Chapter Ten:

A glowing dot moved further north on Cid's computer screen. "They are headed to the capital, most likely where Mine is." They had moved back into Amon's car, Robin feeling grateful for her extra pair of keys. "They'll think I'm still here if we leave now, so we have to make it known that we're chasing after them."

Robin was getting sick of Cid. He had a bad habit of talking and not stopping, she didn't think he cared about her opinion. She also was pretty convinced that he thought that his plan could never fail. He was that type of person, the type that thought they could do no wrong, and that they were the smartest in the world.

"So we'll need to wait a good half hour before we show ourselves and let them know."

Robin hadn't been paying attention, but she wasn't going to ask what he was talking about. The last thing she wanted was to hear him go on again. "Okay."

Cid glanced at her before flipping shut his laptop and pouring himself into his book. Robin rested her head against the window. From the corner of her eye she noticed him glancing up at her every so often.

"Uhm…" he stuttered, "uh, sorry." Robin glanced at him. "Sorry for not telling you the plan and putting that guy-"

"His name is Amon."

"um, yeah, Amon, for putting him in danger without you guys' consent." Cid muttered.

"As long as this plan works, then you're forgiven." Robin said, only slightly joking.

Cid turned away and mumbled, "like I care if you forgive me."

"Burn what?" Robin whispered. They were back in the building, hidden by Cid's invisibility.

"We already went over this!" Cid hissed. "That stretch of gas I poured just a couple minutes ago!"

"Sorry! Right!" In the next second the ground was ablaze shooting towards-

"Okay! Run!" Cid grabbed Robin by the wrist, practically dragging her away. He was coming back into view, taking down his invisibility.

Robin vaguely saw guards shouting out at them. "Where did that line lead?"

Cid glanced back at her and smirked. "It lead to the-"

The ground shook and a loud explosion cut him off.

"The boiler room!" Cid shouted over the sound. It was official, the chief was going to kill her when all this was over.

They ran out the front exit of the building, the guards being too preoccupied with escaping to try to capture them. But when they jumped into the car and Cid threw her the keys, Robin's stomach sank.

"I'm a terrible driver!"

"At least you can legally drive!" Cid snapped, belting himself in the passenger seat that Robin usually took.

"Only when some who has a license is in the car with me!"

They could see guards coming towards the car. "Just hurry up and drive!"

Robin got in and started the car. She would be double-dead if anything happen to Amon's car while she was driving it. Another explosion could be heard from within the building and Robin gunned it.

Cid's hands immediately went to grab the dashboard for support, thinking for a moment that he really should have been the one to drive.

Finally Robin and Cid found themselves outside of the capital building. "Do you know where they might be holding Amon?" Robin asked.

"Yeah, it's either at his office or in the basement where he held me."

"Okay, lets go."

"Wait!" Cid snapped. "I just want to make sure of the security systems first."

Robin sighed, he was also a bit of a control freak.

"Just as I thought," he mumbled.

"What?"

"He got a new security system, heat sensors. He'll know we're here." Cid explained.

"I thought the plan was to let him know we're here." Robin reminded him.

"Yeah, but I don't want them to catch us!" She was starting to get really sick of him. Starting? It was more like he had finally gotten her to the point of snapping.

"Is all you're going to do is complain?" She glared at his surprised face. "Are you going to do this or what? I'm going whether you follow or not!" Robin stormed off, heading towards the entrance.

"Wait!" Cid chased after her, throwing his invisibility craft over them.

"You're nothing like him, you know." She glanced back at him, Cid frantically making a 'shh-ing" motion. "Hunter wanted nothing more than to do good, even if it cost him his soul to do it."

"What do you know-"

"His last words were 'thank you.'"

Cid stared at her for a moment before brushing past. "Come on, we're going aren't we?"
