*a quiet childish voices speaks from the shadows, waking her* You cant keep it a secret you know...

Kit: *sits up suddenly* Who are you?! What do you want?!*looks frantically around*

Mara: *steps from the shadows into the faint glow cast by the moonlight through the window, wearing a white flannel night gown and looking as creepy as one of the children of the corn with her ice blue eyes that seem to glow eerily*

Kit: *screams a little and scrambles back in her bed* What - what are you doing here!

Mara: *opens the window she was standing by and lets a breeze flow silently through the room* No one can keep a secret for long... *her white teeth flash in a grin* Even me...I have my own secret...

Kit: *scoots back farther in her bed* You! You're gonna turn me in!

Mara: Why do you think OZ knew of the Pilot's whereabouts? Blood is thicker than water... I still serve my grandfather... Leader of OZ... I'm a sort of "inside spy" if you will... those stupid Preventers never should have trusted me... they should have listened to that Dorothy Catalonia.. she knew.. but I made sure she was silenced.. *grins evilly* If I turn you into OZ they might even make ME leader... Oh to have such power once again...

Kit: *stares at her* You! You're the one! You know what I know!

Mara: As of tomorrow night your precious Duo and those other sniveling idiots will be destroyed... and you can't do anything about it! In fact maybe I'll have Duo taken to the OZ head quarters... I'll have him tortured and make you watch! I'll pretend to be captured as well and tell him YOU betrayed him! *Laughs maliciously* Just like you betrayed your family...

Kit: *sits up* You wouldn't! I'll stop you! I didn't betray them! I didn't! That was a different me! I never killed my family!!!!

Mara: You think Duo's going to care about that when he's in chains being burned to death by a flame thrower?... or.... shot repeatedly... or...or... heheee... the possibilities of torture are endless!

Kit: I'll stop you! I swear I will! *sits up farther in her bed*

Mara: And what are you going to do? Tell them of my plans? You think they'll actually believe you?! You who they've only known a day?! They'll turn you in themselves and my plan for massacre will go on without a hitch!

Kit: Duo! Duo will believe me!

Mara: *smiles* Oh yes he would... but alas, Duo is, as of this moment, being taken out of his room by some of my agents who work as staff here... I put drugs in his dinner...

Kit: * jumps out of the bed* You little! You hurt him I'll kill you! You know me, You know I can kill almost anything, and even you are not immortal, Mara. *sneers*



*A figure moves out of the shadows by the door*

Duo: *grins at Kit* My my, I didn't know you cared... *turns to Marameiai* I've been watching you... I suppose you didn't notice when I didn't eat my dinner? You actually think I'd leave her alone, especially when I suspect you? I wasn't sure before but when I saw you in the garden I knew... you were just trying to get her to tell you she was a "traitor" YOURE THE TRAITOR MARIEMAI KUSHRENADA!

Kit: *looks at Duo* Duo! You're ok!

Mara: *eyes widen then she pulls a gun from nowhere and points it at Kit* YOU MAKE ONE STEP DUO AND I'LL KILL HER! *sneers* just like I killed Lily!...

Duo: *eyes widen* No.... you... killed...Lily?...

Kit: *looks from Duo to Mara* Duo! She won't kill me I know too much, I'm valuable, run while you still can!

Duo: *is in shock* N...no... She killed...Lily...

Mara: *Smiles* Yes I killed her... she suspected me as well and confronted me about it... the fool...

Duo: *Screams* YOU KILLED THE ONLY GIRL I EVER LOVED?!!!!*Lunges at Mara*

Kit: *jumps and knocks Duo out of the way* No! She'll kill you!



*Duo and kit roll out of the way just as Mara pulls the trigger and shoots a hole in the carpet*

Duo: *glares* gee Mara, you have such good aim *grins like a smart ass*

Kit: *jumps up and lunges at Mara, knocking the gun from her hand* Foolish child! You'll bring the others!

Duo: *sighs* That may not be such a bad idea... they need to know that Marimeiai is a traitor...

Kit: *stands staring at mara* Then go get them, I can handle her * grabs Mara's arms*

Duo: *comes back in a few minutes later with Heero behind him*

Heero: *pulls out a gun and levels it to Mara's head* Kit, let go of her... I'll take it from here...

Kit: *slowly lets go of her and backs away*

Heero: *grabs Mara by the arm and turns her over to Zechs and Une who had just appeared in the doorway* *turns to Kit* Are you all right?

Kit: *looks around aware that everyone knows somethings up with her now* I'm fine...

Relena: *walks into the room* Hello... Kit is it? I'm Vice Foreign Minister Relena Dorlian... *motions for everyone but Duo and Kit to leave* *after they leave she turns back to Kit* Now I know that you worked for OZ... but I also understand the circumstances under which you had to serve them... you had no choice and all of us understand that... we will NOT turn you in... in fact... we will keep you safe for as long as you want...

Kit: * looks at Relena* You don't know anything, all you know is that I worked for them, you have no idea...*turns away*

Relena: Maybe I dont, but this is a high security facility and there are cameras everywhere in the grounds... I already saw the tape of you and Mara talking in the garden... you said OZ killed your family and captured you... now that doesn't seem like you worked for them willingly now does it?

Kit: *raises her eyebrow* What makes you think I was talking the truth?

Relena: Because if Duo can trust you so can I... were you telling the truth?

Kit: *turns back to face them* Not the entire truth, as you did I suspected Mara, and she knows about me, so not the whole truth was told...but she knew it already

Relena: *uses her most diplomatic persuasive voice* Would you like to tell us now? None is here but Duo and me, and whatever is said in this room will never leave it... you may be able to help us defeat OZ...

Kit: If I were to help you, where would that leave me? They know where Mara is, Mara told them I'm here, they'll come for me any moment now..

Duo: *takes her hand* Then I can get you outta here.. I promise you'll be safe... I have lotsa friends in lotsa places... we can always stay one step ahead of OZ... I've been hiding all my life... it wouldn't be any different now and I'd enjoy the company...I'm so good at hiding that even Heero can't find me most of the time.

Kit: *pulls away* You think it will work!? It wont! They're every where, and they'll do anything to get me! I know things that I'm not supposed to, they know I could spill at any moment....

Duo: *raises his eyebrows* How the heck do you think I haven't been caught in 3 years.. they CAN'T find us! It ALAWAYS works! OZ leaders are stupid.. they belive in honorable battles, not guerrilla tactics...

Kit: *looks darkly at him* If you were OZ you would want me back....*sighs* but if it can help, I'll go with you

Duo: *grins* You've made the right choice... *turns to Relena* Rel, think you can handle transportation, fake ID's, and passports?

Relena: *nods*

Duo: *turns to Kit* well… looks like you're going to die your hair blonde *grins*

Kit: *makes a face* Blonde! I hate blonde!

Duo: *shrugs* well you are dieing your hair.. and getting contacts... you are gunna hafta look completely different...

Kit: *sighs* Ok, anything but blonde though!

Duo: *looks at Kit* I suppose you should get some sleep, we'll be leaving very early in the morning...

Kit: *nods and looks at Relena* Yes, sleep is good.

Duo: *leaves the room whistling nonchalantly*

Relena: *looks at Kit* Will you be all right? I can send in guards to guard you if you want...

Kit: *looks back at her, not totally trusting her* I'm perfectly fine, thank you...

Relena: *nods* Goodnight then *leaves the room*

Kit: *smirks after her and goes back to bed* Finally
