Redheaded Stranger

Chapter 21
Transporting the Prisoner

"Time to go, Odine," Reno teased the man with a kind tone of voice as if he hadn't just severely tortured him a few hours ago. Squall looked at the scientist who was shivering in one corner of his cell. The evil, manipulative man had been reduced to a quivering pile of flesh and Squall found that he felt no pity for the ex-head scientist of Esthar. He weakly tried to fight them off when they pulled him from the floor, screaming that he didn't want to be tortured anymore. A good smack across the back of his head by Reno had stopped his fit and he altered to whimpering quietly.

The helicopter ride back to the site was uneventful besides Odine mewling like a scared animal in the back. His eyes were wide with fear as if waiting for Reno to decide to hurt him again. The redhead spoke to him now and again, threatening to do just that and he snickered every time the man squirmed with terror. Even after being healed the scars from Reno's abuse remained and his face was swollen from being pummeled. Squall ignored the whole scene, remaining coldly silent while Odine whined pitifully.

"Vhere are you taking me?" he was brave enough to ask at one point and Reno raised his hand in warning.

"Enough, Reno," Squall said with a shake of his head. "You're going back to Esthar, Odine. You killed a man, remember?" He gave him an icy glare in warning for him to keep quiet and the trembling man stayed obediently silent the rest of the trip.

"I wondered when you guys were going to decide to come back," Rude commented when he met them as they got out of the copter. He eyed Odine with a not so friendly look and smirked when he saw the state that his partner had left him in. "I see you had your fun, Reno."

"You know it. Little fucker ought to be glad I didn't shove my EMR up his ass and turn it up full blast. Ain't that right, you little shit?" he growled, shaking Odine by the arm like a rag doll.

"I almost forgot to give you this," Rude said, handing Squall a bottle with a nozzle fastened to it. "This dude tried to spray this in my face around the time he was caught."

"Good thing he didn't succeed. You would have been under his control," Squall said, placing it in his jacket pocket.

"Motherfucker," Rude said, making a fist and looking at Odine like he wanted to have his own fun with him.

"Let's go Reno," he said, pulling Odine toward the boulder before he could be beaten to a pulp for a second time.

"Tell the boss I'll be back as soon as I can. I want to make sure this asshole gets what's coming to him," he yelled over his shoulder as they dragged the prisoner along.

"You know the drill, Odine. Don't try anything stupid, understand?" Squall said. The scientist nodded, but stayed silent as they approached the gateway.

The trip back was less disorienting and they stepped into the Fire Cavern without any trouble. The two cadets guarding the wall were slightly surprised at the unexpected arrival of their Commander, but they were pleased to see that Odine had been caught so quickly. Squall and Reno wasted no time and took Odine outside to the nearest vehicle to transport him back to the Garden. The scientist seemed to become more calm with each passing minute and just stared down at his own feet on the trip back. He even ignored Reno's constant taunts, seeming to retreat inside himself.

"You got somewhere we can lock him up?" Reno asked when they got out of the vehicle.

"No need to. I want to get him to Esthar as soon as possible. They can lock him up there until they have the trial."

"Trial? Fuck that!"

"This has to be done right, Reno."

"Shit, I should have just smoked him in the room when I had the chance," he sneered.

Odine shuffled along in between them as they led him inside, trying to block out their conversation. The last thing he wanted to hear about was his approaching death. Even in his fear he felt no regret for what he had done. He had only wanted to gain more knowledge from other worlds and that foolish man had gotten in his way. If not for the stranger, he'd probably still be comfortably in Esthar continuing his great work. Fate was indeed cruel.

"You guys got him already?" Zell asked when they entered the Garden. His smile faltered when he saw Odine's face and he looked at the two questioningly.

"Don't worry, Zell. He just ran into my fists a few dozen times is all," Reno said.

"Damn, guess he should be more careful," Zell joked half-heartedly.

"Go get Seifer and Irvine to come along and prepare the Ragnarok for departure," Squall said, getting his attention away from the scientist.

"Alright, Squall." He ran off and the two of them walked Odine to the airship in relative silence. Once aboard, they weren't waiting long before the others arrived and Squall had Irvine and Seifer take the prisoner to a secure room to guard. He sighed with relief once they were out of sight and rubbed his eyes tiredly.

"What's wrong, babe?" Reno asked.

"We still have to deal with Mayor Travis. My father's not going to be very happy to hear the news about his involvement in this. Other than you torturing the confession out of Odine, we really have no solid proof. It's going to be difficult to get to him without that."

"They'll find something. You can't deal with someone that heavily and not leave some kind of trail."

"Maybe,....maybe not," Squall said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Damn, don't be so optimistic, babe," Reno smirked and got a soft chuckle from the brunette. "That's better."

"Are you always in such a good mood?"

"About as much as I'm horny, so yeah, I tend to be a happy fucker." He gave Squall a lustful stare and a cocky grin. "Is there somewhere on this ship where we can get some privacy?"

"Again?!"

"I didn't get my turn, ya cock tease. So is there somewhere we can go or not?" Squall shook his head with a light smirk, amazed at the redheads insatiability. "Ohhhhh, and look at what I got in my pocket." he said playfully, taking out the same bottle of lube they had used at his place.

"You actually brought that. Hyne, Reno, you're like a bitch in heat."

"Come on, Squall," he purred. "Are you gonna make me wait again?" Reno wasn't shy to press against him to start teasing his collar bone with the tip of his tongue. He let him kiss and tease his way up his neck without resistance, and at the moment Squall didn't really care if someone walked upon the intimate scene. It felt too damn good for him to care. "Don't make me beg," he said while nibbling lightly on his earlobe. "Unless that gets you hot. Then I'll beg all you want."

"Reno..."

"Hmmm.."

"This way," he whispered and walked down the corridor. Reno followed close behind, keeping his eyes on his leather clad ass, mesmerized by it. He led him to a room with a small bed and a cushioned chair. There was a small bathroom as well, but not much else. Reno locked the door and turned his attention back to Squall who was already removing his gunblade and belts.

"Impatient as well as annoying," Squall said lightly as he took his jacket off next. He finished undressing while Reno watched enraptured, appreciating every flex and move his toned body made. "Are you planning on fucking me with your clothes on, Reno?" he asked.

"I'm just enjoying the strip show." Squall stepped forward to free Reno of the his clothing that was nothing but an obstacle in his way.

"And you're calling me impatient," Reno said, allowing himself to be pulled to the bed. It was much smaller than his bed at home, but it would do. Taking over, Reno pinned Squall down, much like he had done to him at their last encounter. "What do you say, Squall. Do you like the change? Cause I gotta say, I love it up here."

"Do you see me complaining?"

"Mmmmm, no. And your body isn't either," He groaned, shifting his groin against Squall's to rub their erections together. Reno glanced at the headboard and saw an opportunity for a little kinky fun and wondered if Squall would be up for what he had in mind. "You like kinky shit, babe?" he asked breathlessly as he continued to tease both their cocks with his grinding motion.

"What do you mean?" Squall asked suspiciously then bit back a moan when the redhead shifted harder against him.

"You ever been tied up?"

"No, Reno.."

"Don't knock it, you might like it." He stopped moving and looked down at his lover expectantly. The brunette seemed unsure of the situation, but was deep in thought, mulling it over. Reno kept himself occupied by tracing his tongue over the scar that marred his handsome face, bringing a soft moan to his ears.

"Do it," he said, relenting to the redhead. Reno smiled and left the bed to grab two of Squall's discarded belts. "On one condition," he added when he joined him again.

"What's that, babe?"

"I get to do what I want to you at our little party with Rinoa."

"That's a deal," he smirked and grabbed Squall's wrist to bind them together. Once he was secured to the headboard, Reno smiled down at him devilishly and Squall instantly wished he had refused. "Are you ticklish?"

"What?!" he growled and struggled to get his wrist free. "Dammit, Reno!" The redhead started at his ribs and tickled furiously and Squall laughed against his will, cursing Reno all the while. "I swear I'm gonna kick your ass.... Knock it the fuck off....Son of a bitch!"

"I love it when you talk dirty, baby," Reno chuckled, giving the panting Commander a break.

"Ohhh, you're gonna pay for that," Squall sneered venomously.

"Promises, promises," Reno purred and ravaged his chest with a playful tongue. When he wrapped his lips around one of his hard nipples, his anger seemed to melt away for the time being and his harsh, angry breath turned to pants of desire.

"Do it, Reno," he muttered, arching up against the pleasure.

"Fuck, I can't get over how hot you are," Reno said, sitting up and grabbing the lube. "Since the first time I saw you, I wanted to pound your tight ass."

"Then quit talking about it and do it," Squall panted, shifting in the position Reno needed.

"Yeah....," he said with a smirk and slid two lube covered fingers inside his orifice. Squall bit back a moan and rocked slightly against his thrusting digits. He never saw the attraction to anal sex until now. It felt better than he could have imagined and the pleasure only increased when Reno's sneaky fingers found his prostate.

"Hyne, fuck me already!" he growled loudly with impatience, rocking his hips with urgent thrusts.

"Might want to quiet down, babe. Unless you want everyone on the ship to hear us," Reno smiled as he pulled his fingers free to lube up his shaft.

"I think we're past that point now after you made me laugh, you ass!" Reno's smile widened and he thrust into Squall before he could bitch anymore. "Ahhn," was the response he got for his rough intrusion.

"Mmmm....fucking tight," Reno murmured and thrust with slow stroked to relish the feel of his inner muscles gripping his shaft. He sat up to thrust deeper, and to get a better view of Squall's sweat covered and erotically writhing body. The sight was incredible as the brunette arched up, rocking to meet his thrusts, moaning each time Reno's cock slid hard to the hilt in his ass. His wrists were twisting to get free from their bonds and he smirked at the sight. "Is this what you want, Squall?" Reno purred and grabbed his cock to stroke with his thrusts.

"Fuck, Reno....harder!" He said it barely above a whisper, but it was like a loud shout to his ears and he complied to his request, thrusting and stroking with abandon. "Ahhn, fuck!" Squall cried hoarsely, spilling his seed over Reno's hand. Reno watched him as he threw his head back in the throes of his climax and his own took over. He tired to bite back his shout of pleasurable release but gave up and yelled with it when he sprayed inside Squall's tightening hole.

Reno reached up and started to unfasten Squall's bindings, aware that the brunette was watching him intently. "Be nice," he said when Squall pulled his wrist free. He grabbed the redhead and flipped him over, wrestling with him until he had him pinned on the bed face down. He laughed nervously, trying to catch his breath and not succeeding very well as Squall held him in place.

"What should I do with you, Reno?" he asked, breathing fast and ragged.

"Use your imagination, babe," he chuckled and squirmed a little, testing Squall's hold on him and he found it was damn strong.

"You're safe for now," Squall said against his ear, licking the lobe with a slow roll of his tongue. "But I am going to get you back, count on it." Reno's body trembled pleasantly with the promise and he was disappointed when he was released suddenly. He rolled over in time to see Squall's attractive backside disappearing into the bathroom to freshen up and he wondered what exactly he had in store for him.

"Mayor Travis? Are you sure about this?" Laguna asked, looking crestfallen.

"Afraid so," Squall answered. "Reno got it out of him, but I don't know if we can do anything about it. If we can't find anything to back up Odine's confession, we're out of luck."

"Hyne, I've met the man on many occasions and he doesn't seem the type of person who would do this." He ground his teeth and grabbed his leg with a hiss of pain.

"You're still having trouble with that," Squall asked with only the slightest hint of concern.

"Only when I'm stressed, which seems to be a lot lately because of this Odine situation, and now this," he sighed, straightening back up in his chair. Reno looked on quietly with curiosity. He'd relieve the man's stress in a heartbeat if he didn't think Squall would cut his nuts off. He had already been warned about flirting with his father and it was bad enough he already nailed his matron. He just prayed his new lover would never find that fact out. "How exactly did you get this information from Odine?" It took a few seconds for Reno to realized the President was talking to him.

"Oh, just my winning personality I guess." Squall rolled his eyes and shook his head. "I'm just good at getting people to open up," he added with a smirk.

"I see," he said, appearing to be accepting of Reno's obscure answer. "They're still going through Odine's files. Maybe they'll find something to help us there," he said hopefully. "I'm just glad you caught him, son."

"You need to thank Reno for that one too. His partner caught him when he traveled to his world. It was luck on our side."

"Thanks again, Reno," Laguna said gratefully.

"No problem, babe....I mean Sir," Reno corrected too late and looked at Squall to see glaring eyes focused intently on him. "Heh, the things that can slip out sometimes."

"Let's go, Reno," Squall said through clenched teeth, barely keeping his anger intact.

"Shit," Reno muttered lowly and stepped out the door with Squall close behind, closing the door with a loud click.

"Babe?" Laguna mused with an amusing look of utter confusion on his face.
