Life Beyond Life
Chapter 6
By: Yuy Ren
What is that guy thinking? Skirmishes between Romfeller and the Treize Faction is no concern of the Sanc Kingdom! Noin thought in frustration as the hangar gate closed, once again engulfing Quatre, Noin, and Jayce in semi-darkness. Jayce? What's he doing here?Noin was shocked when she realized that the new civilian student was in the hangar as well. Noin had never approved of him staying at the Sanc Kingdom, but Miss Relena did not seem to mind.
"Kid! Uh…. Jayce right? What are you doing here? This is restricted area for the students."
"Huh? Oh… " Great, gotta explain my existence once more… "I stumbled in here following Dorothy's hints… am I causing trouble?"
Damn right you are! "No, it's ok, since you already saw… there's nothing we can do about that… But listen to me. Go back to class you hear? Forget what you saw. This never happened. Forget everything and go back to class. Trust me, it's for your own good."
Jayce nodded and left the hangar. There it was again, the feeling of being shooed away. He had thought about leaving the Sanc Kingdom altogether. That way, he would stay away form the war and really forget the whole thing. But remembering that someone was after him and the curiosity of what happened to his family compelled him to stay. Miss Noin had told him to go to class, but naturally, he didn't. He went to his room, propped up the laptop the school had given him and decided to do some background searching on Miss Noin. She seemed like a military official so Jayce wasn't sure how much information he could get to since the military always had difficult to crack security systems.
There was a knock at his door. Without waiting for a reply, the person outside the door stepped in. Jayce hastily closed his laptop and stuffed it under his pillow. None of this was missed by Noin's keen eye.
"What are you doing? Didn't I ask you to go to class?"
"UH…. Well, we have an assignment in class that required some research so that's why I came back here… to do the research…"Jayce concluded, highly hoping that she would buy it. Well, it was true… he did have an assignment that required research and his teacher would have excused his to go to his room to do the research….this just wasn't the case.
Noin shook her head, obviously not buying any of this. She crossed the room and sat beside him on the bed. She looked at him in the eyes, to make sure she had his attention, then grabbed his soldiers and spoke in a very serious tone.
"Jayce, it's very important that you understand the importance of knowing where the gundams are held and who the pilots are. Because the gundams are very important to us and so are the pilots. If you sold this information to the Romefeller, important things will go wrong. Do you understand the importance of my talking to you like this?"
Think she used "importance" too many times, he nodded. The message got through. He knew top-secret information and things could get disastrous for them if the other side knew. That must mean they are banking on the element of surprise, which means that their forces aren't very strongJayce concluded mentally.
Well, better say something or she'll become suspicious… "I'm sorry for any trouble I have caused. I didn't mean any harm. Don't worry, I won't take away your key element."
Astounded and content that he understood, she began her next part of her speech…RING RING RING…ok, so maybe not… maybe I should pick up the phone first. Excusing herself, Noin picked up her cell phone. Something was wrong and Miss Relena was back. Looked like the talk with Jayce would have to wait. She excused herself and left the room.
As Jayce was about to continue reseaching, he noticed Noin's cell phone still on his bed. He was just about to run out and give it to her when an idea popped into his mind. Putting the cell phone away, he did what he was aiming to do, find out more about himself.

So Romefeller wants me? Jayce asked himself in disbelief as he read the passage over and over again.
Any knowledge of the boy's whereabouts should be reported to the Romefeller Foundation, the boy will be an asset to the Foundation. The capture of the boy will be rewarded.
What do they want with him? Well, for now, it didn't matter, he's sure that Romefeller must be connected to the murder of his family. With new determination, he decided to stay here and wait for Romefeller and have his revenge.
