Unknowingly, Relena was attacked from behind with a blow to the head. She fell over Heero, unconscious.
Heero cried out, "Relena, wake up!" There was the assailant towering over them. He would never forget that face even in death.
Heero fell into darkness.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Heero woke in a very white room. When he gathered his wits he determined it to be a hospital room. "Relena!!" He gasped in terror. He ripped out the cords attached to him and jumped of the bed. Reaching for the door he discovered Zech's scowling face staring harshly towards him. He was stunned for a second. This large man could intimidate even Heero. Heero opened the door and stepped out.
Right when he stepped through the door Zech started his tirade." What the hell happened!? Why didn't you see this coming sooner!? She's gone! It's your fault!" Zechs was in a ranting rage. Noin who was talking with a nurse down the hall noticed Heero's situation and bolted towards them. Noin gripped Zechs' arm hard, pulling him back. Heero was in a submissive mood. He didn't protest..
"Zechs, stop it! It's not his fault and you know it! He did all that he could to protect her!" Zechs yielded. He bowed his head to think. She loosened her grip and patted his arm, " calm down, there is hope left."
Heero stared at the ground, fists clenched. 'I let the only thing I yet loved in my life be taken, probably to be tortured and killed. He couldn't stop thinking of her sweet voice, her soft, womanly features and..what she said. Tears threatened to erupt from within him but he took control. Crying wouldn't bring her to safety.
He looked up. Zechs and Noin directed their attention to him. Heero adopted his usual hard determined gaze once again. "What is my part in this mission?"

Trowa sat at the computer console typing away. Trowa received the e-mail from Heero three days ago, since then Heero had been injured and Relena captured. Speed was important. For those three days he had been tracing Heero's trail he forged to discover the threat and went on to find any connections. From there he found the person who was offering the bounty. Of course he was one of the many representatives for that crime group and not the actual crime boss.
Picking up the phone he dialed Noin's cell phone (or whatever they use in the future.) "Noin, I have a trace. I'm sending you the information. I'm going to "colony Q". Goodbye." He hung up and dialed Duo's number. "Duo, I have something for you to do. Go to colony Q and meet me at the second docking port. Bye."
Trowa had some investigating to do. Trowa got up from the console, gathered his things and started for the door.
"Wait!" said Catherine, "Where are you going?"
"Preventers business."
"Again?" Catherine's Face bunched up from worry and she looked to the ground. Trowa was searching for something to say but Catherine looked up with a smile on her face. "Come back safely.." She knows she can't stop him. These things were very important to him. Although he never talked about them when he returns, she knows of what importance it is to the peace. Trowa smiled and walked on down the road, Catherine watching him as he leaves.

Trowa and Duo walked through a dark alleyway in the dilapidated section of the colony. They were in casual, colony wear. They both had worn Blue jeans. Duo had his hat and trowa his long-sleeved turtleneck. Nothing to conspicuous. Since the rouge faction called the QLO (colony Q Liberation Organization) started their operations in this section of the colony, the quality of living had dropped. The faction was like a virus that fed on the local inhabitants. The locals were forced to work for the war effort. Resistors were mysteriously murdered and they're family left to manage by themselves (which was hard since people were still recovering from the great massacre/war). After two resistors were killed and their families' left in ruin the resistance halted.
What hope these people had left was fading.
Duo whispered under his breath, "Are these people nuts? Allowing this large of a force to grow right in their neighborhood? What kind of living do they have now?" Trowa looked up at the large tower, which had two, or three rotating automated machine guns attached to the top. "Well, what is true about most humans is that they like simple solutions. Any bo-zo with- a "good idea", the ability to get a crowd fired up and the right buddies can destroy the lives of many. We preventers are here to stop that."
Just then, at the end of the alley a ball bounced across. A small girl no more than four in a grossly cute dress and braided pigtails followed it. Smack! The girl could be heard crying. Trowa and Duo ran to the girl who had apparently tripped and skinned her knee. Trowa fetched the ball while Duo comforted her. "It will be ok. It's only a little boo-boo." The girl continued to cry but at least it wasn't full force balling. That would have caught attention. Duo looked up to see the streets a pretty desolate street with a few people here-and-there. You didn't want to attract attention this close to the base. "Where is your house, um.."
"..Jaynee. It's down that way." She pointed down the street, awfully close to the base. The base was stretched from one side of the circular colony to another and covered miles of the people's limited terrain. At the corners and in the middle were the fire-power-towers-of-death. The whole thing was surrounded by high, tightly woven bob-wired fence. "Could you carry me home? My boo-boo really hurts. Please mister?" Her puppy-dog face soon followed.
"Sure, Duo can spare the time." Trowa said as he handed the ball back to the girl. The girl grinned.
She continued, "but don't go even near the fence, Ok?" I don't like that fence." Duo cocked an eyebrow (which seemed to amuse the girl) and out of curiosity asked why. "Because daddy said that if you touch it you get zapped and become fish-sticks..,or toast. I can't remember which." Duo's face grimaced. The girl giggled at his funny face.
"So, we have more to worry about," said Trowa, "I wonder if there is anything else we should be cautious of around about the security."
Duo picked up the girl. At that moment she noticed his long braid falling over his shoulder. She was genuinely amazed and gave into it's calling. She yanked on it. Who could resist? She then grabbed one of her pigtail braids and compared them. "Wow mister! I hope mine gets as long as yours! It's so pretty!" Trowa giggled. Duo chose not to respond to Trowa, instead he smiled at the girl.
They walked to her house, which was just the same as the other colony dwellers'. It was a two-family residence with two stories and a bland off- white outside. It had four windows, two on top and two on opposite sides of the door. They were no more than 3' wide and 5' tall facing the base. The girl opened the door and called for the father. "Daaaaaaad! Come see my new friends!" She about-faced and quickly asked for their names.
"Bill," said Duo.
"Michael," said Trowa.
Her father rushed to the door and hugger her tightly. This could only another infamous bear hug. Her father spoke, "Where have you been, Jaynee!!??" She couldn't answer because she was being smothered. He let her go for a moment to make sure she hadn't been hurt on her little adventure. He saw the scrape. "What happened here? There's a ..." Just then the mother arrived. The girl had to endure it again.
The father noticed the two men at the door. "Who are these people, Jaynee?"
"They carried me back when I got this boo-boo on my knee. Their names are.um."
"...Bill."
"...Michael."
The man's expression changed from relief to suspicion. Duo and Trowa felt awkward as they both stood there. Duo grinned and waved while Trowa just nodded his head. The girl lightened the tension by pulling "Bill's" braid. "isn't it pretty daddy?" Duo let out a comical "yow" which made the girl giggle even louder. "Isn't he funny?"
Her dad, although amused, lectured her not to pull on other people's hair. He then faced the two odd men and asked, "Your not from around here, Are you?"
