Chapter 10
Secrets blurting out.
"Now what the hell is happening here?!" Seifer stormed into the prison only to be greeted with cries. Curious to know what had happened, he walked on with his two assistants. With a revolver in his hand, Seifer approached the cell of the Abs and Luke. "So....what do we have here?"
"He almost killed me...," Abs whispered while trembling hard.
"He almost killed us!" Luke shouted out loud before crying again.
"Tom, call in the janitor! If you both keep on like that, I'm going to charge you for the cleaning fees," Seifer smirked and shook his head. Abs and Luke hung their heads in shame. They had wetted their pants. Abs was trying to knock his head against the wall in shame. It was the second time he wetted his pants ever since he was caught. "Now tell me. What happened?"
"Thank you," Luke said as Seifer handed him a coffee. Both Luke and Abs were brought up to the police office again. (The prison is located in the underground of the polica station.) "You know Abs, it's been a long time since I had such great coffee!" Luke grinned while Abs rolled his eyes. They both had regained their composure after sitting and drinking coffee for the last 15 minutes with the whole bunch of police in duty watching over them.
"Ready to tell me what happened?" Seifer asked suddenly. He grabbed a chair and sat down facing both of them. Hearing that, Abs tightened his fist in anger.
"It's him! Damn him!" He shouted suddenly earning glances from everyone else.
"He means the boss," Luke whispered to Seifer.
"So what about him?" Seifer asked.
"He sent a guy to kill us after everything we did for him!!! Fuck him!" Abs slammed his fist on the table. Luke sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
"Real sad. Boss is trying to kill us," Luke said.
"Sir Almasy, we found out that the manhole in the underground was opened and there's sign of someone destroying the cover," Tom, one of Seifer's assistant explained as he entered the office.
"So that's how the killer got in. Do you guys know him?" Seifer asked. Abs and Luke shook their head.
"But, I remember his voice!" Abs exclaimed.
"Yeah, me too!" Luke agreed.
"It's no use if you know his voice. We can't identify someone that way. Did you guys remember his face?" Seifer asked as he took down their statements.
"No, he covered his face with a mask," Luke answered. Seifer sighed.
"From now on, you two are going to sleep in the room beside this office. It used to be a storeroom but we'll fix that up and don't worry cause there's a lot of us working on this floor," Seifer explained.
"There's another thing. Since that damn boss doesn't treasure us anymore, we decided to give you guys every last information we know about him," Abs gritted his teeth while Luke nodded in agreement.
"All right. Let the game begins.."Seifer smirked.

The next morning was a particular beautiful morning. The birds sang and soar above the blue sky while the crowds below hustle and bustle in a merry mood except for two particular person.
Rinoa walked on the streets while gazing through the windows' of shops boringly. Brushing her hair fringe to the side of her face, she took the opportunity to steal a glance of Squall who was walking beside her silently. As they walked on side-by-side, Rinoa heard whispers like 'Who's that cute guy?' 'Aww, he's taken!' 'I hate that lucky girl beside him' making her giggled softly. Her mood were rose to a high level and she walked on with a smile on her face with a curious Squall following beside her.
After some time, they reached their destination.
"We're here. Let's go in," Rinoa urged Squall. Together, they walked in the Galbadia hotel. Inside, Rinoa turned to the right and walked down the stairs reaching her destination.
Squall followed her down and was greeted with a small stage with a grand piano in front of him, some seats and a small bar behind.
"Why is she coming here?" Squall thought silently as he looked at Rinoa quizzically. Slowly, Rinoa walked up to the stage and sat down.
"Have a seat somewhere, Squall," she whispered. Squall stood for a moment before nodding silently. He then walked to the nearest sit and sat down. A few seconds later, Rinoa took a deep breath before starting to play the piano.
Surprisingly, although Squall had never took the liking of music, he found the music that Rinoa played was very pleasant and sweet. Before long, he was caught in the music.
After a while, Rinoa finished her song and rose from the seat much to Squall's disappointment. She bowed gracefully after receiving loud claps from the audience before walking towards Squall. She sat down beside Squall and muttered a 'the usual please' to a waitress nearby before leaning on the sit.
"Nice song," Squall blurted out suddenly. Rinoa sat up and smiled.
"It's called Eyes On Me. My mum wrote it long time ago. This was the first song when she started to become a singer. Too bad, I can only play it and not sing it. I don't think I can match with her voice," Rinoa giggled softly and shook her head.
"...That's why you're here to perform occasionally?" Squall asked. Rinoa shook her head.
"Only twice a year. Although I came here often to have some drinks with my friends but no, I only went up the stage twice a year," Rinoa explained. "One during my mum's birthday and the other during the day my mum died...."
"....Today is the day she died," Rinoa whispered. Squall saw that her eyes were filled with tears waiting to flow out from her eyes while Rinoa fought them back hardly. Not knowing what to do, Squall just patted Rinoa on her back and smiled at her.
"It's all right," Squall said.
"...Thanks," Rinoa replied rubbing the tears off her eyes. After finishing up their drinks, they walked out and continued walking down the strees aimlessly. They reached a junction when they saw a commotion happening. A crowd had gathered around the busy junction.
"What's happening?" Rinoa asked. Squall shrugged. Eager to know what happened, Rinoa began to walk towards the crowd.
"Wait here all right? I'll be back in a minute!" Rinoa shouted from a distance. Before Squall could say anything, Rinoa had already disappeared within the crowds.
"Shit! Doesn't she know that it is very dangerous?" Squall groaned while he pushed through the crowd finding for Rinoa.
Rinoa sighed after knowing that it was just a common accident happening but due to the bad temper of both drivers, they caused a commotion by fighting on the road. While Rinoa was turning back to find Squall, a hand grabbed her from behind. Rinoa tried to screamed but the hand was quick and wrapped a handkerchief soaked with chloroform on her face making her losing her conscious.
"Squall...help....me....," Rinoa muttered with her last energy before losing her conscious. Seeing no sign of Rinoa, Squall knew something was not right. He ran down the streets searching frantically on each and every alley available.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Rinoa managed to open her eyes after much effort. She blinked her eyes a few times. Her head was spinning due to the effect of the chloroform. She found herself being tied up and gagged. She looked around and noticed that she was in a dark and dirty alley.
"Woke up?" A voice asked. Rinoa looked up and saw a tall, muscular guy smirking towards her. Slowly, he approached Rinoa. "Good, now we can have some fun...."
Rinoa backed away but soon her back was already touching the wall meaning she was trapped. Tears trickled down her face, as the insane guy approached her with bad thoughts in his mind.....
