Quistis ran with a weird feeling in her stomach. Kyle definitely came on to
her, and she wasn't sure whether or not to tell Seifer. He'd start a fight,
which would probably expose their identities prematurely. If she didn't
tell him, and pretended that she was into Kyle, which would keep him in
town until they could take action. 'Maybe I should have been the nerd
instead of Irvine. This is a confusing situation!' she thought.
She went into the weapons shop, and-surprise surprise-saw Zell drooling over the Ehrgeiz upgrades. "Sweeeeet. Dragon's Fist." She walked over and handed him a handkerchief and said, "Zane-you're drooling." He seemed to be coming out of a trance while he took the kerchief. He dabbed at his face and said, "What's up?" She said, "I found what we're looking for-AGAIN." He frowned and said, "How come you're the only one?" She grabbed his arm and dragged him outside.
She looked around, then lowered her voice and said, "I think we should find Squall and tell him. Plus, I think it would be wise for me to patrol with someone. He came on to me, and I don't want to be in the wrong place at the wrong time with him-you know what I'm sayin'?"
Zell nodded and said, "I'll patrol with you. Better than SuperDork or Seifer. He might blow our cover. Let's go find Squall!" They ran down the street.

Later that night, Quistis walked up to the Timber Hotel. She was wiped out. After she and Zell found Squall and told him the news, they looked for Kyle for hours. It was now 11:30, so she decided to call it a night. She asked the lady at the front for the key, and went up to their room. The three girls shared a room, and the four guys shared another room. She opened the door and saw that Selphie had already come back.
"Hey Saffron" Quistis tiredly said. "When did you get here?" Selphie replied, "A couple of minutes ago. Ian and I had to patrol together-you wouldn't believe how many people tried to beat him up today! Bunch of meanies."
Quistis smiled and said, "Well, I'm going to take a shower and hit the sack. I'm beat."

At 7:00 the next morning, the phone rang as a rude wake-up call. Quistis picked up the receiver and said, "Hello?" with a yawn. "Quinlan?" a familiar voice said. She sat up straight in bed, and the hairs on her arms stood straight up.
"Kyle?" she asked quietly, not wanting to disturb Rinoa or Selphie.
He said, "Yeah, remember me? From yesterday?" She nodded and replied, "Yeah, um, how did you know I was here?" He replied, "I saw you go into the Timber Hotel, so I called and asked for the number to your room. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I'm gonna go to Balamb in a little while to get that tongue piercing done. Do you wanna come with me?"
She took a sharp breath of air in, and a hard pit formed in her stomach. "How about I meet you at the Train Station in one hour?" He said, "Sounds great. See you soon!" She heard the click of the phone, and she quietly replaced the receiver to the phone. She ran to the bathroom and quickly got dressed, carefully putting all her piercings in, and fixing her wig. Then she quietly left the room and went next door.
She knocked quietly, because she knew the only one awake was Squall. She heard a crash from within, and a curse. The door opened, and she saw Squall's tired face. "Saxton, let me in-NOW." He nodded and ran a hair through his bleached blond hair. She entered and had to step over girlie magazines and chip bags to get halfway inside. 'Irvine's a major pig' she thought.
"So what's up?" Squall asked. She lowered her voice and said, "Kyle just called me." Squall nearly fell off the couch. "WHAT?!" he whispered. "He saw me come in the Hotel, got my number and called. He's going to Balamb, and he invited me to go with him. I said I would. We're meeting at the Train Station in about 45 minutes."
Squall stood up and paced. After a while he said, "Okay, I'm sending Zell and Selphie to follow you guys. That way, you won't be alone if he tries to hurt you. Just try to get as much information as you can from him. I know it'll be hard, but you have to pretend that you like him; we need to know where he's keeping the artillery. Play up to him, get on his good side. Now go tell Selphie to get ready, and I'll tell Zell. They'll leave a little after you, board the same train, and follow you at a distance while you're in Balamb. Dismissed." She nodded and ran out.
Little did they know, Seifer was listening to the whole conversation. He got dressed and snuck out, soon after Zell left.
