A Doctor's Man
Chapter 3 - Blackmailing
Hey guys! Here's #3! It's after The three main missions, before Virmire.
Chloe has been thinking about the last time Her and John met. He has told her she had a beautiful smile, and that had been on her mind ever since.
They have been e-mailing each other, but John barely had time. He had a lot of work to do. The a doctor barely had anyone coming in. He hasn't e-mailed her today, she wondered what he was doing.
Yet, There was one problem that threatened her career as a Civilian Doctor...
She heard her door beep, and she looked to see John.
"John!" The doctor exclaimed happily.
"Hey, Chloe! How are you?" He asked as he walked around the counter.
"It has been lonely," she replied gloomily. Sitting down on patient bed.
"Well, I'm here," John told her with a smile. Sitting across from her.
"Yes, you are. How have you been lately?" She asked.
"I'm exhausted, I know that, but before I laid down to get some rest, I wanted to come see you," he said to her.
"Oh, surely you could visited me later..." She tried to say.
"I was thinking about you, that's why. I felt the need to come by visit," The Commander told her.
Her heart fluttered to his words. She no longer felt alone whenever he came around. She loved talking with him, but at the same time, she doesn't want to pin her problems on him.
Her thoughts brought her a frown she didn't notice, but was noticed by the man in front of her.
"What's wrong?" He asked, concerned.
"Oh...it's nothing..." She said to him.
John got up, went over to her, and sat next to her;
"I care about you, Chloe, throw your problems at me, and I'll handle them."
She gave him that same smile that melted his heart,
"Ok...if you say so,"
"I'm all ears."
The Doctor explained her problem,
"I'm being Blackmailed. I recently gotten a demand for medical supplies from a marketer, here in the Wards."
John looked at her, "Blackmailed?"
"Yes. The Marketer is Molan."
"Molan? I've bought a few upgrades from him, but he didn't seem suspicious at all," John said to her.
"I was wondering if...you could deliver the supplies to him, I don't think I should go down there," The doctor asked of him.
He nodded, "Alright, give me the supplies and I'll deal with it."
She smiled again, "Thank you! I don't know how I can possibly repay you."
John waved it off, "I don't need anything out of this, Doc. This is for you."
She had to give another sweet smile as she opened her Omni-tool, then sent him the medical supplies.
His activated, "Ok, Got 'em. I'll be right back." He said as he turned to go.
"Wait!" She said to him, he turned back around to face her, "Please be safe."
"Don't worry, Chloe, I'll try to handle this with care."
She nodded. He turned to walk out the door.
The Doctor found herself caring for The Commander a lot more, lately. She wondered about something...
John was walking down the stairs to the lower markets, it was, as usual, busy. He had only his Predator. He wished he brought his Shotgun, or Assault Rifle, but his Biotics would make up for it. He punched Connor on the way here just for the Hell of it.
He turned the corner and headed over to a Salarian, Molan.
"Hi, There! Welcome back, anything I can get you?" The Salarian's tongue ran.
"Yes, I'm here on the Doctor's Behalf. What's this demand for?" John said to him.
The Salarian leaned in to whisper, "I'm not the one doing it."
"I told Banes you'd screw this up," came a heavy voice.
Molan's face instantly turned to fear.
John looked to see a Krogan walk up to him.
"So, you're the blackmailer?" John said with slight rage.
The Krogan cackled a little, "Yep, That's me."
"You should reconsider what you're about to do," John warned him.
"Nah, I think I'll kill you," was the Krogan's Response.
John instantly flared up his Biotics, then spawned a massive-force push, sending the Krogan flying into a stack of Boxes, emitting yells and screams from the various folks in the area backing up. He readied for another attack until the Krogan came charging out of the pile with a shotgun, roaring.
John spun to the side as the Krogan went flying past him. The massive creature turned to do so again. The Commander lifted the Krogan up, slammed him onto the hard, cold floor. The Krogan bounced off the ground with John engulfing him in Biotics as he put more juice behind his power to throw the Krogan into the wall. The wall was smashed underneath the power of John's Biotics and the heavy weight of the Krogan.
The Commander walked up to the Krogan, laying on the crushed wall. He pulled out his Predator and put an entire clip into the head.
"That's for Chloe, fucker," John said to him. Reloading his Predator then holstering it.
John walked into the Office to see Chloe shooting up with a questioning look.
"How did it go?" She asked as he came around the corner, then saw blood on civilian attire, "There was a fight?"
He nodded, "Yep. Your blackmailer was a Krogan."
She opened her mouth in disbelief, "Oh my god...Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. But The Krogan, or the wall for that matter, isn't," he said, grinning.
She sighed a Relief, "Only if I knew..."
"Hey. It's alright, Chloe, I'm fine, your troubles are over. That's good enough for me to know that you won't be threatened anymore."
She nodded, "Ok...because, if you've gotten hurt, I would never forgive myself..."
He walked up to her to put his hands on her shoulders, "Chloe...I'm here, alive and breathing. Even if I do get hurt, I won't blame you because I know I'm the one taking the hit instead of you. It would shatter my world if you were the one who got hurt, doctor or not."
She smiled at him for his words, her heart skipped a few beats while she listened. Her eyes took pictures of a face of a caring man. Her Mind wandered to places.
The Doctor was speechless at his little ramble of words.
His Omni-Tool beeped, he groaned as he looked at it.
"Ah, Got a meeting with the Council, why can't those bastards leave me alone for a minute?" John said out loud.
"Well, the Galaxy can't save itself," Dr. Michel said to him, grinning.
"I wish it could," John replied, grinning back.
"So, I could spend more time with you..." John thought.
"So, Yeah, I have to go," John told Michel, beginning his journey to the door.
"Stay safe," she replied gloomily, knowing she was going to be lonely again. She didn't want him to leave, but he had to.
"I'll come back to you after this mission, Chloe, I swear it," John said to her.
He was going to come back to her, or die trying.
She simply nodded, then he exited the room.
Once again, She was alone. She missed him already, thinking about the words he said. She used the pictures her eyes took to content her as she sat down.
And there you have it!
I hope I made the mission to make sense, I never played it since I didn't know Bout it until I looked it up.
I had to add the Punching of Connor, it was hilarious, imagining it!
I hope the Fight was a good one!
Thanks for reading, and please, Leave a Review!
