R&R longer note at the end
Jessie finished her snack tossing the wrapper into a nearby bin as she looked over at her two squad members, checking her watch as she sighed. It had been two days since they had visited Sector Seven, she smirked a little remembering her fight with the black haired woman at the bar.
"I think we should head back there today" Jessie said finally to the others hopping off the bench she was sat on. The two men with her smirked as they nodded their agreement finishing up their drinks, they followed behind her ready to complete the mission.

Tifa walked back toward her bar slowly still feeling the effects of her fight with the woman calling herself Jessie from two days ago. Vincent walked with her making sure she was ok, the residents smiled and waved as Tifa passed by all of them concerned.
As they rounded the corner to the bar Tifa stopped walking as shock took over her, she looked at the charred remains of her business. The large sign that hung above the door was now laying on the ground broken, sighing she turned away not wanting to see it any more.
Heading up an alleyway toward her apartment building she hid her frustration of losing her business, her pride already dented after losing a fight to that insufferable woman. Vincent stood outside as Tifa entered her room, as he waited he heard the sounds of heavy footsteps coming up the metal stairs, as the sound got closer Vincent looked around to see a worn out Wymer panting.
"Those three are back" He said trying to regain his breath, Vincent looked at him concerned as Tifa popped her head out hearing what was said.
"They said a week" Tifa said holding what appeared to be a backpack.
"Don't worry, we'll get you out of here. I have a friend waiting on the outskirts of town waiting to get you two out of here" Wymer said smiling at Tifa "You know the rules we have to look out for our own down here". Tifa smiled gently hugging her friend feeling a little sad about leaving them behind, she looked to Vincent as he nodded ready to go.

Jessie stood smirking at her handy work, the remains of the burned down bar she looked around as the residents watched in anger and fear. The two men flanked her scanning the crowd for signs of the two they wanted, smirking a little seeing someone who seemed brave enough to approach.
Out of the crowd walking in their direction was a tall man with shoulder length black hair and beard, he was flanked by two others, the one on the left had messy long red hair, the other was taller, his head cleanly shaven with sunglasses on all wearing suits.
Jessie turned on her heel a small smirk on her lips as the three new comers stopped, they weren't who she was looking for but they would serve as a good way to kill some time.
"Greetings" The man in the middle spoke up in a soft tone. He smiled as he looked all three of them over, knowing he would not be enough to beat them in a fight but that wasn't his mission. His mission was to keep them busy while the others could escape, Wymer had entrusted this job to them and they were going to manage it one way or another.
"You seemed to have made a very interesting first impression on the rest of the residents here" the man continued "Perhaps we could start over. What do you say?" Jessie chuckled a little as she walked over to him, she offered him her hand in a friendly gesture.
"Fine, since you seem to want to start over and make this a working relationship" Jessie said grinning as she looked the man in the eyes "Hand over the girl and the man we are looking for peacefully and we'll leave".
"I don't think that will happen" The man said smiling back "How about another deal?"
"You have ten minutes to produce them or we'll burn this whole dumpster you call home down" Jessie said loud enough for everyone to hear, no one moved all eyes were locked on the intruders and the three who had taken up the challenge.
"It seems we are on two different pages then" The man said turning away "I guess violence is all you people know. You're up boys" The two men with him smirked as the red head gripped the handle of his metal baton the other fixing his gloves, Jessie smirked back as she walked back to her squad.
"Biggs, Wedge" Jessie said to them both "Make it quick".

Tifa and Vincent followed Wymer through the back alleyways headed for the escape route that had been set up, Tifa's ears perked up as she heard the sounds of a fight in the distance, she hated this sneaking around she wanted to join in, defend her home, regain her pride. She felt a hand gently grasp her shoulder turning to see Vincent slowly shaking his head, looking into his eyes Tifa could see he felt the same way.
"Live to fight another day" Wymer said looking back at them. Tifa looked and nodded as they continued, reaching the junkyard at the outskirts of town a large cloth covered wagon came into view with a tall man stood next to it smoking a cigarette. He looked over at them as they approached, his face was gruff looking, his blonde hair a little untidy barely held back behind his brown goggles.
"What kept ye?" He said his voice had an accent to it Tifa didn't recognise, who was this man?
"Sorry" Wymer said smiling as he nervously scratched his head approaching the man shaking his hand as he slipped him some gil "I appreciate this Cid".
"Whatever" The man named Cid said before turning his attention to Vincent and Tifa "Hop in the back and stay quiet". Cid pulled the cloth back as they entered, before he closed it Tifa took one last look at the Sector Seven slums. Her home, her friends, her livelihood, as the cloth slowly fluttered back covering her view one thought came to her mind.
Would she ever see it all again?
Enter everyone's favourite angry old man Cid Highwind. Of course Cid would make an appearance I couldn't not and of course changing the time line once more as enemies become allies, I didn't use their names but I'm sure with the description given people will be able to work out who they are
However our two heroes are escaping and I wonder where they will end up next?
Well I guess we can find out in the next chapter. See you then
