A/N: Hello all! I know I promised a faster update than this, but my boyfriend came back from vacation sick, and because he is the eqivalent of plague when it comes to my immune system, I've been violently sick for the past couple of days. Therefore, alot of my projects have been put on a (small) holdbecause school is starting, and I need to get four papers written in the four days I have left. Anyway, my apoligies to you all and hopefully this, the sixth chapter of HOFH, and my co-authored fic will all be up and done by mid-September.

Entry #24: Good Night - Brownies

Reno waved at the informant as he exited her apartment quietly. Edge was a town where secrets were both hard to keep and hard to obtain, so meeting girls like her who could do both not only infinitely helped the slow rise of the New Shinra, but kept Reno very amused.

He shoved his curled fists into his pockets, whistling to himself as he made a mental note to pick up cigarettes. His iced green eyes surveyed the dark street warily; the city wasn't Midgar, but it was close enough. He re-checked his EMR; he had used it so much that it suffered a short outage and needed a repair. As he turned to remove it from his belt, his cell phone rang.

"Yo." He stated simply, flipping the phone casually up to his ear.

"Reno?" a feminine voice questioned, timid.

"Hey babe."

"Be on your guard; Edge is kinda dangerous at night." The woman warned nervously and Reno's mouth twitched in amusement at her concern.

"Because ten years as a Turk hasn't taught me to be careful in dark alleys already..." He replied sarcastically, shouldering the phone as he adjusted his nightstick's settings.

The girl squeaked indignantly.

"Yeah, well, you have a way of attracting trouble, old man."

Reno chuckled.

"I ain't old." He retorted, smacking his EMR against the wall because the switch was broken, "you're just young."

"Shut the hell up, Geezer. Here I am worrying about your safety and you repay my kindness by giving me nothing but shit. I just wanted to make sure that you were alive." The woman huffed back, both annoyed and entertained.

"I'm breathin' babe," Reno replied, smiling triumphantly when the electric current jumped to life, "if I show up alive next time, do I get a prize?"

"I hope you're talking about brownies, you perv, cause that's about all I'm willing to give you." she shot back, her voice wavering.

Reno smirked.

"That's too bad," he trailed off suggestively, motioning widely with his hands, "I'm more of a cookie man myself."

There was a loud "Ugh!" and the click of a dial tone and Reno knew that she had hung up on him. He grinned and flipped the phone shut, shoving it into his pockets.

"Night Yuffie." He called into the night air, shutting off the electric current and resuming his hunt for cigarettes.
