Part Three
***
Heero walked with a brisk clip up the velveteen stairs to the royal chamber floor. He stomped past Milliardo Peacecraft's rooms, and passed the few non-bloodline quarters, which belonged to Noin and Pagan. He was abruptly stopped by a flock of policemen standing in front of him, guns and bullbats at the ready in front of the red-taped door leading to Relena's chambers. "Leave or be arrested," one such officer said, releasing the safety on his gun. His green eyes were bright with adrenaline.
"Get out of my way."
"We can't do that, buddy. Leave or I'll have Officer Simons arrest you for interfering with a police investigation." He nodded to a large man with red hair who removed his cuffs from their pouch on his belt. "Cease and desist."
"Get out of my way."
"Arrest him, Officer Simons."
"Omae wa korosu." He brought the edge of his hand down hard on the back of Officer Simons neck as he nimbly sidestepped the police officer.
"Captain! We have an intruder! He's--" The green-eyed officer was cut off as he was thrown backwards by the side kick delivered to his chest, breaking his sternum. Heero picked up the hand held com unit.
"Officer Gibbs! Officer Gibbs, please respond! Do you copy?" came the voice of what was obviously the Captain.
"Officer Gibbs is unconscious so he can not answer you presently. Neither can Officer Simons. If you wish to be able to speak with any of your other officers, force them to get the fuck out of my way!" Heero yelled into the comlink.
"Who the hell are you?"
"I am Heero Yuy. Now order your men to get out of my fucking way before I..."
"Never. You're interfering with a p-p-police inve-vestigation..." The Captains voice faltered as the name registered in his mind.
"Omae wa korosu if you do not allow me to do my job."
"C-C-Cease and d-d-desist, m-m-men." He ordered shakily over the comlink. They glared at Heero in fear and anger, but stepped aside. He walked through the red tape without so much as a glance on either side, dropping the comlink into Officer Gibbs' limp hand.

In Relena's chambers, Heero searched through everything. He looked where the police did not. He destroyed her dresser, ripping out the drawers and scattering the clothes. He rummaged through everything, furious at the lack of evidence. The gun in the back of his pants was tantalizing him to shoot something out of frustration. He walked into the bathroom, intending to clear his head with some cool water when he saw something the police had not: a rag with chloroform. He did not actually see it before he knew it was there, but instead smelt it. He moved the rag and found a piece of paper underneath. He read the note inscribed on it:
Relena Dorlian/Peacecraft is being help as a prisoner of war... Among other things. She will NOT be returned until the Earth agrees that the present course of peace is impossible and that WAR is necessary for all life.
Heero resisted the urge to shred the paper. Instead, he shredded the towel. He was growling under his breath as he stared at the terrible note in his hand.
"Hey--"
His gun was in his hand before the word was said, and the man who said it almost received a decorative bullet hole in his forehead. He glared his usual death glare at the intruder.
