Last time on Deep at Heart
"Are you alright?" asked Zechs as he tried to help the lady on the ground up; "Sorry about that, but what were you doing running into the middle of the road like that?" asked Zechs.
"Zechs?" asked the lady. Her hair had fallen over her face and it was starting to rain. Her ankle seemed to be twisted pretty badly and her knee was scrapped. Other than that, there didn't seem to be any other severe injuries.
"Huh, how do you know-" Zechs stopped when he saw her face clearly. "It's you!" he yelled suddenly.
Deep at Heart: Chapter six: Meeting Sara
"Milliardo… I haven't seen you since we were 12 years old, how are you?" asked the lady weakly.
"Sara! What were you doing running into the streets like that? You know it's dangerous," said Zechs in concern for his friend.
"I was hoping I'd see you again Milliardo. That's how we first met, remember?" smiled Sara weakly.
FlashbackZechs was playing a game of Piggy in the Middle with Treize and Jonathon when the ball flew over the tall bush. Zechs ran through the bushes to try to get the ball, when he saw a girl crossing the street and a car was coming. He quickly shoved her out of the way and watched his favorite ball pop under the wheel of the car. Slowly he got off her.
"Are you alright?" he asked with a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, thanks so much. My name is Sara Bosky and I'm 5 years old, what's your name?" asked Sara.
"Hi, my name is Milliardo Peacecraft, I'm 6," smiled Zechs as he got up his feet and helped her up. "Well, I got to go, bye!" said Zechs as he left and ran back to Jonathon and Treize.
Sara stood there for a while in bewilderment before she decided that she'd be able to talk to him again. Ever since then, they kept bumping into each other, or so Zechs thought. Really, Sara just followed him and pretended to be bumping into him.
End of flashback"Yeah, I remember," said Zechs emotionlessly. "Can you walk?" he asked.
"Yeah, I think so. Where were you going in such a hurry anyways?" asked Sara.
"To the hospital, that's where my sister and my nephew is," said Zechs.
"No, you can't go! I mean, I didn't know you had a nephew Milliardo," said Sara.
Zechs looked at her suspiciously, "I didn't know that either, until a few days ago," said Zechs. "Look, since you're hurt, I'll give you a ride. I'm going to the hospital anyways, I might as well bring you there as well," said Zechs as he helped her into the car and then got in himself.
"Thanks Milliardo. Hey, did you even miss me?" asked Sara.
"I haven't seen you since we were 12 when the Sanq Kingdom was burned down. And then there was that war, where were you all this time?" asked Zechs as he started his car once again.
"I… I was up in the colonies. I was so afraid too," said Sara. Zechs immediately started to suspect her. Something in her voice told him that she was hiding something from him, but he decided not to go into that matter, since his only goal at the moment was to go see his nephew, whom he didn't know anything about.
The rest of the ride was pretty quite since Sara fell asleep and Zechs was concentrating on the road.
The next morning at the hospital
Duo quickly stretched before he started the engine to his car, "Well, better get over to the Sanq Kingdom."
When he got there, he saw Wufei, Quatre and Trowa standing at the front entrance waiting for him.
"You're early, that's unusual," smirked Wufei as Duo glared at him and then smiled, "And so are you guys. I thought we said noon, why are you guys an hour early?" asked Duo.
"We decided to come early," smiled Quatre as he got into the car and took the seat next to Duo while Trowa and Wufei took the back seats.
"Hey, Wufei. Did you know Heero's actually H.J.'s father?" asked Duo.
"Who's H.J.?" asked Wufei.
"Relena's kid. I made the pretty nurse do the DNA testing and it turned out positive. It's in the blood line," answered Duo. He looked into the rear mirror and tried to hold onto his laughter as the thought of Heero being a father went through Wufei's mind.
"It's really none of my business," said Wufei trying to cover up the shocked expression that was on his face earlier.
"It doesn't matter, we came here for a case," said Quatre.
"So what's the situation so far?" asked Trowa.
"Uh, let's see, first of all, Relena has a kid, don't know how. Two, she has to marry Hilton or else H.J. and the earth is in danger, don't know why. Three, someone tried to kill H.J., don't know whom. Four, H.J. became Heero's and Relena's, don't know when. Five, how does all this fit together or if and where we should we start? And six, does anyone have a donut?" asked Duo suddenly.
"DUO!" laughed Quatre.
"What? I'm hungry," said Duo as Wufei rolled his eyes and Trowa smiled slightly. Soon they arrived at the hospital and everyone headed toward the room that Duo had told them Heero was in, while Duo went into the cafeteria to get lunch.
Soon they reached Heero. "Heero, we heard about the situation, so what do you think would be a good first move?" asked Quatre getting right to the point.
"Where's Duo?" asked Heero.
"Cafeteria, stuffing his face," answered Wufei in a dull tone. Heero quickly got out of his seat and headed toward the cafeteria where they could have a group meeting. Everyone took a seat at a table and waited for the Duo with his mouth full of food and sit down.
"Fopai, ow hat we're alf togefer, vhat do we do?" asked Duo with his mouth full.
"Could you say that again?" asked Quatre as Duo swallowed.
"I said, O.K. now that we're all together, what do we do? What's our first move?" repeated Duo in a much clearer voice.
"Simple, each of us takes one of the cases, and see what we find. See if it fits together," said Wufei.
"We could do that, but you just got here so you have no clue where to start looking for evidence," said Heero.
"O.K. We know that H.J. Relena and Hilton are somehow connected, do you think that maybe the person who tried to kill H.J. was hired by Hilton?" asked Quatre.
"Maybe, but if it was. Why would he want to do that when he was using H.J. to get Relena to marry him?" said Trowa reasonably.
"That's true," agreed Duo as he took another bite out of his sandwich.
"She refused him," said Heero, trying to make a point. Though now she had to agree.
"So, she refused him and when he captured H.J. it made no difference, so maybe now he thinks if he gets H.J. out of the way it's make things a whole lot easier for him," said Wufei thoughtfully.
"That could be possible, but for now let's just keep it cool. Act as if nothings up, especially around Relena. She got it pretty bad already," said Duo.
"Who cares? She's a woman," said Wufei in a dull tone, when all of a sudden, Duo, and Quatre turned to look at Heero and Trowa turned away trying not to look as if it was obvious. "Never mind," said Wufei with a defeated sigh.
Heero glared at Quatre and Duo, and then he quickly walked pass them. When he got to the door of H.J.'s room, he slowly turned the doorknob; to make sure he wouldn't wake anyone up, knowing that Relena had probably gone inside.
H.J. lay silently on his bed, there was a drop of tear at the corner of his left eye that slowly ran down the side of his cheek as if he was just crying, but he wasn't. He looked as if he would wake up at any second and start laughing and saying 'Daddy' all over again, but he wouldn't.
Slowly Heero reached the side of H.J.'s bed, and the only words that could possibly come out of his mouth was, "I'm sorry." Sorry, you're here, thought Heero silently. He knew that H.J. was supposed to be his child, but how cold that possibly happen?
Just then, Heero sensed something approach from behind him and he quickly turned around, but there was no one there. There was definitely something wrong and he knew it, whenever he sensed something approaching or even behind him, he was always right. There was definitely something wrong with this picture. Suddenly he heard a sigh he quickly turned to see where it was coming from, but no one was there.
"Who's there?" asked Heero as he made his way to the other side of H.J.'s bed.
"Heero?" asked a feminine voice.
Heero looked down and saw Relena was lying on the couch.
"Heero, what is it?" asked Relena, wondering why Heero was standing there staring at her. Suddenly, he turned around and was about to leave, when H.J. made a sound.
"D-daddy… N-NOOOOOOO!!!" H.J. suddenly yelled and then there was a loud beeping noise once more. Heero quickly grabbed Relena and cleared out of the room, knowing that the doctors that were soon rushing into he room, wouldn't want them around.
"What's going on Heero, why is this happening?" asked Relena.
"Someone might have contaminated his fluids," said Heero simply as he quickly left to tell the others, so that they would know where to start. But when he got to the cafeteria, he found himself starring right into the eyes he truly despised.
"Hilton," he growled as he glared at him, but Hilton seemed unaffected this time.
"So we finally meet, HEERO YUY. I know who you are, and you can rest ashore that I will make you pay for what had happened. The wedding is coming in less than week, and there's nothing you can do about it, not even your friends," said Hilton as a smirk slowly appeared onto his face.
Heero quickly looked around him and saw Trowa, Wufei, Quatre and Duo being held up by Hilton's men.
"Oh, don't worry, they're not dead. They're just unconscious at the moment, but they will be if you don't stop getting in my way. They were a hard bunch. So we had to lock this place up and let the sleeping gas take over before we got here. Quite brilliant really, if I do say so myself. By the way, if you lay one finger on me, one of your friends will pay with his life," said Hilton as he and his men started to exit the cafeteria without the ex-gundam pilots.
"Did I mention, we poisoned them? One false move, and there won't be an antidote for them," smirked Hilton as he continued to walk again.
"HILTON!" yelled Heero in outrage.
How in the world was he going to handle this? There was just no possible way he could. His allies were poisoned, Relena was getting married, there was a murderer in their mists and there was just no way he could solve all of this in such a short matter of time. But he had to try anyhow.
"And I will succeed," whispered Heero as he glared the doorway, which Hilton once stood. "I swear it."
