Chapter 5

AN: OMFG I LIVE!!! And I detest writers block with a passionate vengeance! Well anyway I think I left you people with the board meeting, I'm sooo sorry about that crappy chapter, this will hopefully be a bit better, key word hopefully. I'm a bit rusty on this so bear with me 'kay? And if you lot are feeling particularly nice…would a widdle review hurt? Oh and this is set about 2 weeks later.

Tseng lifted his coffee and let its smell waft in his general direction, it was quiet in his office, no Reno in the vicinity. He sighed calmly and went for his secret stash of pocky in his desk, finally some peace. You know the saying all things must come to an end? Sod's law has a lot to do with this too. If it wasn't Reno it was something else. So when Tseng was about to take a drink of said caffeine elixir, his phone rang, effectively shattering the calm that he hadn't got in two weeks. He suddenly hated his job.

"What?!" Tseng hissed down the line, now thoroughly pissed that the… the perfectness had been smashed into itty bitty pieces. He fully expected the person on the other end to put the phone down in fear due to the murderous intent pouring down the line and curl up under their desks in the foetal position and suck their thumb, yes Tseng can do that with one word. Well he was sorely mistaken.

"Hiya Tseng, well the boss wants you up in his office ASAP and by the sounds of things you need to calm down a little, whatever you just did it kinda melted the phone a bit," answered a perky female voice that only could belong to Rufus's bodyguard Phoenix. His evil intent hadn't even phased her, he must be losing his touch, unless she was related to Reno in some strange way. He stored that thought in the back of his head for later, he might need it in case of the possibility of intense boredom.

"Okay," he sighed resignedly, "I'll be right up." He had a weird feeling as he entered the lift, what the hell was annoying him so much, he shrugged and sighed, another thought for later.

He went into Rufus's office a few moments later, his mind still on his coffee a few floors down. You wanted to see me sir?" Tseng asked in his usual tart tone that only came out whenever either he was annoyed or Reno was in the vague general direction.

"I was just curious as to what was wrong with my only sane Turk that he didn't notice that his stalker is absent today," Rufus asked in a concerned tone. Tseng raised a slim eyebrow at the sudden question.

"Sir I'm just stressed is all, too many strange things have been going on and I don't like it, I just have the feeling that someone could be undermining our security, I don't know…I mean how is it that everyone in the company is spilling a load of secrets all of a sudden…it all started when…would your new bodyguard have anything to do with it?" Tseng asked suddenly.

"Tseng," Rufus said, "She's my second cousin's half-sister, all my family are kept under tight security, hell I think we were all trailed by Turks or Soldier until we were old enough to have sense to be able to hide and confuse the hell out of them," Rufus lied quickly and quite well if he did say so himself. He was even confusing the hell out of Tseng right now, the current head of the Turks.

"Oh," he said, Rufus inwardly nodded and smirked, definatly confused, "well then, if that's all…" he trailed off.

"You can go and if you want to use up those weeks of vacation time you've built up, feel free," Rufus added.

Tseng left the office in a daze, yes in a daze. He got the lift and went back into office and looked sadly at his desk.

"I didn't even get to drink my coffee…" he sighed and flumped down on his seat, he was now really depressed.
