ADN Patrol Station (Ithteca Branch)

Sakura panted, handing the weapon over to the man behind the counter. "Hi-I was sent by the Section Chief Asura personally to deliver this weapon-for it's possible involvement in the murders that took place in the alleyway." she started. "The suspect has been aprehended and being transported here for interrogation as soon as possible!" she said saluting to the officer.

Alastor stopped quick at ADN HQ to drop off his hitchhiker. "Well nice meeting ya Yuki. Sorry if I have to drop you off and run, but I've got a job waiting for me. But if you wanna talk some more or need a guide around the city... Here." He handed Yuki his business card: "Alastor Grey: Devil Hunter, mercenary." along with the location of his office and work number. "Anyway, see ya." He said, and left for his office.

Rufus sat quietly in his tentative office as he awaited the arrival of a few important appointments.

Tifa opened the doors to the ADN HQ and turned for Barduwulf. "Hey, you comin' or has eighteen years wore you down?" she called back in a light hearted tease sticking her tongue out at him.

Rufus sighed. "What's taking him so long damn it..." he cursed, his fingers laced between each other and hovering over the desk. He shook his head, and looked towards the street window. It was getting too dark outside, possibly 7pm now. He sighed again, running a hand through his hair and leant back in his chair.

Barduwulf, looking at his watch, said "Well, I think we've kept him waiting long enough, lets proceed."

She nodded, smiling to the samurai. "I'm already there." she said letting the door close behind the samurai. They headed down the long corridor and she half turned to Bard. "So, your wife is very energetic as of late..." she said with a nervous smile. :^_^\\\':

"Yes, it's like she hasn't aged at all in the last 18 years."

barduwulf wrote:"Yes, it's like she hasn't aged at all in the last 18 years."

She giggled. "Well, is that a good thing or a bad thing?" she cocked an eye brow and nudged him slightly on purpose.

Barduwulf smirked, and said "Who said I was complaining?"

barduwulf wrote:Barduwulf smirked, and said "Who said I was complaining?"

Rufus let out a low grumble. "Barduwulf Garamonde, that better be your voice I'm hearing...or I swear by the War Gods I will fire everyone in the hallway..." he said, with a slight grin. He knew it was his voice, but wanted the other ADN to clear out. This was private business he was dealing with between Rufus Tenik and the Beijio Empire.

She let out a sly laugh before she heard Rufus's voice. "Well, I think that was the troll roaring; we better get there before he begins to charge people to cross the threshold of his office!" she whispered back holding in a giggle.

"Well, we're gonna ruin his fun either way, so lets do it on our own terms." Barduwulf replied, opening the door, and allowing Tifa to enter first.

Tifa bowed slightly to Barduwulf and entered ahead of him. She turned to the formal world dictator and smiled. "Hey there Prez...Vice Prez." she corrected, sticking her tongue out at him and taking a seat. "I'm here for business too, just to let you know." she added with a grin.

Sakura looked entered the hall way, when she stumbled into Barduwulf. "Hey, Bard-have you seen Asura?" she asked him. "I was told to meet up with her here, but can't seem to find her." she added.

"Yeah, near St. Michaels, she had to take care of a small issue, then we parted ways. Seems she's finally made a friend, too." Barduwulf said.

Sakura blinked. "A friend? What kind of friend?" She asked, cocking her head to the right. "As in like a boyfriend? Or a friend in general?" she asked, and then suddenly blinked again-shaking her head. "Wait a second, what are you doing in the ADN HQ? I thought you were heading back to Beijio?" she asked again, her right hand on her right hip.

"Some girl, they seem close, and I'm here to see Rufus."

She blinked again. "The Vice President of the ADN is here?" she turned to her left, and poked her head through the door slightly spotting the Former President of Tenik Mom always told her never to see without Adult supervision...and then always added that Ikai didn't count as an adult...
"Well I guess he is." she replied after poking her head back to look at Bard.

Rufus saw the girl poke her head through, Kurogasa's kid-Sakura he believed. He grinned waving a hand. "Well, isn't this a scene. The daughter of a woman I formerly kidnapped, and two traitorous T.I.R.S. Agents; all parties punched my face before taking their leave...Come on in Recruit, I have something left for you by the Section Chief herself. Please, come in. You too Barduwulf, there's no trade secrets being discussed here." he said, before adding: "But please be sure to close the door after entering. Thank you." He stroked his goatee and grinned.

"Please tell me you're gonna shave that thing." He said about Rufus's goatee as he closed the door. "It just makes you look like a disaffected member of Generation X, not diabolical." He said as he sat down.

Sakura nodded quickly, and entered the room, taking a seat between the pretty woman in leather and where she would presume Barduwulf would sit. "Alright sir. I don't know what the Section Chief of Ithteca would want of me. I'm just a Recruit, a level zero still going to ADN Military School." she replied.

Rufus narrowed his eyes. "No. I don't think I will. The more annoyed you are the better. Now take a seat and I'll let the meeting begin." He turned to Tifa. "Well...I heard you were dead Ms. Lockheart. I'm glad that you are not." he said smiling genuinely to the woman.

"I am not dead. And thank you for your concern Tenik; though I am sad to say I am not here to exchange pleasantries, I simply am here to do a job." she replied with a genuine grin back. "Now, on to the meeting."
