Part: II
Author's Note at the end on the progress of this story.

"'Anti-terrorist organizations funded by the government shall be exempt from providing employee records except during trials having to do with the rulings concerning the decisions of operatives.' This doesn't help you."

"The case has to do exactly with, 'the legality of allowing minors to work for governmental agencies,' if I am correct."

"I'll trust that you are, Miss Une. So it will be against the constitution to call up your applications or pay records, correct?" At her nod he continues on, "You left the other names off of this list because…"

"The suit is against my employment of full time operatives, Mister Greenwood, not against hiring minors."

"You have to know that the state will call up the 'harmful risk and danger clause,'" Greenwood says intensely.

Lady Une stares evenly at him.

"Amendment 12, 'No minor shall be exposed to undue harmful risk and danger, including but not limited to mortal danger of any sort,'" Heero recites.

"They might as well hit us with the fact that the three of you are living by yourselves," Une mutters, looking down at her hands. "Mister Greenwood, are you prepared to defend our side of the case as we wish it to be defended?"

"I have to say, Miss Une, some of your methods, those I've seen here this morning, leave me in more than a little doubt as to what defending your case will entail. I want to defend your case, because I believe that these young men are doing their civic duty in defending the nation, but I do not wish to step over the line of the law."

"Rest assured that if you were to defend this case no laws would be broken on our part, and we would not expect you to break any for us."

"Then I feel that I am prepared to defend this case fully and to the best of my ability. You've got yourself a lawyer, Miss Une."

The three young men suddenly stand, in unison.

"What?"

"If it's all right with you, ma'am, we've got to go to the bathroom."

Lady Une looks over her shoulder. Wufei, who spoke, looks at her evenly. "You three stay out of trouble, and you're free to go."

The door closes behind them and Duo heads quickly to the rest room. Wufei goes over to the window, and Heero blocks the door. Duo turns on a faucet high and starts to sob. "Honestly, Duo, you might want to learn to contain yourself a little better," Wufei snaps. Heero glares at him a moment.

"It isn't his fault G was never as thorough as our doctors were." Heero replies with a dark tone in his voice, warning Wufei to back off. "Someone's coming."

The three of them go over to the urinals and stand far enough apart not to look like they are planning something. A judge enters and moves to the sink. Duo rolls his eyes as the man checks his face and smoothes his hair.

Wufei even smirks a little as the man dramatically shakes the water from his hands and heads out the door.


Author's Note: This story is taking a lot longer to develop than I thought it would. As to the reply to the first chapter with comments about the legal age to drop out of school, remember, this is fanfic not real life. I'm taking the liberty's allowed, and I'm rewriting the constitution according to what I think would happen to it through the changes that've happened due to the advances in technology and the change of the atmosphere of the story. The next part should be up in a few days, or a few weeks... depends on how quickly it comes.
