Chapter 3: InfiltrationbrbrThank Colleen she let me ride her chocobo with her. I felt so tired and weak. Riding a chocobo was actually pretty fun. This thing seemed to like me. Tina was riding beside us. I could tell she was sad. We both had the same ordeals. Colleen was resting on my shoulder. She looked pretty cute while she was sleeping. I could see Midgar in the distance. I pointed to the largest building, which appeared to be in the middle.brbrIs that it? I asked Tina.brbrbrbrIt was huge. There were lights all around it. I didn't know how we were going to get into a place like that. It looked heavily guarded. I didn't notice it before because I've never been that deep into Midgar.brbrHow are we going to get into a place like that?There's a secret entrance to the left of the main one. It will take a while to get inside but it's the only choice we've got.How do you know all this?brbrShe kept silent for a while. How did she really know all this? I was guessing she tried to get in before.brbrI used to work for them...brbrShe rode on ahead. She used to be in Shin-Ra? How could that be I wonder? It was only a short time until we got to Midgar. Colleen woke up and I helped her off the chocobo. I walked over to Tina. This place was really huge. I knew it would take a miracle to get inside.brbrWe can't infiltrate this place that easily.I know we'll need a key card. Each elevator needs one. The stairs don't lead to the top of course. I only have the key card for floor 33. We can access every floor below also.brbrShe took out a small card and showed it to me. How the heck were we going to get to the top? Colleen seemed tired. I think she got hurt in Bevelle. Maybe the smoke was affecting her breathing. I walked over to her.brbrAre you okay?Yeah, I'm fine. Something wrong?No I was just worried.brbrShe smiled knowing that. I can tell something was bothering her though. My chest was hurting again. I almost collapsed. Colleen caught me before I fell.brbrKhanh, what's wrong?No, I'm fine, just tired.Tina, who's the leader of Shin-Ra?Rufus, head of Shin-Ra, expert gun marksman and was once leader of Bevelle.Once the leader? He would just destroy his own town like that...how fricken cold can the guy be?Hey I worked for him... I know.brbrWe started for the main building. Once we got there the main entrance was guarded by what appeared to be Shin-Ra guards. I looked around for the secret entrance. I saw a little alley to the left of the building. I followed Tina. The guards were easy to sneak past. Lazy bastards were sleeping on the job. After we made it into the secret entrance I looked up. I pointed up.brbrFloor 33 is all the way up there!?What did you expect an escalator?brbrI sighed. I couldn't walk all the way up there with my injury. I was afraid I might faint. I guess we had to run up though. It was like an endless run. It felt like I was running nowhere. Tina and Colleen kept ahead of me and I was getting tired quickly. We made it to floor 26. I stopped.brbrWhat's wrong?I can't go on...you go ahead. I'm going to go in here and check things out.You might get caught!Same chances up there right?brbrI opened the door. Damn never seen a room this bright before. As I closed the door someone shoved it open. It was Colleen.brbrYou're not going anywhere without me anymore.brbrI smiled at her. She smiled back. I felt the same strange gentleness coming from it.brbrTina will meet up with us later.brbrI looked around. This seemed like someplace where people took breaks. How retarded.brbrI chose the right floor didn't I... I said as I looked around.brbrShe laughed a bit. I decided to go take a look around. Everyone seemed friendly for some reason. This felt like a trap or something. I walked up to what seemed like a waiter. What the hell was going on here?brbrWhere's Rufus? I glared.brbrOhhhh, you must be one of the guys that came to fix the computers!brbrI didn't know what the heck he was talking about. He gave me a key card, which had the number 52. Just my luck that some idiot thought I was a repairman. How stupid were these people? I laughed at the thought. As I got into the elevator I pressed floor 52.brbrColleen, is it me or are these people just plain idiots?I don't know what's going on either.This place doesn't seem like a military base or anything.Of course not. This is paradise for their workers. Shin-Ra doesn't earn all of their money of course you should know that by now. They conduct their military operations on the top floor.brbrThe elevator door opened and out we went. I walked out slowly and took a look around. This floor seemed like a weather station. Computers were all around. I saw a room in the middle, which seemed to be a place for meetings. I had to find a way to the top. I looked around the room. Nothing was here except some papers. Colleen and I decided to split up for now. I looked around outside the room but I couldn't find anything. People seemed to be silent here. I was beginning to get impatient. This was really pissing me off. I just wanted to find Rufus and make him suffer. I concentrated on finding a way to the top. I saw a flight of stairs around the corner. It was leading to floor 53. I found Colleen and told her about it. We hid near the stairs. I was just about to go until she held me back.brbrEach set of stairs has a security device. If we don't have the key card we can get into serious trouble.Damn. So how do we get up?I don't know to be honest.brbrI felt a slight tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see a man dressed in black. He was holding some type of rod. I looked at him. He didn't do anything at all. I didn't know whether I should've said something or not.brbrYou don't belong here do you?brbrI stayed silent. All the sudden everything was fading.brbr-----------------------------------------------------------brbr[Colleen's Point of View]brbrWhat happened? Somebody hit me from behind. My head still hurts from the blow. I looked around. It seems I was locked up in a cell. There were solid walls all around me and I couldn't here anything from the outside. Khanh was lying on a bed nearby. I hurried over to him. He seemed all right. I decided to let him rest.brbrbrbrI looked around. Who was that? I went over to the wall near Khanh.brbrWho is it?It's me, Tina.Tina? How did you get here?Pshh one of those damn guys hit me from behind and locked me up in this place. Where's Khanh?He seems to be ok.brbrI sat down near a wall and leaned my head back. I was thinking about taking his hood off but knowing he wouldn't want that I decided not to. I was wondering how we were going to get out of here. I heard Khanh wake up. He seemed really tired. He looked around. He knew that we were caught and locked up. He looked at me.brbrAre you okay? he asked.brbrYeah, what about you?A little headache.brbrI had to say something to him but I don't know if I should.brbrKhanh, please help me...brbrHe seemed confused. I wanted to ask him to help me on my journey to destroy the Heartless. I was afraid after this he would just leave me. I really needed someone nearby. I couldn't go on alone anymore. I was afraid of what was out there. He was the only one that made me happy. I couldn't face the outside world anymore without someone near me. Right now he was the only one that I could trust.brbrWhat are you talking about?Please don't leave me...brbrHe seemed to understand what I meant. He got up and walked over to me. He sat down near me and said.brbrI won't...The feeling of being alone... I don't want to be alone.brbrHe held me in his arms. I rested my head on his shoulder. I started to cry.brbrI'm afraid... of what's out there. You're the only one that makes me happy.Please don't leave me... I need you. Please help Tina and me. I can't handle being alone anymore.brbrHe kept silent. I know he had to think for a while. I didn't want to force him to come with me. I wanted to let him make his own decision. I decided to go to sleep for now.brbr-----------------------------------------------------------brbr[Khanh's Point of View]brbrI didn't know what to think or say. Was I falling in love? I didn't want to make up a decision now. I decided to stay by her side and help her though. It was so quiet all around. I didn't know what was going to happen to us. My chest started to hurt. I couldn't even keep my head up. I seemed to be losing all my energy. I fell asleep...
