Chapter 9: Trabian Traitor.
~*~Selphie's POV~*~
After dropping them all off, we swung back to Esthar to drop Squall and Rinoa back. They both got out and Esthar officials boarded.
"Hiya Selphie."
"Hi sir Laguna!" I piped as Seifer took the co-pilot's seat and scanned the controls.
"Right to go Selphie?"
"Yep!" I raised it from the ground, knowing Seifer was studying my every move, wanting to know how it works.
"You wanna try Seifer?" I looked at him, feeling his curiosity and he nodded. I flicked a switch, holding it steady as he took the controls in front of him. I nodded and he continued to fly it, amazed by it. I settled back as he landed right outside Balamb.
"See ya sir Laguna!" I waved and bounded onto the lift beside Seifer. I scooped my bag up, following him down the ramp. We stepped back out of range and watched it take off.
"Thanks for letting me have a go at flying."
"Hey, you wanted to have a go. I knew you were watching what I did." I smiled and set out for Balamb. There would be two letters in our shared room at the hotel, explaining our part of the mission. I paid for the room, as Squall instructed and we headed up to the room. It was a beautiful room and I remembered Squall's apology that we couldn't get two rooms because the rest were taken. I scooped up the envelope addressed to me and dumped my bag, sinking down into a chair to read it.
Selphie, Your part in this mission is important. You, as you always have been, are very good at talking information out of people. You are to get as much info as you can about the topic I told you earlier in the briefing. I can't write it here, for lack of security. Seifer will be dealing with the galbadian influence in Balamb, you are to help him 'remove' those people, but you must also extract information at every chance you have. There are several bars I would like you to attend. You must dress very exposingly, but carry a concealed weapon or two for safety.
Good luck and Hyne's speed,
Squall.
I grinned and opened my bag, drawing out the dress I'd thought I'd never get the chance to wear.
"Hey, where're you going?"
"To change, I need to go out tonight."
"Right, I get to kill people and you get to go to clubs."
"You're meant to come with me and I go with you, so we get to do both." I closed the door and peeled my clothes off for a refreshing shower. I pulled on the dress and smoothed it down over my panties. I loved this dress, it was barely a dress, more like an overlength top. I curled my hair into those lovely large spiral curls and applied make up easily before sinking down to slide my feet into the biggest pair of heels I had. I buckled the strap around my ankles and stood. Seifer was standing by the couch dressed in tight fitting jeans and an open fluttering blue shirt. His hair was spiked up and he was fidgeting with his necklace.
"Heya, you look good." I spoke as I leant against the doorframe. He turned and gaped. Just the reaction I was looking for.
"You too." He finally managed and I moved towards him, extending my hand to him. He took it and we headed out. The club we made it to was called 'starshine' and it was jumping inside. I smiled up at Seifer.
"Dinner now or after?" His voice was soft as his lips brushed against my ear.
"Now would be best, can't work on an empty stomach." I grinned up at him as I spoke and he laughed and nodded as we headed for a table. One problem, sitting down without completely exposing myself. I managed it, but still, it could have been bad. Seifer shot a look at the people in the club and winced.
"There are so many galbadian's here. I didn't think to bring my gunblade."
"You need to learn to fight with your fists." I grinned at him and he sank back in his chair, nodding absently. Dinner came and went and now, here comes the hard part.
"Enjoy yourself. You get to party, I have to pump people for info."
"If you want a hand, come get me." I nodded and slipped into the dancing, quickly summing up people. The problem was, the people that most likely had the info, weren't all that good looking.
"Oh well, here's goes, get some attention on me and I got a head start." I spoke in a whisper before I started to dance, flaunting the fact that my dress had a very low neckline and a very high hem. Instantly I was flocked with guys, the girls forgotten. I spotted a couple of cute girls and winked at them. They swanned over to join me, giving me the advantage of talking as I danced entwined with one of them.
"Hey, I'm Selphie."
"I know who you are. You're Selphie Tilmitt. You undercover?"
"Yeah, I need to get some info from these guys, who are you?"
"Adrianna, I'm a SeeD from Trabia, remember?"
"Right, well, you and me are going to meet in the last stall in the toilets in ten minutes and I'll bring my partner. I'll discuss it with you then." I untangled myself from her and she slinked away, leaving me to dance with the other girls. I caught Seifer's eye and nodded towards the girls toilets. He nodded and mouthed to me 'last stall'. I nodded and he disappeared into the crowds. I entered and pushed the door open. Seifer was holding a hand over Adrianna's mouth.
"Let her go, she's a Trabian SeeD." Seifer let go and Adrianna rolled her shoulders back.
"Right, so why are you two stepping into my mission?"
"Your mission? We were sent here by Commander Leonhart, I knew nothing of other SeeD's being in here."
"Our headmaster sent us in to break up the smuggling ring that's here."
"Well, you can tell your headmaster that the smuggling ring is in Esthar, Balamb, Timber, Dollet and Galbadia. We are in every city, attempting to find things out. Your information would be very useful."
"I'll meet you here tomorrow night with all my info after I put a call through to Trabia and tell them."
"Good, Seifer, let's head back, I'm exhausted." Seifer nodded, offering me his hand. I took it and nodded to Adrianna, who saluted me until I was out of sight. I froze and turned to look at Seifer.
"That wasn't a Trabian SeeD salute."
"Right, you head back to the hotel, I'll bring you a little companion soon." Seifer smirked and I nodded, knowing he would need the door open as soon as he got there and ran back to the hotel. I pushed our door open, once I got it unlocked and waited with the door open. He came in, dragging a struggling form. I slammed the door closed and tucked the card into my panties, the safest place as he released her.
"Selphie! You never said you intended harm."
"Long live Trabia." I spoke softly and Adrianna looked confused.
"What?"
"Hah! Gotcha bitch. Any Trabian knows the anthem and a Trabian salute looks nothing like the shit thing you gave me." Seifer looked at me in surprise as I advanced on her and placed a hand until her chin, bringing her gaze up to mine.
"Now tell me, what part do you play in this smuggling ring because Trabia isn't allowed to send SeeD's into Balamb, not without Balamb knowing and Squall said nothing about SeeD's being anywhere in the vicinity."
"I won't say a word."
"Seifer, I'm gonna be here a while, do you want to go out and buy me a bottle of hair dye?"
"Where's the door key?" I drew it out and handed it to him. He took it and bent to whisper in my ear.
"Black ok?" I nodded and he left, leaving me alone with the person that dared to impersonate my home garden.
"You didn't think did you? A SeeD from Trabia that I didn't know? You didn't even take the time to discover what Trabia's salute looks like. You are a very poor worker. You should have tried Galbadia, but then again, Seifer would have known, wouldn't he? You thought I'd be the weaker of the pair?" I pushed her down into a chair and straddled a wooden chair backwards, laying my arms on the back and resting my chin on them as I contemplated her.
AN: It was longer, right? Review please!?!
