Not sure if I can update for a while now. I'm going to be really busy for a change in my vacation. I'm going to Canada for three weeks and I'm going to Croatia for 10 days. I'm going to have to fit writing and updating somewhere in between. I'm trying to work ahead though, so we'll see how it goes. Anywayz, here is yet another chapter for now.

Hope you all enjoy ;)

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. - Franklin D. Roosevelt

When Relena regained consciousness she could feel a cold floor beneath her. Opening her eyes she found it was completely dark. Trying to use the walls as orientation she made her way around looking for the door.

The cell was entirely empty and there were no other exits anywhere except for that one door that she knew had to be there. She shivered. Not only was it cold, but this place was enough to make you develop some serious claustrophobia.

Once she had found the door she banged on it. "Let me out!"

"Shut up wench!" A man's voice yelled from the other side, obviously agitated.

'How eloquently put. At least now I know my captors certainly have a way with words. Probably elementary school dropouts.' She shook her head. She was starting to sound like Kat.

"Can I at least have something to eat? I'm hungry." She sat up hopefully. After all, they wouldn't let her starve now would they?

'As if that would work.' She sank to the floor. 'What would Kat do if she were here?' She sighed. Most likely she would escape Houdini style and take out all of the captors as a bonus. 'Maybe it's a good thing Kat isn't here. People tend to live longer.'

She didn't get another reaction. But that's no reason to stop trying just yet. "Please. I'm very hungry."

Perhaps she should use a different tone. "I am starving. I demand food this instant." She paused for a moment before adding. "…you disgraceful excuses for pigs."

Apparently that was the last drop. A grunt could be heard along with some muttered curses as the door swung open.

Though she wasn't sure she thought she heard something along the lines of 'spoiled brat'. She smirked. Sometimes it really did pay to be a snobbish, rich girl.

Relena's eyes had gotten used to the darkness and the sudden light blinded her. She held her hand in front of her eyes trying to get a good look at the man looming over her. A sudden impact sent her flying back into the wall.

"Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do bitch. Next time I won't go so easy on you." He roughly put down a tray and then stomped out of the cell again slamming the door on his way out.

Kat had worn out her patience. Duo had come along for her 'walk'. He was a nice guy, she felt a bit ashamed that she had to leave him in the dark. However this was too important. Noin had even made sure Heero wouldn't be around for her. The last thing she needed was some annoying 'hero' to save the day.

She needed to relax; she was too much on edge. Steadying her breathing she forced herself to calm down. Kat's eyes scanning her surroundings inconspicuously her hands tensed and then relaxed again.

"Princess?"

Raising an eyebrow she glanced sideways. "What is it Duo?" 'What does he want now?'

"Why did you want to take a walk?" His voice sounded grave.

Her eyes narrowed but in the dark Duo couldn't see. 'Does he suspect…?' "I needed to get out. I was feeling trapped." Well, in a way it was the truth.

"In the office?" He continued his inquiry.

"Everywhere. In my whole life." She looked up at the sky. She really did feel trapped. She was trapped in the choices she had made and forced to face them every day.

"Then just one walk can't fix that."

She had never seen him so serious. "This walk will do more than you can imagine." 'It will fix Lena's problem and then I won't be stuck in her life any more.' She smiled but then her smile faltered. 'Then I'll be stuck in my life again.'

Unbeknownst to her Duo was smirking. 'I have no doubt about that.'

"Help me! Someone please help me!" A woman screamed suddenly.

Duo looked at her as if asking for permission and she nodded. He ran off in the direction of the sound. Kat smiled at his foolishness.

As if on cue Duo was rendered unconscious as soon as he reached the woman. The blonde promptly turned to hang off the arm of her supposed attacker. "How did I do?" She asked in a sickening sweet voice.

It was the last Kat heard as she fell unconscious shortly after when she was struck in her neck.

Cory grinned. "You did good Denise." He gave her a hundred dollar bill. "This is yours I believe."

The blonde pouted. "You're not leaving already. You promised me we would have some fun tonight."

Growling Cory yelled at his men. "Take that bitch and lock her away."

"What do we do with him?" One of them asked shakily.

"Leave him." He pulled Denise closer to him his arm hanging loosely around her shoulders. "I trust you can handle the rest by yourselves?" Not waiting for an answer he turned to the blonde, a lustful look in his eyes.

Denise giggled as she led him to her apartment.

Trowa's cell phone rang as he stood watch. Carefully he glanced around. Once he was satisfied no one was around he answered.

"Barton speaking."

"She left."

"Since when does that concern me?"

"Fine. I guess I'll have to clean up your mess."

"I said I'd take care of it."

As he hung up his face momentarily displayed annoyance but it was gone within a second. He stepped closer to the hospital bed gazing down at the blonde that had always succeeded in causing trouble for them.

Quatre was nervous. He had immediately rushed off to see Dorothy as soon as he had heard she was in the hospital. Along the way he had picked up some flowers.

In the hospital he headed straight to the reception. "Excuse me Miss…" He looked at her nametag. "Rose. I am looking for Dorothy Catalonia."

The woman typed something on her computer. "I'm sorry sir. We have no patient by that name."

'What's going on?' He frowned. "Has there been a blonde woman who had been seriously injured brought in recently?"

Luckily the woman at the reception was easily charmed and more than willing to help him find Dorothy. "Well. There was a blonde woman brought in with some severe gunshot wounds. A Miss Frost."

Quatre almost smirked at the name. It was most certainly fitting. "What room is she in?"

"Room 314."

"Thank you." He smiled gratefully at her.

Of course she took it the wrong way, thinking he might be interested. "You're welcome." She fluttered her eyes and waved sweetly.

>> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >>

He had become nothing but a mere shadow on the wall. No one ever noticed him. Because he didn't talk much he was a mystery to everyone. They couldn't possibly imagine the thoughts and feelings that lay behind his stoic mask.

A twisted smile crossed his face as he stared down at the girl whose life he was about to end.

His hands slid around her throat, rubbing his thumbs over her neck. It would be so easy to cut off her air supply or even to just snap it. Regaining his self control he let go and took a needle out.

There were so many ways to kill a person; he always considered it somewhat of an art. Beautiful. Hers was going to be a simple death though. He was merely going to inject some air into her bloodstream. It was simple, and yet so very effective.
