 Tseng made is way quickly back to Shinra headquarters.
"Welcome back Mr.Tseng," the secratary said as he walked past her.
He nodded to her and kept walking into an open elevator, Once the shiny doors closed around him he let himself smile and touch the flower she had sold to him.
"Today must be my lucky day," he said with a sigh as the elevator doors opened with a loud ding.
He stepped out into the hall and hurried through the door to his office, pulling out the delicate white lilly.
"Elana?" he called out to the quiet room, remembering that he had left her alone in his office to finish his work.

Hmm? I can hear....Tseng-san's voice....is he nearby? Elena mumbled in her sleep, shifting her head from time to time on the hard desk with her blond hair cascading all over the papers. Still, she lay in deep sleep, dreaming of her leader, dreaming that he'd praise her for once. I'll work harder....all for Tseng!
"...Ts-Tseng...." she murmured.

Tseng's gaze swept over to the papers on his desk. A dreamy smile crept onto his face. and he walked to his desk.
"You've finished, Elana? Well done," he said searching his bottom drawer, "Im impressed. Ah! Here it is."
He pulled out a long necked vase and carefully inspected it to be sure there were no cracks in it. he held it out for her with a smile.
"could you do me a favor and fill this with water?"
Then he realized just how unusual he was acting.
"Now," he orderd, his tone becomig instantly cold.

 Aerith bent over the creamy white lillies the moment she knew Tseng was gone and started tearing at the stubborn weeds like a mad women. They seemed to be exceptionaly resistent to her today. Their roots clung deep into the ground, absolutely refusing to give up their glorious home. When she was finished, she had a large pile of disgarded weeds beside her.
"That was more work than I had figure it to be..." she mumbled brushing off her dirt soaked hands.
The sun was already alot lower in the sky than the last time she had checked.
"I know I should be getting home..." she said with a small yawn, "but perhaps it would do mom some good to see that I can take care of myself."
A tiny laugh escaped her pretty pink lips at the very idea of purposely defying her Mother.
"Well, " she said sitting down by the flower bed, "it can't do too much harm just to hang out here for a little bit..."
She yawned once more and streached out over the flowers. It was no suprise to her that they didnt crush under her weight like normal flowers would. These were her flowers. If they could survive Midgar, then they could survive anything.
Her bright emerald eyes fixed on a pearly white cloud peaking through the roof's many holes. Very slowly her eyes drifted shut and despte her minds constant warning not to go to sleep, she eventualy surrenderd herself and drifted off into dreams.
"Only for a moment..." she mummbled before being wisked away into dream land.

Zack scratched his head, while looking clueless.
"That's a good question... I don't know how we should go about entering,"
he sighed, crossing his arms.
"I'm not good at planning things out before I go off and do them,"
he grinned.

Cloud rolled his eyes. "Really? I hadn't noticed."
He looked up at the gate and felt impending doom. There was no way that ShinRa had just forgotten them. They would still be in the top five priorities. "We're so screwed."

Elena could not believe her eyes. A dreamy smile crept onto his face, the kindest expression that she has seen yet. Instantly she was memorized, taking in every precious moment of his smile, his gentle words, his sincere praises. The blond watched as Tseng made his way behind the desk, right next to her. Her heartbeat quickened at the close proximity his body was to her. She held her breath, watching him bend over to open the bottom drawer. He held out a beautiful long-necked vase with intricate floral designs. The same smile yet again shone on his smooth features. He held out the vase to the girl.
"Coud you do me a favor and fill this with water?" he asked with such gentleness that if Elena stood, she would have collapsed from weak knees. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks and before she could answer him, his tone changed abruptly.
"Now," he ordered, instantly cold. Elena's spirits fell to the abyss but she could not show him her weakness. Quickly she scrambled out of the desk and saluted her leader.
"Sir, yes sir! I shall fill the vase for you!" Elena exclaimed and carefully removed the vase from Tseng's grip. She gave a proper bow before exiting the office. Once she closed the door, the blond let out a sigh of relief. That was....the most beautiful smile I've ever seen....Who or what could've made him smile so? Perhaps it had something to do with his mission? But even so....he praised me....and was so kind and gentle to me. Elena trotted towards the elevator. I envy the one who could make him smile...this person must really be special to him....

"AW, c'mon Cloud. That's no way to talk,"
Zack had held back the urge to call the younger blonde 'kid' like he always had. Cloud certainly was no kid anymore, so reluctantly he held his tongue.
"We could just barge right in,"
Zack said nonchalantly, as if it were no big deal.
"I can handle anything they throw at me,"
he smirked.

Tseng sighed and sunk into his desk. he was sorry about being so harsh with Elana so very suddenly, but he knew someday she would understand. She truly was improving and he was proud of her for it.
"Thats why I have to be so strict with her..."
A weak smile lit up his fatures and he pulled out the delicate lilly from it's hiding place beneith his coat. he placed the flower on his desk and glanced over at the large stack of papers that Elana finished so quickly.
He picked up the very top paper and looked it over very quickly. he nooded his aprooval and set it back down.
Elana certainly did know what she was doing. With a little more experience, she could someday take his job. He laughed softly at that idea but stopped himself very quickly. Elana could be back any second. it wouldnt do for her to see him so happy. He was still in charge of her. He couldnt allow her to think that it was acceptable to laugh, smile, or even cry. being a Turk was serious business.
He brought his eyes to the old clock hanging on the wall and waited for Elana to return.

Elena quickly filled the intricate vase up with the right amount of water-not too much and not too little. With extra caution, she made sure that all of her fingers wrapped around the vase securely. Not to waste anymore time, Elena strode down the hall towards Tseng's office, her heart pounding with anticipation. It's difficult facing Tseng...it's like walking into a pit of fire...but he's my boss so he has to be strict...Yes, that's right...Tseng isn't allowed to show any weakness. Perhaps he's really kind and gentle on the inside! Elena smiled to herself at these thoughts, close to lying to herself that Tseng would welcome her with a secret smile. She frowned when she approached the door. In your dreams Elena.... The blond cleared her throat and opened the door, stepping into the office.
"Sir, I have filled your vase!" she reported, bowing with respect, waiting for him to say something cold and discouraging.

Tseng looked up in time to see Elana enter with his vase.
He paused for a full moment to decide just what he would say.
I supose a little encouragement wont do any harm...
The corner of his mouth went up in a half-smile and he nodded to her.
"Thank you Elana," he said taking up a pen and paper, "Just set it on my desk."
He began writing a note to remind himself to check up on Aerith later, but he stopped right in the middle of it.
"Elana..." he said very softly as an awful idea came into his head, "have you heard any news of Zack Fair and Cloud Strife?"
He brought his cold dark eyes to look up into hers. He now had a hunch as to where the two may have run off to.

Elena stiffened abruptly when Tseng acknowledged her.
"It's an honor sir," Elena nodded, managing to keep her cool. Tseng is so kind!! Elena placed the vase gently on his desk and brushed back her bangs nervously."Elena..." he said very softly as an awful idea came into his head, "have you heard any news of Zack Fair and Cloud Strife?" Trickles of sweat formed on Elena's forehead. Darn it! I forgot that I was supposed to keep an eye on their whereabouts! But how could I when I was so busy chasing after Avalanche? Elena gulped loudly and shook her head.
"No sir...I could not keep track of the two escapees," Elena bowed apologetically, avoiding the coldness of his eyes.
"Last I've heard sir....that they were spotted by some of the infantry several days ago in their missions, but they lost sight of them as quickly as they caught sight of them," Elena explained.

Tseng sighed and sat back in his chair.
"I see..." he said softly picking up the lilly. As he gazed at the delicate flower, there was a hint of sadness glittering just behind his cold dark stare. With one more sigh he placed the lilly in the vase.
What did it matter? Aerith would never look at me the same way as she looked at Zack...
Tseng stood up so suddenly that his leg bumped against the desk. The vase wobbled dangerously but his hand shot out with amazing speed to catch it just in time.
No... If I just eliminate the competition...
A tiny smirk lit his handsom features as he brough his gaze from the lilly, back to Elana
"i think I know where their heading, Elana," he said softly, his voice just oozing with pleasure, "I want you to have the others search all of Midgar. Leave no stone unturned. I will search the sector seven slums. Have a few men stationed outside the city as well. You have the number to my phone. Elana..." His eyes softened and his eyes searched her pretty young face, "I am counting on you. Report all your findings to me, is that clear?"

Blood rushed violently to Elena's face at Tseng's sudden gentleness.
"Y-Yes sir! I will do my best sir!" she saluted. But...why were his eyes so full of sadness? Elena bowed respectably.
"I will take my leave now sir, you can count on me," the young girl said quietly before exiting the office. Cautiously she closed the door to the office and let out a sigh. First he seemed sullen....then....demonic....and then gentle. I wonder what goes through his mind? Elena leaned on the door with a contemplative look on her face. What can I trust? His cold gaze, his sad eyes, or his kind smile? Which one is real? Elena sighed once again and flipped open her cell phone.
"Secretary! I want Unit 3 to be on guard outside the walls of Midgar. Units 1 and 2 spread over Sectors 5 and 6! Unit 4, I want you at Sector 3 and 4! And someone get me Reno and Rude!!" Elena demanded irritably.
"Yes ma'am! Where will you and your men go may I ask?" said the Secretary.
"I will take my men and head to Sector 1. If Reno and Rude are present, I want them in Sector 2. Our objective is to capture Cloud Strife and Zack Fair," the blond explained.
"I will convey the orders immediately," the secretary answered.

Cloud looked up at the big gate, feeling small and doomed.
"I dunno Zack. I mean, it's a big wall of metal. And we're ... not. Plus there's Turks just waiting for us to go into the city. We should find a way to sneak in."
