A/N: Thanks so much for reading and for all the lovely reviews! Have another bomb, er...I mean chapter.
The three men turned at Quatre's soft revelation. The blonde had just come into the living area and he seated himself next to Duo on the couch. His eyes were red but other than that, there was no sign that he'd been crying.
"He sent the message to my business email. It was odd but I thought it might be because he wasn't sure if I still checked for messages and he knew I would definitely see anything sent to work."
Duo frowned. "What code did he encrypt it with?"
Quatre fell silent as he tried to remember. "It was an old Preventer codeā¦"
"Why wouldn't he use our code?" Duo wanted to know. "There's something seriously wrong here."
The four men were silent as they mulled over the mystery.
"It's nearly lunch time. Is frozen pizza okay with everyone?" Heero asked, breaking the silence.
"Fine with me," Duo said.
Trowa nodded his agreement.
Quatre just gave a small shrug. He wasn't hungry.
Heero frowned but went into the kitchen to put the pizzas in the oven. Quatre hadn't eaten more than three bites at breakfast. Heero wasn't sure when the last time was that Quatre had eaten. With the news about Rashid, Heero understood that Quatre wasn't likely to be hungry but the blonde needed to eat. They needed him in top form to extract Wufei and Quatre was already injured. Heero decided he wouldn't say anything unless Quatre refused to eat.
Upon returning to the living room, Heero picked up his laptop again. Trowa was still tapping away, looking for anything that would lead them to wherever Wufei was being held. Quatre was leaning against the armrest of the couch, a slight frown on his face as he thought. Duo fidgeted for a minute before grabbing the remote control and turning on the television. He settled on a show but Heero could tell he wasn't really interested. Duo just couldn't stand the silence.
"We interrupt this program for a special report. It was reported this afternoon that Mrs. Relena Peacecraft-Winner and her daughter are missing."
The four men stopped what they were doing.
"A Preventer Agent was sent to investigate a disturbance at the Winner Estate on L4 three days ago. There appeared to have been a struggle and four bodies were found, including that of Quatre Winner's bodyguard, Rashid Karuma."
Quatre covered his mouth and looked away as the camera footage showed his ruined home and the bodies of four Maganacs.
"Once the initial investigation was complete, the Preventers attempted to alert Mrs. Peacecraft-Winner of the situation, since her husband is nowhere to be found. Mrs. Peacecraft-Winner's secretary revealed that not only had she not shown up for work this morning, but her daughter hadn't been dropped off at day care. The last time either of them was seen was last evening. They dined at Epanastasi, a local Greek restaurant, with someone fitting the description of her husband. The whereabouts of Quatre Winner are still unknown and the Preventers have named him their prime suspect in both the disappearance of his wife and daughter and the murders of four of his staff."
