Irvine paused as if waiting for someone to tell him to continue. He looked to Squall, but Squall was still sitting by the radar, not making eye contact with anyone. Now Angelo had found his way into the bridge and was sitting by Squall. Squall seemed to be mesmerized by the beloved pooch of his lost love and continued to pet it and scratch his ears, looking totally helpless. Selphie suddenly shot a look to Irvine and he cleared his throat.
Irvine then continued his speech, "What if they were not on a ship, but rather on land near where ships dock? A ship could have been pulling out while you were on the phone with Seifer and it blew its horn loud enough to hear. I believe we should start checking ports for any suspicious behavior, who knows we could find something very useful."
Squall looked up and nodded with a small grin, something not usually seen on his face. "Irvine that's a great idea! We're sure to find something! Selphie, go for Balamb, they had to have been there at one time to take Rinoa away!" Squall got up from his chair and went to go stand by Selphie.
Zell was overjoyed by the news, but when he saw Quistis slip out of the room unexpectedly he silently started to follow her. He saw her in the hallway by the phone and picked up the receiver. Zell continued to watch crouched down behind a wall. Then he listened to her conversation.
"Yea it's me Quistis. They've decided to go check Balamb." A pause. "They don't know where to start, but Balamb is a pretty good hunch. But that's all I can say at this time, I must go now." She then hung up the phone.
Zell was perturbed by this phone call and was not going to wait around for any more evidence. He truly believed that Quistis was involved in some evil plot and needed to confront her. He stood up and walked toward Quistis, and stood in her way.
"There a problem Zell?" Quistis said looking down at him. She folded her arms in front of her.
"Quistis, who were you just talking to on the phone just now? I thought I heard your voice." Zell tried to make it seem as though he was not following her, also checking to see if she would lie about being on the phone.
"I was just calling Cid to let him know what was going on. How our journey was progressing. Have any other questions Zell?" She emphasized the other in her question, then strolled away back to the bridge.
Zell looked at her carefully and then walked back himself. Upon his entrance he shot Irvine a look and Irvine nodded and said in jest, "So...What were you two doing out there?"
Looking over at Quistis, Zell awaited the answer she would provide. Would she deny what she had just told to be true, or make up a new riddle for them all to ponder.
"Oh not much," Quistis said covering herself up, "I just had a little business on the phone with Cid, you know to tell him our progress, he asked me to before we left."
Squall looked over at her, "He asked you to? Why would he do that?"
"Well so he can know about any information of course! In case he needs to get in touch with us."
"But he told me to call him," Squall said with a little look of inquiry on his face.
"Well, surely that must mean that he wanted two opinions, I mean, right?"
Selphie broke the silence that was created when she landed the ship. "Come on everybody! Its time to find Rinoa!"
They all descended off the ship and spilt up to find more information. Squall and Zell went to the harbor immediately, Irvine and Selphie went to the Inn, and Quistis, well, no one knows where Quistis went.
There was a man fishing by the harbor, he seemed to be a sailor on the large ship docked at the harbor. At this time of year the sailors would stay for weeks at the same port, catching the sun, and doing quaint little errands for the people of the town.
Zell spoke first, "Excuse me sir? Can I ask you a few questions about a missing person?"
The sailor looked up at him and put down his fishing rod, "Sure, you can ask me anything you want. You guys with the police?"
Squall shook his head, "It's my wife and unborn child that are missing, they were kidnapped 2 weeks ago. Do you remember any suspicious activity?"
"I'm so sorry to hear about your wife, lemme see... Two weeks ago eh? No, I'm sorry there haven't been ships around for a while, none that have left anyway. You know the train has been running constantly, perhaps they got away that way."
Zell asked, "So no suspicious people at all?"
"Well something weird did happen, although I don't think it has anything to do with your wife. I came back from the Inn one day and I saw these two divers come out of the water, it was weird because my friend had never seen them go under. You know how it is though, people fall asleep. It just struck me as odd 'cuz there's really nothing to look at down there."
Squall nodded, "Yea, I do see how that is odd, but your right, I don't think it has anything to do with Rinoa. Perhaps they were marine biologists or something. Thank you very much for your time sir."
"Oh you are very welcome, I hope you find her soon."
Squall then proceeded to walk away, Zell said goodbye to the man and caught up. Sighing, Squall looked at the sky, he had no idea how to find me.
Zell said, trying to get his friend to say anything, "I guess this means we gotta go look at the train station now huh?"
Squall nodded, and then found the others. The others had no news to share with him. Zell's mom had seen nothing, the Innkeepers, the clerk at the store; no one had seen anything. It seemed to Squall for the first time ever, that Balamb had been somewhat quiet with no bad crimes occurring whatsoever.
The group tried to be in high spirits, to get Squall in one as well, but it was hard for him to stop thinking about everything that Seifer could do to his love. How many sadistic ways Seifer could and would hurt a person. They would have to just keep looking, and off they went to Timber.
