Chapter 1: The Detective and the Situation

Cruising through the alleys of the Citadel, Lucius De la Vega continued in his search for crime and injustice.

His job as a C-Sec detective had begun only a few months earlier. No one expected that a soldier would be able to become a good detective at the Citadel, specifically an ex N7 Marine.

'Sorry to disappoint you ladies and gentlemen, but this guy is now a detective', he thought to himself, grinning in the process.

While standing close to a store owned by a Salarian that was recently robbed, he noticed a Turian laying down, holding his chest. Lucius immediately rushed to his side, and knelt right next to him.

"Sir, are you alright?" Lucius asked. The Turian looked bad, he was bleeding from a bullet wound in his chest, and he was trying to stop the hemorrhage.

"Ah… yes I think so Human, someone just took my wallet and shot me in the chest, yes I think I'm alright" the Turian finished sarcastically. He had a look in the face of yes idiot, I'm wounded.

Lucius, being slightly annoyed but in the inside finding his comment a little funny, immediately called for reinforcements and paramedics to the scene. Within minutes, C-Sec agents and paramedics arrived. Lucius then helped the recently assaulted Turian stand up, but not before applying some Medi-Gel to his wound, and leading him to an ambulance.

The Turian, who was, according to some, smiling, asked Lucius "Detective, you just saved my life back there, what is your name if I may ask?" he finished, looking at the detective with powerful, deep cloudy eyes.

Lucius turned, as he was busy talking to his fellow detectives, and looked at the Turian in the eyes, then said: "Lucius, Lucius de la Vega, nice to meet you Mr…" he gestured at the Turian with his hand to make him introduce himself too.

"Oh! Sorry, Lardris Konius, Administrator of the Turian Cuisine Restaurant just a few meters away from your station" he finished, grinning once again.

'Well this Turian is always in a good mood eh?' Lucius thought to himself as he smiled and nodded at Konius. Konius was then taken to the clinic, and Lucius stayed to make further investigations.

A few hours passed since the incident, and now Lucius began searching for evidence in the scene. 'Just some Turian blood and a few credit chits in the floor, very little evidence' he sighed as he looked for more evidence that could point to something important. Finally, Lucius' shift ended, and began walking to his apartment, thinking of what to do, when he received a call from his best friend at C-Sec, fellow Turian detective Kalec Mindus, a hardcore fan of Human soccer and heavy drinking.

As Lucius gets the call from his Omni-Tool, he immediately hears Mindus' voice "Hey Luke, we are going to the Flux for some drinks, talk about the Geth attack and some soccer games, wanna tag along?" the Turian finished.

Lucius rolled his eyes and smiled, thinking of the nickname he got from Mindus. 'Just showing that bastard those human films of Star Wars', he thought. A few months earlier, when Lucius was new to C-Sec, he became fast friends with the Turian "party starter" and, in a party at his house, after watching some old human movies, one of them "Star Wars" which the Turian found funny because of the old, crappy special effects, Mindus thought of Luke as a good nickname to the blonde looking Lucius.

Drifting back to reality and looking at the omni tool, Lucius sensed that the Turian was going to drink heavily and arm a revolution at the bar, so he answered, "No bro, I'm going to my house, I'm really tired, but hey, what about tomorrow we watch Barcelona versus Real Madrid, they are having their 300th classic match, I think, it's going to be a lovely game, how about we get some booze and watch it in my apartment?" he finished with a smile, already knowing what the Turian would say.

"Goddamn, you are a genius Lucius, hell yea I'm going, and well, I'll see you later, I'm watching some beautiful Asari on the dance floor, wish me luck bro!" he finished with enthusiasm.

"Good luck and be careful womanizer" Lucius finished smiling and then hung up.

'Damn what a day…' Lucius thought to himself as he sighed and walked to the door of his apartment. Although just a C-Sec agent, he had a luxurious apartment, thanks to his time in the N7 program and his rich father, a powerful and very able businessman. Though he and his father were not always on good terms, they would still see each other once a month to discuss how they were doing and pass stories of their recent accomplishments.

'Oh shit, I will have to see him next week!' Lucius remembered while opening the door into his apartment. As he entered into his house, his dome, his party place, his kingdom, he got some popcorn and put some old movies while getting some tequila to enjoy the night.

'Hopefully tomorrow will be better' he thought while laughing at his favorite comedic show of all time, his beloved Three Stooges.

'Oh Keelah, when am I going to find work?' Lia'Vael nar Ulnay thought while looking through the stores and establishments in the Zakera Ward. It had been a month since she met Commander Shepard and Tali'Zorah, when they helped her prove her innocence against an annoying Volus merchant and a racist Human C-Sec agent.

'I hope there are some people like them' Lia thought while resting in a bench, looking at the corner of the ward, where C-Sec agents and paramedics flooded the place. She had heard a loud bang in the distance a few minutes earlier thanks to her suit hearing enhancements, but did not pay attention to it. She was busy thinking about how to find some work, but the petty racism and paranoia from the people at the Citadel had her completely drifting in a difficult position.

Lia then got up and went to the Turian shelter to get some food and sleep the night in her sleep pod before going to look for work the next day. 'Hope my luck changes and I get a job tomorrow or else I'm going crazy'. She then started walking slowly to the shelter, her only home.

As the alarm sounded, Lia got up and, while reassuring herself, went out in her frantic, almost impossible task of finding a job. She didn't care what kind of job it was, she just wanted some income so that she could buy something for her Pilgrimage or at least, some good food.

She had very little money left, and she was kind of thirsty, so she went to the Flux bar. 'Some good fresh water, or a good sweet, alcohol free drink to start the day' she kept thinking as she entered the bar. She could smell the smoke of the human clientele, and hear all the laughs that flooded the bar. She then got some courage, as she was thinking of just walking away, and went to the Turian bartender. "Hello, um, can I get some water please?" The humble Quarian asked.

The Turian gave her a hateful look, "Filthy Quarian! Here we serve drinks, not water, now get out of here before you start stealing my goods" he finished as he gave her another hateful look.

She had gotten tired of those insults and the powerless feeling of not being able to do anything, so the rage flowed through her and screamed "We Quarians do not steal! I just got here to get some water because I'm thirsty! I'm tired of people like you, who only see us as thieves and beggars, because we are not!" she finished, gathering the attention of the crowd in the bar.

In a blink of an eye, the Turian grabbed her by the neck and started screaming, throwing off curses that she couldn't even understand, but she wasn't paying attention to that, she was paying attention to her being grabbed by the Turian.

"Leave her alone!" "Come on man, don't be like that" "She didn't do anything to you" "Fight!" "Rid us of that thief" could be heard from the crowd. One of the Asari on the dance floor got her omni tool and called C-Sec, as the situation was getting worse.

"Don't worry ma'am, an agent it's on his way to deal with the situation, please stay calm" the C-Sec agent said in the line, with a deep voice. Less than a minute later, a human C-Sec agent rushed through the door, focused on the situation in front of his eyes, a crazy Turian grabbing a young Quarian female by the neck.

Lucius had stayed awake until midnight watching the Three Stooges until he fell asleep and drifted to the land of dreams. His alarm went off at 8:30 am, a loud song he used to listen to used as the alarm.

"Oh God, now I hate that song with a passion" Lucius said loudly as he stretched on the couch. He then took a quick shower, put on his C-Sec uniform and went to report to the C-Sec station, to see what was new.

As he was getting to his office, Captain Bailey approached him, "Hey son, Kolyat told me he got a call of a situation in the Flux, an altercation between a Turian and a Quarian, can you go fix it?" Captain Bailey asked, with his usual deep, commanding voice.

Lucius always thought of Bailey as a very good boss, he commanded respect and was extremely good at keeping control. Lucius saw the good side of his heart when Kolyat got inducted into C-Sec after attempting to murder Jorim Talid, that stupid racist Turian.

"Yes sir! Right away!" Lucius said loudly as he nodded and rushed through the people, on his way to the bar, where his friend Mindus had been drinking the day before. He then rushed in, and saw a Turian throwing curses and tantrums at the female Quarian, who was trying to get out of his talons.

"Sir! Get your hands off the lady and put your hands on your head!" He said as he began to get his pistol out, getting the whole attention of the crowd in the bar.

Well Folks, tell me what you think. I'm working on the second chapter already. I know the characters have not a good depth, but I assure you, that later, you will know a lot awful about them.
