Chapter 15

Jay sat, twiddling her thumbs. Just how long would it be before she saw niebleheim again? She shook her head. Sare had gone out to gather newspapers for work. Zax, emria, And Lia were watching the news with growing interest. Apperently, in several cities, scattered throughout the world, Unusual monsters just came out of nowhere, and began destroying things. "This seems serious..." Zax muttered.

"wheres Sare? i havent seen him in awhile." Jay asked.

"he went out to get some work for us... though he IS a bit overdue..." Emmria said.

"You mean SARE'S MISSING!?" Jay almost yelled. It was just as she said that, that the door openned, and Sare walked in, carrying a bunch of newspapers. "Sorry im late. theres allot of newspapers." He said. Jay sighed with relief. Sare began shifting through the papers, until only the classified were on the table. "OK... looks like there are some casual jobs fit for Emria and Lia... And then there are some different jobs." Sare said.

"Like...?" Jay made a gesture with her hand, signaling to go on.

"More combat baced for you, me, and Zax. This one has the highest weekly pay." Sare read out the job description. "For a weekly pay of 150 GiL, any third party may take a weekly patroll into the wasteland, to aid in the clearing of the leftover Shin-Ra machines. Visit Cloud strife at the seventh heaven for more details." Sare finished.

"Oh great..." Sephiroth grumbled. Jay gulped slightly.

You arent going to make me kill him are you?

"No. but i wont like being near him. I think Zax should handle that meeting." Sephiroth replied.

No. i think cloud will want to see everyone whos doing the job. Jay argued. Sephiroth didnt reply. "well, we taking the job?" Zax asked.

"Sure. we proved we can handle the machines last time. we should be able to handle them again. What day can we sign up?" Jay asked.

"Friday." Sare replied. Zax and Jay gave nods of their head.

Emria Put a hand on jays shoulder. "I don't know how youve managed to become so strong as of late, but i know you can handle yourself... Just be careful. I dont want a repeat of your father..." Emria trailed off. And Jay didnt respond. She could feel sephiroth prodding aorund for more information.

"Strange... its as though your mind has locked off that part of your memories." Sephiroth said.

AND FOR GOOD REASON! Jay snapped at him. Sephiroth gave nothing but a slight grunt.

"you're father? you never talk About him, Jay. Nor have i ever seen him." Sare said. Jay looked at him.

"Please... dont bring that subject up. I doint want to remember it..." Jay sighed and lay down on the couch.

"you ok?" Zax asked. Jay gave a slight nod of her head.

"Just some salt on an old wound." Jay replied.
