Disasters

Chapter 8: The Planning Continues...

Tseng happened to be waiting for Rufus at the elevator door when they came back. He had seen the car pull up into the garage and walked to the elevator. The door opened, Rufus stepped out first, fallowed by Elena and his jaw almost dropped when Reno fallowed Rude.

"Hey Tseng, you look pale, yo." Reno stated walking down to his office.

"That's sir to you, Reno." Tseng snapped, fallowing the motley crew down the hall. He rolled his eyes. Nothing had changed in Tseng since Reno left, or so he thought. Tseng stopped Reno before he could step inside his office.

"Though I am glad to see you back." He said sincerely, patting Reno on the back before heading to his office. Reno blinked.

"Whatever, yo..." He closed his office door behind him and laid out the plans on his desk. Reno realized he couldn't really do much without the blueprints to the Shinra building, so he ended up rolling his plans up again and placing them back inside the tube.

"Best wait until tomorrow..."

Reno spun around in his office chair. The room felt empty now. He noticed his EMR sitting in the umbrella rack, when his office phone rang.

"Reno, yo..."

"Bring the plans to my office. I found a way to get the blueprints before tomorrow." Rufus said over the line, then hung up. Reno jumped up, grabbing the tube and his EMR before heading up to Rufus' floor. He was careful to avoid eye contact with everyone, as he made his way to Rufus' office and quickly closed the door behind him when he spotted Reeve.

"So close, yo..." Reno mumbled, rolling his eyes then spotted the blueprints. Elena, Rude and Tseng sat together in the break room, having lunch. They were alone, which was lucky and Scarlet had managed to keep clear of them all week.

"So, let me get this straight... Reno is working with President Shinra to chuck Scarlet?!" Tseng asked the 2 in a low tone, still not believing what he heard. Elena took a bite of her sandwich, nodding.

"Rufus Shinra... and Reno... working together?!" Tseng asked again with his eyebrows raised in disbelief.

"Yes, sir. The president was at the end of his rope. Reno was the last person he wanted to turn to. We know how Scarlet is." Rude spoke in cryptic sentence, but Tseng understood.

"Desperation?" The Turk commander questioned Rude. Elena shrugged, obviously into her sandwich. Rude gave a stiff nod.

"We've seen president Shinra's change when he suspended Reno. None the less, Reeve told us the truth to the root of his frustration." The stoic Turk responded. Tseng nodded, leaning on his elbows and tore a piece of his sandwich.

"So it is..."

"I was thinking of placing the bomb on the 63rd floor..." Reno said pointing his EMR at the blue prints. Rufus' gaze narrowed.

"How much time are you giving yourself to get out? And what if Scarlet discovers you?" He asked calmly, but keeping his tone iced over. Reno sighed heavily, looking down to the desk.

"Good point... I couldn't place the bomb at the top of the building though, that would be stupid."

"Maybe if we place the bomb on the same floor as the cannon controls, then that would give you enough time to evacuate on the top floor. I'll have Tseng and Rude on the radio to have a chopper ready for you."

"And Elena?" Reno asked marking the 72nd floor with an 'x'.

"Elena is quick, agile and tricky. I have another job for her." Was Rufus' response. Reno nodded.

"What about Heidegger, yo?" Rufus smirked.

"I'll take care of Heidegger myself, don't worry about it. Now go. We'll work more on this later. You're excused." Reno rolled up the plans and placed them in its proper place, then walked out of Rufus' office. Reno headed back to his office, hid the plans, then went down to the lounge where Tseng, Rude and Elena were sitting in a back corner.

"Hey Reno. Any development?" Rude asked, watching Reno take a seat.

"We're planting it on the 72nd floor. Rufus won't let me plant it on the 63rd because I might not get out in time or Scarlet would discover me."

"Good to know." Rude responded as Tseng gave them a curious look.

"Planting what?"

"A Mako bomb Rude created a few years back. They want to use it on Scarlet." Elena explained taking a sip of her iced tea.

"So it's more of an assassination plot, instead of a prank." Tseng pointed out. Elena nodded.

"That's the idea, yo. Rufus wants her out of there." Reno said, lacing his fingers together and cradling the back of his head.

"What about Heidegger? He's just as bad as Scarlet." Tseng stated dryly.

"I have a feeling you'll be getting a new position, yo..." Elena leaned forward to look at Reno more closely with a quizzical look. Tseng was also confused somewhat by Reno's statement, before a gunshot sounded. Judging from the sound, it was Rufus' double barrel shot gun. Reno smirked.

"See? What'd I tell ya?"
