Chapter 3 - Discovery Part.1

Discovery ; Part 1

 

 “Reno! RENO! RENO, GET UP!!!

- YEAH, yeah!!! ALRIGHT!!!! I’m getting up! What’s the time?” he asked his partner as he sat up on his bed.

-“Late! Get up!” Rude said opening the curtains.

-“What happened to my alarm?” Reno asked quizzically and stepped out of his bed. 

-“It rang half an hour ago!

-Wha?! shoot I didn’t hear it!

-I know that!!!

-How late am I?

-VERY!!! We won’t have time to have any breakfast!

-Don’t tell me you’ve been sitting waiting for me to get up!” Rude glared over to him. “Idiot!” Reno said brushing his long red hair.

-“Well if I hadn’t have done, you wouldn’t have got up! You’ve been over sleeping a lot these days!

- That’s because I can’t sleep at night!

-Yeah, I know….I’ll meet you down stairs! Hurry up!

-YESSSS!” The Redhead hissed. Rude left the room giggling to him self. Reno finished doing his hair up and hurried to get dressed. He left the bedroom, locked it up and went down the stairs. He arrived at the front door, where they were supposed to meet.

“Finally!” Rude said!

-“Shut up!!” Reno looked around and realised that Tseng wasn’t there. He decided to have a cigarette and a coffee while they were waiting. He went back in the building and got a coffee from the drink dispenser.

-“What are you going to do about food?” Rude said as his partner came back.

-“I’ll have to get something in town. But what about you?

-Whatever.

-Go hungry then!” Rude raised an eyebrow at him. “It better stay sunny today!!” Reno said raising his fist at the sky.

-“I doubt it!” Rude added. Reno looked up to the sky and closed his eyes. Not longer after, Tseng came round the corner followed by a ShinRa transport van.

-“Looks like it’s time to rock an’ roll!” Reno said seeing his boss coming. 

 

The four Turks were dropped off in the centre of town.

They split into two teams.The orders were simple, ask around if anyone had seen anything suspicious and call if help needed.

Reno, how ever had an other task at hand before he would even think about working. He came back out of a store with a sandwich and a drink and walked up to his partner who was waiting for him.They went to the park so the red-head could eat.

There was an unusual silence between them before Rude finally spoke.

“Reno?

-What?

- . . . What’s been going on?

-What ya mean?
-These days . . .y-you haven’t been your self . . . what’s going on?” Reno let out a long sigh

“It’s just . . . well . . . some thing has been bothering me . . .

-That! Any one can see!

-It . . .it’s really that obvious?” Rude nodded. “It’s . . . I . . . I can’t say! You’re gonna think I’ve lost it man!

-Try me!” Rude smirked looking over his glasses.

-“Well . . . you know what happened . . . long ago . . . it’s cinda come back to haunt me.

-What do ya mean?-I . . . I can hear him, during the night. What happened . . . I dream it over an’ over every night.

-Is that why you can’t sleep?-Maybe . . . There’s . . . nah never mind.” Reno looked away from his partner.

-“Reno . . . spit it out!” Rude snapped.

-“I can hear him again. It’s more present and . . . it’s really scaring me. He’s putting the blame on me. I mean . . . it’s like he say saying that I did it . . . when I didn’t . . . how could I?

-Reno . . .” His partners’ voice brought him back out of his thoughts. “Don’t listen . . . you know, they know, it’s not true. So don’t think about it!

-Easy for you to say!” Rude sighed. He got up and told the Red-head that it was time for them to start working.  

 

**********************

“Tseng?” came a soft voice from behind him. “what going on with Reno?

-I don’t Elena.

-Does it that he’s gonna have to leave?

-If we don’t find a solution, yes.” Sighed the dark haired man.  

*********************

 

“So where do we start?

-I don’t know Rude! I would have quite happily stayed in bed!

-Yeah . . .

-Hey wait . . .

- The street from yesterday?

-Exactly!” Reno smiled.

 

They went to the Market Road and down the dark street where Reno was attacked the previous day. “It doesn’t look as scary in the day time!” Reno smirked.

The two friends walked slowly down the street, checking if they missed anything the day before.They spent a long time there inspecting every corner, from the splits in walls to floor, any thing to find some kind of clue. The street suddenly went dark. They both looked at the sky.“There goes my sunny day!” complained Reno.

-“I did say it would!

-Yeah it’s so you’re fault from saying it!

-Right . . .” Rude sighed.

- “ Yes it . . .” He stopped when they heard a shuffle behind them and automaticlly looked. “ I think we missed that!

- I think so to!” was Rude answer.

They stepped closer to their discovery, a hole in one of the wall. It definitively wasn’t there the day before.

After a few moments of discussing what they were going to do, they decided to go and investigate. After all, it was their job, always being sent into the worst situations. 

 

They found them selves in an other street, hard to access by road or by foot. At first they thought some had done it to ease the way to get there. But that theory was quickly forgotten when they saw torn and blood stained clothes and bones. There was usually five ways into the place, only by foot but yet they had been blocked of with rubble and metal plates going across each entrance. Clearly the authorities of the town were trying to block something in here, yet why didn’t they contact Shinra Company? It WAS them who did that sort of work any way. They noticed an other hole at the other end of the street, where Tseng and Elena came out of.

They had come up to the same conclusion as Reno and Rude. 

The fog was falling; surly it was going to rain soon. They could barely see.

“Reno, did you see anything like this yesterday?” asked Tseng nearly as confused as they were.

“No today’s the first.” Came his voice bit further in the fog, out of his boss sight.

 

Tension was building. They were getting nervous nearly scared.Sounds were ringing around them and the fact they could see far didn’t help one bit. 

“What the hell was that?” Reno stated, staring at the gape in the wall ware him and his partner came from.

-“What the hell was what?” answered his partner, not amused.

-“I saw some thing move!

-Reno this isn’t funny!!!” Yelled Elena.

-“I’m not kidding! I swear I saw something!” He answered looking back at her and then doing one step towards where he was looking previously and at that moment, there was an other noise, but from behind them.

-“What’s going on?” wined Elena but no one answered. “Guys? Answer me!” She started shaking when she felt hot breath at the back of her head. “ This ain’t funny, Reno!” She turned to slap him. 

 

There was a loud scream behind them.

-“What the-WOW!!”Said Reno as he turned around to try and see what she was screaming at.

-“Elena don’t move!!” Stayed Tseng simply.

-“DON’T MOVE!!!! THAT THING WANT’S TO MAKE HER IT’S BREAKFAST!!” Reno yelled.

The mad red-head ran to it, his EMR out as Tseng tried to grab him.

The creature looked up, jumped off the blond girl and stared at him. Reno stopped in his track as it started doing high pitched screams. A few seconds later, Tseng and Rude were also attacked but they managed to avoid the creature.

They were much bigger than any of the four humans.

The second one was closing on them as they stood around their injured friend. The two monsters stared at them as they circled around the humans.

 -“Try it!” Reno snapped. He had figured out what the monsters were after.

A few moments later, three more creatures appeared, also circling them.

-“When ARE you gonna learn to SHUT UP Reno!” Shouted Rude.

-“Oh shoot!” was Renos’ answer.
