Timber Station.

Why me?

Things just seem to get worse.

I kept an eye on Seifer as he started to ask me stuff about Squall, Zell and Selphie.

And I did answer some of them. Finally he seemed to snap. He managed to get out of the detention room and knocked over both guards, injuring them in the process, and ran off towards the entrance of the garden screaming something about the fact that they sent rookie SeeD's on the first mission to timber.

I decided to head out after him as he was my problem and my responsibility. Headmaster Cid grabbed my arm and asked to get him to stop without causing harm to anyone else.

I nodded and ran.

It took me about half a hour but I got to Balamb town and got a train from there, as I had got information that Seifer had gotten the train.

I got to Timber about ten minutes later and had a think about where he might go. I went to the pub and snuck in.

I asked the bar man if I could go out the back of the pub, and he agreed.

Just then a man came in complaining that the trains were not working and that a couple of guards had mugged him, taking his precious card.

I snuck out back and ran up the side of the building.

I managed to catch Seifer in my vision running up the stairs.

Downstairs I could vaguely hear bits and pieces of a conversation, but decided not to pursue it as it was not my business.

I ran into the television studio and caught Seifer rooting around the room. A couple of studios away I could hear some music playing, and then a voice.

Seifer turned round. He ran into the studio and attacked a couple of guards and took the president hostage.

Defiantly trouble.

I knew the cameras were on so I asked the timber team to come to the studio. They must have been really near because they turned up two minutes later.

Zell let slip we were from garden and mentioned a Rinoa. Maybe she told him about the president at some point. At this point Seifer reversed into the room that he had been searching previously with the president still under his grip.

I ran after him with the group following a little way behind.

I got into the room but then I stopped as thought I was frozen and I could not see anything. When I came round, seifer was gone and everyone else was standing behind me. They knew the president had escaped and that he had mentioned on the broadcast about a sorceress. Then exiting the building we sat outside the station contemplating where to go. There was now five of us and we needed someplace to go.
