The mayor was getting into his limo when someone else hurriedly got in as well, slamming the door shut.
"Who the hell do you think you ar…Tseng! What do you think you're doing?" The mayor asked, then told the chauffeur to drive home.
"The girl's on the loose, but she doesn't remember anything." Tseng explained.
"So it's a mixed bag, but I believe I told you that if anything went wrong, it was on your head."
"I know. I just wanted you to know what was going on, Rufus. I've made sure she won't become a problem."
"She already is, isn't she?" Rufus remarked.
"What can I say, I never could resist a blonde." Tseng replied.
"I remember…" Rufus said, a wicked gleam appearing in his eyes as he pulled Tseng to him.
Elena didn't want to wake up just yet. Being in Reno's arms was as perfect as she thought it'd be, even if it was platonic. This was the best a drugged out whore like her could expect. If she admitted she was awake, he'd let her go.
"Time for breakfast, sleepyhead." Reno said, stroking her hair.
Elena scrunched her eyes shut tight in denial. Reno smiled sadly at her reaction. She was acting more like the Elena he used to know, but he had to remind himself that this Elena was different, and that according to the doctor, she had been savagely raped. He needed to find out who had done that to her, and they would learn all about savagery and subjugation in prison.
"Seriously, we need to eat and then get out of here. It's not safe for you anywhere in town." Reno let her go and got out of bed, heading for the kitchen.
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and Elena saw Reno's body fly through the air, collapsing in a pile near his dresser.
"Reno!" Elena cried out, running over to him. Masked armed men swarmed in the busted door.
After she made sure he was still alive, she hurriedly grabbed the gun in the ankle holster he had showed her last night, shoving it in the pocket of her jacket facing away from them. One of the men grabbed her by her throat and pulled her up.
"Boss has been looking for you."
A persistent noise annoyed Reno. He didn't want to wake up yet, he felt like crap, he needed more rest. Eventually the fogginess in his head went away and he remembered what happened and he shot up, hitting his head on the dresser, making things worse. He cursed as he realized the noise was his cellphone. He pulled it out of his pocket.
"Hello?" Reno crankily answered his phone.
"I got some more info from that Tifa chick." Rude said. "I know where Elena's boss can be found."
"Gimme the address and I'll take care of it." Reno said.
"She hasn't told me yet." Rude admitted as Tifa ran her hands over his body while she nibbled at his neck. "Down girl, I'm on the phone now."
"What?" Reno asked.
"Uh, nothing." Rude said as Tifa moved her lips to his penis. "That's not what I meant, Tifa! Um, I'll meet you at your place when I've got the info." Rude hung up.
Reno stared at his cellphone, wondering why Rude sounded so strained as he hung up.
Rude tossed his phone onto the pile of his clothes. He knew why Tifa got into prostitution, the girl was a damned nympho, and she wanted to enjoy her work. Two hours later, he was at Reno's apartment.
"What the hell happened here?" Rude asked.
"They broke in and kidnapped Elena. We've got to find her, and fast." Reno said.
"I got the address." Rude waved a piece of paper around.
"Is that purple lipstick on it?" Reno asked.
"Uh, maybe." Rude hurriedly shoved the paper back in his pocket. "You ready to go?"
"Just a sec." Reno poured himself a glass of water and downed two painkillers with it. His headache did not want to go away. "Now we can go."
