Torn between the past and present
Part 17
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi. Thanks for the reviews even though FFN won't let me see all of them. Sorry about that. But I sent an e-mail about it so we'll see what happens.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amber and Trowa knew something was wrong the moment Heero and Relena walked into room. They didn't look at anyone and kept they gaze to the floor.
"Trowa, we have something to tell you," Heero said. He and Relena sat down.
"What?" Trowa asked.
"Dorothy works for the man who took my kids," Heero said. Trowa just stared.
"Who's Dorothy?" Amber asked gently.
"My fiancée," Trowa said, turning to stare at the wall.
"Oh," Amber said. They kept silent. Finally Amber said, "I'm going out."
"Where to?" Heero asked.
"I don't know. Maybe I buy a cd and a cd player," Amber said as she headed for the door.
"Do you have the money?" Heero asked.
"I'll steal it," she called as she walked out the door.
"I hope no one heard her," Heero said.

Hannah stood before William and Rebecca. They called her in when she got back from talking to Heero.
"What is your name my dear?" William asked. Hannah hesitated. If Rebecca knew about her it could ruin everything. But if he talked to Jake or Sean then he would know she lied.
"My name is Hannah Lowe," she said and began waiting for Rebecca to recognize the name.
"That's a pretty name," Rebecca said.
"Yours is more beautiful," Hannah said, trying to seem like she was on their side.
"Thank you," Rebecca said.
"Now, my dear, I have a request," William said.
"Which is?" Hannah asked coldly. William picked up a bottle off his desk and handed to Hannah. He said, "That bottle contains a formula that will enable me to control anyone who drinks it. I want you to give it to the Yuy children."
"How do you know it will work?" Hannah asked looking at the bottle.
"I tested on my cousin, Dorothy. Now go do what I told you," William said.
"Yes sir," Hannah said as she went out the door. 'Jake you better help me' she thought as she went to go find him.

"I wish they would tell us why we're here," Reuben said.
"Patience was bestowed on you, was it?" Sophie asked.
"What?" Reuben asked clueless.
"You don't have patience," Sammy said.
"Al least someone understands me," Sophie said.
"Most of the time," Sammy said. Sophie rolled her eyes.
"This is so boring," Reuben said.
"Naw, you think?" Sammy asked sarcastically.
"Shut up," Reuben said.
"Gladly," Sammy said.

"Jake, you have to help me," Hannah called as she saw Jake turn the corner of a hall. He waited for her to catch up.
"What is it Hannah?" Jake asked.
"Not here. Some place private," she said.
"Follow me," Jake said with a confused look. He led Hannah down the hall and turned to his right. He then led her up some stairs and then to a room. They walked into the room and Jake locked the door.
"So what is it?" Jake asked. Hannah pulled out the bottle William had given her.
"He wants me to give this to them to drink. It will make them do what he says," Hannah said.
"How does he know it works?" Jake asked.
"He tested on his cousin. I think that's why her eyes are so…lifeless," Hannah said.
"When does he want you to give this stuff to them?" Jake asked.
"Today. Jake we can't do that. These are Heero's kids," Hannah said.
"I know but what about Janie?" Jake said.
"That Relena girl, she can help," Hannah said.
"Alright I'll help. I'm going to tell Sean," Jake said.
"Can we trust him?" Hannah asked
"Yeah, I think so. Don't give them that stuff but go ahead and feed them. Don't tell them anything," Jake said.
"Okay. Lets get out of here," Hannah said.

When Amber got back, everyone was there. Almost everyone was in a wheelchair and a few were on crutches.
Amber paused in the door since no one had noticed her. She watched and listened as they traded stories about the past and made fun of each other. 'How nice it must be to have friends. To bad no one wants to be mine except for Heero. But then again he's more like a brother to me than anything else' she thought as she watched. She didn't want to go in because she felt like an intruder more than anything else. Someone unwelcome and unwanted. Finally, Trowa saw her and motion her in. Amber took a deep breath and walked in.
Almost immediately, everyone stopped talking and turned to her. Amber stood there and didn't speak.
"Hello. I'm Hilde Schebeker," Hilde said.
"Amber-Marie Rose Yuy," Amber said as she sat down by Heero.
"How long have you and Heero be married?" Sally asked.
"Fourteen years," Amber said.
"Isn't Reuben fifteen though?" Duo asked.
"Yes," Amber said.
"He isn't your son then?" Sally asked.
"No and don't ask me for details, please," Amber said.
"Alright," Sally said.
