New Positions [Autumn]

If Lucas followed his map, he would soon come across the Public Relations Department. It was clearly the friendly face of the company and had thus received more love than the drab turk offices downstairs especially when it came to interior decorating. Everything here was sleek glass and darkly modern.

A gorgeous woman dressed like an airship stewardess grinned at him from behind the reception desk as a red light scanned his body. Lucas Garret. The mechanical voice announced and the woman gestured towards Autumn’s office which was around the corner.

There was a dark haired man in a suit standing guard outside her door and he seemed to recognize Lucas as he approached. The man knocked on her door and opened it just a crack. There was a brief conversation before he nodded and stepped aside to allow Lucas in to see his sister.

Autumn was sitting behind a dark hardwood desk in a spacious but dimly lit room, a gorgeous view of the setting sun over Midgar was framed in the large window behind her.

“It’s about time you stop by to see big sis-” Autumn looked up and stopped immediately, speechless. She was about to give him a hard time about not visiting her in the hospital but it was immediately apparent what had happened.

“Well,” She slammed her notebook closed and stood up with a grim expression. Now that he had a good look at her he would notice her clothes looked more expensive but her arm was still wrapped in a sling. “I guess you’ve been busy.”

“You did this behind my back?” Autumn stared icily at her younger brother. His eyes were different, brighter, and he looked stronger… like a SOLDIER. Her voice came out as an accusing hiss. “You left me there. All alone in the hospital with these people.”

After everything they had seen. The things they had discussed. Lucas knew better than to trust their uncle but he left her in the care of Shin-ra doctors. What if the science department had gotten their hands on her? And what was worse was that he had signed up to be experimented on. Her brother had changed in more ways than one.

“Do you have any idea how worried I’ve been? What if you’d died and I wasn’t there? You’d really just leave me here with no goodbye?”
