Team: Turks
Word Count: 100
Prompt: #101 Shadow

He had to admit, the kid was good. For thirty hours he'd been tailed and only twice did he catch a glimpse. He found it amusing to try and lose the boy to see how experienced he was, working as if this was a serious chase. It could be, it wouldn't be the first time kids were used as assassins. But his current mission was over and he wanted to get back to his apartment, shower, food and bed in that order.

"Ok kid, your name?" Rude said, as the boy stepped from the shadows with a smug grin.

"Reno."

With such a massive SOLDIER presence this week, it is no wonder that Avalanche was scarce. SOLDIER takes home the trophy for a whopping 1020 points! This is the highest point count we have ever had - well done you all, well done! Just for that, you get a little GIP: shirtless Sephiroth. Even the Turks managed to get a little love with 40 points. Your mod is duly impressed.

This week's prompt is #101 - Shadow

Are the Turks waiting in the shadows or is that just Hojo again? Is that baby chocobo becoming Cloud's little shadow with the imprinting? Are the members of Avalanche meeting in a shadowy dive to discuss their next raid on ShinRa? Is Yuffie waking up in the shadow of a mountain? Is Zack still dealing with a shadow of a dream that lingers on the edge of his psyche?

Take a literal interpretation or a more figurative one, but a shadow has to appear somewhere in your drabble of just 100 words.
