Chapter 5

Harry point of view

She looked at the admiral for a second. 'Admiral Hackett, it is a pleasure to meet you. 'Harry zeroed her attention on Hackett. She could tell that he has charisma. She almost gave him salute despite her being civilian.

'Admiral to whom do I own the pleasure that you gracious me with your attention.'

She could tell that he was curious about her just from the look in his eyes.

'Actually, I was curious about you. I could tell that you aren't alliance. I also noticed that you know Lieutenant Shepard. So, can the beautiful lady tell me her name?'

Harry was so embarrassed from Hackett compliment. She didn't know what to say. She actually considered him handsome in his own right.

'You are a well known figure in the alliance, so no introduction is needed from your side. I am Harry Shepard Ria's older sister.'

Hackett looked at her and smiled.' It is a pleasure to you. I am quiet sure that you are proud of your sister's accomplishment.'

Harry looked at him and didn't comment. Her reaction surprised Steven. Her facial expressions revealed that she wanted to kill someone.

'It is true that I am proud of my younger sister's accomplishments. Unfortunately, I am protective of my younger sisters and this promotion puts her in a higher level of danger. Besides that who is the idiot that thought about this party in the first place. '

Hackett laughed again .' I can assure you that it is not my idea or Anderson. I should say that this party is unnecessary at all.'

'I hate politicians. I could tell that he wanted to prove this fact in the others faces. After all humans managed to enter the specter troops through taking down the turian's best specter. Fortunately, I know my sister. That's why I called our dearest ambassador an idiot. A biotic, black opps and infiltrators do not like the attention.'

She said that last sentence with a grin that graced her face. She even looked like the cat that got the Canary. For a second he didn't comprehend the cause of her smile untill he noticed that the commander disappeared from her party.

'I am starting to believe that none of you like the attention or being in spot light.'

Harry looked at him and graced him with a smile. 'That's true admiral. Do you think that we should go and annoy the love birds?'

Harry was quite happy that Steven gave her one of his rare smiles. This is dangerous. Harry knew that she started to have feelings towards the admiral. He was mature, calm, collective, and charismatic. There is one more thing she knew. He won't accept her view or ideas, but she is willing to take the risk.

Luna's P.O.V

Luna glanced towards Anderson who was heading towards her. Unfortunately she couldn't ask for any one's help. I am not sure what to do. I think that should leave this party. 'Hello'.

Luna looked behind only to find David standing closer to her. 'Oh, captain Anderson, how are you?'

'I hope that you like the party Shepard after all it is in your sister's honor. It is not every day that a human becomes a specter.'

Anderson looked at her eyes while speaking. He believed that you can see the soul of the person through his eyes. Let's presume that he loved what he saw. Despite her actions and believes in unrealistic creatures that created some distance between and almost half of the crew, he saw kindness and pain in her eyes.

The kind of pain and coldness one can see in the eyes of veteran soldier who saw death and destruction.

Each time he sees this pain in her eyes. He wishes that he can hold and shield her from the rest of the world. He also wishes that he can make her smile like Ria. A carefree smile would light the day of anyone. I am not someone for a one night stands. I wouldn't let her be with some one else except me.

'She is mine and mine alone.'

Anderson didn't notice that he kept looking in her eyes without saying another word. The next thing he noticed is that Luna touched his hand while saying ' Captain, are you alright? '

'Yeah, I am fine. I am sorry, but what did you say.'

'I asked you about councilor Udina. I don't like him at all. I also think he is an idiot. He knows that he has nominated a black opps infiltrator for a position such as a specter. Do you think he knows what he signed for? '

David looked at her for a second then he started laughing. He almost sympathized with Udina. The key word here is almost. If there is something known about black opps or infiltrators in general is that they like troubles. They solve them or create trouble for others. Ria is going to be a thorn in Udina's side. The shepard family are going to make him lose his mind. This is going to be fun to watch. He smiled again and said 'I believe you two are going to have fun with this one. Give him hell.'

'Oh, your wishes are my command captain. We will take a very good care of him for the sake of every alliance soldier who has to deal with him.' The only thing that he could do is laughing.

I am not sure that I should say good luck Udina or bye bye
