Chapter 10

A Dangerous Mission part II

"General Caraway?!" Seifer cried shocked.

Quistis looked at him mutely and nodded looking away gravely.

"Does Rinny know?" Seifer asked more calm.

"Not yet Squall's going to tell her in a little while, then there going to let us know."

Quistis said solemnly.

"Whoa! This whole mission is based on how Rinoa takes this?" Seifer asked shocked.

"Yes."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Squall what's this all about?" Rinoa asked giggling as Squall led her onto the beach.

"I want to show you something." Squall said with a glint in his eye.

They climbed a little hill, and sat down there.

"Wait a few minutes, …there." Squall said pointing to the horizon.

It was a beautiful sunrise, with pink and yellow clouds surrounding the ominous glow.

"Oh Squall its beautiful!" Rinoa gasped, as she leaned against his chest (ahhhhhhh).

"I wish we could stay here forever." She sighed.

"I know me too, but Rin I have some bad news for you." Squall said bitterly.

"Oh Squall don't ruin the moment, what ever it is it can wait." Rinoa said.

"Actually it cant, Seifer and Quistis lives depend on it." Squall said turning Rinoa

around to face him.

"There mission is to take down Dollots new Mayor."

"So?"

"The Mayor is a complete dictator, and needs to be stopped, but if he refuses to stop

we will attack him."

"Squall what's this got to do with me?"

"The Mayor is, well the Mayor…"

"Just say it Squall!"

"Your father."

"My…my father?" Rinoa asked quietly.

"I'm so sorry Rin but we will try our hardest not to hurt him." Squall tried to say

comfortingly.

"I…I understand its okay." Rinoa said biting her lip.

"Thank you Rin." Squall said kissing her forehead and pulling his cell phone out,

"Nida tell Quistis to go ahead with the mission as planned."

"So you guys were just waiting for me?" Rinoa asked with a smile on her lips.

"Yes actually," Squall said replying coolly.

"You are a good commander." Rinoa said giggling as she put her arms around Squalls neck.

"No I'm not, because now I'm turning my phone off to spend the rest of my morning with

you," Squall said pulling Rinoa into his lap, gazing back at the beautiful morning.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Lets go team, remember we have to give him a chance to give up first okay." Quistis

said for the hundredth time.

"Hyne Quis, you seem real nervous." Seifer said concerned.

"Its just that I don't like killing someone who kind of helped us with fighting the

sorceress.

"Its okay Quisty, if it gets that bad just get behind me and I'll do the honor for

you." Seifer said holding Quistis's hand.

"Thanks Seifer, I'm really glad you're here." She replied with a small smile.

"Of course, likewise." Seifer said grinning, " lets go kick some Caraway ass."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"its precisely 13:00 hours and we are entering the Mayors estate." Seifer whispered

into his microphone.

"Ready Quis?"

"Ready as I'll ever be for this mission."

*Crash*

"Surrender Caraway we have this place surrounded." Quistis yelled as they broke into

the manor.

*Evil laughter*

"So you little SeeD's think you can stop me do you?" A voice said from the smoke.

"Caraway we are giving you one chance to surrender or else we will attack." Quistis

said with gritted teeth.

"Who sent these pathetic commands?" Caraway barked.

"That is none of your concern are you going to surrender or not?" Quistis asked

one last time.

"What do you think?" Caraway said with a evil smirk, he pulled out a gun and shot

at Quistis.

"Stand down he's armed…." She croaked out before she almost hit the ground.

"Quistis!" Seifer yelled catching her as she fell, "what happened? How could you get

shot? Please stay awake. I'm begging you!" Seifer cried rocking Quistis in his arms.

"Seifer, get him, take him down." Quistis said hoarsely, putting a hand on his face,

"do it for me…." She said before she fell unconscious.

"Cura." Seifer said, gently putting her down, "I hope this will help till we get back

to garden, Quisty and don't worry I'll get that bastard." Seifer said gritting his teeth

and running the way Caraway went.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THE MISSION WENT WRONG?" Squall yelled into the phone.

"Squall calm down!" Rinoa snapped, "You're not helping any."

"Fine just get back soon!" Squall finished into the receiver slamming it down.

"Squall dear what's wrong?" Rinoa asked when he hung up.

"Quistis's been shot." Squall said sternly.

"No! WERE IS SHE GET HER BACK WHO'S WITH HER?" Rinoa started yelling.

"Rinoa! Now you calm down." Squall said giving her a hug, "Seifer's with her I know

he'll take care of her."

"Squall, you never trusted him before, why do you now?" Rinoa asked surprised.

"I don't trust easily, but Seifer may be cocky sometimes, but he is trustworthy, I

would trust him." Squall finally said.

"Oh Squall!" Rinoa said giving him a big hug, "Your trusting more people I'm so happy!"

"Rinoa… quit your going to ruin my mean image." Squall said fixing his suit.

"To bad, everyone can see how much a softie you can be when your with me." Rinoa said,

silencing Squall with a deep kiss.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Caraway!" Seifer yelled into the mansion.

"SeeD's leave my house or you will regret the consequences." Caraway's voice boomed,

thru the house.

"No you don't." Seifer said angrily thru gritted teeth.

Seifer continued to follow the voice.

"I'm warning you turn around or you will die." Caraways voice boomed again.

~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~

"Where's Seifer?" Quistis asked when she revived.

"We don't know captain, he said to bring you out of the manor and he ran after Caraway."

Nida replied.

"Oh no, Caraway is mad he's got to get out of that house, radio him right away!"

Quistis said worried.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Seifer…come in…Seifer?" a crackling voice said in Seifer's earpiece.

"What?" Seifer asked annoyed.

"Quistis says to get out of the manor." the Nida replied.

"No…I'm not leaving till I get to Caraway!" Seifer replied roughly.

"SEIFER!" Quistis yelled.

Seifer winced in pain as the yelling in his ear seized.

"Quistis I know what I'm doing okay!" he cried and turned off his ear piece.

"Damnit!" Quistis cursed.

"What's wrong?" a Nida asked.

"He turned his ear piece off." Quistis said angrily staring at the manor

~ "Seifer for gods sake get out of there I have a bad feeling."~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~

"SeeD I warned you now pay the consequences." Caraway's voice said one last time.

"Come out Caraway you chicken!" Seifer yelled.

*Five*Four*Three*- a computer voice started saying.

~ "SHIT! This is a trap! Caraway planned it the whole time!"~ Seifer thought

frantically as he looked for a way out.

*two*one*

*BOOM*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"SEIFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Quistis yelled as the flames enveloped the house.

~ "No, Seifer…"~ she thought as tears came down her face.
