Duo turned on some dance music and everybody grooved. At ten, the doorbell rang. The music was turned down and Trowah answered the door. An OZ soldier! The soldier couldn't see Trowah's left hand as he hung out the door. Trowah made a signal, and Quatre gave him his gun.
"Can I help you?" Trowah asked in his cool voice. The soldier shoved a package into Trowah's hands, saluted, and left. Trowah closed the door, and entered the living room with the package. He looked it over.
"Who was that?" Wufei asked when nobody else did.
"An OZ soldier." He replied nonchalantly.
"What?" The guys and girls exclaimed. The guys all whipped out their guns and hurried to the door. The soldier was gone, of course.
"Trowah, why in hell didn't ya shoot 'im?" Duo demanded angrily.
"He gave this to me. It's addressed to Relena."
"What?"
"It could be a bomb!" Dorothy cried with genuine fear.
"Let me have it." Relena reached for it and Trowah handed it over. She yanked off the tape of the heavy brown box. She opened the flaps carefully.
The whole thing exploded in their faces.
