Esmeralda looked up at him, "I know." She placed hand on his arm, "Thank you, really."

Squall slowly nodded. He wished he could do more to keep her safe but she was stubborn. He was upset with Lonnie even though he never met her because she was the one keeping Esmeralda there when they could have just escaped. "Just don't do anything you'll regret." he said.

Esmeralda laughed, "I should have met up with you earlier. Maybe you could have kept me clear of some the messes I walked into."

"By the looks of things you handled it well enough." Squall commented. "You're still alive and not bitten."

Esmeralda nodded, though her expression fell, "Yes, I suppose that'll be good enough for now. Come on, let's get a move on." She really didn't want to reminisce about her time, and the mistakes she'd made, in this accursed place.

Squall climbed through the hole she made in the window. He offered his hand to help her through too.

Esmeralda took and carefully made her way through without cutting anything this time. "Thanks," she said as she let go of his hand, "We should probably head further east, and perhaps find a place to rest for the night before starting our search for Lonnie tomorrow."

"Right." Squall said. "Let's get off the..." He trailed off. He frowned and stared at the ladder in front of them. He reached down and pulled a small swatch of fabric off the metal.

Esmeralda looked back at him, "What is it? Something wrong?"

"Do you remember what Lonnie was wearing?" he asked. "The last time you saw her." He held up the fabric piece he found.

Esmeralda examined the fabric closely and shook her head, "She was wearing a black tank top and what she called 'cargo jeans' the last time I saw her. I can't tell whether this is hers or not. They seem to be pretty common items of clothing."

"Well, someone has been through here," Squall reasoned. "Our only question is, do we follow?"

Esmeralda nodded, "If there's any chance it's her, I want to know."

"Then we follow." Squall confirmed. "Let's go."

Esmeralda quickly made her way down the fire escape, her energy rapidly returning to her, "Can you tell which way they headed from here?"
