By the time they got to the city it was almost ten o'clock. They choose a spot to sit overlooking the intersection, and all they had to do was wait. After about ten minutes of just sitting there watching the cars go by, Riku was getting a restless.
"Man, I'm bored. How much time do we have until the kidnapping?" he asked, as he flew around a bit to stretch his wings and legs. Riku stopped and hovered a few feet in front of Cloud, looking at him when the other failed to answer.
Cloud just continued staring at the street below them. Riku flew closer to the blond and waved his hand in his face. "Hello? Earth to Cloud. Come in Cloud." He said mockingly.
"Huh?" Cloud blinked, looking dumbly at Riku, "did you say something?"
"Wow, man. You are the only guy I know who gets totally spaced out. What the hell do you think about all the time? Are you trying to figure out ways to pick up some hot chick?" Riku teased.
Cloud huffed at him and raised an eyebrow. "You know better than anyone that I don't swing that way, Riku. Unlike you." He added and stuck out his tongue playfully.
"Ya," Riku agreed, "I don't care what sex they are, as long as they're hot."
"Hm," Cloud responded, looking down to the busy street once again.
"Whoa there boy, before you go spacing out on me again, the girl Kairi, does she happen to have a last name or something we can use besides a just a first name?"
"Oh, right." Cloud said looking for the folder with the information on Kairi, "there's no last name, but there's a picture of her and a description of what she'll be wearing." He held the folder out for Riku to take.
Once Riku had it in his hands he opened it and scanned the page. There was a picture of a girl with short red hair and blue eyes. She looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. "Hey," he said staring at the picture, "this girl isn't that bad. Why is she going to get kidnapped anyway?"
"It says something about her having a stalker and this time he takes it too far. If we fail," Cloud paused in his explaining, to emphasis his next point by looking Riku in the eyes, "he'll rape and murder her."
"Whoa, he'll murder her too?" Riku repeated, "but if he's stalking her, then wouldn't he not want to harm her? Doesn't he love her or something?"
"Oh he does love her, it's just that she fights back. She's a tough little girl, but she's not strong enough. He doesn't mean to kill her, and then he commits suicide after."
"That's pretty messed up," Riku commented, and he spun around to get a better look at the street below him. "Let's just make sure that it doesn't happen."
"That's one thing we can agree on," Cloud chuckled.
"Hey, it says here," Riku said, pointing at a paragraph in the folder, "that we're to transform ourselves bigger for a while. Why haven't we done that yet?"
"Because Riku, the transformation would only last a couple of hours, and I have it all figured out. See, what we do is, we keep an eye out for her, and as soon as we find her then we transform, and spend as much time with her as possible, making her hard to track. Then we take her home, safe and sound. If we need too, I'll transform before you, so that if we need more time, you can look after her while I transform again and, then you can transform while I look after her."
"That makes sense," Riku said, thinking it over, "well, it also says here that she's going to be coming from the north, so why don't we meet her up there first?"
"If you flip the page Riku, you'll see that it says her stalker, Kratin, is going to be here waiting for her. We're going to meet up with her and convince her to go back North so he doesn't get a chance to even see her."
Riku did as he was told and flipped the page. He looked it over and saw what Cloud said was the best plan of action. "Cloud, that's impressive, who knew you were that smart?" he teased.
Cloud glared at his friend, but chose to ignore it, instead he continued on about what else they were going to do, and how they were going to act. Riku took his spot sitting beside Cloud and listen to the man fully explain every detail of his plan.
"Now all we have to do is wait," Cloud said, leaning back on his palms.
