''Move it Mordin! We need to get to Tali!'' encouraged Shepard to the lagging scientist

''You *pant* you be one of the oldest members of your *pant* species with a hangover and *pant* lets see how well you do.'' puffed Mordin trundling along, far behind the other two.


''Move your crippled ass!'' shouted Zaeed. Jogging down the street as the group behind him rounded another corner.

''Hey unless you want to carry me shut it.'' shot back Joker.

''Why don't we just take a shuttle?'' questioned Kelly

''Well considering Zaeed put the driver at gunpoint forgetting that his door was still closed could be an answer.'' huffed Kasumi shooting a look at the mercenary.

''Yeah yeah whatever you say, whore.'' muttered Zaeed.

''What was that?'' shouted the thief.

''I said we are almost there come on.'' corrected Zaeed.


''Jack hang back, we don't want to alert them.'' warned Jacob as he and Jack closely stalked the mob holding the still struggling Garrus above there heads despite his several kicks and punches.

''Pfft like that will happen, a rabid Varren could be f**king their leg and they won't notice, to busy with their 'king'.'' replied Jack smirking at the situation the tight ar*ed turian was in.

''Just in case.'' cautioned Jacob.

''Why Don't we just shoot them?'' moaned Jack.

Jacob clasped his head in his palm. ''because Jack -'' he paused. ''wait, that ain't really a bad plan, but maybe we could threaten them with the guns instead.''

''Yeah yeah, goody to shoe's lets just go before-'' said Jack before looking ahead.

''Sh*t.''

''What- wait, were did the mob go?''


''So then what's your name, sweet thing?'' slurred weasel face. Already downing his fifth free shot of asari vodka.

''Its , erm , wait its coming back to me.'' mumbled Tali momentarily silent as she tried to remember .''O yeah that's right Tali'Zorah Vas something.''

''that's a very pretty name.'' said the turian as his arm slowly began to rest on the quarians.

Suddenly Tali leaned forward and spoke into a hushed whisper. ''But Don't tell anyone, but soon *hick* but soon I will be Tali'Shepard vas something.'' she stated proudly.

The men shared a look most likely thinking that it was some person changing thier name to Shepard like the hundreds of others after the Spectre's victory at the citadel, anyway what quarian would be able to score with the living legend himself.

''Mmmh well aren't you lucky? Hey I have an idea why won't the four of us leave this place, I know a great spot that is to die for.'' gruffed the hard faced man, his lackey's eyes lighting up at there understanding.

''I couldn't, I'm *hick* I'm waiting for John Shepard.'' explained Tali.

A cross of confusion flashed across the men but they accounted the name to either an over eager fan , or down to her being drunk but the turian turned this to their advantage. ''Oh that Shepard! Why didn't you say so? We're his friends and he is meeting us at the spot, in fact he told us to get you.'' beamed the man impressed at his own lie.

Tali cocked her head to the side. ''really?''


''Jesus were did they go?'' questioned Jacob.

''How the f*ck should I know? C'mon maybe they went down that alley seems like the only place they could.'' replied Jack jogging off round the corner with Jacob quickly following her.

After a brief inspection it proved to be fruitless and nothing peculiar could be seen.

''Well it seems there nothing here, sh*t.'' swore Jack kicking a nearby dustbin.

''Ho! Wait look Jack.'' exclaimed Jacob looking at the dustbin she kicked, or more so the wall behind it, in the slight movement caused by the kicked revealed the edge of a dark hole. ''Hey Jack help me with this would you?''

As they both grunted with extortion to move the heavy bin they stood back and looked at the site that greeted them. A large hole a couple feet high and wide was carved into the wall seemingly dug with claws if the deep marks along the edges were any indication, but lying at the entrance to the tunnel was a sure sign this was were the mob had gone.

Garrus's eye piece lay trampled and broken on the floor along with several fresh feet marks imprinted on the nearby filth.

''Well then I guess this is it, you ready?'' asked Jack.

Jacob shuffled his feet and glanced towards the gaping maw of the cave entrance. ''err ladies first.''

''Christ.'' muttered Jack, rolling her eyes she leaned forwards and descended into the darkness.


''Zaeed can you slow down?'' gasped Joker stumbling along side the equally tired Chakwas as they tried in vain to catch up with the more fit and younger crew members ahead of them.

''Jesus fine then, just so you don't bitch anymore, but if anything happens to Tali its your ass.'' scolded the mercenary.

''Do you think anything has happened to Tali?'' asked Kelly concern written deeply in her kind features.

''My fellow hoodie? Course not , she can take care of herself even if she is drunk.'' reassured Kasumi though a sliver of doubt had penetrated her voice.

''No doubt Shepard is already there doing the daring do and fending off villains and what not.'' reassured Chakwas taking her natural maternal role for the group.

''Yeah and no doubt getting all the women in the process.'' muttered Joker then his head shot up. ''hey do you guys hear that?''

''Hear what?'' questioned Zaeed as the group lapsed into silence to hear the noise, steadily each began to hear the sound of heavy panting and the sounds of bare feet slapping against the floor.

''What is -''

Suddenly Kelly's question was drowned out by the sound that brought a deep chill to Joker's spine.

''Master! We have found you?''

''Oh sh-'' Jokers cry was cut short as the Vorcha leapt over a wall and launched onto Joker wrapping him in a suffocating embrace.

''Master we were so worried we lost you!'' cried the Vorcha.

''Someone, shoot it.'' gasped Joker.

''I got it.'' said Zaeed raising his rifle.

The Vorcha head snapped around eyes narrowed as he glared at Zaeed. ''You! You the one who hurt us, tried to hurt master, we get you!'' and from his leg pocket the Vorcha pulled out a very beaten looking pistol and levelled it at Zaeed (who currently was armour less because he didn't expect a gun fight during the stag night.

After what seemed like an eternity of tension two shots rang out amongst the streets.


''You two its just here.'' hollered Miranda turning to the tired Shepard and almost passed out Mordin as they struggled to catch up.

''Finally, lets just hope to Christ she is alright.'' exclaimed Shepard.

''I'm *pant* I'm *pant I'm sure, oh forget it.'' gasped Mordin trudging along and nearly collapsing as the trio stopped.

''Were is it Miranda?'' asked Shepard

''Just there.'' pointed Miranda down the dingy street towards the flashing sign written in large neon letter Danesh'sjoint .

''Come on then, were wasting time.'' growled Shepard picturing ways he will punish anyone who even lay a finger on Tali.


''You sure you know him?'' asked Tali.

''Of course.'' assured the weasel faced man running arm along her arm and giving her a smile to reveal the blackened stumps of several teeth.

''Really? What's his eye colour?'' she asked.

The three men shot worried looks until the turian meekly gave a suggestion ''eeerm, green?''

Although Tali didn't even know his eye colour in her drunk state she reckoned it was right.

''Suppose you do know him, well lets go meet him then.'' said Tali suddenly a lot more happy at the thought of seeing her fiancé again.

''After you.'' growled the leader.

As the four walked towards the door the turian slipped an arm around Tali's waist who remained oblivious as she was lost in thought of what she will do when she sees Shepard again.

''Come on sugar were I'm sure you will love the place.'' whispered the turian.

As they made their way across the bar several patrons cast envious glances at the three man taking away the lithe quarian who had publicly showed everyone just how flexible she could be.

As the group neared the door it swung open and the group that stood there were transfixed at the familiar sight of Tali slumped around the shoulders of a menacing Turian.

Immediately Shepard went into a fighting crouch and balled his fists. ''let her go you bastards!'' he seethed through clenched teeth.

''Pffft get your own prize.'' replied the leader causally pulling out a wickedly barbed and obviously well used knife. ''Now why don't you turn around before I make you sh*t sideways.''

''Not before I cave in your chest.'' came Miranda's cooled threat.

''Or before I cripple your nervous system.'' piped up Mordin his Omni-tool already springing to life.

''Is that so?'' came the turians deep voice pulling out a worn hatchet as the weasel faced man slipped a old revolver from his jacket.

''Coz it seems that you 3 don't that kinetic barriers on.'' smiled the man. ''And it seems your also outnumbered.''

At this remark he noticed several of the rougher bar patrons stalking forwards. ''you seriously thought it was just us three?'' the turian gave a short bark of a laugh.

''Hey Shepard *hick* fancy seeing you here?'' giggled Tali still unaware of the toxic situation brewing around her.

Before he could answer sounds could be heard towards the back of the bar and storming in from the back door came the ragged group of Joker, Kasumi, Kelly, Chakwas and Zaeed who sported a bleeding red line slashed across his cheek.

''Hey Shep hope we didn't miss the fun.'' asked Kasumi as the two also took combat stances while Kelly Chakwas and Joker merely stood behind them in an attempt to look threatening.

''Well well, it seems we have another pretty two things to join our little 'after drink party.'' said the leader. ''but since there is more you of, I guess I will have to call on the ace.'' turning towards a darkened alcove he promptly shouted . ''Hey Francis your up.''

Knowing he knew the name from somewhere the shock that was etched on Shepard's face would almost have been comical if the situation were different, as the huge mountain of muscle's and scale stomped towards the centre of bar calmly looking at each of the two groups respectively.

''Sup.''

''Oh no.'' groaned Shepard.

''Oh no.'' cursed Joker.

''Oh yeah!'' was heard in a mighty bellow before a huge hole in the western wall of the club came crashing through and stood there was a eight foot tall krogan with a series of big bags stitched to his back. ''The Grunt-A-Saurus rex is here to fight for you battle master.''


Not knowing how to respond to this newest entrance the entire bar became filled with awed silence.

''Hey do you hear chanting?'' asked Jacob.

''Of course I hear chanting!'' swore Jack. ''It means we are on the right track.''

The duo made their way in the low dark tunnel in silence until they final walked into a large dome like cave. Doted around the cave were several LED lamps connected to an old coughing generator, and broken pieces of furniture were placed together in clumps were the floor wasn't covered in filth , trash and broken pieces of metal and plastic that were scattered all over the cave making a stealthy entrance all but impossible though they just hoped it would be masked by the sound of chanting echoing through out the cavern.

In the centre of the cave they saw the mob all in equally fanatic state's of dance and worship all shouting in tones of pain and ecstasy in equal parts. Fires were erected slowly filling the ceiling in a hazy blackness. And all of this was directed to the tied down Turian sitting atop a relatively plush chair with a priceless crown thrown on his head.

''Hey that's Garr- OW! Son of a b*tch.'' swore Jack.

''What?'' hushed Jacob

''I kicked something.'' she complained reaching down into the filth only to pull out something that golden gleam had driven men to do horrible and glorious things alike and the mere mention of its name had led armies to war. In Jacks hand was a solid lump of gold.

''GOLD!'' shouted Jack amazed that such a thing could be found here, that is until she looked around and noticed that lying half covered in patched of dirt and grime the same golden glint could be found.

''O jesus! look at it all!''

''Jack?''

''I mean look at it all!''

''Jack?'' asked Jacob again.

''What!'' she scolded

He merely nodded his head forwards and as she followed the motion ,the lump of gold rolled out of her hand forgotten: the entire cult were there stood as if frozen , all of them had their heads turned towards them. Then at some unknown signal they began to pace towards to intruders.

''Well Sh*t.'' said Jack with a hint of finalism.
