The woman servant from the previous moment came quietly and hastily to the two young men.
"Master Quatre, your sister, Tobi, requires a word with you." Quatre turned to face Trowa briefly then sped to his sister.
Tobi was sitting up. Her eyes locked in a cold stare at the window. She turned at the footsteps. Her dark blue eyes were dry and tired, but she needed to tell Quatre what happened. She smiled slightly at him. He knows. She could see it in his eyes. She wondered just how many people now knew of her humiliation, her sister's death. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out.
So Quatre jumped in, "I know. Your mother is she..."
"Gone? Yes.", tears seeped into her eyes. "I tried to help her but she wouldn't let me. I tried to save Kat, but..."she broke into sobs. She got herself under control just as Cecile walked in.
"We'll talk later. You two get some rest.", whispered Quatre, as the little girl snuggled up to her sister. Quatre walked into the hallway greeted by Trowa and Rashid.
"We know who he was, one of General Ziebtseine's goons. Ziebtseine's a top OZ official."
"Where do we find him?", inquired Quatre.
"He's supposed to be hiding out in eastern Eurasia."
Quatre turned to Trowa, "Coming?"
The boy made no response but followed Quatre to the gundams.
The mission itself was simple the guy was already on their list of missions. His time was just a little sooner then previously planned. The hideout was sparsely defended. They were an easy target for two. It only took an hour and General Ziebtseine was one more corpse among many other mobile suit pilots.
Quatre returned in silence. It seemed as if a whole new presence had taken over him. Seeing those you love mutilated by hateful men can have a profound effect. Trowa went home to the circus. Quatre's sisters were still fast asleep. Good, he thought, at least they can escape for awhile.
Quatre was sitting down to dinner when Ava came in. His father's second wife's death had been confirmed through the surveillance. "Are you alright?" asked Tobi.
"I will be. What about you? How is Cecile?"
"Dead asleep. I'll be alright. I'm worried about Cecile though. She's so young. Why us? Why her? She's just a child.", said Tobi playing with her food. "We can't go back that's for sure."
"Stay as long as you like.", replied Quatre quickly.
"Thank you. You know I have missed you. Cecile missed you. We all missed you.", with that Tobi stood up and went back to hold Cecile.
