Ties

Me and Shalua were sittin' waitin' fer Vinnie tae wake up. Well he's been through quite a bit the day so I cannae blame him. Angie wis dead tired though. She hadnae slept in months fae the look of her.

Gah I wis so bored. I couldnae even look up all those Shinra files I wis sent a while back. I wis gonnae dae it the day but... well shit happens.

"What is the relationship between Vincent and Angevale?" Shalua asked after the long silence. Wit wis goin' on wi' Angie and Vinnie...? They wannae fuck one another I can tell that much. Nah seriously I've seen the way Vinnie looks at her. And the way Angie looks at him sometimes if she keeps eye contact fer more than ten seconds.

"Well... he jist thinks they're friends and she's madly in love wi' him," I answered shortly and sweetly. "But beyond that... it's tae complicated, even if ye are one of WRO's best scientists. I'm jist the future sister-in-law."

"Does Vincent even know how Angevale feels?" I wis always confused why Shalua never called her Angie. I mean they were friends and stuff it's no like they were jist work mates like at my old job at the pub.

"The bloke's stupid, he really is," I telt her. "He spends the most time around her. Now either she's good at hiding things or he's jist stupid."

"You think it's the latter?" Shalua asked wi' a smile on her face.

"Aye, Angie's no good at hiding things, Chris' telt me everything and Omen can spot things fae a mile aff," I went on, wavin' my hands around a wee bit. "So yeah, Vinnie's an idiot. Which is shite 'cause they'd be really good together. Dae Angie a bit of good tae," I rubbed the back of my head as Shalua looked up at me and raised her eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"Wit dae ye mean 'wit dae I mean'?" I asked back as though it wis the most obvious thing in the world. Kinda is really. "Have ye seen how skinny Angie is? She's like a toothpick she'd snap if ye poked her. She never eats, I'm glad she disnae drink though."

"She hardly sleeps as well, I've noticed her wander the building when I'm working late," Shalua added.

"Aye and Chris telt me she's had no periods fer three years," I nodded, leanin' back against the table. "I cannae imagine being able tae deal with that. That'd terrify me if that ever happened tae me," I then thought of somethin' ironic. "Ye know wit? We were naggin' at Angie tae sleep and we've been up most of the night watchin' Vinnie." Shalua laughed a bit before gettin' up. "Where ye goin'?"

"To get Angevale. Reeve wants to discuss what happened," She left the room and left me wi' Vinnie. I went up tae the container and crossed my arms.

I did 'ave that feelin' that Vinnie had some sort of attraction towards Angie. It wis jist a feelin', a really strong feelin'. It jist so feckin' obvious. I mean he spends so much time wi' her. She's the only one wi' Vinnie's phone number... well until she had tae hand it out tae everyone else which is probably fer the best. Well yeah it is fer the best seein' as they would rather lock themselves away before making any social interactions wi' anyone bar each other. Plus I've actually seen him willingly hug her as well. I bet they've nearly kissed as well. And he talks tae her a lot. Like in Kalm he wis practically mute tae me. He's really protective about Angie tae, there must be some sort of romantic undertone somewhere.

... Then again I could be totally wrong.

I sat at the computer and signed intae my account. I opened my emails and uploaded the documents I wis sent and began tae read them. It wis fae Scarlet's old files before she got killed three years ago. It wis shite about how Deepground used to be a medical facility and then Hojo popped doon one day and then shite hit the fan which brought us tae where we the day.

But that wis when it clicked. When I scrolled doon the pages I kept seeing more and more of it makin' sense. The evolution of the Tsviets. How it all came about. It started small... then... eight year ago...

When the Soldier "G" went rogue...

"Genesis... ye didnae..." I whispered tae myself. It wis there. Black and white and clear as feckin' day. When Genesis went rogue he inspired the construction of the most powerful army Shinra ever developed. "Silent Mother ye didnae Genesis..." It may not 'ave been his fault but... but he indirectly catalysed the horror of Deepground.

Quickly I took out my phone and phoned Omen. I need tae tell someone and I didnae think Angie would answer at the moment. I can tell her in person.

"Nevi? ... Do you know what time it is?" Omen's groggy voice answered.

"Naw, no really," I replied. "But listen tae me."

"Gah... fine. Sleep's overrated," He remarked. Even after bein' jist woken up he still manages tae make wee quips.

"It's important, Omen!" I snapped. "I think I know why Deepground want Angie."

"Wait. Who wants Angie why now?" ... That'll be sleep talkin' 'cause I wis wi' Reeve when he telt Cid and Omen about Deepground. A few hours before Vinnie, Angie and Shalua came back.

"Omen. Focus... I think Genesis may 'ave been involved wi' Deepground..."
