Chapter 24 – Finale

"Reno, this your first mission in ages, now don't mess it up." Tseng said seriously.

"Are you sure you should send him on his own?" Rude asked.

"He'll be fine. Right, go now."

Reno stepped out into the cold, his hair blowing slightly in the breeze. All he had to do was get some files from the other side of town, not much of a mission, he thought to himself. He crossed the street quickly, raising his hand to the car that had stopped abruptly to let him cross. Ignoring the stares he was getting from people in the street, especially little kids for some reason, he slipped into the dark alleyway in order to take a shortcut.

The shortcut brought him out in a small neighbourhood. It didn't take him long to spot the building he was supposed to be going to. It was tall, larger by far than all the others. He smiled to himself and made his way towards it.

As he approached the door, he thought he heard someone behind him. He looked around consciously but saw no-one. He ignored it and entered the building.

The inside was very plain. All the walls were decorated brown and white. He spotted a small reception next across the room, with a young blond woman talking on the telephone.

Reno leant on the counter and smiled at the young woman.

"Can I help you, sir?" she asked politely after putting the phone down.

"Sure can. I need to pick up something for Tseng." He said casually.

"Oh right. You must be Reno."

"You bet."

"Just one second, I'll call someone to bring them through." She picked up the phone. "Yes, I need those files for Shinra…Yes he is. Okay." She put the phone down and smiled at Reno. "They'll only be a minute."

"Yeah thanks…" he said absent-mindedly. He was looking back at the glass door that he came in by.

"Listen," he said, "Did anyone leave the building, just before I came in?"

"Well…" she said, still smiling, "We've not been busy. The last person that came in here he was…hmm...quite a bit shorter than you, with black hair." Reno nodded.

"Reno?" a man was standing a little way off him, holding a large, blue file in his hand. He handed it to Reno.

"Cheers." He took it and left quickly.

Reno had hoped he would catch the man, but he was no where to be seen. He glanced at the other two alleyways that led off that part of the neighbourhood, but nothing. He began to make his way back, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard a voice behind him.

"Well, it's nice to see you up and about." Reno turned around to see Zack smirking at him. "I have to say though, you're not exactly looking your best."

"What do you expect?"

"Well, there's no need to loose your temper with me, is there?"

"I'm sure there is." Reno hand moved slowly towards his pocket.

"I've been waiting for this…" Zack pulled a knife out of his pocket. "You killed her, I don't care what Cloud has done, you still deserve to die." He moved towards Reno.

"No, that would be you." Reno quickly pulled his gun out of his pocket and fired it, hitting Zack in the chest. Reno stepped towards him.

"You got no one to help you this time." He smirked

"No…you…"

"Get it in your head. No one gets in the way of Reno and the Turks."
