Summary: Trowa, during a performance, had
a strange felling over him, slipped and almost died if he hadn't caught
himself. Catherine worries for her little brother. What happened to Trowa??????
A Clown's Silent Tears on the Desert Sand
The performance went on as scheduled. Everyone,
from the performers to the media, was asking the same question. What happened
to Trowa? Some reporters tried to hunt down Trowa, but he was in his room
contemplating the same question, however he couldn't seem to figure it
out. Just then a knock came at the door.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"Just me,"answered Catherine."There's a phone
call for you."
"If it's a reporter, tell them to go away!"
he replied sternly.
"It's not a reporter, Trowa. It's a Ms. Ronna
Winner."
~Ms. Winner,~ thought Trowa. ~That must be
one of Quatre's sisters.~
"Trowa?" asked Catherine.
"Where's the phone?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello?" said Trowa when he picked up the
phone from the "office".
"Is this Trowa Barton I'm speaking to?"
"Yes."
"Can you please come to the Winner Mansion
immediately?"
"Why?What happened?"
"I'm sorry. I can't tell you. I've booked
a flight for you."
"How long am I needed?"
"Not too long but I suggest you stay for
two or three days at the most." Trowa thought for a moment. Trowa could
hear a big commotion in the background but nothing that could tell him
what had happened.
"When does it leave?"
"In an hour at Port C2. There will be someone
there to pick you up when you arrive."Then Ronna hung up the phone. Trowa
also then hung up the phone and headed towards his room to pack up for
his journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Trowa, what are you doing?"asked Catherine
as she found Trowa packing his things."Who was that on the phone and what
do they want with you??"
"They want me to come to the Winner Mansion
immediately. They didn't say why." Trowa said still packing."They've already
booked me a flight there and have arranged to pick me up. It'll just be
a couple days Cathy and I don't have any performances this week. Besides,
maybe I'll find out what happened to me today."
"What happens if you get hurt Trowa?" Trowa
had just finished packing so he closed his duffel bag, through it over
his shoulder and walked up to Catherine and held her arms.
"I'll be okay. It's not like I'm going on
a mission or using HeavyArms. I'm just going to Winner Mansion for a few
days. Maybe all I need is a short vacation." He then gave a short his on
Catherine's check."It'll be only a few days. I'll be okay." Trowa then
headed out of his room and headed torwards the airport.
