Paths to Vengeance
Chapter 8 meetings and news
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 8.
Omega Blood Pack warehouse
The Krogan Wranchi was furious when he received word that the shipment never left the Citadel and said to his second in command Tazaki "The shipment is gone. I want you to go after all of them, Blue Suns, Eclipse, Aria, Roma 1 and take them all out now. And get the shipment back before Ganar kills us all for failure".
Tazaki only said "Say the word sir and I will kill all of them". Wranchi nodded and was about to order the hits be done when Harizi entered the room and said "Your both giving out orders and my father hasn't given you approval to do it yet".
Wranchi then said "Harizi you honour us with your presence, why are you here?".
Harizi answered "I bring word from my father, you are to do nothing until he says so, understand". Wranchi only said "The shipment was stolen, if we don't act then we will look weak in front our enemies".
Harizi put a knife to Wranchi and pointed a pistol at Tazaki as he said "You dare to disobey my father do as he says or I'll do away with you both right now".
Wranchi then said "Ganar's command will be done, I assure you Harizi". Harizi nodded and put away his knife and pistol as the order was soon given out.
Citadel Presidium level apartment complex
Rogue drank a glass of water as he opened a communication channel on his Omni-Tool and once contact was established he made the call and when he heard the voice of Spectre John Crawford he said "Spectre John Crawford?".
John only asked "Who is this?" and he heard a distorted voice reply "A messenger".
John said in a sarcastic tone of voice "A messenger huh?" Before he got serious and asked "The C-Sec captain at the restaurant, was killing him part of your message too?".
The voice answered "That man was a corrupt cop. I only did what you wanted to do".
John only angrily said "Just what in the hell do you know about what I want you miserable fuck?".
Rogue replied "I saw it in your eyes John".
John then said "Oh yeah did you now. Tell me what did you see exactly?".
The distorted voice answered "Pain. Rage. Loneliness".
John was silent for a few moments before he said "I'll tell you what. Why don't the two of us meet up in my shrink's office and discuss it?".
Rogue then said "Do you want the shipment the Blood Pack had stolen from them? Warehouse 17 Tyserial ward docks. One hour". With that Rogue hung up and John contacted his team.
Citadel Tyserial ward docks
As several C-Sec and Terminus Organised Crime unit vehicles surrounded the warehouse the Turians and humans already there were surprised to see them.
John and his team emerged from their car and John said mockingly "What are you all not happy to see us?".
1 human replied "This is private property".
D then said "Well you can all simply RSVP, we came here to party".
John looked at Grizz and said "Grizz Wu, still trying to be a legitimate man instead of a little scumbag bitch for Aria T'Loak?".
Grizz answered "You watch your mouth Spectre. You forget who your talking to here". As D handed Grizz the warrant to search the warehouse John said "Open it". When Grizz did nothing John repeated it again as he said angrily "I said open it now Grizz".
Grizz looked to his brother and said "Open it!".
As Grizz's brother Raducu opened the warehouse door John and his team took out their guns and raised them and when the door was fully opened they saw the entire warehouse was empty aside form a few crates and 1 man standing in the middle of the room wearing an Armani suit.
John moved towards the man as he pointed his pistol at him and said "Put your hands on the back of your head".
As they moved in the man didn't do as instructed John yelled "Right now!". And as John and his team moved into the warehouse Grizz laughed.
The man put his hands up showing he was unarmed John said "Keep those fucking hands up". As Andrew frisked the man he said to John "There are no weapons on him John, he's clean".
Andrew then gave John the mans passport that was on him and John said "Roger Shaw. So that's what your calling yourself now is it?".
Rogue didn't say a single word as John looked through the mans wallet and said "Got a passport from Earth and a security licence from Mars". he handed the wallet to Danny as he said "Run it". John then walked over to Rogue and said to Andrew "Check the rest of the warehouse make sure there is nothing else hidden here".
Andrew nodded as he began the search with some other men and John then said to Rogue "It's you isn't it?".
Rogue didn't say anything in reply as John looked at him and said "Might have had the eye colour changed but still, I remember those eyes, something real familiar about them. After all despite the advances in medical science the eyes are still the 1 major thing that the surgeons cant change completely is it, the eyes. Still they done a hell of a good job on the rest of you. Wouldn't even know you were the same man. But we both know you are aren't you?".
John then walked behind Rogue and asked "So tell me what is a Cerberus hitman doing working for someone like Aria T'loak?".
When he got no answer John knew he needed proof this was Rogue before he could do anything and said "We both know that you can understand me".
The man looked at John and smirked as the spectre said "It was you who contacted me, wasn't it?". when the man didn't say anything John said "What you don't remember?. Well maybe you remember my partner. You do don't you, you remember his name? Kalo Tzhang".
John then walked around as he said "You remember his wife Rebecca, their young 4 year old daughter Amy?. Do remember a house on the Fazilu Ward of the Citadel. A house that you burned to the ground with their bodies still inside? Remember that? Do you remember that?".
When the man said nothing John looked at him face to face and said "Say it. Say it. Say you remember".
And as the man still didn't say a word John yelled out "Say you fucking remember blowing my partners head off!". John then took out his pistol and held right at Rogues face.
Rogue then simply took a deep breath and said calmly "You will only find pain and misery living in the past".
John was tempted to pull the trigger at that point when Danny came up to him and said "John, there's nothing on him, he checks out".
John then said "Its him Danny, I know it".
Danny walked over to John and whispered "So what if it is John?. Look right now we have nothing". As more C-Sec sirens we heard approaching Danny said "Look we'll get him another day. Alright? Right now we wait. We play it smart and we do it right".
After a few moments John lowered the gun and put it back in its holster as he said to Rogue "Another day. And on that day I promise, you and I are going to finish this. Count on that".
John then said to his team "Everyone move out!". John then turned around and used his Omni-Tool to take a picture of Rogue and John now had a picture of Rogue and that was going to make his job a lot easier form now on.
