"All our times have come,
Here but now they're gone.
Seasons don't fear the reaper.
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain.

We can be like they are.
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper."

Trowa didn't flinch as the barrel of Quatre's gun was aimed at his head; he just continued to glare at Quatre. "And be sure, Trowa, that I will find that *cop* and make sure he suffers as well." Quatre's voice was cold, his eyes hard as he stared at Trowa. He had loved Trowa for years, longer then Trowa had known that other man. He should have been Trowa's lover, not some sniveling detective. "It isn't fair, but I'm going to make it fair."

Trowa let his glare slip slightly, and sighed, "I'm sure that will solve everything." He watched as Quatre's glare softened slightly, "I love him, Quatre and you never had a chance against that."

"You didn't give me a CHANCE!!" Quatre growled, realizing a moment later he was probably being a bit too loud.

Heero stood there, his eyes fixed on the man pointing the gun his way. He could fell Duo's gaze upon him several times over the next few seconds, but he ignored it. He wasn't going to take his eyes off his target and his fingers tightened around the gun that he still had in his hand by his side.

"Well, well. Which one of you is the cop my son has just been telling me about." Trieze looked both men over, but then his gaze rested on Heero. "Must be you." He smirked, "You are killing me over and over with your eyes, aren't you boy?"

"I'm not a boy." Heero growled, "And yes, if you must know, I am and soon it will not just be in my mind."

Trieze had to laugh at that, "Such a daring young man, considering I have a gun aimed at your head."

"I'm not afraid."

"Oh, but you should be."

"You didn't give me a CHANCE!!" A voice was heard from behind a closed door. Duo's eyes darted to the side, towards the noise, not being able to help himself. Heero and Trieze on the other hand kept their eyes trained on each other.

"My son is just taking care of a little unfinished business." Trieze explained. "But, that is no matter. Let me ask a few questions. What is you name, boy?" Trieze was addressing Heero.

"That's none of your fucking business." Heero growled, suddenly his arm shooting up and his gun now trained on Trieze. "I don't have to answer any of your ques-" Before Heero could finish his sentence a sharp pain ran up his hand. He hadn't even realized it, but within the second of him raising his gun, before he himself could pull the trigger, Trieze had beaten him to it and had shot Heero's gun out of his hand. Heero took in a quick breath as his one hand cradled his now injured one.

"Now, now. Let's not be too hasty." Trieze smirked, his eyes turning towards Duo. "It seems your friend here wants to rush things along."

Duo was frozen, he hadn't even heard the shot, but there was Heero with blood dropping from his right hand. After a second glance to Trieze's gun and noticed a silencer on the barrel of his weapon. 'That's why…'

Heero growled softly as the pain continued to pulse through out his hand. He knew that had been a stupid idea, now he didn't even have his weapon. 'Shit, what am I going to do now?...'

=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Trowa shook his head, "No, because I knew it wouldn't work out."

"How did you know?" Quatre's shoulders hunched slightly as he was slowly becoming defeated.

"I just did."

"That's not an answer." Quatre growled, suddenly his determination returning full force. "But, it doesn't matter. I don't care anymore. Good-bye Trowa." Quatre gave Trowa a soft smile as he steadied the gun once more. Trowa's eyes widened slightly as his mind raced for something to do, and fast.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Trieze had to smile at the two men that were in front of him. For cops they sure seemed to be losing more and more of their cool. Trowa's boyfriend was now seething and the other was looking more and more frantic. It was just too amusing. "You both are quite fun. It's a shame I couldn't keep you around longer. But it was not meant to be." Slowly Trieze stood up, that smile still there. Suddenly a shot rang out through the apartment, coming from the same room the voice had been heard earlier, and cutting of Trieze's next thought. "Well, it seems my son is finished, so I might want to wrap this up as wel-" Another shot rang out, cutting him off. Trieze frowned slightly at that, 'What did Quatre need two shots for?...'

'Trowa?...' Heero's eyes finally moved off of Trieze and went to Trowa's bedroom door that was down the small hall in the apartment. 'God, please let him be alright.'

"Well, I'm sorry you two weren't as talk-a-tive as I would have liked. But I suppose you can't have everything, now can you?" Trieze chuckled a little, raising his gun and aiming it at Heero's head. "You first, since you were the one to cause my pet to lose his cool." It was then Trowa's bedroom door slowly began to open, Trieze kept his back to the door, "Come son, watch."

"Wait."

CCT: Well, you have reached the end of what I have written so far. ^^; I started this fanfic in Feb. 2001! School work and other things have hampered my writing and also made me forget where this fic was actually heading! But, hopefully with some encouraging reviews I can pick up where I left off. ^__~ And maybe get back my story. Hehehe.

Well, since I am a little bored, and I wanted to make up for how short some of these chapters have been, I'll tell you little bit about how I came up with the idea for this fic. I was in January of 2001 when I bought a doujinshi from ebay. It was one with a Trowa and Wufei pairing. It was called "Lies and Truth". In it (from what I can tell, since I can't read kanji) Trowa was an assassin and was hired to kill Wufei, but never did and one thing led to another. Well I loved how Trowa was in this, how he looked and such, so I wanted to use Trowa as an assassin in a fic! And my favorite pairing is Heero and Trowa, so I made Heero his love and decided he should be a detective! And then I thought that the whole botched assassin attempt was cool, so took that too. Mmm, and then my fanfic started to take shape. ^__^ So this fic is all because of a doujinshi I read! Hehehe! And that's all. o.o Let me have some reviews!
