Axel, Roxas, and Reno walked down the beach, after a long day of unpacking and planning what to do next. Roxas was troubled with the words that Axel had said earlier.

Flashback earlier that day

I walked into there hotel room to see Axel bent over a map and Reno standing over him. Reno noticed i was standing there and nudged Axel. Axel looked up at me and sighed. He stood up and walked to me.

"We have a problem with the law."

"What do you mean?"

"I want to go after sephiroth"

"and?"

"The law says that it is illegal to murder, or go after a mentally unstable man in pursuit to capture or harm."

"so what do we do?"

"i think im gonna do it anyways, im gonna track him down and rip his heart out"

Roxas stood there in shock. Axel hated the idea of murder and had a lot of respect for the law. He look at him

"What? Axel what are you talking about! We can't just go around breaking the law!"

"i know. But we have to. he is coming after us and will kill anyone who gets in his way."

Roxas sighed. He new Axel was right, but he did not like it.

"ok Axel. but we have to be careful"

Axel ran up to him and grasped him in a big bear hug.

end of flashback

Now they were walking on the beach. They had decided to take a few days to relax before going on their Sephiroth hunt. Roxas did not like this idea, but if Axel thought is was a good idea, then it was good enough for him. They stopped along the beach and look out at the sea. Reno sighed.

"It would be good to free again."

Axel turned to him

"Reno, they don't continue to search for someone for 5 years for shopfitting. What the hell did you do shoot someone?"

Reno sighed

"i can't tell you"

"what!? im your brother damn it! now tell me!"

"i shot 5 police officers and 2 kids."

Roxas gasped and Axel fell backwards. Roxas managed to get these words out.

"w-w-why? you-you shoot them?"

Reno nodded

"i was broke and needed money. i was in the drug dealing business."

Axel walked up to him and punched him across the face.

"how could you put Roxas and me in this danger! what are you thinking?!"

Reno balled his hands up into fists.

"Face the facts Axel! our family is made up of outlaws! dad, mom, even grandma! You need to let go of this stupid respect you have of the law! you have to break it to save your dear Roxas over there!"

Roxas decided to step in.

"Axel i don't like it either, but we need him to get to Sephiroth."

Axel sighed

"ok, if it makes you happy I'll put up with it."

Reno smiled and clapped his hands together.

"great! now what do you say to a nice sea salt ice-cream before bed?"

Roxas nodded as they headed out to the ice-cream parlor, but just before that Reno's phone rang. He talked for a min. or two before hanging up, but just before that Axel could swear he heard Reno say "I've got them"
