48: Persuasion

/We do not negotiate with terrorists./ She'd said.

/They threaten to kill one man, one agent. Not the entire world peace./ She'd said

/It is on the president's orders that we do not get involved. It will be up to the local authorities to deal with the situation and to capture the ones responsible as safely as possible./ She'd said

The current earth president was known for his aversion towards war soldiers. For a blue moon he'd even attempted to set up a war tribunal for the terrorists from the colonies. No doubt he figured that getting rid of one former gundam pilot would do the world more good than harm.

/Of course, terrorists such as them must have many enemies./ She'd said and he remembered her grimace while she spoke. /If someone got to them before the locals did, well, there's probably no telling who they were./

/Are you suggesting-/

/I am merely explaining an unfortunate, though entirely possible outcome./ She'd said. /But if you want a suggestion, I would suggest you take those days off work which I offered you before. Surely with the stress of your best friend going missing you could use the time?/

She'd smiled at him. /And if I were to make another suggestion, I would suggest you contact those who were once closest to Duo. No doubt they will offer you their support./

He'd done as she'd suggested. He'd taken time off and he'd contacted Hero, Trowa and Quatre. They were all in.
