Yazoo was sat in the brig wondering what was going to happen next. It seemed that everyone thought that he had done it, not Kadaj who was not even under suspicion. Yazoo's room was small and the door was made of very fine wire. He wondered if he could kick the door out but then thought that it would made him look guilty and so he stayed put; for the moment. There were Garden faculty outside his room at all times; he wondered what they would do if he escaped seeing as they were not armed. Yazoo got to his feet and the faculty looked around at him.
"Yes?" one asked
"How long do I have to stay in here?" asked Yazoo
"Indefinitely" said the faculty and turned away.
"What if I escape?" asked Yazoo. The two faculty laughed and turned to him
"With what weaponry?" asked the faculty "We have drawn all your magic also so you're pretty much stuck where you are, so sit down"
Yazoo smiled and sat back down on his bed; his magic came from materia and could not be drawn so the faculty were wrong when they said he had no weapons. Yazoo scratched the back of his neck absentmindedly, or so it seemed. The small knife that had been sewn into the collar of his jacket was still there; the quick search had missed the weapon. Yazoo smiled and put his head back against the wall; now he had an angle for escape. Yazoo tilted his head to one side as he looked past the wires at the sprinkler system. Suddenly it ignited spewing foam and other fire-resistant chemicals. With a loud buzz his cell opened as the faculty came running in. They spun him around and handcuffed him. Yazoo could hear the alarms from the Garden above them as the other safety-features activated.
Yazoo was bundled out of the cell then out of the Garden to join the other students as fire-crews were dispatched from the town of Balamb. Yazoo was one of the only people covered in foam but he did not mind; at least he was out of his cell. Other faculty had come over and they were now guarding him. Yazoo could hear hisses and boo's being called at him but he did not mind. Squall came over looking rather confused
"What happened down there, Yazoo?" he asked
"How am I meant to know?" asked Yazoo "I was in a cell, remember?"
"Of course I remember" said Squall
"Well I haven't been visited by any police officers" said Yazoo "Which you said you were going to do when you came to visit me"
"I haven't got around to it" said Squall
"Of course" said Yazoo sarcastically "That must be what happened"
"Shut up" said Squall and walked off.
Yazoo began to wriggle his hands to try and find a weak point but there was not one. Then he felt the cuffs slip slightly upon the foam. He smiled internally then pulled. The cuffs snapped free and Yazoo backflipped over the faculty. Gasps came from the students but Yazoo was not concentrating on them. He threw a faculty into the others and threw out his arm which was facing the sky. A beam of blue light shot out of his palm and lit up the already light sky. Kadaj and Loz came running over
"What the hell did you do that for?" asked Kadaj
"Afraid of what he'll say?" asked Yazoo who was then tackled to the ground by faculty.
Once all the students were back inside Yazoo was thrown, literally, into his cell. All they had done was swept the foam out and off his bed and so the bed was still laden with water like a giant sponge but Yazoo could either stand up all night or just accept the fact that his bed was soggy and sleep in it. Almost an hour later Quistis came down to see him.
"Hello" she said to Yazoo as the faculty left the room to give them privacy.
"Hi" said Yazoo who had sat up on his bed; he was actually glad to see Quistis.
"You're the talk of the Garden, not bad for someone who's been here for two days" said Quistis. Yazoo smiled
"I'm glad you're still talking to me" said Yazoo "You do believe me when I say that it was Kadaj who destroyed the Quad and attacked Irvine" Quistis looked unsure
"What?" asked Yazoo
"It's just that Irvine…" started Quistis
"He listened to Kadaj" said Yazoo falling onto his back on the bed.
"He's been saying that Kadaj was telling him that you were going to stab him in the back then he was attacked from behind" said Quistis "And he's a good friend of mine Yazoo, I have only known you days"
"Oh so even you are against me" said Yazoo bitterly not looking at the teacher.
"No" said Quistis getting to her feet to try and see Yazoo's face but Yazoo turned his back on her.
"Please talk to me" said Quistis. Yazoo merely waved for her to leave. Quistis hung her head and walked out. Neither would tell the other but they had both felt the same at that time. Yazoo felt deeply hurt that Quistis had not believe him and Quistis felt guilty that she was siding with Irvine over a man that she really liked. They both felt empty and hurt inside.
Quistis fell onto her bed crying when she got back to her room. Yazoo was the only man that had shown interest in her in a long time and Quistis actually fancied him also but now she had turned her back on the young man at the drop of a hat.
Yazoo was lying in his bed with his eyes closed trying to sleep and not think of Quistis but it was very difficult. Every time he closed his eyes an image of her face would appear. He grunted angrily and rolled onto his face; almost suffocating himself. For now Yazoo would have to wait in his soggy bed until his saviour arrived. Then Kadaj will not be able to lie and Yazoo will be, for the moment, free.
