Chapter 2: Mission Start
When Rude found his newest partners' profile, he had to look away. I can't believe this, he thought, this is… this is just sickening. When Rufus finds out about this... He sighed.
The tall, slender, red-headed teenager walked through the office, ready to start his first day on the job. His co-workers followed suit. First, there came a lean, black-haired man, followed by a slender blond woman and Rude. "Well," said Rufus, "The new kid's got it all set out doesn't he… his first day on the job and the kid comes in early." Elena scowled hmph… bosses' pet. "Well, while we're all here," the blonde male began, "first, allow me to introduce everyone to the newest member of the turks. Tseng, Elena, Rude, this is Reno McLedger... he's going to be your ..." he paused to clear his throat " 'Method of Transportation'... Reno, here, is a helicopter piolot and has been assigned to your section. Reno," he turned to look at his new employee "this is Tseng, your supervisor... Elena, still a turk in training... and Rude...." he paused as if he didn't know what to say " ummm... he's a fine turk.... even if you can't really describe him." Again, he paused to clear his throat. " Well, now that that's over with, on to buisiness."
"It's come to my attention someone in a small town just outside of Niebelheim has been torturing and murdering some of the lower members of S.R.E.P. I've decided to go out on a limb here by resolving to send out Reno and Rude to assassinate him. Reno, this is your first mission, so I want you to follow Rudes' orders, alright?" The young mans' head lifted. "Yes, sir!" "Okay, then… Dismissed."
The "Turks" walked out of the office. The mission didn't start until tomorrow, so, they had some time to kill. "Hey, I gotta go call my mom and tell her what's goin' on," squeaked Reno happily, "I'll be right back, 'kay?" Then, without getting anyone's consent, he dashed out of the room to the nearest payphone. "Gah," Elena complained, "I can't believe this guy! I mean come on; he's a complete Kissass!" "Well," Tseng stated, "You know what they say, 'Your first impression has to be your very best.'...I suppose." Rude stepped in for his partners' defense as well. "Try to take it easy on him, okay. I mean the kid's had a lot of past issues that took their toll on him." "Oh, really," the blonde woman sneered, "like what?" Rude shook his head as a sigh escaped his lips. "It's not exactally a discussion that I'm willing to talk about."
On that note, Reno came rushing back in almost as quickly as he had left and just about ran over Rude. "Hey, yo..." he paused, catching his breath " We ready to go?" Tseng looked at Rude and nodded in approval. "Cool.... mom says 'Hi', yo... whew....what a run. Let's go, yo!" My god... thought Tseng, watching him run off, anyone who can be that enthusiastic about killing someone has got to have issues...
In the helicopter on the way to the mission, Reno looked at the mission objective sheet. " Tsuki Masumana, huh?" Rude nodded as he silently wondered to himself what else that psycho did to his partner. Reno looked at his new coworker. "Not exactally the 'talkative type', huh, yo?" He waited for a reply, but it didn't come. Now the red- head was starting to get a little peeved. He turned back around and simply consentrated on getting them to Niebelheim. " You're right..." Rude finally stated " I'm not... but... it's not so much as I don't want to talk to you... I'm just... thinking." " Oh, really..." Reno said, happy that he was finally having a two- sided conversation " whatcha thinkin about, yo?" Rude stayed silent as he shook his head. " When Rude didn't reply, Reno started getting slightly worried. " I'm getting a bad vibe, yo." He said as Rude glanced up at him " Not, like, off the mission... but uh... you, yo. Somethin' wrong?" " It's umm... It's nothing..." Reno simply shrugged his shoulders as they flew towards their destnation. Sure, Rude said everything was fine but, Reno had other ideas.
