Deserted
Garrus had never seen the Normandy so empty before. The mess was usually full of people, chatting about the team or past missions or just dining on a meal. But now, it was completely and utterly deserted.
Every level of the ship was empty. All the crew was gone. The Collectors had taken them while Shepard was away thus making the suicide mission even more desperate than before. Garrus knew Shepard was upset. She had to initiate the mission now to save her crew. That's the kind of women she was. Leave no one behind.
At the moment though, Garrus couldn't stop thinking about what he and Shepard had talked about. They had both agreed to 'blow off steam' together but Shepard never specified a time. Right now seemed like as good a time as any since the mission he was about to partake on was suicide. He might not see tomorrow.
And Shepard needed him tonight. And he needed her too.
