Firefight in a office building.

Six pov.

I sat outside Anolies office as Lilith and Liara both thought it best not to engage with the CEO or whatever due to my confrontation nature. I was kept company by Gianna the woman from before who wore the pink dress. I Also gave them privacy due to how conflicted Liara looked. I'm not the best guy to go to for decisions. I had my helmet off.

"You're friends are taking a long time." Gianna said as I nodded.

"Yeah Shepard has an amazing way with words but sometimes they don't stick." I lie not knowing at all.

"If she's so smooth why are you out here?" She smirked at me.

"Oh I'm here to see if I can convince you to take us to that matriarch. I was told to use all my assets." I say obviously joking.

"Really?" She responded with the same sarcasm.

"Unfortunately not. I just gave the 2 ladies alone time. They seemed to need it." I admit. "So what do you really do?"

"I'm Anolies assistant." She said as I looked at her desk and noticed peculiarities.

"No you're not." I scoff as she looked perplexed. "For one your computer thing wasn't on nor has it been for the time we've been here. The desk top is lazily organized. You are constantly checking your omni-tool as if reading something. Not to mention you're super nice. Assistants are never nice at least not as nice as you." I say staring at her.

"You a 1st class detective?" Gianna asked as I chuckled.

"No just really perceptive." I say as she smirks. "I understand if you can't tell me."

"I'm just an assistant." She said with a fake smile as I heard a yell of frustration followed by Lilith coming around the corner. "Ah their are more ways than one to get a pass spectre."

"What do you need?" Lilith asked frustrated as Gianna looked left and right before whispering something quietly I didn't catch. Lilith nodded before turning and leaving with Liara and I in tow.

"That Anolies guy is a dick." Lilith said as we go across the lobby passing a beautiful waterfall.

"So since he couldn't help where we going instead?" I ask as we enter into an elevator.

"Talking to Executive Lorik Qui'in. He might be able to help us get a pass." Liara explained as I watched Lilith tensing up trying to relax.

"Ah fun. Should I just wait off to the side again since I'm just here for my good looks and great gun skills?" I asked making Shepard laugh. Her body relaxed as her shoulders dropped.

"You don't have to." Lilith explained as the doors opened to a restaurant, Cafe, bar setting.

"Yeah I haven't been paying attention any how so far so just let me know if you need me to jump in. I'm going for some coffee. Either of you interested?" Liara and Lilith told me their orders and I went to the server as they talked to a turian.

"Hey." I say to the salarian server. "Can I get a caramel mocha, Galão, and a Irish coffee please." The salarian nodded and rang up my order as I watched Lilith talking with the turian who seemed to be explaining something. Damn shame I can read alien lips. Or any lips for that matter.

"Here you go sir enjoy." The salarian said as I grabbed them and brought them over.

"So we have a deal?" The turian asked as I overheard.

"Yes we get you your evidence and you give us a garage pass." Lilith responded as I stepped up.

"Coffee time." I say casually as Lilith and Liara smiled.

"Thanks 6."

"Go away." the turian stated as I scoffed.

"Don't worry he's with me." Lilith said taking her mocha as I handed Liara her Gallo. "You can trust him." I nodded at him while sipping my Irish coffee. My tongue got burned as I did this making me regret so many things. I kept my cool though. Not as hot as a fire gecko.

"Right. Well get my stuff from the computer and I'll give you the pass." He said as Lilith nodded as we continued with our drinks.

"So anyone gonna tell me who to shoot or what?" I ask as we get on the elevator halfway through our coffee. Liara looked relieved at having something to drink and re-energize her.

"We might have to shoot some guards." Lilith explained before the doors opened.

"Oh boy." I say cheerfully going down some stairs finishing my coffee. "Anything else?" I ask as we pass by 2 officers and a trash can. I drop my cup in before we round another corner with the label synthetic insights and garage. I put on my helmet again ready for action.

"They might be corrupt." Liara said as I waved at a turian.

"Neato." I say as we step into another elevator. It was a quiet ride up as I pulled out my particle rifle. The elevator opened up to show 2 officers standing around and talking. "Can I take them out?"

"Only if we have too." I nod as we walk forward they turn to us and pulled out their own rifles and fired at us. Lilith and I jumped to one side as Liara jumped to the other side hiding behind the doorframe.

"Seems that negotiations have broken down." I say before jumping out and firing 2 beams at the attackers. One disintegrated to a pile of ashes as the other officer dodged only to be hit by one of Liaras biotic abilities. Lilith followed after covering me while I rolled to a standing table kicking it over for cover. Off to my right were 2 guys coming down some stairs.

"Watch my back." Lilith said as she rushed towards the. Her suit shield took most of the damage before straight up decking on in the face as the other tripped down the stairs breaking his neck.

"Your back looks wonderful." I yelled out as the fighting stopped. No one nut us remained.

"Which part of my back were you watching exactly?" Lilith asked as I and Liara rejoined her at the top of the stairs.

"The lower part obviously." I say not hiding the fact I was totally checking her ass out.

"Hmmm. We still need to have that talk she smirked as I sighed.

"After we get on the Normandy again." I say as we go to an office that's been ransacked. Lilith got to a computer and entered a code before downloading what I assume was the evidence. We then left the office to be confronted by that bitch Sterling. "Corrupt bitch 12 o'clock." I say loudly as Sterling growled pulling out her rifle.

"You're not leaving alive." She growled firing at us with her lackeys. I sighed getting in cover checking my pockets for any grenades. My hand passed over one as I smiled. I pulled out one with a white cross painted on it.

I counted to 3 since that was the number that shall be counted too. No more no less. 4 would have been too long and 2 would be too short. So I count to 3. I threw the grenade over my cover before hearing a boom and no more shots fired. I looked up to see that Sterling and her gang were dead.

"Hmmm. Benedicat me dominus in hac die pugnae." I say allowed standing up as Lilith and Liara stared at me.

"I'm sorry did you just speak latin?" Lilith asked as I nodded.

"Yep. I said bless me lord on this day of battle." I explained.

"How do you know latin?"

"Had to sneak into a legionaires camp and cut off Ceasers head somehow." I shrugged as we left. "Thank you Gannon."

-somewhere else in the galaxy.-

No one pov.

ACHOO! "Who just spoke about me?"
