AN: I own nothing in this story. This is for Queen Alla so enjoy! Please R&R.
It had happened so damn fast.
Reno had been watching the monitor showing Elena's point of view as Tseng, Rude, and the blonde made their way further into the Northern Crater. Reno normally disliked waiting in the chopper missions but for this one he was glad for it.
The redhead wanted no part in finding whatever tentacled sample of Jenova the president thought was out here.
That's when he heard gunshots.
Turning his attention to the video monitor, he saw something out of fantasy. Three men had appeared, knit from the very darkness as they stalked towards his comrades. All three had silver hair and piercing eyes that were almost cat like.
And as gunshots rang out, static engulfed the screen but the audio was still working.
"Rude take the sample and run!" Tseng's voice ordered. Elena cried out in pain and Reno's fists clenched as more gunshots came to life before falling silent several moments later.
Reno quickly started up the chopper, his mind only focused on what to do in order for him and Rude to get out of here safely. His bald partner made it to the chopper a few minutes later, the vehicle airborne shortly after that.
"What's the plan?" Rude asked.
"We deliver the package to the boss, get some help, and go show those three what happens when you mess with the Turks."
But Reno had a feeling things wouldn't be that simple.
Amid his thoughts the monitor screen stopped showing static and one of the three men appeared , a smile on his face.
"How do you work this thing? Oh, never mind. You have our mother. Return her to us."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Reno replied. The man smirked and yanked the camera from Elena's shoulder. Turning it around, he aimed it at the blonde and the red head noticed the blood trailing from several cuts. A sword appeared in the camera's lens just then and sliced along Elena's left thigh. More pressure was applied and soon enough Elena had a new injury. She didn't scream though.
"She's stubborn, don't you agree? We'll hurt her slowly, let's say she'll loose an inch for every hour mother is away from us."
"I'm just the deliveryman. The president is the one who makes the decisions," Reno said. The man seemed to consider this for a moment.
"So we'll have to see your boss eh? Maybe it would be best to leave this place and see the city. Our big brother is also there. My name is Kadaj and the next time we meet I will have mother in my arms again."
The screen faded to black when Kadaj had stopped talking.
Reno sighed heavily and focused on flying, one of his hands dialing a certain number.
"Strife Delivery Service, Tifa speaking."
He had forgotten how soothing her voice could be. And despite how disastrous the situation was, despite the fact that the woman he loved was being tortured along with one of his friends, Reno couldn't keep the smirk from his face as he spoke.
"Yo Tifa, remember me?"
