"Squall where are you going!?" Quistis yelled after Squall after he had thrown the phone down and burst out of his room. She quickly closed the door behind him and started after him. "What are you doing!?"
"SELPHIE?" Squall screamed through the corridors of the dorm rooms. "SELPHIE GET OUT HERE NOW!" People had started looking outside their doors, watching Squall run and scream down the corridor. Their quiet friend now was now disobeying orders screaming and running down the hallway, and they had no idea why.
Irvine was found outside the library, having a conversation with Zell. Squall raced up to them quickly, and jumped in front of Irvine, even though he was in the middle of a sentence.
"Irvine, tell me where Selphie is, I need to know right away. It's about Rinoa."
"Howdy Squall, I'm not quite sure where Selphie is, she might be out decorating for the Garden Festival Committee."
"Thanks," Squall then took off down the hallway leaving his friends behind, in wonder.
Quistis turned to them, "He heard something on the phone, I don't know what it was. But when the call was broken he just started running screaming for Selphie. His face dropped and everything, you wouldn't think that Selphie could have done some... no, that's too ridiculous."
Irvine looked sternly at her, "Your damn right its ridiculous, Selphie loves Rinoa, she wouldn't do anything like that to her."
"Then why is Squall running around, screaming, looking for her? Seems a little fishy to me," Quistis said fixing her hair, then she continued not to make eye contact with them by then looking at her nails.
Zell looked at her, "You saying that is a little fishy Quisty. Don't go saying stuff like that all right? She is our friend, in case you've forgotten."
Irvine started walking in the direction Squall had just run off to, "Especially when its Selphie." Zell followed him shortly after. They left Quistis standing there with her arms crossed.
From what I could hear, it sounded like Seifer was yelling at his troops to start the boat. How could I not have known I was in a boat? Well, it didn't rock like a lot of boats, so that must have meant it was in a pretty calm area. Seifer knew it now, Squall was gonna find him, and make him pay for what he did. There wouldn't be any more phone calls now, I wouldn't be able to hear my husband's sweet voice until he came for me. I chuckled to myself, how did Seifer expect to run away? Why was he leaving where he was? Squall would find him, I just knew it.
The boat moved and creaked, sending chills up my spine, I heard people bustling about the ship. I crawled back into the corner in the dark, trying to hide myself from the prying eyes of the guards. Whispering to my tummy, I told my baby that its daddy was coming soon, and we would be free at last. Even though we hadn't been there for very long, it felt like an eternity.
"Selphie! There you are, I need to talk to you! Go get the Ragnarok ready! I need you to fly me around the ocean, I'm looking for a boat. Rinoa's probably inside. Come on I need you to do it now!"
Selphie jumped up at the sound of Rinoa's name, "Of course I'll help you Squall! Anything to save Rinoa. I'll go get it prepped, meet me there in a half an hour."
"We want to go too, Squall," Irvine and Zell appeared there, both eager to go with them.
Squall looked over at them, and nodded. "Good you guys, I'll need all the help I can get. We leave soon, bring your best weapons."
Flying over the ocean, they were all eager to find the ship first. Quistis had also come aboard, and seemed to be looking contently off the side of the Ragnarok. Selphie didn't know about what she had said, and neither did Squall, but Zell and Irvine were each keeping an eye on her, for anymore suspicious behavior. Using their radar, they were sure not to miss the ship... which was why it was so weird when the didn't see it after a few hours.
"What the hell!" Squall screamed when the search had been extensive for him to accept. "Where the hell are they!? We've searched almost this entire ocean, and we can't find them! The Deep Sea Research Center has been undisturbed, no suspicious wakes, the ocean is almost completely calm! Where could he have taken her? I know for a fact it was a ship's horn! I can't be wrong!"
They all sat and thought about the situation. There was no evidence, no clues that would point them in my direction. Squall put his head in his hands and sat in a seat by the radar motionless. All was silent on the ship except for the sound of the engine. The ship floated almost as a cloud with no direction, just drifted over the surface of the ocean, the seemingly endless ocean.
Irvine started pacing in the corridor, the silence filled with tension was getting to him. He couldn't stand watching Quistis stand there smugly, pretending to look out the window in despair. Perhaps it was just his imagination, or maybe there was something underneath the surface that he could not see. He felt awkward, even though these people were his good friends. Going through such terrible ordeals as they had brought people closer together. He wanted so desperately help his quiet friend Squall.
Suddenly something clicked in his mind, he snapped his fingers. The sound seemed to echo off the walled silence that had been cast in the room. Squall looked up at him, his face still in his hands, Zell had stopped punching silently at the air, Selphie had looked back, and he had even got the attention of Quistis. Quistis looked at him with one arm crossed in front of her, and the other touching her face.
"What is it Irvine?" Selphie asked, "You think of something?"
"Yea, it would be the explanation of why Squall heard the ship horn."
Squall looked over to him questioningly.
"Well go ahead Irvine tell us!" Zell finally said.
"Well, what if they weren't really on a ship at all?" Irvine started.
