To kill a Red head 7
Fair exchange is no murder
Disclaimer: FF7 not mine
A/N: I'm back, this seems to be my most popular work and since I did leave a cliff hanger so…
Reno's desk was a mess, it always was but this time there was something sticking out from the mess. A ransom note.
"We have Rude. Bring the moogle to Kalm at 9 pm. Come alone. Or else." he read out. He quickly dialled a number on the desk phone
"Tseng sir?"
"What is it this time Reno?"
"Rude got kidnapped."
"…" Tseng's heavy breathing was easily audible to Reno.
"Tseng?"
"What does the ransom note say?"
"It wants me to go to Kalm at 9pm alone."
"Do what you must, report back when all is over" Tseng hung up
--- The other side of the plot
Rude woke up in a pitch black room, he tried to move but found he had been handcuffed and then tied down with rope. What the hell happened last night?
"You're awake" said a feminine voice
"Where…" Rude mumbled "What…"
"There will be no room for questions, you're friend is coming soon" The voice replied
"Tifa?"
A laugh was heard "Possibly, possibly not"
"Why?"
"Revenge, why else?"
"But. I thought you were over your hatred of the Turks!"
"Who said this was about the Turks? It only involves removing an annoyance."
"Reno?"
"Exactly"
Rude's mind was racing, Tifa, or whoever it was who paid Tifa to drug him. He was sure it was Tifa who drugged him because no amount of surgery could create the chest Tifa has, they don't make silicon implants that big. 'Stop thinking with the wrong head man!' His mind screeched.
He would have to think of an elaborate escape plan before whenever Reno was coming to trade himself for him.

"So do you think the big man's worried that we're gonna hurt him?" Yuffie asked.
"No, but he knows that I'm involved in some way." Tifa replied
"So what was he like in bed?" Elena asked.
"WHAT?!"
"You did do it together before you drugged him right?" Aeris asked
" I DID NOT! ALL I DID WAS PUT THE PILL IN HIS DRINK!"
"Okay, no need to shout miss boobs"
"Shut it Yuffie."
"Yes mistress"
"Grrrr"
The streets in Kalm were mainly quiet and empty. Even during the day it was quiet. Apart from one red head.
Reno was waiting for Rude's kidnappers to show up, in one hand was his EMR, in the other. Elena's cherished Mister Moogle.
"Mister Reno. Did you get my package?"
"Yeah"
"Do you have Mister Moogle?"
"Right here 'Laney, where's Rude?"
"That's for us to know and for you to find out"
"Wait, you got a whole team in on this 'Laney? It was only retaliation for spiking my drink with that weird shit."
"And that's all you need to know, give me back Mister Moogle NOW!"
"Okay, crazy bitch" Reno threw the stuffed toy towards Elena, who caught it and instantly snuggled it. He couldn't help but snicker at this scene "so where's the big man?"
Elena clicked her fingers together and Rude was pushed out of the shadows with a Hood on his head
"You really pushed out the boat for this one 'Laney"
"Elena?" Rude asked, his voice muffled by the hood.
"A deal's a deal Reno, he's yours, but if there is one piece of stuffing missing, one piece of thread snapped off, you will pay big time."
"You are seriously messed up 'Laney"
And with that she disappeared
"Rude?" He asked taking off the hood.
"I was kidnapped by Elena? Then why did Tifa…"
"Shit man, you been fooling 'round with Strife's girl? This will probably be easy street compared to what happens when he finds out!"
"…" It was clear that Reno wasn't listening
"What's with this dust? It looks like talcum powder?"
"…"
---
"So he knows that we're out to get him?"
"Not yet, if he does, then the spiked coffee for tomorrow and the amnesia dust should take effect"
"Amnesia dust? It looks like talcum powder?"
"Shut up Aeris."
A/N: So there was no attempts on Reno's life and pretty much a cop out to explain away the next few chapters but it solved my writers block problem
