"H-hey! Let me go!" She struggled hard in the grip of two of her peers, two she did not recognize except by uniform.

She tried to kick out but they moved out of the way and lifted her off the ground. She wiggled and then her eyes widened as she saw the door to Rufus's office loom in the distance.

"Aha... ahaha, okay, guys? No! Let's um, I HAVE TO PEE!" She whined and tried to kick again and then sulked. The door opened for them and she was tossed inside in a heap. Immediately her hand went to her stomach, worried for a moment, but then she got up, glaring at the vice president.

"What's the big idea, huh?!"

[ascendation]

Framed in the light from the vast window, shrouded behind the large mahogany desk, the silhouette of the Vice President folded its arms.

"The big idea...?"

He leaned forward, over the desk, a grim cruel frown upon the porcelain face.

"The big idea?" He glared at the two SOLDIERs, and that seemed all the hint they needed, and left the room... closing the door behind themselves and leaving the girl trapped with the executive.

"The big idea might be... that you owe me three months' worth of reports... I trust you didn't forget our little deal?"

[thievingheart]

"That's a TINY idea, not a big one," she snapped out, "tiny like your brain," she muttered under her breath and got to her feet and turned to open the door. It was locked. She growled and kicked it and then glared over her shoulder at him.

"Let me out or I'm seriously gonna go crazy lady on your lily-white ass." Her eyes narrowed and she crossed her arms over her chest and matched him gaze for gaze. She may have been in this shit hole of a city for a few years, but she was still a fuckin' desert princess, and maybe it was time to remind this man what the might of the Al Bhed could be, and how it could be brought down on his little company. Yeah. That'd show him.

[ascendation]

Standing up, the Vice President towered over her, and pointed directly in front of the desk.

"Here. Now."

His tone was stern, but cool. He was not showing any signs of breaking, stressing, or losing his temper.

The Vice President of the Shin-Ra Corporation was not going to be talked down to by some... desert whore. He would show her that. Show her to whom she was loyal...

His daddy couldn't help her this time.

[thievingheart]

She stomped over to his desk and wrapped her fingers in his tie and yanked him forward before he could protest.

"Listen here, mister, I have exactly zero patience for you and your little daddy never said he loved me games. So you let me out, or I break your pretty face and go to jail again. Okay?"

So she was flirting with danger. That was fine. He was flirting with it too. She was a massive ball of pregnancy hormones and rage that Reno hadn't come home from the party yet.

[ascendation]

As he was yanked forward by his throat, he barely batted an eyelash. However, something pressed itself against her stomach... something cold and sharp and cruel.

A knife.

"Now, now..." he hissed, the grim frown still tight at the corners of his mouth, not even the shadow of a smirk there. "I've heard about your little bundle of joy... I'd hate to have to rid you of your morning sickness."

Ice blue eyes flashed, and the knife pressed a little harder, cutting through fabric.

"Now. I want you to sit, and answer my questions. Understood?"

[thievingheart]

Her eyes flicked up to him, as her anger died as quickly as if water had been thrown over her.

She felt the blade, it was cold against her stomach and pressing into her skin. She shivered.

"Bastard," she spat, and then yanked away and sat obediently, arms crossed at the same time, her face set in a defiant glare.

"Yessir mister vice president, sir," she grumbled and looked at her feet before the fight went out of her completely and she sighed.

"What do you want to know?" She looked up at him from under her bangs, slightly worried expression in her eyes.

[ascendation]

Ah. At last. That had not taken long...

Seating himself again, the Vice President clasped his hands on his lap, leaning back in the large leather chair... a serious look upon his face.

"You can start with what you have found out about the General."

There was two things he had asked her to watch out for... unusual things regarding Sephiroth, and unusual things regarding the Turk that lived with them. Both were acting suspicious... and he wanted to know why.

[thievingheart]

"He's grumpy and he trains a lot, and he doesn't like mess," and he has these cells in him and his mom is crazy and I can control him if I want it bad enough.

She shrugged. "He moved out a few weeks ago. It's just me and Reno now, really."

She shuffled her feet a little. Maybe she could work up some static and shock him in the arm or somethin'.

"So um, can I go now???"

[ascendation]

The Vice President huffed slighty. That... was rather brief.

"Not quite," he replied, shaking his head. Hmmmm... "Rather brief, for a tri-monthly report, hmm?" he asked, cocking his head to one side... his tone alone said that he was not to be messed with.

"What about Kiribani?"
