Hello people! I hope you guys like this chapter. I'm trying to post as many chapters as I can before school starts. Thanks to Coquettish Siren and ShadowAssasin01 for reviewing. Please review and read my other stories. Now on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, but the lovely Rei.
Chapter Four
Reno ran out of his office and into Rude's.
"Rude, have you seen Rei!?!"
Rude almost fell out of his chair. He turned to Reno.
"No, wait, what? You lost her!"
"I didn't lose her! I just don't know where she is!"
"You lost her! You better find her before Tseng does."
Something occurred to Reno. What if Tseng did find her? He ran out of the office and knocked on Tseng's door. No one answered. Tseng never left his office unless it was necessary. He went to Elena's office and barged in.
"Reno! Can't you at least knock!?!"
"No, have you seen Tseng?"
"He went to talk to you about the paperwork that you haven't done. Now, get out of here!"
'Shit!' He thought.
He went into the lounge, but no one was there. He looked all over the building, but he didn't find them. He even asked Rufus' secretary if Tseng or Rei had gone into his office.
He went back to his office and was relieved to see Rei sitting on the couch. However, his relief evaporated when he saw Tseng next to her. What seemed strange to him was that Rei was laughing and Tseng was actually smiling. Rei turned around and saw him.
"Rei, where were you? I've been looking everywhere for you."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It was my fault, I came to talk to you about your paperwork and I saw her here. We started talking and I offered to show her around. She looked bored and I didn't really have much to do back in my office."
Reno was at a loss for words. Why was Tseng being so nice? He was expecting him to kill him, but hey he wasn't complaining.
"It's okay. Thanks for taking care of her."
"It was nothing. She's a very charming girl. Where did you meet her? I mean, I don't want to seem rude, but she doesn't seem like the type to fall for someone like you."
Reno stood there not knowing what to say. Thankfully Elena walked in and saved him for having to make something up. Somehow he knew that if he told Tseng that he had let a girl that he didn't know get into Shinra he wouldn't be so happy.
"Sir, here's the paperwork you asked for."
"Thank you, Elena. Have you met Reno's friend?"
"No."
She turned to look at Rei.
"Hi, I'm Elena. It's nice to meet you."
"I'm Rei, it's nice to meet you too."
They shook hands and Elena turned to Tseng.
"Are you sure she's Reno's friend?" She whispered.
"Yes, well, not really. Why?"
"She seems nice."
Reno heard her.
"Hey! What you don't think that I can get a nice girl? That's fucked up, yo!"
"Reno, we never said you couldn't. We just said that it was unlikely. Which reminds me, you didn't tell me how you met her."
He stayed quiet.
"Why don't you come to my office Reno. We need to talk about the paperwork you haven't turned in. Elena, could you stay with Rei while we talk?"
"Yes, Sir."
Reno went with Tseng to his office. Tseng sat down behind his desk.
"Have a seat Reno." He said motioning to the chairs in front of his desk.
'Oh fuck, I'm in deep shit now.' Reno thought.
Tseng only told him to sit down when he was really mad. He sat down.
"Now, why don't you tell me about Rei?"
Reno told him how he had met her. If Tseng was surprised he didn't show it.
"I see, what are you going to do with her?"
"I don't know. She doesn't have anywhere to go so, I thought that she could stay with me."
"That's fine, but you can't bring her here. You can't just bring people here. Reno you're going to have to find someplace to leave her during the day. I understand why you don't want to leave her alone, but she can't stay here. Now, you and Rude have a job to do. She obviously can't go with you so I'll look after her while you're gone."
"Thanks, I'll bring her here."
He walked out and walked to his office.
"At least he didn't mention the paperwork." He said to himself smirking.
He walked into his office and saw Elena and Rei talking.
"Well, thanks for keeping her company yo, now get out."
"Geez! Nice to see you're as bitch as ever."
She left and Reno walked up to Rei.
"Listen, sweetheart, I have to go somewhere to do a job with Rude so Tseng is going to stay with you for a while."
"Okay, good luck Reno."
"Yeah, come on."
He took her to Tseng's office and left with Rude.
"Where's Rei?" Rude asked.
"She's with Tseng."
He looked at Reno strangely.
"I know it's weird, but he offered to do it. He seems to like her."
"I just hope she's alright."
"Yeah, me too."
