SecretTales: What?

Oh yeah and also, I'm sorry if the last chapter was really badly written! I read through it yesterday and found spelling and grammar mistakes everywhere! I'll update it later today to change all the errors I found. Hopefully I did better in this chapter :P Sorry …^_^'

Chapter 9 – In the midst of hell

Cloud had been in deep trouble before. Hell, at times he'd been the definition of trouble itself. He'd faced the near destruction of the world, had friends kidnapped, been trapped himself, and Gaia forbid the awful memories of Don Corneo's mansion where he had to lower himself to cross-dressing. But as he stood there…in that room, in the middle of Shinra HQ, in that way too small soldier disguise, with Tseng staring so fiercely at him that he might sink into the floor and disappear…at that moment he thought that this might be the deepest shit he'd ever been through.

Starting to panic he scanned the room for exits. In the end of the room were two large windows that he might reach in 5 seconds if he was fast enough. Unfortunately, hurling himself out of a window on this floor would be nothing but suicide so that plan was out of the question. As if Tseng could smell his panic, he smiled and took one step closer.

Shit, shit, shit!

Alright, plan B. Behind him was a door, and if he used that exit none of the three Turks in the room could get to him in time before he was out of there. Yes, that was it! He would just open the door, run like hell and get as far away from this place as possible-

I'm an idiot

Right after he opened that door, he would meet a sea of Shinra workers, Turks and guards that would take him down at the snap of Tseng's fingers. He might as well take the window to spare himself the humiliation…

"Hey, I told you this was a bad idea" Zack's voice echoed in his head. If Cloud knew how, he would have smacked him.

"There is nowhere to run, so why don't we stop this charade" Tseng sighed impatiently as he gestured to Cloud's soldier attire.

"Look, eh , boss, it's not what you-" Reno started but Tseng immediately silenced him with a glare.

"You and I will talk plenty later in this office, don't you worry, but right now the only one I want to talk to is Cloud." The tight smile on Tseng's face did not reach his eyes and as he looked at the redheaded Turk, Cloud could almost feel a dark aura emitting from him. Reno's fear for his Turk superior was clearly not uncalled for. He fell silent in a second on the man's command and backed up to stand with Rude. His friend seemed just as intimidated by his boss as Reno, though he masked it well behind his sunglasses.

When he was sure he was not going to be disturbed anymore, Tseng returned his attention to Cloud. The game was up. All that was left to do was to surrender. With a deep breath, he took off his helmet and dropped it carefully on the floor. Then, with the determination not to be overwhelmed by the leader's heavy stare, he stared fearlessly into the Turk's eyes. A moment of silence passed, where none of them seemed willing to make the first move. Then suddenly, a genuine smile crept up in the corner of Tseng's mouth.

"It's been a while since I've seen those eyes" he laughed as he circled the desk and sat down on his big, black chair "I wonder when it was the last time I saw them."

"Probably the last time I fought you and your dogs" Cloud replied icily. Whatever humorous interest Tseng had for him, he did not share the same feeling in return.

"Yes I suppose that's true" Tseng agreed as he rested his elbows on the desk, leaning forward closer to him "but still you followed those dogs into their lair". As Cloud remained silent at this statement he continued. "And do you know then exactly why I let you pass into this lair?"

This was something that had been bothering Cloud. If he'd realized that he was here, it wouldn't be something he'd realized just now. He must've known from the moment he saw him at the gate control, if not even sooner. He pondered this for a second, and then suddenly the Turk's earlier statement came to mind.

"You think I'm the next victim?" it was mix between a question and a statement, but from the look on Tseng's face it seemed like he'd hit the mark. He flipped through a still standing pile of documents that Reno still hadn't knocked of the desk, and pulled out a file marked with big, dark red letters that said Top Secret.

"Right now there's not anyone more fitting with the victim profile than you" he was not smiling anymore, and his face grew more serious as he spoke "we can draw more connection between the company and you than I can count, not to mention that you are a well-known name among our staff. Only this put you high on our list before, but now with your recent accident…" he shook his head in amazement "there's just no question about it. They're gonna come after you, and I want to make sure we get to them before that happens". This made Cloud scoff out loud.

"Sorry but I'm not interested in your help" he replied coldly and turned to the door to leave. At this point it wouldn't matter if he just walked out on them. He didn't get to take as much as a step though before Reno and Rude were surrounding him, weapons up and ready.

"I wouldn't do that Spike" Reno warned him, his EMR dangerously close to his throat. Cloud froze and tried to stand as still as possible. Not because he was scared for his life, but because he was concentrating. Since the two Turks had about the same grace as a rabid elephant, he'd had plenty of time to angle his gun to the incoming enemies. He knew exactly how to act to get them both to the ground, and he had full confident that he could pull it off despite not wielding his usual weapon.

"Reno, Rude. That's enough" it seemed that Tseng knew this too. At first, from the look on Reno's face, he appeared to be considering disobeying his orders. Cloud thought with no doubt that he was holding a serious grudge for bringing him into this mess. But when Rude put a light grip on his arm, he reluctantly lowered his weapon. When Cloud was sure neither of them was indicating any threat to him, he carefully lowered his gun as well. With a sigh of relief Tseng spoke up once again.

"I know you think lowly of us, and rightly so I can admit. But we can protect you, protect your family" he promptly suggested.

"I don't need your help! And why would you anyway? You haven't given a rat's ass before all this" he almost spat the words as he thought of all his previous meetings with the Turks. If he'd learned anything, it was that the Turks always put their duty and loyalty to the company before anything else. For some reason this statement made Reno sigh in frustration.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Cloud questioned which triggered an even more annoyed expression across Reno's face.

"Listen, we don't care about YOU, ok? EVERYTHING IS NOT ABOUT YOU! WHAT WE CARE ABOUT IS THAT YOU ARE OUR ONLY CLUE THAT CAN LEAD US TO EL-….EVERYONE WHO'S MISSING! SO WE CAN'T JUST LET THEM SNATCH YOU AWAY FROM UNDER BENEATH OUR NOSES! …GOT IT?" he was practically screaming loud enough to break the glass windows. When he was done, the room fell completely silent, everyone with their eyes blinking in surprise. Even Tseng was entirely out of words. This was probably the first time any of the three had seen him rash out at anyone like that. The Turk usually had a very 'devil may care' attitude, and never seemed to care enough about anything to get this angry. Eventually however, Rude stepped forward and once again put a calming hand on his shoulder.

"We'll find her" was all he said, and for a second Cloud could swear that he saw an identical frustration hiding beneath those thick glasses. Then his professional mask was back up again, as he straightened up and backed up towards the door. Reno looked up at his bald friend, their eyes appearing to speak for them. Then as if someone had flipped a switch, his tense shoulders relaxed and the trademark fox-grin was back in business.

"He's all yours boss" he said with a waving gesture towards Cloud, before leaving the room with Rude right behind him. Something told Cloud they weren't going very far though. But for now he was alone with Tseng. The man was staring at the red stamped file as if the whole world was depending on that very file.

"You may say that you don't need our help, but the truth is we need yours" he flipped rapidly through the pages as he spoke "but then again, I do think you need our help. Because if you didn't, why would you even be here". As much Cloud hated to admit it, what he said was actually true. After getting busted he'd almost forgotten why he'd come there to begin with. The one thing that could be the answer to all this were their main suspect. The girl who talked about seeing ghosts…the girl who was just like Cloud. This was the only way to get to this murderer and make sure his family was not gonna get hurt. And he knew what he had to do.

"The enemy of an enemy is a friend right?" It was strange how his dead friend's voice didn't scare him anymore. The fact that he still hadn't left yet, that he could feel him hiding everywhere in his reflections despite all the time that had passed should be frightening. But no, what scared Cloud wasn't the fact that he was still there, it was the fact that it felt so natural for him to be there. Like it was becoming a part of him…like it was becoming something permanent. But right now, he had no time for ghosts, or well at least not his own.

"You're right, we should work together" Cloud could hardly believe the words coming out of his own mouth. "I'll let you ask whatever questions you want and I'll let you keep an eye on me to a certain point" he made it very clear on the last statement. The last thing he wanted was to have a bunch of Turks following him around like shadows. He waited for Tseng to nod in approval before continuing: "But I have one condition". Tseng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Oh? And what might that be?" it was hard to see if he was curious or suspicious. Maybe he was both.

"In exchange for me cooperating with you, I want to question your main suspect" from the look on Tseng's face, it appeared that this was not the demand he'd been anticipating. His curiousness was now quickly taken over by his suspiciousness.

"I see, so that's the reason you came here. But I'm sorry I can't let you do that"

"What? Why not?" if he couldn't convince Tseng to do this he had no idea what else he could do.

"That girl is under strict surveillance, and I can't risk that something happens to our only suspect. If you want to see her you better give me a damn good reason why" it was at times like these that you could understand why Tseng became the leader of the Turks. He understood how badly Cloud needed this, but he also understood that it must mean that Cloud knew something he didn't…something important. And he wouldn't be willing to trade until he told him what it was. Cloud bit his lip in thought. What should he do? There was no way he could tell him about the ghosts. He hadn't even told Tifa about that.

"Please, let me talk to her!"

"And why should I?" Yup, Tseng was not budging. But maybe he could meet him halfway…

"Look, she's not telling you anything right? I think if you let me see her, she'll talk to me." Now this caught Tseng's interest.

"And why would she talk to you when she wouldn't even talk to her own husband?" This wasn't working. And if he couldn't convince him, he would be all out of options.

"Don't worry, if it doesn't work there's always plan B…" he jumped a little at Zack's sudden voice. This time it wasn't just an echo in his head, but from the other side of the room. He looked up in surprise. It took a moment for Cloud to spot him, but then he saw him…and he went cold all over. Zack was standing right behind Tseng…flipping a tiny knife playfully between his fingers. Cloud quickly had to remind himself that he was the only one seeing the dead SOLDIER, because this time it was really hard to tell that he wasn't truly there. The previous experience with Aerith had felt real enough, but this time there was pretty much nothing that could separate the dead from the living. He felt just as real as Tseng was which was why Cloud felt really ill at ease when Zack brought his knife closer to the Turk.

"Just ask away spikey. If he refuses to cooperate, well…it's his loss" The knife was almost puncturing Tseng's skin.

"Stop!"

"…Is there a problem?" Without thinking Cloud had said the word out loud and now Tseng was looking confusedly between Cloud and the (to him) empty space behind him.

"Um no…sorry" he tried to look the Turk straight in the eye, but he couldn't help but glancing over to the knife in Zack's hand. It's not real, is what he kept telling himself but…

Can I really take that chance?

He felt nothing but hatred for the man, but that didn't mean he wanted him dead…especially not by the hands of a ghost in his head.

"I'm asking you one more time. Why would she talk to you?" Tseng's patience was running thin. Cloud glanced anxiously at the knife still held all too closely to his throat. He had no choice now. He would have to tell him about the ghost or-

"Maybe I can answer the question for you" Tseng's statement immediately stopped Cloud's track of thoughts.

"What?" he could feel the sweat that slowly started to run down his neck. How could he know? He hadn't said anything that gave him away had he? Maybe he'd had spies following him all this time! In the corner of his eye he could see Zack smiling as he positioned the knife over one of the thicker veins.

"You think she'll talk to you because you both went to see this man didn't you" Tseng's face was shining in triumph as he held up the opened top secret folder. On the page was a familiar face, smiling under a thick, white beard.

"My doctor?" Cloud stared in confusion at the picture. What did his doctor have to do with this?

"Yes, Dr. Jonathan Harrison to be exact" Tseng mused "You, and I'm guessing, our main suspect, along with a large number of the victims, have all been to see this doctor at least once. So why don't you stop pretending and tell me the truth". Cloud was just about to protest when it hit him. This was his chance! His get-out-of-jail-free card!

"That's right. I thought since we were both his patient, she would have more trust in me than with the company." The smile of victory on Tseng's face told him the lie went perfectly past him without suspicion.

"Just as I thought" he closed the file and brought it with him as he walked up to Cloud "Alright, I'll let you see her" he held up the file for Cloud to take, but just before it hit his hand Tseng pulled it back slightly "on one condition". Cloud groaned. Of course it wouldn't be this easy.

"What condition?"

"You've already agreed to work with us, and for that I'm grateful. But if you're going to meet our main suspect I'll want my men to keep a close eye on you" he put the file lightly in Cloud's hand "Like Reno said: 'we wouldn't want the enemy to snatch you away from under beneath our noses', and that means close surveillance 24/7. Deal, or no deal?" At this point Cloud could feel a big headache coming on. But what choice did he have? He gave a light nod and took the file from Tseng. In the same moment as he did, Zack also disappeared…well at least from clear view. Cloud could still feel his friend lurking in the reflections, just like before.

"Then we have an agreement. Come right this way." They both went out the door and continued further down the long corridor. The further in they went the more guards they could see standing along the walls. Finally they arrived at a door completely crowded with guards. As soon as they arrived, all the guards straightened up at the presence of the Turk leader. Somewhere among the crowd Cloud could also spot Reno and Rude, who both didn't seem at all surprised at the arrival of their boss and himself.

"I guess this means we'll be working together then" Reno sighed as if the thought of it was as appealing as cleaning toilets. How he knew of the arrangements Cloud had no idea, but on the other hand, information probably travelled pretty fast around here. Cloud only gave the thought a second though, because now Tseng was opening the door. This was it, his only chance to get some answers.

"5 minutes is all I can give you. There are other people than me in charge around here and they would probably be more than happy to drag you away for questioning." Tseng said firmly as he opened the door for him "you better make her talk". Cloud certainly hoped so too. He walked quickly into the room, and he flinched a little as he heard the door close behind him. The room was completely quiet. In front of him stood a table with two chairs around it, and in one of them was a woman in chains. She had long, black, curly hair that probably looked beautiful when she tended to it, but now it was a crazy mess, probably from putting up a good fight. Through the tangled mess of hair, he saw two clear blue eyes that stared dead at the floor.

"Hello?" he said carefully, trying not to startle her. At first there was no reaction, but then she slowly turned her head towards him. Now that Cloud could see her eyes clearly, he really felt for the lady. She had thick, dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she probably hadn't slept in days, and from the look in her eyes…the woman was heartbroken. It was the eyes of someone who had lost everything. From the look of it, she didn't seem to care that he was there at all.

"If you are here to question me don't bother" She sighed and turned her eyes back to the floor. He waited for her to say something else, but when she remained silent he went and sat in the chair in front of her.

"I'm not one of them" he said and pointed at his clothes "don't let the uniform fool you. I normally wouldn't want anything to do with these assholes" something he said was apparently very funny since this made the woman burst out into laughter. After laughing almost to the burst of tears, she looked up at him.

"You do know that until one week ago I was a part of these assholes" Realization hit him as soon as she said it. This woman had worked for the company before she became their main suspect. Embarrassed he immediately started to apologize, but the woman waved it off.

"It's ok. It's just-"she started laughing again and needed to take a quick breath before continuing "It's just that all this time I've had people coming in and out, ordering me to tell the truth…to show my loyalty to the company. And then, all of a sudden, you show up and practically tell me to screw the company altogether". She laughed hard for a few minutes before slowly calming down, breathing heavily in exhaustion. Then suddenly, all the humor was gone, and tears started running down her face.

"You're not like the others are you" she said while attempting to smile "I can see it in your eyes". Cloud stared sympathetically at her. The thought of being locked inside this room, accused of both murder, conspiracy, and being completely out of her mind…was the thing he feared the most. And she had already been through it.

"What's your name?" he asked her.

"Jane. Jane Stanson" she said quietly while reaching forward a restrained handshake. He shook it carefully, feeling the weak grasp of her hand. How could this have happened to her?

"I'm Cloud. Do you think you could tell me what happened?" he asked her gently. She looked down at floor, her hands trembling slightly in her shackles. He wanted to put his hand on hers in other to comfort her, but decided against it. Instead he gave her a moment to compose herself, and after a few deep breaths she started to speak.

"It started around three weeks ago. I had just arrived back from a mission and had some time off for myself. And then…" she shook her head sadly "then I started…seeing things". Cloud swallowed hard. She'd hardly begun telling her version of the story and it was already matching his own.

"Define seeing things" he encouraged her, though he wasn't sure if he really wanted to know. When she didn't answer right away he added "No matter what you say, I will never accuse you of being crazy". She looked at him, and he could see tears starting to build up in her eyes. He repeated himself once more "No matter what…". A tear fell on her cheek as she took a shaky breath before she proceeded.

"I started seeing things…things that shouldn't be there…people that couldn't possibly be there…" her eyes seemed to dream herself away "the first one to show up was Tom"

"Tom?"

"My brother" she explained absently "he died last year. Car accident…I was driving". After that Cloud wasn't sure if she was talking him or to herself. "It started out as glimpses, or as he preferred to call it, 'shorter visits'" Big tears started to drip down at the table as she balled her hands up into tight fists. "Then not long after that, I started seeing my father…and my mother…my best friend…all people that have been dead a long time now" she lifted her hand in reflex to wipe away her tears, but the chain around her wrist stopped her. This made her laugh a little halfheartedly while mumbling something about being stuck to that chair too long. Feeling a little awkward for her, he took off one of his gloves and used it to wipe away most of the tears around Jane's cheeks. It probably wouldn't help much as she was still crying, but the woman smiled at him with appreciation.

"Of course I understood that something was wrong early on. No sane person would be seeing ghost right?" she made an attempt to make it sound funny, but Cloud was not laughing. He knew exactly how she felt.

"As time passed their 'visits' became longer and longer. I went to the hospital, hoping they could help me somehow, but they couldn't find anything wrong with me. Soon they didn't just appear and disappear, but…simply remained by my side" like she'd heard a sudden noise, she abruptly turned her head towards the corner of the room. A sad smile covered her lips.

"…They are here now aren't they" Cloud said grimly. She nodded in answer, not taking her eyes of the empty corner. He sighed and rested his head in his hands. Through his fingers he caught a glimpse of a shining blue eye reflecting in the table. It was not his own, nor was it Jane's. Angrily he slammed his hands over the table, trying to cover up any spot where he might see a reflection. Jane stared confusedly, but then suddenly eyes widened as if everything became clear to her.

"You see them too don't you…that's why you came here" she stared at him for a while, like she was in a sort of chock-like state. More tears started flowing from her eyes, only this time it was not tears of sadness, but of relief. "You see them too!" she repeated happily like she could not believe her own words. Then, like a mantra, she started whispering all over again 'I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy'. Cloud could almost feel his own eyes watering in relief. If he'd come here, and found out that he was the only one seeing what he saw…he feared he would have gone crazy for real. But he was still not completely happy with this discovery, because if ghosts truly were following him around, he had one question.

"Why are they here?" he hadn't meant to sound so desperate, but he couldn't help it. He'd been holding that question for himself for so long that it was almost painful to say it out loud. Now it was Jane's turn to give him a sympathetic look.

"Isn't it obvious? They are here because they blame us…they are here because we are the ones that should be dead." A kick in the nuts had been less painful than hearing those words. It was the words Cloud had feared to hear ever since he'd started seeing the dead. He remembered his friends' haunting words: "Why?". From the beginning he should have realized what it meant.

Why did you kill me?

It's true that he'd never intentionally taken their lives, but both of them died all because of him. He should have done something to stop it. He should have done more! Hell, he should've been the one who died! Jane was staring at her hands that now had started to tremble.

"And n-n-now…they are w-waiting for us to f-f-follow them into the a-a-afterlife" her voice was so shaky that it was hard to make out what she was saying. She no longer paid any attention to Cloud either. Her eyes were glued to the corner of the room again, and the terrified look on her face only hinted on whatever demons she was facing there. At the sight of her, Cloud could almost feel Zack's presence getting stronger. He wanted to get out of here, and get as far away as possible from this place. Quickly he decided to sum up this interrogation, and pulled out the file that Tseng had given him.

"Have you seen this man before?" he demanded, showing her the picture of Dr. Harrison. Still glancing anxiously to the dark corner of the room, Jane tried to focus her eyes on the tiny picture.

"Yes. He's my best friend's grandfather" she finally said after studying it for a while. So Tseng had been right after all.

"Have you seen him any time recently" he asked her urgently. She contemplated this for a second, not seeming entirely sure.

"No I don't think-…wait…yes I saw him. Just after the mission. Things had been kind of rough and he offered me a free, private check-up" she concluded. That would explain why Tseng wasn't sure if she'd seen the doctor. A private check-up wouldn't show on any records. He had a really bad feeling about this.

"You don't think that it has anything to do with this do you? It was just a standard check up! I just got a little something for the pain in my leg, and then-" before she could finish the sentence Cloud interrupted her.

"'Something for the pain?' You mean like a shot?" he remembered the syringe with water-like content he got at the earlier visit that day.

"Yes" she nodded in confirmation "and they gave me a new one when I came there the second time…" she trailed off as she thought about this. There was no question about it now. Dr. Harrison played some part in these murders and disappearances. That reminded him of another unanswered question.

"How did you end up as a main suspect in this investigation in the first place?" something really big must've happened for her to end up like this. He could see the horror return to her eyes, but she avoided looking straight at him.

"I'm…I'm honestly n-n-not exactly sure w-what happened" the trembling in her voice was back. This was obviously very hard for her to talk about.

"It's ok. Just tell me what you remember" Cloud gently assured her. She nodded slowly, but didn't say anything. Her eyes were at the floor, with her messy hair covering all of her face. It almost felt like she was trying to hide in that beautiful mass of curly hair. It was almost exactly the way she'd looked when he'd first entered the room. He wanted to urge her to say something, but at the same time he didn't want to pressure her. Right now she seemed so small and so fragile. Then suddenly a small whisper breathed through her tangled hair.

"I think they did it…" her whole body was shaking now "one day I just blacked out. I have no idea for how long I was out…and then when I suddenly came round I was…" she choked on her breath, sobbing quietly to herself. Despite her greatest effort, the end of her sentence became a crying mess of words. "I was surrounded by four dead bodies. There was a Turk, a-and two guards and I think one of them was a s-secretary". She leaned her head on her lap, crying out her mantra "I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, I'M NOT CRAZY!". It was a heartbreaking sight. Carefully Cloud walked over and kneeled by her side, laying a comforting hand on her back.

"Just because you were there doesn't mean that you killed them" he said surely as he gently stroke her back. She shook her head violently, as if he didn't understand her.

"I was holding the knife Cloud…" she cried "When they found me there I was holding the weapon that killed them! And-" her head turned sharply towards the corner again. Whatever ghost or invisible creature was standing there scared her beyond comprehension. Scared that she was going to have a heart attack he put himself between her and the corner, staring reassuringly into her teary blue eyes.

"I won't let them hurt you" it was not a lie, though he wasn't sure how to fight something he could not see. Even though he stood in front of her, her eyes had not left the corner, and when she spoke up again it was not to Cloud she was speaking.

"I saw you there Tom…laughing in a pool of their blood. You did this! I don't know how, but you made me do this!" she screamed at the brother he could not see "I love you…and I will always love you…but after I woke up by that fallen building I…I will never forgive you!"

"Jane…I-" more than that Cloud didn't get to say until loud screams and gunshots were heard outside. He couldn't even react before the door flew open and an ear-bleeding bang echoed through the small room. A sharp, burning pain hit his arm and he fell hard to the ground. He tried to get up fast despite the pain, but a strong foot kicked him down on the ground. With no way of moving he was pressed down on his stomach. He heard Jane gasp, and the sound of a gun getting loaded.

"No, JANE!" he screamed, but his voice was overpowered by the ringing gunshot. The room met an eerie silence, and with his face pressed against the floor he saw large drops of blood dropping on the floor in front of him. For a moment he could only gap in chock. The thought that the woman he'd been talking to only seconds ago was dead felt almost unreal to him. But chock was soon overtaken by anger, and he raged wildly on the floor trying to in any way physically hurt this cold blooded murderer.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" he screamed in blind rage. For a moment he almost overpowered his captor who struggled a great deal to keep him where he was. Then suddenly he felt a quick, throbbing sting in his upper arm that made him cry out pain. He wanted to tear this guy apart, but then the pain slowly started to disappear, along with the feeling in his arms and legs.

What's…happening to me…?

His eyes grew tired and then fear suddenly struck him. A syringe! They'd drugged him! He fought with all his might against whatever poison was spreading through his body, but there was no use. Within seconds he couldn't move a single muscle and he could barely hold himself over the surface of unconsciousness. Then suddenly he felt a hand lightly patting his head, and a male voice whispered in his ear.

"It's not your time yet, but don't worry. I will come for you…"

His voice…I think I have heard it somewhere…

Then he sank into the darkness…

A/N: What can I say, I love cliffhangers ;) Do tell me what you thought about this chapter. I was experimenting a little with it so I wasn't sure if the final thing would be any good :P See ya!
