Chapter One

Where are they?

No one had heard from Reno that day and Tseng was getting worried. He had sent Rude over at lunchtime to see where the Young Turk was but that was about five hours ago. Neither one had come back. About an hour ago Elena had been sent to find them but she too, never returned. Tseng rushed out when he realised Elena would not return, curious as to what had his friend's attentions. He didn't realise he'd left the TV on and it had a news report on. If he'd have been a few minutes later he would have realised there had been a crash near Reno's place and that traffic was at a stand still. Tseng got into his car and left, not realising that he was heading right into the pile up. It took forever to get past it but eventually he found himself and Reno's apartment. Tseng noticed something strange as he headed to Reno's door, it was partially open but no sound came from inside. He knocked on his door but got no answer. He drew his gun and went in but there was no sign of his fellow Turks.

Tseng headed back out and to his car and decided it was best to head back to HQ just in case he had missed them, but of course he never made it back. On the way there, there was another crash, this time involving Tseng. He lay in his car, gashes all over his body, bleeding to death. His car lay upside down on its roof. His last thoughts were of Reno, Rude and Elena.
