"So let me get this straight," began the red haired male as he pressed a thumb down on to a picture of a teenage male. "You've went out of your way to hire me...just to watch your son? Is this some joke? He looks like he could watch himself just fine."
"Perhaps, but you were one of the best. I could only trust you enough with my son's life, as his body gaurd, until I die," muttered President Shinra. His hands folded infront of his pursed lips as his eyes narrowed. "You will risk your life for my son, correct?" his eyes flashed at the question.
A smirk appeared on the flamboyant male's mouth as he leaned forward in his chair. "Of course, boss. I'll be sure a strand of hair is not harmed on that pretty boy's head." he got up, pushing the photo into his suit coat. He chuckled slightly. "Now, I'll be off to visit him. Don't worry too much, sir. He's in good hands," Reno peeked out his tongue and winked before exiting the office. His eyes slid left to gaze at a framed picture of the President and a few feet past that was the large 'Shin-Ra Electric Power Company' sign. He laughed to himself, rubbing the back of his neck as he pushed past the double doors to the outside.
Reno covered his eyes, his pupils widening. Once he had adjusted to the new bright light he continued to his destination. Thin fingers grabbed at a folded note that laid snug in his coat pocket. Digging his thumb under the first fold and flicking it up, Reno clicked his tongue. As he unfolded it completely, he began to read off what was written on it. Seemed like chicken stratch to him. Then again President Shinra had been explaining the situation so fast that Reno couldn't even be able to hold the pen right as he wrote.
Room 34
Blue hues narrowed as he crumpled up the note and shoved it back into his pocket to forget. That was...until he washed the coat. Holding out his hand, he heard the metal click of the push door to the large hospital. Did he really walk that far without knowing it? With a simple shrug, Reno walked to the front desk and gave a light tap of his knuckles on the wood. "Excuse me, miss. I'm here to visit Shinra in room 34 under the request of his pappy." Reno shot a friendly grin as his stare went from the average woman to a group of nurses and doctors muttering a conversation among each other.
The woman at the front desk pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose, her fingers shaking as she did. Green eyes looked down to a small list next to an ancient computer with a monitor as big as a large radio box. Her finger nail brushed along the list of visitor names and times. "Shinra...Shinra..." she whispered to herself. Reno yawned softly, bothered by the smell of the hospital and how dim the light was. It smelt of dust and strong cleaning chemicals. This made his skin crawl by the minute. No wonder he had a strong dislike toward hospitals.
The woman scratched a code on to a small torn piece of yellow paper and held it out to Reno. "Here you are, enjoy your stay," she faked a warm smile as Reno took it from her hand. He gave a wave before walking off to the room. It wasn't too far, it was on the second floor. Jogging up the stairs, Reno's gaze went to the hall of patient rooms. Next to each one was a small black box with a silver key hole at the top and a set of numbers at the bottom. Golden plates with imprints of black letters on each one was neatly drilled into each polished door.
This place looked expensive, it almost smelt like it too. Maybe if you took out the smell of plastic and window cleaner. Reno tilted his head, barely paying attention to the numerous numbers on the doors. Till he stopped infront of one of the doors. He glanced at the golden plate and smiled slightly. "Here we go." he said to himself, pressing in the code on the key pad. Grasping the knob once the key pad lit up green, Reno opened the door.
Inside was nothing all to special. Patterns of blue flowers and curls on white wallpaper which was on each of the four walls. A marble vase with half-dead roses was settled upon a cream colored table that was set against one of the walls. A set of windows let sunlight fill the hospital room, the heavy curtains tied with a single rope that was attached to the walls. Reno blinked and slowly moved his attention to the hospital bed to see none other then Rufus Shinra. He had his eyes focused on a black novel, his chest was covered in bandages and around one of his wrists. "Yo!" Reno chimed, shutting the door behind him.
Shutting the novel quickly at the sound, Rufus looked up. A gleam came to his eyes, of both shock and excitement. "Da-" he turned quickly only to lay his eyes on the red haired male in a black suit. "Who may you be?" his voice softened in a relief, but some how sounded sad to Reno. The other simply waved a hand and smiled "Pleased to meetcha, I'm Reno. You're father hired me to baby sit you." Of course Reno was joking. Rufus sneered and turned his look away. "I'm not some clueless child," he muttered under his breath.
"Oh I know you're not."
