It was cold, and with her armor off and these stupid clothes she had been given she was downright freezing. Kaidan had left the room to get them food, locking the door behind him. Once he was gone she had jumped up and began pacing. She needed to think and couldn't do that with him sitting there staring at her. She couldn't figure out why they hadn't moved her to a holding facility. This was not like anything she had ever been told, and she definitely hadn't been trained for this. She should have been interrogated. Hell she was a prisoner of war, wasn't she?

Kaidan was annoyed, but no matter how annoyed he was, he would do as he was asked. They wanted him to stay with the Admirals daughter, he would. She had barely spoken to him since they had moved rooms and she realized he would be bunking with her. She had asked a few questions at first, questions he couldn't answer. As he stood in the chow line, waiting, lost in thought he heard someone call out that the Admiral was in the room and he pulled up to attention. He saluted as the Admiral stopped in front of him.

"At ease Alenko, I need to talk to you. This isn't a military talk so relax."

Kaidan nodded but kept his shoulders back, resisting the urge to drop into parade rest.

The Admiral led him to the side of the room and set him down at a table. "How's Jane?"

"Well Sir, she seems confused, she doesn't understand why she hasn't been taken to a prison, and she doesn't understand why I'm watching her. Hell sir, I don't even understand that last one. But really right now she's gone silent."

The Admiral nodded, but didn't answer right away, when he did it wasn't to answer his questions.

"Her mother was a great General. We were married long before either of us had become much, both just enlisted kids. I loved her deeply, but we had our differences as people do, the last time I spoke to her, I tried to convince her to let me have Jane, that if she was moving to the front, it was better to leave her with me than to keep leaving her at base. She refused, saying I wanted her for my own ends, that her daughter would not be used by the Alliance. She was speaking of course of the fact that Jane is a biotic, and I had wanted her placed in our Military biotic training school."

The room seemed to go very quiet, as Kaidan tried to take in that information. "She's a biotic? But she didn't use it on the field, the Turian's have their own division for Biotics, she identifies as Sniper Squad. Which I can tell you first hand, is quite accurate. Though, she wouldn't have implants either. Are you sure sir?"

"I am, you know John, they are twins, and she was documented as displaying biotic tendencies as a child."

"But sir, without proper training, she wouldn't be able to control it."

The Admiral shook his head as he stared over his shoulder. "The Turian that raised her, General Vandrel, he's married to an Asari. I'm guessing she taught her to control it." He paused still lost in thoughts and memories, "It's funny Alenko, if Jane had never been taken away from me, you and she would have been in school together. A few years behind you of course, like John. But you would have gotten to know her then. Who knows what would have happened." Standing Hackett laid a hand on his shoulder and made to leave.

"Sir, I don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing. Why am I here?"

"You're to keep her here, keep her occupied, maybe change her mind about wanting to run back to the Turians."

"I'm not sure that's possible sir, she loves her father, she has a life there, a boy," the word died on his lips as the Admiral's eyes grew hard, cold as they stared down at him.

"I don't care what she thinks she has back there. My daughter was taken from me; she doesn't know what's good for her, she'll get used to this in time. Now, Alenko I have a battle to plan out, the Turians are trying to take us out with overwhelming force on our front, they may push back this direction. You will keep her happy, occupied. Tell her about Earth, what you'll do once you're there. Things like that."

"Aye Sir," Kaidan's eyes were downcast and his voice lacked conviction, the Admiral heard it and turned a sympathetic smile on him.

"Don't you see Alenko, I'm giving you permission to date my daughter, in fact that's an order. If she comes around to you, perhaps she'll take the other news of her brother and I better. I'll be in touch Lieutenant."

"What?" But the Admiral was already gone, leaving a shocked and blinking Kaidan in his wake. What the hell had he just said? Date her, yeah right, because that was going to be easy, you know, with her wanting to shoot him and all.

"Great, just great, getting set up with the Admirals daughter, just why I joined the Military," he almost groaned as he picked up their trays and turned back towards their room. His omni-tool unlocked the door, and he stepped through in time to watch Jane finish doing push-ups off the side of one of the bunks. Setting the trays down on the round table in the middle of the bunks he turned to watch her, arms folded over his chest, a bemused smile on his face.

Jane stood and tried to fix the shirt he had given her, by what she had said, it was much tighter than she was used to. What he hadn't told her was that it did amazing things to her figure.

"What's the look for?" She clasped her hands behind her back and stood perfectly still.

"Just amused, aren't you tired of drills? I mean you're captured and here you are, still exercising."

"I enjoy it, it helps me think. Well not as much as a shooting range does. But since I don't see you giving me a rifle any time soon, this will have to do."

"Right, guns again." Changing the topic he turned and took a seat at the table, "You haven't had anything to eat since you got here." He gestured to a chair and she took it without a word. He slid the tray to her and watched as she picked up the fork he gave her and she stared at the plate. She touched it with the fork staring at it as if it was going to jump off the plate and eat her.

"What is it?"

"One of my favorites, meat loaf, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, thank God the Admiral is here, or we wouldn't be eating this well. It's been quite awhile since I've had corn on the cob. It might be genetically engineered food and not what we used to grow back home. But I'll take it, dig in Shepard."

The clatter of the fork against the plate echoed off the walls around them as she stared at him, he couldn't read the expression on her face, but he knew it wasn't a good thing.

"Don't call me that, ever."

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking. I'll stick with Jane, if that's alright."

She nodded and picked up the fork, took a deep breath and stabbed the meat loaf, stuffing the over large bite in her mouth. Her face screwed up as she chewed slowly.

"Good?"

"I'm not sure yet, it's not awful, but it's just not what I'm used to."

Kaidan shook his head as he watched her take a few bites of potato, and showed her how to pick up the corn and bite it off the cob.

"Seriously, what did you eat with the Turians?"

"The same thing they do."

"What? I thought that would kill us, how do you manage?"

She shrugged as she took another bite of corn, the butter dripping down her chin.

"I still can't believe you were raised with them, that they let you in the military. Come clean with me Jane, what are they like? They seem so cold, the ones I've met."

Jane swallowed and set everything down, pushing the plate to the side. Her head leaned slightly to the left as she watched him.

"Have you ever met any that weren't either prisoners, or dying?"

"Well no." His voice was quiet as he realized she was studying him.

"We are honorable; we believe in society and platoon first, the few for the many. We fight to the last. We do not retreat; these are not things that are 'cold' as you put it. It sounds like to me, that you don't understand Turian's at all. So I wouldn't be so judgemental of my people." Jane couldn't keep the pain out of her voice, for as she said those words her thoughts were immediately on Nihlus, who had not retreated.

"That's the thing Jane, they aren't your people. We are."

"No," the word was said with more force than she had intended and she realised her hands were fisted.

"You are my species. There is a difference."

Holding up his hands, Kaidan relented. "Alright, I'll let it go, you're right I've never met a Turian outside of the war, I suppose, not until now." He let that sit and she seemed to relax, even if only slightly. "Okay Jane, you may not have enjoyed the meat loaf, but I know you'll love the chocolate cake, every girl I've ever taken out to dinner, always loves the chocolate cake."

"Taken a lot of girls out for dinner, have you Lieutenant?" The question was asked with a smirk, so he smiled and shoved the piece of cake towards her.

"Sure, a few, none quite like you before. Though technically you're kind of a captive audience and I didn't really take you out."

Jane wanted to groan, could she flirt with him? Did humans even flirt the same way? Grabbing the fork she took a bite of the cake and just about melted.

"That's fantastic; it's really sweet, like Turian ice wine. You're right, I like it, guess I'm just like all those other girls." Spirits she felt awkward.

"Now that is where you're wrong Jane, you aren't like anyone I've ever met before. Why do you turn your head like that when I talk? It reminds me of a bird my aunt had, back on earth."

Jane shrugged, but was all of a sudden aware of the movements of her head. "I guess it's just how we listen when interested, or are curious. I never thought about it."

She blushed, she was turning a light pink all the way from her neck to her hair-line, and she was cute when she was embarrassed. The fact that she always acted very confident made him doubt that it happened very often.

The thought of having gone through school with her jumped into his mind but he shook his head. That didn't happen, and the simple fact of it was, he was supposed to try to get her to want to be with him and it made him feel sick, because he could see how easy it would be, to fall in love with Jane Vandrel.

ooOoo

It was late when Kaidan was woken by voices in his room, no, one voice, and he couldn't understand it. He glanced around and realized where he was and what had awoken him, Jane was talking. Rolling over he grabbed his translator and shoved it in his ear. Jane's voice was pleading, and sitting up he stared over at her bunk.

"What was that Jane?"

"Mmhm, please Nihlus, don't go, you'll die, I'm sorry. I should have told you."

He realized she was still asleep and stood walking towards her bed.

"Told me what?"

"About Garrus, sorry, I'm. You're dead, I should have told you how I felt. It was wrong, and now you're gone, Nihlus."

Standing over her, Kaidan could tell she was crying and without thinking he leaned forward and ran his hand gently over her hair. It seemed to calm her, and he even saw a small smile at the corner of her mouth as she nuzzled towards his hand. She shivered as she had shoved her blankets off in the night, and he pulled the blanked back over her, fighting the urge to tuck her in.

"Garrus," pulling back his hand he frowned, her whole life was back with, whoever she was talking to. Settling himself back on his bunk he leaned forward, laying his head in his hands. In his lifetime he had never known a time when they weren't at war with the Turians. But in that moment for the first time, he wondered why.

ooOoo

Jane couldn't stand being cooped up in a room. She needed to be able to run, fight, hell she needed a gun, and she hadn't gone this long without going out to a shooting range since she was seven. She was feeling trapped and by the time Kaidan opened his eyes she was circling the room at a slow jog.

Kaidan mused that she looked like a trapped animal in a cage, and the thought caused him to grimace. That's what she was, wasn't it?

"What are you doing?"

She didn't answer him and he stretched and sat on the edge of the bed watching her.

"Are you hungry? I would kill for some coffee, want some?"

She shrugged.

"I'm not sure I'm ready for whatever you call breakfast, and I have no idea what coffee is."

"You've never had coffee? Well, that I have to fix."

Before she could answer he was up and in the washroom. Jane stopped and waited for him to get out. She stared at him as he changed his shirt and when he turned to her she was frowning.

"Do you think we could go outside? I'm dying in here."

"No, I don't think so Jane, I'll ask though. But I'm pretty sure the answer will be no. I bet I could find us a movie to watch or something, maybe I'll teach you to play poker. We'll figure something out."

She nodded but didn't look pleased as he left the room and locked it behind him.

As he came back in the room, he could see Jane sniff the air. "That smells good at least."

"Just wait till you try it, I made you a double double, two creams, two sugars. When you get to Earth you'll find that everyone lives on the stuff. Most of us can't even get going in the morning without it."

She blinked at him, her eyebrows drawn together as he handed her the cup.

"What did you just say? Why would I be going to Earth? Am I to be tried for treason? I didn't defect from the Alliance, I was raised by the Turians, adopted. They wouldn't take me to Earth. I'm a prisoner of war and must be treated as such. What is going on Lieutenant? Why haven't I been taken to a holding facility?"

She watched his face go very still and her heart thudded in her chest to the point she thought it was going to burst, if they took her to Earth, she'd never be able to get back. Panic seized her chest; it was becoming hard to breath. She tried to still her pulse and her breathing, but the only thing she could think was that she'd never see her family or Garrus again, and she would not let that happen.

"Oh well, you know if you ever make it to Earth." She sounded angry and he had wanted to ease her into it.

"I asked you a direct question Lieutenant. Are you just going to stand there and lie to me?"

He was silent and Jane almost groaned, not answering questions honestly seemed to be a human trait. Or at least this one.

Taking a deep breath Jane took a sip out of the cup she was holding, praying that she wouldn't scream, or worse cry.

"How's the coffee?"

"It's fine, sweet like the cake you gave me."

"Yeah, that's the sugar. I figured you'd like that."

She nodded at him, but her eyes were like green fire, and he found he was relieved that she didn't know how to use her biotics to their full advantage.

They sat in silence until the coffee was gone, and the food he had brought was cold.

"So, you talk in your sleep Jane. You could have told me, it made for quite the wake up in the middle of the night."

There was that quirk of the head again, she seemed confused.

"I didn't know I talk in my sleep."

"Yeah, you do." He wanted to ask about the names, and wondered if she'd even answer him. She had answered everything else, he wondered if that was a Turian trait.

"Who's Nihlus?" He watched as she flinched, pain, and something else, guilt, maybe flashed through her eyes, before the nothing mask took its place and she took a deep breath.

"I grew up with him, in my colony, he was a neighbor. More than that, he was the first friend, Spirits, the only friend I had for many years. I was in love with him for a long time."

He blinked, he hadn't expected her to just, blurt it all out like that. Most girls he had known had to have info like that drawn out of them like poison. So he pushed his luck. "And Garrus," he held his breath waiting but the mask was still firmly in place, she merely took a deep breath and continued.

"Garrus is my platoon leader, a sniper like me. He and I became close."

"What happened to them?"

"Garrus was with me when I was taken; he gave me the order to move forward. I am guessing he made it out and is now, back at the Academy continuing his officer training." She said it with no emotion, even though inside her heart was breaking.

"You said Nihlus was dead, that," she nodded, and he broke the question off.

"He died on his platoon's first combat action; he broke the front line, held the line while his platoon secured their position, pushed through by himself, took out a full frontal attack by what I was told. It cost him his life, but he did his job. Platoon first." She looked up at him then, her eyes bright with unshed tears. "He was killed by a biotic, one in your squad."

He remembered that lone Turian, he remembered losing the front line. They had lost that battle. Kaidan tried to keep still, he couldn't move or he was sure he'd give himself away, because it hadn't been one of his squad that had killed Nihlus, it had been him. He hadn't died right away and he had died calling for Janey. Oh God, it had been Jane he was calling for. The guilt ripped through him. He had killed many Turians, too many. They had killed his men too. But he had never had to look at someone who had been affected by it, and it killed him to see the look in her eyes. He swallowed and turned his face from her.

"I really don't feel like talking anymore."

The silence felt heavy, like a lead weight had settled on them. Or maybe just him, did she know it was him? Is that why she was sent to kill him? Or were they just gunning for his squad? They had done quite a bit of damage. He couldn't bring himself to look at her so he pulled out his data pad and sat at the table, trying to make it look like he was busy. She paid no attention to him though, just sat there, her eyes distant, staring off at the far wall. And when she spoke he just about jumped out of the chair.

"Kaidan, I answered your questions, honestly. Would you do that for me?" She was next to him, her hand on his, before he knew what was happening. Her thumb brushed over his knuckles and he realized that she was staring at his hand. Picking it up in her she ran her fingertip over his nails. Then pressed her palm to his, "It's weird, I see my own hands all the time, but to see yours against mine, it seems so, different." Her voice was distant and he held back a gasp at the feeling of her hand on his.

She lifted her eyes to his and he lost himself in their green depths.

"Kaidan, why are they taking me to Earth?"

"Because, you're one of us, you belong there, with us; the Admiral thinks it would be best."

"Why does the Admiral care what happens to me?"

Everything told him to keep his mouth shut, but as her green eyes stared into his he could barely think.

Jane had sworn she would do anything to get out of here, and as she repeated that to herself, she let him lean forward and press his lips to hers. Her first instinct was to pull away, his lips were much too soft, not what she was used to, and it was strange letting him this close to her. He parted his lips and she could feel his tongue against her lips, asking and she opened her mouth slightly, and he responded by pulling her against him and letting his tongue explore her mouth. She promised herself she wouldn't move, wouldn't pull back. But he did it for her; he pushed her back and pushed his chair away from her.

The air was still around them, she could hear his breath, heavy, rushed. Letting him regain his composure she moved to the chair on the other side of the table and sat.

"Why does the Admiral care Kaidan?"

He ran a hand over his face and fidgeted in his chair, he needed her trust, and he had to give her something.

"Your mother was a General in the Alliance, Shepard, that's where you remember that name from. The Admiral was her husband, you're his daughter. That's why he cares Jane. You were reported dead at about the age of six. Assumed killed with your mother. It's all right here," he opened the datapad and went to hand it to her, but she shook her head.

"I can't read that Kaidan." She was struggling to control her tone, her breathing; she was swearing to herself that she wouldn't scream.

He nodded and skimmed it, "Your father is Admiral Hackett, the man you met when we first arrived here. You have a brother, John Hackett, he's your twin, same age, and a very promising biotic, I was in school with him, and he'll join the Alliance next year. You could be trained as he and I have been, with the right implants you could actually use your biotics."

Jane flinched; they knew she was a biotic too. Shit. Jane's head was swimming, she felt like she was going to be sick. She wasn't a prisoner of war at all, she was being taken, with no intention of being returned, she was being taken by a family that she didn't know, nor did she care to know. She couldn't breathe; it felt like a Krogan had been sat right on her chest. She wanted to scream, she wanted to throw things. Instead she kept her face passive, trying to unclench her jaw.

"So there is no intention of using me as a prisoner in a trade. I am not considered a prisoner at all, am I?"

"No, once we're gone, you'll be coming back to Earth, with me. We'll get you settled and accustomed to everything." He wasn't thinking clearly, the kiss had set his world spinning and it wasn't stopping, the thought that the Admirals plan could actually work set thoughts reeling through his mind. They could date, she would learn their culture. Next year with the Admirals help she could join the Alliance, with her brother; she would have information on the Turians that could help them win this war. Their age difference wasn't that much; they would have time after their tours in the Alliance, she would love Vancouver. He could give her everything.

Just as his thoughts were spiraling out of control, the room went dark, he heard the door click open behind him and Jane stood, instantly at the ready and that brought him back to his senses.

He was up and out of his chair, moving towards the door, he could hear shouts out in the hall.

"Crap, the Turian line must have pushed through our front. Jane I need you to stay here."

And without thinking he shoved the door open and was gone.

Jane didn't wait; she had no intention of staying there. She glanced towards her armour, discarded in the corner. No time, she had to move now, before Kaidan, or someone realized what he had done.

She was out into the hall in the next breath; she had only walked through the building once, when she had been brought here. There were Alliance soldiers running towards the door, and she followed them out into the light. She could hear the firefight, it was close. If she could just make it around the front, find a Turian that wouldn't shoot her on sight she might just have a chance.

Running towards the outer wall of the compound, she crouched and waited, there was a dead Alliance soldier across the way from her. She dodged to him and relived him of his rifle. Turning back towards the line she ran to the side, there was a tree line not too far from the outer wall.

She knew she had to do this now, before the airstrike that she knew was coming started. When taking a position like this, they would come in full force.

She jumped the barricade and made a break for the left flank; they had moved towards the main fighting, she knew there would be more Turians farther back, holding positions waiting to move forward after the airstrike started.

Jane crouched behind the barricade on the opposite side, waiting for her chance to move when she caught sight of Kaidan, biotics flaring as he tried to hold the line.

Without a second thought she lifted the rifle and sighted in on him, she watched as his shield shimmered and faded. Just as she was about to squeeze the trigger, take the shot and end her mission, her breath caught as his eyes found hers and she pulled to the left, the shot landed right next to his head, causing him to duck and flinch from the shards of the wall hitting him.

Kaidan's eyes were still locked on hers. He knew she didn't have to miss that shot, and his heart clenched as he watched her turn and run farther into the woods, and away from him. She had tried to kill him twice, yet he wanted nothing more than to pull her to him and finish that kiss they had started. He shook his head as she disappeared from his sight and cussed himself. "You're in so much shit Alenko."

ooOoo

Jane ran, she ran until she saw the red dot on her chest and hit her knees, planting her hands behind her head and shouted.

"Don't shoot, I'm Initiate Jane Vandrel Sniper Division." She heard the click of weapons being trained on her as they moved towards her.

"Sir, she's speaking Turian. Did she say Vandrel, no shit; this is the Generals human brat. Everyone assumed you were dead."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"They were keeping you here? Are there other prisoners in that base? I'm about to call in an airstrike Vandrel."

"None that I knew of Sir," Jane watched as he eyed her, it seemed as if he was trying to decide if she was telling the truth, she saw it in his eyes, in the twitch of his mandible. He was wondering if she was with them.

He decided and motioned for her to be taken back. "Take her to one of the shuttles taking wounded. Get her out of here. The rest of you, move forward, take the base."

Jane could hear the airstrike move in above them as she was taken to a shuttle and shoved inside. She shook her head as she wondered if Kaidan would be okay. What the hell did she care?

As the shuttle took off she saw the first flash of the airstrike below her, and as quickly as it had started. It was over.

ooOoo

"Pull back, get to the shuttles now!" Admiral Hackett grabbed Kaidan as they ran towards the shuttle. "Where is Jane, Alenko?" Kaidan spun towards the Admiral as they jumped into one of the shuttles.

"She's gone Sir, she bolted for the Turian line when the fighting started."

Kaidan's teeth rattled as the Admiral slammed him against the wall of the shuttle.

"You lost my daughter? You let her run back to the Turians?" Kaidan stood firm at attention as the Admiral seethed in front of him.

"Listen here Alenko, you're going to get your team together, and you're going to get my daughter back, do you hear me? I don't care how long it takes, or what it costs us, you will get her back. Do you hear me Lieutenant?"

ooOoo

As the Academy came in sight a breath that Jane felt like she had held inside since this started, was released. Closing her eyes she thanked whoever was listening that she was back here. She had come much too close to never getting back.

Garrus paced the landing pad, he had got word that Jane had been found on the front on Primaria. His heart was racing as she jumped off the shuttle and practically right into his arms. As he held her, he could feel her shaking.

"What are you wearing Jane? You look frozen."

"I haven't been warm since I left." She burrowed into him, trying to absorb his heat.

"Not that, that shirt doesn't umm, accent some of your better qualities."

Jane laughed and he felt the shaking ease. "I can't wait to be out of it."

Garrus nuzzled his head against her and he felt her control a sob, trying to put her at ease he whispered close to her ear.

"I can't wait to have you out of it too."

It was dark, most of everyone was asleep, Sadria had woken him to tell him what her father had messaged her, that Jane had been found. So he scooped her up into his arms and carried her to their spot, well that's how he thought of it now, late nights on the range. He didn't care who wanted to talk to her, she was his tonight and no one was taking that from him.

They sat on the far side of the shooting range, Garrus leaning in the same spot he had found Jane that night staring at the stars. She wasn't staring at the stars then, just him. She hadn't removed her arms from around his neck and he pulled her closer to him in his lap, nipping gently down her neck. Breathing in her scent, it was off, she smelled like. Hell that must be human smell. He nuzzled her and she drifted her hands over his face.

"Spirits Garrus, I thought I might not ever see you again."

"I would never let that happen, Jane; your father would never let that happen. What happened out there Jane?"

She quickly shook her head, her eyes squeezing shut.

"Not tonight Garrus, please, just us tonight."

He nodded and continued to nibbled her neck, allowing himself to bite her harder, not hard enough to mark, but a telling of what he truly wanted to do. His hands roamed over her, feeling the solid realness of her. He trailed his talons over the firm plane of her stomach that he could see under the odd shirt she was wearing. Tracing her collar-bone he let her snuggle into him. His body shifted, he wanted her, but tonight wasn't that night. Tonight he would hold her, let her come back to him. Because he didn't know what it was yet, but there was something different in her eyes. He had never known Jane to be an angry person. She handled things with a calm that can only come from years of good training. But he saw anger in her eyes, an anger that he tried to calm with his touch.

"All I could think, while you were gone Jane, was that I'm a horrible Turian."

Jane's hands stopped moving in the little circles on the back of his neck. "How the hell are you a bad Turian Garrus?"

His mandibles fluttered as his talons traced through her hair.

"Well when all we're supposed to believe in is society first, platoon first but what I want to think is that you're first for me, in all things, makes me a bad Turian."

She smiled and the circles on the back of his neck, stared again, "I love you too, and I would do anything to be with you Garrus. Like run head long into a firefight as a human, right into a Turian line, praying they wouldn't shoot me before I could talk."

"You didn't?"

"I did, and I would do it again."

"I love you Jane Vandrel, don't you ever do that to me again."

And in that moment she promised she wouldn't. Though what do we know about the future.

ooOoo

"General Victus, General Vandrel. The situation with Jane didn't go as any of us planned. It seems she is very capable. Continue her training, we're putting in a request that her biotics be looked into, perhaps honed. Nyreen Kandros is now heading up the Cabal squad. She'll report to her as well as Vakarian for her sniper training. We will not abandon the idea of her being placed into the Alliance, they are aware of her now, we're sure they'll want her back. This could play right into our hands. You trained her well General Vandrel. You're to be congratulated. See to it she keeps it up. That is all. Carry on."

Victus turned to Ganis and nodded at the look of relief on his face.

"He's right, this could work out, they know of her now. I just hope she doesn't hate them. I need her, we need her. We need this Ganis. This war must end, and now more than ever I'm sure it's going to be up to Jane."

"You know damn well thats not why they want her back with them. I think it's time we talked to Jane, honestly. Spirits only know what they told her. If she's going to be used as a pawn, she's going to be an informed one. This is still my daughter we're talking about. I love her more than anything. They wont take her from me, and neither will you." with that Ganis spun and stalked away.
