"How did you know the room was bugged, Tori?" Hera asked, curious as ever.

"Well, as I was leaving your room a few hours ago, I noticed something shining on the square window of your door. I looked up and noticed the tiniest bit of silver poking out of a hole in the wall, and decided to check it out. So, I got a camera out of my pocket and planted it on the opposite wall so I could inspect it. So that the sound bug couldn't see it, I put my jacket on top of it. I looked at it, and it turned out that it was actually one of J-man's creations."

She nodded in approval.

"Laptop."

He passed it over.

"Is that all that you can say?" He asked, not trying to mask the fact that he was majorly annoyed.

"Hello Tori, how was your day?" She asked sarcastically, putting on a fake smile for a few seconds.

"Funny. Real funny. Whatever. Aren't you in the least bit worried about yourself? How are you anyway?" He added tentatively.

"I'm fine. I should really get out of here, considering I'm feeling so great!"

"No-way! Look at you. You're soaking wet, you look like hell, you haven't eaten properly in days, how the hell can you be alright?" Tori demanded.

She shook her head, ignoring the fact that he had just insulted her appearance.

"What am I going to do about Heero, Tori? Every time I get near him, I feel strange, like I shouldn't be there, and like it's just a dream. I feel weak all of a sudden. And besides, the longer I stay here, the more trouble ~he~ will be in."

"I... I... I'm working on it Hera." He laid a soothing hand on Hera's hand.

A tingling sensation went coursing through her spine. This was new. It was scary in a way.

She freed her hand from Tori's, and tried to smile apologetically.

"Sorry. I just want to download erm... this thing."

She blushed slightly.

`Did she just blush?' Tori found himself thinking, `What is this world coming to? But she does look kind of cute when she blushes...'

A red light started flashing in the bottom right-hand corner, interrupting Tori's thoughts - all of them except one: `Damn e-mail.'

"Who knows this e-mail address, Tori? Didn't you download a completely new server?"

He nodded. "I did. No-one should know." He shrugged, disturbed. No one should know... but apparently someone did...

She glanced at the screen. "Heero, who else?"

He nodded.

Hera,

How are you? We (Heero and I) were wandering if you could meet us in room 215 at 5:15am this morning? We know you're awake. Please reply A.S.A.P.

Duo Maxwell

"No-way," replied Tori at once.

"Why? It may be something important." She argued, the secret desire to see Heero again clouding her rational thoughts.

"Or, it could have come from *him*. You know that, Hera. Your defence is crumbling, get a grip."

"Wait, there's a P.S.," Said Hera, not paying attention to what Tori had said.

PS. Bring Tori with you if you can.

Hera looked pleadingly at Tori and pouted, just a little ... `Thank God I was taught to act' she thought.

"Fine, we can go now." Tori grinned at Hera. How could he refuse that face? She'd been so depressed lately, he had to think of *something* to cheer her up, right?

Hera grinned, and shut down her laptop.
