Chapter 8


As Vincent lay awake inside the men’s room he lay there thinking about things. He’d been told that Mym was dead, but then again the President had probably said he’d died too after what had happened with Hojo and being locked in that coffin. He opened his eyes as he perked up a bit, his hearing picking up voices. Hearing the voices barely above Barret’s snoring he tried to discern whose they were but he could only tell they were female. They were higher pitched, not the deep voices of the males of the party. Also all the men were accounted for in the room. Silently sitting up and pulling on his boots by the bedside he looked towards the others, not wanting to wake them. After getting his gun he quietly crept from his bed to the doorway and carefully opened the creaking door, slipped out and closed it. It was then that he realized he hadn’t even put a bandana in his hair to hold it back and his cape was still folded on the chair at the bottom of his bed.

“Oh well,”he thought to himself as he shrugged slightly,”It doesn’t matter, I have my gun. That’s all I need.”

Walking slowly and carefully along the narrow, dim hallway he edged closer to the voices. Gun up and ready for a fight if he should encounter one he came along until he was almost outside the girl’s room and the balcony door. The voices were coming from the balcony he realized. Peering out from one of the windows where he could see the balcony where he spotted Mym and Aeris sitting out there talking.

“Now what’re they talking about,”he wondered then had an afterthought,”I really shouldn’t spy on them. It is none of my business nor my concern what they discuss.”

As he was walking away though, Vincent heard a few things that sparked his attention. Mentions of Mym’s time in the lab and other things like that.

“Apparently Aeris asked her about her past,”Vincent thought to himself, reasoning it in his mind that yes, he’d like to hear this. To find out what that bastard Hojo had done to her. Moving back closer to the door he holstered his gun and eased himself down onto the ground, being careful not to make any noise.
