Obstructing Justice

Sally reached for her cell phone dialling as she walked to the window.

"Sally?"

Wu Fei watched her, obsidian eyes concerned at her silence. The Preventer's Chief Medical Officer had had little to say on arrival, and other than a muttered word too low for him to hear, she had said nothing during her examination of her patient.

"Inform the Gatehouse we will have an ambulance arriving."

Wu Fei smirked. "I'll call in a medivac chopper and we can transport him out of Sanc."

Fierce blue eyes centred on him. "Forget it. I'll not have a diplomatic incident that will blow the lid on his whereabouts to the entire ESUN. Have some sense, Chang."

Dark eyes widened but before Wu Fei could protest Sally held up a warning finger and gave her attention to the phone. "Po. Priority One clearance, Omega Alpha Nine … Yes … I need a secured isolated unit prepped for immediate use."

Chang scowled and shifted his attention to Merquise. There was a vulnerability to him that he equated to innocence and that was frightening. This man had threatened to decimate a planet, how then could there be innocence? Purity had been sprouted about the Gundam pilots, purity of purpose and character, but to Wu Fei he was far from pure. He had blood on his hands and no one could be pure after all they had seen and done. Not him and not Milliardo Peacecraft.

Only babies were without sin.

//Stupid. Nothing is so black and white.//

Sally came up beside him. "I've notified Sanc Memorial to have a Preventer's medical unit prepared. The fever's dehydrating him. I want him under observation and on a strong dose of antibiotics. Who was that irate gentleman in the foyer as I arrived?"

"The Minister and a Court Official are here to serve papers on Zechs naming him an unfit parent and placing Stephen under wardship of the Parliament. He is why I want Zechs out of Sanc."

"I see. Why are they still here?"

"I have not permitted them to see him until his personal physician arrived to determine his condition."

"Stephen?"

"Out of harm's way."

"Shit. You spirited Stephen out of here while you have had those men waiting downstairs? Chang, do you have any idea of the ramifications?"

Wu Fei met her fierce blue eyes with cold obsidian. "Stephen was not at the estate when they arrived. I have had my attention focused on Prince Milliardo, as per my briefing from Une. I determined that, given what I could see of his condition, he should not be stressed by visitors until his personal physician had the opportunity to examine him. I have no idea where Stephen is at this time and frankly, that is not my concern. This man is. Is that black and white enough for you, Dr Po?"

Sally considered Chang for a long moment. "If Stephen was not here when they arrived then Preventers can not be charged with obstructing justice."
