CHP 3. SPIN
Seifer had been awake until 2 hours past midnight last night, feeling too dizzy because perhaps he drank too much cocktails on an empty stomach. He felt heaviness clouding his head, shunning his eyes to focus. He could feel the warmth of the sunrays shining upon his cheeks. It's just that he couldn't manage to lift his bare back off the sheets of his bed. His fingers searched for the clock that was placed on a desk beside his bed. 'Darn it. It's already 11:30 and I'm still laying here butt naked.' So he tossed his feet to the floor and rushed to the bathroom, just trying to get a quick shower before he gets dressed into his clothes. Soon after that he wrapped a towel onto his waist and ran out to the closet and grabbed his coat, vest and his regular dark trousers.
Just when he was fully dressed and was zipping his pants, Irvine came hastening into his room, slamming the doors open behind him. "Seifer!!" But when he realized what Seifer was half into, his eyes widened, devastated. "HOLY COW!!"
"What the fuck?! What the hell?! Goodness sake, Cowboy, you gotta go back to kindergarten and knock the door, asshole!!" (sorry for d language ^_^;;) He sharpened his eyes and glared at Irvine, whose eyes were still round as donuts and sweating.
"Um... Sorry!" Irvine couldn't possibly think of another word to say to apologize.
"...whatever. So what brings you here?" His tone still shows a hint of his annoyance towards him.
"Um.. Headmaster wants to see you." He explained in short.
"Fine. Tell him I'll be there."
And soon after that Irvine ran as fast as he could, leaving Seifer's dorm behind.

Inside Headmaster Cid's office were about a dozen of other Elite SeeD members who gathered on the corners of the room. Seems like something important was going on. Seifer walked in and stood before Cid's desk. He raised his arm and gave him a salute. "Seifer," he began in his trembling and husky voice. As usual, he was flashing his gentle smile. "The SeeD Elite Forces are to investigate a group of bootleggers called the 6 Underground who sells illegal alcohol drinks on the black market. What's worse is they were also importing very perilous chemicals and was experimenting on creating dangerous mutated creatures that they will use to destroy cities. Now your task, Mr. Almasy, is to terminate this biochemical activity that is centered on Dollet City. You will be paired with Quistis Trepe. Now she will explain the procedures." With his fingers, he signaled Quistis to come and gave her speech.
'Paired with Quistis?? Well at least I know how skilled she is in combat.' Seifer straightened his back and altered his pair of jade eyes towards Quistis'. She smiled and arched her brow before she opened her folder, which contained files about the mission. "I'd like Xu to help me clarify this." Xu came running from a corner.
"Okay. Mr. Almasy and Instructor Trepe, you will be working on this operation under the name of Mr. And Mrs. Larsson, and pretend that you were a couple who were on their honeymoon-"
"What the-?!" Seifer cut Xu's elucidation but was interrupted by Quistis' protest. "Excuse me, Mr. Almasy. The clarification of the procedure is in progress. You may have questions and suggestions later after everything is clear." Seifer lowered his head and cleared his throat. He nodded and Xu continued to read the paper.
"Okay. And on this operation you will have to stay in a honeymoon hotel near the coast of Dollet City. We will show you the exact location later. Mr. Almasy, you will be recognized by the hotel reception as Mr. Vince Larsson and Instructor Trepe, you will be his 'wife' and will be known under the name Mrs. Carmen Larsson." She then closed her binder and took a step back. Quistis nodded towards her and thanked her before she continued.
"Thank you very much Xu. Any Questions, Mr. Almasy?" She crossed her arms, expecting Seifer to burst out his objections. But unexpectedly, Seifer remained silent.
"Everything is acknowledged." He said simply, followed with a smile. 'Shit. Why do I have to act like I'm married to her?! Well I was grateful at first because I know she can kick some ass but to pretend that she's my wife?! Man, it'll be hell.' He muttered inside to himself inside his mind.
"Very well. The details will be explained to you later confidentially. We will start tomorrow morning, so now you have time to pack your belongings." She smiled to Seifer and then to Cid. Cid smiled back and everyone left the room except for the three of them.
Cid rose from his seat and crossed his hands behind his back. He walked over slowly towards Seifer and posted a serious look. "Look, Seifer. We don't know whether this mission will be dangerous or not. So in any cases I want you to look over Quistis and protect her no matter what. After the creatures that they are building in the lab are destroyed, you are to blow the laboratory with the explosives that will be given to you tomorrow after you arrived in Dollet. The others will take care of the gang members. You just focus on your task."
"Yes sir." He nodded in affirmation. 'Shit. Now I got whole loads of things to do. One, pretend that I'm married to Quistis. Two, protect her from harms. Three investigate on this crappy organization the 6 Underground, and now to kill d monsters that could take away my life. Nice thing.'
"Not only that, you are the leader of this mission. So be sure to act responsible and keep in touch with the other members. Quistis have the list. Don't worry. Everyone is behind you." He smiled. And then he smiled wider as he waved his hand lightly, signaling him to lower down so he can whisper to his ear. "And make your undercover look as real as possible. You can get a little bit 'passionate' with her. I know that there's some kind of those kind of sparks between the two of you." He chuckled to himself.
"S-s-sir?!" Seifer couldn't help to blush when he saw the picture of him and Quistis doing that kind of "thing". 'That wouldn't happen! That wouldn't happen!' He whispered harshly in his mind.
"Okay you two are dismissed. Instructor, I expect the two of you to help each other, okay?" And when Quistis nodded and turned her back to leave, Cid winks at Seifer, causing him to blush deeper. The two walked into the lift and Quistis stretched her finger and pressed the ground button.
"So what did he said to you that I couldn't hear?"
Seifer swallowed his saliva and rolled his eyes. "..nothing."
