I was less then happy with the situation. I could hear some of the men who worked under Don Corneo with some girls from the Honey Bee Club. I shifted uneasily as the Don came into his office from the back room and whistled.
"Shin-Ra said they were sending an agent, but I didn't know it was a lady." He whistled again. I grunted, trying to appear unmoved.
"I come for your information Don. You said you knew something about AVALANCHE..." I began. He laughed in a creepy way.
"Of course, of course. But first, a toast..."
I got peeved now, and flung my arm out, pushing the glass away.
"I am here as a representative of Shin-Ra. As a Turk. As a Professional." I snarled. "So do not toy with me, Corneo. I am here for the information, not socialization." Apparently I was plenty scary, as he backed up quickly enough before handing me a disc.
"So the stories were true. Ice Queen." He whimpered and I sighed.
"That's right...." I hissed before walking away. I guess that was going to be my title. Ice Queen. It stuck after I was first referred to by it. My money said it would never be gone.
Tseng was waiting outfront with a town car, and glanced up as he saw my expression.
"So the Don up to his usual troubles?" He commented. I nodded once and offered a smile as he held the passenger door open for me. My sister had been right in her advice. He was a good man.
My sister.
As the car began to move, I broke down, sobbing for what had to be the millionth time since my sister died. Since Cari went into the hospital. Tseng pulled over the the car, glancing at me.
"Elena...." He was the only one who realized how unstable I was. He placed an arm on my shoulder as I sobbed and shook.
"...what if..." I whispered. "What if I could have done something?"
"Elena." Tseng grabbed both my shoulders. "We are bringing AVALANCHE down with his. They can never harm anyone like they harmed Cari when we're done. You joined Shin-Ra and the Turks for that reason. You couldn't have changed the past if you tried. But the future is in our control." He explained in his oddly elegant fashion. I nodded slowly as I regained my composure. Tseng glanced at me for a moment before he began to drive again. I kept to myself once more, looking out the window. Where else could I look? I glanced at the flash drive I now held in my fist and closed my eyes. Soon Cari. Soon I'll be sure nothing like what happened to you happens again...
