Chapter 4

Thanx u lot for helping me figure out the paragraphs!!

"What do we do?" a dark haired guy who looked about 25. "We've got no money."

"I don't know what to do." A woman of 18 said.

"Rebecca, we're lost. No funding, no new recruits. Now our plan will fail."

"Their plan?" Rinoa thought to herself, "I must find out. I'll get in the garden somehow."

She walked, as briskly as she could without making a sound. But she tripped over a rouge rock and the SeeD's heard her, and one of them pulled out a gun and fired some bullets into the bushes. Rinoa covered her head, hoping they wouldn't hit her-

But then she felt a searing pain in her leg, they had hit her. She knew she had to keep quiet, but she wanted to scream.

"Stop firing, whoever or whatever that was, they're not worth it."

They both walked off, out of the forest, they looked like they were headed for Balamb. She didn't care about them, but she had to bandage her leg and remove the bullet, and then she realized-

They were headed for Ma Dincht's house. They were going to kill her. She looked at her watch. Only 50 minutes until the garden took off again. It was a race against time. She had to hurry.

She first went to a small infirmary. She asked if anything could be done about her leg. They could remove the bullet, they said, but it would take time that Rinoa didn't have to spare.

She thought that maybe Kadowaki could help her when she got inside the garden. If.

She then ran into Ma Dincht's house, the blood still dripping down her leg, the pain getting more acute with movement. She slowly went up the stairs, and saw him again, with the two others she had seen earlier.

The woman hurled the gun across the room at Rinoa, there was obviously no ammo left in it. Rinoa ducked out the way, and she picked the gun up. It was good enough for her to use. She got out some ammo she had brought earlier, and loaded the gun. The SeeD's noticed what she had done, it was her in control now, not them.

They thought they were safe, Rinoa looked tired and weak. But they hadn't counted on her accuracy.

She picked them off, one by one, not missing once. She was surprised at herself. Maybe it was because she felt so much hatred for the three of them. She left Ma Dincht, she had to. She limped out the town and began moving towards garden stealthily.

When she got near enough, she realized there was a guard at the door, but only one, she hadn't expected so much poor security. There was no video cameras or anything like that, no alarms at all.

There wasn't a very good firing range from where she stood, so she moved closer in. She shot him, he fell down on the floor, dead. She carefully stepped over his limp body, and crossed the threshold into enemy territory.
