liara."
"I agree" Miranda nodded.

"Well I think we should follow her. Don't you? See what she's up to?" The quarian suggested with uncertainty.

After a long silence, Ashley spoke up with confidence, she was the second human spectre after all. "I agree, we should make sure the skipper is safe. If she knows any thing, we should follow. Just lye low until she needs us." All four turned to the elevator again and decided to inform the crew of what was happening. Once they reached the shuttle bay, they headed up to the group of crew, talking about their commanding officer's feelings and that there is nothing they can do for her. "That's not entirely true." Ashely interjected. "There is something we can do."
"Like what?" Jack answered, very fast and eager.
"Well, skippers just told us that she's 'heading to the range to relieve some stress' but we all know she wouldn't leave in a time like this."
"Do you think that the primitive we are after has left something at the building we came from?" Javik joined in the conversation.
"I dunno, but anythings possible. We know the Skippers hurting and she'll do anything to get Liara back. We think that we should follow her. What do you think?" The second human Spectre asked the group.
"Well I think we should. I need to hit something, preferably some squishy human. So if Shepard leads us to him then, I say let's go for it."
The entire group agreed with the idea to follow Shepard and all started to gear up. "EDI?" Ashely spoke to the robot form in front of her.
"Shepard requested that Joker take us in to the New York head quarters. We should be arriving in 3minutes." EDI replied in matter of fact tone.
"And Shepard?"
"She has came down from her quarters, she isn't carrying any gear."
"Well that means she can't be going to the range then." An Australian voice joined in on the conversation with the two squad members.
"Exactly."
"We have just landed at our destination. Shepard is leaving the ship now."
"Thanks EDI, alright guys we need to hurry up and get to the CIC. Shepard's leaving the ship!"
The crew just left the Normandy without causing any commotion. Ashley thought it was a good idea to split up in pairs as they wouldn't look as obvious to Shepard's eye. The Commander was flying in a rented sky car, she just paid for, well Shepard just handed a bunch of credits to a flustered looking salesmen but never the less, Shepard is flying to an unknown location. The opposite way from the firing range, which just confirms the crew's suspicions. The squad decided to take two sky cars to follow Shepard, any more and Shepard may notice. 'What is Shepard playing at?' Garrus thought, 'Why didn't she tell us what she was doing?'

Shepard's shuttle landed roughly on the ground next to some abandoned warehouse. 'The Commander wasn't much better at flying the sky car than driving the macko.' Tali took note. Shepard walked up to the warehouse cautiously and knocked on the door, she only waited 5minutes for an unknown black figure to answer the door. She entered behind the figure unsure of what she was going to do.

The other two sky cars, the Normandy crew were driving landed further back approximately 2miles away as the building they were at could have look outs, they did not want to draw attention to themselves with Shepard inside. "Okay guys, listen up! We should do this in pairs but my group will take three because we're gonna take the front of the building, Wrex, Jack your with me. Garrus and Javik take the back and Miranda and EDI can take the side, take the left one with the window. You understand guys?" The group nod in understanding. "Okay don't fire until ordered by me. Let's go." All the teams are in position, Wrex, Jack and Ashley are peering in the window at the front. "See anything?" Ashley asks Jack who is peering a tiny bit in the window. Jack turned pale, "Oh my fucking god. That bastard!" Jack shouted in rage. The spectre was scared to say the least of what she may see in there. When she finally looked in the window she thought she may vomit. There on a table was Shepard only in her underwear screaming in agony due to some man, who she presumes is Richard, straddling her, with Liara begging him to stop.

20 minutes before.

Spitting up blood the Commander couldn't take it no more. One more stab and she'll pass out. "Give Liara up! You've got me like you wanted all those years ago, now give her up!" The man torturing her sneered at Shepard and replied harshly "Of course. I'll go get her Commander." The way Richard empathised the word commander left a shiver going up her spine, which just hurt her bruised and broken body even more. The first human spectre, saviour of the galaxy was tied up on a table with 4 knife wounds, a broken ankle, well she thinks it's shattered, and a big bruise across her chest. Even through all of this, all she could think about was Liara and where she was. Hopefully she was okay and hadn't been tortured like her. Not long after Richard left he was back dragging Liara with help of a merc. She had blood on her face but other wise looked fine.

"Liara!" Shepard said to the shouting and squirming asari. The asari's eyes quickly dart up to the helpless and broken commander tied up on the table. "Susan!" Liara tried to escape the hard grip on her shoulders but was unsuccessful. They were too strong. "It's... It's okay Liara. You and the... The baby are gonna be... okay." Shepard struggled to say as she was chocking on her own blood. The sight before Liara tore her heart out, all she could do was struggle from this vice type grip on her which would not let go. Another merc took a hold of the squirming asari which was now sobbing endlessly while Richard headed towards the Commander on the table. Slowly he straddled the Spectre, while she was fighting to do anything but let him do what he was about to do. 'Not in front of Liara. Oh god. No.' He slowly removed the commander's alliance underwear, as the commander kicked and screamed to get out. Every time Shepard moved, hot burning pain caused her to stop, her wounds felt like they were on fire. The next scene seemed to go in slow motion for Shepard. The two strong mercs that were holding the weeping asari were shot dead as they slumped to the floor as well as the two guards by the door. Richard was thrown from the commander and smacked his head on the concrete floor. Shepard watched the life fade out of his eyes as he gradually died from blood loss. Liara was up of the floor in a flash as she reached the now passing out commander. "Get me some blankets!" Liara ordered to the crew that were now in the building. Garrus and Ash were working on the vices that have got the Commander tied up while the rest of the crew, check dead saviour of the galaxy's eyes were fluttering as she tried to focus on the love of her life. "I...love... You Liara. I'll... Look out... For you and...and Our baby... when... I leave.. this world... Where ever... I am...I promise..." The commander's eyes fluttered shut as darkness enveloped her.
