"Boss wants to see you." Rude told Storm when she walked out of her room the next morning.

She was staying at Shinra until further notice, in case she wasn't safe at her apartment.

Storm groaned. "Do you know what he wants?" Storm already had the basic idea of what he wanted.

"He just wants to ask you some questions."

Storm looked at the ceiling and blew the hair out of her eyes. She might as well get it over with.

She headed across the room towards the elevator, she was almost there when she tripped.

Storm looked down to see Reno sprawled out on the floor in his Turk uniform with his mouth hanging open, hugging a pillow, fast asleep.

"What's with this?" She asked turning to Rude who was sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee.

To Storm's surprise, Rude laughed.

"Guard duty." he smirked at her.

Storm looked at the bald man confused. "Guard duty? What's he guarding."

Rude pulled down his sunglasses and grinned at her.

Suddenly, it dawned on her. "You're joking." she frowned.

The man chuckled shaking his head. "He decided last night that sleeping in the room next to you wouldn't be enough. He wouldn't be able to tell if someone broke into your room. Took all my effort to get him to sleep there. Stubborn bastard."

"Where did he want to sleep?" Storm was almost afraid to hear the answer.

"On the floor, in your room." he smirked at her. "Then right outside your door. Convinced him you might trip on him and die."

"Wow. Um, thanks for talking him out of that."

"No problem. You should go before he wakes up. Freak 'im out." he grinned.

Storm laughed. "That is a fantastic idea. I'll see ya later Rude."

Storm took one last look at the sleeping Turk, and smiling to herself, got on the elevator.


Drew sighed, and threw his cigarette on the ground, crushing it with the tip of his foot, and walked to his motorcycle. He had been riding all night and was now on the outskirts of Junon. He planned to stop there, then hitch a ride to the Western Continent. The trick would be, getting into Junon without any of Sir's operatives finding him. His face had to have been sent all over the Eastern Continent by now. Hopefully however, he would be safe in Costa del Sol. As far as he knew, Sir didn't have many people there.

Drew pulled his kerchief up over his nose and climbed back on his bike, taking off towards Junon. He tried to stay in the outskirts as much as could making his way to the western edge of the city. If he didn't stop anywhere, he should be safe.

He kept a sharp eye out for a private airship. He finally noticed a large grey one near the beach. Drew slowed down and came to a stop near the entrance of the ship. The word Shera was written in in small letters on the side of the ship.

He climbed off his motorcycle and pulled the kerchief off his face.

"Hello?" he called.

A blonde man with goggles and a cigarette hanging from his mouth emerged from the ship.

"Can I help ya?" he asked.

"Are you heading to the Eastern Continent?" he asked the man.

"Sure am. Why?" he asked suspiciously.

"I need a ride."

The man jerked his thumb towards Junon. "Public airships are that way."

"I'll pay you 200 gil."

The man looked at him with his eyes narrowed. Drew held his breath praying the man would agree.

"Name's Cid, and this here's the Shera. Load yer bike up and we'll go."

Drew sighed in relief and handed the man 100 gil. "Half here and half when we get there." he told Cid.

"You got a name son?"

Drew looked at him and frowned. "No." he snapped.

"Alright alright. Relax. No need to bite my head off. Now load that damn bike up."


Reno groaned and and opened his eyes. He was on the floor. Why was he- Reno sat up quickly and looked over at Storm's door.

"She left already." Rude said from the kitchen table.

Reno jumped to his feet and glared at Rude. "Why didn't you wake me up yo?"

Rude raised his eyebrow.

"Oh! Damn! Don't tell her I said that."

Rude shook his head and got up to get more coffee. "She tripped over you on her way out. Had a good laugh at you hugging your pillow. Snapped a picture."

Reno's eyes got wide. "You're lying."

The older Turk smiled. "About the picture yeah."

"Where'd she go?" the redhead demanded.

"Meeting with Rufus."

Reno practically ran to the elevator.

"It was supposed to be a private meeting." Rude called after Reno.

The bald Turk shook his head. Kid's out of control. He thought.


"No. It's none of your business." Storm glared at Rufus.

"You are my in my employ and you were attacked." Rufus told her calmly. "I need to know if who attacked you is an immediate threat to my company or the planet."

"It was a personal matter."

"Storm, you-"

Just then Reno burst into the room, Elena behind him.

"I'm sorry sir," she said "I tried to stop him."

"It's fine." Rufus told her.

"Storm! Why didn't you wake me up?" he demanded.

"You looked like you and your pillow were pretty happy." Storm smirked.

Rufus cleared his throat. "Reno, please have a seat. Now Storm, let's not get distracted about what we were talking about."

Reno sat down in the white chair next to Storm.

"I told you, it's not important."

"Storm you need to tell us who is after you. I've asked around, and your mugshot has been in the hands of some shady people for the past Year and a half now."

"I'm pretty attractive." Storm responded. "They probably had it for those lonely nights."

"I'm getting tired of this." Rufus said impatiently.

Storm pursed her lips. "Fine."

Rufus leaned forward expectantly.

"I don't know his name. We just call him Sir. I've never seen his face either. He's always in a dark room. He's does all the dirty work for wealthy people. He started his operation about a year before the remnants came. He rounded up people during Deepground. Now he does odd jobs. Assassinations. Kidnappings. And he deals in drugs, weapons, and even..." Storm swallowed. "People."

Reno stared at Storm, his eyes wide. "Why is he after you?"

"I used to work for him. My brother, my two cousins and I were found by him, barely scraping by after the remnants. He took us in, and made us work for him. A year and a half ago, I just couldn't do it anymore. He's a monster. So I left. It humiliated him. He's after my cousin Drew now too. He left yesterday. My other cousin and my brother are too afraid to leave however."

Rufus leaned back in his chair, contemplating what he had just heard.

"Well then, it would seem we have only one option. We have to take him down."

Storm laughed. "That's impossible! His operation grows every day. He has operative everywhere! He-"

"Hey hey hey!" Reno said standing up, " Haven't you heard? NOTHING is impossible for the Turks!"

Storm sighed. "You people are crazy."

"Now, any idea where this cousin is?"
