Paths to Vengeance
Chapter 20 shootouts
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.
Also 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.
And lastly I recommend that all of readers have a look at the work written by Guardian Kitch as the work that author has written is very, very good.
Well that's enough of an authors note on with chapter 20.
The Citadel Presidium level
Members of the Terminus Organised Crime Unit were watching the Bazazu bar which was a know hangout for members of the Blood Pack and as Danny Carl and Andrew observed Harizi Wrang the son of the Krogan warlord founder of the Blood Pack Ganar Wrang and his top lieutenants enter the bar in a very celebratory mood.
And at least 10 minutes after Harizi Wrang and his entourage arrived Danny observed several cars pull up near the bar and then saw the Blood Pack guard standing at the back door of the bar get shot in the head at close range with a silenced pistol.
Danny then said to Andrew "Contact Crawford and the others and call C-Sec for backup let them know the gang war is starting here and now".
As the shooter of the doorman revealed himself Danny saw through his scope that it was Grizz Aria's second in command and his own hit squad were with him ready to avenge the death of Grizz's brother.
The Citadel Zuckara Ward
As Crawford was heading back to the headquarters after a day of spending time with his son Billy he got a call over his Omni Tool and answered as he said "I'm here what's going on Andrew?".
The former N7 marine answered "We got trouble here, Grizz and his men just showed up, exactly like you said they would". Crawford only said "I'm on my way there now Andrew". Andrew simply replied "Copy that".
Crawford only turned his car around and headed to the Bazazu bar and along the way he contacted the other members of the taskforce as well as C-Sec letting them know what was going down.
Bazazu Bar
As Grizz's team entered the bar through the back entrance they killed all the chefs there and moved to surround the private room where Harizi and his men were. And as more members of Grizz's team entered through the front entrance ot complete the trap they heard Harizi and the others laughing and just as Grizz and his team were about to open up a Krogan yelled out "Look out!".
Some of the Blood pack heard the warning and ducked in time to live while others weren't so lucky. And as the Blood Pack members took out their weapons they retaliated against Grizz and his men by opening fire.
Meanwhile outside the bar as Blood Pack members started to arrive to deal with the attackers Danny started taking them out with his M-97 Viper sniper rifle while Andrew opened up on them with a M-76 Revenant assault rifle.
Andrew then used his com to contact Danny and said "I'm going in Danny cover me!". As Andrew got to the ground level and opened fire on Blood Pack members as he got behind cover near the bar
At the same time inside the Bazazu Bar Grizz's men burst into the room where Harizi and his remaining men were hiding and as Grizz shot Harizi twice in the chest he said in his native tongue "This is for my brother". A Batarian next to him said "He's dead come on!".
Outside the bar a few of the remaining Blood Pack got into a car and shot in all directions as they were looking to get away and fight another day and as Crawford crashed his car into them he shot them with his pistol before he got out and ran next to the entrance of the bar along with Andrew. Crawford said "On three". Andrew didn't hear him as he heard the sounds of sirens nearby and took out his pistol as he ran out of assault rifle ammo and asked curiously "What?".
Crawford then said "Three" and ran inside the bat with Andrew following he said to himself "Shit" and Danny left his position to link up with the others.
As Crawford and Andrew entered the bar Crawford saw a Turian with a pistol waiting to ambush them and shot him dead with a quick headshot. With that Crawford and Andrew now joined by the other members of the taskforce led by Razicu and Jamitr.
They surrounded the remaining members of Grizz's team along with Grizz himself and as they began to place the gang members under arrest Crawford said on the com "This is Crawford, situation is secure, all units stand down".
Suddenly a sniper opened fire from nearby and killed 2 of Girzz's men who were in custody. Crawford then yelled on the com "Damn it Danny!, I said cease fucking fire!".
As the sniper shot at another gang member Jamitr whispered to Crawford "Danny's right there" and as Crawford saw that Danny was there with them and Razicu said "We have a sniper here guys".
Danny went outside and got behind cover as he saw the sniper and shot at him, but missed as the sniper got away safely. And as Jamitr and Razicu went outside to help Danny cover the entrance. Grizz took out a knife and stabbed the Salarian who was holding him and as Crawford grabbed Grizz and shoved him against the wall Andrew went over to help and unknown to everyone Harizi Wrang sat back up bleeding and had a loaded gun in his hand and just as Andrew was about to help Crawford Harizi shot him the back of the neck.
Using the distraction Grizz elbowed Crawford in the face and ran out the back exit of the bar as members of the Blood Pack came out of hiding holding knives and pistols determined to take out Crawford. And Crawford quickly shot or stabbed them as he ran over to Andrew and checked his pulse and was relieved to see that Andrew was still alive.
Crawford then walked over to Harizi who kept firing his gun, but nothing came out as it was jammed and as Harizi reached over to the other side of the table to grab a pistol Crawford stabbed the Krogan in the hand with a knife.
Harizi then yelled out in agony "Fuck you!" and as Crawford kept his gun on Harizi as the angry Krogan said "On Tuchanka, you'd be dead".
Crawford only answered "This isn't Tuchanka" and then shot Harizi in the face with his pistol.
Crawford then left the bar as other members of the taskforce and of C-Sec arrived and as he got into his car Crawford saw a G56 Gunazi air car take off and he saw who was the driver. It was Rogue.
Crawford immediately went after the assassin and Rogue knew that Crawford was on him and headed directly into rush hour traffic to avoid him. However Crawford stayed on him and as they entered a tunnel Crawford swerved to avoid a truck and crashed into a nearby wall, putting the car out of commission.
And when Rogue saw his tail was no longer following him he smiled and headed off back to the Normandy. At the same time Crawford emerged from what remained of his car and punched the wall in anger, Rogue had gotten away again.
