Chapter 2
"What?!!!! We're actually helping that freak?!" Zell yelled, being the most pissed off. Everyone was in Cid's office. He had called for everyone to come to meet in his office for a new mission.
"Come on Cid! Don't you know what happened last time with Samuel?" Rinoa asked.
"Why are you complaining?! Have you forgotten that I am the headmaster and you are Seeds! How dare you question my authority?!" Cid asked, infuriated. "People hire Seeds to work and fight!"
"We all are very sorry, its just that it was such short notice." Squall said in an apologetic voice.
"I'm sorry as well, I kind of lost my cool." Cid sat down at his desk, while everyone else stood.
"You will be leaving at sundown, Samuel will explain and lay out the plan there. He will be coming to get you. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
"Squall, you are of course the leader and commander.
"Yes sir." Squall said.
"You are dismissed." Everyone saluted then left.
"Man, I can't believe he's gonna' send us out there because of some damn Samuel." Zell said, as everyone walked down the hall to the elevator.
"I do not feel like fighting." Rinoa said. Everyone arrived at the elevator and walked in.
"Guys, don't complain. Cid is right, we are Seeds, we're special forces. We have to follow orders without our input." Squall said. The elevator came to a stop and everyone walked out.
"What I don't like is the fact that we're helping a half manic and at that he's a stiff." Zell said, as everyone headed down to the cafeteria.
"There just assassins, remember that?" Quistis repeated in an annoyed voice. Everyone sat at there table.
"All of this made me hungry." Selphie said, getting up.
"We probably should eat." Squall said. Everyone got up and went in line. They came back with trays in their hands.
"He has guards over at his 'Empire' doesn't he?" Zell asked, stuffing his face with hotdogs.
"Maybe there not strong enough." Squall replied.
"He can't do anything without help." Said Irvine. "Well, we'd better go and get ready." Irvine suggested, looking at his clock.

"He's late." Zell said in an annoyed tone. "I really hate that guy man!" Zell punched the ground in anger.
"Calm down Zell." Squall said. Everyone stood outside of the front gate in the cool evening breeze, with there weapons ready. Just then, Samuel appeared from out of nowhere, wearing his same brown cloak. He covered his face with his hood.
"Sorry I was late." Samuel apologized.
"If you ask me, I was just about to leave." Zell lied.
"No one asked you." Samuel snapped.
"I don't trust him." Zell said under his breathe.
"Shall we go?" Samuel asked. Everyone nodded. Samuel chanted a spell. "Aidawotoru ichidou farawei." (A/n: This is Japanese for 'Take us faraway'. =^.^=) In a flash everyone was in Ganriki Empire. The sun was up high. They walked along the hot and sandy ground. People all over, dressed in the same way of Samuel. Huts and regular houses were everywhere. Kids playing around with their dogs stared at the outsiders, following Samuel. Men building stared also. Mothers and single women looked at the outsiders as sweat dripped from there faces.
"Man, what's up with all of these people staring?" Zell asked.
"There not used to outsiders here." Samuel said, walking as everyone followed.
"Hyne, its hot out here." Rinoa complained, taking her blue duster off.
"Alright, we are here." Samuel said, walking up the golden step, which were covered with red carpets. Two guards were outside. They opened the big and golden door. Samuel and the rest walked in. Once they arrived, it was much cooler inside. Butlers and Maids were everywhere. They were wearing royal clothes. The ceiling was far from the ground. Every wall inside was in gold.
"Wait here." Samuel said, as he entered another golden room. Two servants came up to them.
"Would you like some refreshments?" The short woman asked.
"No thanks." Squall answered, before Zell could even say anything. The woman backed away and continued standing in the corner.
"You should get of here as soon as you can." A male voice said from behind. Rinoa turned around. No one else heard him. It was one of the servants. She had a confused look on her face.
"Get out, its not safe." Before Rinoa could say anything else, Samuel came out.
"Shall we begin?" Samuel gestured for everyone to come in. Everyone walked in except for Rinoa. Squall turned around.
"What's wrong Rinoa?" Squall asked.
"N-nothing. Just tired, I guess." They both walked in. Samuel had on white silk that looked like 'Old time pharaoh-wear.' He sat down at his golden desk.
"What are we supposed to do?!" Zell asked, trying to hurry up.
"I just want you guys to patrol the area of my mansion. The assassins, they somehow now where I am. A week ago, my men reported a strange death. This person was a woman. She was found in her home, strangled. Her name was Lorenza strober. No one paid much attention to it. She didn't have any family. As the days went by, they attacked again. Every time they attacked, it was the same kind of murder. Eventually, we figured that they killed every time the moon is full. You understand that the full moon will be tomorrow. I need you to guard me."
"So basically, if they come again, kill them?" Squall asked.
"Yes. Make sure you are ready by tomorrow. My servants shall show you your rooms." Samuel said. A tall male came in from the room.
"Sir, do you want me to take them to their rooms?" The servant asked.
"Yes, thank you Vincent." Samuel said. He turned his chair around, looking out of his big window, into the night. Everyone followed the butler out and shut the door. That was the same butler who spoke to Rinoa before. "Here is your room." Vincent said, opening the door. The room was really huge. There were six beds for everyone. The room was really dark until Vincent turned on the dim, yellow light.
"Damn, look at all this! They got silk sheets in here!" Zell yelled. The butler left the room in a hurry.
"Well, I guess we better get to sleep for tomorrow." Quistis said, falling on the bed. "So comfy." Quistis then fell fast asleep. Everyone jumped in there beds as well. Zell turned out the lights.
*
For some one reason, Rinoa couldn't get to sleep. Those words kept repeating in her mind.
"You should get out of here as soon as you can.....It's not safe here." 'What did Vincent mean? Is Samuel the one we need to look out for? I don't get it? Maybe its just me' Rinoa thought to herself.
