"Somebody likes her cheeseburgers!" Mikari giggled. "Drink some Pepsi Hikou, it's the best thing ever!"

"Okay so three cheeseburgers to that, or something." Reno concluded, "You better have gotten that." And he looked to the counter where he was thinking there should be a menu because always looking up behind the clerks put a crick in his neck. He spoke again, "And just get Rude his usual." He shrugged.
"Alright," the clerk softly answered, "That will be-"
"Put it on my tab." Reno smiled wide.
"But sir, you never pay your tab." She said as politely as one could when arguing with a Turk.
"Hmm," Reno shook his head, "I don't think I stuttered. My. Tab. Now."
There was a pause and every spectator could see she was weighing the consequences. Finally she gave a sigh and handed over his receipt. She defeatedly said, "I'll have someone bring it over for you."
After solving things Reno looks back at his companions, "Feel free to sit where you want." Meaning 'Pick a table because I ordered everything.'

"Somewhere far from people," she wasn't the biggest fan of people and no where close. "Why does it have to be so crowded, Turks should have their own cafeteria." The looked around for a table that was as far as possible from the crowded areas. If she couldn't find one it was no problem. She grinned thinking of several ways to clear the area.

Hikou slid into a booth at random, tapping out of Mikari's isolationist mentality, really just happy to have a place to actually sit, completely and wholly oblivious to the man and woman who already occupied the table.
There was a heavy cough, and the girl moved her head exceptionally slowly, and opened one eye much the way one would expect to see a crocodile act. "Can I help you?" she deadpanned, tired, dirty, and just not in the mood.
Realizing what he was dealing with the man grabbed his companion by the arm and tugged her away, nearly spilling their trays on their close-escape.
It was hard not to laugh.
"You think Tseng's gonna bother to debrief us?" she yawned between prods at her own arm, wincing with each poke. This was really getting to be a terrible habit.
Poking her head up, she gave an expectant glance towards where she knew the kitchen would be, impatiently awaiting her burgers.

"Does he ever?" Reno inquired as he sat down with a plop. He bounced on the seat for a minute and put his arms behind his head. "Besides, if I know Snow, she's probably doing that grunt work anyways." He looked to Mikari, "So let's just enjoy our lunch.
- As a matter of factly, Snow was getting her ankle checked out an hovering about the infirmary awaiting news on their Spitter. Tseng had gone to get lunch.

Mikari glared at everyone around warning them to avoid the area immediately around the table, and she sat down. "I still wish we had a private Turks cafeteria..." Never mind the Spitter, it had been delivered and it was someone else's problem so she didn't really care what happened to it.

Hikou shrugged, point taken. "I'm just worried about that kid, is all." It was an odd thing to admit, especially when the boy seemed so adamant about hating them. "I don't trust the Lab Rats," she said, "and I don't trust him to keep his mouth shut."
She gave her bicep another painful prod. "I just don't like it."

"Then go to the infirmary and check on the brat?" Reno offered, but it was pretty clear he couldn't care less one way or another.
-
Snow sat on the chair immediately to the left of the child they had 'rescued' from the wreckage. She made no motion to speak to him, but the staff made no motion to ask him what had really happened either.
Her nausea had subsided and her ankle stung minimally, she gave a soft sigh. She should have been hungry.

"We already brought him in, we'll still get paid for him even if the lab rats break him right?" Never mind the clues and leads the kid could provide. Unless the information that the Spitter had could somehow restore Shinra to it's former mako sucking glory, then she didn't care. "Relax, if it breaks, it's not our fault," and whatever problem she couldn't be blamed for didn't really exist for her.

Hikou frowned, resting her head against her hand. "Seeing kids like that just makes me feel guilty." Biting her lip, she glanced to the counter again, hoping to steer away from the warped feeling in the pit of her stomach as quickly as possible. "Where's our food?"

"Guilty?" It's not like they has injured him, if anything they saved him. "Guilty that you saved his like and now the world has to deal with one more idiot? Don't worry too much about it, what's one more idiot when there are so many already?"
Mikari glanced at Reno, "where's th food?" He ordered so if anything was late he would be blamed.

"Coming." Reno answered as though it were true. Like he knew or cared. But he looked up to see a young woman with their food.
"Sorry it took so long." she voiced and she set the order down without making eye contact and then shuffled away without letting them respond.
"See." was all Reno offered.
-=-=-=-=
"Sorry, but you're going to have to leave - we can't do all procedures with you here."
"So you'd let him die as long as I stay?" Snow inquired.
Offended the doctor answered, "Not at all! But you are in the way!"
"You're not denying his shape though, is he really dying?"
The doctor stood stunned, and his nurse answered, "If he is it is because of the Turks!"
"I'll remember that the next time a terrorist is trying to put your pretty little face on a platter, Shinra Scum." Snow answered, she turned to the waiting area of the infirmary and sat indignantly and impatiently. She had viewed them all as on the same team, and the Turks were still the 'last to reform' in everyone's books.
She groaned inwardly and crossed her arms. Why was she even here? Some obligation to the poor boy they had brought in. Some sense he'd squeal. Or perhaps, most of all, to protect their find.

"Lucky guess," Mikari looked at the food disapprovingly. "I said pizza with icecream not pizza and icecream." She dumped the icecream on top of the pizza, the ice cream would melt and the pizza would cool, it was perfect, and she intended to eat it all with a spooon.

Hikou sighed, taking a small bite out of her cheeseburger. Reno had been right. If it really was that big of a deal, she ought to just go take care of it herself.
Suddenly, she wasn't feeling all that hungry any more.
But Hikou was never a girl to scorn a good cheeseburger, so she stood with it still in hand and explained, "I got to go to the infirmary anyway. They ought to be able to give me more pain pills."
Not to mention there was a green syringe somewhere with her name on it, MP totally depeleted.

The young turk walked casually into the cafeteria. His white dress shirt was untucked, looking even sloppier than Reno's usual attire, and had crimson splatter sprayed all over it. The blood splatter looked recently dried - Not old but not exactly fresh either. There was a bit on the lapel of his coat as well and faint traces of smeared blood on his face. It looked as though he simply just tried to wipe it off with his sleeve. His hair was half spiked, the other half seemed ruffled and messed up and his overall appearance just seemed dirty and worn.
"Hm?" Matt looked over and saw some of his fellow turks sitting at a table, already eating lunch. He walked over and sat down with them, not waiting to be invited. "Hey guys, how's it going?" He asked with a relaxed smile. He didn't seem to take notice of his appearance at all. "Don't know about you, but I've had one hell of a morning. Rather stubborn 'mission' that one was...man am I starved."
"Yo! Can I get a burger, fries and chocolate milk over here!" he called out to the waitress across the cafeteria. "...oh, and just add it to Reno's tab." He then turned to Reno "ah, don't worry...I'll pay you back." He said, without the slightest bit of sincerity or intention to do so.
He slouched in his seat and made himself even more comfortable and relaxed (if that was at all possible). "So.." he asked in a casual, laid back tone "what have you guys all been up to?"

Hikou took another thoughtful bite of her burger, still standing above the table. "Got shot by some no-name city-limit gang-rat," she muttered spitefully between chews, "and pulled a dissenter out of Old Midgar..."
She paused long enough to swallow, glancing over towards the elevator almost anxiously. "Anyway, I'm gonna go make sure they've left our Spitter in one piece and see if the evil doctors'll lend me some of their magic pills."
Deciding that was a good enough farewell, the girl strode off.

Reno didn't seem to care one way or another having something added to his tab. At least not on the outside but internally he half growled about how that was his line and his duty. He ate his lunch, ignoring practically everyone around him until he felt it was convenient for conversation and then he registered Matt's question.
"saving girls who get in over their heads." Reno smirked, oddly proud of himself to be bringing this to light.
-
Tseng had gotten his lunch, and gone back to his office without being noticed at all. He decided that was probably for the best.
-
Snow sat impatiently, angrily, and insecurely as she fiddled with her boot and ankle. It didn't sting but she wasn't sure if that was because of the infirmary or because there was nothing immediately wrong. She listened for sounds that the Spitter was alright and after no screams or stabs of terror she reasoned the doctors just hated the Turks.

Hikou had finished half of her cheeseburger by time the elevator released her onto the medical floor. The hallways were still lined in steel, and she'd always had her suspicions about the original intention of this design. To be perfectly honest, it always reminded her of Hojo's old containment cells.
It wouldn't have been shocking to learn it wasn't built to be an infirmary.
Or that the second-rate scientists turned doctors were just that.
Ignoring the disapproving looks of the passing employees, cloaked in white labcoats, the girl trekked along the corridor, trying to remember her way around the floor. She was just outside of what she thought was the main room when her phone gave a startling buzz.
FR:Rude SND: Hikou Jonathan Bennett, FILE 87-R
Her hand froze for a second on the door, before she pushed it open.
"Ma'am, you'll have to turn your PHS off in here," a pretty young thing behind the counter warned her, already eyeing the bloodspot on her jacket's sleeve. "And I'll need your ID number."

"Getting shot at, saving damsels in distress....it sounds like you've been having a pretty average day as a turk." Matt mused. "Heh, oh well...it may be boring, but at least the pays good I guess.."
And with that, he wolfed down the burger (which he didn't pay for, in spite of his previous comments) and gulped down the chocolate milk in one go. He seemed to ignore the fries, making one wonder why he even ordered any in the first place.
"So you just waiting for your next mission like me? Or are you all still on the clock?"
