... Aw, shit. It had been so long since Reno had spent time in his office. He'd gotten kinda familiar with it, what, back when the parents were on the island, way back? But he'd gone and told the Rookie's Rookie that he'd be here today, in case she wanted to talk. And anyhow, there was always shit to do.
Maybe he could hammer out lesson plans that would give him some kind of edge over that jerkass in the red coat.
Yeah. And he could write it in the dust that had settled on his desk over the months, too. Jeez.

"I only got a few requests, if this knowledge is what you're handin' to me," he said, thoughtfully. "First, whenever you're gonna go visit these friends of yours, I want to know when you're expectin' to come back. If you don't got a cellphone, I'll get you one. That way, if you ever step in it, you can call. I'm faster'n I look, yo."
At least, when Portalocity was being cooperative.

"Andrew... Andrew wants us to help he and his group take down the people that run Lyle House and their other organizations so that they stop doing this to kids. They know they've killed a lot of kids, but the four of us are the only witnesses to that. He doesn't want us in the fight, just wants us to meet his friends and give them information. So, at some point, I will have to go to New York and meet these people. But... if I have to go, I had planned on letting someone here know exactly where I'm going and when I expect to be back." She let out a breath. "Because I don't want to disappear and have my friends not know what has happened to me, Reno. Lyle has caused that with too many kids and their families, and I won't let that be the case with me. People I care about will have answers and closure."
Or, well, if Reno got involved then maybe she shouldn't be expecting that all they would get is closure if shit did hit the fan.

"If it ever comes down to you thinkin' you need an escort," he mused, "I got no compunctions about gettin' my hands dirty, either."
It went nicely with that introduction that he'd been given in class on Monday. Only this wouldn't be for the killer health benefits package.
Re: NFB
And really, she was only almost sixteen and in no hurry to die.
Then she gave him a grin. "It would really be helpful if their group got stupid enough to try to invade here, huh?"
Re: NFB
"No kiddin'," he replied, shaking his head a little. "They sure as hell wouldn't make it long. Might find out first-hand what some of the other people on the island with powers think of 'em. I mean, damn near everyone around here is kinda like a special little snowflake or whatever, yo."
Re: NFB
That made her grin even wider. Because, really. If they tried to get at her while she was in a class?
Re: NFB
Look, the policy was no getting caught with weapons on-campus. Or, at least, that was how Reno saw it.
"Man, if they pulled somethin' like that around here, then they're way dumber than I thought," Reno mused. "They don't have some kinda info network? Where do they get their tips about the kids, usually?"
Because... Hey. He was a Turk. A Turk who had done some side-jobs for the CIA while still in high school, himself. He couldn't help but think that it would be kinda fun to fuck with their heads a bit.

"Definitely. I'd pass it around more than that, even," he agreed. "Shit, if I didn't think they'd pass it off as a hoax, puttin' it in the hands of the media could do huge friggin' damage against these assholes."
He pursed his lips slightly, picking up a pen and idly tapping it against the top of his desk as he thought.
"Look... What Genesis," as much as Reno hated him, "said in class about me on Monday's all true, Rookie. If you ever figure you can make use of any of that..." He shrugged, and the next phrase came out sounding almost bored. It wasn't that he was, really. That was just the way Reno worked. "Just say the word."
Kidnapping, killing, spying. Hell, he'd be lying if he said that he didn't miss it.
Re: NFB
And oh hadn't that hurt when it had been pointed out.
Chloe hadn't liked the way Genesis introduced Reno, but she didn't comment much on it. Yet.
"It might have been true, but that doesn't tell the whole story. If it was, then you wouldn't be here and you wouldn't be concerned that I or even someone you only met once is in real shit." That was something she was definitely sure of. "And believe me, if it comes down to it, Reno, I'm really glad that you and your skills are in my corner to help."
Look, Tori had almost killed her when she was brought to Lyle House -- even if it was because she hadn't thought about what might happen to Chloe -- just because Simon liked her. However, now Tori was her best friend.
Re: NFB
"Well, so long as you know that my skills are there at your disposal, Rookie," he replied, shrugging. "Let me know the second anything comes up, and it's all good, yo."
Re: NFB
Re: NFB
Or, you know, whenever. She wouldn't be the first Rookie he'd had to just call him up to shoot the shit, but she was admittedly the first Rookie he had who'd started as a student instead of a peer.
Re: NFB
Re: NFB
Reno's phone was not generally the recipient of prank phone calls. Because, of course, it was his business phone, through the Turks.
Re: NFB
Because, really? If something happened and Tori called him? She'd greet him with 'The bastards have Chloe and they need to die.' Tori's communications could be special sometimes.
