I was at the curb in seconds, waiting for Reno to fling open the door, no doubt to allow me to jump in on the run. I didn't have long to wait, but had to dart back as Reno pulled some sort of sports car onto the sidewalk, the door opening as he leaned out.
"Hurry up and get in!" He shouted, already beginning to rev the engine. I dove inside, glancing to the back seat as I slammed the door shut. Cari was unconscious, but didn't seem to bad. Her purple tinted hair was bobbed over one eye, cut oddly, but that was her style. She wore the same thing I did-a sailor tie, a red blouse, and that stupid brown mini skirt that made the idea that Don Corneo might have gotten her all the worse. Then I remembered what the other Turk had said....
"AVALANCHE had her?" I whispered, buckling in as Reno sped off towards the hospital. He exhaled and nodded.
"Yeah. Pretty sure Fuhito planned to experiment on her. Not sure if he did or if I got there in time. For her sake, I hope I did. The doctors should be able to tell." Reno explained slowly as I glanced back at Cari.
"Experiment?"I whispered, my voice faint to not wake her.
"He's the only Hojo fanatic I know of. Making it clear he is unethical and will do anything to reach his goal, including manipulate genetics."
I shuddered slightly at the name. My sister had come home sometimes, muttering about Hojo's insanity quietly enough our parents could not hear.
"But won't you get in trouble for bad mouthing Hojo?"
"Nope." Reno smirked. "I'm a Turk. He's head of the Science Department. No relation. I work for Verdot. He's currently the head Turk..." Reno trailed off. I recalled my sister mentioned Verdot was losing control and calm. Something about the head of AVALANCHE...
My cell began to vibrate and I plucked it from my bag. My sister's picture was showing as the caller. So she finally replies, huh? I decided to ignore it, as I no longer needed her help, and plugged it back in my bag. Reno rose an eyebrow.
"Boyfriend?"
"Sister." I muttered in response as he stopped the car, pulling into the ER driveway. Reno sighed. "Right...." He muttered, picking up Cari and pulling her over his shoulders. I stood up slowly, following a bit behind as he handed her off to an EMT. It was a minute before Reno returned.
"Hey kid, while the doctors check on your friend, you up for hospital cafeteria food? It's horrid, but makes what ever comes next that much better." I looked up at him slowly and nodded. Something about him just made it easier to breath.
"To crappy hospital food we go."
