Chapter 3:
Target: scarlet!
Cissnei looked at them and sighed "what on gaias name are you lot up to Tsengs looking for you and Verdots angry enough due to his lack of coffee this morning?"
Rod shrugged "blame Reno I was just dragged along on this quest, nunchaku followed too I'm sure about Rude here"
Rude looked at Cissnei calm and composed "some one has to keep them inline"
Reno looked insulted for a moment but smirked "we're helping the bossman, we're gonna find coffee so he can quit being so grumpy you can help too if you want Nei'?"
Cissnei thought about it and sighed "fine someone has to keep you all from killing yourselves"
Reno scoffed "ha a 16 year old watching out for us adults"
Rod looked at Cissnei for a second; she was glaring at Reno for his comment, Reno smirked "don't show too much emotion rookie"
Her look hardened and she decided to ignore Reno entirely and talk to Nunchaku instead.
"So where to Reno?" Rod asked as they entered the elevator, Cissnei stood beside Reno who was a step away from her, Nunchaku just stared out at the city below.
"Level 51 weapons development" Rude stated getting everyone's attention.
"Why there?"Rod complained he hated those people, they were always trying to get volunteers to test out their 'machines' he'd been unlucky to be picked out once.
Reno grinned "to find Scarlett of course rookie"
Nunchaku sighed "shouldn't we get back to our offices now, Tsengs going to think we skipped work today".
Cissnei nodded agreeing with him, she had better things to do then possibly piss off the last person any Turk wanted to cross in their life with the exception of Sephiroth which apparently they'd already done.
"Sure if your cowards, but real Turks stick to their missions" Reno pointed out.
"It's not a mission Reno" Rod pointed out.
"Cowards run out in battle..."Rude stated blankly.
Nunchaku sighed "fine but your taking the blame if Tseng finds out"
"Which he most likely will" Cissnei added.
"Sadists" Rod commented.
"Wow so this is weapons development?" Nunchaku said looking at the floor amazed.
"So...what's so great about it, you haven't been here before?"Reno asked.
"Uh no" Nunchaku said.
"Neither" Cissnei said
"Ok... but onto the objective turkies" Reno announced eagerly.
"Great another plan doomed to fail" Rod muttered ignoring the dark look sent his way from a soldier.
"Don't be so negative yo" Reno replied nudging Rod forward.
"I'm going to get a drink anyone want one?" Nunchaku asked wanting to get away for a bit.
"Sure" Cissnei said joining him happy to talk to someone sane.
"Ok now shuriken and nunchaku are gone here's the plan" Reno whispered.
"You're got to be kidding" Rod complained not liking the plan at all.
"What's wrong?" Cissnei asked
"Reno wants one of us to distract Scarlett" Rod said in answer to her question.
"That's suicide" she said in shock, shivering at the image of what could or would happen.
"Not me...no way I'm doing it" Rod said shaking his head.
"Don't even think it" Cissnei said hands on hips.
"Rude?"
"..."
"Fine then lets draw straws and whoever gets the short one distracts Scarlett" Reno announced holding out a set of straws, how he got them no one knew.
"...."
"Fine" Rod complied grudgingly
"Ok everyone pick one out" Reno said holding it out for everyone.
"Yes I'm safe" Cissnei said happily.
"Thank god" Rod remarked looking relieved.
"..."
"Oh man can we start again?" Nunchaku asked staring at the short straw.
"Nope now Nunchaku just go up to her and talk its easy" Reno said pushing him forwards towards Scarlet's office, Nunchaku trying to escape.
"She doesn't think you're an idiot" Rod said hoping it'd make him feel better.
"She thinks all Turks are idiots" Nunchaku retorted scared for his life.
"Just go" Cissnei muttered coldly while checking her cellphone.
"No you can't make me" Nunchaku protested.
"Oh but I can" Reno said shuffing him forward and making him lose his balance fortunely he crashed into someone so his landing wasn't so hard.
He got up shakily cleaning himself off, and then he saw who he had crashed into making him go pale. "You idiot when i find out what sector you're in your as good as fired!"
"Uh..."he let out speechless
"A turk...a turk dared to push me" Scarlet barked loudly her eyes narrowing when she saw a stain on her red dress, her eyes darkened on poor nunchaku.
"You moronic excuse for a Turk you spilt your soda all over my dress, do you have any idea how much it cost!"She ranted as he continued to back away.
"Uh....no I'm sorry" he stuttered trying to back away but was now stuck in a corner.
"You're sorry; you think that'll get you off the hook Turk!"
"No...But uh" he tryed to find a reason.
"What...what pitiful lie did you come up with turk" she ranted waiting for him to say something.
"Reno pushed me" he blurted fearful of his life.
"Really where's Reno now" scarlet said sceptically seeing no one but him.
"Over there...he was over there" he said seeing no sign of Reno or Rod for that matter.
She sighed then glared at him as he stumbled up "seriously why do we need you people, if i had my way your department would be destroyed!"
"...Can i go now..."he asked.
"No you'll listen you sorry excuse" Scarlet replied.
"I'm really sorry it was an accident" he blurted truly cursing Reno right now.
"Yeah like I'd believe that coming from a Turk, you're trained to lie what's your name Turk?"Scarlet asked, nunchaku managed to find his feet and ran knocking over an infantryman on his way.
On another floor
Tseng walked along the SOLDIER floor in search of Lazard in case he'd seen his wayward Turks when he found himself in front of Hojo who was ranting and raving at some poor scientists he was working with.
"Tseng what a surprise you haven't got my ancient yet have you?"Hojo asked.
"Her name professor is Aerith" Tseng said calmly.
"Names...all subjects are specimens to me names don't matter" Hojo said pushing the comment away like it was nothing.
"I see..."Tseng replied.
"So where is she?"Hojo inquired again.
"I'm afraid we haven't got her yet" Tseng answered bluntly.
"Incompetent!"Hojo yelled throwing his clipboard at a scientist.
"Please Professor we're working on it" Tseng reassured calmly.
"I'm sure you are" Hojo remarked sarcastically.
"Have you seen four turks come by" Tseng asked changing the subject.
"On this floor?" Hojo asked confused as to why Turks would come to the soldier floor.
"Yes..."Tseng said hiding the twitch forming.
"Well i saw that redheaded moron come by...name escapes me, and there was a spikey haired one who had an idiotic look on his face, and there was a bald man and a Blondie with them" Hojo said nonchantly.
"Did you see where they went professor" Tseng asked an eyebrow raised.
"Towards the 1st class quarters" Hojo muttered.
"I see thank you professor" Tseng faintly smiled.
"I would like some new specimens by the way my last one met an inconvenient end" Hojo said hoping he'd benefit from this intrusion.
"Not my department" Tseng replied while leaving
"Incompetent turk!"Hojo started to rant but Tseng was already gone.
"I feel bad for nunchaku" Rod stated as Reno picked the lock on the door to the break room, Cissnei stood a bit away so no one would associate her with them, Rude was silent.
"He'll be fine" Reno remarked grinning as he succeeded in opening the door "you know you could have just used your card key" a voice remarked.
Reno turned around looking like a deer in the headlights.
"Well what are we doing up here Mr I'm so much better than you" Reno remarked at the tall male turk in front of him, the turk in question shifted a hand though his orange slicked up hair, not even touching his sunglasses.
"I could ask you the same question?"
Reno was about to reply when he heard someone running and running fast...towards them, soon Nunchaku was in sight "damn it lets go!"Reno blurted as they could hear scarlet not far behind.
When they finally reached the elevator and safely made it level 40 they sighed in relief.
"Well that was a disaster" Cissnei remarked taking a seat on a chair in the lobby where executives sat during breaks.
Rod nodded "yeah what shuriken said, uh where's Legend?"
Nunchaku sighed "who cares we're away from scarlet, I will never venture there again"
Rude nodded "it's not wise to anger her"
"You're not kidding" Nunchaku replied.
Reno however had not given up "ok next up is..."
Rod interrupted him mid sentence "another person can't we just go to the Turk floor and do our work now, verdots going to be angry at us".
Reno frowned "no now let's go bother Reeve"
"Reeve? He's not that important" Cissnei pointed out instantly regretting that.
Reno stopped then spoke once more "Ok Neis got a point its Palmer then, he should be easier then Scarlett anyway".
Rod groaned "just kill me now..."
Meanwhile with Legend
"You were you with those turks!"Scarlet yelled but it didn't faze the stoic Turk.
"No...I'm here to train with that new weapon you wanted to test" Legend said making the atmosphere ease considerably.
Scarlett recovered "oh...in that case please come this way"
Legend nodded but in his mind swore Reno would pay 'you owe me now Reno'.
On a side note however I'd like to thank those who added this to alert and their favs, and please do review...i do update faster if you do, even if it's just a short one.
Oh and I've decided as i go along others will join in so if you want to see a particular turk or maybe even soldier join in please say so, or even who the next target is.
