Reno slowly opened his eyes to a world of white and pain. "Anyone get the plate of the truck that hit me?" Reno moaned as he grabbed his cranium. Soft chuckling ensued.

"Partner that was no truck that hit you. That was a big ass sword wielded by a certain Blonde fellow." Rude said.

"Rude, buddy, ole-pal o-mine, is that really you?" Reno questioned.

"No, I'm a figment of your imagination brought on by a severe concussion," said Rude sarcastically.

"Oh" Reno looked down as if he actually believed it. Quickly he snapped his head back up "Well figment of my imaination could you give me a hand up? I got shit I need to get done."

"No! You're staying here. You've been given the day off." Rude replied.

"Ugh you know I can't sit around and do nothing. How bout I come with you ?You're filling out paperwork from the last mission right?" asked Reno hopefully, which was humerous considering how much he loathed paperwork.

"Actually I will be sparring with one of the recruits who just got promoted to Turk status." Rude replied.

"Lemme guess 'Lena? But wait a second… why? Oh shit! I'm going to be fired aren't I? Damn it Rude why? I dropped the plate like I was suppose to. I fought Avalanche as long as I could. Didn't they die under the plate? They couldn't have had time to escape." Reno said as he began to panic.

"Well Tsengs trying to reason with the President right now. Which is the only reason you're still employed and alive. But you know if the President gets his way you'll be fired." Rude said as he looked away. He never was one to sugar coat things.

Reno's eyes grew wide. "Fuck man, Tseng won't be able to talk sense into that fat asshole. You know that."

"I know but…hold on that's my phone." Rude said as he picked up his phone and answered it.

"Rude here…

The elevators?…

Yes sir." Hanging up Rude looks at Reno.

"You're ass may have just been saved. Elena and I are to go to the elevators and monitor them. Apparently Cloud and his gang infiltrated the building and are using the elevators. Stupid plan of action really if you ask me." Rude said.

"Ah good. If you get a chance tell him when my injuries heal, I'm going to kick his ass 'kay?" Reno grinned.

Rude shook his head and replied. "Just make sure you're still alive to kick his ass partner." Rude headed towards the exit that would take him to the elevators after saying this.

"It'll take more than President John Shinra to take me down." whispered Reno.

Reno really didn't feel like sitting in bed all day long. He took a quick glance around the little room and determined that he'd been locked in the medical ward.

'locking me in huh? They musta known I wouldn't stay in here. Gah I hate them!' Reno thought. Sighing he stood up and began pacing around the room trying to figure out how he'd get out of the little predicament he was in. Some time later a tray was brought in to him. It consisted of mashed potatoes, peas and steak.

After polishing off his dinner Reno set the tray aside and flopped down onto the bed. As she was staring at the ceiling, his door opened again. In walked the person Reno wanted to see the least in the world.

"Hey Reno! I told you, if you screwed up again, you'd regret it." snarled President Shinra.

Glaring Reno retorted, "I dropped the damn plate, as you told me too. Fuck I even killed Cissnei as ordered. How in the Fucking hell do you call that screw up, you Bastard?"

"Now, now calm down or I have you killed. I said you were being PUNISHED. You actually carried out your own punishment when you dropped the plate. You see you're dear old sister was in the 7th Heaven when the plate dropped. Even though you called her and told her to leave, she didn't have time to get out." Grinned the President.

Reno's face crumpled at this news. "No way, I…I told her, she can't be…" stuttered Reno.

Smirking the President turns to leave, "You're officaly off duty until tomorrow. After all, what kind of boss would I be, if I didn't give you sufficient time to grive?" With that the President slammed the door closed and headed back to his office.

Reno sat on the hospital bed and stared listlessly at the wall. A thousand thoughts were running through his mind. 'I told her to get out. Why the fuck didn't she leave? I did this. I'm the reason both my parent's died all those years ago. Now I'm the reason for both my sister's deaths. I killed all those slum people too. Some I probably even knew, having grown up in sector 8. All those children are dead because of me…' Just then Reno's cell went off dragging him away from his thoughts.

"Reno here…

Tseng?

Ya I talked to the prez. What a fucking prick.

Wait what? I got a mission tomorrow?

In Junon? Isn't that where the V.P. is?

O.. o.k. gotcha."

Reno then hung up and just as he was doing so the emergency system began going off. Reno jumped out of bed, found his turk suit and tossed it on. He then rushed off towards the President's office. He may have the day off but emergencies took [riority. His job was to protect the President and Vice President at all costs. It didn't matter if he hated them or not.
