Shep set a fairly brisk apce once he'd cleared the others, but Rhys easily matched it. After a half hour, Shep paused to take a swig from his canteen and finally noticed his shadow. He grinned and held out the canteen. " I was expecting Smith to be the one that didn't trust me by myself, not you. At least the LT might survive this way." His grin grew.

Coming out of his concealmeant Rhys chuckles. "Well so far this Lt hasn't proven herself incompetent like Archer. And oddly enough she was the one that ordered me to follow you and it sounded better than babysitting the rest of them so I followed orders for once. " Keeping a casual but alert eye open for any dangers as he glances around. "So what's our objective?"

" Give her time, all officers do eventually." Shep replied as he put the canteen away. " You would have been better off with the others, the folks I'm gonna meet up with don't take kindly to strangers. It's not too late for you to go back to the others. I can't order you, so I'll make it a friendly suggestion." He turned and continued on at his brisk pace.

Rhys shrugs and falls into step with Shep. "I have dealt with those that don't take kindly to others before it's apart of the job description for those that are in the Special Forces."

" Another text book answer." Shep sputtered, pulling his vibro tomahawk and using it to slice through the underbrush. The pair continued on for a good hour at the heavy pace before raching a cave. The area seems familiar to Rhys as Shep took a quick look around before entering. "Don't say I didn't warn you." Shep turned and smirked as he opened a hidden hatch near the back of the cave that led to an even more familiar tunnel.

Rhys thinking to himself 'Oh fracking christ' then shrugs and checks his gear expecting trouble and being prepared for it.

Motioning for Rhys to enter, Shep eyed him suspiciously. " What are you doing? Some of these people are old friends of mine.We've got nothing to wory about."

Rhys looks to Shep "I think it would be best if you went first when Gantry and I were inspecting the town we found this area and the inhabitants didn't take to kindly to us and they may remember my armor"

" Oh, we remember you. Ran like a scared whelp." answered the woman who had met them last time as she stepped thru the wall.
" Be nice Janey. " shep smirked at the psi ghost. " Is Nicky here?"
" Nope, what do you want?"
" Damn" Shep sputtered, " We need your help."
" Go figure, come on in." she opened a hidden door and walked in. Shep motion Rhys to follow. " come on, things are gonna be fine."

Muttering under his breath, "Ran like a whelp my ass it was a tactical retreat given the fact that I was out numbered greatly." And follows Shep still being very cautious and and alert.

Inside, it seemed like they had stepped into a quartermasters office as Janey led then thru a twisting maze of crates. they could here the movement of other people in the chamber, but they were hidden by the stacks of crates. Reaching a door, she ushered them into a small office at the other end of the room.
Janey pulled a few cans of beer from a small bar fridge and set them on the desk, opening one for herself." Alright Carson, spill it."
Shepherd scooped up on of the cans and tossed it to Rhys before opening the other and taking a swig as he flopped in an oversized chair. " I need to call in a favor. I need your people to provide a distraction so our squad can get the prisoners out . All of them, CS and civilians. Just do a hit and fade on a control tower and then slow down the reinforcements ."

Rhys catches the beer, takes his helmet off as he sits down and sips it as he listens to what Shep says. He remains quiet knowing that Shep knows what he's doing and if Shep trust's these guys he's got no reason not to trust them.

" Is that all? " Janey scoffed, shaking her head. " Sorry Carson, but with Westvale gone, we're in the middle of a bugout. sung and Sprite's boys are scaling up for a full blown war here, and we want no part in it. Besides, almost everyone is in Haven already. I've only got four guys here to help." She grinned, casting a glance at Rhys. " Grant it the five of us could handle your squad for the fun of it."
Shep sighed. " Look, all I need is a couple rocket shots at the tower, then slow down the troops up the road. Blow a bridge or snipe them from the ridge, whatever."
she took a drink and turned her attention to Rhys. " what do you think? Why should I help you folks?"

Rhys arches a brow as he thinks a moment. Then slowly he says, "Well Miss considering that we are going in to rescue everyone, and that means those from Westvale as well as our own troops I would think that it is in the interest of everyone involved that this mission succeed. Because if we fail, there will be no others coming in and pulling our arses out of the fire. And if you truly do care about any of those that were in Westvale than assisting us is the best chance of seeing those you care about again." His voice throughout this is calm with no anger, no hatred, in a just stating the facts tone.

" Okay, so he's not a skelebot." Janey grinned, turning to Shep. " We'll do what we can, but don't expect any miracles."
Shepherd grinned. " Can't ask for anymore than that. Now if I could just get a couple of those..."
" Don't push your luck." Janey replied. " Now get out of here, It'll take a month to get the coalition stink out of this place."
shep motioned Rhys towards the door. Once out of the office, he grinned. " So that was easy. What's your problem? and don't tell me you don't approve of my methods, I really won't care for much longer."
