Reno hadn't moved from his place and just stared at the floor, thinking about everything that had just gone on. He was angry and confused. His boss was playing a dangerous game, and of what it was about exactly, he couldn't figure it out. He knew Rufus had always had a greedy nature to him, needing to have the best of the best surrounding him. All Reno could think is if he should just go ahead and kill the brothers while they didn't expect it. Except the possibility of losing his own life for doing so did not really seem too appealing. Getting demoted or fired he could live with, but not living at all, that was something he would never purposely search for.
Replaying the events in his mind, Reno started to take note of all that had taken place. First, he found that the brothers were a hell of a lot more dangerous than he had once thought, but not because of the fact they were of Sephiroth and Jenova's blood. It was because they were quarrelling with each other. Their relationship with each other was extremely rocky, and Reno couldn't help but think something bad was going to come of it. He wasn't too worried about Loz; he obviously was content to do what he is told, well, for the most part. The only problem was that even though the brother had shown he most likely favored Yazoo, he was still loyal to Kadaj. Or, at least would be more likely to listen to him since he was the most dominant of the group. Yazoo had it written all over his face, in more ways than one, of how he wanted to be as far from here as possible, but what trouble would he cause before leaving? Would he use Shinra against his brother, or kill them all to get them out of his way? Whose side would Loz be on? Whose side would Yazoo be on? Did Yazoo want Mother for himself to become Sephiroth, and destroy Kadaj, or destroy Mother so Kadaj couldn't have her?
Another problem for Reno is that he also wasn't sure which side his own team was on. Rufus was always for himself, whatever it took to get what he wanted. Was Rufus doing this for good, or for curiosity's sake? Possibly the power? None of those had a positive outlook. How far would Tseng go with Rufus? Even he had to be having doubts, but with his dutiful nature, who knew what he would do. Reno wanted to ask Tseng later, but wasn't sure if that would be wise since Tseng might see it as him questioning Rufus' decisions and Turks didn't do that. Where Rude was concerned, Reno wasn't worried. If it went too far and out of control he knew his partner would follow common sense and be on his side. Other than that though, Reno didn't like feeling so alone in the situation. He had no clue who the real enemies should be anymore. Well, Kadaj was a given, but who else? Besides Rude and Kadaj, he had no idea where everyone else was headed, and he felt very uncomfortable about it. In addition, Reno was still pissed about how Rufus let Kadaj all over the nurse like he did.
"Have anything you'd like to share with the rest of us?"
The sudden statement broke Reno from his thoughts. It was from Rufus, and obviously directed to him.
"No sir." Reno answered quickly, with a bit of a nervous edge to his tone.
"Hm. Well don't hold out on me if you do." Rufus replied, warnings laced through his words. He was not in the mood to deal with defiance.
"Yes sir." Reno said a bit quieter this time. He needed to keep some type of control over himself if he was to move around freely in Shinra's charge.
Rufus watched Reno for another moment, waiting to see if he was going to get any attitude, which he was pleased didn't come. He shifted in his chair and cleared his throat. "Ok, on to the next round. Rude, I want you to follow Loz. You are both about the same size, if something happens you will be the best match. Reno, you will follow Yazoo. If something happens with him, I think you'd be the least likely to get fought with since he seems content with annoying you." The corner of Rufus' mouth quirked up when he saw Reno clench his jaw, not liking the fact that his boss had noticed it.
"Well, I don't think he is amused by me any longer." Reno replied.
"Perhaps, but so far, though very slight, you are still the one he interacted with willingly. Besides, I know you don't like him very much, so I see this as well deserved."
Reno relaxed a little since he'd rather have this as punishment than what it could have been.
Rufus must have noticed this, so made sure to add in, "Oh, you will still have an appointment about manners with Tseng tomorrow. Since we all will be up late tonight, it wouldn't be as effective. I want you wide awake for it."
Reno cringed, then let out a defeated sigh. 'I should have known better than to think he'd forget…Fuck…hey, wait a sec…' "Hey, boss, who's going to be watching the brat?…ehr, I mean, Kadaj" he quickly corrected himself.
"No one." Rufus answered, not surprised by the stunned looks he was getting, so explained further. "It is from past and present experience that I have noticed he likes to let everyone know what he's doing. I already know what information is where, as well as I doubt he is a computer friendly person, seeing his short temper. I won't really need to worry about him messing with those. Most likely, he is going to rummage through things that he can put his hands on, but mostly just wander around and make his presence known. He already knows where my mind is at concerning Jenova. I expect him to go through Turk and SOLDIER files, try to get information about us personally, and the information he'll find won't be damaging to us when fighting. That's why I'm not too worried. He knows how much I want from him, and that I wouldn't risk pushing it too far, or else risk losing everything."
"Well, then, why have the other two followed?" Reno asked, not arguing, but sincerely wanting to know.
Rufus nodded, understanding the question. I'm having Rude follow Loz more for his own protection. Loz is not stupid, but it does seem he has problems deciding for himself, or perhaps making decisions on his own that might not be the most logical. If something happens, I would like someone there. The one I am most concerned with right now is Yazoo. He is obviously highly intelligent, and who knows what he might do. Since he and Kadaj aren't on the best of terms, and I really don't know if they ever have been, he seems the most likely to turn. Yazoo erased everything from all files in existance three years ago, who knows what he'll do this time. Also, of them all, he doesn't seem to want anyone know what goes on in his head, therefore we wouldn't know if he was planning something or not."
Reno nodded his head, the reasons making sense. 'Wow, the moron is actually saying something intelligent at the moment, remember this day…' Reno turned to face Rufus' desk, weary of having stood unmoving for so long. "So, can I go now?"
Rufus nodded. "I want both of you to check in with me once an hour to let me know how things are going. I will be located in security room 34, watching Kadaj from monitors of the section he's headed. At the very least want to know his location at all times." He then nodded, signaling that their meeting was now over and to get going.
Reno half saluted the president on his way to the door, happy to finally be leaving the presence of his employer.
xXx
'Damn him…' Was the constant thought going on in Yazoo's head as he stormed down the hallway. People were everywhere, or so it seemed. He preferred to be alone. No one to bother him, no one to distract him from his goals. Yazoo couldn't help but sneer at some of the people he passed. Some backed away, not from fear of the clone, but rather from the fear of the President should they lay a finger on his guests.
Yazoo stopped in the middle of the hallway, wondering what to do with himself. Searching nooks and crannies were not going to get him anything but wasted time, and right now Yazoo needed to do something productive, or at least semi-engaging. Well, he always needed to do something or he would go crazy. His brain followed logic. Why do something if he knew it wouldn't give him satisfactory results? Yazoo crossed his arms and thought, all the while growing more edgy from the eyes on his back. So much so that it made Yazoo feel like there was a thousand spiders crawling under his skin. He had to think of something quick because he wouldn't be able to stand this much longer. 'Hmm, I know where I can go. I doubt much has changed in that area in three years, after all, it never changed all the years before then…'
Yazoo smirked, took a quick look at his location, turned off to a side hallway and headed toward the stairs. He was headed for the lower levels, the ones below ground.
xXx
Reno had just made it into the hallway in time to see Yazoo with a smirk and stride off. Not wanting to lose the bastard, Reno didn't bother waiting for Rude to come out after him. Sure, they were going to separate locations anyway, but he did want to vent, just now wasn't going to work. Reno started to walk over to where the clone had disappeared. 'Just where in the hell is he going?' When Reno made it over to the door leading to the downstairs, the sight made his shoulders droop. 'He didn't…'
"Shit."
What had made Reno snap this out was that through the small window on the door, he had seen Yazoo swing his legs over the railing to where he was sitting on it and facing down. The man seemed to take only a moment's consideration of the action he was taking, and pushed himself off the railing, heading to an unknown floor level. The reason it pissed Reno off was that unlike the damn guy, he couldn't go jumping off high staircases.
'I don't even know where he's going. I can't see from here. Ooh I know!' Reno grabbed his cell phone and called up the security room that dealt with more systems than anything. After the first ring heard the man.
"Hello?"
"Hey Dan, can you tell me what door at the stairs is being, or has been, opened in the last minute? I'm on Shinra's floor and I want to know about the floors beneath me." Reno demanded. He knew the guy wouldn't take it personally, he knew how Reno could get.
"Sure, no problem. Let's see…hmm. Ok, we got it. It looks like 2B. Is there an intruder?" Dan asked.
'Ok, I'm on floor 8, we got 2B. Jesus…He just jumped down 10 goddamn levels.' Reno gave a frustrated sigh. "No. Just keeping watch on something." He didn't offer any more information, and Dan didn't push for more. He was used to Shinra and his secrets. Besides, sometimes it was better not to know.
"Well, good luck on what you're doing. Need anything else?" The security man asked.
"No Dan, it's fine now, and thanks. Also, before you say it, I'll try not to get killed." Reno smirked as he heard the man chuckle on the other end.
"We've done this way too much haven't we? I'll talk to you another time." -CLICK-
Reno shook his head and went to the elevator. He would take it until he got to the main floor level, that was as far down as it went anyway, and would have to use the stairs the rest of the way. It didn't surprise him there were a couple sub-levels since most buildings had them. It was ok though. By moving via stairs it would make it easier to sneak up on the remnant and hopefully catch him in the act of doing something, anything.
'God…why do I gotta do this? Oh yeah, because I'm one of the best. Times like this I wish I was a crappy employee. Then I wouldn't have to deal with this bullshit…this elevator music is shit too…' Reno winced as Pina Colada played.
xXx
Yazoo kept track of the levels he passed as his downward speed increased. Within a couple of seconds, he found what he wanted. He quickly reached out with his arm and grabbed a bar, using the momentum of the sudden stopping and slight rising of his body, he pulled up fast to flip himself over the railing to land soundlessly on the metal landing. Yazoo was becoming entertained, knowing that he was already pissing of the Turk that he knew was no doubt following him. From here, the games were to begin. He took his badge key and swiped it through the computerized lock. Yazoo reached out and opened the door.
xXx
Reno eagerly left the elevator, happy to get away from music only lame people would listen to. He turned to walk the few feet to the stairs and walk the last two floors that were below the main level. It didn't take him too long to get there. He didn't run. He wanted to catch Yazoo in the act of whatever he had planned on doing. If he did, he could have an excuse to beat his ass up. Reno slowly crept up to the door, peeking through the small window, making sure no one was there. 'Good. All clear. I'm coming to get you…freak.' Reno swiped his badge and went in, completely unaware of the glowing green eyes that watched from the level below, looking up through the grated metal. Everything else was shrouded by the darkness. Silently the figure turned around and leapt off the railing.
