Chapter 6
Confession of the truth on both sides
"Now spit it out! Who is behind this?!" An inspector slammed his hand onto the desk in front of him hard shocking Abs and Luke. Both of them were literally dragged into a dark room where there's only a desk, a few chairs and a table light. Standing in front of them was the head of inspector of Galbadia. Although he was only 20 years old, he was already one of the greatest police available in Galbadia. He is the one and only Seifer Almasy. He slammed the table again indicating that they should talk.
"I don't what are you talking about. We did this by ourselves," Abs groaned.
"Eh? I thought it was..ouch!" Luke screamed in pain when Abs poked him hard on his stomach. Seifer smirked looking at them.
"So, telling eh?" Seifer asked slyly. Abs looked away and put both of his feet on the table. Luke on the other hand, was still groaning in pain. However, he was smart enough to understand that he should not spit out a word about their leader's identity.
"All right then. Suit yourself. Guys, bring in that gun!!" Seifer shouted through the door. As soon as Abs and Luke heard the word gun they tried to stand up to find themselves tumbling down. Their legs were tied on the chair and their hands were cuffed. After a minute of struggling they gave up and sat back down. Their fear grew as they saw two policemen came in and brought a gun, a chair and a string.
"Wha....what are you trying to do?!" Abs started to panic. Seifer and the others ignored him and continued with what they were doing. Minutes later, it was completed. A gun was made standing up on a chair; its bullet hole pointing towards Abs, and its trigger was tied to the door with a string. Luke stared at the gun weirdly. What are they going to do?
Knowing that Abs was starting to panic, Seifer decided to talk. "Since you're not going to talk, you have no use to us. However, we can't just let you go off, can we? So, we had decided to do the best thing; just let you die."
"You can't do that! You...you're a police! I'm going to sue you! You can't kill an innocent person like that!" Abs was struggling hard to free himself as Luke watched on helplessly.
"Oh yes, we can't do that as a law enforcer. No no. We'll be in jail. But you see, I'm not going to kill you. These two assistants of mine here are not killing you. It's that gun. Let's just say it shot the bullet out itself. Besides, no one is pressing the trigger. The real killer is the string that was tied on it."
"Bullshit! A piece of crap! Let me go now! I don't know anything!"
"You have exactly 10 seconds to change your mind or else we're going out of here and you know what will happen when the doorknob is turned right?" Seifer asked. Abs gulped and stared at the gun hard. He was sweating cold sweat profusely.
"Let me go!"
"10,"
"I don't know a thing!"
"9,"
"Let go of me bastard!"
"8,"
"Luke, safe me!"
"7,"
"Don't worry Abs! As you had always said! It's worth it!"
"6,"
"Fucking hell! No it's not!"
"5,"
"It isn't?"
"4,"
"Not now! Now help me!"
"3,"
"But how?"
"2,"
"Think damnit!"
"1,"
"I don't know! Sorry! Goodbye mate!"
"0!"
"I'LL TELL!!! He is the most wanted criminal in Galbadia, Luxter Fields!"
Seifer grinned triumphantly. He eventually turned the doorknob, making the string to pull the trigger.
"No!!!!!!!" Abs shouted in fear. He was so scared that he peed in his pants. However, the shot never came. Carefully he opened his eyes to see a confused and shocked Luke, and three policemen laughing at him.
"Oh dear, you peed in your pants?! Anyway, that's none of my business and thanks for your information. Next time, remember to check if the gun was loaded before scaring yourself off!" Seifer laughed. With that he left the room with his assistants leaving behind an embarrassed Abs and a disgusted but still giggling Luke.
"I'll make you pay!!!" Abs screamed was heard all over the Galbadia police headquarters.

Back in the presidential palace, Rinoa was still deep in her slumber when a sudden thunder woke her up. She shot up of the bed due to the shock and noticed that the sky was very dark. She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall in front of her. It was 8 o'clock in the evening.
"I slept that long? Oh dear," Rinoa rubbed her head before she cringed in pain. "I totally forgot about my head. Bad hand! Shouldn't have touched it. Now it hurts again!" She tried to lie back down on the bed when something caught her eye. She looks towards her left side and saw a shadowy figure sitting beside the nearby. Slowly, she turned on the table lamp and in her relief it was Squall who was sitting on the chair. She giggled softly as she looked at him. He looked so cute when he sleeps. So innocent. Why must he turns himself into a big meanie when he wakes up? Rinoa edged nearer not noticing that Squall was waking up.
As she edged nearer and almost touched Squall's forehead, he shot open his eyes, making a shock and embarrassed Rinoa stumbled back on her bed. As quick as the lightning, she covered up her blushing cheeks with the bed sheet leaving a confused Squall staring at her.
"What are you doing?" Squall asked.
"No..nothing," Rinoa answered under the cover.
"Then why are you staring at me so close?"
"Wh...what? Since when?"
"Just now. What are you looking at?"
".........."
"I didn't hear you,"
"Squall, shut up and this is an order from your client," Rinoa shouted in embarrassment.
"Whatever. In that case, I'm going down," Squall said simply. Rinoa uncovered herself and sat up.
"What? Where are you going?" Rinoa asked.
"Downstairs,"
"Whatever for?"
"Dinner." Squall stood up and began to leave the room when he heard a shout.
"Hey, wait up! I want to go to. I'm starving," Rinoa stood up and started to run towards Squall when her vision blurred. Luckily, Squall managed to save her from falling and hitting her head again.
"Are you all right? You shouldn't run. You're still weak," Squall said with a hint of concern.
"I guess I'm all right," Rinoa rubbed her head gently before stabilizing her self on the ground. It was then she realized that Squall was still holding her and the closeness between them made her blush again. Quickly but reluctantly, she released herself from the grasp and walked out of the room slowly with Squall beside her. Why am I feeling like this? Stop blushing Rinoa! Rinoa scolded herself mentally as she walked down the stairs.
Unfortunately, she almost fell down the stairs and was saved again by Squall who was shaking his head and gave her the why-are-you-so-clumsy. In order to save herself from triple embarrassment, she coughed slightly and continued to walk down but a firm hand gripped her right hand shocking her.
"I don't want you to fall down and squashed you head again," Squall stated coolly before leading Rinoa whose face was as red as a tomato as her heat rose up her cheeks down the stairs.
************************************************************************
"Good evening Rin! I'm happy to see you're well enough to come down. Are you sure you're all right now?" Caraway asked with concern once he saw Rinoa walking down the stairs proceeding to join him for dinner.
"I'm all right. Thanks for the concern dad. By the way, why are you having your dinner so late?" Rinoa asked back. Slowly, she sat down opposite of her father as Squall took the seat beside her and muttered a good evening sir to Caraway.
"I was so caught up in the office that I forgot the time until Quistis reminded me it was well past 7. So here I am waiting for the dinner to be cooked," Caraway explained as two maids came in with two plates and forks and spoons and everything needed for dinner for both Rinoa and Squall.
"Where's Quistis anyway?" Rinoa looked around as Quistis joined them almost every night for dinner.
"That girl had a date with her boyfriend tonight. What's his name again? That long time boyfriend of hers?"
"Dad, it's Seifer Almasy,"
"Oh yes. Seifer, the famous police around. Why do I keep forgetting?" Rinoa smiled and shook her head as she ate up her fresh and hot dinner.
"Talk about boyfriends. When are you getting yourself one eh? Or you already had one without me noticing?" Caraway teased making Rinoa to drop her food.
"Dad! You know I don't have one! Besides, I don't need one. I'm happy with what I am now. So stop talking about this subject," Rinoa argued.
Caraway chuckled before teasing back. "But as far as I'm concern, I think you had just found yourself a perfect partner. Didn't I tell you time would change everything?" Caraway looked at Squall before looking back at Rinoa. He had viewed the whole process of Squall leading Rinoa down the stairs and she held his hands firmly.
"Dad!" Rinoa felt like an idiot and before long she left the dining table blushing profusely claiming that she was not feeling well and wanted some rest.
"In that case, go and have some rest. Squall, you'll keep an eye on her like you always do right? Now, if you had finished your dinner, I strongly recommend that you should go up too. In case, my daughter needs a support to go up the stairs," Caraway winked at Squall and chuckled when he heard Rinoa groaning in annoyance while heading up the stairs.
Squall did not know what got into him but somehow he blushed on Caraway's statements. In order to hide his blush, he quickly walked up the stairs and trailed behind Rinoa as Caraway continued chuckling.
"I think I'm getting myself a future son-in-law soon," Caraway smiled and continued eating his dinner alone.
************************************************************************ Yeah! Another chapter! I have to end this chapter here. I had a whole big Biology book that I haven't even laid a finger on and two chapters of Additional Mathematics that I'm still blur and a Chemistry book which I'm total blank and the test is on Monday and Tuesday! So I got to go. I don't want to fail my test. Please REVIEW!!! Thank you!
