Through clouds eyes.

Chapter 2

The next thing I remember was waking up in the little tunnel and Jessie, who by now I knew was the demolitions and computer expert was setting a small charge.  "Alright everyone get back"!!  The charge blew and we left the tunnel for parts unknown.  On the way to the train station I asked wedge where we were headed  "Tifa's 7th heaven" I stopped dead in my tracks, Tifa?  No it couldn't be, could it?  While I was thinking of this and walking to the train station in Barrets only defensive maneuver  (split up so the enemy cant locate you) I ran in to this punk who must have saw my sword and damn near pissed his pants as he ran off.  I saw that they had knocked over this flower girl.  I helped her to her feet and she asked, "What happened?"  She seemed nervous and worried so I tried to change the subject.  "Nothing… hey you don't see many flowers around here."  "Oh, these?  Do you like them? There only a gill."  I bought one from her and it seemed to make her happy.  I walked away looking at the flower, even if the girl that I think might be there isn't, I can still give it to Barrets little daughter, he had one didn't he?  Yeah I'm sure of it.   Well I got close to the train station when 2 solders approached me, my first instinct was to take them out but it would take valuable time that I didn't have.  So I just kept walking, then they gave me the usual shit, "Put your hands on your head and face against the wall".  I just started running to the other alley but there were 2 more guards there with weapons drawn.  So I started to run to the third alley where wouldn't you know it there were 2 more guards there weapons drawn  "SHIT"!!   I thought that I was going to miss the train all the sudden when I heard the whistle blow.  Inwardly I though "oh this is not my day!!!"  Then I heard the guards coming closer but just then I heard the train whistle come under me.  No way this is gona work but I gota try.  Just as the guards rushed towards me I backfilled off the bridge right on to the top of the car, then again maybe it was my day after all.  After searching 13 cars I finally found the one with Barret in it so I pounded on the door but it wouldn't open so I opened it myself and flipped in.  Boy was Barret PISSED.  He yelled at me for what seemed to be 5 minuets then we went in to the main part of the train.  From then on it was a smooth ride home except for them damn security checkpoints.  Them damn things could scare a guy half to death.  All the while I was wondering about my first major question.  Is Tifa really there, my Tifa?  We finally got to sector 7 and went in to the slums where we found the bar.  But Barret wouldn't let me in.  For what seemed an hour I walked around, then finally he let me in.
