Barret, return.

"But master, I can kill them..."

Now Barret.

"Yes, as you wish."

"Hey, we gonna do this or not?" Reno asked Barret, resting his nightstick against his shoulder.

"We will... Another time."

"You're running? Wow, some all-powerful angel you are." Reno said with a grin.

Barret snarled, and then with a flash of green light, disappeared.

"What the fuck just happened?" Reno asked himself.

"He's gone... That's good, I guess..." Boaz said, shocked.

"Haha, probably scared," Reno said with a grin.

"What are you, stupid!? Oh, well that's self-explanatory isn't it...?" Ryo remarked.

Reno sighed. "Were alive, the angel's gone... Lighten up!"

"That angel has killed many people, and it could have killed us... Why did it just leave...?" Ryo asked himself out loud.

"We'll worry about that later, lets just relax and get a drink ok?" Reno said, about to walk out the door.

Before Reno could open the door, Boaz grabbed Reno by the back of his neck and shoved him in a seat. "First, you're going to tell me why you and Ryo were ready to kill each other."

"Fine, but if you grab me like that ever again, I'll fucking kill you, got it?" Reno asked in a very serious voice. "Ryo was an assassin for Wu-Tai."

"Is that true... Ryo?" Boaz asked, stunned.

"Yeah... It is." Ryo admitted.

"But that's not the worst part is it, Ryo?" Reno asked with obvious anger in his voice.

"What's he talking about Ryo?" Boaz asked, looking Ryo in the eyes.

"Nothing. Its nothing..." Ryo said, unable to take his eyes off his feet.

Silence hung in the room; none of the three men said a word. The silence was broken however when the door opened. Elmyra entered the room followed by four other people. Two men and two women. One of the women got Reno's attention very quickly. She had short blond hair pulled into a little ponytail, blue eyes, and was around 5'5.

The other woman was a little taller, had long black hair and brown eyes. She looks like the angel Tifa, only less evil. Reno thought to himself.

The guy standing behind Elmyra had messy short brown hair, hazel eyes and looked about 5'8. The other guy has almost silver hair that hung in his face. His eyes were a strange pale colour and he was about 5'10 and was very thin and almost feminine looking.

"Reno, you came." Elmyra smiled. "I want you to meet Tangia." Elmyra raised her hand in the brown haired boys direction. "This is our info man and fighter, Mike."

"Hey." Mike said, waving slightly at Reno.

"This here is Reena." Elmyra looked at the brown haired girl. Reena just nodded towards Reno.

Elmyra looked over to the silver-haired man, "This is Kaili, out materia expert." Kaili gave the impression of shrugging, and then after Elmyra glared at him, he kinda waved.

"And this;" Elmyra looked at the blond girl, "is Jenna, out navigator and pilot." Jenna smiled and waved at Reno, who was unable to take his eyes off her.

Damn, she's hot! Reno thought. "Hey people." Reno said casually as he waved two fingers, like a cross between a wave and a salute. Everyone said their greeting, then all left, leaving Reno and Elmyra alone.

"So Reno... have you thought of joining us?" Elmyra asked, looking into Reno's blue eyes that for a second reminded her of Cloud's eyes. Back when he was a good guy, and the bodyguard of Aeris....

"Yeah, I'll help out till I find Rude and Elena. Then you're on your own." Reno said, turning away to walk out the door.

"Thank you, Reno." Elmyra said softly. Reno stopped for a second, then ignored it and walked out.

Reno quietly walked the streets of Midgar. Each step echoed through the night as he walked. Reno's first thought was to go to the bar and get wasted, but strangely he didn't feel like drinking tonight.

Where the hell are you guys!?

Reno's thoughts were with Rude and Elena. He hoped they weren't dead. As a Turk, Reno was told not to let his feelings effect his work. But he was no longer a Turk, and Rude and Elena were his only friends...

God man, get a hold of yourself!

The voice in Reno's head snapped him out of his trance-like walking. Reno looked around. He saw a few people walk past, most looked like they were in a hurry to get home. Others looked so drunk Reno could hardly believe they were walking.

Reno sighed. He should have been in a bar with Rude and Elena, getting drunk and acting like an idiot. Rude should have been trying to help him stand and Elena should have been laughing like crazy.

I will find you guys, I know your alive out there somewhere...

To be continued...

Authors notes: Cool, I'm done with that chapter. I'm sorry this gets updated so slowly, but I am very busy. Umm, the next chapter should have some action in it. And 'maybe' some info on why Reno and Ryo know each other. Well, until then please review my story and tell me what you think! Bye!
