Rude Awakening.

Kasumi rarely drank enough to pass out. This was not usual. Neither was the tight devices she had on her wrist and ankles.

But most of all was the gag in her mouth and the fact she was completely naked!!

"Hmh!!!"

"Welcome back."

Kasumi saw Shepard standing in front of her. A fully nude Ashley Williams next to her, a nude Liara on her other side, and Tali still fully dressed near them.

"You really shouldn't order drinks from the father-in-law of the woman you pissed off." Shepard declared.

Kasumi glared back. She was already working on the cuffs...

"Your tools are here." Tali held them out. "It wasn't easy to find them all but we had time to look."

"Now Kasumi." Shepard began. "After I helped you with the Greybox I thought we were friends or as much as you can be. So I want to know what the hell you were thinking?!"

Kasumi felt the gag being pulled out. "Jeeze Shepard. You really can't take a joke."

"I dont consider being stripped and humiliated a joke! Maybe it is for you? We can go and leave you here for the first asari that comes by."

Kasumi looked panicked. "Shep! Do you have any idea what they'll do to me?!"

"Probably sell you to someone." Shepard shrugged.

"You cant leave me like this!!"

"Why not? You proved you aren't a friend to me."

"Shep...look I know this was a stupid thing. I didn't really see the issue."

"Handcuffed, naked, my crew involved, my mother the one behind it! How the hell did you not see the problem?!"

"Come on Shep. You know I can help you. You still have a lot of people to ger back at. Wouldn't I be useful?"

"That would require me to trust you. Why should I? Maybe you need to be left here. It might do you ego some good."

"Shepard!!" She looked at Tali. "Tali don't let her leave me here please!"

"I was pulled into this. If I had known what was really planned I never would have let it happen. Shepard is my friend. My captain. You knew and did nothing. How can she forgive you?"

Kasumi looked at Ashley. "I know you're under a contract. What if I did one too? You would know then that I couldn't go against you then." She offered.

"Like you would obey it. You're a criminal. Breaking a contract would be nothing to you." Ashley said.

"There has to be something! Please...if I'm found like this...and if anyone realizes who I am...I'll be dead before dinner!"

That made Shepard pause. She didn't want anyone to die. All the humiliation wasn’t cause to kill any of them.

"Shepard." Liara spoke. "I may have an idea."
