A/N: Uhh… to solve mass confusion, somewhere in this story I mention a penetrating grapnel. For those of you who don't know what that is it's that thing batman uses to 'fly' to the top of a building or swing from skyscrapers. It like hooks on and your little ropey thing just reels you up to where it got hooked. Okay, hope that made sense, lol.
Chapter 3 – Resistance… the struggle of it all.
"Squall... Squall" someone called.
Squall and Rinoa were brooding in their own mysterious worlds. Rinoa stared her time away into Squall as he kept looking toward the light above him. "Squall!"
"What?" He said sitting up and looking toward Zell.
Rinoa came back to reality when Squall moved from his seat and she immediately noticed it was time to put her guard back up. She pulled her hood forward and looked away.
"Yo, the train should stop any moment now. We'd better move" Zell reported. Rinoa walked over to an exit in her hurry to leave.
"We've arrived to Esthar Air station. We have arrived to Esthar Air station. Please remember your belongings and have a nice day" The train announced.
The doors opened and Rinoa quickly made her move away. Squall looked toward her, watching her cape blow behind her.
"Who was that person you were sitting across from?" Zell asked as people entered the train.
"...! ...Shit, that was Rinoa Heartilly!" He said to himself in a shock. "Call the others. We've found her! I'm gonna catch up." Squall told him and ran out the train doors.
It was windy; his hair was blowing in front of his face. He looked toward the exit of the station and saw her fading away in the distance. The others caught up with Squall. He couldn't believe he let her get away when she was right in front of his face.
"Squall! What are you waiting for?!" Quistis scolded at him just standing there. She ran ahead and everyone followed.

What a fool I am! I must position myself away from people. Rinoa hurried down the dark streets of Esthar. She knew she was now being followed.
"Over there! She's gonna turn on that corner!" Selphie yelled as she was fast ahead of everyone. Irvine stood in position and with his night vision on; he targeted Rinoa with his shotgun. He smiled with confidence.
"See yah…" He shot the bullet.
"Ah…" Rinoa let out a short moan and held her suddenly bloody waist as she ran. Going to the closest high tower, she ran around back. Selphie's feet slid on the ground forward when she turned corner. She was on her tail.
Rinoa looked toward the roof and released her penetrating grapnel. She scaled up the structure and jumped on the roof when it released. Landing on her feet she got on her knees and she crawled over to the ledge, looking down the ground. Ugh…
Selphie having just reached the back of the tower was ready to cast Stop. "Oh no…" She said turning around and searching for the wanted girl. She continued talking "Where are you?! …You can't hide! …Show yourself!"
The others caught up with exhaustion. "Where is she?" asked Zell.
"I don't know she disappeared here. Where's commander?"
"He said he's going to take another route. He gave me a communicator; to contact him if something is up" Zell told her.
Rinoa moved to the center of the roof and clutched her stomach. I need a plan…I need a plan to Caraway.
"Yo, Squall." Zell said speaking into the communicator.
"Report status" Squall spoke back.
"She disappeared behind a hotel. It's a dead end"
"Alright, whatever… Search the perimeter. I think I'm on something. I'll get back to you later, over and out." He turned off his communicator.
Squall placed his hand in his pockets. He stood from a walkway bridge, looking out to the distance… the moon shines on a roof top where Rinoa's weak body lays.

A/N: Umm… yeah this is the best I can come up with for this chapter. Wanna hear about her outfit? If ya do, read on. She wears a black trench coat that has a hood. Note that she hardly pulls off her hood. Her sleeves, as they go from shoulder to wrist it gets larger. She has tons of useful pockets for her easy carry weapons, medications, and stuff. That coat reaches to the floor. Under that coat she has her black casual fit tank top. No belly shown here! Going down she wears, coincidently, two belts just like Squally-poo! Her bottom is a black Capri. Her little feet are covered by a black pair of timberlands. It's all good. Oh, double piercing on both ears down at bottom. Well that's how I portray her if you were interested. I'm gonna go draw her now, hehe.
