Summary: What if Grimoire Valentine was still alive when Vincent disappeared in the Shinra Mansion. How would he take the loss of his son? Father/son story.

Chapter 2: The News Part 2

"I'd like permission to search the Shinra mansion for Turk Member, Vincent Valentine...Professor Valentine, have you heard anything from your son recently."

"No, I haven't. I haven't heard from him for a month now." Grimoire answered his voice cracking. This was what he feared, something had happened.

Professor Gast looked haunted and hurt by this turn of events. The Head Turk, Verdot noticed this and spoke up again, "Professor Gast, would you like to tell us what you know about the disappearance being the person who reported it."

Professor Gast stepped forward looking tired and like he had spent some sleepless nights over this. "The last time, I saw Vincent was three days ago and it is starting to look that foul play was involved. It is unusual not to see him around the mansion." He said worriedly.

Verdot nodded grimly. He looked concerned. The President spoke up next, "What if you were just in different areas and didn't see him in those days, and it would be a waste of resources.

"That is not like Vincent though and from what Gast said I believe Vincent was deliberately making sure Gast at least saw him around a lot." Verdot said contradicting the president. Verdot was Vincent's regular partner on team missions. They had been together for a long time and knew each other better than most. It seemed he was worried about this too.

"If you don't send a search team in I will go myself, I want my son back." I said testingly. I met the Turk Commander's eyes and swore I saw a small smirk cross his lips as I said this. All eyes seemed to fall on me in shock. I knew why, it was not all that usual that I put something above my current experiment. But this was my Vincent so it was more important.

"I am going to allow this search of the mansion and Professor Valentine, you and Mr Verdot will be accompanying the party." The President said after consulting the others in the room. I was shocked to begin with but realised I would be able to be there for my son if we found him alive. "Grimoire, think positively, you will find him and he will be alive." I scolded myself inside my head.

"So, when do we leave?" Verdot asked.
