'5 hours.' Heero thought disgusted. "5 whole frickin HOURS!!!!" He screamed suddenly and the others looked at him.
"Heero loses his cool? Man, now you know this is serious." Duo whispered eyes wide in disbelief.
"Duo, just shut up!" Trowa said his typing on the keyboard becoming more intense.
"Hell no Trowa, not you too!" The braided boy said in shock. When a Gundam pilot freaks out you know its bad. He stood up and stretched. Trowa, Heero and Duo had been trying to hack into over a thousand systems since 1:00pm that day. It was now 6-o-clock and they had still found nothing. The feeling of desperation had steadily grown since then.
"We need something for an energy boost okay? I'll go get some coffees and take out. Then we relax for about half an hour and then we can go again. Sound fine?" Duo called as he walked toward the hotel door.
"How the hell can you think of food at a time like this Duo?!" Trowa said unable to keep the venom from his voice. Duo flinched because he never heard such a tone from Trowa but stood his ground remembering to be nice to the green eyed teen. Trowa, Quatra and Wufei were tight like an unbreakable ring. The three were closer then brothers and acted like family so Duo could understand Trowa's pain, he even saw a small flash of guilt Duo translated as blame for not being there to help them. However that wasn't all the reasons he felt blame.
'I did it. It's my fault. They're gone because of me.' Trowa thought in misery. It was 10:50am the next day, a wet and sour Wednesday and Trowa decided to get some fresh air, and after explaining to Heero and Duo, telling Hilde and giving Catherine a quick kiss on the cheek he was out the door wearing a black jacket.
'He'd left the hotel' the thought raced through him. It was hopeless. They'd never find their friends. Ever. 1 minute to go. How would he tell the others that he was gone for good? Then the thought struck him like a hammer, the necklace. The one given to him by Quatra last Christmas, he'd vowed he would never take it off as a sign of their friendship. As he walked into the alley he fingered that exact necklace. A silver chain and a golden eagle in flight was the ornament. The conclusion was formed before he thought it. Time for Trowa Barton to disappear forever. And with a swish of a black jacket he was gone.
Catherine bade goodnight to Duo, Heero and Hilde before going into her bedroom. Trowa had been gone all day and she was beginning to worry but not too much. Trowa was very upset about the others and that was understandable. She didn't know Wufei or Quatra too much but she remembered meeting them both. Wufei was with Trowa just sharing a campfire. She'd never known who he really was until later. Quatra. the first time they'd met wasn't a happy one. Just after Trowa lost his memory and she was angry at him because she'd thought he was going to take her brother away to fight again, it wasn't until after she'd discovered that Quatra was sorry for her brother and blamed himself. He turned out to be a very kind person. She climbed under the covers of the bed and was about to shut off the lamp on the bedside table and then noticed something near the bottom of it. A silver chain with a golden bird. some sort of hawk or predator bird. Then she realized it was Trowa's. Must've taken it off despite his vow because of the pain when he thought of his lost friend. She was about to turn off the lamp again until she saw a bit of red on it. Small smears of red like rust all over the chain and she picked it up, only then did she notice the card under her lamp sticking out only a small corner which was hidden beneath the pendant. She picked it up and read;
He's gone for good just like the rest.
He's laying in wood his breath won't crest
The necklace seals his fate with red
He rests in eternal sleep on his deathbed.
Blood stains his chest he's packed in a sack
Too late he's gone he won't come back
Beware the fate of the other two
I'll soon come back for the both of YOU.
Catherine had to read the card 3 more times before the meaning sunk in and she screamed in horror while dropping the card. Heero, Hilde and Duo burst in carrying guns they'd gotten from Sally and the Preventers. When they examined the room and saw nothing but Catherine flinging herself into Hilde's arms and sobbing hysterically. A quick check and they found the red stained necklace and the card on the ground when the two read the card, Heero's face went paler then a sheet and Duo nearly fainted. They took Catherine out into the main room of the suite and set her down on the couch while comforting her and assuring her that Trowa wasn't dead. They did become very angry as they realized Trowa was now gone. They never sensed the figure in black outside their hotel door listening to their every word and sound. He had to be very quiet and not even breath if he wanted to remain unseen. Duo Maxwell had supernatural senses and would hear your heartbeat from across a hallway if he tried. Smiling the figure sprouted wings like before and flew away silently into the night.
End Chap.
