Chapter 8- The Truth
After fifteen minutes, Heero finally ditched the followers. He parked the car and got out. He took a look around and started to walk. Once he realized he wasn't being followed he hurried off to his true destination.
After another fifteen minutes, Heero waltzed into Relena's office. Relena sat at her desk with her head down. Heero took the liberty of clearing her schedule for the day. He fished around her desk for her keys. Finally, he found them. Lifting the Foreign Minister, he left the building with her.
*~*
Relena woke up looking at a clear blue sky. A spray of water seemed to drift to her face. The sun played with the tree in the wind. The shade of the tree danced around her. She sat up to realize she sat on a picnic blanket. She had to be dreaming. Then she heard it. Those familiar footsteps. How they sounded as if they walked on clouds. Barely making any noise, but enough to know someone else was there. She turned to look at her kidnapper.
*~*
Heero's cell phone went off. He turned to his side to find her sleeping. He quickly walked off. Flipping his phone open, he answered.
"Yuy."
"Guess what I found?"
"The murders match."
"Bingo. And evidence tries to point to Relena but can't really."
"I thought so."
"How'd you know?"
"In the media report. Said they were twins and they thought there was a connection to the murders. It was a hunch."
"I see. Have a theory who did it?"
"Not Relena."
"How can you be so sure?" Doubt filling his voice.
"What does your heart tell you?"
Millardo didn't answer. Heero feeling it was the end of their conversation flipped his cell phone shut. He began his walk back to his kidnapped.
*~*
"Heero?"
He sat across from her. Both of them wearing stern looks. Relena looked at him. His stern face to her took her back. The way he used to look like that. Then he just smiled out of nowhere. How she missed him. A small tear shocked Heero. He dropped his façade and took her face into his hands. Her eyes stayed looking at the ground. Her mind lost in sweet memories. A couple more tears rolled down her cheeks. Heero's tongue brought her back. He trailed her tear trail, even across her eye. Heero passionately kissed her. Relena's eyes widened. Heero deepened the kiss causing Relena to be lost into blissfulness.
So many questions she wanted to ask him. What was he doing here? Didn't he hate her? How much did she hurt him? Did he still care? What about Cherry? Why was he kissing her? What was going on?
Heero pulled from her lips for breath. He looked at her quizzical face.
"Don't think so much. You always used to think a lot."
Heero pressed his lips against hers again. Sending shivers down her spine. Something than snapped. She quickly pushed from him and backed up. Heero stopped. He was about to press his hand against her cheek when she spoke.
"Please don't touch me. I can't..."
Relena broke down into a quiet sob. It made her whole body shake. Is this how she felt when Peter died? Heero was about to reach out and hold her when her cell phone went off. Relena recomposed herself.
"Foreign Minister Darlian speaking."
How much was she still hurting? She never took a day off when Peter died. No one ever saw her cry. Heero was pushed out of his thoughts when Relena's face filled with terror. Relena flipped her cell phone shut and stood up. Heero stood up too. Grabbing his hand, they started off towards his car in a fast pace.
Heero started the engine and looked quizzical at Relena.
"Do you remember where my mother lives?"
"Yeah." Heero was confused.
"Can you take me there?"
"Sure. As soon as you tell me what's going on?"
"My mother is being held hostage by a bomb."
Heero quickly took off in Ms. Darlian's direction. He reached over and gripped Relena's hand tight.
"Whatever happens let me help you through this this time. Promise me."
Relena looked shocked at his comment. Heero looked over at her and smiled. Relena smiled back.
"Promise."
"I have one question though."
"Sure go ahead."
"Did you kill Peter?" Her smile disappeared.
"..."
"Relena?"
"No."
