2 - Child of Chaos

Nursery rhymes are said, verses in
my head
Into my childhood they're spoon-fed
Hidden violence revealed, darkness
that seems real
Look at the pages that cause all
this evil
-- Shoots and Ladders by Korn

Though late, children were still
playing in front of buildings. Their laughter, screams, cries and chatter
blended together with the sounds of the road traffic, music and voices on
radios and TVs from open windows, and the sounds of people yelling, arguing or
shouting to each other from open windows and fire escapes. It was a blending of
sounds one only heard in the larger cities.

Reno swaggered down the sidewalk,
his EMR bouncing jauntily against his side as his long red ponytail switched
back and forth like a living creature with its own mind. He was still whistling
that off key, happy melody as he moved. His aquamarine eyes almost fever bright
as he spotted the kids playing. There was something special he liked about
children. It was their naivety and innocent purity. They only knew him as the
funny red head that would stop and play with them on his way to where ever it
was he was going at the time. They didn't know of his history or of his current
occupation, therefore they didn't judge him by his past actions.

The first group of children he came
across were playing hopscotch. He spent a few minutes hopping along the
squares, triangles and circles that had been chalked colorfully along the
sidewalk. The second group were slightly older though much more active in their
play. Double Jump was the current game. His glittering eyes followed the
pattern of the ropes as his mako enhanced abilities made it easy for him to
jump right into the center of the twirling ropes.

The girls on either side of him
turned then let out startled squeals of surprise. "Re!" the girls
(twins) cried out at the same time then started laughing as the ropes tangled
around them.

"Hey Cindy," Reno said
draping one arm over the shoulder of girl to his left.

"I'm Mindy," the girl
said with a fake pout.

He then turned and draped his right
arm over the shoulders of the girl on that side. "Hey Mindy."

The girl huffed crossing her arms
over her chest. "I'm Cindy," she informed him.

Reno just grinned again, turning
his head from one side to the other as he gave both a quick, light peck on
their cheeks as he hugged them close before letting go. He laughed at their
squeals and the bright hue of their faces as they blushed. He did at least help
the girls untangle the ropes before he started to walk away. He paused though
and looked up to the top of the steps. "Where's Ari?"

One of the girls that had been
twirling the ropes answered him this time. "Ari had to go to the doctor's.
Some type of specialist," she said, turning to her friends a moment.
"Junon right? Or was it Icicle inn?" getting a shrug in reply only
she turned back to Reno, "They left a couple of days ago. Don't know how
long they will be gone."

Reno blinked, sticking one hand
into his pants pocket, the other scratching the back of his neck. "Eh? Ah.
Gotcha. Well gotta go, catch you girls later!" he waved cheerfully and
continued on his merry way.

The third group he came across were
the older boys. Their ages ranged from pre-teens up though the teenage years.
He made his presence know when he snagged the basketball from one of the older
teens who were playing a game of hoops.

"What? Hey!" came the surprised exclamations
from the teens.

"Yo," Reno said as he
dribbled the ball back and forth. He grinned then tossed it into the basket
almost perfectly. For the next little bit, Reno played street hoops with the
teens. Even with 4 to 1 odds, he still beat them by almost triple. About this time is when all the parents started
calling in the children for dinner and family time. The sidewalks became ghost
towns as only those that had need to be out, were.

Looking at his watch, he blew a few
strands of his fiery hair out of his face. He was going to be late no matter
what so he shrugged, stuffing his hands into his pants pockets once more and
continued on the way to work. The distance wasn't so far that he needed
transportation other then his own two feet, yet far enough that when weather
turned foul it made it feel like his destination was half way around the world.

He ignored the chill wind that
somehow found its way down the back of his navy blazer to caress his skin like
a cold lover. Pulling his hands from his pockets he pulled the blazer tighter
around his thin frame, flipping the collar up as he did. He knew better then to
voice his question about things getting worse. The powers that be had a
tendency to use him as their entertainment.

"You're late."

Reno looked up, scowling at the
person. "Love you to Elena," he grumbled as he ran his hands though
his wet and drooping red locks before taking a sip from the Styrofoam cup. At
least she had waited till they were behind closed doors before she started in
on him.

"Rude went home almost an hour
ago. You could have at least called me to let me know you would be late.
Again," Elena said as she crossed her arms over her chest and watched Reno
continue to scowl, this time looking down into his cup at the black liquid it contained.

He blew out a sigh then looked
away. "I forgot it," he said.

She might have missed his words if
she hadn't been waiting on them. "You forgot it? How.. never mind Reno, I
don't want to know." She closed her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose
as she did. She let out her own sigh, though of disappointment rather then
annoyance, and opened her eyes once more. "Just get in there then. We can
talk about it later," she looked at him and caught the look on his face.
It was one she had been seeing more and more often of late. In fact ever since
the Lifestream's eruption that prevented the Meteor from striking the planet.
"IF you want to that is," she hastily added.

Reno scowled at her one more time
before turning around sharply and entering the President's private hospital
room. He had wanted to throw the coffee at her, to scream at her for
interfering with his life, he'd even wanted to hit her with his rod set on full
power. But he didn't do any of those things, instead his anger at her inferring
there was something wrong with him had just dissipated like smoke in the wind.
All that he'd been left with was a numbing emptiness. Taking a look at the
president as he lay there covered in bandages, wires and tubes, he shuddered
and turned away from the view to look out the window instead. He thought to
himself on how easy it would be if he could open the window and just step out.

Outside the room, Elena took a deep
breath then let it out slowly as she brought her hand up to her face and
rubbed. She knew something was wrong with Reno and it was becoming quite
obvious that he had better get some help soon or it would be too late. There
was no way in hell anyone could miss how thin he was starting to get. It wasn't
like he had a lot of fat or muscle on him in the first place, but still. Even
some of the doctors and nurses had spoke with her privately about it. Each and
every one had advised strongly on getting him some type of help. But Summons
help her if she tried to voice that concern to him. The one and only time she'd
said anything he'd become quite violent about it. There was no two ways about
it, she would have to bring it up to Tseng tomorrow. She could no longer turn a
blind eye to what was going on the way Rude was doing.
