When they arrived at the scene the girl had already been taken to Balamb Garden infirmary, which now was a hospital with many doctors and nurses, one of which was Rinoa, who after the break studied to become a nurse. Squall spotted Xu out of the corner of his eye; she was standing with Irvine and Selphie giving instructions.

"Damn, Squall you look like shit ran over twice. You pull a all nighter again?" Irvine asked

Squall ignored the comment and turned to X u.

"What do you know so far?" Squall asked in an authoritative voice

"There are no signs of a struggle. She was fully clothed when we found her. No foot prints, no car tracks. She was dripping went when we got here. And she is suffering from hypothermia. Which tells us she washed up from the ocean. Xu replied

"Is she alive?" Squall asked skeptically

"Yes...but barely, she also appears to be in a coma." Xu answered back

"Who found her and why is Zell here" Squall asked

Irvine and Selphie cut into the conversation at that point to Squalls annoyance.

"Hello.... We're here too.!!!!" Selphie whined

"We can answer you that question. She was found by a couple of Zells martial arts students, thus why Zell is here." Irvine explained in a matter of factly tone

"When was she found?" Squall replied

"8:30 was when Garden was notified." Irvine answered back

"Who are the students and where are they now?" Squall asked

"We don't know, Quistis was the last to speak to them." Xu cut in

That is when Quistis approached and went to question Xu herself because she was getting no information out of any of the people around her. Squall now openly getting angry due to lack of information and answers. But most of all due to lack of sleep. Began to raise his voice.

"So what has been done so far." Quistis asked

"Where are the students who discovered the girl, Quistis." Squall questioned angrily

"I sent them back to Garden with Zell to wait outside your office. Figuring you would like to question them when you returned. They could be of no more help here. They we're only getting in the way. And Squall what did I say about that attitude of yours. There is no reason to be angry." Quistis replied iritatdely

"I am getting angry because I am shocked at the lack of thinking around here. Has anyone even thought of going and asking any of the Balamb towns people if they knew her? Has anyone checked the missing persons files to see if she is listed? Have any of you looked in the Balamb Garden student database to see if she was a student or fellow seed at the school? I'm appalled at all of the sloppiness." Squall lectured

" Squall we we're more concerned about the girls safety and the state of her health, then her identity. We figured that should come first before all else, so calm down and lets head back to garden." Quistis stated

"Xu?" Squall said

"Sir." Xu replied

" The first thing I want you to do when you get back to Garden is get the girls blood and finger prints and check the student and seed data bases and see if you find any matches. If not I want you to go into town and see if anyone knew her. And if you still get nothing I want you to go and contact Trabia Garden and Galbadia Garden and have them check there data bases. And tell them to check the missing persons files of the cities around them. Tell them to contact us as soon as they have any information." Squall ordered

With one final salute Xu and a team of low ranking seeds filed into one car While Squall, Quistis, Irvine, and Selphie got into another.

"Do you want me to head to the infirmary first to check out the girls status or do you want to go question the two students? Quistis asked passively

"How about you head to the infirmary and I'll question the students." Squall offered

"You can't avoid her forever Squall." Quistis stated

"Avoid who the girl? Why would I avoid her? Squall asked naively

"Don't play the part of a fool Squall, it doesn't suit you well. You know exactly who I meant.......Rinoa." Quistis replied crossly

"Ok here we go." Squall muttered to himself

Irvine and Selphie sat quietly in the back seat of the car not saying a word. Both of them knew that Squall and Quistis we're about to get into a fight, and the safe thing would be to sit back and become invisible. They both knew when to butt out of a situation. And we're both used to seeing it, due to the fact that Quistis and Squall fights happened almost everyday and it didn't matter who was around.

"She deserves an explanation Squall! I mean you left her at the altar for Hyne's sakes. You made her suffer the most humiliating thing that can happen to a person! You walked away without a single word or explanation for your actions. It's been 3 years, it's time to go and clean up the mess that you made. Because im sure as hell not going to continue to defend you against her. Telling her she shouldn't hate you because I don't believe that. I think she should hate you because you ripped her heart out and didn't even tell her why! As much as I love and care about you, I have to tell you this for your own good because ever since the day you left her at the alter you have been bitter and grouchy and you've closed yourself off to the world. Quistis yelled

" I mean when's the last time you even called Ellone or talked to your father Laguna." Quistis trailed off

"He is not my father! Squall said bitterly

"And don't get me started on that situation, that lecture is for another day." Quistis warned

By this time they had arrived back to the school and pulled into the parking lot. Quistis and Squall we're still yelling at each other when the car stopped. Irvine and Selphie had made a hasty exit due to the fact that they we're about to be dragged into the argument. Squall now to angry to even continue the argument began to walk away from Quistis.

"Don't walk away from me im not finished!!!" Quistis screamed across the parking lot

"You are now!" Squall yelled right back

"FINE!! I'll go to the infirmary!! But im not going to cover for you to Rinoa when she asks why you didn't come yourself!!!!" Quistis yelled as she headed off in the opposite direction

"Whatever!!!" Squall yelled in a now empty parking lot
