Chapter 4

"Respect is something I highly appreciate Miss Peacecraft."

"I do not show respect to someone who is a murderous imbecile."

The man that was her captor, and soon to be murderer, she thought, came towards her and violently slapped her across the face. The violence of the act had drawn blood from her now dry and crackled mouth.

Relena slightly elevated her head once more to look into those cruel eyes.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked with a weak voice, eyes filling with tears.

"So that I can set order in all this fucked up bullshit that you're the leader of! All I want is justice!" he answered brutally.

"Wufei…" She started, but stopped as her eyes became blurry. In seconds she had fell into unconsciousness.

Wufei came towards her, and leaned down next to her so that he could whisper in her ear.

"If you do not surrender I will drug you even more, and all the pain I've inflicted you so far will be nothing compared to the suffering you will have… you could even die." He said calmly with a smirk forming on his lips.

Looking at her, he stood up and caressed the top of her head. She was indeed beautiful…

Glancing at her unconscious form one last time, and taking on the beauty of the woman he fell in love with, he retired from the room.

'Come and get her Heero…' He thought as he went through the door.

****

"Attention please. All passengers for Colony L5 destination, please board the shuttle gate 11, Thank you."

'About time.' Thought Heero as he picked up his backpack.

He had been waiting for hours it seemed, even though it had only been a couple of minutes: thirty-five at the most. He was nervous… He couldn't wait until he had her in his arms. The only thing that was worth living to him, the only thing he cherished more than anything else. She had so much meaning… She touched people's hearts with her beliefs, her smile, her kindness, her courage... He had loved her since the minute he had set his eyes upon her. She was like an angel coming down from heaven to save him, him a meaningless soldier.

Sitting down in his reserved seat, all those thoughts kept coming back to him like never-ending train of thoughts, memories…

"Would you like anything sir?" Asked the hostess a couple of minutes after take-off.

"No, thanks." Replied Heero coldly and with a still face.

'What I'd like would be the head of the one that pulled this abduction.' He thought to himself.

****

'I can't just sit around and wait like that!' Thought Duo. 'I have to do something about the situation!'

Sitting at his desk in his preventer's office, Duo was fuming. His best friend was off to some unknown place that Zechs refused to discuss with him, he is probably in great danger, the Vice Foreign Minister is still kidnapped, and he doesn't even know if he's ever going to see them again…

The pencil that Duo was playing with suddenly broke with the pressure he implied on the two extremities. Violet eyes watching the broken pencil, he thought of something. Throwing the now useless pencil in the trashcan situated right beside his desk, Duo picked up his communicator that was on his desk and dialed Quatre's number.

"Hi, Mister Quatre Winner's office, how can I help you?" Asked a middle- aged woman that appeared on the screen.

Her long blond hair surrounding her gorgeous face, and her blue eyes made him recall a face that he once knew.

"Alexa?"

"Duo!"

Duo smirked. "Nice to see you." He said.

They looked at each other for a couple of seconds, both feeling the uneasiness coming between them. Duo was looking at her with those cold eyes and this expressionless face as he remembers their past together.

Alexa was one of Quatre's older sisters. A little bit after the Marimaia incident, Duo had flirted around with her, hiding it from the jealous personality of Hilde. Innocent flirting became more, and in a couple of weeks it had gone out of control between them. A couple of weeks later, they decided to part, knowing that their story would be a mistake. As much as Duo loved Hilde, he had never been a one woman man.

"Nice to see you too." Finally replied Alexa uneasily.

"Is Quatre there?"

"Yes. Just a moment." Said Alexa with a shy smile, which made Duo show her one of his now rare ones.

Quatre appeared on the communicator screen. His traits had also grown tired. The eighteen years old boy seemed exhausted and apparently paying more attention to his piles of paperwork than to Duo. Quatre had not lost any of his facial expressions though. Still looking innocent, you could see the brain in these childish eyes.

"Hey Quatre."

At that moment Quatre, who hadn't known that Duo was on his communicator screen, elevated his head and gave Duo the brightest smile, which only caused Duo to grin knowing the gravity of the situation. Quatre immediately picked up that something was definitely wrong. Having known Duo for a couple of years now, the former pilot was not displaying his usual optimism. Pushing one strand of blond hair out of his pale face, Quatre put down his pen, and his crystal blue eyes focused on Duo.

"Hello Duo. How have you been? I can already tell something is not well." Said Quatre taking a serious tone.

"You guessed right… Did you hear that Relena got kidnapped?"

"Yes, I had the knowledge about this. Have you found the one responsible for it yet?"

"One of us did…"

"Who? Nevermind… I already know. Is our perfect soldier?" Asked Quatre knowingly.

"You guessed right again. There is a couple of problems though, and I need your help."

"Ok. I'm listening."

****

Quatre had been furious at what Duo had revealed to him. Heero was gone alone on a suicidal mission to save Relena, refusing any back-ups.

"What went through his head? Is he nuts?"

"Well, literally speaking… yes." Replied Duo who was sitting across from him.

After their conversation through the communicators, Quatre had invited Duo to visit him on Colony L4 to work further on the problems. Duo had taken the first shuttle available.

"Why won't Zechs tell you where he is?"

"He trusts Heero's capacities apparently. He said that if Heero said he didn't want any back-ups we should respect his decision… but I don't know. I don't feel too good about doing that."

"Me neither." Said Quatre as he was now up and looking out the window that was situated behind his seat. The luxuriance of his office was quiet exceptional. The furniture being all made out of ebony, the walls painted in a golden shade, the sofas dating from 1700s BC… Everything was well disposed in the very spacious room. From the window you could see most of the town. Quatre would lose himself for hours watching at night this city he grew up in.

"I know who could find out faster than we could where Heero is."

He faced Duo and took the communicator.

"Alexa?" He asked as he pushed the button to have a hold of her.

"Yes?" She answered after a few seconds.

"Dial Trowa Barton's number for me please."
