Chapter 29 – Dry Ice
Elena hung up the phone for the fifth time and sighed.
"Still nothing?" Tseng asked.
The blonde shook her head. She had been trying to get hold of Reno, because for some reason, no one had actually seen him since the day he won the bet. Tseng had been about to phone him, but Elena figured that he definitely wouldn't talk to Tseng. Actually she was started to get a little irritated. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had been looking forward to her date, and was slightly annoyed that it wasn't happening. The redhead had rarely left her thought lately; could it be that he had finally wormed his way into her?
Decided to try one more time, she pressed the re-dial button on her cell and put it to her ear.
"Yeah?" came an unexpected, slightly strange sounding reply.
"Reno?" Elena said loudly down the phone. "Where the hell are you?"
"Your mom."
"Very funny…" Elena said, rolling her eyes. "You have to come into work. You haven't shown up for four days."
"Ahh… the Shin-Ra Electric Power Company…" Reno said. Elena couldn't see him, but she just knew he was smirking. "Without them, we'd all be watching television by candlelight. See ya 'Laney."
"Reno-" the dial tone sounded. "Damn it." She said hanging up.
"What?" Tseng asked.
"I don't think he's gonna come in…"
"Right…" Tseng threw Elena her jacket. "If he's not going to be a mature adult, we'll have to go see him…"
Authors Note: D This is actually the start of the new sequel to The Reno Diet, called Dry Ice. I've put info about it on my profile. Just thought I'd put this little taster so anyone that really enjoyed the Reno Diet doesn't miss out.
I have a challenge; the Reno Diet was my most successful story, having 237 reviews... I need to beat that in this next story. Keep a look out for it (I'll be starting properly after I've finished writing Recruitment.) It's a whole new story in the humor section.
Thanks a lot guys for your encouraging reviews
