A/N: Wow, this is shorter than I wanted it to be...oh well...This is basically what the Turks are doing during Shera and Lilith's conversation. The next chapter will be longer, and a bit violent...

If you've read Nobody's Listening, the next chapter is the one Reeve describes...

Please Read and Review.

Same disclamers as always...

How to Be Human

Lesson Three: How to Find What Is Lost

Even as Lilith told Shera that she was going to fine, and that her 'knights' were going to save them, the Turks were finding her location.

Well, trying to, anyway.

"Zel, stop pacing!" Vincent ordered. Zel, Vincent's adopted younger brother, looked up, flicked him off, and continued pacing. Vincent groaned and slammed his head against the table, causing the Turks in the room to jump.

"Noting yet, huh?" Verdot stated, coming in. A muffled "No." came from Vincent. "Some field leader you are."

"Ouch! Nice burn, Verdot!" River said, laughing from where she stood in the corner. About ten Turks total stood in the room, all in charge of finding Vice President Lilith. And, after three days of no leads, they were all very grouchy.

And a grouchy Vincent was not someone any of the other Turks wanted to work with.

"Where are we going to find her, anyway?" David, one of the research guys, asked from where he was perched in front of the computer. "I mean, unlike all the other times, the kidnappers actually did a good job covering their tracks..."

"We noticed, Dave..." Kyra, a gunner like Vincent, sighed. "We've looked everywhere."

"Not everywhere..." River said, quietly. Vincent looked up.

"Where exactly do you intent on looking, River?" he asked, watching her curiously.

"Somewhere you and Zel wouldn't dare enter..." she replied, grinning. She strode over to David and whispered into his ear. David grinned, peering back at Vincent and Zel and nodding to River. He then proceeded to type something into the computer.

"What do you mean? What are you guys doing?" Vincent asked, getting up. Zel followed him and soon nine Turks were all crowded around a computer, trying to figure out what River's idea was.

"Is this it?" David asked, looking at River. On the screen was some type of website for "pets."

"Pets? Okay, River, we all know you want a dog, but now is not the time!" Zel stated. Vincent squinted at the screen, trying to read it from where he stood in the back.

"You are so sheltered..." David said to Zel. "I can't believe you're a Turk, and I work with you!"

"What'cha mean? Aren't pets like cats, dogs, and lizards?" Zel asked. Vincent, who was reading next to him suddenly yelled.

"OKAY! DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT!" Everyone (except Zel) started laughing.

"Vincent just got it..." River said, pointing towards places on the screen for David to check.

"Oh, no. It's not that. I know what 'pets' are, and how the word is being used in this content. But what I didn't want to know is that they've got a nine year old there!"

"What?!" came the chorus of eight. (Not counting Vincent, who'd made the previous comment, and Zel, who still didn't get it.)

"That's just not right..." River said, looking pissed off.

"Wait, are you talking about humans?!" Zel asked, suddenly getting the whole conversation. He turned a sickening shade of green and bolted from the room. A minute later they heard him puking his guts out in the bathroom.

Normally, the Turks would find something like this funny. But this wasn't a normal situation.

"Hey, Turks..." Vincent said, glaring at the screen.

"Yes, oh Glorious Field Leader?" River asked, much to the amusement of everyone.

"Why don't we drop by this place?" he pointed at the screen as Zel walked in.

"With a lot of bombs?" Zel asked, looking deathly pale. Other Turks began to grab their weapons-knives, swords, guns, night sticks, bats. Basically anything that could be used as a weapon would be.

"Let's go, Turks. I think we've found our charge..." Vincent said, loading his gun and leading the way out of the building. Zel was close behind, grinning as he messed with a lighter.

This was going to be fun...

A/N: Yeah for Zel! I promise the next one will be longer! Thank you for reading!
