"Thank you, I hope you have a wonderful time in Deling. Good Day." The conductor said tipping his hat at me with a goofy grin on his face.
"Of course, she will, she's with me!" Irvine placed his hand around my shoulder.
"Get off!" I cried. Irvine just laughed. "Remember you are dropping me off and then you are hiking your cowboy butt back to the train station." Irvine rolled his eyes.
"You weren't kidding when you said you work alone were you?" Irvine asked, already knowing the answer.
"There's the hotel, I can take it from here." I held out my hand for my weapons bag.
"No, first you get to your hotel room, and I give you the rest of you're materials." This man was impossible to get rid of. If he pushed me any farther, I just might have to cock it. I walked into the hotel with Irvine in toe.
"Hello, welcome to the Deling City Hotel.do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, it should be under Rae." I stated calmly. I realized I wasn't the one who made the reservation, but I didn't show my instant panic on my face.
"I'm sorry there, is no reservation under Rae." I heard Irvine laugh behind me.
"Try under Kinneas." Now I showed my panic.
"Yes, first class suite. Here is your key; it's on the fourth floor." I grabbed the key and stormed over to the elevator. How dare he do that? That man!
"You're mad aren't you?" He finally said as the elevator went up.
"How dare you?" I whispered hoarsely.
"Look, Squall told me to do it. He didn't want you to get recognized." Irvine was just probably trying to save his own ass.
"Well, tell Squall, that I won't be recognized because everyone I've been after is dead." When the elevator stopped the doors slowly opened to reveal a large man, in a grey trench coat.
"Seifer." Irvine said coolly pulling me behind him. I am 5'2' and could easily be hidden behind Irvine's tall frame. Seifer raised his eyebrow instantly noticing that I was behind him, I pulled my face into Irvine's coat so he didn't see my face.
"Got you a whore, Irvine?"
"That's none of your business."
Seifer just laughed coldly. "I think I'll take the stairs." With that Seifer walked away. When I was sure it was safe I pushed Irvine out of the elevator.
"Thanks." I whispered, not wanted to admit that I actually might have needed someone.
"No problem. Now let's get you in that room and I'll debrief you." Irvine took the key from my hand and slides the card through the lock. The red light changed to green and Irvine opened the door. --
"So basically I'm supposed to befriend him, get his trust, and get him to admit that he murdered.then murder him for justice?" Even this seemed a little.too weird for me.
"Basically." Irvine stood up from his chair and walked over to me. He held out a small box to me. I took it slowly. "It's a communicator. Squall and Zell have the other one. They want updates as much as you can give it to them." I opened the communicator; there were only two buttons which I assumed contacted one or the other.
"Fine. What if I don't check in?"
"They'll send me back here." Irvine was obviously bluffing but I didn't want to find out. "Anyways, I'm gone." He walked over to the door and was about to reach for the knob when he turned back and looked at me. "Seifer still has the knight in him, he tries to save any girl in distress.he is normally seen in the hotel bar after eight, stays there until close to one.good luck." I closed the communicator. Irvine was gone, and I was on my own. A smile crept over my face as I clutched the communicator to my chest. It was time for the hunt.
