Seifer woke up. Selphie, Marcos, and Caine and Minoa from the Mordian Task Force surrounded him. He felt sharp points digging into his skin. He opened his jacked to find two red roses. He sat up and stared at them.

"Was…she…" He started to ask.

"Maybe while we were out of it." Selphie cut him off.

"What's going on?" Seifer looked around. He looked at his chest. No arrow, no blood, no nothing. "Wha-I'm confused."

"You're gonna be okay, alright? You're lucky we found you or you'd be dead."

"Yeah…I wonder who would even think of…doing something so…cruel."

"That crazy Galbadian chick did it!" Marcos blurted. Selphie, Caine and Minoa stared at him.

Seifer got up. "WHAT?!"

Marcos soon found Selphie and Caine glaring at him. Selphie even kicked him in the shin. He winced. Seifer got up.

"Marcos…Mrs. Kinneas…um…Mr. Caine…just remind me to stay away from that crazy woman. I need to go…do something." Seifer ran off.

As soon as Seifer left, All eyes (and a hooded head) were fixed on Marcos.

"What did I do wrong?!" He shouted.

"YOU ASS! STAY OUT OF THIS!" Selphie shouted.

"Yeah, please stay out of anything involving Miss Angel, Mrs. Kinneas, Mr. Almasy, Minoa, and / or myself."

"Fine, but all I know is that she's nuts."

"You know nothing." Selphie said through gritted teeth. Marcos knew that Selphie was not known for such bursts of anger, and that forcing her to display such raw emotion was to, in fact, cross a VERY steady line. He quickly left. Selphie tried to calm down.

"I shouldn't have done that."

"You handled yourself nicely, I think. You must be extremely angry, yet you didn't kill him. I myself would have much trouble holding back. Of course, I'd love to get my ass beat by you…" Caine's flirting look flashed upon his face again.

"I think not. I'm married."

"But sans the ring, would you?"

"You're not my type, sorry."

Caine sighed sadly as she walked off.

"I'm never gonna score."

Then he looked up as he saw Riniah walk off.

"Yo Riniah!"

She turned around. "Yes?"

"I thought you were still on Mordia."

"I, uh, came to see how everybody was here."

"We're okay. A few problems but nothing too big."

"I see." Riniah had a strange pissed off tune to her voice now.

"Yeah."

"I have to go, Caine. See you later!" A cheery tone now rang in her voice.

"Buhbye, Sweetness!" He grinned slyly as she walked off.
