Hello! again! Not many readers but that's okay I'll still post! Anyways thanks Izzia for being a devoted reader I really hope you like this chapter!

Reno and Rude casually walked off the elevator onto there office floor. Rude stopped at a cubical door and looked at Reno.

Reno looked at Rude, "So let me get this straight you won't help me with the client and now you're telling me that I have to talk to Tseng alone?" Rude smiled and left him alone in the hall, "I hate you know that, right?"

"Tsk tsk Reno you are a raging ball of fire." Reno turned around to see a tall, blue suited man with brown shaggy hair and bright blue eyes. Reno wanted to punch his smiling face.

"A.J. not now." Reno however resisted the urge and pushed past him.

"Aww Reno's all testy cause he knows he's in trouble." A.J. followed him down the hall.

Reno turned around and looked up into his face. He hated being short, "Why would I be in trouble?"

"Well I don't see your client anywhere." A.J. smirked, "What'd you do get them killed on the train here?"

Reno sighed and ran his hand through his hair, "I don't have time for this."

A.J. wiped the smile from his face, "Oh golly Reno, you're serious aren't you? I'm sorry man I didn't mean it I was just-"

"Got ya." Reno stuck out his tongue and gave a friendly peace sign.

"Ahh RENO!" A.J. almost had him if he hadn't slipped into Tseng's office.

"Reno, how nice of you to drop in, sit down." Tseng was sitting behind his desk looking at paperwork.

Reno walked over and slouched down into a seat. Tseng didn't look up, in fact he wasn't doing anything, which didn't help Reno's nerves. He didn't want to screw this up. He didn't want to disappoint Tseng.

After a few moments Tseng finally looked up and set his work aside, "Alright Reno lets have the story." Reno sat up and explained everything from when Annabel started to give him information to the explosion. Tseng's brow furrowed, "Hmm..." He got up and paced around his desk.

Reno held his breath. It always impressed him to watch Tseng make a decision. He calculated every detail that was told from him until he was sure.

"What's her last name?" He finally spoke.

Reno looked up, "Um Morris I think, or last I knew."

"You last knew? You know the client?" Tseng sat on the front of his desk.

"It's not a happy relationship but I knew her back in the day." Reno looked away from Tseng. He didn't want to talk about it.

"Hmm..." He pushed some buttons on his phone.

"Can I help you sir?" A.J.'s voice was heard on the phone.

"Get me all the information on Annabel Morris from," He looked at Reno.

"I don't know I was justtrying my best to hear her out." He scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Just get me all the information on all the Annabel Morris' that fit the description of," Again Tseng looked at Reno.

Reno sighed, "Brown hair and eyes. Around 5' 7", age 18, weighs about shoot I don't know120-125lbs that's about all I can give you."

Tseng repeated the information and hung up the phone, "Where is the client now?"

"Um well in the ShinRa's hospital." Reno cringed at the glare he was receiving Tseng.

"What? What happened?" Tseng stood up and fumed.

"It was an accident I don't know whathappened. Annabel just clamped up. Bullets started flying and she just froze and fell unconscious." Reno tried his best to sink into the chair.

Tseng groaned and walked out of the office. Reno sat there alone in Tseng's office. He felt like a truck had hit him again, "I knew it, I knew it. I should've told him where she was to begin with."

"RENO GET YOU'RE ASS IN THIS DAMN ELEVATOR NOW!" Was heard outside the office. Reno stared at the hall, he had never heard such a thing before, "RENO!"

He scrambled out the door and ran down the hall into the closing elevator. He coughed and leaned up against the wall. Tseng looked at him, "You need to stop smoking."

"Don't even start. It's not that important anyways."

"It is important!" Tseng shouted, "Dammit Reno I need you on this team! There are things that have and are taking place right now that in the future I'm gonna need your scrawny red headed ass for!" He sighed, "Reno you irritate me."

Reno had never seen Tseng like this. He usually was a calm and collective man. Now he was loosening his tie, running his hand through his hair and pissed off.

"Look I know you're new, but you really need to know that the Turks isn't just a job, it's a life. As soon as you accept that there isn't going back. You can't create families, friends, but you'll always have a enemy out there. You can't care." Tseng looked at Reno again with his dark eyes, "Especially when you're teamed up with a company like ShinRa because they don't care either."

"Tseng what are trying to say?" Reno asked.

"What I'm trying to say is Ms. Morris is probably going to be a Hojo science projects." The elevator door opened to the hospital wing

"Fine by me." Reno crossed his arms.

"Not by me!" He grabbed the rebellious 18 year old by the shirt collar and dragged him to the receptionist desk, "We need the money, we're running on fumes. Now tell the nice lady here who we are looking for."

Reno was about to ask when he noticed doctors wheeling her down the hall.

"Reno!" Tseng nudged him slightly. Reno blinked and pointed the way she went.

They both started down the hall after her and into her room. Doctors mingled around her bed hooking her up to things. IVs, heart monitor, oxygen max. A sudden wave of nausea washed over Reno. He bolted out of the room and into the hall.

He was dizzy so he leaned his head against the wall and breathed deeply. In, out, in, out, "Reno? Are you alright?"

"I...can't...I can't be in there right now." He sank to floor as he held his stomach.

Tseng nodded, "Just stay right there for now. I'll be out in a minute."

That minute seemed like an eternity to Reno. His head was pounding and sweat was dripping down his back.

"Come on kid I'll drive you home." Was all he heard as he was nearly dragged most of the way out of the building.
