Turks office 10am
Reno walked into Tseng's office to see Tseng sitting at his desk. Tseng's office was naturally immaculate.
"Couldn't this have waited until a more sociable hour?"Complained Reno
Tseng was not amused by this"Reno you are a member of the Turks and most of us have been here since 8am. where is your sense of work ethic?"
Reno shrugged "probably in the same place as your sense of humour"
"Shut up Reno." Reno smirked Tseng cleared his throat. "As you are no doubt aware, yesterday the president acquired data from the database of a small scale terrorist organisation known as SPIRA who intended to assassinate him" Reno nodded.
"From what we discovered it already appears they were working for a much larger unknown organisation"
Reno gave a quizzical look. "What makes you think that?"
"While we are still trying to decode most of the data. What we have discovered so far points to an unknown leadership .Also our Intel is that none of those that were at the SPIRA base were likely to be intelligent enough to run such an organisation nor have the funds to do so."
Reno nodded taking this all in hen asked "So what exactly does that have to do with me?"
"Do you remember the three suspicious individuals we encountered?"
"The fat guy, the gay guy and a hot girl?"
"Well we don't know if those three are connected but I need you to find out who they are if they are connected to the plots of SPIRA and their masters. Check the terrorist database that the WRO have"
"You want me to break in?"Reno smirked he loved a good covert op.
"No Reno it make take a while. Go ask Reeve I doubt he will decline just try not to give too much away. Oh and Elena will be coming with you"
"Fair enough wait ...why?"
"To keep you out of trouble while me, rude and the president continue to decode the data" Tseng replied trying to emotionless.
Reno got the feeling that this mission was simply a way to keep him out of the office.
"Whatever man. Ok where is your girlfriend?"
Reno was starting to get Tseng annoyed, though after years in the Turks he was able to most of it "I do not have a girlfriend Reno. However your partner for this mission will meet you outside WRO headquarters. Now go"
"As you wish sir" Reno smirked and left Tseng's office.
Reno and Elena were sat in a waiting room outside of the office of the commissioner of the WRO Reeve Tutsi
"Why exactly did you have to come with me? " questioned a slightly irritated Elena
"Because I'm Second in command of the Turks, and the boss man was busy looking through that data with the president" Reno retorted smugly
Elena responded "Surely I could do this by myself. We're only trying to use the WRO database"
Elena was often annoyed that despite now being and experienced Turk, she was often given the slightly boring assignments. This assignment was a simple one, just using the WRO database to see if Leo and the gang were affiliated with any terrorist organisation. Back in the day Shinra had a far more complete database than anyone but with the confusion caused by the incidents of meteor, the advent and deep ground the WRO had managed to gain access to all of Shinra's databases and a few from other sources which had led to them having a far more complete database
"Look when are you going to admit to yourself that you are really loving the chance to spend more time with me?" cheekily asked Reno
"There is a better chance of Rude growing an afro by tomorrow night" Elena sarcastically responded
"Oh that's cold, maybe you and Tseng are meant for each other."Reno answered actually quite enjoying the chance to verbally joust with someone other that Rude.
"Whatever Reno" Elena realised that any other answer would give Reno the office gossip he was seeking.
A secretary interrupted their conversation "The commissioner will see you now"
The commissioner of the WRO was sat at his desk.
"Yo Reeve, finally found some time away from your toys" greeted Reno
Reeve simply rolled his eyes at Reno's comment
Elena attempted to distance herself from her impolite companion "Sorry Reeve I tried to come alone"
"So what can the WRO do for you?"Reeve responded with a sigh. Dealing with Reno was often a hassle
"We need to use your database of terrorists" Elena stated directly.
"Why?"Reeve asked curiously. It was rare that the Turks asked for anything a Reeve wanted to know why they were actually bothering to ask rather than just hack in like they normally would
"Yo that's confidential. All we can tell you is that they may or may not be on your database" Reno refused to give anything away. The reason that they were asking permission was simple they weren't sure what to look for and given that they probably might need to search from the WRO database for several hours asking was a logical idea.
"Well you'll need to talk to our intelligence department for that" Reeve coolly responded
"Ah yes, good chance to see Legs" Reno stated with a wry smile
"I assume you mean Yuffie well unfortunately for you it's her day off. You'll have to cope with who she left in charge" Reeve refused to rise to Reno's taunt
"Who's that?"Elena once again trying to not to be drawn in.
"The newly promoted Lieutenant Sarah Biggs" Reeve Answered
Elena was surprised by this as she had never heard the name before "How'd she get the job?"
"Yuffie picks her own staff I don't question it."Reeve refused to give anything away. Reeve knew exactly why she had got the job as it was discussed at length with Yuffie beforehand but Reno didn't need to know that.
Elena realised that they would get nothing useful from Reeve decided to try and complete her mission objective "Ok so do we have your permission to use your database?"
"Sure you have my official permission" Reeve relented. He knew that the Turks would somehow gain access anyway. "I assume you remember the way to Yuffie's office."
The two Turks left reeves office and walked towards Yuffie's office.
Through the glass in the door the two Turks could get a clear look at Sarah was a brunnette with shoulder length hairaverage hight relativlyys lim
"Ok here it goes I'll knock."Elena announced to Reno
"Sure but let me do the talking I have a way with women like this" Reno said with his usual confidence. Elena gave a passive look but realised the more time Reno spent talking to the LT the more time she would get to work.
Elena knocked on the door twice,
"Come in"
Reno wasted no time
"Hi I'm Reno of the Turks; this is my apprentice Elena .We need to look at some of your databases for something minor. However once we've got what we need from your computers perhaps you and I could get to know each other. We could go for drinks, When are you off duty?"
"Reno of the Turks. I've been wanting to meet you for a few years to do one thing to you"an she smiled
"Oh baby I'm ready for about right now" Reno wispered in her ear.
"ok" then she punched him in the face
"Is that a no?" Reno groaned
Elena wanted to laugh at Reno's misfortune but she realised that that wouldn't be very professional."I'm sure that Reno deserves that for many reasons. Which one was the most appropriate for you?"
"He killed my brother" Sarah answered ager clear on her face.
"Can you be more specific?"Reno asked while trying to regain his balance
"Sector 7 Ring any bells?"Sarah responded with annoyance
"Was he one of the weirdoes in AVALANCHE?"Reno asked clearly still a bit dazed from the punch
She kicked him in the shin.
"Yes he was in AVALANCHE" Sarah cracked one of he knuckles
Elena decided that she would try to get back to some form of professionalism "So do you mind me using your database"
"No that's fine do you know the name of the person you're looking for?"
Elena realised that this was an attempt to get information out of them so she decided to be vague"No but we know their physical characteristics. It may be nothing but we have to explore all avenues"
Sarah went on to the pc that was there and quickly typed she then turned the screen towards Elena"well this is the database if you have any problems Captain Kisaragi's secretary should be able to help you out. I've got other business to sort out. Excuse me"
3 hours later
"This is like looking for a needle in haystack we've found nothing" Elena was bored.
"I still can't believe that stuck up cow. So I killed her brother. I've killed thousands of people what make him so special?"Reno was clearly still annoyed.
"He was her brother; he's bound to be important to her."Elena continued to type search through the terrorist database.
Reno shrgged" Well, let's get a look at the guy then. After all we're getting nowhere with this search."
Elena sighed "Ok why not. Perhaps you might develop a sense of remorse" Reno scoffed. Elena looked at the page that came up. Under the search 'Biggs' "oh my god it can't be"
"What? You found the guy? Let's get a look" Reno was genuinely curious.
"Yes But I don't believe it."Elena stated suprise easily visable on her face.
Reno walked over to the computer and then was stunned when he saw what Elena had seen.
"Yo that guy supposed to be dead isn't he?"Reno asked
"I guess not, one of the people we were looking for, looks like or is Mike Biggs." Elena still couln;t belive it.
Reno ordered "Look up known associates." He then explained further "I have a feeling that the fat one and the hot girl might be pulling similar tricks"
"Ok known associates, Barret Wallace, Tifa Lock heart, Wesley Wedge (deceased) Jessica Stuart (deceased) Cloud Strife." Listed Elena
"Look up Jessica and Wesley. is it them?"
"Looks like your hunch was right. All three are dead yet clearly somehow they survived" Elena was still slightly mystified
"That is probably not good" Reno was understating the point
"Wait a sec what's that note at the bottom? Body was recovered in sector 7 rescue. Identity confirmed by genetic testing."Elena read out then continued "That means not only did they find a body but they did genetic testing and verified his identity" Elena
"How the hell does that work?"hoping Elena could make a clear explanation for it.
"My guess is that the guy we saw was a fake with excessive plastic surgery"
"Or perhaps a Hojo wanabee mastered human cloning" Reno countered
"Regardless why these three, they were nobodies" Elena poundered.
Reno gave it some thought rubbing his chin then tried to resond "well maybe uh"Reno paused "they did know cloud and Tifa. Perhaps this has to do with them or their wedding?"
"Seems logical, we'd best report to Tseng" Elena was trying to act as professional in what were unusual circumstances
"Yeah you make the call I'll download a copy of these 3's files and delete our search history just so they don't know what we found" Reno said with some authority
"Good idea. We don't want the WRO sticking their noses in."Elena agreed and began ringing her Boss
"By the way we might have to go old school Turk on these three. Are you willing to do that?"Reno was deadly serious about this.
"I will do whatever is necessary. After all we are still the Turks" Elena affirmed
"Damn straight" Reno responed
"hello sir? We now know who they are but it's just got more complicated" Elena
Over the phone the voice of Tseng "ok return to base"
"I see that the Turks have gone" Reeve walked into the office sarah was already there.
"Yeah thank the planet they have."Sarah responded
"Any idea what they found" Reeve asked?
"Someone deleted any trace of what was observed" Replied an annoyed Sarah
"I imagine that was Reno. So no record of what they were looking into then."Reeve looked slightly disappointed.
Sarah smirked "On the pc no but this is Yuffie's office and she has a few tricks"
"Such as?"Reeve questioned genuinely surprised
Sarah explained "In this room is a hidden microphone recording all conversations that take place in her.I switched it on before I left. So hopefully that might give us some idea what they were looking for."
"Ok play the tape and see what you find. If that fails I've sent an operative to spy on Reno and the gang"
"I suppose that operative is confidential" it wasn't a question she knew how Reeve worked.
"Of course" Now it was reeve who smirked
