Anything in 'blah' will be thoughts and anything in "blah" are what the character's are saying.

I do not own FFVII


Reno was standing outside the flower girl's church, trying to think of a way to let the girl escape without the soldiers realizing he'd done it on purpose. Usually he was alone and just let her escape, without her realizing he let her of course. President Shinra must be getting impatient considering he sent 3 soldier grunts to help capture the ancient. As if a grunt would do anything but get in his way anyways.

A loud crash from up above brought Reno out of his musings. 'Damn the roof just fell in.' thought Reno as he said, "Hope the roof fell on the girl, it'll make my job a hell of a lot easier." The soldier grunts snickered and followed the redhead into the church.

Reno stood and watched as the flower girl bent over to check on what he supposed were her flowers. One of the grunts whispered, "Should we take her now?" Reno raised his hand to shush him and shook his head no. he was curious as to what the girl was looking at. Soon it became apparent as somebody sat up a minute later it seemed like the person had said something to offend her as she started to tend her flowers again. The new person tried to initiate conversation again but the girl just went back to her flowers.

Finally the guy noticed Reno and started to walk toward him. 'took him long enough' he thought. "Hey sis this one's a little weird." Reno raised his voice so the flower girl could hear him. The new guy and the flower girl exchanged a few more words and then she was running to the back of the church saying something about flowers. "Those were mako eyes" Reno muttered as he walked through the flowers. Then as if he remembered something he walked back to his waiting soldiers, "oh and don't walk on the flowers" he said. He didn't listen to the replies of him catching holy hell or whatever they were saying. He already knew he was going to hell after all he was a Turk.

Upon entering the back of the church Reno saw that the Spiky haired guy and the flower girl were already at the second floor of the church, "The ancient's getting away Fire! Fire! Fire!" he commanded. He watched as the flower girl fell from the second floor to the ground, 'damn I hope she's ok.' "Think she's dead? They shouldn't of put up a fight I say." Reno snorted and then commanded the soldier to his left to go retrieve her. Unfortunately Reno had forgotten bout Spiky above them. Spiky sent a barrel crashing down and knocking the soldier unconscious. The same fate met the second soldier and the third as well. Heaving a sigh of relief Reno pulled out his phone and dialed up Shinra medical. At least the flower girl got away again. He would gladly take the punishment he'd receive for failing to capture her again. Personally he didn't want to capture the flower girl, he shuddered to think what Hojo would do to the poor woman.

After hanging up on Shinra medical Reno dialed up Tseng. "Sir the ancient got awa," with that sentence issued he hung up the phone. He really didn't feel like being yelled at over the phone. Once the medical teams arrived Reno walked to the chopper he had flown to the church, got in, and flew back to Shinra. He couldn't put off his punishment forever.

Upon reaching the turk floor Rude stopped him and told him Tseng needed to see him. Walking into his bosses office he could see a worried look. "What's it this time sir?" Reno asked. "The President is sick of you're screw ups on this mission Reno. thats five times you failed him this month, sure you've done better than either Rude or I have but you have yet to bring her in either" "but I..." began Reno. Tseng held up his hand and spoke softly, "I know you did this for me and i appreciate it, but you know I have to punish you. It's going to take place in interrogation room C." Reno shrugged, if it was a beating that was no problem he'd had them countless times before.

Upon reaching interrogation room C Reno had a forboding feeling.


A/N Reno doesn't know cloud's name at this point so I didn't use it. Also he couldn't hear the conversation so im taking it as he might see it cause if you didn't hear the conversation it could come off as she was trying to ignore Cloud. Also I called Aeris flower girl cause I can't see Reno calling her anything but the flower girl or that ancient.

I don't have a beta so if there's any typos I apologize and feel free to correct me. Reviews are appreciated butyou may flame me if you want.

P.S. ok went through and corrected some of the many mistakes I made thanks Tempi-Chan for pointing them out to me. I managed to find some as well and those have been fixed too.
