Chapter four
Double Negativing
Disclaimer: I own nada, it's depressing but it's the truth
Reno looked at the mission on his desk; Tseng must've dropped in earlier, wonder why he's avoiding me? Reno though as he opened the folder. A read-over couldn't hurt before discussion with his superior…right?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
An almost inhuman howl rang out through the Turk floor making Elena almost jump out of her skin and Rude to drop his coffee. Tseng was in his office, he was the calmest about the situation, he just fell off his chair in an undignified heap…yup calm.
"BOSSSSSS!" came Reno's voice, it was getting closer and closer until BAM! the door was kicked in. Tseng scrambled up and still managed to look as if he had some dignity left.
"Yes Reno, I take it you read the file?" Tseng said looking the pissed of red-head up and down, figuring that he'd sprinted the whole way from his office to there, "and would you please shut the door?"
"I am not going through with this mission Tseng, there is absolutely no way in hell I am cross-dressing, in a bar no less, why can't Elena do this?" Reno hissed quietly crushing the folder in his white-knuckled hand.
"One, Reno I decide who goes on what mission, second, right now I am ready to cut your pay cheque if you don't don this and third Elena is about o leave for another mission and I honestly wouldn't like to see Rude or myself in this mission and that just leaves you," Tseng said after slamming his hands down on the desk.
"But-," Reno started.
"No buts Reno," he cut in sitting down at his desk again.
"C'mo-," he tried again.
"The answer is no and you are getting closer to the paycheque reduction."
"Sir there is no way that I'm doing this mission, forced or otherwise."
Tseng smirked and drew a piece of paper out of his printer and wrote something on it.
It read: I Reno fully disagree with mission 107-R4E-57U and accept that I refuse to not complete this mission.
Tseng turned it and let Reno read it.
"Yup this seems about right…got a pen?" he asked and Tseng handed him a pen where he signed his signature which covered about half the page, (AN: What? He likes to be extravagant.) and smirked at his boss.
"Thanks dot-man you won't regret this," he said grinning his Cheshire cat grin.
"I know I won't…" he said as Reno left the room, "…but you might."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Reno came into the office the next morning feeling great, no not just great, brilliant, after speaking to Tseng everything had gone well for the rest of the day. He even nearly skipped into his office with glee if he hadn't caught himself on.
He leapt over the back of his chair and landed perfectly, today was going to be good he thought, oh how wrong he was.
Rude walked in slowly, looking at Reno, then doing a double take at him and the clock.
"You know Tseng's really glad you accepted the mission Reno, it's made things a lot easier," Rude said.
"What mission?" It was Reno's turn to do a double take.
"The one that Tseng left on your desk…" O.o (Reno's expression) "…the one you signed the contact for…" O.o (Reno's expression) "…this contract?" Rude asked nervously noting the expressions that Reno was using.
The red-head snatched the contract from Rude and read it over word for word, he cringed suddenly and slapped his head.
"THAT LYING CHEATING BASTARD TRICKED ME!" Reno yelled loudly.
