Distrust and Sarcasm

Me and Nevada wandered hastily towards the Director's office.

When we got there, we opened the door.

Empty. The room was completely deserted.

Feeling a little confused, I decided to call on an "angel", so to speak.

"F.I.L.S.S, where's the Director?" I asked.

"I'm sorry Agent Vermont, but the Director has to tend to other duties, shall I leave a message?" The pleasant voice of F.I.L.S.S replied.

"No, it's fine, but let me know when he's back" I ordered.

"Affirmative" She replied.

I turned around and walked towards the door, Nevada soon copied.

An orange flash caught my attention, I turned to face the visor of Omicron.

"May I suggest relaxing in the lounge until the Director returns?" His monotone voice resonated.

"He has a point. May as well kill some time" Nevada followed.

"Fuck it, let's go to the lounge, nothing to do anyway"

Upon entering the lounge, there were several characters willing to converse with us. Washington, Maine, South and an unfamiliar face.

Me and Nevada took a seat on a sofa that being occupied by South.

"Sup?" She said, as I sank into the cushion.

"Hey" Me and Nevada said in unison.

"Hey Monty, this the new guy?" She inquired.

"Yeah, say hello to Nevada, South" I spoke in an introductory tone.

"Hey" "Hi".

After brief introductions we decided to talk.

After about thirty or so minutes of talking about life in general, I started to wonder what Zeta was up to, as being quiet was odd, given her happy nature.

"Hey Z, you there?" I asked.

"Of course" She replied cheerily.

"Well, care to come and join us?" I invited.

After a few seconds of contemplating this decision, she finally gave in and appeared, sat on my shoulder, reading a book.

"Is this the reason why you've been so quiet?" My curiosity peaking.

"Uh-huh" She said, not diverting herself from the book.

Gaining the attention of Wash and Maine, they both decided to come over and examine Zeta. Sigma must have picked up on this new interest, as he soon appeared next to Zeta, trying to read over her shoulder.

"May I ask what you are reading, sister?" His voice caused a shiver to run down my spine. This one was definitely the creepiest.

"That's a book, Sigma" She replied sarcastically.

He then gave the shit-scariest smile I have ever seen and opened his mouth to reply.

"Very well, sister. I see you are... occupied, with your reading material" He then gave me another smile and logged off.

Thank god I still had my helmet on, as people would see the the evil look I was giving Sigma's last known location.

I really, really don't trust him around my A.I...

I'm back from the dead ladies and gentleman! Sorry for the long-ass absence but I was doing an awful lot of coursework and my laptop had a screen bleed... OH WELL! I got a far more powerful PC and a lot more time on my hands. Also, before I forget, I'm currently working on another FanFic based on the siege on Madrigal (Halo, for those that don't understand) for anyone that is interested.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this short one, wrote it in about an hour.

Have a good one! - Hydra
