Whispers of the Dead

Chapter Four

Angeal's POV

We had to show the women around today. I sighed, hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. With our last few run ins, it only proved that they were insane. My dark-colored eyes slid over to Genesis's form, but wasn't surprised to see that he was reading his LOVELESS book... again. To the other side of me was Sephiroth, leaning against the wall, glaring at nothing in particular. I wasn't in any better a position.

I was, once again, polishing my rarely-used family inherited buster sword. Hey, I like my weapons to be in a good condition, thank you!

I looked up at the doors again, seeing Vincent Valentine walk through. He was one of the top Turks, but he wasn't boasting about it; actually, he was quiet, well-mannered, and had a strange sense of humor. But he was a good friend all the way around, except that he used to be in love with a woman that Hojo, the scientist, married. I waved a greeting to him, and his usual nod was returned.

He leaned against the wall left of the entrance, just standing there, surveying the area. I didn't ask, but I couldn't say that my curiosity wasn't peaked. I set my buster sword next to me, leaning against the left arm of my chair.

When I set it down, I heard the doors open again. I looked up to see that Zack and Cloud walked in, talking about battle strategies and how to use materia. They stopped and saluted as soon as they spotted us. I nodded, sending them at ease. Zack smiled while they both sat next to me.

"What brings you here, Zack, Cloud?" I asked, my curiosity at all of these people coming out of nowhere. I mean, who wouldn't be curious when three Turks (Reno and Rude were there before Vincent arrived) and two cadets arrive and stay for seemingly no reason at all.

Zack grinned. I instantly regretted asking the question in the first place. "Well, we wanted to see your new secretaries, and I heard that they had past bearings with Shinra, so I wanted to know who they were." He shrugged, acting nonchalant about the information he just spilled to us all. Thankfully, both Genesis and Sephiroth caught on to what was happening, and it looked like the Turks were putting an ear in.

I leaned forward, giving Zack a pointed look as I said, "Can you tell us what you heard?" Zack instantly brightened up, more than likely proud to spread some more rumors around. 'What did I just do?'

Vincent's POV

In all honesty, I was also curious about the three new women that had caused such an uproar in the Turk headquarters. Also, I came over just to shut the annoying red-head up.

But this new information... I'll need to look into it more closely.

"So that's why she hit me." I heard Reno grumble to himself. I raised an eyebrow at that one, but decided not to say anything. Another event to look into.

"Interesting," Sephiroth replied. "And where did you hear these rumors, Zack?"

Zack paused, thinking a bit, before replying, "Well, this file was actually on my desk under all of the paperwork that I had to do from my last mission, and also, the other secretaries were gossiping." He paused. "Is it not strange that they knew and we didn't?"

"Careful, Zack," Angeal broke in. "Remember, these are rumors, and rumors don't have much honor or truth at all." Zack groaned. Another eyebrow raise; was this normal between the pair?

My communicator blinked, indicating that the women were soon to be here. I looked up at Reno, and he nodded in response, indicating that he also got the memo of their arrival. I heard some faint voices, and quickly opened the door for the three women.

The first to walk through was a tall, pale red-head with sky-blue eyes. She seemed to be the leader, with the way she walked and the aura of attitude she seemed to emit. Unlike most secretaries would, she wore black slacks and a black tux with a white button-up shirt and blue tie. She glanced over at me, smiled, and said, "Thank you." Well, at least she was polite.

The second was another tall pale woman, only she had long white-ish hair and one blue eye and one green eye. She also wore slacks, but she had on a jacket that was zipped up and form-fitting to her stature. A little gold bell tinkled from her black silk ribbon choker on her neck. She nodded at me before quickly following the red-head.

The last to come through was what I would describe as a 'dark' kind of woman. She was also tall, but paler than the other two combined, making her long black hair and bright electric green eyes stand out. Like the other two, she was wearing slacks, but she wore a black button up shirt with a black leather trench-coat to cover it all up. We locked eyes for a few seconds before she moved on behind the other two. I closed the door, a little curious of my mission about these three women.

Reno, Rude, and I took up positions behind the three girls. The black-haired woman glanced back at me for a split second, but she quickly turned away. I was curious, but didn't push it any further than I needed it to.

Sephiroth began to speak. "The three Turks behind you would be your guardians from the... earlier events that have occurred the two times that you have been in this vicinity. Now, would you like to have a tour of your new home?" The red-head, the leader apparently, looked to either side of her before nodding in confirmation to the General, adding a polite, "Yes sir." to it.

Then they were off in a tour of some sort. I do wonder, though, if things would really be the same now that they are here.
