CHAPTER 2
__________________________________________________________

The ragnoroks jet engines whined , and it soared off into the air , streams of smoke
and fire emitting from its wings.
It reached a certain height , and then soared through the air with immense speed.
Squall had picked his team for the mission , Himself , Zell , Irvine and Rinoa , and
wasn't particularily worried about the mission at all.
He was in the cockpit , Rinoa was one of the passenger seats , Irvine was flying,
and Zell was punching his punching bag downstairs.
Squall sat down next to Rinoa , and took a look at the murder books.
The name that stood out on the list of people killed by the mad person was a high
officer in the Esthar army, surely ge would of been capableof dending off such a person.
He sighed , and then sat next to Irvine , who was still flying the Ragnarok over Esthar.
He seemed to be having the time of his life.
"Put on the Auto pilot , we'll get there faster" ordered Squall.
"We aren't in any hurry" replied Irvine
"Just do it!" shouted Squall angrily.
"Look whose acting like a big man"
Squall said nothing , and sat back down, next to Rinoa.
She was reading Pet Pals , quite content.
Irvine put the ragnarok on autopilot , and sat in the seat in front of Squall , an turned to him.
"So," said Irvine , a mischevious on his face"Whose your new girlfriend"
Rinoa glanced over her magazine at Irvine.
"I don't havce a new girlfriend" said Squall angrily
"Who is that woman you where talking to , then? pretty cosy , eh?"
Rinoa looked at Squal. This was causing more trouble than it was worth.
"Shes my mother"
"Yea, yea, yea" replied Irvine , a grin on his face.
"She is", whispered Squall.
"She was snealing around garden last night , dressed as a faculty.
After a lengthy explanation of his encounter on the previous night , Rinoa frowned.
"I don't buy it,none of it"
"Its the truth" said Squall
"No , i believe you , its the woman i don't believe"
"I told you ,she had the papers" replied Squall , half wishing he hadn't told them.
Rinoa went back to reading Pet Pals , and Irvine went back to the controls.
"ETA , 5 minutes" he said.
The huge scarlet ragnarok landed gracefully on a landing pad in Ghian town.
Ghia town was quite magnificent , it was around as big as Deiling with a combination of their
architecture with the architecture of Esthar.
A delegation had waited at the platform to meet them.
"Ahhh , you are the SeeD representatives. I am Senator Jin'Uy'ara , of Ghian town,
this is President Ghiaacz , and vice president Fonga" said a human male of around sixty.
"I am Squall Leonheart , this is Rinoa Heartilly , Zell Dincht , and Irvine Kineas"
Said Squall , shaking the senator's hand.
They went to the Presidents residence in the Senators luxury car.
Squall sat down on a chair ,after the president had.
"Don Awer , the person responsible for the deaths of 13 people on June 16th , escaped
from Joi Esthar Mental Asylum on June 12th" began the President.
"We believe that he is still in Ghian , as we have blockades on every road in or out"
A maid came with refreshments.
"We also believe that he has a Esthar issued Harrian SL-R-67 rocket launcher"
said the Vice President Fonga.
"He fired one rocket at a telephone box , which caused an exploision , from witnesses reports"
continued Jin'Uy'ara.
"He is deranged , confused , we have to get him alive" said president Ghiaacz
Fonga handed squall a gun , it was full of tranquiliser.
"Use this if you find him" said Jin'Uy'ara.
"What , you're just sending us after him alone?" asked Squall
"No , we are sending 25 Ghian soldiers" said Jin'Uy'ara
"This isn't what we bargained for" said Zell.
"We have to do it" said Rinoa.
The 4 went out of the building , and onto the streets.
