Disclaimer: I only own this fic and my pc... that's it.
Author's Note: Sorry for the long wait and a billion thanks for the reviews. Okay with no further ado, let's continue this fic.
Previously:
Julia: (*with a downcast eyes) Monster 143 is alive ...Roger.
Roger: what?
Odine: Very well Mrz. Julia, tell everything that you know....everything that leadz you to thiz cell ha ha hahahahhahaha! (*immediately closing the door though he forgot to take out his hand) ahhhh my hand!!!
Roger: Mrs. Julia? (*With a worried look)
Julia: Yes it's alive!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Continuation...
Roger: (*baffled) H-how....w-why? A-all our efforts.... Dang! (*hitting the wall with his fist)
Julia: ............... (*closes her eyes)
Roger: We've searched every nook and cranny, we've turned all the mountains and caves upside down just....just to look for that monster yet still we failed. Arghh DANG IT!
Julia: Lad... Don't lose hope, there's still a chance ...you're still alive; your comrades are still out there. If you and your friends will stop from trying, then that's the time you can declare that you're all a failure. Remember that always.
Roger: (*embarrassed) I'm sorry Madam.
Julia: Now if we work together....we can have a chance to get out here.
Roger: (*Nods) So....what's the plan?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Rinoa: We're halfway there Leon so hang on. Just stay close and lean against me. (*smiling)
Leon: (*feeling a bit dizzy) Thanks.
On there way to the Loire's, Rinoa notices the two men in black suit with shades looking at their way.
Rinoa: (*~Hmm what are those men doing near the Loire's Hou....) (*recognizing the people in front of the Loire's) OH MY! (*covering her mouth in shock, then she drags Leon near a close tree) Did t-they spot us?
Leon: (*He almost trip) Huh? What's wrong Rinoa?
Rinoa: (*shaking Leon's arm) Leon....see those men. (*pouting her lips)
Leon: What men?
Rinoa: (*still shaking) The two meany-looking guys at the front of Mr. Loire's house.
Leon: (*Peeps from their hiding place) Ahuh. Affirmative.
Rinoa: They're m-my d-dad's body guards. I'm sure they're here for me. What am I gonna do? (*trembling in fear) They're here to take me back to my dad. P-Please help me. I don't want to go back there. Pleaseeeeeeee... (*her eyes begging for Leon to say yes)
Leon: (*~Her eyes...reminds me of someone I knew...but who? Ahh what am I thinking again this time) Hmm... a runaway daughter eh? (*sighs) Umm... (*thinks for a while) here's the plan, but first try to calm down and act as if you don't know them. Ok?
Rinoa: (*nods) Okies. (*takes a deep breath)
Leon: (*facing Rinoa) We're going around that block so we cannot meet them. Then we're going to hang out at the café and kill some time. I'll try to contact Zell while we're there. I'll ask him to buy us some clothes and at the same time, check on the two men. Do you agree with that?
Rinoa: (*nods then he grabs Leon's arm, hugging him close to her)
Leon: (*whispering) I said calm down.
Rinoa: ....... (*letting him go from the tight hug but still holding his arms)
Leon: Ok...Let's go then. Remember ....act normal.
Rinoa: (*almost inaudible) Alrighty.
Leon: (*glances at the Loire's and notices the guys were going their way) GEEZ Rin, I think they've recognized you. (*holding her right hand) Come on let's go.
Rinoa: I-I'm scared Leon.
Leon: Trust me, we can make it. (*looking at her with his cool eyes)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Deling City: Caraway's Mansion
Caraway: Any news about my daughter?
Soldier#1: No worries sir, I can assure you that we can find your daughter in no time. I have instructed others to search every building and any hiding place at Winhill and Balamb Sir. I bet she's somewhere there.
Caraway: (*irritated as always) I want facts Soldier, not some No-worries- dialogues (*slamming his hands at the table)
Soldier: (*startled at the General's attitude, a bead of sweat fell into his face) Y-yes Sir! (*saluting) Permission to leave sir!
Caraway: If you want to see the light of day better GET OUT NOW!!!
Soldier: S-sir thank you sirrrrr!!! (*trips as he run towards the double doors)
Caraway: (*~I cannot just sit around here and do nothing. I need to know if she's ok. I've lost her mom....I cannot afford to lose her too.) Rinoa.....I'll bring you back here no matter what.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Winhill Beach
Fujin: WHAT HAPPENED?
Seifer: I don't know... maybe it's time for us to go back to them. I've got a very bad feeling there's something wrong with the gang.
Fujin: (*nods)
Seifer: We can continue these talks some other time....ok? (*strangely...he smiles again at Fujin)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Rinoa: (*hanging at Leon's arm) L-Leon I think t-they're following us!
Leon: (*leaning against her) Just keep on walking. We're going to that crowd over there at the square.
Rinoa: Okies.
They make their way into the busy crowd. The Winhillers were celebrating the said Holiday at the Square; each wearing scary costumes. There are lots of booths around the square.
Guard#1: (*looking at the huge crowd) I think we've lost them partner.
Guard#2: Just keep looking. The girl is wearing a white dress with angel wings.
Guard#1: She looks like Mrs. Caraway isn't she?
Guard#2: Of course she's her daughter you fool. Quit clowning around and look for them.
Guard#1: Are you sure about that?
Guard #2: N..yes
Guard #1: Very very sure?
Guard#2: I'm really sure
Guard #1: As in really, really, really sure?
Guard#2: Yes I'm sure.
Guard#1: As in 100% really, really, really sure?
Guard#2: Y.. hmm (*narrowing his eyes at his partner he slap his partner's nape)
Guard #1: (*in tears) YEOUCCHH I-I'm just asking if she's Ms. Heartilly. You don't have to beat me like that. Wahhhhhh!!!
Guard #2: Ohhh stop that! You're acting like a kid again. I said yes! I'm quite sure that she's the one we've been looking for!
Guard #1: Wahhh but still you don't have to beat me like that! I'm your one and only buddy.
Guard #2: (*sighs) Ok...ok sorry. You just annoyed me that's all. And buddy....(*tapping his partner's shoulder) I promise....I will never ever hit you like that again.
Guard #1: (*smiling from ear to ear) Really?
Guard #2: Yes
Guard #1: (*eyes sparkling) A-are you sure?
Guard#2: I'm sure.
Guard #1: As in really, really sure?
A deafening yell of pain was heard around the Square.
Rinoa: I think they're not following us anymore.
Leon: But we must be careful. I doubt they're just two of them here.
Rinoa: (*looking around) See...no one there, and there and at the other side and up there and.....

Loire's Residence
Quistis: Commander!!!! Rinoa!!! Are you upstairs?
Laguna: I'll go check them out upstairs.
Quistis: Can I come with you Sir?
Selphie: Me too! I like to know if our commander is ok.
Zell: Me too.
Irvine: Me Three.... I mean I want to go too.
Raine: I'll fix some soup for all of us. (*walks to the kitchen)
Ellone: I'll help you mom.
Upstairs – Squall's Room
Laguna: Leon? Rinoa? (*Slowly opening the door) Huh?
Quistis: They're not there?
Selphie: I'll check the other rooms.
Laguna: (*Scanning the whole room) (*~My son's room....ohhh quite reminiscing Laguna....) where could they be?
Quistis: Hmm... They're not inside the toilet either.
Laguna: (*~Toilet?) How about checking the balcony? I'll go check the others.
Quistis: I've been there already and nope not a trace of them.
Laguna: Hmm... (*rubbing his chin while tapping his feet—his favorite thinking position)
Selphie: (*peeping inside) We can't find them at the other rooms as well. I think they're somewhere else.
Laguna: Where are they?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Rinoa: Winhill Hotel and Café (*reading the sign board of the building in front of them)
Leon: See, we've made it! (*giving her a faint smile)
Rinoa: Yes!!!! Thank you so much Leon!!! (*hugging him really tight)
?????: AHEM! Excuse me. Ms. Heartilly? (*smirking)
Leon and Rinoa: (*Gasps) !!!
Author's note: Ohh what now? Who's that mysterious fellow in front of our characters?
Thanks for waiting for this chapter. I'll update as soon as I can. Again thanks to Quisty, VeryTallDude, EvansRinoa, Princess Noelle (formerly TheRealRikku) and to the rest that I haven't mentioned here (next time I'll be able to mention your nicks here.) Thanks for all your support. Until then.
