"What's been going on?" Heero asked.
"Troubles with those damn G-Alloids is what's been going on," Jerome replied.
Heero had traveled back to Earth when Jerome had called him with the most recent news. Jerome had met him at the nearest airport and drove him to the military hospital. Heero had checked up on Daemon before visiting Wufei or Shiro. Now the two men sat in the cafeteria getting a sandwich and talking about the problem infesting their lives.
"I know that," Heero's irritated voice seeped over the table to Jerome's ears. Even though it had been 16 years since Heero had last killed, he was still as deadly as ever. He may not kill now, but his glare was enough to get the point across.
"I don't know how to explain," Jerome said, brushing his hand through his hair.
"The beginning. What brought about this rebellion? A quick summary will do fine."
"Trio started dating Shiro. Everyone tried to keep her away so she wouldn't reveal the G-Alloids, but they failed.
"Not even twenty-four hours ago, Shinna and Trio were talking in the forest. Shiro had followed them. He overheard them call each other by their true names. He remembered a document his father had had on his desk a few years back. From that he figured out their secret.
"Trio and Shinna heard him gasp and found him. But at that time a sniper his father had hired found him and started firing at the teens. The teens managed to get hold of Duo who arrived a few minutes later.
"But it got worse. Kai, the ringleader of the 'X' found them and ordered a tranquilizer dart fired that could knock out an African Elephant at Trio. Shiro jumped in front of the dart and that's why he's here.
"Shiro was dropped off here and the girls headed back to Ken's house to talk with Ken and Daemon. Shinna and Trio were in the backyard when Wufei arrived and started ranting on how much he hated Trio and Shinna. Shinna went ballistic and took off and Trio followed.
"They went to Sherri's house and tried to get some stuff together to run away. That's where Duo got cut and Wufei got stabbed. The girls took off after that."
"So why did Daemon end up here?"
"He was assigned to guard Trey, who had expressed how much he wanted to go with the girls. They got in a fight and Daemon got hit on the head, bad. When we got to Leo's house he had already lost a substantial amount of blood."
"Hmm," Heero pondered.
"Then somehow a bulletin got out about the kids. We're not sure who it was, but we intend to find out."
"Where do you think they went?" Heero asked.
"I have absolutely no clue. By the way," Jerome picked up his orange soda and took a sip before continuing. "Where's Relena? You two are hardly apart."
"Trowa took a few days off and is watching her. She's still hammering out a peace treaty of sorts with some rebels in L3."
"Ah, I see."
"What do you plan on doing?"
Jerome's face took a turn from a grin to grim seriousness. "I plan on keeping the closest tabs on the 'X' as I can. I plan on making sure if they find Trio, Shinna or Trey that I know and can jump ahead." Heero gave Jerome a look that said, 'Why don't you try and search for her?'.
"I've raised Trio since before she was born and I know how difficult she can be to find so in case you wonder why I'm not searching for her."
"How's he doing?" Duo whispered to Sally.
"He's doing just fine. The doctors gave him a morphine shot so he's sleep better."
"How are you doing?"
"The fall didn't hurt the baby," Sally whispered with a smile.
"I can't believe you waited this long to have a kid," Duo mumbled.
"Things happen," was Sally's reply.
"I'm going to check on Shiro," Duo said, turning to walk out.
"By the way, how are you doing?"
"It's just a scratch," Duo replied curtly.
"I meant on the inside. I know you must be worried."
"I am but that's not what's bugging me. What I can't figure out is how that bulletin got out," Duo said with a frown.
"We don't know. Jerome's been here the whole time so it wasn't him."
"Why would you say that?"
"Ken and Leo were afraid he had lost all common sense and called the authorities."
"Maybe the 'X'?" Sally shrugged.
Duo sighed, "I'll talk with ya later."
Duo went to the next room where Shiro had been placed. Shiro was awake watching the world news.
"How ya doin, Pal?"
"Huh?" Shiro glanced down from the TV momentarily. "Hey Duo," he replied, gluing his eyes back to the screen. "What's up?"
"Nothing much, how are you?"
"I'm feeling much better. The doctors say I can leave in an hour." Shiro beamed, eyes still watching the TV.
"At 8:00 in the morning? Why so early?"
"I told them I didn't want to stay anymore so they said I had to wait until 8."
"Why aren't you getting dressed?"
"I'm watching the world news."
"Figures. Well, I'm going to go check on Daemon. Want me to pass any words along?"
"Just, 'get better'."
"All right, see ya later."
"DUO!" Shiro practically screamed. "LOOK!"
Duo whirled around and turned his attention to the TV. A reporter was talking about a rebellion to the government in Ankara, Turkey. The woman was speaking and on the TV was a riot at a shopping center. People were smashing windows with bricks and stealing stuff.
"No one is exactly sure what caused this riot, but many believe that it was caused by a jump in prices and a lowering in wages." But Duo and Shiro weren't watching the riot.
In the background of the TV screen, walking out of a still standing store were two young girls and a young man. The boy had sandy brown hair while one the girls had a brown braid and the other black hair. It was Trio, Trey and Shinna.
Shiro flung the sheets off and began dressing.
"Maybe if we hurry we can follow their trail," Shiro muttered as he dressed. Duo stood transfixed at the screen. In Turkey, almost overnight they had flown 1400 miles and landed in Ankara, Turkey. It was nearly impossible.not possible.not.
"Let's GO!" Shiro said, pulling Duo away from the TV and out the door.
PS-Mikae, you leave it alone right now. GOT IT? I KNOW WHERE U SLEEP! *evil cackle*
