Chapter 7:

Zell sat on the bed and watched as Squall paced up and down in the room.

"Where is he?! We all agreed, two hours and we would meet here! Well, it's been well over that now!"

Zell shrugged, not knowing what to say for once.

"Maybe...maybe he met up with a monster or something. I don't know." was the only answer he could give Squall.

Squall sat down on the opposite bed.

"It's not too late to go searching for him." he said with a yawn.

"Squall, we have been fighting monsters for hours. I'm tired. Maybe Irvine is someplace safe...hopefully."

Zell's eyes couldn't stay open, and he drifted off to sleep. Squall however, got up off the bed and looked out the window, wondering where Irvine Kinneas could be.
