Reno's foot tapped against the floor of the elevator. He was still slightly frightened about what just happened. It was like a demon took over October for a split second. Her eyes were such an un-natural shade of red. And when he caught her gaze…She looked so scared. He really didn't know whether to be okay with it or be afraid. What ever the case he decided to go and report to Rufus. If he didn't he would end up getting yelled at for not telling later.
"Ah dammit, wrong floor…" He said as he was about to push the 'close' button on the elevator. Just then a hand reached in and held the door open. It was Rude.
"So care to tell me why the boss is in a bad mood now Reno?"
The red head rolled his eyes as a small blonde female Turk waltzed in, squeezing between the two partners.
"All great. What the hell do you want Elena?"
She smirked. "Oh nothing. Just thought I would stop at the bosses office for a few minutes to catch up with him… and see hoe you found a way to screw up your simple assignment yet again."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Reno said lightly smacking her behind her blonde head. Rude gave a puzzled look at his partner as Elena whined.
"Hm, then why is he searching for you? He seemed to be really angry."
"I don't know…" Reno trailed off as the elevator came to a stop on their boss's floor. Rude and Elena stepped out first. Reno hesitated a bit then stepped out as well. They all continued walking towards Rufus's office silence.
Finally Rude opened the door and they all went in. Rufus already looked very un-happy. This might not end well.
"Elena, would you please step out? I didn't call you up here."
She slightly pouted. "But boss…"
He sighed. "Tseng is waiting for you to go on a mission I have assigned you both."
The blonde's eyes sparkled. "Alright then! Have fun you two~" Then she left and Rufus turned his attention to Rude and Reno. Mostly Reno of course.
"Well, care to explain?"
"Explain what boss man?"
"Explain what the hell happened with the girl!" Rufus said slamming his fist on his desk. "What did you do to her?"
Reno sighed. "I didn't do anything."
"She woke up screaming and had to be sedated."
"So, that doesn't mean that I did something to her yo. All that she did was wake up screaming, and I was forced out of the room before I could even help."
Rufus still didn't believe him. Even though Reno was one of his senior Turks, he usually messed up on a job. Some big, some little. But somehow Reno always managed to keep himself alive. He wanted to keep Reno and Rude appointed to this task though. He took a couple of breathes and cleared out his throat before speaking. Reno was thoroughly annoyed at this point.
"Look, if I'm going to keep getting blamed for everything that happens to that, October girl, then I font want to do this job anymore."
"Reno, are you sure?" Rude said. His partner nodded. Their boss looked defeated.
"Hmph…nonsense. You're not quitting. It's too late for that."
"It's only been a few hours yo."
"And those few hours have already sealed your fate. Now then…"
Reno cursed under his breath and looked away as Rude stood there and was the one to pay attention.
"Rude, you and Reno will go back to check on October. See if anything has changed while she was sedated." He made a waving motion towards his door. "Leave now. And you two better come back with better news than before."
"Yes boss…" Reno said before slumping away behind Rude. Once the door shut the red head went mad.
"God dammit! I don't know anything about this girl and she's already getting me in trouble!" He threw his arms up as they waited for the elevator. "So what am I going to get in trouble when she does something weird now?"
"Reno calm down. I highly doubt she would do that. I mean you said she just woke up screaming…maybe she didn't even know what was going on herself."
"I don't know man. But what ever the case she better be calm as hell or I'm going to sock her one."
"Yeah…Right."
Reno swiped the card once again at the door that held the care center. He got the same odd looks from the people who worked there and just ignored them. He was looking around for the doctor that lead him to October the first time, seeing as he already forgot where the room was. He leaned up against a wall and looked around a little bit more.
"I can't seem to find…HEY!" Reno called out to the doctor who just happened to be coming out of another patient's room. He already looked thoroughly annoyed that the loud mouthed Turk was there…AGAIN.
"May I help you?"
"Yes. Our boss, Rufus Shinra, told us to come and check up on October after her…incident." Rude said as Reno was looking away past the doctor to a nurse that caught his eyes.
"Ah, well…she's better now but I don't think we should let anyone go see her now…"
"You better. Or something might just happen to your little facility now yo." Reno said annoyed.
The doctor glared and finally led the Turks to October's room. "Don't do anything that will disturb her again please." And left.
"Why the Fu- ahh forget it." Reno said as he swiped the card key and entered the room. This time there was brighter lighting and he caught October sitting on her bed with a book in her hand. She hadn't heard them come in, so he put a hand up signaling Rude to stop where he was.
He took a much closer look at her. She still had a pale complexion, must be natural. Her hair was very long and seemed to shine against the light. All the doctors put on her was a fairly short white dress that already seemed to be stained with blood. After taking notice to the little things on her he walked closer to her and let Rude follow.
"Hey! How do you feel now October?"
She jumped and dropped the book she was looking at and turned on her bed to stare at who ever entered the room. She seemed startled, and her eyes Reno noticed, were still that shade of…Red.
"Who…who are you?" she said quietly. Her voice was on the shaky side but sounded very soft and delicate.
Reno smirked. "I'm Reno of the Turks. And this is my partner Rude. We were assigned to take care of you till you get better Miss. October." Reno took a cheesy bow. She stared at him not really knowing what to do or say, so he broke the silence.
"So, how do you feel after your little freak out? It was kind of scary. I thought something took over you and you were going to kill me!" He said with a laugh.
"Reno, that's not a very good topic starter."
"So you're the loud one…and he's the more stable one…" She said looking up at them. Reno stopped laughing. "The idiot and the collected one."
"What did you say?"
"I called you an idiot. I can already tell that you're the one who gets into the most trouble around here. And he was most likely assigned your partner because he can keep you in check." She smirked and Reno moved in on her.
"Oh so NOW you talk. Well then can you say something that won't tick me off princess?"
October stayed quiet and looked down. Rude was caught in an awkward situation. But held in the laughter that was bound to escape from his lips after Reno was just insulted. Everything she just said was true and they both knew it. That's why Reno was so angry.
"I'm sorry…" She said with a sad voice.
"Hey, I didn't mean to make you upset…"
"Can you pass me that book…? I'm reading it to know if I can figure out anything that's happened to me…I can't remember anything…"
They both looked at her as Rude handed her a small book. When she opened it, it was full of text about their city, Shinra, and even the attacks that had happened.
"Wait, you don't remember anything?"
She shook her head. "That's why I was startled. All I could remember is my name and I was wondering how you knew it because…I've never meet you before in my life."
They both looked puzzled. This is probably why Rufus wanted them to take care of her, so she wouldn't end up doing anything horrible to herself. Or anyone else.
"So you don't have any recollection of what happened to you before you ended up here?"
"I don't even know where I am. That's why when I woke up, I was…angry."
Reno looked at her. Her face looked so lost, and as he studied her more she started reminding him of someone but….he just couldn't remember who. He pushed that aside and looked over at Rude. He gave him a blank stare as he didn't know what to do or say at this point. She seemed to be very intelligent, just didn't know anything as of now if that made sense. They both sat down in some chairs that were near her bed and watching her study the book intently, as if she was trying to suck all the answers out and put them in her brain. She finally gave up and closed the book.
"Learn anything?" Reno asked. She shook her head.
"I'm blank." She bit her lip and looked up at the Turks who were staring at her. "Is there anyway you two could escort me out of here?"
"We would have to get clearance from our boss." Rude said sternly. "And we can't say how long it would take seeing the current condition you're in."
She looked around to all the machines she was hooked up to. "Your right…" She sighed and lay down. "I just want to know…what the hell is going on…" She whispered to her self quietly.
"Hey, don't get so emo on us. We'll go and talk to the boss tomorrow. He isn't so happy with us-"
"With you." Rude pointed out.
"Yeah, yeah. With me after your freak-out incident." He scratched his head and watched October stare up to the ceiling.
"Do you promise?" She finally said after a moment looking into Reno's blue eyes.
He gave her a thumb up and a smile. "I promise! Besides, we need to get you out of here so you can help us look through all your reports that we have to give to the boss."
"Reports?" She said as she started to get up, then a nurse came in.
"She needs to rest. You can visit her tomorrow." And wrote something on a chart.
"What ever you say cupcake. We'll be back tomorrow. I promise that we'll get the bosses o.k. and get you out of this dump."
She nodded slowly and watched them walk out the door. The nurse stayed in to check up on her stats and she began to think. Her first contact with people outside of the care center, from what she can remember. And they already seemed to know a lot about her. It confused her why they did and she, herself, didn't. She actually began to become agitated and her heart race started to go faster and faster. A huge rage built up and finally she threw one of the I.v. stands at the wall which startled the nurse. She called in for the doctor and prepared another needle.
She was being held down as the needle entered her arm. By that time she was out of her rage mode and back to her normal confused self.
"Stop it! Leave me…alone…" Her eyes closed and she was in for another deep slumber, the doctors hoped till the next day when the Turks had to deal with her. They really couldn't take this anymore.
As Reno and Rude walked to their office for a few more hours of reading through reports Rude turned to His partner.
"Are you sure you can keep that promise?
"Yeah, why do you ask like I'm not?" Reno said sitting down in his chair.
"Well because…you're Reno."
Reno let out a small laugh and stared out the window. Rude took a seat and immediately took out some reports to take notes on. "A promise is a promise. Besides, we need to jog her memory if we want to find anything else about her yo." He leaned back in his chair.
"Let's just hope the boss is in a better mood tomorrow."
