Disclaimer: You should know it by now

Thanks to all my reviewers for reviewing! Many apologies for the late update and the short chapter, I wanted to leave a bit of a cliffhanger, but I am really stressed at the moment and in turn am suffering from mild writer's block.

The Turks were restless, they were sitting in Tseng's office, trying to formulate a plan. So far, they hadn't had a lot of luck. There were only three of them, and though they were worried about Shinra being left alone for so long, they put their trust in SOLDIER to keep the place well guarded. With a sigh, the group looked at the weapons in front of them, it should be enough to get the president and Reno out safely. There were some guns, grenades, and a lot of bullets, which was all they would need. Tseng turned to Rude, who got ready to receive his instructions.

"Rude, now we know where the hideout is, you are to be the bait. Knock and wait for the answer, keep Hunter distracted while Elena and I sneak in to hide in the shadows. Basically, your job is to be a distraction, after all, it is you he wants anyway. Any objections?" the Wutain asked, though he knew that Rude would not answer him back. Elena understood that she had to stay in the shadows and look for an opening, a time when Hunter's back was turned. That way, she could begin to fre her colleague and boss. The blonde hoped that the plan would succeed, or they could all end up captured.

--------------------------------------

"Argh, I am so bored! Look, Hunter, can't you give me something to do?!" Reno asked for what seemed like the 6000th time to the junkie. Hunter was getting impatient and Rufus was trying not to laugh. The furious junkie turned around to face the redhead, who had an annoying smirk plastered on his face.

"Can't you shut up for just five minutes?!" Hunter screamed, and was pleased when Reno suddenly fell silent.

Five minutes later

"Hunter, I'm bored!" Hunter narrowed his eyes, but then perked up when he got a bright idea. Grabbing a strip of cloth, he walked over to Reno and gagged him.

Why did I not think of that before? Hunter pondered to himself as he took a seat and continued to wait.

-----------------------------------

Elena, Rude, and Tseng had finally arrived at the hideout. They were hiding behind a dumpster and running over their plan one more time.

"You both sure of what to do?" he asked, and when they nodded, he sent Rude over to the warehouse door, and then walked off with Elena.

I hope this works, Tseng thought, but forced himself to remain calm as he watched the bald Turk knock on the door.

----------------------------------

Hunter was on the verge of falling asleep, but he jumped up from his chair excitedly when he heard a knock on the door. Opening it, and seeing Rude on the other side, Hunter let a wide smile beam onto his face.

"Hey there, bro! How you doin'?" he asked and waited for the reply. Hunter saw that Rude had walked right into his trap.
