"Heero?" A gentle voice asked as I slept on the couch in the lounge
the next day. I groggily opened my eyes and looked up. It was Relena. My heart
jumped into my throat.
"Yes, Relena? What is it?" I tried to sound tough, but I was not only
half asleep, but surprised at the fact she had come up to me in public.
"I was just wondering if you had gotten any information about the
Peacecraft's yet." She looked at me with imploring eyes, but her voice had
a slight edge to it. She was definitely hiding some emotion, but she was doing
it so well, I could not detect it. I looked at her and sighed.
"No, Miss Dorlin," I said, correcting my prior mistake. She reached
into her bag. "And, I have no doubt that you have some for me, eh?"
She half-smiled and handed me a folder.
"Yes, I do. I have the information that I found on the Internet, but you
are going to need to learn much more than the little I have. Mr. Yuy," she
began, and trailed off. I waited for her to resume speaking.
"Yes, Miss Dorlin?" I said, trying to inspire her to speak her mind.
"I just wanted to say... Well, be careful. They are quite a formidable
foe." I smiled for joy inside, but only nodded my head.
"Yes, Miss." I said, and she left. I sighed, and began to rifle
through the papers. There were many pages of information, and a few pictures. I
already knew a very little about the Peacecraft family. They ruled the Sank
kingdom, and the only known heir was Milliardo Peacecraft, who has since
disappeared. I questioned why Relena wanted me to destroy the family. Was it
simply because her father had warned her? Or did she have a personal vendetta to
attend to? Suddenly, I received a call on my cell phone.
"Hello? I'll be there." I collected my things and ran to my room.
Then, I jumped on my motorcycle, and got into Wing ZERO. I had a mission to
attend to.
