Chapter 3- The Interrogation of Alex Cros

Lady Une looked through a two-sided window and saw Alex as a military police officer interrogated him. She was anxious to get as much as possible from this new pilot, but didn't want it to cloud her judgment. She heard what had happened earlier that day and wasn't quite sure who the pilot really was or what to make of him. Une had set this interrogation up so that maybe she could get more out of this boy, but it had only confirmed what she had found out earlier.

Duo walked into the room and got Lady Une's attention, while he did so Lady Une turned off the microphone to the other room.

"Well, what's the verdict on this guy?" Duo got in a chair and stretched his arms out.

"Him and his brother are registered in our databases. Rio Cros was an employee for OZ for about ten years at the time of his death. When we found out the shipment had not come into dock, some of ESA/OZ's men went to check out if anything foul had happened. They found what looked like battle remnants near the destination of the shuttle and most were mobile suits remains. No trace of any bodies," Lady Une walked over to Duo.

"Where did you get this from?"

"The file on the table next you," Lady Une pointed to the table to the right of Duo.

In the background, the interrogation continued with Alex as he answered each of the officer's questions.

"Hmm…. He did say he had fought five Leos. Is there anyway to find out where they came from."

"In an unrelated incident, Lunar Base reported that five Leos were missing two days before Rio's shuttle left dock." Lady Une held the files of the report, "we didn't put two and two together until now. Sadly, the damage is already done."

Alex and the officer looked at each other, then Alex started to flap his arms and the officer laughed at him, the officer then began flap his arms, too.

"Is that all you wanted me to hear?"

"No," Lady Une stated. "The problem with him is that neither him or his brother ever had birth certificates."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Simple, neither were registered legally. That and we have a birth certificate on a man called Hirofumi Jukodo. He has an incredible likeness to that of Rio, and he also was reported missing about thirteen years ago as well."

Alex continued laughing at the officer as well as the officer, while they continued to talk.

"Well, does Alex know this? I mean, he doesn't even know that he isn't legally alive?"

"No, he doesn't."

"Alright, I won't tell him," Duo leaned his head down.

"We going to keep him overnight for further questioning in the morning," Lady Une looked through the glass again and saw the two in laughter. She turned on the microphone.

"Then Billy Shell smashes it with his hand."

"By far the best episode was when Simple Sam went to the amusement park, and destroyed the log ride by merely sneezing," Alex barely held onto his breath.

The two of them continued to laugh unaware of Une's watchful eye. Lady Une took in the sight of the two and was irritated by the lack of discipline in both of them, especially the officer.

"Ahem."

The officer heard her and stood straight up. A nervous fear went through him as though he might have gotten court-martialed for this.

"Escort this man to our guest corridors for the night," Lady Une didn't let her anger show.

"Yes ma'am."

The officer escorted Alex out of the room.

"Well, don't mind me. I'm off to get some sleep." Duo got up and headed to the door.

"Thank you Duo."

Duo stopped in his tracks. "For what?"

"You saved some of our men. That's all I have to say about the matter."

Duo walked out of the room and Lady Une stood in the same spot. Her thoughts continued to go through her head about the new pilot, and what he did.

"But, what is bothering me is that pilot knew exactly how Duo was going to dodge his sabre," Lady Une looked back toward the interrogation room. "There has to be something else to him, I know it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alex and the officer finally arrived at the guest corridors; a door opened and Alex stepped in.

"I can't believe no one else watched that show," Alex had a smile on his face

"Your the first one I have met that has watched it. Anyway, good night."

Alex walked over to the bed in the room, and sat down. He slowly stretched out and allows his head to rest on the pillow. His mind focused on how comfortable the pillow is. It had been awhile since a good homemade pillow was under his head. He could feel himself as he slipped away into his dreams.

Suddenly, a red light flashed and alarm sounded in the room.

Alex got up, "What's going on?"
