After Cloud and Zack filled Tifa and Reno in on everything they now knew, they all sat down at the table to discuss it further. Marlene and Denzel had gone off to play in their room so they wouldn't interrupt them.

"We have to find Sephiroth." Cloud said.

"If I was Sephiroth, where would I go?" Zack thought aloud. "Hmm, probably to a modelling agency." He looked around at the others eagerly, wondering if he'd made a break through.

"And that's why you're not Sephiroth." Cloud mumbled, rolling his eyes.

"So... not even close?" Zack asked, pouting.

"Not even close." Cloud agreed.

"Come on, we need to think seriously about this." Tifa said, shooting an unimpressed look at Zack. He just gave a what-are-you-looking-at-me-for-? expression back.

"Didn't he ramble about 'mother' a lot, yo?" Reno asked.

"Yeah," Cloud muttered, nodding. "But I don't even understand what all that was about." He looked at Zack, hoping his friend would have a better idea of what the General could've been talking about.

"Well, he was talking to something at the reactor, but you saw more of that than I did." Zack answered Cloud's unspoken question.

"Yeah..." Cloud frowned in thought. "He kept calling it mother and took it with him when he fell of the platform."

"I wonder what-"

"Jenova!" Cloud said suddenly. "What do you know about Jenova?"

"Uh, she's..." Zack's eyes widened as he clued into what Cloud had figured out. "She's a monster that came to the planet a while ago and Sephiroth thought she was his mother! He thought he was a monster; that's what Genesis told him!"

"How does that bring us closer to finding Sephiroth?" Tifa asked.

Cloud shook his head, "I don't know. But at least we've found some more out about why Sephiroth got angry."

Rufus called Cissnei back into the room where he and Rude were, having thought of a mission for her to complete.

"I want you to call Reno." Rufus said, handing her a piece of paper with the red-head's number on it. "Pretend you haven't come to me, because if they find out they won't trust you."

"Yes, sir." Cissnei said.

"I want you to ask him what they've found out about Genesis and Sephiroth." Rufus shifted in his seat and winced slightly as one of his unhealed wounds were rubbed.

"I'll find out for you, sir." Cissnei said, pulling her PHS out of her pocket and typing the number in.

*

"Woah, one sec, yo." Reno interrupted the group, holding a hand up and pulling his phone out of his pocket. It was one of the latest models and he treasured it greatly. "Yo?"

"Reno, it's Cissnei. Did Zack find you?"

"Yeah, yeah he's right here!" Reno nodded, dropping his hand back down.

"Oh good." Reno heard her breathe a sigh of relief. "So you know what's going on?"

"Yeah. He told us." Reno said. "But we haven't figured out too much yet. We don't know where Sephiroth would've gone."

"Okay. Um, could you tell me when you have? I just feel so nervous about it all, seeing as Genesis came to me specifically. Reno, what if he comes to find me again?"

"Hey, relax yo." Reno said. "You're gonna be fine. I'll call you when-" he paused slightly and raised an eyebrow as Cloud connected something to the end of his phone, but kept talking as Cloud gestured for him to. "...when we find out more."

"Thanks, Reno."

"Don't worry about it." Reno shrugged. Cloud mouthed 'keep talking' so Reno rolled his eyes and tried to think of something to say. "Hey, is your hair still the length it always has been?"

"Um, yeah." Reno chuckled as he heard the slight confusion in her voice.

"Okay, just wondering. I'm a curious guy, yo!" Reno laughed loudly and then quietened down at Tifa's raised eyebrow.

"Just, don't forget to tell me when you've found something out." Cissnei repeated.

"Of course, I won't." Reno said, frowning slightly as to why she was this paranoid. She was an ex-turk wasn't she? Oh well.

Cloud held up a hand and slowly counted down with his fingers until he reached zero. He then nodded and gestured that Reno could hang up.

"Right, well I should probably go." Reno said.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later then." Cissnei replied.

"Yep, see ya!" Reno hung up and then instantly slammed his hands down on the tabled. "What the heck didja do?"

"I traced where she was calling from." Cloud said.

"Why?" Zack asked. "She's not one of the bad guys!"

"Anyone know this address?" Cloud passed the GPS tracking system he was holding around the small group and raised an eyebrow as Reno held onto it a bit longer than everyone else. "Where is she Reno?"

Reno looked up at Cloud and then sighed, shaking his head. "She's with Rufus."

*

"Excellent." Rufus said, thoroughly pleased that Cissnei had not lost her touch as a turk. "Now, there's one last important thing I need you to do for me."

"What is it, sir?"

"I need you to tell me, do you know where Genesis is?" Cissnei shook her head and Rufus narrowed his eyes. "He didn't tell you where to find him if you changed your mind?"

"Well..." Cissnei paused as a shiver ran down her spine. "He said he'd know if I changed my mind. He never told me where to find him."

"I see." Rufus sat in silence, pondering over this new information. He opened his mouth to say more but was interrupted as the door flung open and a figure dressed in red walked in briskly, kicking the door shut behind himself.

"Good, you've decided to bring all the turks together in order to help me." they stated firmly, coming over and only pausing when Rude appeared in front with his Electro-Mag Rod extended threateningly.

"Let him through, Rude." Rufus said. Rude glanced over his shoulder and then relaxed, stepping to the side.

"How kind of you." Genesis Rhapsodos said, smiling slightly. "I believe you understand what I want?"

"Yes, and I want it too." Rufus said.

Cissnei glanced between Rufus and Genesis, her eyes widening in horror. Why was Rufus allowing him to just walk in here like this? He couldn't possibly want to help him...

"Aren't there more of you?" Genesis asked suddenly, frowning and looking around the room.

"There was one other, but he switched sides." Rufus informed him. Genesis nodded slowly.

"This will have to do."
