Part 14!

Eve stood between her father and Kaidan. She had been working for an hour to get them to agree on the terms.

This is hell. She thought to herself shaking her head as the two men reached for their guns again. Eve had half a mind to use her biotic powers on them both.

Randy, Garrus and Mike were watching. Randy sighed and shook his head, "Can this possibly go on any longer?"

"You don't know Shepard or Alenko very well. They're both hard-headed, and they won't stop until one is right and the other is dead." Garrus smirked.

"I don't see the comedy in this." Mike looked from the two men back to Eve and the hot heads.

"Eve is fighting a war that has been going on since Normandy 1. Just because she's the one getting in between them doesn't mean this is going to stop."

"It needs to before Eve decides to use dirty measures." Randy chuckled.

"Dirty measures?" Garrus and Mike looked at Randy.

"Just watch. She's close to it. I can tell. I don't know how many times she used them on me and John when we were fighting, but it's just evil."

Just as Randy said that Eve started crying. She sunk down to the ground, head in her hands and sobbed like a child. Garrus and Mike's mouths fell open. How the hell did that happen? Randy smirked knowing just what she was doing. Kaidan and Shepard both scrambled to her side to calm her. Eve pulled away from either one of them when they would try to touch her.

Kaidan looked at Shepard, "We're putting a lot of strain on Eve by fighting."

"Yes, we are. I think we should just agree instead of arguing about every little thing." Max nodded.

Kaidan and Shepard shook hands. Abruptly Eve stopped crying. She stood up and skipped over to Randy with a grin on her face. Shepard and Kaidan looked at each other incredulously.

"Did she just play us?" Max asked.

"I think she did." Kaidan looked over at Eve, "How could you do that?"

"I was tired of hearing you two bitch about everything. Damn just agree on something so we can get back to the ship." Eve crossed her arms.

Garrus, Mike and Randy were laughing their asses off. The looks on Alenko and Shepard's faces were priceless. Randy grinned at Eve. He placed a kiss in her hair.

"You're an evil woman, Evie."

"It still works on you, Randal, and you know what the hell I'm doing."

"I don't like seeing you cry. It breaks my heart."

Eve smiled up at him then looked back at her father and adopted brother, "Can we go now?"

"Yeah. Let's go. I need time for my ego to heal." Shepard shook his head.

"Where did she learn that?" Kaidan asked.

"Her mother used to do it. I should have realized what was going on, but I didn't." Shepard smiled and helped Kaidan up.

Eve turned to Mike, "You're going to be quite surprised when we get back to the Normandy."

"Why's that?" Mike asked.

"Because Candi's grown up a hell of a lot since you last seen her."

Mike bit his lip and blushed. Eve giggled.

The six started back to the Normandy. The three youngest talked about the past and how much they'd missed having Mike around.
