He walked outside the small tavern and dragging a highly drunken body. He could not believe that in just five minutes his absent-minded partner had gotten drunk and in trouble. Luckily he knew how to manage these sorts of situations. Just pull out a gun and shoot someone who tried anything funny. That usually worked. He looked down at the puffy faced lad before him. "Duo get up." He calmly stated.

"Aww Heero, don't be a grump! I didn't mean to get in to a mess we were just having some fun!" Duo hiccuped while grinning. Heero ignored his comrade. He really didn't want to deal with him this time. "OK, ok maybe I drank a little over the limit." Duo said smiling innocently which Heero clearly did not buy. He mounted his horse and glanced at Duo.

"Can you remind me why I let you be my partner?" He said as Duo mounted his horse a little shaky and smiled at him goofyly.

"Because you love me?" Heero looked at him in slight discuss. He was really drunk this time.

"Let's just go." He said moving on.

The sound of machinery and the mass of people could easily overpower a new comer but he was used to it for he was no newcomer to America. He sure looked it though. He walked of the train platform and began searching for the Sheriff. He was supposed to be here by now. He scowled. Chang Wufei did not like waiting. He looked up once more and saw a young man approaching him. "Excuse me sir, but would you happen to know a man by the name Chang Wufei?"

Wufei smiled. "It depends on who's asking."

"So then, Mr. Chang will you be accompanying me?" The young man stated. Wufei looked at his exposed forest green eye and nodded. He walked with the stranger until he got to a large black carriage. From outside you could see a white hat sitting patiently. The green-eyed man motioned for Wufei to get in. He did just as he was told and entered the carriage followed by the tall stranger.

"Wufei how have you been? I believe you've already met my son, Trowa." Welcomed the owner of the white hat now showing his full-grown graybeard.

"I believe I have," Wufei answered nodding at the tall man beside him. "As for my well being, I've been quite fine but I must know why did you require of my services Mr. Barton?"

" We seem to have a pest control problem in Santa Marina." The old man answered.

"Would you happen to have heard about Mr. Shields?" Trowa quickly spoke up not looking at Wufei.

"I may have. Why?"

"Well Mr. Chang, We've got a pretty nice offer for his entrapment. Would you like to participate?" Trowa intrigued. Wufei thought for a moment. This would be nice addition. He quickly made a decision.

" What's the plan?"

"Rei! How could you just knock him up like that? You know better." Scolded a blonde while roaming through the small room.

"That happened yesterday Mina and at least I don't go flaunting myself at everyone that comes my way!" The fiery ebony haired beauty angrily spat. Mina stopped walking. She squeezed the shirt as if to strangle it. She slowly walked back up to Rei and looked at her hard. She had gone too far this time.

"Rei Hartfield what I do is my buisnness, none other and I suggest you to think before you open that big horrible mouth of yours." She calmly warned and began making her way out of the room.

"Mina."

"Save it." With that the golden beauty left.

Rei sat there in regret. She had hurt her where it hurt the most. How could she have been so blind? Now she was loosing a friend thanks to this dishonoring life. What would her parents say? But then again they couldn't say anything because they abandoned her. They left her when she needed them the most. But it wasn't their fault was it, that they had to be victims to that despicable man. Darien Shileds.

"Rei, what happened?" Rei looked up to find the bundle of joy, Serena. She looked away and continued to sit on the bed. Serena came up to her and sat next to her. "Look at me! Come, tell me, please?"

Rei looked up at her. She saw Serena's understanding eyes. The eyes that could calm a soul and bring smile upon your face, and the eyes that unfortunately attracted men's lust and brought her terror. Rei smiled at her.

"I said something I shouldn't have to Mina. Don't worry I'll go talk to her." She said and stood up.

"Wait! Was it about." Serena saw Rei nod and leave the room.

"That's always the way it is. argue, talk, makeup." A tall stranger came up. "Come on, wanna help me with the drinks?"

"Yes, just tell me what to do Lita." Serena piped up and followed her as she walked out to the small bar table where a few men where sitting in. Lita handed her a long bottle.

"Shake it slowly and pour it in those glasses." She ordered while she got the rest of the concoction ready. It seemed easy enough. Serena shook the bottle and when she tried to open it the cork came flying out. Lita swept down to dodge it but the lad behind her wasn't as fast and fell victim to the speeding cork. Serena looked at him with worry in her eyes. "Serena I said to shake it slowly!"

"But I did." Serena defended as Lita rushed to the fallen boy. She shook his shoulders but it didn't seem to be working.

"Sere, pass me a glass of water." Serena did as she was told and gave Lita the glass. Lita quickly splattered it across his face, which he reacted at it with a jump. " Are you alright?"

The young man smiled at Lita. "Now that you're here I am."

Lita glared at him and stood up. "He's fine." Serena helped the stranger up.

"Sorry about that partner. Don't know my own strength sometimes." She offered an apologetic smile.

"Call me Duo, mam', Duo Maxwell." The lad introduced while shifting his hat. "Who might you be little lady?"

Serena looked at him and smiled. "Now you should know I don't do nights." Duo looked at her confused. Serena saw his confusion and got confused at the same. "You're not from around here are ya?" She asked coming to realization. The one named Duo winked at her.

"Shhh. It's a secret." He offered. So he didn't wanted to tell. For all she knew he was probably just a bounty hunter. A very bad bounty hunter, but quite charming none the less.

"I guess a name shouldn't matter, Serena Whiteheart here." She said and stretched out her hand. Duo took her hand and kissed it quickly shoving his glance at the tall brunette by the bar. "Don't get your hope's up. She isn't an easy catch." She said taking notice of the quick movement. Duo looked up at her and grinned.

"Well I can try. I be guessing I'll be seeing ya's later." He informed as he saw the brunette approaching him. "Good day Serena, mam'." He moved towards Lita, waved and left.

This might actually be a nice place to start looking for Shields. Everyone knew how he had a liking for the ladies. It was the obvious place and this time Duo Maxwell could have some fun at it. Not that he ever missed it anyway.
