(I do not own GW!!!!! Also please read and review Cast: Wufie, Quatre, Trowa, Hero, Dou, Sally, Relena, Serenity, Dorothy, Catherine, Hanna, Kim, Allen, Millardo, and Noin. [Flash back], thoughts that are written, ((author's crappy notes))
The walk to the preventor building was long but uneventful for Trowa but it gave him some time to think about the girl he had followed. She had had a hardened soldier feel to her actions even if it had been hidden behind the fake sweetness of a young woman visiting family. There was something about her that bothered him but he could not put an answer to it much less a question. Shaking his head he noticed he had reached his destination and with a shrug and an ironic grin he walked onto the base ready to meet with the other pilots.
Trowa walks calmly into the preventor building and walks down the hallway to the elevator to the second floor down that hallway and into the lounge room. The angry buzz of voices that assaulted him when he walked in did not quiet till they noticed him standing at the door and even then Wufie and Dou were still yelling at one another about who was supposed to or should have put in extra surveillance.
Quatre was the first one to notice him standing there followed by Hero and Sally. All three waited for him to speak with Wufie and Dou yelling in the background. Nodding to them he motioned towards the hall so that they would have a little more quiet to speak in. nodding back in agreement they walked calmly into the hall leaving the two arguing men in the other room. Once out in the hall Trowa began
"I followed her into a club but I lost her in the crowd I think she may be planning on laying low but other then that she seems to be quite resilient."
Sally nodded thoughtfully before adding her information
"From what medical data we have on her she appears to have sustained other injuries of greater caliber then the gunshot wound but we didn't have time to confirm that before she left. I also had a fingerer print and DNA test done to find and detect her identity."
Hero made an appropriate noise in the back of his throat and Quatre nibbled absently at his lip. Just when Trowa was about to speak a lab technician ran up to Sally and held out a piece of paper as he panted and braced his hands on his knees to keep from falling over. Sally took the paper and absently began skimming the contents of the page before stopping and re reading parts of it. Numbly she felt the paper fall from her hand as she let out a shaky breath at what she had just read. Quatre bent and picked up the paper reading it over and then handing it to Hero who afterwards handed it to Trowa.
The line of the report read as followed:

Trowa swallowed each of them knew there was something wrong. That girl was not dead and if everyone thought she was then why was she turning up now?! The hall was quiet even Wufie and Dou had stopped arguing as if they could feel the wrongness in the air. Something that had no real forum wrapped itself around both the pilots and Sally making the feeling grow. There was something wrong here and only time would tell what it was and if they could beat it. Sally shook herself mentally and then remembered the assassin that was currently cooling his heels in the medical lab reserved for "special" guests. Smiling a bittersweet smile Sally also remembered the weapons, equipment, and not to mention the bullet the clean up team had dug out of the floor. She figured that somewhere between all of that they would find their answer, but first to pay a visit to their guest.

Serenity looked wearily at the shocked expression of her contact before giving a weak smile and slid down the door unable to keep herself upright after the strain of walking after all the blood lose yesterday. The man swallowed before hurrying over to her and helping her into a chair. Serenity allowed herself to rest her eye for a few seconds before speaking with her eyelids still tightly shut.
"I need to go back Raiden I'm needed back and I need to go back for myself and so Hanna doesn't lose it if I don't turn up relatively soon."
The silent in the room made his disapproval of the action she wanted to take clear, he might as well tell her that it was to big of a risk in her current state. Raiden final sighed and walked over to the mini bar in the back left of the room and pored her a glass of ice water before returning to stand right in front of her. Groaning a little Serenity opened her eyes and took the out held drink. Sipping it a little she nearly whispered a quiet thank you.
Rolling her shoulders she winced at the tension but sat up straight and regarded the man in front of her. Both stared at each other before he looked away not able to stand the ice cold stare of the other any longer. Serenity sighed and closed her eyes relieved that she had won that small victory, then grimaced at how her training was so well ingrained into her mind and body even after all the time since she had tried to forget.
The last thought had left a bitter taste in her mouth so she gulped down the water before turning her attention back to Raiden. Raiden sighed and picked up a cell phone but stopped before dialing the number to give one last try at reason.
"You really should stay for just a bit it is apparent that whatever injury you sustained was serious enough to make you ill. I could put you up for just a day or two so you could heal some and then go back, I'm sure Hanna would be happier if you came back remotely in one piece and not slumped over the cockpit of that scrap you call a Gundam."
Serenity's smile was a flash of teeth and an arched eyebrow before she laughed at the last remark and smiles a true smile at her friend.
"I'll be fine Raiden I have had worse wounds then this"
She gestured vaguely at her midsection before continuing
"In fact I have had alto worse so please just call Samantha and have her drive me to that "heap of scrap metal and wires" as you so affectionately call it all the time."
Raiden couldn't help but smile at the remark and dialed the number taking her mirth as a sign she was indeed better then what she looked like when she had come in. after a brief conversation with Samantha they confirmed the pick up at the back of the club in half an hour. After the confirmation Raiden gave her the pack with her other clothing and on top of it placed a small but efficient first aid kit to use when she changed.
Serenity smiled gently before she walked into the staff bathroom locking the door behind her and pulled off the dress and looking at the bandage round her waist. Grimly she noticed that she would have bled through the wrapping in a few more minutes. Pulling out the one of the ace bandages, wipes, and gauze she cleaned and re wrapped the injury before changing into blue jeans and an oversize sweater to hide bulk of the new bandage. Cleaning up the mess she tucked everything away again and slipped out back just in time to get into the black van.
She was going back and this time she would be ready for the next attempt on the Vise Foreign Minister's life she promised herself.
