Chapter 9
" You! No you're dead. They told me you were dead." Sarah couldn't believe her eyes, before her stood one of the former employees of Shinra.
" They didn't lie to you, I am dead. Rufus made sure of that. That's how I met my new boss." Elena said
" This is impossible."
" Nothing is impossible. Next time you see Rufus, tell him that he has been warned. My employer seeks him out. It's only a matter of time before we find him."
Sarah was too shocked to act, as the former Turk passed her. Thinking quickly she spoke.
" Who's your new boss?"
" Someone who taught me not to say to much." Elena said, exiting the office.
Oh my god, I have to tell Rufus. Sarah thought to herself. But she knew that her job had to come first. She crossed over two the safe and entered the combination. Opening it she couldn't believe her eyes. All that was in the safe was a red rock, and an envelope. Knowing that it had to be more than that, she picked the items up and turned around, just in time to receive a boot in her face. Her vision blurred, she could barely make out her attackers. There where two of them. One was Elena, the other she had never seen before. All she could make out was that it was a very attractive male with black hair. He drew a sword and approached her.
" No, please don't. I have information. I can tell you where to find Rufus."
The man stopped raising his sword to strike. " Well, tell." He said.
" He is hidden in a base outside Mideel."
" Thanks." The man said. Then he continued to raise his sword.
" Wait, I told you what you wanted to kn…" the man lowered the blade to her throat.
" Now that I think of it, I will let you live. I am not a monster. I am the angel of vengeance."
Sarah watched as the man sheathed his sword and turned to leave. As he passed her Elena fell into step beside him. When they reached the door Elena turned around and rushed to Sarah's side, grabbing the envelope and the rock, she ran out of the room.
When Sarah reached the helicopter, she ordered the pilot to take off. Reluctantly he does, noting that she didn't have anything.
" Where are we going now?" the pilot asked
" To the base outside shell village." She told him. Well at least she tricked them into going on a wild goose chase.
" See Elena? That is why you cant trust a snitch." The man said, watching the helicopter take off, going in the opposite direction.
" But couldn't they just be going on another mission?" Elena asked.
" Not after what we just got hold of." The man replied, raising his hand and aiming it at helicopter. The helicopter exploded, falling to the ground. They watched as I burned, making sure no one survived.
" The pilot is getting away." Elena announced, watching the crippled man drag himself away from the wreck.
" That's ok, as long as she's dead. Liars I hate liars." He said.
" So what now?"
" We head back to Cosmo Canyon, and gather the others. Then we return to the promise land."
" What, why?"
" To reap vengeance on the biggest liar of them all, Strife."
