Tseng lead her down the hallway past Hojos office. The Professor saw her as she and the Turk passed by. He never said a word. He just cringed. Not that he cared or anything but he had a good idea what the President wanted with her and he didn't like it one bit. It would take her away from the labs from time to time. So unfortunately for him it would mean time less spent on "redesigning" her and more time on Mako Reactors and giving some sort of attention to SOLDIER. She saw how disappointed he was and quickly caught up to Tseng.

Netzach spoke up amongst the silence. "What does the President want with me?"

"You will have to ask him yourself Netzach."

"…Ok."

She was kind of hoping for an answer straight from the Turk himself, but no such luck. If there was anything she had learnt about Tseng was that he was a quiet man. And very secretive when need be.

"Does this have anything to do with….what happened two weeks ago? Because if it is, I'm sorry… for whatever I did."

Tseng stopped in his tracks and turned to face the child before him. He looked down at her, in an almost calming way. But then again when was this man not calm? "It has nothing to do with the events of two weeks ago."

Netzachs eyes darted from right to left then to her feet before she muttered an almost silent "oh." She wanted to continue walking. But Tseng just stood there over looking her.

"Netzach?"

She felt awkward. This was the same man after all that witnessed her downfall into becoming a murderer. "You know they would have done worse things to her if you hadn't done what you did. It was a better fate for her and she knew it. Better to be put to death at your hands rather then my own or the hands of another in ShinRa. Although actually it is myself that should be asking for forgiveness."

The girls head raised and her eyes look softly up to the Turk. "Why?" It was a simple question. One he should be able to answer.

"Because I simply stood there and let you go through with it. It was a wrong on my behalf." Again her eyes looked down to the floor beneath her feet, white strands of hair covered her face. "Oh. I…."

"This way."

The stoic Turk led the way into the evaluator. He held the door open until she caught up and slipped in herself. It was only a couple of floors up to the 70th. The two remained silent for the rest of the trip as he accompanied her into the Presidents office. The secretary knew Tseng, she gave him a sweet smile before she returned to her work. He acknowledged her but never returned the smile. He probably never did. But then again being "nice" was never in the Turks job description.

She was beginning to be nervous as she walked up the stairs towards the CEOs office. She felt the sudden urge to slow down, she did and Tseng noticed. He looked back to her over his shoulder. He didn't say anything but she saw some sort of encouragement in his eyes. It was only for a moment before he turned his gaze back to what lay in front of him. He walked into the office with her, and there she stood before a very large desk. Tseng automatically went to the President side. Not that she would do anything it was just his place so to speak.

"Sir."

The ageing man looked up from his paper work. He must have been in his late forties, perhaps even early fifties. It was amazing enough to her that even though his hair was thinning it was still blond. He was overweight and he wore a gaudy red, yet immaculate suit. He stood up and looked at her for a second as he organized his paperwork to put it aside for the moment.

"I'm sorry there are no chairs or I would offer you a seat."

"…..It's… ok. I don't need one."

"Ah, straight to business then eh?" Netzach only looked at the man curiously. She dared even enough to look him in the eyes. However this time she saw none of the anger swelling up in them. Although the look and the feel he gave off she certainly didn't like.

"Your much like your father Netzach, he was never one for small talk either. But I only have a short amount of time so I'll be quick. Netzach, let's say I have a favour of you to ask?" The silver hair girl took in a deep breath. "What is this favour?"

"Something is going on, on the inside of ShinRa Inc. I have some terrible feelings about my son, Rufus. I believe he's been doing some things he shouldn't."

"Like what?"

After flicking a lighter a few times he lit a cigar. He took a few puffs of it before he cradled it in his right hand, in between his fingers. This wasn't something that was easy for him she figured, but she also felt as if he was waiting for this….whatever it was.

"My dear boy has been up to some rather nasty things, many I can't prove because he's hidden his tracks well. A little to well if you ask me. He's always trying to prove he could run the company better then myself, and-"

"Do you mean to say, Mr President? That your own son is trying to kill you so he could take over the company?"

"Smart one isn't she Tseng?" Netzach wasn't really that shocked by the news. Rufus had been acting rather suspicious, even on the day of their reunion when she was caught in the rafters. He was talking to someone that night. But since ShinRa has been know to knock off whomever the pleased… but then again maybe that's why Rufus would feel as if he could just kill his father and be done with it. He's ordered to have others killed so why not his old man to?

"You have seemed to have gotten to know him a bit. The boy doesn't have many friends. He's quiet a bit of a loner!"

She obviously didn't like where this was going. "What does this got to do with me Mr President?"

"To the point indeed. You my dear are going to strengthen your relationship with him. Find out what the hell he is planning and-"

"And then what?" She was speaking out of tone, it meant disrespect. But really, she didn't give a damn. She didn't care for the morals that went along with meeting the CEO of ShinRa Inc. The whole idea had slipped her mind, she almost forgotten what "manners" where if it were not for John… but now he's gone. "Then…."

"Then I'll have a little "chat" with the boy. He doesn't deserve this company, not yet. It is mine and I will see to how it operates. Unfortunately he is my only heir. However, I will not stand idly by while my own son orchestrates my assassination. These are your new orders my girl. Befriend Rufus, discover his course of action and report back. Use whatever method you think will be of value to you. Stand by them and do no hinder from them is that understood?" She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was to spy on Rufus ShinRa. What if he caught on? What would he do with her?

"Why me sir?"

"You're the only one that is in the company that is close enough to his age. Now I'm giving you free access around the entire ShinRa building for you to be able to follow him around."

"But the Prof-"

"Hojo will cooperate or he looses his job and his precious funding. If Rufus were to wish to take you somewhere with him, you will have to ask of course, but as I said Hojo will cooperate. Although you are still required for Hojos "project". You are still to report to him at your usual time, understood?" The girl simply nodded, she was given some freedom finally but it was only to spy on Rufus. The rest of it was the same. She still had to go in for "sessions" with Hojo, still had to do her training with Garrius, and she was still a specimen.

"This is your first big mission Netzach. Do not fail ShinRa." It almost sounded like a threat. The "Do not fail ShinRa" bit. And at the sound of it her heart almost skipped a beat. The old man didn't seem to notice, he just went back to sit at his desk to finish up whatever paperwork he had. "Tseng will fill you in on the rest as he escorts you back to your quarters." It was the last thing he said to her.

She walked out of that office with a new dread. A new fear. Tseng quietly escorted her back into the elevator. He didn't say a word, since nothing needed to be said. It was a shame though. She and Rufus actually had some sort of bond, even though all they did was taunting one another. But it was a bond nonetheless.

The ride down was silent. Until the girl broke the silence. The Turk glanced down at her for a moment before he raised his head again to look at the doors of the elevator.

"Aren't you supposed to "fill me in"?"

"If you want."

"Sure."

"You know your mission Netzach. You are to start tomorrow, after you've received your treatment from Professor Hojo first thing in the morning. Your training session with General Garrius will take place after that as it always does. He as well has been notified of your importance in this mission."

"Garrius knows?" Wonderful she thought, he would use this for some sort of training she knew it. "Not really" The girl looked up at the Turk in surprise. "All that he is aware of is that you are to be involved in a special ops that is fully controlled by Turk members. And only Turk members. He is not to ask questions. So if he starts to hound you tell him that he will have to come talk to myself, understood?"

"Yea, I guess."

The elevator stopped. They were back on the 68th floor. Tseng took her back to her room, waited until she had covered herself in her blankets and closed the door. Hojo was no where in sight. But she could hear him down the hall. After the Turk left the Professor peered into her room, letting a slit of light shin past his figure.

"I know you're not asleep." His tone was still stiff as ever, even if it was only a whisper. Netzach remained silent; she was tired and really didn't feel like battling it out with the scientist tonight.

"Just to let you know since tomorrow you're starting off on your little adventure, I'm doubling your intake."

He left after that. Netzach actually for once not caring rolled over and went to sleep, afraid of what kind of trouble she would find herself in as she followed Rufus around. Was he really trying to kill his father off? Was he the one that planned the entire ordeal that happened two weeks ago at the ShinRa mansion? And how long had the President known about this, or at least assumed that his own son was out for his blood?
