Whispers of the Dead
Chapter 11
Zack sighed and fell back on the couch, an angry frown glued on his face. "Why is it that we could only learn so much?! Why hide it at all?"
Cloud shook his head at his friend. "Why don't you just ask them?" Zack shot straight up and looked horrified at the suggestion. Cloud thought that the reaction would have been much better suited if he asked Zack to sniff his feet and taste them. The blonde almost laughed at that image.
"Do you know what kind of chaos that would cause?"
"Do you also know what they will do to us if they find out we've been snooping through their profiles?" Angeal said, sitting down next to his pupil. "It's not very honorable."
"Everything is about honor with you, Angeal." Genesis piped up, sending a very quick glare in the direction of his childhood friend. The black-haired man only ignored him and took off his buster sword.
"So now we know a bit more, what are we going to do?" Reno asked, kicking his feet as he walked behind the couch.
"Nothing." Everyone turned to Sephiroth. "We can not let them know that we know as much as we do. It will only cause problems for all of us." He slid his eyes over to Cloud. "Cloud, Zach, I want you to keep an eye on Alex Madder. You all will get alone fine. Vincent, I suspect you will be keeping a close eye on all three of them, as will Reno. Genesis, look out for Kat, Angeal assist him in this endeavor." The silver-haired SOLDIER sighed.
"It's going to take everything we have to not let everything fall apart here."
"Yes sir!"
"So, we have to act like nothing happened."
Valdina shrugged and sipped her tea. "Sounds like a good idea to me."
"Great, now that we have that down, can we go home now? I really do not feel safe out in the open." No one disputed that argument with Kat. They were all feeling uneasy, especially after the day they all had.
Alex lowered her voice to a murmur and asked her two friends, "do you think this is happening again because we're back there?"
"It's possible, but we can't shoot down any other conclusions, either." Valdina muttered back, eyes glancing this way and that for her own apparition to come up and kill her any day now.
Which he possibly could. After all, that was the curse they were saddled with.
"Always the scientist, aren't you Valdina?" Alex frowned at Kat, but kept her comments to herself. "Well, let's just get some rest tonight. We have work tomorrow morning and we can't miss doing all of that paperwork."
Alex groaned. "You just had to bring that up, didn't you?"
Kat smirked. Valdina cut in before another fight could be started. "Guys, not now. I have enough of a headache as it is. Alright, here's how we're going to do this." She looked over at Alex. "You, go through all of your magic and myth books that you have stashed away. Gather as much information as you can about spirits." Next was Kat. "Then you, Kat, I need you to search up weapons of defense against supernatural creatures of the ghost variety."
"And what will you be doing?" Alex piped up.
Valdina sighed. "Hopefully, finding a sane way to explain all of this when it comes to the point we have to."
"Can't we just bullshit our way out of it like all of the other times?" Kat asked, flipping her blond hair over her shoulder a bit. "It's the one thing we're good at, after all." The blonde only glared at the ground after that, feeling self-hatred at the semi-true comment that was now out in the open.
Alex chose to ignore it. "Well, let's just do what we can. I would rather gather up intelligence and attack rather than head in straight on." Once she caught the unbelieving looks of her two friends, she replied with, "what?!"
"Nothing, Alex." Kat turned and smirked, feeling her spirits lift a bit. "Just that we don't believe you, is all."
"You are impossible, Kat." Alex hissed. Valdina sighed and rubbed a circle on her temple, trying to ease the oncoming headache.
'This is going to be a long day...' She thought.
