Chapter two: Citadel Chaos
" I thought you left Jane." John Shepard comment in bemusement at his sibling. He'd already been to see the council and as suspected they demanded proof. Jane shrugged.
" Conducted my business, I have to wait for a new ship. So I decided to see how you plan to take down the jackass Spectre." Shepard arched his brows.
" You've only just met and you already hate him? Not that he's an outstanding guy or anything." Shepard said with a slight shrug. Jane waved a hand at that comment.
" I don't like people who would shoot someone in the back, especially a friend." Shepard gave her a long look that she ignored.
" I'd rather shoot them in the face, you gonna betray someone have the balls to let them see it coming." Jane said with a firm nod. Shepard snorted and shook his head at her, that was the Jane he remembered.
" So...the Spectre, Kryik..." Jane trailed of curiously. Shepard groaned. He knew it would come up sooner or later, it was always Turians with Jane.
" Ah, here comes those alternative motives." Shepard said and rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms and cocked his hip to lean on the railing of the docking bay, the Normandy as a backdrop. Jane grinned at him slightly.
" I can't help it John, there is just something about Turians. So uptight, so honorable, so ready to follow orders and obey all the rules..." She growled at that and shuttered.
" I like it when they give in. It's so amusing to watch them crumble and cave under the inevitable. The chase is half the fun too." Jane said pleased as punch. Shepard shook his head.
" That's my sister, corrupting the innocent since birth." He joked. She rolled her soft violet eyes.
"Please John, when are Turians ever innocent?" She asked with a raised brow as she waved over the Citadel beyond the docking bay elevators. She shook her head and put her hands on her hips and grew more serious.
" So, where is the Spectre? He's not sticking with you anymore? I thought Kryik would be all over your ass like a barnacle, he's training you to be a Spectre yourself right?" Jane wondered curiously. John smiled slightly.
" We're searching for evidence against Saren, since the Council won't believe us. I mean it's Nihlus word against Saren they have to be sure. Saren was Nihlus mentor after all. It wouldn't be the first time a student turned on his teacher in all the history of that kind of relationship." John pointed out and shrugged.
" So Nihlus is following up on his own lead, we on the other hand, are heading down to Chora's Den to find Harkin, in turn to find Garrus Vakarian, a C-sec Turian who's trying to take down Saren himself." John revealed. Jane's lips twitched at the words, ' Turian' and ' C-Sec' like John knew they would.
" I'll tag along if you don't mind John. It should be fun to spend more time around my big brother as he moves forward to become the first human Spectre. I mean it's a step closer to my side of the pond right John?" Jane asked with a sly grin. John snorted at that.
" You mean all your illegal activities we won't go into? You realize Spectre's aren't free forgiving, they do a lot of police type work, just for the Council instead of military or C-Sec." John said raising a brow. Jane waved a hand blowing hair out of her eyes.
" John, my naive brother..." She shook her head and came over to wrap a arm around his shoulders as she pointed beyond the Normandy back into space beyond the Citadel.
" There is a whole different world out there for Spectres. They are above the law whether you want to see it or not. They answer to the Council sure, but the Council doesn't care how you get the job done, just that you do. Blowing up a school just because your target refused to come out, can be done despite casualties, not that you should do it, but that you could, with little to no repercussions at that. Casualties don't matter to the Council John, they'd do anything to achieve their own agenda, risk everything to save their own career and skins." Jane shook her head, sending strands of vibrant red into Shepard's face, he batted them away with a wary frown at her.
" Not every Spectre is like Saren, Jane, there are people who care for the safety of other people, human, Turian, alien or not. They protect people while getting the job done, there doesn't have to be rules broken to do that." Shepard said stubbornly. Jane let go of his shoulders and shook her head.
" Now you sound like the stuffy Executor Pallin." Jane said with a sigh as she waved a hand at Citadel space again.
" Why limit yourself, the universe at your hands as a Spectre, you could do anything you wished, I mean the Jackass got away with finding Geth and trying to destroy all organics right? I mean he sure didn't look real organic anymore himself, but think of the things you could do with that power at your hands. You could even save people if you wanted, be a vigilantly of justice or whatever or you could be the best damn Spectre around and make the rules." Jane said nodding as she put a hand to her head in salute to the universe. Shepard rolled his eyes he slapped her on the back making her stumble a bit forward against the railing. She caught herself and gave him a surprised look.
" And that Jane, is why no one ever asks you to be a Spectre." Shepard said with a grin. She snorted at that and crossed her arms.
" Alright enough bonding John, let's find us a C-sec and get down and dirty." Jane said with a sly grin at her innuendo. Shepard rolled his eyes.
" Yes Jane, lets go find the Turian and scare him away all in the same moment." Shepard said amused. She shook her head as they walked to the elevator with Ashley and Kaidan coming to join them now that their private conversation was over. Ashley gave Jane a wide berth, and Kaidan eyed Jane as they all boarded the elevator down into C-sec.
" Please John, none of the Turians I've ever met have ever been scared off by anything I've ever said or did. I mean Turians are the most upfront about casual ...interactions then anyone I've ever met. They make it easy to know in the first few seconds whether they're interested or not. If everyone did that, we'd probably be a lot happier as a communal group of mixed races." Jane said as the elevator closed and they started to move.
" Why Turians? I'm sure they aren't as happy with us still since the First Contact war as we are with them. They don't trust us and we don't trust them." Ashley said crossing her arms. Jane gave her a look of curiosity over her shoulder then put her eyes back on the doors in front of her.
" Bit racist aren't you? It's been almost thirty years now. If we can't learn to get along in thirty years then there's a wee bit of a problem isn't there? Unless it's more because of who your grandfather is rather then humanity and Turian relationships. I mean the Normandy is of both design." Jane said with a backward wave of hand not bothering to face Ashley as she said this, which was probably a good thing as Ashley immediately tensed up and Kaidan reached over and grabbed her arm to hold her back.
" My family has nothing to do with it!" Ashley said between clenched teeth. Jane tilted her head but didn't look back, the glass reflected her expression revealing she'd seen the whole show, her lips tilted up.
" You shouldn't judge a race based on a rash decision that was made of fear and mistakes, if we judge everyone like that we'd never have made it off our own planet into space at all." Jane pointed out. Kaidan tilted his head at that.
" I'm surprised you're so...diplomatic about it, why didn't you go into politics? You sound like you'd be good at it." Kaidan said cutting in uncertainly. Shepard chuckled.
" I told mother that she'd either be a politician or she'd be a criminal." Shepard said nodding then shook his head and glanced over at his sister.
" You could have been anything you wanted Jane, but you chose a very different path." Shepard said and shrugged. Jane chuckled at that herself.
" I'd have liked to be a politician just to have the chance to face down Sparatus and put the douche in his place. The look in his eyes, when things don't go his way and it's my fault, it's so much better then doing things legally and arguing, at least that way he has a chance to win, this way he just sends his little people after me and sees where they end up and I win." Jane said with a slight evil grin. Kaidan glanced at Ashley who gave the red haired woman a scowl.
" Sparatus?" Kaidan asked confused.
" Turian Councilor." Jane said in explanation. John shook his head.
" Do I want to know how you know the Turian Councilor personally Jane?" Shepard wondered with a raised black brow. Jane waved a hand at him.
" Not like that if that's what you think. I just tend to get mixed up in a lot of official Turian business, and C-Sec business while here, I'm very well known on the Citadel actually." Jane said unashamed of it. Shepard glanced out at C-sec's HQ, as they stopped, through the glass of the elevator.
" Should you be walking blatantly into C-Sec HQ if you're wanted here?" Kaidan asked warily. Jane gave him a wicked grin through the reflective glass that he startled at.
" Don't worry Sparky, I know a guy." Jane said with a wink as the doors opened into C-Sec HQ. Immediately all eyes came to her, a few Turians looked uncomfortable, some Salarians actually turned the other way when they saw her get off the elevator, and a human actually cursed under his breath and avoided eye contact. Shepard glanced at his sister incredulously. She was that well known?
" Sparky?" Kaidan caught with a face of surprise. Jane laughed at that.
" You don't like it?" Jane asked with a smile. Kaidan swallowed, nervous at that smile, it was a bit uncomfortable what she seemed to say without words. He looked away from her with a mumble under his breath in acceptance of the nickname. Jane chuckled.
" With as much attention as your getting should you talk to that guy you know, just so you don't get pulled in for waltzing in here?" Shepard asked his sister warily as most of the officers avoided them outright with various looks ranging from curiosity to hostility. Jane shrugged.
" Well I guess I should, I mean it'll save time. Well John, I'll meet you at Chora's Den, have a drink on me there while you're there, you could use to loosen those buttons Mr. Tight-ass." Jane said with a backward wave then she walked toward the stairs at the right of the elevator then disappeared. Shepard shook his head.
" Your sister is trouble skipper." Ashley said outright. Shepard chuckled.
" Don't I know it, alright let's go find Harkin it shouldn't be too hard to find him in a Gentleman's club." Shepard said sarcastically.
" Gentleman's club?" Kaidan asked uncomfortable.
" Strip bar basically." Shepard said seriously with a shake of head.
" We go the most interesting places don't we?" Shepard asked with a slight smile back at them both. Kaidan snorted.
" I think Joker will be upset we didn't bring him along." Kaidan said with a small smile. Shepard laughed.
" Let's not tell him we went then, he'll be complaining about it the entire way." Shepard teased. Kaidan choked on a laugh that he tried to hide behind a cough.

The Wards:
Harkin was a slimy douche bag and a terrible drunk like Anderson had said, so they didn't get much out of him other then a possible location to where the Turian C-Sec might be, they were headed over to a Doctor Michel's Medical Clinic. Shepard had doubts they'd find Garrus Vakarian there, after all what could he possibly be doing other then being healed up? Maybe Vakarian had a thing going on with the doctor. Shepard groaned at the last thought, he blamed Jane's influence on that part. Spending time with Jane could possibly be bad for him. He needed to be professional for this mission, and it was hard when his sister made things so personal.
As they walked over C-Sec's Wards entrance he reminded himself that he'd forgotten to see about the Krogan that the Shadow Broker's agent had told them about earlier after they'd spoke to the Council. As they approached the Medical clinic Shepard braced himself for all sorts of things going on inside, some maybe he didn't want to walk in on, but over all he braced himself and hit the panel to open the door. It opened to a scene he hadn't expected. A Shakedown.
That was at least better suited to the situation then something...else he supposed. Vakarian was crouched low to cover sneaking up on the thugs, at their entrance it made the thugs panic. Vakarian made a hell of a shot and killed the thug holding the good doctor hostage in a fantastic display, then hell broke loose and they slid to cover getting involved in a fight they weren't expecting. Good thing he never went anywhere unarmed.
The doctor crawled to cover while they dealt with the enemies. Shepard spotted a containment cell and aimed his pistol carefully, it blew taking out two of the thugs closest to it. Kaidan's biotics lifted the last in the air and Ashley shot him between the eyes. Kaidan released the corpse and Shepard walked the clinic to make sure they were clear before holstering his pistol and holding a hand up for his teammates, as they did the same.
Shepard walked over to where Vakarian and the Doctor were. She looked uninjured if a little shaken up, but that was to be expected in this situation, regardless he held out a hand that she took to help her stand.
" You okay there Doctor?" Shepard asked. She nodded, her eyes a little too wide, but she was alive and that was what mattered he guessed. He turned to the Turian, examining him with a raised brow. Shepard hadn't been around a lot of Turians, he was a lot different then Saren and Nihlus, maybe Turians were more different, they certainly didn't ' All look the damn same', as he'd been told. Shepard held out a hand to the Turian who took it and shook.
" Commander Shepard right on time, good to see you again." Garrus said with a firm nod. Shepard smiled slightly, it was like he'd been waiting on them. Shepard shook his head and crossed his arms.
" That was a damn fine shot, if a little reckless of the Doctor's life, did you even look before you pulled the trigger?" Shepard questioned. Garrus tapped his visor.
" I don't need as much time with this then anyone else." He explained. Shepard eyed the visor curiously but just nodded, talking shop could come later.
" So what was that about exactly?" Shepard wondered waving a hand to indicate the thugs laying dead feet away, there was a river of blood coming his way, but he didn't step up as it wove around his boots in a small pool.
Shepard stood by listening to what the Doctor had to say about the Shadow Broker and why they were looking for a Quarian girl who must have something on Saren. Shepard turned toward Garrus as he came forward.
" I'm coming too Shepard." He said without hesitation or doubt. Shepard smirked at that.
" Alright Vakarian welcome aboard, let's get back to Chora's Den then and find Fist. If this Quarian has information, we need it. Saren needs to be taken down." Shepard said.
" Williams, head back to the Normandy and inform Joker we're getting another Turian on board, and perhaps a Krogan, and Quarian if we can find her. He should know before I send anyone back." Shepard said with a shake of head.
" Yes Commander." Ashley said with a nod then wondered off with purpose. Garrus fell back to fill her position.
" Another Turian?" Garrus asked having caught that.
" We have a Spectre on board the Normandy, well he's here somewhere, but he was on board." Shepard said a waved a hand at that.
" I'm not sure if he's staying on board or not actually." Shepard revealed and shrugged. They dropped the conversation as they approached Chora's Den and the music was off, there was a sudden silence.
" Well that's a trap." Kaidan muttered as they pulled weapons.
" Get ready, we're shooting our way through it looks like." Shepard said shaking his head.
" I swear we get into way too many shoot outs on the Citadel, it's not usually like this right?" Shepard asked Garrus who chuckled, his mandibles flickering to show a flash of pointed teeth.
" All the time actually." Garrus waved a hand for Shepard to go ahead of him as they rounded the corner into the bar.
The place lit up with gunfire, in the soft lighting it was hard to shoot anyone, especially with the cramped entryway and their pitiful cover from all angles. It was hard to distinguish enemy fire from Friendly fire. His shields took at least three shots from Kaidan as the Lt. took cover behind him. Vakarian stayed close to the door taking out three guards, one who thought a birds eye view was a good idea.
Kaidan strained his biotics lifting a Krogan who was charging toward them all. Shepard finished the Krogan with a few choice Shotgun blasts then he switched back to his pistol to finish the two guards behind cover in front of the backroom they guarded as they branched further into the bar. One shot to another conveniently place containment cell and the room was clear. Kaidan called it and only a few nicks to his armor at that. Shepard used a boost to get his shields back to full power as they continued on through closed doors.
The other side held two more men, not guards this time, factory workers it looked like.
" I just took out eighty men out there, do you really want to test me?" Shepard questioned exasperated. He didn't think getting proof on a Spectre was be easy, but Makers balls he didn't realize he'd be going between firefights so quickly either. The two made some excuse then rushed away mumbling about not getting paid enough.
" I never would have thought of that." Kaidan said with a frown.
"Not everything has to end up a firefight." Garrus pointed out.
" No, but it usually does." Shepard said himself shaking his head.
" Come on, the faster we find this Quarian, the faster we get our proof and take Saren down." Shepard said waving his gun for them to continue down the hall toward Fist's office. Shepard expected anything walking into the office, from Krogan's to Turrets, what he wasn't expecting was Fist lying dead in a pool of his own blood. Still Shepard had Garrus and Kaidan secure the office as he knelt to confirm what the back of Fist's head told him.
" Any chance he killed himself?" Kaidan asked curiously, but doubtful.
" People who kill themselves don't usually shoot themselves in the face." Shepard said rolling the body to check Fist for any information for them or for Emily Wong who he said he'd help out.
" It takes a cold person to shoot someone in the face." Kaidan said eyeing the mess of ruined skull that remained from what use to be a human face.
" Do you think it was the Quarian?" Garrus asked holding up a Drive that Shepard would probably give the Emily Wong for her story. Shepard nodded to Garrus for the Drive, but shrugged for the bit about the Quarian.
" Perhaps, perhaps not. Is there anything about where she is?" Shepard asked. He found some encrypted data on his omnitool. Shepard wasn't the best with Tech, Jane was a master at it, but then again they both had their own skill sets.
Vakarian you know some Tech skills?" Garrus came over and knelt to examine what Shepard showed him.
" A bit." Garrus said and shrugged.
" Can you decrypt this then? It probably tells us where our Quarian is, well hopefully." Shepard said and stood as Garrus took his place going through the data after a few moments he made a sound under his breath.
" Fist was working for the Shadow Broker, and the Quarian seemed to have a meeting with Fist, or rather she's going to be meeting some more of his thugs in a alley not to far from here, looks like the Shadow Broker wants her dead. She must have information then." Garrus said.
" Let's hurry before she winds up that way. Maybe she knows who killed Fist, or she did kill him." Shepard said and they left the office. His pistol let out a noise from his detection upgrade and he glanced down.
" Looks like reinforcements have arrived, get ready to fight our way out this time." Shepard said with disdain in his voice as they opened the door and he almost got shot before he took cover behind the barricade from before. There was at least a half dozen in the club again. A pistol shot rang out in the silence and then it went to hell again, gunfire filling the club making Shepard's ears ring.
Garrus picked off one with a sharp eye, or maybe it was that visor of his, Shepard really needed to get one of those if it allowed Garrus to hit the very top of a enemies head that barely peaked over cover.
Two humans mimicking Krogan came charging around the corner on a suicide run that ended with them caught in Kaidan's biotics and smashed together. They broke cover to move up further into the club. Garrus broke off around the bar to flank the rest, while Kaidan jumped the bar to get a better vantage. Shepard switched to his Assault rifle to bring their shield down then tossed a grenade over and took cover. He hit the release and and explosion deafened them all for a long moment and rocked the table he was using as cover.
There was a long silence and then a single shot before Garrus voice rung out.
" Clear." Shepard stood and surveyed the mess he'd created. He whistled.
"I feel bad for whosoever ownership this place falls to next. I'd hate to clean this mess up." Shepard said shaking his head. He slapped the bar.
" Better not be drinking on the job there Kaidan." Shepard teased as the Lt. stood brushing bits of roof and Maker knew what else, out of his black hair. He'd been closer to the explosion after all.
" A warning would have been nice Commander!" Kaidan said louder then necessary with a pained face as he put hands to his ears, no doubt his hearing suffering from proximity. Shepard slapped him on the back making him stumble and put his hands out to the bar to catch himself.
" If I warned you, I doubt they'd have sat and waited to be blown to bits there, Alenko." Shepard joked. Kaidan made a face that showed his hearing was coming back.
" Let's go rescue us a Quarian, hum...never thought I'd ever say that." Shepard said then shook his head as he moved them out of the club at last. He half expected more thugs to be waiting outside the club, but it was deserted.
When they got to the alley, the place was also empty, save for piles of green liquid.
" Damn it Jane." Shepard cursed under his breath. He put his rifle away and ran a frustrated hand over his face.
" How did she get here before us?" Kaidan asked.
" She must have been the one to kill Fist and got the information first." Shepard said and shook his head.
" Who is this now?" Garrus asked confused.
" Jane Shepard, my sister." Shepard said. Garrus made a face as if he knew exactly who that was.
" I see her reputation proceeds her again." Shepard said with a wave of hand.
" I...know of her." Garrus said putting his gun away, a flick of mandibles and he rose a hand to his visor and adjusted it as if uncomfortable.
" I'm sure what you know isn't very...flattering." Shepard said rolling his eyes.
" No...probably not." Garrus said shaking his head.
" So what does she have to do with this? She's a Pirate isn't she?" Garrus said with a slight brow plate raise.
" She saved Nihlus on Eden Prime from Saren, she happened to be in the right place for once, we split ways in C-Sec, which is probably where she went with the Quarian, granted one of these goo piles isn't her." Shepard said eyeing the piles. Garrus hummed at that and eyed them.
" Pirates do love their chemical rounds." Garrus said then nodded for Shepard to follow him back to C-Sec which he did, dropping off the Drive from Fist's office to Emily Wong on his way past.
" So do you know who Jane's ' buddy' in C-sec is?" Shepard asked Garrus whose mandibles flickered at that. He made a uncomfortable sound he was sure Shepard couldn't hear, with his sub-harmonics.
" I'm not sure Buddy is the right word. I heard Chellick deals with the Pirate Shepard more then anyone else." Garrus revealed.
" Then she's more then likely with him. He's a Turian isn't he?" Shepard asked. Garrus frowned.
" Is that a problem?" Garrus asked puzzled. Shepard chuckled.
" No, Jane just likes Turians so I figured he'd have a ninety percent chance of being one." Shepard said and shrugged.
" I'm sure you know that fact though." Shepard pointed out. Garrus hesitated.
" I-I'd heard that the Pirate made a lot of the other detectives... uncomfortable, but it wasn't necessarily just Turians." Garrus said with a wave of hand himself. Shepard snorted.
" Then I'll warn you now. Jane has a serious thing for your kind, so if you're smart you'd be wary of it. She likes them uptight and rigid, try to be...not those things and you might not be completely seduced." Shepard said seriously.
" Opposed to half-assed seduced?" Kaidan muttered under his breath but they head him and Shepard even chuckled.
" I'm surprised that a human would be so...welcoming to Turians. There aren't many Human-Turian relationships, plus our races are so dissimilar." Garrus said uncertain. Shepard shrugged.
" What can I tell you Vakarian? Jane was always a weird one. She never does anything easily. Hell I'm not even sure she likes her own race. For as long as I've been around her I've never seen her remotely interested in any other race besides yours." Shepard said and then they were boarding an elevator to C-Sec.
Chellick's office was the last one on the left and inside held, as suspected, Jane and the Quarian who was holding up a wall.
Garrus eyed the human woman with vibrant colored hair, (that was what they called it right?) and tried to see something his kind would be attracted to. She was interesting to look at at least from what he could see of her back since she was sitting on the desk close to Chellick. The Turian detective looked annoyed at the Pirate since her hand was currently on the side of his face in a light caress. Garrus could hear the sub-harmonics and was surprised that Chellick wasn't as opposed as his face said.
Jane Shepard was saying something softly to Chellick as they entered. Chellick glanced up surprised they entered and swatted her hand away. She chuckled and turned to look at them. She had soft colored eyes like plants back on Palaven, a soft violet color, so unlike her brothers steel blue.
" About time you got here John, I thought I'd have to actually send you a message to get you here." Her voice was surprisingly sultry. Garrus was trying to see what the fuss was about. What in this human would his kind find interesting? She was certainly colorful and she had a nice waist, she was a short little thing though. She moved like a predator as she slid from the desk and came over. Her hips swayed with her walk that drew his eyes. That was...interesting.
" Enjoy beating me to the punch again Jane?" Jane Shepard rose red colored lips and shrugged.
" You were taking your sweet time John, I bypassed all that junk while you were looking for your C-Sec officer." She eyed Garrus as she said that with a once over that had her lips turning into a flash of bright white teeth. Garrus startled, his sub-harmonics nervous, her smile grew as if she could hear and understand, but that was impossible, so Garrus just figured she could read something his face was giving away.
" I went right to Fist and then found Tali'Zorah nar Rayya here." Jane made a thumb jerk toward the Quarian who put her omnitool away and glanced up.
" I figured it was so much safer here with big strong Turians to watch her." Jane said with a wink toward Garrus, his mandibles flickered at that. Shepard snorted at that and shoot his head.
" Her or you, Jane?" He questioned and she grinned flashing those blunt teeth again.
" Tali, this is my brother John Shepard, there's a title in there somewhere too. John this is Tali. She has the proof you need to find the Jackass. Shall we go to Anderson now?" Shepard was more relieved then annoyed at her doing this herself.
" If you're done flirting with half C-Sec, then by all means." He commented to his sister, shaking Tali's outstretched hand.
" It's Commander John Shepard by the way." He said to Tali who nodded her head.
" It's nice to meet you Commander Shepard." She retorted. He gave her an easy smile that she seemed to relax at.
" Not half brother, I'm just jerking Decian around, he likes the leash." Jane said with a wicked grin. Chellick's sub-harmonics revealed what he thought of that, Garrus was too fascinated to be very uncomfortable with what they meant about the detective.
" Behave Jane or next time you're on the Citadel I won't be so forgiving." Chellick said. Jane laughed and winked back at him.
" You'd get bored without me Decian." She waved Shepard forward and they left. She wove her arm through Tali'Zorah's as they left. Shepard glanced back curiously. The Quarian didn't seem to mind, which meant Jane had already done it before. He glanced at his sister. He hadn't seen her around any other race but Turians, did she branch out to Quarians as well? Jane was pretty much comfortable around aliens he knew that, but she seemed more willing to touch the Quarian then she should someone she'd just met.
" Word to the wise Tali girl, if you plan to join my brother on his hunt, might want to stock up on some Dextro foods, Kryik was complaining about it last I was on the Normandy. You too C-Sec." Jane said glancing back at him. Garrus startled then nodded.
" You spend a lot of time with Nihlus did you Jane?" Shepard asked eyeing her with a knowing look. She sent him a quick grin.
" Are you kidding John? What's not to like about a badass Turian Spectre? You'd have to pull me away." She joked, or maybe she was serious, Garrus wasn't sure. Jane glanced back at Garrus with a look he wasn't sure he understood before she smirked at turned back ahead.
" Besides Turians have nice...talons, it's hard to stay away when they're so fun." Garrus choked, Shepard just sighed, and Kaidan remained completely silent in the conversation.
