'Come on we have to go now!' Zack informed sweaping Sydney up into his arms quickly, knowing that if they had to run there was no-way she could keep up with him.

'Wait my phone I need to call Molly she doesn't know it's not safe to come back here.' Bending down to search for her phone Sam's blood suddenly ran cold at the sound of Rufus' moans.

'He's, he's waking up.' She whispered deciding to forget the phone, for this first time in her life Sam was actually happy to have Vincent Valentine around as long as Molly was ither moaping around after him or 'making up' with him it meant that she was safe he'd never let anything happen to her sister.

Turning on her heels she followed Zack who was still carrying Sydney out into the corridor her eyes widening at the sight, which greated them. Shinra, the end of the corridor was crawling with Shinra guards.

'Any ideas?' Zack asked quickly, searching for an escape root.

'Stairs the fire escape!' Sam pointed to the silver door, which sat directly opposite them unless she had pointed it out none of them would have noticed it.

'Go!' He cried just as the Shinra guards' fixed their guns aims on the trio dashing though the door it slammed behind them. Frowning hard Zack set Sydney back onto her feet as he searched for a way of locking it.

'Leave it there's no time we need to get to the Highwind III.'

'You can drive that thing you think?' Raising her hands to her hips Sam fixed him with a stare.

'Is that some kind of a joke.' She frowned she might not have had the same level of skill as her Father or her sister but Sam had grown up around airships all her life she'd picked up a thing or too about them along the way.

'Look!' Sydney suddenly screamed breaking up the moment, which pased between Zack and Sam. Moving closer to the blonde teenager Zack glanced over the bannister down the many flights of grey concrete stairs, his eyes widened at the sight of more guards. They were cornered.

'Up we have to go up!' Sam motioned tugging on his sleeve.

The rattle of the door behind him snapped Zack into action, nodding hard at her he grabbed Sydney's hand and pulled her up the stairwell. Pausing for a moment Sam reached out grabbing the hilt of his sword, which sat snuggly on the sheath on his back pulling it out she spun around smashing the camera that followed them slicing it into.

'Hey you're pretty good with that.' He grinned forgetting for one second that they were being chased.

'See there's alot you don't know about me Zack Strife.' She grinned handing him back his sword.

'Well I hope I get a chance to find out Miss Highwind.' Sam desperatly wanted to kiss him again but there wasn't anytime the rest of the world threatened to flood in on them.

'The cameras they'll be following us with them we need to get rid of them as we go.' Talking as they ran Zack struggled to think.

'They'll still be able to find us the cameras we take out will lead them to our location.'

'I've got an idea about that.'

'Professor Hojo I was sent down here...' Reno's words suddenly died in his throat at the sight, which greeted him.

'Renooo.' He managed to take his eyes off Molly long enough to acknowledge the voice, which called out his name.

'Saffy!' He frowned darting across the lab to where the girl lay.

'Reno.' She whispered clutching at her chest he could see the blood it was obvious that she'd been shot.

'Help me up.' Saffy motioned grinding her teeth as she fought through the pain to sit up.

'No just try to lie still.' Reno ordered but she fought him off leaning against the cold firmness of the operating tables' leg behind her.

'It's not bad it hurts like hell though, the bullet bounced of my ribs.'

'Jeez Saf you must have more lives than a cat.' Glancing at him the irony of his statement didn't go un-missed by ither of them. Reaching down Reno as gently as he could lifted Saffy up onto her feet, clutching at her ribs she winched in pain.

'You know you're kinda cute when you're valurable.' Reno informed with a sly smirk, watching as the look of distaste past over her features.

'I changed my mind leave me here to die.' Chuckling he wrapped her arm around his neck angling her body against his as they made they're way towards the exit.

'I'm only joking you're my bestfriend's girlfriend you're out of bounds even I'm not that low, besides I said you were cute cute isn't my thing.' The dicussion taking her mind off her pain Saffy grinned weakly.

'Oh but Aeris Strife is I saw the way you looked at her and the way she looked at you.'

Reno shook of her coments he knew what she was trying to do and he wasn't about to rise to her taunting.

'What about her?' He questioned glancing over at Molly.

'She's dead.' Saffy answered simply they both swollwed hard at that statement.

'Come on we need to get you up stairs, get you cleaned up.'

'You're taking me upstairs to the Turks office, but I thought you said I wasn't allowed to go up there anymore.' Reno grinned.

'I changed my mind.'
