*Chibi Trowa comes in he pokes Jack*: Umm.you forgot to tell them what a cilice was.
Jack smiled and hugged chibi Trowa: Thanks love! For those who were wondering, a cilice is a disciplinary belt that has spikes on it. They turn the spikes into their legs and tighten the belt every once in a while to remind them of the pain that Jesus Christ went through to save humanity.
Chibi Trowa shudders: Eww.Corporal Mortification.
Jack: Well, I don't own Gundam Wing, or that little slice of Lord of the Rings I threw in there.but I do own Kylie. Oh! And the plot I don't own that's Dan Browns! From the Da Vinci Code.

Chapter 2: The Murder
~&~&~&~
The day had gone by at an agonizingly slow pace. Soon it was 11 PM. The pilots were still working on the mission. Kylie was sitting next to Quatre as she worked, gazing at the map in front of her, she sighed, 'We can't look at maps and guess, there's gotta be a clue somewhere.' She set the map down and looked at the table.
Prussian eyes swept the table, a darker color of canvas caught her attention. Raising an eyebrow she reached over and moved the papers around it. Lifting up the map she turned her head and then the initials caught her attention. "What the."
The other looked at the map she was holding. Quatre set his book down, "You find something?" He asked.
".Yes." She answered after she looked the map over for a second time. She looked back the initials, "LSPDV?"
Duo looked up, "What's 'LSPDV'?" He asked.
Kylie bit her bottom lip thinking the map showed a route to the Louve Museum. Then the name clicked. "Leonardo Ser Pieri Da Vincio." She whispered.
"Come again?" Wufei snarled.
"Leonardo Da Vinci!" She said a little louder. In the corner of the map she saw a small passage she squinted at the faint writing, and translated it, "The Mona Lisa's dwelling once housed kings. A lavish Paris Palace with three wings. Once wing is Sully.once is Richelieu please name the third I've only mentioned two." She looked up at the pilots.
The pilots looked at her, then they looked at Quatre, "I don't know!"
Kylie set the map down, "Where did you get this?!" She asked.
"What?" Heero asked.
"Where did you get this map?!" She was basically yelling.
"I had it." Trowa spoke up.
"Shit!" Kylie looked down, there was a date on it. "We need to get ou-"
There was a beep sound.
Heero looked over at his laptop, there was a message.
01-
Report to the Louve at once! There's been a murder. Bring Kylie.
Download Pictures of Crime Scene
Dr. J
Heero clicked the link, and the pictures downloaded. He gasped when he saw the picture. "The hell!!" He backed away from the laptop.
The others looked over.
Kylie looked at the map in her hands, instead at the laptop pictures. The map lead to the Louve Museum. Which could only mean one thing.
"Its started." She whispered.
"What's started woman?" Wufei asked.
Kylie looked at Wufei, "I swear, Wufei if you call me 'Woman.' One more time," She paused. Today, Wufei had called her 'woman,' at least 25 times. "I won't be responsible for my actions!"
Wufei crossed his arms and glared at her, "What's started.woman?"
Faster than what the other imagined, Kylie had punched Wufei, there was a sickening 'CRACK!' as his nose broke.
"I told you I wouldn't be responsible for my actions, Chang Wufei! Now lets go!" She grabbed her pack and walked out of the room and into the hanger.
The other stared at the door, Wufei was on the ground holding his bloody nose. "Damn! That bit-"
"She told you to stop, and she expected you to stop." Quatre started.
"You think I'm going to listen to that no good onna?!" Wufei yelled, his voice was somewhat muffled, because his hand was covering his nose.
Duo laughed, "Well that, 'No good, onna,' just beat your ass.' Duo grinned, "And I found myself a best friend!" He walked over to his pack closed it and walked back into the hanger.
Heero shook his head, "You'd better patch that up. We're going." The others filed out of the room also grabbing their packs. Quatre stayed behind with Wufei.
Quatre helped Wufei up, and the two patched up his nose. They got to the hanger as Heero, Duo, Trowa and Kylie were leaving.
"Lets go." Quatre got into the driver's seat of the Z-350. "Oh, and Wufei, try not to bleed in the car. I just bought it."

The Louve Museum
~&~&~&~&
The pilots walked into the large museum. Which was once the home of Mona Lisa. After showing fake ID badges they were let in. A small officer was leading the way, he turned to Kylie, "How do you like our pyramid?" He asked.
Kylie looked over her shoulder at the upside down pyramid. "Fascinating." She said quietly, but with a touch of sarcasm.
The French had always bragged about the upside down pyramid. Kylie couldn't figure it out. There was nothing special about it, but they were French, enough was said! [1]
After a little walking the pilots reached the crime scene. Another French officer met them.
"Ahh, good day to you. My name is Edward Fache." He turned to Kylie, "And you are?" He took her hand.
"Allison Dawson." She lied.
Fache smiled at her before he kissed her hand. Kylie smiled nervously and took her hand back, when Fache turned, Kylie whipped the back of her hand on her back. Duo snickered.
Fache started walked, "I hope that it wasn't too much of an inconvenience for you six to come out."
"It wasn't a problem." Heero said.
"Could you tell us what happened?" Duo asked.
"Certainly." Fache lead the six to the crime scene. They had to climb through bars. They were met with a man who was dead on the floor. "This man Jacqué Baxton was the curator of the museum. He was found here like this."
Kylie gasped at the sight of the man on the floor. She closed her eyes and bowed her head, 'Of ada.what have you done now? What did you get yourself into?'
Quatre saw the look on Kylie's face and turned to Fache, "Could you leave us?"
"Of course." Fache walked next to Kylie, he set a hand on her shoulder, before he walked out of the room. He paused, "Oh.we never touched him.this I how we found him."
Trowa turned and looked at Fache with a shocked expression.
Kylie fell to her knees, "Ada." she whispered.
"Shot." Duo whispered. "Poor guy.he had a slow death. Look here," Duo knelt down next to the Baxton. "Bullet hit the stomach.He didn't bleed to death, but his own stomach acid killed him."
"Thank you, Duo." Kylie whispered sarcastically. Standing she walked over to the dead body.
Jacqué Baxton was lying on the marble floor, spread eagle, naked. His clothes lied in a circle around him. It was a very odd way to die. "He did that himself?" She asked out loud.
Heero stood next to Kylie. The two were at the feet of Baxton's body, "It looks familiar." He said tilting his head.
Kylie looked at Heero, then back at the body, "I know I've seen it before, the pose is very familiar."
Quatre was kneeling at Baxton's head, scanning the body he noticed something was amiss, "He's holding a pen."
"What?!" Wufei, Duo, and Kylie exclaimed.
Walking over, Trowa took the pen out of Baxton's hand. Walking over to gave the pen to Kylie, she stared at the tip, "A scripture pen.what in the name of all the gods was he doing?!" Kylie whispered.
Duo snickered, "Maybe he wrote a dying note."
Kylie stared at Duo, then back at the pen. Her eyes widened slightly at the thought of it. "He did.anyone have a black light?" She asked.
Heero set his backpack down and pulled out the small black light. Handing it to Kylie, she turned it on, and almost instantly they found where Baxton left his note.
Everybody gasped, "Right there." Kylie whispered.
Sure enough, on Baxton's stomach was the note.
13-3-21-1-1-2-5-8 O, Draconian Devil! Oh, Lame Saint! P.S. Find the Pilots.
Quatre quickly wrote down the note. He stared at the writing in his hand for a few minutes before he looked up. "I can't figure it out."
"Draconian Devil? Oh, Lame Saint!" Duo muttered. "There's no damn connection! It doesn't make sense!"
Heero looked at Kylie, "Looks like you moment has come Sybmologist." He said.
Kylie looked at Heero before she looked at Baxton. As she walked slowly around the body, Trowa gazed at her. She was wearing jeans, black shoes, a white shirt and a leather jacket, which was off at the moment. She walked around the body for a second time. Stepping out side the circle and walked around for a third time. Standing at Baxton's feet she tilted her head. "The Vatican man." She whispered.
"What?" Wufei asked.
"The Vatican Man was a painting by Da Vinci." She answered. Turning on the black light she looked back at the message. "Quatre, can I see the paper?"
Quatre stood up and walked over to her. Handing her the paper he looked over her shoulder as she decoded the first half of the message.
She knew the first half the numbers was easy. "Well I got the first half. It's the Fabricon sequence. It was something that Da Vinci found. See?" She asked.
Quatre looked over her shoulder at the decoded numbers.
1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21
"I see it!" Quatre exclaimed.
Duo walked over, and looked over Kylie's shoulder, "That's great, a bunch of numbers, what about the rest of it!"
Wufei shook his head, "What about the numbers? I don't get it."
Trowa shook his head, "For a scholar, Wufei, I thought you would be the first to figure it out. What's 1+1?" Trowa asked.
"2." Wufei answered sarcastically.
Trowa smirked. "1+2?"
Wufei made an, 'O' expression. "I see."
Sitting down she looked at the other part of the note, "O, Draconian Devil.Oh! Lame Saint." Setting the paper down, Kylie shook her head.
"You alright?" Heero asked.
Kylie shook her head, "There's no connection!" She looked at the writing in her hand, then she started chanting, "Vatican Man, Fabricon Sequence, Leonardo Da Vinci." She chanted the words for a few more seconds while tilting her head from side to side. Then looked down at the paper, suddenly it clicked. Grabbing the pen she wrote down her idea.
1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21 Leonardo Da Vinci The Mona Lisa
"It's an anagram." She said quietly.
Duo shook his head, "It still doesn't make sense."
Kylie look at Duo, "Jacqué Baxton was a man of secrecy, and codes. He loved them." She said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"You say that as if you know him personally." Heero commented.
"I did." Kylie said, "He's my father." She finished.
