Lied in fetal position for Hyne knew how many hours, Squall forced himself to stand up when he heard a loud knock at his door. A man with bright red hair in an impecabble suit stood upon him. Squall didn't recognize the guy, but he had some idea, " Kiros'?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm your shadow, for now, my name is Reno" he grinned ear to ear, " unfortunately we don't have time to chat Mr. Leonhart, I'll help you pack your bag"

"Now?"

"Yup. Your plane depart in about two hours", Reno enter his room, and took a heavy suitcase above his cupboard easily. Squall sighed and began to collect his clothes.

"How long I should be in Midgar?"

"No idea, boy" He said, "but you won't come back here for sure."

"...WHAT?!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hello?"

"Why I should change my school?"

Ahh...Reno blabbered again, if not for his good skill in combat and stealth, Kiros perhaps had fired him a long time ago.

"Because it was unsafe"

" I don't want to..."

He's sulking, however he's still a boy afterall

"Squall, Ellone was murdered and we believe that the killer also after you and your parents. It's unsafe for you to back to EHSB."

"But they didn't know my face nor my school, there's no reason-"

"They knew, boy, un-"

"How?"

Kiros release his breath, " I told you once you're here."

Feeling anxious, Rinoa head to Squall's room. She was actually not suprise to saw him pack his bag.

"Going somewhere?" she asked, she noticed a red hair man was there, " who's this?"

" Reno, at your service ma'am", he grinned flirtartiously

"What's he doing here?" she approached the stoic face boy, he said no word until now

"Help me packed" Squall answered, " I'll leave in an hour"

"Why so fast?"

Squall didn't answer, Rinoa tilted her head toward the red hair guy, " Why so fast?" she repeated, Reno shrugged his shoulder, "it's the boss' words, Miss".

I can't believe it

She muttered softly before help her bestfriend folding his clothes.

He was mad. And it was understatement. He was furious. It's been more than two days and he even didn't catch the glimpse of Squall. Did he avoid him? He didn't answered his knock and he was not at his club room. His painting still unfinished yet, so sooner or later he should be back. Or so he thought. Seifer decided to finally asked the only person he thought to able answered his question. At the break time, he found Rinoa eating her lunch alone.

"Where is he?" he asked, he was surely not in a chit-chat mood

"Who?" she even refused to meet his eyes.

"Smart ass"

"Who?" she asked once again. Her dissaproval of him made her reluctant to keep them in a good term, especially when Squall was far away.

"Loire"

He watched her gulped, and a hint of sadness obvious in her eyes.

" He's not here anymore." She said, "and he won't be back" she added sadly.

"Huh? why?"

"It's not my place to tell" she said, she write something on a piece of paper, "here..."

"Squall's temporary new numbers.I guess this one still active for this week." She said, she mentally put this on Squall's 'debt'.

"I believe you to deleted the number as soon as possible"

Seifer confusedly receive it.

What's going on?

He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable but he fished for his phone anyway.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Where the fuck are you?" he said almost yelled. Frustrated, because the other took a sweet time to picked up his phone and it's after Seifer hit the CALL button million times.

"..."

"...Squall? it's you there, right?"

" Yes"

"Where are you?" He asked much softly this time

" Seifer, I can't talk right now"

"Why? Where are you?"

"Can't tell. Sorry. I'm sorry...really..I.."

Even he couldn't hear it, but Seifer aware that Squall wouldn't say the word he was about to say.

"Can I meet you again?"

Please...?

He vaguely heard the plead on the older boy's voice, honestly even Squall didn't know the exact answer for this.

"..."

"You don't know?" he asked with sarcasm implied and amazingly he almost could see Squall nodded in the other line, after some "do you want to meet me again?"

"Yes" Squall finally gave the answer, "Good bye"

And he hung up the phone.
