Chapter Fourteen
While Milliardo was trying to get through his sister, Lucrezia went, as promised, to visit the survivor from the attack.
Once she got the permission from the doctor, she entered one of the medical centre's patient rooms. Lying on the bed there was a man in a terrible shape. Lucrezia feared he would not be even able to speak.
"Since it would be silly to ask how you are, I will go, if you don't mind, straight to the point. Do you remember anything from the attack?" asked Lucrezia trying not to bother the man more than absolutely necessary.
"Yes. I remember all of it. Will never forget. It was that friend of yours. I think his name is Heero Yuy…" said the man with a very feeble voice but loud enough to be clearly heard.
"What? It cannot be…it is surely a mistake…" said Lucrezia trying not to shout.
"It was him alright…I remember his eyes. They were as cold and as hard as steel…He was like a machine…a killing machine…I only survived because I pretended I was already dead…luckily, he didn't check for our vital signs…otherwise I would not be here today…" explained the man suddenly looking very tired.
"Ok. Now, you need your rest, so I won't bother you anymore…thank you very much for the information…" said Lucrezia seeing that the man was on the verge of losing consciousness…
She literally ran back to her office where Milliardo was waiting for her. She found her fiancé there looking awfully worried.
"Relena's missing. Lady Une tried to reach her at the same time we were calling her and not getting any reply went herself to her office only to find it empty…We're more than certain that Mr Valliant is behind all of this since he's also missing…" said Milliardo, as soon as Lucrezia had entered the room.
"Well, guess who is behind our shuttle's massacre…" added Lucrezia, not daring to say it herself.
"Heero Yuy?" tried Millardo.
"Exactly. The attack's survivor is pretty sure about it. From what he's explained to me, I fear we've lost the Heero we used to know…Apparently, he was as ruthless and cold blooded as he was when he first came to Earth…" said Lucrezia. Suddenly, realising the trouble Relena was probably in, remembered about the girl's pregnancy, sitting down on her chair, Lucrezia started going all pale.
"Lucrezia…" was all Milliardo managed to say before their videocom buzzed again. Milliardo pushed the button to show Lady Une's face on the screen.
"Lady Une...We've got some awful news…" said Milliardo
"What a coincidence, me too…" replied Lady Une sarcastically.
"The responsible behind the shuttle's killings is Heero…" said Lucrezia standing behind Milliardo.
"Sally and Wufei have discovered that representative Taylor has been involved in some nasty business with Mr Valliant for quite some time…And, we still have no idea where Relena is…We've sent a troop to both Mr Valliant and Mr Taylor's residence to investigate if they may be involved with Relena's disappearance…" replied Lady Une in what seemed a competition to see who had the worse piece of news.
"We think that Heero has been re-trained…that makes him not only incredibly dangerous but totally unpredictable..." said Milliardo.
"For the time being you should increase security to the very maximum. Not that this will hold Heero should he decide to attack but, at least, that will buy you some time. I have called to duty all the special preventers and we are running a full scale investigation now. I will try to keep this from the press but I don't think I will be able to do that for too long…" explained Lady Une.
"Ok, roger about security, but I am going to Earth straight away…" said Milliardo.
"No, stay there. I have asked Duo Maxwell to join you…I think you will need all the reinforcements you can get…and Milliardo, this is an order…" said Lady Une not giving room to any kind of argument.
