Regretting Nothing - Part 15

Author's Note: Heero and Sidney are about to go head to head. Heero checked out Chris. What are those strange unknown feelings he's having against the guy? Will Angie and Sid hurt Chris before Heero? But, remember they're his best friends…they shouldn't hurt him that much? J
Sidney came back to her apartment. She was good and mad. 'Damn, Heero. For interfering in my life. Who the hell does he think he is? He doesn't even know me,' thought Sidney. It was nice to finally know if Dorothy had said anything, but now she had bigger problem. It was so frustrating. Sidney felt like she was going to scream. She began pacing in her living room. For now, Sidney was aware of the fact that she was being spied. At least in public, she would have never suspect that Heero would go as far as to put bugs and cameras in her apartment. Her private place. Sidney felt that if she started screaming the whole neighborhood might hear her. Besides, there was no way of knowing if there was a car outside with the Preventers in it. Sidney's eyes widen in alarm. She quickly ran and slammed all the windows shut, and closed all the curtains. The cameras that Heero had installed were well hidden. The only way to find them was by chance.
To work off her aggressions she decided it was time to use the good old training post in her living room. She punched it and kicked it for over an hour. Finally, she just felt exhausted and decided it was time for a shower and for bed.

Heero and everyone else were watching this. Duo was wincing through out Relena's practice on the training post. Quatre was startled to find that she had some defense skills. Wufei was busy watching, so that he could figure out what level she was at. Trowa was watching with a blank expression on his face. Heero looked with interested.
"I think that Chris guy has really gotten to her," assumed Duo.
"Some best friend, how could he steal not share the spot with her," said Quatre. Duo had told the rest of them everything that had happened. While Duo thought it was funny, they thought it was disturbing.
"Such injustice," echoed Wufei. Trowa said nothing.
"I knew that there was something wrong with that guy," said Heero quietly. This came as a shock to the rest of them. He never said things like that about someone who never did anything personally wrong to him.

It was around one in the morning when Sidney had that nightmare. She was tossing and turning. Her breathing was rapid. Her heart felt like it was going to come out of her chest. Sidney woke up without getting completely up from the bed. This was one of the rare occasions where Sidney didn't scream.
Everyone at the hotel had gone to be, except for Quatre. He saw the torment on her features as she slept. Quatre frowned, but remained quiet. Perhaps, he would tell Heero. 'I don't know if I should. I don't know if he really cares about her or the mission. It's hard to tell after five years,' thought Quatre. He decided to go bed.
Sidney was still awake when Quatre decided to go to sleep. But, she never wanted to go back to sleep after a nightmare. So, she made herself a cup of coffee, and stayed awake until dawn on the living room sofa in front of a window. Since she didn't open the curtain she never knew when dawn came, but somehow knew that it was time for her morning run.
Quatre and Trowa were already waiting outside in an unmarked car. But, unlike when Heero went was watching her, they didn't follow her during her run. They decided to wait until she came back.
"I honestly think that Heero's gone too far this time," said Trowa quietly.
"I don't think you should blame him. It's his mission," said Quatre. Quatre now agreed with Heero that Relena should be under surveillance for her own healthy and safety. Quatre was more worried about her now, but he still didn't tell anyone. They had invade her privacy, so Quatre would have to use a lot of tact if he wanted to talk to her. Maybe, set up a chance meeting like Dorothy. Of course, Dorothy's meeting wasn't by chance. But, something like that. Although, he wouldn't be hurting himself to see her at the emergency room.
"You disagreed with him before. You were the only one who said anything about the cameras being a bad thing to do," said Trowa looking at Quatre. Quatre was in the driver's seat. He had his hands on the steering wheel. Quatre let out a sigh.
"Let's just say I had a change of heart," said Quatre in an exasperated tone. Trowa was by far the most observant of all the Gundam pilots. He could see through Quatre, but decided not to press him. However, Trowa let in the last words of the conversation.
"I think Heero has gone too far this time. Even for him," said Trowa.

Sidney was at the hospital at ten in the morning. At around five in the afternoon she received a call from Chris. She had completely forgotten that she was mad at him. Chris had something important to tell her, so he called from his lab.
"Sidney, there was something strange that happened at work in the lab," said Chris.
"What is it?" asked Sidney who was still a little sore at him, but she was always willing to listen to him.
"Maybe, I should start from the beginning. Yesterday, we actually allowed a potential client down the lab."
"I thought that you didn't do that."
"Normally we don't, but it was for a government agency. Anyway, I was near my office door to open it, and I found a picture of you missing off my bulletin board. Someone had lifted it off. It can't be me. Or the cleaning crew because they don't clean my office. I do. Steve wouldn't do it; he already has some pictures of you. So, I think the client that came did it. I was suppose to check if I had the ropes that I needed for last night's climb I did for a case. So, I decided to playback the cameras, and he did it," said Chris.
He didn't reveal the name of the client, but Sidney knew who it was. Heero. She was sure of it. He must have found out about Chris and Angie. 'Damn him. He can mess with me, but not my friends. It's time to draw the line,' she thought angrily and protectively.
"Sidney? Are you okay?" asked Chris whose eyes were filled with concern. She was quiet but had no really expression on her face. "Are you still mad at me?"
"Not really, but just disappointed. Angie's probably still mad. You will pay for it. You know that."
"For the rest of my life, I swear," said Chris solemnly with a flicker of humor in his eyes. This time Sidney couldn't help but smile. Chris always managed to get her to smile. He always made her feel better, but she still couldn't tell him about her past.
"As it stands, you have a fan, Sidney," said Chris playfully, "Do you want me to tell you the name? I'll break practice this time just for you."
"That's all right. It's not like I don't have fans from the past," said Sidney mysteriously.
"Well, I have to go. I have to go to back to work. Although, I am my own supervisor. I think it's time. Bye."
"Wait, Chris do you want to come over to my place for dinner? I'll try to see if I can get Angie."
"I guess so…that depends are you cooking? Because I can only come if you're ordering take out."
"Fine. I'll order takeout. I am so sorry, but no one's perfect. I won't try to subject you to my cooking. Bye, Chris."

Heero was the one who was watching her during a shift by himself. The rest of the Gundam pilots claimed they had something to do. In truth, all of them had some slight misgivings about Heero's need to continually watch her. Especially since she was doing nothing wrong.
Heero followed her when she got off work around seven. She went home, but she had messages on her machine that said that both Angie and Chris would be around at eight. So, she decided to go for a walk. She walked to the park nearby in her neighborhood. Heero followed her carefully concealing himself in the shadows. Sidney sat down on the park bench, and let out a sigh. She knew that she was being followed. So, there was no point to putting this off now.
"Heero. I know that you're there. You can come out now," said Sidney looking straight ahead at nothing in particular. Heero decided that it was best to comply with her. She knew he was there. When he came out, she looked at him.
"What no gun and death threat? Isn't that our standard greeting, Heero?" asked Sidney in a sarcastic voice.
"Hello, Relena. It's been a while," said Heero with a slight smirk on his face.
"Not long enough. Why are you here?" asked Sidney in a suspicious tone.
"To find you. You really pulled a fast one," answered Heero. He was trying very hard not to glare at her.
"Well, now that you've found me, let me make one thing clear to you. I am not going back."
"But, Relena…"
"Don't call me that!" Sidney interrupted him in a snap. She glared at him. "My name is Sidney Marquette. That's Dr. Marquette to you!" she said in a loud voice.
"Why did you leave?" asked Heero in a quiet voice "Is it because of me?"
"Oh, don't you dare flatter yourself, Heero Yuy," Sidney said in a cold, angry voice, "You can go to Hell for all I care." With that she stalked off. Leaving Heero slightly stunned.
