Black Order Prisoner: Nero

Enzo strolls out of the scolding hot shipping container. His fingers trickling softly on the pendant around his neck, his attention clearly elsewhere as he walks while thinking.
A Sergeant in his unit approaches, snacking on a chocolate bar.

Higgens: Lieutenant

He says to him while eating the chocolate bar.

Enzo: Higgens

Higgens: how'd it go? He say anything?

Enzo: no… nothing… yet

Higgens: man, how long's it been? Almost two years of torture and still nothing? Maybe he doesn't really know where he is

Enzo: maybe...or maybe he's extremely loyal

Higgens: hmm, maybe

Sergeant Anderson approaches from the right, returning from gathering word from the General himself. He gives a single tap to the tactical earpiece at the side of his ear.

Anderson: I just got off with the General. He's requesting a meeting

Enzo: I know

The helicopter loudly hovers around in the air as the pilot ready's to set it down. The rotors' rapid spinning blows out a gust of wind.

Anderson: he sent for a chopper to fetch you? Must be really urgent

Higgens turns to Enzo and asks…

Higgens: something up?

Enzo shakes his head slightly and responds, “not sure,” then walks over to the helicopter.

Enzo: in the mean time I want you guys to head out to the South

Anderson: you want us to complete the mission without you?

Enzo: you’re all Sergeants, aren’t you? I trust that you can handle one simple mission by yourselves without having me to hold your hands

The helicopter barely had a minute on the ground and is already in the sky traveling back to Sapphire City.

Sapphire City-Army Base; The General's sector

Sid blends in with the rest of the soldiers, camouflaging himself and roaming past undetected. He makes a quick turn and notices General Cross standing outside with Lieutenant Asami at his side.

Sid: this is my chance

Noting his chance while the General converses with his close Lieutenant, Sid makes his way to General Cross' office as he sneaks past them unseen.

Asami: how goes it, sir?

G. Cross: we’re still in negotiations

Asami: and are you sure that this is the way to go?

G. Cross: are you questioning my judgement?
