~A New Life~

~Chapter Eleven: A Curious Reunion~

            "S-Senator." Was all that Cloy said as she entered the room, along with her little brother and Kyoji.

            "Listen, I feel bad about your mother disappearing, and then the sudden attack on your friend here."  The senator said, following Cloy into the room.

            "How do you know Kyoji was attacked?  I haven't told anyone, nor has he.  For all you know he could have slipped and hit his head on something."  Cloy asked, coming face to face with the senator.

            "Lucky guess Cloy.  That's all; you know how lucky I am." He said.

            "Now, before you say anything else to me, you call me Mrs. Kasshu, got it."  Cloy said walking to the table with her little brother.  She looked over to the two way mirror on one of the walls and, thanks to her keen eye sight, saw that there were cops watching this all take place.

            "You're married already?"  The senator tried not to sound surprised, or outraged.

            "Yes, I am senator, or should I say, Prime Minister."  Cloy said, with a smirk.

            "Very well.  But I just wanted to say how sorry I was to know that your mother turned up missing." The prime minister said, right before opening the door to leave. "Oh and call me Ross, we will be seeing more of each other soon Cloy honey" he said, then left.

            Cloy shivered, and thought that she was going to shiver to death, then collapsed into the chair beside Kyoji.  "There is no doubt he has something to do with this Kyoji.  Now I know."  Kyoji just put his arm around her as they waited for an officer to join them and take Joshua's statement

*** (Meanwhile, in a room across from the one with Cloy, Kyoji, and Joshua)

            "WHY DIDN'T YOU GET HER?"  A raging voice yelled.

            "She came in when I least expected it sir.  I had no way to ambush her like we planed."  A cowering man said as he knelt before someone else.

            "Fine.  Next time you go after her, make sure you kill that Kyoji Kasshu boy.  He will get in the way of my planes."  The voice said "She will be my bride just like I've planed, and no Japanese boy is going to get in my way."

***

            "Now, describe to me the guy that you saw Josh."  An officer said as he sat at the table, across from Kyoji, Cloy, and Joshua.

            "Well, he was big, about as tall as Kyoji." Josh began. "And husky too"

            "What would you say?  About 6'2', 6'3'?"  The officer asked.

            "Yeah, about 6'2'." Josh replied.  "He wore nothing but black, and it looked like he hasn't shaven in a few days."

            "Ok, what kind of nose did he have?"  The officer asked

            "A long nose, and thin."  He replied "his eyes were this piercing blue, they could bore holes right though your skin.  And I think I saw sandy blond hair too."  Josh said.

            "Ok, what shape was his face? Round? Oval? Square?"  The officer asked.

            "Sort of oval. But it squared off at his forehead.  I remember thinking he looked a little like Frankenstein."  Josh replied. "The only thing he was missing were the bolts coming out of his neck."

            Cloy laughed a little at that.  The officer just recorded everything that Josh said and asked "Ok, how tan was his skin, Fair? Brown? Black?"

            "Well, it looked like he had a tan, but not too much.  He looked like he tanned once in a while, but not often enough to keep his skin bronze."  Josh replied. 

            "Ok, describe his voice." The officer asked.

            "Ok, it was deep, but it wasn't like Kyoji's here, it had a slight rasp to it, like his throat was dry or something." Josh replied.

            "Ok, thank you.  That's all we need for now.  You can go home.  If we get anything we'll call."  The officer said as he got up and left to file Joshua's statement.

            "Well, let's get going Joshua.  And you too Kyoji."  Cloy said, getting Josh to his feet and starting for the door.

            "That Prime Minister Knight was kind of weird."  Kyoji commented as they were walking out of the station.

            "Have a nice day Miss O'Conall."  Officer O'Haira said, and waved to them as they walked out.

            "Mrs. Kasshu from now on O'Haira."  Cloy said as she waved.  The officer took note of this and nodded. "As for the Prime Minister, name one that isn't weird."

            Kyoji nodded at the fact, as Joshua got in her car and she got into the drivers seat. They started home for Cloy's flat when they saw some woman roaming the side of the street.  At first Cloy paid no attention to her, but then when she got another look at her, she realized who it was "OH MY GOD, MOM!"  Cloy hit the breaks faster then Kyoji had ever seen her before.  She skidded to a stop right beside her mother and looked at her with curiosity. 

            Josh was the first to move, he jumped out of the back seat and went running for his mother.  "MOM!" he yelled as he hugged her.  Clot got out next and went up to her mother.  She helped her mother up and over to her car, obviously she had been though a horrifying ordeal.  Her mother slid in next to Joshua in the back seat and let her head fall on the back of the seat.  Cloy started out on the road again.  "Mom, what happened, where were you?"  Cloy was the first to ask, as she kept her eyes trained on the road before her, afraid she might speed up more then needed.

            "Well, some German guy sort of saved me."  Were the first words out of her mouth.  Cloy almost slammed on the breaks again.

            She looked back at her mother and asked "WHAT? His name wouldn't be Schwarz would it?"

            "Oh no, his name was Fritz. He was such a gentlemen too." Her mother commented.  "The place I was at sort of gave me a run around as you can see.  And he stuck up for me while I was there.  I don't know if he got out too but I really hope he did.  He was so handsome and gentle." 

            Cloy looked back at her mother and saw one thing that she hadn't before.  A twinkle in her eye.  She had met this nice, handsome, guy, in her description, and she had a crush on him. "Mom, I swear to you, once you tell me where it was that they were holding you, and who it was, I will do all in my power to see to it that, that German that saved your life makes it out safely." Cloy said, before she even knew she was saying it.

            Her mother looked up, smiled, and said "you're a dream, you know that." 

            "Hey, Uncle taught me about Military Discipline.  So it comes natural."  Cloy said, looking back to the road.

            "And who is this young man with you Honey?"  Her mother asked.

            "Oh, I'm sorry.  Mom this is Kyoji Kasshu.  Kyoji this is my mother."  Cloy said, in a quick introduction. 

            "Pleasure to meat you" Kyoji said quickly.

            Cloy's mother took one look at him and then smiled at her daughter. "Did you meat him in the Gundam Fights?" she asked.

            "Well, you could say that."  Cloy said, pulling into her flat parking lot.

            Cloy got out, putting her hand on the roof of her car, and that is when her mother spotted the Engagement ring.  "Uh, Cloy honey, can I speak with you up stairs for a moment."  Her mother asked, and then pulled her along before she could protest.

            "What is it mother?"  Cloy asked, once inside the door.

            "Did that young man propose to you?" her mom asked, with a happy gleam in her eye.

            "Uh, how did you know?"  Cloy ask, scratching her head.

            Her mom grabbed her hand with her ring on it, and said "This"

            "Oh yeah, this is the ring he gave me."  Cloy said looking at the ring. "He is such a dear." 

            Before Cloy could react, her mom grabbed her and hugged her tight. "I can't believe that my baby is getting married.  It only seems like yesterday I was changing your dippers."

            "Uh mom… If you want me to see that wedding day, I suggest you let go."  Cloy said in a strained voice.

            "Oh sorry honey."  She said, letting Cloy go.

            "Ok, well.  We need information about where it was that you were if you want me to see to Fritz's safety."  Cloy said, setting down with her mom. 

"What do you say we go see what the two women are doing up there kiddo?"  Kyoji asked as he put his hand on Josh's head.

Josh nodded and said "I don't think we will understand what they are doing Kyoji.  I really don't think we will."

"Don't be silly.  They are probably thinking of some way to get that Fritz guy out of that place that you mom was at." Kyoji said.

            "Yeah right." Was all that Josh said and followed Kyoji up to Cloy's flat.

Kyoji had closed up Cloy's car, locked it, and came up with her little brother to see Cloy and her mother setting, drinking tea, and talking about men.

"So, did he have a tan?" Cloy asked.

"Oh yeah, he was so fine." Her mom replied.  

"Oh I can't wait to see him.  What about his smile, tell me about his smile?"  Cloy said taking a sip of her tea.

"Oh, he had such a nice smile.  His upper teeth would show only when he would really smile.  But when he just plain smiled he would have such a charming smile."  Her mom replied.

"Oh I am getting the permanent Goosebumps.  Ok, his eyes, what about his eyes."  Cloy asked.

"They were silver, I could have got lost in them for ever.  You see, he and I shared a cell." Clarissa, her mother, replied drinking some of her tea as well.

"Silver eyes sound very cute.  Ok, did he have five o'clock shadow a little?" Cloy asked.

"Uh-huh! He looked so handsome with it too.  The men around there shaved once a week.  So you know."  Clarissa laughed.  Cloy laughed with her and drunk more of her tea.

            "I'll never understand women." Kyoji sighed, putting his hand on his head.

            "Me either."  Josh chimed in doing the same as Kyoji.
