Chapter 3
"Ms Relena- the security wants all diplomats to go to a secure location- this way please." A guard said as the diplomats were ushered out of the area quickly. She and the other followed as medics and emergency workers filed into the room to treat the wounded.
Relena slipped away from the security as soon as they were released from the secure area. She almost sprinted to her office- needing his touch more than ever.
"Heero" She called as she opened the door and locked it as she entered. "Heero?" She repeated his name as she noticed the large room was empty. The only traces that Heero Yuy had been there was his suit jacket on the chair. She felt a little uneasy with him not being there. But she figured he was probably checking on the bomber.
The security guards had informed the diplomats that Mary had died of internal and excessive bleeding. Relena felt saddened at her passing, but there was simply nothing that could have been done. The suspect was in custody after all. Justice would have to take its course.
Relena had just slipped into a little number Hilde had given her. Relena felt a little foolish in the tight… dress… well more like undergarments, but Hilde had insisted Heero would like them. She had retired to her couch and waited for Heero to come to her like he usually did after her meetings and conferences. Heero had the only other copy of the key to the door, so she relaxed.
After more than a half of an hour she was becoming a bit more worried. Suddenly the videophone rang at her desk. Relena was startled by the sudden noise in the quiet room, and fell off the couch and onto the floor. She threw on a shirt to cover her exposed skin, and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Relena- oh, I'm so glad I found ya." Came a familiar face and voice.
"Duo? It's good to see you." But one look at his face told her this wasn't a causal call. "What's wrong?"
"Relena- turn on the TV…" The frantic gundam pilot instructed her. Relena did as she was told. Every station was coving the bombing incident. But that isn't what shocked her so much that she nearly fell to the floor.
On the screen was a live shot of the outside of the convention center. The police were trying to pull a single figure through the crowds of people massing together to try and get at the suspect in question.
But it wasn't just any person being taken… it was Heero.
"Hello? Relena? Relena!" Dou called over the line. Relena fumbled and pulled herself up to the screen.
"D…duo.. What's going on?" Tears streamed down her face as she saw the bruised body of her love on the screen.
"They think Heero set the bomb." Dou answered.
"Wh…what?" Relena whispered in reply. "But he… he couldn't of… he wouldn't have…"
"Relena just relax. Quatre is already getting a legal team together. I just wanted to make sure you were all right and let you know, in case you were waiting for him… Don't worry, we'll get this taken care of."
"Can… can I see him?" She quietly asked. "I…I need to see him." Relena scrambled to gather her clothes while Duo was still on the videophone. "I'm coming down there- this has to be a mistake…"
"Relena, no stop! Think for a second. Would that help him? You to come down and make this a bigger scene than it already is? Let Quatre and me take care of this. We'll have lover boy back there in no time."
Relena quickly turned away so that her longhaired friend would not see her blush a deep crimson. But as she glanced at the TV, her shyness about people knowing about her relationship with Heero left her.
"Are you sure I can't…"
"No, you guys worked so hard to keep this relationship from hurting your career- this would get you kicked into the spot light in a heartbeat."
"I don't care… Heero's important to me."
"Just relax. Let's see what happens. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding. Let Heero tell his side to the authorities."
"Ok, but call me the second you find out anything."
"You got it." Duo said as he waved goodnight to his friend. Relena was now all alone in her office. She didn't know exactly what to do, so she simply slumped tot the ground and watched the TV screen blur pictures and accounts across the screen…
-
The shouting people were all around him. Even the police seemed to hit him. Weren't they supposed to be keeping the crowd at bay? What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? But what was he kidding- he was guilty- not of setting this bomb- but of others just like it.
He was forcing his killer instincts to stay at bay. Taking on these ignorant civilians would have been too easy…like letting a starving lion into a fenced in area full of fresh game…
but he was tired of fighting…. He finally was taken into the police van and driven to the headquarters.
There he was met with accusations and more anger. Saying nothing he sat through interrogation after interrogation before three men came into the room. "Who are you?" The officer on duty asked angrily. Their patience dwindling with the silent Yuy.
"We're this man's attorneys." The blonde haired man said as he, Dou, Trowa and Quatre entered the small room.
As soon as the officer left the, the four men tried to get Heero to talk. But the once perfect solider slipped back into the silent mode after being assured that Relena was all right.
"Heero this looks really bad… they're going to charge you with this crime if you don't tell them what happened." Quatre said. Heero looked at his former partners, but still he was silent.
"Come on buddy- we know you didn't do this." Duo started. "And how do you know that?" Came Heero's response after remaining silent for a long time.
"So you're saying that you did do this? But is doesn't' make sense." Quatre said looking at Heero desperately.
"He's not going to talk- when he gets like this." Dou sighed as Trowa looked on in a similar silent mode. This only caused the lawyer to sigh as well.
"Don't worry, they have no evidence against Heero. So he'll be released in the morning." The blonde man said, as he looked over the police files that were beginning to come.
"Are you sure?" Quatre questioned.
"Well, it looks like they didn't get anything from him, so any evidence they have must be circumstantial at best."
"Alright- can you just sit tight for the night? We'll be here first time tomorrow." Dou said before the group was escorted out.
Heero just sat there in silence.
That feeling… the killing instinct that consumed him as the perfect solider… it had resurfaced after so many months. He wanted to kill that man- he would have killed him if the crowd hadn't stopped him…
'Why? Why now? What kind of a life could I offer Relena if I still have these dark feelings…' Heero pondered. But what was worse was the lingering question of the future… if he had these feelings again now, what was stopping him from having them happens again… and what happened if Relena was in danger because of this weakness? How could he put her in that danger- and what… about… their children?
Relena had brought up the topic more than once. What kind of father could he be if he thought of killing others? What kind of human being was he anyway?
The rest of the night he sat in a dark cell. His mind wearing him down- images of Relena entered his mind. Every time he dreamed that he was reaching for her she pulled away because his hands were coated in blood….
