Chapter 13

At around 11pm Barret along with Vincent and the rest of his friends were all well equipped and ready to sneak inside the Shinra building.

"So were is he?" "I suppose he's in the upper level.we'll find someone and use him to go up," said Vincent. Barret was nervous and shook his head around, you never know!

As they entered they reached for a back door and immediately pointed a gun at one of the workers who easily spitted out the way to go up.which wasn't easy so it was real waist of time tying him up. Barret and Avalanche had some experience and they would get behind closed doors by going up the air system or by using the latest for electronic doors. The surveillance got heavier by floor and time was passing by too fast.
The day before.

Rufus arrived as fast as he had promised. Tseng and the blonde girl was with him, but that was about it. Cloud spotted him from the window and took his own precautions slipping a small gun into the back.

The butler opened up and showed them the way to the living room. Cloud came down immediately with a worried face.

"Rufus! Finally!" he greeted him. "Spare me Strife! Let's move fast.where did they go?" he demanded mostly annoyed. "I don't know.they could be anywhere!" "Don't take an escape so lightly, one thing they need for sure now is a safe place were to stay. Any friend they might have?" "I.I don't know! I merely know Vincent.Tifa doesn't.only old lost friends in Midgar." Rufus turned away facing the blonde girl who was reading something. "Helena!" "Y-yes sir?" "Call the boys and tell 'em to head to Midgar. Free some undercover people to look for them and keep me well informed!" "O-ofcourse" she quickly got up and bowed slightly moving away to use her mobile. Rufus attention turned back to Cloud. "See how things have to be done Strife? That's why I'm were I am and you're were you are." "." he merely looked at him seriously. Tseng moved forward. "Shall we proceed?" "Certainly.tie him up" "Wha.?!" he was ready for this and pulled put his gun, but of course, also Tseng was ready for this and he had quickly kicked his gun from his hand. Rufus punched him hard down while Tseng took out some ropes. "Ungh!" Cloud moaned. ".and two mice left!"
Next day in the morning.

".sure thing boss" he put the receiver down with a smile on his face. "Hey Rude! Now what?" Reno was on the couch eating chips. "As you predicted.he's faxing us a note to send to the guy at the bar" Then the fax machine started pulling out the note. Reno stood up and grabbed it violently from Rude's hands. "Uhhh.scary." he laughed. "Stop fooling around, let's go. This thing is to be settled before tonight"
Back to 11pm.

As the closing time approached several people were moving around opening and closing doors. They kept together.as much as it was possible. Then Vincent saw something he had expected all day long.someone important to kidnap.the blonde girl he had met. She was close to Rufus.just how close? He didn't think twice and made sign to Barret to get her.

She was reading some papers and wasn't looking were she was going. Vincent put a hand in her mouth and pulled her in a dark angle. She startled and shook but Barret and the others made sure she'd stay still. "We won't hurt you.just tell me where's Rufus" Vincent asked her. "I-I don't know.he should be home by now." she seemed sincere but Vincent though that any Shinra employee didn't deserve trust. "Seems we found our exchange deal." added Barret. "Let's hope so."

They tied her wrists and mouth. The boys split in front and behind her. The way down might have been worse.but it wasn't. One of Barret's boys had some ropes with hooks in the end. They found a window and started going down.Helena was untied but not her mouth and was obliged to slide down.

Unfortunately there were several windows below and they were easily spotted and reported. The slide became faster.once Helena was down Barret and Vincent slid together with no precaution.

The guards came outside and started pointing guns. "Take 'em out guys!" Jesse yelled at the others. It wasn't long before Barret joined in and started shooting. Vincent pulled it out but he was using it against Helena so she wouldn't take any chances but she just kneed in panic.

Cloud was closed inside a cell inside the Shinra building. He heard some noises outside and immediately stood up. "What the hell is going on out there?" He heard people running around and screaming. "Terrorists tried to bust in!" "Help!" "The have Helena!" Cloud became nervous and hit the door several times in every possible way. "DAMN IT!" Then he had an idea. "HELP! THE TERRORISTS LOCKED ME UP IN HERE!" he yelled it more than once but nobody listened.or so it seemed. A man heard him and the situation made Cloud's lie credible. "W-who are you?" Cloud bit his upper lip. "I.I'm Rufus accountant.release me" he didn't believe himself. ".I don't have a key.hold on!" he ran off. Cloud had almost lost hope when then heard him come back and the opened up. "Ok.let's go now." Cloud hit him fast on his stomach making the small guy fall down and faint. He looked for any weapon but it was useless. He ran to a room filled with Shinra guards uniform. "Piece of cake!" and dressed up.

I'm kind of confused but I hope this sort of action is appreciated! REVIEWWW!!!!
