Secret Passions Chapter 7
A waist of time? Monday 8:10 a.m. Lobby in Mr. Dep Maxwell's building.
Sometimes it's hard to believe That you're never coming back for me I tried to find you but your were so far away I've had this dream that you would always be on my side I was praying that fate would bring you back to me Someday.Someday.Someday. (Wilson Phillips)
"Hello, and welcome, how may I assist you?" asked a perky receptionist.
"I have an appointment with Mr. Maxwell at 8:15" Heero stated.
"Name please" asked the bubbly girl
"Jet Logan" He gave her a false name, no need for revealing himself as a gundam pilot. After the war, everyone new the names of the 5 gundams, but most didn't know the faces.
Buzz.. "Mr. Maxwell a mister Logan is here to see you. Shall I send him in?" "Yes" came a voice from the box. "You may go in to him. It's the top floor, straight to the back. Big glass office."
Heero turned around to the elevator pushing the up button several times; being impatient he opted to take the stairs. 15 floors later Heero emerges, not showing any signs of just climbing 15 stories in a matter of minutes. He walks straight back through endless rows of cubicles, all full of people. Some working, some sleeping, some just playing basket ball with paper and a wastebasket. Heero walked on until he came upon a huge office, all the walls were glass floor to ceiling. Inside sat Mr. Maxwell. He looks up and motions for Heero to come in.
'This can't be right, he's old, there must be some mistake. This will just be a waste of time.' Heero walks in and shuts the door behind him. 'But wow, he looks like an older version of Duo.'
Mr. Maxwell, a plump old man, around 70 with a long white braid, says, "Sit, please" in a kindly tone.
"Can they hear us?" Heero asks, meaning the employees out side the glass.
"No, this room is completely sound proof."
"Mr. Maxwell, I-" he cuts him off
"Please, call me Dep"
"OK, Dep, and unusual name, where does that come from" 'The more I know, maybe I'll be able to figure out why his was the name of the 6th pilot.'
"Just an old family name"
Heero sits in a chair directly in front of Dep. "Dep, have you ever had any contact with any of the gundams? This is very important."
"No, can't say that I have. Why do you ask? And why ask me? I'm just an old suit."
"You're not lying to me, because I get very angry when I'm lied to." Heero says in a death threat kind of tone.
"No, why would I do that Mr. Logan," He said, unaffected by Heeros menacing tone.
"Well, I received a letter that led me to talk to you. I'm trying to find Zech-- someone, but it seems I've come to the wrong place." ' If this isn't him, I should just leave, but, the resemblance to Dou is incredible.' "But before I leave, do you know a Duo Maxwell, Quatre introduced me to him at the ball and the resemblance between you too is incredible." The old man looked to be coming to a difficult decision before he spoke.
"This letter, it wouldn't have come from a certain lady gundam pilot, now would it?"
"What did you just say, you knew Drix? Why did you lie to me?" Heero was mad, this man, there's more, much more to him than just this kindly, light hearted shell he puts out. He wasn't sure what to expect now.
"And you wouldn't happen to be Heero Huy?"
Heero started to reach for his gun, but remembered Noin was to bring it to him this afternoon. "Old man, I want to know what you know, why did you play stupid with me?"
"Well, anyone could come in here and say they were you, the letter could have been intercepted. I couldn't just go and reveal this information your looking for to just anyone. I had to be absolutely sure. And I am now."
"And how do you know that I am said Heero Huy? I could be anyone, like you stated before."
"Well, I have my ways. Now, do you want the information I have or not?"
"Fine old man, talk" Heero said, after deciding the benefits out weighed the risks to talking to this man.
"OK, first I want you to tell me what happened at the Ball, I've heard stories, but I need to hear it from someone like yourself. Don't leave any detail out either. Start when Relena was heard to be yelling at a Heero Huy. Why she was so mad."
Heero thought about it for a moment, but decided what could it hurt to tell him.
"Well, I had just ease dropped on a conversation between Quatre and Relena. She was of course upset, to put it mildly, very mildly. I agreed to 'mingle' as she put it, with the people, Relena was always worried I didn't have a life, that I was obsessed with protecting her. Now I know I should never have let her have her way. I walk over to be where the food was; I was going to talk to someone who had caught my eye earlier. On my way Trowa arrived with Wufei and Drix. Everyone knew they were very much in love. Which is very surprising to everyone because Wufei was married to Meiran who he loved very much but she died in battle, so he would never love again. But, Drix got through to him. The only problem was that Zechs was madly in love with Drixel.
Drix and Wufei are hand in hand walking to Relena. Trowa heads directly toward Quatre.
"Drix, Wufei, I'm so glad you came." Relena said with a big smile. Dorothy is a few feet from her talking to Zechs. He realizes Drixel is here. With, him. He ignores Dorothy's' rambling and listens into Drix and Relena conversation.
"You know 'Lena, you won't be able to call me Drix this time next year." Drix says with a smile on her face.
Her friends had called her that since they met her. Katrina just didn't seem to fit her then, she wasn't at all girlish during the war, so they called her by her last name Drixel, which got shortened to Drix. But now, she was just as much a girl as Relena, I guess that's what love does to you. Changes you.
"What do you mean?" asked Relena, "Why in the world not."
"Because, that wont be my last name anymore" She said with a huge smile, holding up her left hand to show off the ring Wufei had given her just last night. 14 "Track 14" by artist
Relena squealed in happiness for her adoptive sister. "You're getting married to Wufei finally!!"
Zechs lost it completely there; he was in love with Drixel. He had been since he had first laid eyes on her almost 5 years ago at the beginning of the war. What man wouldn't be? She was 5'1", about 90 pounds, long flowing red hair, green eyes, and a beautiful body. She was the sweetest person in the world until you piss her off. But for the past four years, she had been with Wufei. He had suffered through that, barely able to stand it, but this was too much, he had been pushed over the deep end.
Every thing happened within seconds. Zechs turned around pulling out a gun, pointing it straight at Wufei's heart, yelled "DIE!!" every one went silent and Drix was in front of Wufei before he could pull the trigger. Relena jumped in front of Drix, thinking Zechs wouldn't shoot his own sister.
"Move Relena, before I count to 3. I'll shoot. He isn't getting Drix. If I can't have her, he sure as hell won't either." Zechs was yelling this at the top of his lungs.
"I wont let you do this brother, think what would happen, you would start a war, you wont shoot me!!" Relena stands her ground, knowing that if Drix or Wufei is hit, there will be war again, between her brothers' followers and her followers. Praying, she braces herself to get hit
Heero heard this and immediately was running across the room, gun out and ready to shoot, trying to get to Relena, he had completely forgotten about keeping an eye on her and had let them drift across the room, all so he could find Duo and talk to him.
'She will move' "1", so will Drix, "2" I know they would rather live than protect that idiot.' "3" He pulled the trigger just as Heero was within sight of Relena.
"Relena, move!!" Heero screamed, shooting his gun at Zechs, desperately trying to get Relena before the bullet. The bullet hits Relena as Heero dives in front of her, a fraction of a second to late. His bullet hits Zechs in the shoulder, knocking him backwards.
"RELENA" Drix, Heero and Zechs yell in unison. Drix catches Relena, Heero yells to call an ambulance and rips open her dress, exposing the wound, so close to the heart, he was sure she would die. They tried to slow the bleeding down. Zechs, in shock that he just shot his sister, turns and slips through the crowd in the confusion and gets away, still hiding to this day. Dorothy is at Relenas side, holding her hand.
"Hee- Heero, promise me yo- yo-, you will find someone to- to- to love." Relena struggles to get that out.
"Shh, 'Lena, helps coming, you'll be ok," Heero tells her, knowing he was not speaking the truth, the bullet was to close and she was losing a lot of blood.
"Why did you do that 'Lena?" Drix asked in tears. "Why"
"Hey, you ha- ha- get mar- ied" She finally said.
"Dorothy, I lo- lo- I lo-" But she didn't finish before she went comatose, and Dorothy went hysterical.
"Shut up Dorothy, she's just unconscious." Heero said coldly, going hysterical inside the same inside as Dorothy. But he kept his cold mask on, got up and told Drix to look after her until the ambulance arrived. He went off looking for Zechs but he had disappeared.
"So, then the rumors of Relena being shot by her own brother were true, I couldn't believe it unless it was out of the mouth of one that was there and apart of it." Said Dep. "You left something out, the person who caught your eye you were trying to find, what was his name?"
"I'm not going to tell you his na- how did you know it was a guy?" Heero asks, slightly freaked that he would know or even assume that. Heero just recently realized that he was gay.
"I just, guessed, and you just confirmed it. You don't seem the type to like women much."
"."
"Well, what was this boy's name?"
"Duo Maxwell"
"Ah, the same you asked me about I assume."
"Yes"
"OK, get on with the story"
I had just gotten back from looking for Zechs when the paramedics arrived..
