A/N: I Don't Own Gundam Wing.
Hilde clinched her teeth.
The one time she decided to come in for church on a Wednesday night, and three masked men dressed in black are flashing guns around. The gear they wore said they were professionals. She internally cursed herself for not leaving sooner.
Had Romefeller finally caught her?
In the chaos to clear the room she had hidden herself behind a large angel statue near the door, its detailed wings shielded her form from either side.
A stupid move, if she didn't want to get caught up in all this.
However Father Maxwell and Duo, she hadn't seen them exit yet. Where they being sought after because of her?
She dared to check on the intruders' positions.
"Bring'em in!" She heard one of the men call.
They hadn't done a sweep of the room, an indicator that they didn't expect trouble. She had at least that to her advantage.
Her thoughts halted when she saw Duo being dragged in. He was shoved forward and fell to his knees. An angry cut on his forehead bled freely, trailing down his right cheek. Light bruises traced his face and arms. His black shirt was torn exposing more wounds.
Hilde grimaced, he wasn't going to feel well in the morning.
Another man was brought in almost in the same condition as Duo, but unlike Duo that stared defiantly at his capturers. This man's face said nothing. As if their captors weren't there.
A chill rolled down her spine— out of all the people in the world. He the man who was closest to taking her life was now kneeling about to lose his.
'Heero Yuy what are you doing here?'
The tallest and bulkiest of the trio surrounding Duo and Heero mumbled into his wrist. Seconds later Hilde heard sturdy steps at the entrance of the church, door creaking as it opened. She carefully shifted further away, hoping the wings of the angel would be enough to conceal her.
However she didn't need to worry. The man that entered walked briskly in without a glance in any direction, focusing on only what was in front of him. The confidence of his body posture told her he was the one giving the orders.
His gray hair cropped short around his chin and the insignia on his back— this was indeed a night of surprises.
First Heero Yuy and now Tuberov a high ranking member in Romefeller.
Her past had finally caught up to her.
