I'm sorry this is so short, but I really haven't had time to write.
Chapter 6
They arrived in Dollet an hour later without further incident. Quistis woke Seifer and they proceeded to the normal passenger's cabin exit. When they exited the train they were immediately confronted by a man dressed in a black suit.
"Are you Seifer Johnson?" The stranger asked looking at Seifer.
"Yeah, that's me." Seifer said, gritting his teeth at the use of his hated cover name. The stranger turned to Quistis before saying,
"Then you're Quistis Wood?" Quistis nodded her head as she smiled at her own cover name. She rather liked hers. Her smile widened. At least it was better than Seifer's. "This way please." The stranger, obviously their pick-up, said walking expecting them to follow. "The vice president Mr. Montgomery sent me to bring you to the estate. You may call me Tony." They followed the man to the parking lot. A driver stepped out of a black limousine and took their bags and placed them in the trunk. Seifer and Quistis climbed into the black car sitting next to each other. "Mr. Montgomery would have come himself but he was called into an urgent meeting."
"Of course." Seifer said. "He's a busy man." They were all silent for the remainder of the short ride to the presidential estate. When they arrived Tony motioned for them to follow him into the big building. The estate was shaped like any other building, very bland and unremarkable to look at. What made it different from all of the other buildings in Dollet was its size. The white building was in the center of a grassy field that was a good 2 miles wide. And of course the fact that it had a barbed wall and guards made it different too. Actually the security looked pretty tight. Seifer had to wonder how an assassin could have made it in undetected. He made a mental note to talk to Quistis about the security later.
When they entered the building they were confronted by a man in his early twenties. He was dressed in blue jeans, a t-shirt, and he had spiked brown hair. He didn't look like anything Seifer would have expected of an employee of the president.
"You must be Seifer and Quistis." He said happily. "I'll take it from her Tony." He said waving his hand in dismissal to the man.
"Yes sir." Was all their pick-up said before he turned and left.
"Hi. I'm Eric, vice president Montgomery is my uncle, so I'm going to show you around in his place. He sends his apologies but he had a very urgent meeting to attend."
"Am I allowed to ask what the meeting is about?" Seifer asked trying to sound like a curious college student.
"I'd love to tell you, but I don't know either. My uncle doesn't tell me much about his work. Now if you'll come this way I'll show you to your rooms." They followed Eric through he estate. Up stairways, down halls, left, right, turns. Seifer tried to remember which way they'd gone but he whole place was a maze and he was soon lost.
"How do you find your way around here?" He asked, frustrated by his lost sense of direction.
"It takes a while to get use to. The architect who built the estate was a lover of mazes, show in his work huh? He designed the garden in the back to, as a maze of course. What's remarkable about it is that it's designed is such a way that no matter what way you go you see every sculpture and flower before you exit the garden. No ones sure how he did it, my uncle has people working on that."
"Your just full of facts aren't you?" Quistis said a half smile on her face.
"Yeah, well I'm on duty. I'm much more fun to be around at when at night, when I'm off." He said winking at Quistis. Seifer growled deep in his throat. He didn't care who hit on Quistis but he was supposed to be her boyfriend. 'Hyne this is going to be a long mission' he thought. Eric threw up his hands in mock protest. "Hey I was talking about clubs. Don't get the wrong idea." He laughed as he continued to lead them on. They walked in comfortable silence for a bit before Eric turned to Seifer. "You know you're not exactly what I expected."
"Oh?" Seifer said, one eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, al the other politic majors were scrawny little nerds who couldn't lift five pounds if they're life depended on it. And you, you're in shape. It's weird."
"So because I like politics I have to be scrawny and weak?" Eric shook his head, that's not what he'd meant.
"No, it's just unusual."
"Your not what I expected of a vice president' nephew either."
"Why?"
"You're wearing jeans and a T-shirt, I figured you'd wear a suit or something professional looking."
"Yeah, well, today was my day off, I was called and I didn't have time to change." Quistis walked behind the two, bored to tears. Did guys always have such pointless conversations? You look strange, you're in shape. Boring. "By the way you brought a suit right?"
"A suit?"
"Yeah, you'll need it to sit in on the meetings. Don't tell me you didn't bring one." He said when he saw Seifer's eyes go wide.
"Shit." Seifer muttered under his breath. Quistis hide a smile. And here Seifer was sure he'd thought of everything.
"I'll take that as a no. I'll see if I can find you something. Oh, here are your rooms." They were in a long hallway lined with doors. "Quistis yours I here on the left and Seifer's is right across from you on my right. Get settled in. Dinner is at 8:00. I'll pick you up and show you they way and I'll see what I can do about getting you a map of the estate.
"Thanks." Seifer said, they really needed a map if they were going to find their man. Or woman, he reminded himself. He nodded to Quistis before he entered his new domain.
