"Sir think this through, your about to charge into a ship full of weapons, chasing after a highly dangerous Krogan who commands an army of mercaneries."Coughed Garrus as he stumbled over to where Larsan and Carlos stood and dropped to the floor beside the injured Luhan.

"Vakarian I am your superior and I am ordering you to stay here. You are in no shape to fight, I'm going in there after the zealot and I'm taking him down." Yelled Captain Matheus.

Matheus turned heel and walked a few steps before stopping and turning to face Sarah and Voruns "Come on we can handle one Krogan."

And with that the Captain marched off into the Kowloon reluctantly followed by Sara and Voruns.

Voruns turned to look back at Garrus and the others with a look of frustration, then quickly turned and jogged to catch up with Sara and Captain Matheus.

Voruns knew that this was a terrible decision. The Zealot was powerful and was hidden inside a ship full of weapons. The ship was a Kowloon, a ginormous cargo ship. Who knows where the Zealot could be.

"The bastard couldn't have gone far. Come on there may be a lot of hiding places in this ship, hell seventy percent of it is a big open cargo bay, but it's a rather full cargo bay and Krogans aren't the stealthiest." Whispered Matheus.

"Sir he has the upper hand, he knows where we will be coming in and we have no idea where he is." Whispered Sara frantically.

"Fan out, Sara go left, Voruns you go right. Keep constant radio contact." Responded Matheus ignoring Sara.

Voruns reluctantly turned and began walking to the right side of the cargo bay. Once he reached half way between Matheus and the far wall he looked over his shoulder. With his weapon raised he began to charge forward as he saw Sara and the Captain do the same.

They charged up the length of the Kowloons massive cargo bay. At the far side of the cargo bay Voruns could see some larger storage containers. They looked like the ones the squad had hidden in to ambush the Zealot. What a great plan that was.

These containers seemed out of place compared to the others littering the massive cargo bay. The ones carrying munitions were smaller and more compact. These two looked as though they could hold a small ship.

"Captain you see what I'm seeing?"

"Yeah that's the only possible hiding spot in the cargo bay that's big enough for a Krogan to hide. He has to be near there. Sara circle round and come in from the left. Voruns do the same from your side. Keep your eyes peeled. That Krogan bastard wouldn't retreat, he has a plan."

"Yes sir." Whispered Sara and Voruns voice through the omni-tools.

******

Garrus sat perched against a short half wall near the open hangar bay of the Kowloon. He was still out of breath and felt himself drifting in and out of consciousness. As his partner knelt beside him and used his omni-tool to administer Medi-gel to Garrus.

"Here this should take the edge off of the pain but I recommend not getting up." Larsan said as he stood back up and went to sit on a small crate beside the half wall.

"Thanks partner but I'm fine. How's Luhan?" Garrus coughed looking over at the young Salarian that lay unconscious, not far from him, perched on the same wall.

"He is ok for the moment but he needs medical attention that I can not provide."Larsan explained.

At that moment Carlos walked back around the wall and stood looking at Garrus and Larsan "He is tougher than he looks. He will make it and we will throw a grand fiesta. That Zealot pendejo will pay."

"A fiesta? I could definitely use a drink Carlos, sounds fun." Replied Larsan laughing.

Garrus then looked over at the giant opening into the cargo bay of the Kowloon. "Matheus is too pissed off to realise how stupid this plan is. The Zealot knows the ship, we don't, that gives him the upper hand. Who knows what else that bastard has hidden in his ship." With that Garrus's eyes slowly closed and everything went black.

Voruns weaved swiftly but stealthily through the crates and barrels towards the shipping container at the far end of the ships cargo bay.

"Why do Kowloon's have to be so damn big." He whispered under his breath as he closed in on the right side of the container.

They were closing in on the small open area towards the back wall of the cargo bay that housed the two large containers.

"Be ready, the Zealot has to be around here." Came the Captains voice through Voruns' Omni-tool.

"What do you think is in the containers? The Zealot has to be in that area but do you think he would hide inside?" Whispered Sara's voice.

"Who knows, but if he isn't in them he'll be nearby." Came Captain Matheus' reply.

"We are almost there, you'll have answers soon." Said Voruns.

Voruns began to slow his pace as he closed in on the two large containers.

He came to a stop at a stack of barrels around the containers, and looking over, saw that Sara and Captain Matheus had taken up similar positions, all according to C-secs protocol.

"On my mark, Sara you move in with your shotgun!"
