Pieces by Hoobastank

Kaidan was in the corner of the bar in Flux trying to enjoy the solitary evening. Usually he would have asked Chavis to join him, but after seeing Shepard today, he needed a break. Unfortunately for him, fate was not his friend. As he lifted his glass to drink his beer, he saw her walk in. His jaw dropped at the sight of his former lover as she walked into Flux by herself. And he was pretty sure he saw other guys were drooling over her too.

Shepard had a pair of tight black jeans on with a pair of black heeled boots on. But what gaining the attention of the men was her top. She wore a tight lacy, dark gunmetal blue overbust corset. Her newly whitened hair was half pulled back low on her head allowing a few stray strands to fall in her face. Her blacken lips tilted up as she saw Wolf descending from the top of the stairs. She closed her eyes as he made his way toward her, his fingers touching the pendant hanging from her collar. It was of the fleur-de-lis, an Italian symbol. It was something he had given to her.

Kaidan's glass shattered in front of him as he watched Wolf touch Shepard's neck. His teeth grinded as the man took Shepard's hand and led her back up the stairs.

The bartender whistled. "I feel bad for all the men here…"

"Why is that?" Kaidan asked.

"Because White Lotus women are hard to get a hold of," He answered. "To protect them, Wolf himself or their second Fox has to approve of them."

"You know Wolf?"

"Mmm…" The bartender answered. "He used to come in here a while back, before he moved out into the Terminus, before Fox disappeared."

"Fox?" The Sentinel asked. "Who's that?"

"No one really knows what Fox looks like," the bartender answered. "He's the illusive second hand of White Lotus, said to have been equal to Wolf. But no one has seen Fox in years."

Kaidan looked up to see Wolf and Shepard standing side by side near the railing of the upper floors. His eyes narrowed. What business did she have with a gang leader?

Shepard smiled as she recognized some of the White Lotus members. They immediately rose to greet her with kisses to the back of her hand and cheek.

"Ah Madonna Volpe you're back! (my Lady Fox)"

"Mia regina is back!"

"Okay, okay…back off." Wolf said as he wrapped his arm around Shepard's waist.

"Don't hog her all night Wolf! We want a few dances before our beloved bella donna (beautiful woman) leaves us again." One of the guards said. A few of the other men agreed causing Shepard to smile.

"Tell you what guys, you let me and Wolf talk and I'll dance the night away." She said. The guys cheered and decided a round on Wolf was in order.

Wolf shook his head and led Shepard over to the railing over the dance floor. "So, how have you been?"

"Better, still teetering on the edge of a breakdown but I'll deal with it." She answered while leaning forward on the railing.

"I'm sorry I didn't feel you die," He said in a whisper. "You are my sister, I should have."

"Don't make me go back Brian," Shepard whispered looking at the man. "Thanks for taking over the repairs by the way all my accounts were becoming a bit light."

The man known as Brian aka Wolf, let out a laugh. "No problem mia sorella (my sister)." He grinned at her. "I got your message on Freedom's Progress."

"And I got yours on Horizon," Shepard said with a bitter voice. Brian raised an eyebrow but Shepard waved him off. "I had EDI send Alma the information on the Reapers we had. I figured if anyone will back me, my brother and the White Lotus will."

"I don't like it, but I'll get Julian on it." Brian answered turning to beckon of the man over. Shepard's eyes widened as she turned to see the taller man. He had spiky brown hair and dark brown eyes.

"Julian!" She hugged the man as he came up to her.

"Welcome back Fox," he said as he let his slightly muscular body hug her back. "I assume I get to be assigned to your dirty work."

"Oh you enjoy my dirty work," Shepard answered with a sly smirk.

"That I do," He sighed happily.

"Alright, now that business is done." Brian said before turning to his men. "I am going to be escorting the Madonna Volpe to the dance floor, after me she's free game guys!"

Cheers went around as Brian took Shepard hand, raising it a bit and escorted her back down the stairs. He pulled her onto the dance floor as a slow song started up. He spun her around before pulling her up against his body.

"I see you got your wings like you wanted," He said as his fingers reached up to caress the wings on the back of her shoulders.

"It helps hide the scars," Shepard answered. She leaned her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes enjoying being in his embrace. "You are the only one in this universe right now that will trust me Brian," She whispered. "You don't know how much that means to me."

He leaned down and kissed her bare shoulder as the song came to an end. "You are important to me mia sorella, I will never forsake you." Pulling away he kissed her on her forehead before turning to see one of the men was already to take his place. "For now, enjoy yourself, I'll take of everything. Drinks are on me." He smirked and left her to dance with their friends.

For the last few hours Kaidan watched as various men danced with Shepard. He saw her laugh as they looked up at gang leader causing both Wolf and Shepard to smile. But the one that particular rubbed him the wrong way was a spiky browned haired man. He watched carefully as the man brought Shepard over to the bar to get a drink. She leaned over the bar and flagged the bartender down.

"Hey barkeep, the strongest martini you have!" She said with a smile.

"Shall I open up a tab?" The bartender asked.

"No, our drinks will be going on Wolf's tab." The man beside Shepard said. "I'll have a glass of scotch." The man behind the bar nodded and began to prepare the drinks.

"It's great to be able to relax like this." Shepard said as the man put his hand on her bare shoulders.

"The rest of your crew?" He asked.

"Garrus took anyone who wanted out to the Dark Star Lounge. No one wanted to come this far up the Citadel." She shifted and turned toward her companion giving Kaidan full view of her back to see the top of the wings tattoo she had.

"Well Madonna Shepard," He said as their drinks were served. He took a sip of his scotch and looked at her. "Shall we continue our dance?"

Shepard took a drink of martini that she was sure had Asari liquor in it. Licking her lips she smiled up at Julian, "You know you don't have to call me Shepard."

"Well you know me, I like the keep things in perspective." He leaned against the bar with a smirk. "So tell me, Hellcat, What do you want to do?"

Kaidan felt himself stiffen as the man said Shepard's nick name. She told him that she only let people she really trusts with that information. It was something of a trust issue with her. It had even taken him a few weeks after Saren to find out because of it. If she told it to that man…

"Oh!" She liked this song! Shepard gulped down the rest of her drink as before grabbing Julian's hand. "Dance with me, like we used Julian." She pleaded.

He watched as the man known as Julian knock back the rest of his scotch before grabbing Shepard's hand and pulling it to his lips. "Anything for mia regina," He said before pulling her back onto the dance floor as a fast tempo song with a loud base began. Kaidan's fist tightened as he watched Shepard grind back against the man with fervor. He heard catcalls and whistles and looked up to see Wolf and his men watching cheering the man on.

"Go Julian! Shake that ass!"

"That-a-boy!"

"That's how you dance with a woman!"

"Dance with me like that my belladonna!"

Julian smiled as Shepard spun around to face him and lifted her leg as she rocked her hips. "Just like old times?"

"Yep," She panted as she leaned back, while keeping a hand on his neck. Julian leaned forward and kissed her collar bone as the song ended. When he pulled her up she was laughing.

Next thing Julian knew, he was being thrown against the wall by biotics. He groaned when his head snapped back against the wall. Brian raised his hand to stop his men from going down the as he jumped over the railing to land on the dance floor. He stayed in the corner watching as the people on the dance floor scattered away.

"Kaidan stop!" Shepard said as she rushed to the Sentinel before he could step any closer to the scene. Kaidan tried to push past Shepard only to have her step in front of him, her hands on his chest. "What are you doing?"

"You are just going to let him touch you like that?" Kaidan growled. When he saw Julian kiss her collar, he snapped. He couldn't let just anyone touch her! Growling a bit more, he reached out for her. Shepard narrowed her eyes as Kaidan grabbed her and pulled her out of Flux.

"Julian, are you alright?" Brian asked as he walked over to the man as he stood up.

Julian rubbed the back of his head. "I'm going to have a goose egg, but it's nothing compared to your throws."

"Keep everyone in the bar and get a round of drinks on my tab."

"Bri?"

"I'm going to make sure she comes out of this okay." He said as he exited the bar to see Shepard glaring at Kaidan.

"What does it matter to you what I do anymore? You still think I'm a traitor." She spat as she watched Kaidan pace back and forth.

The man was flaring with biotics as he tried to pace off some of his anger. She was acting like they never happened, like he meant nothing to her. "Was everything a lie Dru? Was I some kind of rebound guy?"

"No! Nothing I've said or done has been a lie with you Kaidan!" Shepard answered. "Why would you ever think that?"

"Let me see," He sneered. "You have a new tattoo; you are dressing differently, and the thing on the dance floor. You never did that when we were together. Let's not forget the fact that you are discussing business with a gang leader."

"I love you Kaidan, but you, the Council and the Alliance abandoned me when I came back. Wolf is the only one who will listen and help. I've only just recently was able to talk with after finding Alma." Shepard felt some of her anger disappear. "There are parts of my life before the Alliance that you don't know about Kaidan. Being able to talk casually with Wolf is one of them."

"Is being a whore one of them?" He asked in anger before he could stop himself. His eyes widened as he looked at Shepard to see her staring in shock at him. "Shepard…I didn't…" His eyes were suddenly facing the wall as a stinging pain came to his right cheek.

"How dare you!" She glared viciously at him. "You don't know anything about my past other than I was with the Reds. Just because I am dressed this way and I had a bit of fun I'm a whore? Well news for you Kaidan, unlike you I didn't sleep with anyone! After everything we have been through in the past I'd expect you to know me better than that!" She began shaking as her biotics tried to surface but she didn't let them. "Well unless you pay me, this whore is going to leave." She spun around and headed for the exit. "Goodnight Wolf, tell Julian I'm sorry."

Kaidan turned to see Wolf walk up beside him. "Good job Alliance, way to talk to the lady."

"What do you want?" Kaidan hissed.

"Nothing, I was just here to make sure Shepard didn't hurt herself." Brian eyed the man. "But I see I failed since she decided to trust you enough to let you slip into her bed and heart."

"How would you know that?"

"There are no secrets between Shepard and me…and with the way she is acting, it's obvious. I've never seen her, this emotional," He answered. "By the way, the reason Julian and Shepard are close…is because he saved her from being raped when she was younger, back before the Alliance." Brian watched in satisfaction as the man jerked back. Serves the man right. Shepard never told anyone about the White Lotus or about her truth.

Now he felt like a total prick. How could he have called her that? How could he let his anger get a hold of him? For some reason, with her, he always loses control. Kaidan ran his hand over his face and looked at the man with a frown. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because despite what I may think about you for abandoning her, she still holds a flame for you." Brian answered as he turned back to go into the bar. "I owe Shepard enough not to kill you for breaking her heart more than once."

Shepard raced into the Normandy, tears streaming down her face. She didn't think that Kaidan truly felt that way. Was that why he was questioning their past? Did he think she was just playing him? When she got in, Joker's chair was turned around.

"Early night...Are you okay?" Joker stared as he noticed tears on her face. "Commander?" She shook her head and raced further into the ship to the elevator. "EDI where is she headed?"

"Commander Shepard is heading to the medical bay," the ship's AI answered.

"What is she doing?" He questioned as he got up to follow her. He was the only one on the ship. Garrus took most of the crew out for drink while the other half was staying in a hotel courtesy of the White Lotus.

"She is currently rummaging through the sedative pills."

"Damn," He said as he got the elevator and got in. The crew had all seen it coming. The breakdown. They were trying to prep themselves for it, if ever came around. Shepard was strong and just when it looked like she was going to break, she became steel. Joker frowned as waited for the elevator to get the third floor. "Leave Joker on the ship to take care of Shepard while she's breaking down, real smart."

Shepard was going through Chakwas's pills trying to find something that would knock her out enough that the pain would stop. She chucked another bottle out the door as it open to reveal Joker.

"Whoa!" He ducked and stared into the room. It looked like a tornado hit the room. "Commander, are you alright?"

"No I'm not Joker!" She shouted as she tossed away another pill bottle. She couldn't find what she needed.

He knew now was not the time to joke with her and slowly entered the room. "What happened, Shepard?"

"I can't do this anymore Joker," She whispered. "I'm not strong enough to play hero anymore." He frowned as she looked down on the spare desk Chakwas had in the room. It had various papers and pills on it. "I can't even die in peace! I have to be brought back because apparently no one else has the will to do anything about it!" She growled before swiping everything off the desk. "Why couldn't I just stay dead!"

Joker's eyes widened as she went to grab some random bottle of pills. "Shepard no!" He immediately rushed forward and with some unknown strength took the bottle away from her. He knew he couldn't let her fall that hard that she needed to drug herself! Shepard pushed him making him fall back, but not do anymore harm than make him fall on his ass. He sat up and winced as he felt a small fracture in his arm that he landed on.

"Oh god…" She whispered as she backed away from Joker until she hit the wall between the beds. "I'm sorry…I'm sorry." She slid down the wall and pulled her knees to her chest.

The pilot frowned and quickly maneuvered and made his way to sit next to her. "This isn't like you Shepard, looking for pills as a way out. That's more of Jack's M.O." He didn't like when she missed the joke.

"I don't have the strength to survive this anymore Joker," She said. "There is only so much heartache I can endure before it breaks me."

He shook his head and put his arm around Shepard as she began to cry. "You won't break Shepard…you have people behind you that will catch you when you fall." Joker considered it an achievement that his attempt at comfort wasn't ending up in a flaming ball of crap.

She shifted and ended up with her head lying down on his lap. She curled up as small as she could against Joker. The green eyed man used his arm that wasn't injured to put his hand in her hair.

"I may have a lot of people behind me, but not the one who matters most." She said before closing her eyes. Joker stayed quiet as she cried a bit more. He didn't know what happened but he knew Alenko was involved somehow.

"It will be alright Commander," He said. Joker didn't like seeing his Commander like this. His Commander was strong, determined, she didn't cry easily…she wasn't this…

"No it won't…" Shepard whispered back. She sighed and stared at the far wall. "Joker…have I ever acted like a whore?"

Oh he was going to kill Alenko.

After assuring Shepard she has never acted like a whore unlike Miranda, which she laughed at and he was grateful for, she had fallen asleep on the floor next to him.

"EDI, contact Garrus. Tell him to come back to the Normandy with Chakwas, Tali and Kasumi."

"Message sent." EDI said. There was a pause before she spoke again. "Is the Commander going to be alright?"

"I don't think so EDI, I don't know."

Garrus and Tali entered the med-bay with their weapons drawn. Chakwas was behind them with Kasumi and Thane. Samara and Mordin said they would take care of everyone in the bar while they took care of whatever was happening with Shepard. Thane was on his way back to the Normandy anyway when he had seen Garrus and the others running, he joined them as Kasumi explained what happened.

"Joker?" Chakwas called.

"Done here doc!" Joker called. They moved to see Shepard asleep with Joker sitting next to her.

Chakwas gasped as the tear streaks down the Commander's sleeping face and immediately knelt down. "Did she…"

"I stopped her from doing anything stupid when she got here, but she was pretty upset." He said. "And I need my arm looked at."

"What happened?" Garrus asked.

"I'm assuming she had a run in with Alenko and it didn't end well." Joker answered.

"She was supposed to be meeting that White Lotus leader to discuss the fact that he began to finance the repairs." Kasumi said.

"I'm guessing Alenko was at the same place," Garrus answered. "How is she?"

"Physically she's fine," Chakwas answered. "Mentally and emotionally…that's another matter."

"Thane, Kasumi help Joker into a bed. Tali, Chakwas and I will take Shepard to her room." The turian said as he knelt down and lifted his Commander. Tali and Chakwas followed Garrus into the elevator and up to Shepard's room. He placed her on the bed and turned his back, eyeing the hamster while Tali and Chakwas undressed her.

"She was so happy when she left," Tali said as she handed Chakwas the large shirt and sweats she indicated after they removed the jeans and corset. "She said things were starting to finally look up."

Shepard stirred and blinked as she looked at Chakwas. The doctor smiled. "Can you get dressed Shepard?"

"Yeah," She said softly before slipping into the clothing Chakwas held out to her. Shepard didn't spare a glance at Garrus as she went into her bathroom and scrubbed her face clean from the makeup and tears she had shed. As she came back out, she was putting her hair in a messy bun in the back of her head. "I'm sorry you guys had to come back early from the bar. I didn't think Joker would call everyone back like that."

"He only called us and Kasumi, but we found Thane on his way back from visiting Koylat," Chakwas said as she guided Shepard back to her bed. "Everyone else is still out under the watchful eye of Samara."

"I'm sorry," Shepard said again. Tali and Garrus looked at each other. Whatever happened between the two humans it was bad. "Garrus, can you deal with Anderson tomorrow? I don't think I'll be up to it." She said as she lay back down.

"Don't worry about it Shepard," The turian said.

"Thanks guys," She murmured before closing her eyes.

"I'll be back up later to check up on you Commander," Chakwas said as she ushered the aliens out.

They went back down into the Med-bay to see Kasumi and Thane looking a bit angry as well as contrite. The three of the original Normandy crew looked at Joker. Chakwas immediately set out to make an x-ray of his arm to see if there was anything she could do.

"You guys are not going to like this…" Kasumi said.

"What?" Garrus asked.

"Um…from what the Commander was babbling about before she went to sleep, I think Kaidan might have called her…" He scratched his scratched. "I think he might have called her a whore."

"WHAT?" Garrus hissed loudly.

"What a bosh'tet!" Tali agreed.

"Are you sure?" Chakwas asked.

Joker nodded and looked at the Turian and Quarian. "I'm assuming Shepard put you in charge?"

"I'll be going to the meeting tomorrow to explain the information about the Reaper IFF." Garrus answered.

"What about Shepard?" Thane asked quietly.

Silence permeated the room. No one knew what to do to comfort their superior officer.

"What about everyone else?" Kasumi had asked. "They would want to see Shepard."

"EDI can lock the elevator down for anyone trying to head up that way?" Joker suggested.

"The only logical way would to be allowing only us up to her cabin." Thane concluded. "The Doctor can have it ordered and with Garrus in charge, EDI would have to do it."

"Hear that EDI?" Joker questioned.

"I heard Jeff," EDI said. "Locking down elevator shaft going to the loft. Authorizing all personnel in the room for access."

Garrus crossed his arms. "Thane you are coming with me to the meeting tomorrow. I want the women to stay here with Shepard."

"Agreed," Tali said knowing that she would be in charge under Garrus.

"Well, it can't get any worse right?" Kasumi said to no one in particular.

As soon as Garrus and Thane walked into the room, the humans knew something was up. They waited a few more moments before they realized Shepard wasn't going to make an appearance.

"Where is Shepard?" Anderson asked. Wolf was in the room along with Hackett and Kaidan.

The gang leader's eyebrows furrowed together as he clenched his fists. He knew something was up when Shepard left last night. He should have followed her to make sure she was alright.

"Shepard got ill last night," Garrus answered professionally. "Chakwas demanded she stay on the Normandy until she is well again."

"Well, I guess if Chakwas says that…" Anderson murmured knowing how the Doctor could be.

"Will she be alright?" Hackett asked.

Garrus glared at Kaidan as Thane answered. "The Doctor wants Shepard on bed rest for a few days. She thinks the stress of the last few months is weighing down on her."

"Shepard broke down?" Kaidan asked in shock.

Thane looked at Kaidan, before slipping into a memory of last night. "His hand brushes through her hair. His eyes looking up at us, lost at what to do. His hat was skewed, arm broken. Dried moisture shined as lights reflect off her cheeks."

"Krios," Garrus hissed snapping the man out of his memory. Thane merely blinked before turning to Anderson and Hackett.

"Sorry, that memory was not for you."

"What happened?" Anderson questioned.

"Her biotics got out of control as she was searching for some sleeping pills." Garrus said. "Joker was able to find her and settle her down before any lasting damage was done."

"Sleeping pills?" Hackett shifted to sit straighter.

"She's been under a lot of stress sir," Garrus answered. "Stress headaches are what Chakwas called them. Apparently they got too painful last night."

Wolf could see the turian getting agitated from all the questions and shook his head, turning to the two higher ups. "I had Alma give you all the information you saw yesterday. Why am I here?"

Anderson folded his fingers together and leaned forward on his desk looking at the man. "You may be just another gang leader to the council Wolf, but two of us in this room know better. You were leaving something out yesterday."

The man raised an eyebrow as he looked at the Councilor. "There a three unauthorized people in this room David," Wolf said. "You don't want to be bringing my past up now nor can you hold it over my head."

"You were a good man once Wolf," Hackett said. "You should trust us a bit more."

Garrus and Thane silently watched as the human's eyes flickered from violet to a silver-blue color. Interesting…they haven't seen a human's eyes do that before.

"Trust you?" Wolf said skeptically. "You want me to trust you?" He stepped began to walk forward from the balcony he was standing beside. "The only reason I am here right now is because of Shepard. If it wasn't for her, you would have been dead two years ago." He glanced from Anderson, to Hackett, to Alenko. "Every single one of you." Wolf turned away to pace by the balcony again. "I am here as a formality to her since I am the one who will be funding her and her crew during her new mission."

"Funding her?" Kaidan turned to Anderson in question.

"What did you think kid? That the Alliance would take her back?" Wolf snorted. "Not after being touched by Cerberus, they won't trust her like they use to…hell even then it was a struggle."

"That's hitting below the belt Wolf," Hackett rumbled with a glare.

"Don't tell me you haven't been a part of those High Brass discussions Hackett." Wolf said turning to glare at the man. "You are not the only one with spies Admiral."

"That is against our agreement Wolf!" Hackett rose to his full height.

"So is you impeding on my territory old man!" The gang leader growled as he straightened.

"Enough," Garrus said looking at the humans. "I am not here to watch you humans figure out which has more secrets under their skin. I am here to answer any questions Anderson might have on the information on the IFF."

Anderson was grateful for the interruption despite the fact the two mean were staring each other down from across the room. "This is from an actual Reaper?"

"Should have brought Kasumi," Thane murmured to Garrus as he nodded to Anderson. The turian smirked at his drell companion before turning complete to the human Councilor.

"Yes," Garrus answered shortly. Knowing Shepard didn't want Legion to get pulled into the Alliance's view of her, he gave a short and simple report about their mission to get the IFF. "We ended up making it fall into the star."

"She always does make life more exciting," Kaidan said as he looked at Garrus. The turian didn't look at him but the drell did. Alenko felt himself straighten as the gaze as though it was piercing through him.

"Indeed," Thane said before shifting his gaze to Hackett and Anderson.

"You used the IFF to navigate the Omega Relay didn't you?" The Admiral said more than asked. "What happened there?"

Garrus glanced at Thane before focusing on the humans. "Shepard would rather explain that to you in person."

"Why wait? Is there something important that she needs to say to us about it?" Anderson asked.

Thane stepped forward. "Commander Shepard and Garrus split up for the first half of the mission. While Garrus and our team encountered drones of Collectors, Shepard was the one that had more interaction and scope with them."

Wolf turned to Thane as he walked closer to the two aliens. "What do you mean interaction?"

"When the Collectors hit the Normandy, they didn't hit it as a random ship." Garrus answered. "They hit it because they were specifically targeting her."

Kaidan let out a hiss of breath at the news. He had never gotten any confirmation about the Collectors hitting the Normandy. Anderson always stonewalled him. Now he knew the truth. He opened his mouth to ask more questions, when Wolf spoke.

"Is there any confirmation about that?"

Thane turned to the White Lotus leader. "Shepard had interactions with a Reaper known as Harbinger, who was taking control of the Collectors from dark space."

"It spoke with her?" Wolf sounded deeply concern. "In her mind or like Sovereign on Virmire?"

Anderson turned to the young man. "I wasn't aware that you had kept up with the Alliance reports Wolf."

"You fail to be aware of a lot of things Anderson." Wolf narrowed his eyes at the Councilor.

"You walk a thin line already Wolf, don't try to push me." Anderson replied showing his backbone.

Wolf's biotics flared to life around, spiraling around him like a whirlpool. Kaidan was up with his pistol aimed at the man as he took a step toward the two Alliance officials. "I am not one to be pushed around by the Alliance anymore Councilor. Remember our agreement. The fact is has lasted these past two years is because I was doing what the Alliance should have been doing since Cerberus defected!"

"What the Alliance does is none of your concern anymore Wolf!" Hackett said to the man.

"If I have to clean up your messes it damn well does!" Wolf tried to step closer only to have Kaidan step in front of him, his pistol aimed at his heart. Growling, Wolf glared down at the shorter man before letting his biotics fade. "Get your pet out of my face Anderson."

"Alenko…" Anderson called. "It's alright, he won't do any harm right now. Not while Shepard's teammates are here."

Garrus tilted his head to the side as he gave Wolf an appraising look. The human raised his eyebrow at the turian and crossed his arms. Giving the turian equivalent of a smirk, Garrus nodded to the man. If he had enough balls to threaten the Alliance and the Councilman, he was good in Garrus's book.

Kaidan stood tensely in his spot. He watched as the gang leader relaxed while Garrus stared him down. Frowning, he began to wonder what exactly was Wolf's past with the Alliance? This couldn't be a coincidence. Anderson would never let someone talk to him like that.

"Do you have any other information concerning Cerberus?" Wolf needed to know if they had any information that Alma missed.

Garrus nodded. "We have information on the Illusive Man and vague inner workings of the organization." He pulled out some OSD disks from slot in his armor. "Shepard wanted me to explain the different divisions and the financial support Cerberus has."

Anderson nodded. "Then let us proceed."
