Take the Shot

Crouched low against the wall, hidden and unaware that he was even in the room. Garrus listened to the thugs as they interrogated Dr. Michel. He had to do something. He wasn't going to listen to them kill her. Suddenly the med-bay door opened and there she was, the Commander. She aimed her gun and the thugs took notice. Garrus stood up and reacted. He fired his pistol without realizing where. Down fell the thug holding Michel. The Commander cleaned up the rest. Once everybody had calmed, he thanked the Commander for her help. She revolted and told him he was crazy for shooting so close to the hostage. She wasn't yelling, but her voice was firm. And beautiful to his ears. He asked if he could join her team. To his surprise she agreed. As they walked out of the med-bay, she gave him a wink before brushing past him. He didn't know what it meant, but it had to be something good.
