Well here it is, my second chapter, I hope you guys enjoy.
Preparation
************
Squall immediately left his office, slamming the door, on his was out so hard the hinges rattled. "Loren, I'm going on an a mission, don't tell anyone about this, tell them I'm going on a vacation." Squall never stopped walking and started to exit his secretary's office, going out to the main hall.
Squall opened up the door and walked outside, but on an impulse stuck his head back inside for a second. "And if you tell anybody, I mean anybody, about that phone call, you will be permanently resigned to an out post in the middle of the frozen tundra got it?" With that note squall shut the door, not slamming it as he didn't want to draw unwanted attention to himself.
She better not slip, I know how gossipy she can be, and the last thing I want is for the whole damn garden to get in on this, it would take days just to decide what to do, and they might decide since I'm commander, that they don't want me going after some lowly girl. HA! Well even if they did try and stop me, nothing could, I will do this my way, the hell with their damn See-D rules and regulations, I will find her. Thinking about her immediately brought back the rage he felt towards Siefer. That bastard! I don't know what the hell he's doing, but he has to be stopped. Squall thought back to the last time he'd seen him, throwing Rinoa into Adel. I should have hunted him down for that, but I just never really thought about it with all the great times we were having, well no mistake, I'm going to get him, and this time. Squall ground his fists together, imagining Siefer was right in front of him. He'll pay.
Squall made it back to his personal quarters, with out much mishap, he had to stop ounce or twice to say 'hey' to the occasional rookie See-D member, or 'some other time' to all the ladies that would ask him out, since they all new about his problem with Rinoa, and all of them want to 'make him feel better'. Stupid girls, I don't think I can ever think about anybody else ever again, let alone less than two weeks after she left.
Squall opened his door, and went straight to a cabinet in the corner. He pulled a key out of his pocket and stuck it in the lock, it made an audible pop, as it opened, and squall opened up the doors. I thought I wouldn't be using this again; thought I could finally stop having to fight, live a normal life, with the women I love. Well no mater, I have to get her back, and to do that, I'll need my lion heart.
Squall unbuckled his belt, which had his revolver gun blade hooked on it, and sat it down in the cabinet. Squall sighed, as he reached in and pulled out a much bigger, pulsating blue gun blade, which was his most powerful weapon. Squall rubbed his fingers across the blade a few times, getting re-equated with the weapon that helped him save the world.
Squall could see the battle easily, he, Rinoa and Zell squared off against Ultimicia, she was in her final form, they were the only ones left to stop her, the others being sucked into time distortion, lost for ever, unless they succeeded. It was a long hard battle, but there was one part that he would remember for ever, and that was when Ultimicia knocked out Rinoa, he could still see her body crumpling to the ground like a rag, Zell running to her side to try and protect her, and him…him being filled with such anger he thought he would explode, and in a way he did, he charged Ultimicia with such force, couldn't stop him, and he killed her. He ran back to Rinoa, seeing her start to wake up, and she locked eyes with him, and gave him one of those smiles that would make him do anything for her, and right now she just waned him.
Squall shook himself from his memories. I don't know what I'll do if I don't find her, I'll keep looking till the end of time. Squall strapped the new gun blade onto his belt, taking a few seconds to adjust to the new weight, then locked the cabinet, and walked out of his room.
Squall made his way to Balamb, without running into anyone, and only a few monsters he could have killed in his sleep. He walked into the car rental place and got a shabby looking old cab. "Don't you have anything better? This beat up old pile of junk probably doesn't even run!" The man laughed. "Trust me son, I worked on that car personally, it may look like a tin can but it'll run faster than you can believe." Squall grumbled at this, but paid the man for the car, "Keep this car here for me, I'll be back latter for it."
Squall walked down the streets of Balamb, looking for the right house, then knocking, he didn't wait more than a few moments, until a boisterous older women opened the door and glared at him, "what in heavens name do you want young ma…squall? Squall! How you doing?" Mrs. Dincht grabbed squall and drug a protesting commander inside. "Wait, Mrs. Dincht, I just need to talk to you for a moment, no need for me to come in." "Oh, don't pull that Mrs. Dincht on me, call me Maggie, it is my name after all, and your coming in for some hot coco, whether it kills you!" Squall grumbled some more but complied, and was soon sitting at a table in the kitchen, "Um, very nice place you have her Mrs. … I mean Maggie." Maggie came bustling out from behind him and sat the coco down in front of him, "oh, you don't have to be formal with me, you've been in here plenty of times, now what do you want to ask me about? If it's Zell then I'm sorry, he still hasn't returned from his vacation with Quistis to FH." Squall took a brief sip from his coca, and then started apprehensively, "no, I'm not her for Zell or Quistis." Maggie's eyes glistened. "Don't you think they make a good couple? I think there just adorable together. You know for the longest time I didn't think my son would get a girl friend, but I guess he saw how nice it was when he saw you and Rinoa together…how is she by the way? I heard you two had a bad break up, think there's a second chance yet?"
Squall sat there speechless for a second, this strange older women taking him totally off guard. "Well, um, actually I was here to ask you if you've seen or heard anything about her. I think she maybe in trouble." "Trouble. Trouble!?" Maggie practically knocked him over with her hysterics. "Oh, that poor dear, is she all right? What's the matter? Is she hurt? Where is she? Come on don't just sit there, speak up!"
Again squall could do nothing but stare, then finally got out. "Um, I think," and pray. 'She's alright, she's, I don't know, I just know that she's in trouble and I have to find her and help her.'
Maggie sat down, trying to calm her nerves and think. "Well, I haven't heard a thing about her at all. And I can't think of a single thing that could help you…WAIT!"
Again squall was shocked, but this time he was also overcome with joy. Wait? Wait?! That must mean she knows something that can help me out, oh god, all the time I've spent here, all the torment by her, all the anguish, but above all, all the embarrassing moments, were all worth it! "Do you know something?!" Squall could hardly contain his joy.
She had an extremely happy air to her, "Caraway!" She looked at him excitedly, waiting for his admiration.
"Caraway! How the hell can he help?" Squall stood there with agitation written all over him.
Maggie got her own look of agitation on her face, and started talking in an annoying motherly tone. "Come on you stupid boy. You're the commander of See-D; I know you're smarter than that! Isn't it obvious? Caraway is her father, he has to know something!" She sat down and stared at him.
Squall's look didn't change a bit. "But you see, they've been fighting for years, in fact they were on direct opposite sides when she hired me, I mean us."
Maggie an exasperated sigh, "Squall, dear, no matter how parents act toward their children it's just their way of trying to raise them right, all parents truly love their children, even if they can't show it right. I say you go see him right away, I'm sure he'll be able to help you.
Squall didn't like the idea, he never did get along with the man, but if could help in his search, then he'd do it. "Thanks a lot Maggie, I'll see you later." Squall got up from the table and started to leave; until Maggie practically tackled him with a hug.
"See you later squall, and when you find Rinoa make sure to tell her hi for me."
"Um sure." When I find her? God I hope so. 'Good bye Maggie, thanks a lot for the coco, it was really good.'
Squall shut the door behind him and gave a small sigh. Good to be out of there, she's a real nice lady, but she's also the most annoying person I've ever met. Squall gave a small smile. Except for Zell.
