Chapter Three: What?!
She stared out the window of the vehicle and watched a group of teenagers that looked to be about her age laughing and fooling around with each other as they drove past. She sighed wistfully. 'Why can't I be like them?' she asked herself silently. 'Why can't I be a normal teenager?' She closed her eyes and let her head drop back against the seat, knowing the answer to the question. Relena couldn't be a normal teenager. She was born into the Peacecraft family- head of the Sanc Kingdom. Relena was once the queen of the kingdom, but now she was the vice foreign minister of ESUN; the Earth Sphere Unified Nations. She had too many responsibilities to be a normal teenager.
Relena let out an undignified snort of laughter. 'A normal teenager... What exactly is that?'
The limousine door next to her opened and Wufei stood holding it open. "Are you coming, woman?"
She snapped out of her reverie and looked up at the Preventer in surprise. "I... I hadn't realized we had stopped." Relena unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the limo. She looked around her, then turned her attention to the building they stood infront of.
They walked up to the door that Wufei held open for her in silence. She gave him a nod of thanks when she stepped through the doorway of the office building ahead of him. She looked around and took in her surroundings, liking the flower bouquets set up on the tables.
"This way."
Relena turned at the sound of Wufei's gruff voice and complied. She followed him down a bright corridor and stopped infront of a door when he did. "It's alright, Wufei. You don't have to come in with me. I don't want you to be bored by having to sit in the political meeting with me."
The Preventer frowned, his deep brown eyes burning into hers. "I'm going in with you." He turned to the door and knocked on it once before turning the handle and opening it.
Smiling and holding her head high, she stepped past him into the conference room. "Sorry I'm late," she apologized to the high-ranking officials that sat around the table inside.
"Don't worry about it, vice-foreign minister Darlian," replied a man of many years, his green eyes held a special twinkle within their depths. "Please, have a seat."
Relena crossed the room in a few long strides and took her seat next to the man. Her gaze swept across the many faces in the room, noting that she was many years younger than even the youngest official there.
"Before you arrived, Miss Darlain," The old man, George Wright, continued. "We were discussing the situation of colony LX-528989 and minister Grant."
"The situation of colony LX-528989? Minister Grant?" Confusion flashed in the young polititian's eyes. She turned her attention to the Preventer that leaned against a wall in the back of the room. "Why wasn't I informed that there were any 'situations'?"
Wufei met her gaze and shook his head.
Relena frowned at the lack of communication between her and the Preventers. She turned her attention back to Wright, "please, sir," she insisted. "Continue."
~~*~~
Relena once again sat in the back of the limo that was on it's way back to the mansion. She frowned, thinking of the situation on colony LX-528989 that she was just briefed in in the meeting. 'They killed him? They killed foreign minister Grant?' She shook her head and turned her eyes from the floor to the window, watching the trees as the limo drove past them. 'I thought that ESUN made most of the colonies happy. Why are the people doing this? Why are they trying to break the peace we have all worked so hard for?' Her attention switched back to the road they were driving on. 'We've got to take care of these terrorists before they do anything else.'
The limousine stopped when it reached the mansion she lived in. Pagan, her butler, opened the limo door and Relena stepped out, smiling gently at the old man. "Good afternoon, Pagan."
"Good afternoon, miss Darlian."
She made her way up the steps and opened the mansion door.
Wufei, who had been silent the entire ride, followed behind her. He watched her silently from behind, purposely not walking next to her. He knew she was not happy with the lack of communication between her and the Preventers in the colony LX-528989 situation. Or the foreign minister Grant situation. But the truth of the matter, was that the Preventers didn't know about them either. Or at least HE didn't know about it.
When she opened the door, the mansion's familiar interior greeted her. She stepped inside and left the door open for the following Wufei to walk through. "Noin? Milliardo?" She frowned when no one answered her. "Noin? Mill-"
"-They aren't here," a slightly deep voice interrupted.
Relena turned at the sound of his voice. "Where are they, Heero?"
The young Preventer, who was also her body guard, acknowleged her question with a nod. "They said they had something to take care of, and for you not to worry."
Her eyebrows furrowed and a frown replaced her smile. "Does it have something to do with colony LX-528989? Something to do with the death of foreign minister Grant?" For a moment, something flashed in his blue eyes. To Relena, it looked like surprise, but it disappeared before she could be certain.
"How did-"
Wu-fei, who stood behind her interrupted Heero's sentence. "No. Don't worry about the colony, woman. We'll take care of it."
Relena turned to Wu-fei, anger glittered in her eyes. "Do you mean you, the Preventers, will take care of it? Just like they informed me of this situation?" She shook her head furiously. "No. I am the vice foreign minister- this is my business, and I will NOT be shut out of it."
"Relena," Heero said in his usual mono-tone voice. "This is why the Preventer organization was created. It's our job to handle these type of situations."
The young woman turned her attention back to him. "Oh, yes," she said, her voice full of sarcasm. "You guys are doing a fantastic job." She shook her head, not accepting their proposal. "Who is next, Heero? Will it be general Wright? Will it be me? Will it be the president?" she demanded angrily. "Tell me that, Heero Yuy. Tell me who will be the next to die. If you don't have an answer to that, then you have no right to try to keep me in the dark. For all we know, I'm next. Therefore, it IS my business!"
"Relena," Heero frowned. "You're not going to get killed."
"How do you know that, Heero?" Relena countered. She crossed her arms tightly across her chest.
"I won't allow it to happen to you."
She shook her head vehemently. "It's not me that I'm worried about, Heero. I am prepared to die at any time. I am worried about the president. Worried about the citizens of ESUN."
After a moment, she shook her head and the look in her eyes told them that her political personality was now showing. In a very professional tone, she looked Heero in the eyes and said sternly, "I'm going to go up to my room to do some work. Hold any and all press calls- I am not to be disturbed. I must write a speech for the press conference tomorrow. The people of this nation will be expecting to hear from me. I cannot disappoint them."
With that, she turned on her heel and marched up the stairs, not looking back at the two Preventers who watched her retreating figure from below.
