Quatre sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose with exhaustion. He had sat there the whole day, suspicion bringing him to watch the vehicle with weariness.He was certain there was someone in the car watching the house, but the tinted windows prevented him from knowing for sure.
The night fell eventually, coloring the sky a deep shade of blue, giving everything a haunting shadow that fell in such a way that it seemed as if it was reaching towards something in its close reach, although it seemed it was always unable to clutch it.
Heero had called earlier, reporting the safe flight and return of the business man.In the background of the phonecall, Quatre could hear the loud and whiny complaining of Duo in the back seat accompanied by Wufei's critizing insults back and forth. Rolling his eyes, he asked for Trowa on the cellphone.
" How was the trip?" He asked.
" It went well." Trowa replied " Uneventful, but it was accomplished along satisfactory regulations and within our time schedule."
Quatre raised and eyebrow. " You sounded like Heero just then.It kinda freaked me out."
At the other end of the line Trowa glanced at Heero and smiled. " I've been spending too much time with him. It gets to you after a while."
" I can imagine......." Quatre pouted,twirling the phone cord with his fingers."I miss you ,Trowa."
Trowa shifted the phone to the other ear. " I miss you too. I'll be home in a few hours, alright?"
He smiled at that. " Alright."
That was a half hour ago. Quatre sighed again and stood, streching his tired muscles and exited the room. Was it possible that he was just overreacting? There was nothing to suggest there was something wierd around the car. He had watched it until he thought his eyes were going to cross.
At the foor of the stairs, Serena had started walking up the stairs but stopped in her tracks when she saw Quatre heading down her way and gave him a smile.
" Hey."
Quatre smiled back at her and walked with her down the steps, heading towards the large kitchen.
" I didnt think you had dinner, so I cooked us something." She smiled, walking over to the stove and stared to stir some contents in a pot." I hope you like soup.It was the only quick recipe I knew, I didnt want to ransack your fridge for anything more intricate."
He smiled. " Its ok. I didnt hear you wake up and walk around down here. I guess I was really into my observation up stairs."
She furrowed her eyebrows, as if interested. " What were you watching up there?"
" Come, I'll show you."
Quatre took her hand and lead her through the halls and to a small window by the front door.Both stooped behind the window and he pointed out the dark colored car to Serena.
" I've never seen that car before and no one in this neighborhood has that model of car. Its been there since early this morning. It seems as if its just sitting there, waiting for someone. Watching in the shadows. Creepy, huh?"
Quatre looked back to Serena looking for her response, but only finding her pale and her hands shaking.Her eyes had gone wide and mouth fell open, shaking her head in an unbelieving fashion.
" Miss Serena? Are you alright?"
Her mouth could form no words. Once again,in her head, she chanted a two word though over and over again.When she found her voice, she slowly turned to Quatre, his face concerned and scared.
" What's wrong?" He tried again, softly.
" He's back......." She said at last before her eyes rolled back in her head and she fainted.
Darien nearly laughed in delight when he saw him stand and leave the window. He waited a few secounds to make sure he was gone for sure. Acting quickly, he once again grabbed his dagger and exited the car, not bothering to close the drivers side door behind him. Although it was easier to move around now it was dark, he didnt want to come in through the front door,by chance a neighbor would see.
Approaching the house, he could hardly keep in his excitement and smiled openly, an insanely anticipating smile. He had to climb over a high metal fence on the side of the house to get to the back, but he didnt complain, only limped away and hid in the darkness, waiting for the right moment to sneak in and kill Serena.
" Miss Serena! " He lunged, catching her before she fell and landed on the hard, tile floor. Grabbing her chin, he turned her face over to him and lightly slapped her cheek, but she didnt wake.His heart beat raced, and he had to brace himself as he carried her awkwardly to the library, the closest place to put her in.
Laying her down in one of the large couches, he draped a sheet over her and quickly lit a fire.Running up the stairs, he raced into one of the bedrooms and snatched the phone from before and quickly started dialing, his fingers shaking and breath ragged. She said he was back. But was he? Was that his car?!
' I cant believe I didnt tell Trowa about this when he called!' He thought. ' Of course, I didnt want him to worry over something I didnt know about.' He reasoned. Quatre returned to the window and peered out through the shades that he pulled down when he came downstairs and nearly dropped the phone.
Down in the street was Darien's car, he was indeed in that car and he left the car open.
But where was he now?
