Paths to Vengeance
Chapter 7 double dealing
Authors notes I don't own Mass Effect Bioware does and this fic is a slight crossover with the film War, just so you all know.
And I recommend that all my readers check out the fics written by Angels Anthem, Appa Appa Away, LongLiveThe Clones, XxheavendragonxX, Aurora Lunar 0Love This0, Icehockeychic4 and Canadiancloneluver as they are seven of the best writers on this site in my opinion. And please if you read this fic let me know what you think of it good or bad comments let me know as I want your opinions on it.
Well that's enough of an authors note on with chapter 7.
Citadel Tyserial ward docks
As John arrived at the scene of the shooting with Andrew, D came over to him and said "This was serious John, Blood Pack all them and they were shot in the back, execution style".
As John and the others looked at the bodies John said "This was a heist, their ship is missing and to have this many Blood Pack here means that it was obviously very important to them, so why did they line up here against the wall to get shot in back and do it unarmed".
Andrew only said "There'd only be 1 thing that would stop these guys from getting into a fire-fight, C-Sec".
Danny then said "Or they thought that they were C-Sec, or maybe corrupt C-Sec agents".
Jamitr suddenly said "Wait a minute are you telling me that C-Sec did this massacre?".
Andrew answered "If they didn't Jamitr then they were involved in what happened here tonight". Jamitr shook his head and said "No way would C-Sec officers do this, for all we know it have been a rival group like the Blue Suns that done this heist not Aria T'Loak like you think John".
Razicu walked over to them and said "We have bigger problems now guys, the Blood Pack just attacked the Eclipse's main base here on the Citadel thinking that they are responsible for this massacre and they are gearing up to retaliate big time. If we don't take them down soon, this could turn into a shooting war that could spread across all of Citadel Space and the Terminus Systems".
John nodded in agreement as they continued to look over the crime scene.
Citadel Zuckera ward the next morning
John and Danny entered the steakhouse and walked over to the C-Sec captain and as John dropped his toothpick on the steak the captain looked up as he said "I assume that you know just who the fuck your dealing with right now, don't you Spectre?".
John answered "I know who I'm dealing with, captain. You're a corrupt cop, you give gangs like the Blue Suns, Blood Pack and Eclipse free passes to smuggle shit on or off the Citadel. And you helped Aria T'Loak get a shipment from the Blood Pack last night, and you betrayed the Blood Pack in the process".
John then grabbed Graham and threw him into the bathroom and as C-Sec agents stood up to help their captain Danny said "Stay right where you are, this is Spectre business".
As Graham was thrown into a stall he turned around and saw John had a pistol pointed at his head and the Spectre said "Look inside and tell me, do you see the bullet?. Do you see it?".
Graham yelled out "I see it!". John merely kept the gun pointed at Graham as he asked "Why did you do it, why did you turn on the Blood Pack and help Aria T'Loak steal the shipment from them?".
Graham answered with fear in his voice "He'd said he'd kill me, he'd said he'd kill my family".
John only asked "Who was it?". Graham answered "I don't know who he is". John then was about to fire as he said "Your lying captain".
Graham yelled out "I don't know who I swear!, all I know is that he works for Aria T'Loak!. He knows where I live, he knows where my children go to school!".
Graham nearly burst into tears as John lowered the gun and said "You stupid bastard what do you think the Blood Pack will do once they learned you betrayed them or for that matter what the Blue Suns will do for you planting evidence that they carried out the hit and not Aria T'Loak".
John then led Graham outside and said to Danny "Have C-Sec take his statement and get some C-sec agents to his house as soon as possible and place his family into protective custody right now".
Danny nodded as Graham was suddenly shot through the chest and John saw the shooter on a rooftop across the street and he knew who it was, it was Rogue.
John then told his agents to circle round the building while he went after the shooter and Danny called for C-Sec backup and a medical team to tend to Graham wounds immediately.
And at that same moment Rogue had gotten rid of the sniper rifle and was heading down to the ground floor when he saw C-Sec agents were coming after him and Rogue went back up the roof and started to run from rooftop to rooftop and soon he lost his pursuers but he knew whom was leading them it was John Crawford former C-Sec agent turned Spectre.
John looked at his agents when Rogue got away and they said "He's gone sir, don't where he went". And as John looked at Danny the sniper said "Grahams dead John".
John's response was to kick a nearby crate in anger that they had failed to get Rogue and now their only lead was dead as well. And John had to wonder if this day could actually get any worse then it already was.
