Chapter 14

"Tseng!" Elena yelled as she ran into her coworker's office. The wutain groaned a little as he looked up from his work. "Yes Elena?" he asked, trying to be calm. She sat at the chair in front of him and looked him straight in the eye. "Why did you fire Reno?" she asked, in a professional tone. The black haired man sighed and shook his head. He knew this would happen. "I didn't fire him…He quit." he replied.

"He….What?" Elena couldn't believe her ears. Reno couldn't have quit, he told her himself that all he had was the Turks. He said, even if he hated Tseng, that the Turks were like his family. He would never quit the Turks, ever. He had everyone's back and they had his. Why would he give that up?

"Yup…He quit" Tseng repeated. She could see a small smile on his face. The blondes eyes narrowed and she said "What did you say to him? I know Reno wouldn't have just quit without a very good reason." Tseng looked her in the eye and shook his head. "All I said was that he didn't do so well on the Turk training." he said. The younger Turk shook her head, she could see the lie in his eyes, "You said more, I know it."

"The conversation between Reno and I is strictly confidential. You do not need to know what was said." He replied, with a cold stare. Elena took a deep breathe and looked at him for the longest time. "Trust me Tseng, it matters what you said to him. You don't know what has happened to him, so you might not have known how much you hurt him." she said. She suddenly realized Rude had said almost the same thing to her.

"Elena, stop trying to make excuses for him. It can't be helped if he doesn't want to be a Turk anymore." He said as he started doing his work again. But Elena wasn't finished with this conversation and she wasn't about to let him stop it. "He does want to be a Turk. You just always…criticizing him, a person can only take so much Tseng." she replied calmly. The older Turk looked up at her and shook his head. "If he did-"

"I know he doesn't do his paperwork and arrives late and doesn't act professional but he is one of the best Turks we have. You said it yourself." she interrupted him. Tseng sighed and shook his head. "Elena, he can be replaced, you know that." He replied, shaking his head. Elena had to think of something, she was running out of ideas to save the redhead's job.

"I understand that but…No one can replace Reno…Sure he was annoying and sarcastic and a smart ass but that's what made him a good Turk. And he was always there for us. I know it didn't seem like it but he took his job seriously…If you let him leave, who knows what'll happen? Come on Tseng…I know your not that heartless. Just give him one more chance…" Elena pleaded. The older Turk looked at her and sighed.

What could he say, she was right. The redhead didn't do his work on-time or in his office but he did get it done, he also risked his life for the other Turks numerous times. Tseng nodded, admitting defeat. "If you can convince him to come back, I'll hire him." he said as he went back to his work. Elena nodded and jumped up. "Thank you sir!" She said, as she ran out to tell Rude.

Reno sighed as he lied on his couch and stared at the ceiling. He was still steamed from the conversation he and Tseng had had a couple hours before. "Damn good-for-nothing wutain dot-boy." He mumbled to himself angrily, as if Tseng would suddenly drop dead after the words were said. He usually could take his coworker's insults but this time he went too far. He turned over and shut his eyes, trying not to think about it, but the words continued to play in his head.

You're a bastard to everyone, and you never do a damn thing that will make me think otherwise! The redhead flinched as Tseng's voice ran through his head. "I have tried to Tseng…You just refuse to see it. You want me to act like an immature bastard so you have someone to yell at…" he mumbled punching the pillow a little. You tried to kill yourself by taking drugs! Reno growled at this and punched the pillow again. "How the hell did you find out about that? I bet you Elena told you…" he growled.

Elena…Reno stared at the side of his couch as his thoughts went to her. What was going to happen to her if he left for good? She'll probably jump for joy or something. I know she'd never like me he thought to himself. He gave a long heavy sigh. "Damn it blondie…look what your making me do…I'm regretting leaving the Turks now."

He sighed and shook his head. "Rude was right…I should have told her when I had the chance. Now I can never tell her cause Tseng is never going to give me my job back…Well…I guess as long as she's happy, even if she's with someone else." He said under his breath. He shut his eyes and put his hands behind his head. Before he could fall asleep, his phone went off. He ignored it, seeing as it was probably someone he didn't want to talk to.

The answer machine picked up and Reno could hear Rude's voice "Reno pick up the phone, I know your there…" there was a pause as Reno didn't move. He didn't want to talk about what happened today with Rude yet. He thought if he didn't answer, his old partner would hang up. "Reno…come on. I know you got fired today and you're at home." Rude continued, but the redhead kept his spot.

"Fine…I just wanted to let you know Elena has convinced Tseng to let you have your job back. When I asked her why, she said because work wouldn't be the same without you…She sounded depressed Reno. I know you don't want to accept it but she does like you and I know you like her. If you don't get back to work and tell her, you might loose her. Listen, I have to go, so call me later or something. Bye man."

Reno heard the click sound that meant he hung up. The redhead sighed and shook his head. "Sorry Rude but I just can't go back to work…Maybe Tseng was right…If I can't even tell the girl I love my feelings, then I should just forget about being a Turk. I'm sorry Rude…Ryu……Elena" he said as he slowly fell asleep on his couch.

Aw...Reno sounds emo...Wonder whats gonna happen? Oh! I forgot to tell you, i might not post chapter 15 in a while cuz i'm going camping! Dont kill me!SO please R&R and i'll see ya next time! Peace out!
