Part 13: My turn

Haniel put a hand on her aching forehead and closed her eyes. She felt a headache emerging.

" Why not let him in on the plan? You said you trust him. " She asked with a calculating tone.

" Well, I do trust him but not to 100%. I am still not sure if he would decide to stop us or not."

Haniel hummed at his answer and felt how tiredness washed over her. She covered her eyes with her arm and leaned back in the chair.
She kind of regretted slamming her head, but better that than alone time with that spiny hooded turian.
She glanced towards the door and Scion.

"It seems my friend had decided to wait for me. But perhaps that won't be much of problem. " Scion said with a shrug of his shoulders.

" Haaah, I guess not. He has borrowed my private one once, so it's only fair that he don't report me for this. " She sighed and stood up.

" That would explain the way he acted on Normandy ." Scion said with a smug voice and what looked like a crooked smile.

Garrus felt like his eyes were close to stare a hole in the door. He was just about to give up and leave when the door swung open and Scion and the human walked out.

" What are you doing?" He hissed with his subvocals and felt how his mandibles clicked in surprise.

" The lady needs to 'take care of some business' " Scion said and gestures towards the bathroom.

Garrus felt how it suddenly got warmer and straightened up a bit. Of course she needed to use the bathroom, she was a living being after all. It annoyed him a bit that he had not even considered it.
He gave her an apologetic look as she walked past him and quickly entered the bathroom.

" This is why I told you to leave first. I'm kind of breaking the rules here so now you have yet another thing to hide from Saren."

" Yeah ... I won't tell. " Garrus answered and cleared his throat.

Scion escorted her back to the room when she was done and left the room.
Garrus and Scion left the cargo area in silence. They where on their way to the mess hall when Saren and Sidonis showed up.

" I take it you dealt with the thing." It was more like a statement than a question.

" Yes sir, it got a good beating." Scion answered with steady voice.

He clicked up a picture of Haniel that showed her leaning back in a chair with her arm covering her face.
Garrus noticed a large amount of blood dripping from her cheek and arm. He guessed that the pictures had been manipulated.

" I see. A bit too soft, but it will have to do this time. " The older turian said with a nod before he excused himself and left them.

" I see you to have been promoted from prison guards to torturers. But then again what is the difference? " Sidonis said dryly as he inspected the picture.

" Well one thing lead to the other. " Scion answered as he closed the omni-tool and turned around to ready to leave.

Garrus was just about to do the same when Sidonis signalled him to stay. Garrus felt how he groaned inside and quickly looked towards Scion. Scion gave him a quick look before he nodded and left them.

" So what did you want to speak about?" Garrus asked and tried his best to keep steady eye contact with Sidonis.

" Don't stay too close to him. He is up to something and you are in the risk of being dragged down with him." Sidonis said with a hushed voice.

Garrus tensed up a bit at the words but quickly relaxed, hoping that it had gone unnoticed. Was someone already on to them? He tried to imagine what the worse case scenario would be if someone reported them and immediately felt a chill.

" What do you mean up to something?" He asked did his best to keep the subvocals from acting up.

" Something about him and the human. I can't prove anything; so far it is just a gut feeling... Just be careful. "

Garrus received a pat on the shoulder before Sidonis walked away and left him alone to worry about the current situation.
