As Kalo Tzhang grabbed the beers for the day with John and their families when he saw his wife Rebecca talked to John by com and said "He is right here John" and as she let Kalo talk to John she whispered to him "Tell him that he cant smoke in front of the kids, if he's going to smoke then he can do it in the yard alright Kalo?".

Kalo answered "I'll tell him don't worry". Rebecca only said "I thought he was quitting". Kalo replied honestly "I thought so too". with that Rebecca walked off to help their 4 year old daughter Amy who was tidying up her toys in the living room.

John said "Hey Kalo" as his son Billy grabbed his leg he said quietly to his 7 year old son "Hey Billy please I'm on com" Sara immediately got Billy to go and get his coat as Kalo said "Better be on the way game starts soon".

John grabbed a pack of smokes as he said "We're running a little behind, if we beat the traffic we'll be there by halftime".

As John then took out a cigarette Sara took the pack and cigarette from him as John said "Its an oral fixation". Sara rolled her eyes and put drinks in the cooler as John asked "How's the case going?".

Kalo only said "Look forget the case, enjoy the time off with Sara and Billy John". John only said "Any ideas on who blew the op?".

Kalo then said "An internal investigation has been launched at Executor Pallin's order and so far they found nothing at all".

John was silent for a few minutes before he asked "Well its obvious that someone talked, someone deep inside very close to us and the case. Is there any word at all on what happened to Rogue at the hanger?".

Kalo answered "the council let us search the entire lake for 4 days nothing and we never found the body or any sign of it all, must have been sucked up by 1 of the turbines and is duct rat food by now". Kalo then decided to change the subject as he said "Game starts in 30 John and don't forget the steaks".

John replied "I didn't forget the steaks alright jeez 1 time, when are you going to let that go already Kalo".

Kalo answered "Rebecca asked me to check and also to tell you that …". John interrupted him by saying "I heard her Kalo, no smoking in front of the children".

John shut off the com and yelled out "Sara we have to drop off by a shop on the way and get some steaks!".

As Kalo and his family got ready for a nice day with friends unaware that a car pulled up nearby and a man in a leather jacket looked at a photo of Kalo and John and then took out his Brawler pistol and got out of the car and started to walk towards the house.

Kalo was in the bathroom when said loudly "Rebecca are they here yet?". when he got no answer and heard something that sounded like a scream he left the room and saw Rogue in front of him and the assassin opened fire hitting him in the face as he dragged Kalo into the living room and stepped on Kalo's back and pointed his gun at him and had his finger on the trigger before he turned the gun on Rebecca and Amy as he opened fire twice and Kalo yelled out as it was done And after that Rogue opened fire again.

An hour later

As John and Sara were getting near the house they saw smoke coming up from nearby and that C-Sec officers were all over the area. John told Sara and Billy to stay in the car as he went to see what was going on.

When he to the cordoned off area and entered a Turian officer came up to him and said "You cant be here sir". John ignored him and asked "What happened here?".

The Turian replied "Look you need to leave now sir". John showed his C-Sec credentials and the Turian said "We have 3 dead in a fire and we suspect it was arson, the victims are 1 male, 1 female and 1 dead little girl all human".

As John saw 1 body was being moved in a body bag John told those who carrying it to a nearby vehicle et him look at the body and while the Turian was protesting this action, John opened the body bag and knew who it was despite the bad burns he saw the weeding ring and fell to ground as he started to cry, it was Kalo him and his family were dead.

John then entered the ruins of the house and started to look around for evidence and as he stated in the living room he found something and knew what it was as the Turian came in and said "Sir we need to finish looking at the scene, you need to leave now sir".

John only left the house as he left he took what he found out his pocket and looked at the titanium shell and now knew that this wasn't arson this was murder and he knew it was Rogue and John only had 1 thing on his mind right now and that was revenge.

Well that's chapter 2 completed please let me know what you all think of it read and review no flames though ok.
