23: Xmas Eve; A.C. 199
Margaret blinked unsure if she had seen what she had just saw, she stared at the spot where the mobile suit once stood at for the longest time before de-rooting herself from her present position and heading off toward a cluster trees. She coughed roughly clutching her chest at the feeling of her own blood running out of the bullet wound given to her by Une, Margaret glowered at the thought of dying because of that dammed Nazi of a woman, it was a heavy blow to her pride; Margaret was under the impression that she'd commit suicide before anyone killed her. It turned out that her beliefs were wrong once more, just like she was about Jin.
Margaret had been absolutely sure her adopted Nephew had died with his parents on the colony, she was proved wrong by a stroke of dumb luck; Margaret had been sitting in a bar one night, A.C. 197, her beer watered down by seven chunks of ice, her head hung low and her eyes were fixated on the fizz rising from her glass. Her mind was in a sate of unrest, she tried to calm herself by blocking out the eerie silence that washed over the men that had drank themselves into a drunken stupor when she overheard a partial but sufficient amount of what a male news anchor was reporting. "Preventers are searching for a boy around the age of 11 to 12 years old, his height is usually tall for a child his age, his hair is chestnutbrown, and his eyes are a usual color... Onyx blue I believe. No picture has been released at this time."
At that moment, Margaret knew whom the anchor had described, a vivid image of a tired boy in a space suit smiling up at her played in her mind, she reached into the pocket of her green blouse and stared at the small piece of paper that contained the information and names of a group of orphans that had been taken from colonies to the earth, among those names was the name of her adopted Nephew; Jin Toshino, and the girl, Ryuusei. The company Sanseverwho was in league with her new boss she had never seen, wanted her to get obtain these orphans, because they believed these children were withholding information that was crucial to their plans and kill them if they didn't; the Stratagos mobile suit program, the program she had left on the ground near the military facility after she caught by Rei, that night in her office. Rei's bundle of joy survived the explosion of the colony, but how was a sheer mystery to her and forever would be. And from that point on Margaret was hell bent on completing her failed mission and killing the only person that could kill her.
Margaret found herself standing in the middle of the snow riddled forest, she was not even several miles away from the Military base. She blinked unsure if why she hadn't left like she planned to. Then she remembered...... her mission was incomplete! Margaret turned to toward the base and stared at it with intent eyes pulling out the gun she had hidden in her jacket. Swallowing the woman headed back the direction she came determined to finish what she stared. She refused to leave with a sense of feeling incomplete weighing heavy inside her.
(December 24, 12:00AM)
A brief moment of silence washed over all them before the sound of a gun being fired and a cry of pain from Margaret shattered it. "Don't be so sure," A voice from behind Heero said.
The Japanese teenager turned his head toward the direction of the voice, his Prussian blue eyes fell upon five figures standing beside the demolished wall of the base, all them he knew very well. Trowa and Lady Une stood in front of Quatre, Jin, and Dorothy, their guns drawn and aimed at Margaret's wrist. However, only one of them had fired on the red haired woman and that was Trowa. Margaret looked to her hand to find that she had dropped the detonator on the ground, her wrist was bleeding profusely much to her dismay, the older woman glared up at Trowa who remained unfazed by her expression. "Margaret Cypher, I demand that you release the Vice Foreign minister at once or next time I won't miss," Trowa spoke with an eerily calm tone of voice.
Margaret could not hold back a growl that rumbled deep in her throat as pressed her arm hard against Relena's throat making the honey blonde girl whimper in discomfort, Heero's legs itched to go into action and pounce the woman before him. The 44-year-old woman applied more pressure on the side of Relena's head with the barrel of her gun. "In case you haven't noticed, I have the upper hand, Mr. Barton," She sneered. "You are in no position to demand anything of me!" Trowa remained calm, knowing neither of them were in the position to making demands, however, they were ones at more of a disadvantage than Margaret. It was possible for them to shoot Margaret but he knew the mercenary would have no qualms about killing Relena which brought them to their problem.
Relena swallowed as much as could groaning at the uncomfortable feeling while her throat was in an arm lock, she looked to Heero who was looking tense and unsure of what do. Once upon time, Relena knew he wouldn't have a problem eliminating her if she was an obstacle to his mission or so she thought. Heero never did go through with his so-called promise. Heero opened his mouth to speak his mind but another had beat him to the punch. "L-Let her go, Auntie..... Margaret..... please," Came the weakest sound of human's voice any one of them had heard. Margaret's breath was caught in her throat she watched Trowa lower his gun and turn around to take of a glance at the tattered Jin. His braid had come undone and his injuries had turned purple from being uncared for Margaret felt her heart cry out in concern but her mind smothered all and any sort of emotion that resembled compassion and the love that had never really died for the young boy.
Trowa shifted his eyes from the 13-year-old to their enemy; He took notice that Margaret looked unfazed by the boy's plead externally but he knew internally was another thing, the woman was one messed up soldier, emotionally used as a puppet for far too long. Her ability to know what was right or wrong in the sense he was thinking of was distorted along with her sense of humanity for others. Trowa watched the manic grin spread across the woman's face, a feeling of dread fell upon him. Margaret pulled Relena closer to her readying her gun to fire, Relena swallowed again as her distracted herself with thoughts of her father and brother wondering how they would react in such a situation if they were in her place. "Don't think that pleading is going to save the minister boy. I should've killed the moment I laid eyes on all of you," Margaret snapped bending down, reaching for the detonator.
Heero watched with glowering eyes as the woman picked the object off the ground, grasping it in her hand as if her life depended on it. Heero shifted his gaze toward Relena who was looking calmer than she felt at that moment, he groaned slightly fighting to keep himself still and in a standing position. The aching in his dislocated leg was more than he could bare but he had to if Relena was going to live, one false from move either of them would set the madwoman off. Margaret parted her lips letting breath pass over their chapped exterior before running her tongue across them.
"Now I'm going to end the very existence of retaliation; myself and you Gundam pilots," She chuckled. Jin's eyes narrowed only for a moment before an overwhelming pain formed in his stomach seizing all function of his body, his world became blurry overshadowed by a strange white light that seemed brighter than the sun itself. His eyes widened to the point where they appeared to bulge out of his skull, his pupils dilated at the sight of data-tacks compiling of zeros and ones streamed in front of his eyes. Wha-- what's happening?! He thought frantically as the pain became more severe. Jin found himself wrenching his body out Quatre's comforting grasp. The Korean teenager clutched his sides at the burning sensation in his heart that would not cease for anything, he could not hear himself crying for help; the silence blaring in his ears was by the most deafening thing he had ever heard.
It Hurts! Someone make it stop! Please make it stop!! HELP!! Jin was unable to form speech his throat felt as though it was being sealed he made a gagging noise when he attempted to speak again. Quatre stepped back feeling trapped inside himself feeling of the agony Jin was going through, the blonde felt as though his heart was going to burst. Trowa's head whipped toward Jin with wide green eyes unsure of what was happening to the young man. Trowa rushed over to Jin dropping to his knees discarding his weapon which he placed on the ground beside him, he gripped Jin by the shoulders steadying his trembling body. "Jin what's wrong?!" He cried worriedly. Jin's mouth began trembling violently, Trowa jerked back at the sound of the gagging noise he made.
The young boy fell over in a hunched position proceeding to vomit a strange substance amongst his Sylvia mixed blood. Quatre turned to Heero who looked just as puzzled as he did but had a good idea what was causing this violent reaction in Jin. He turned meeting Margaret's knowing gaze. "Why did you want Jin in the first place?" He asked as calmly as he could. Margaret scoffed with a roll of her eyes. "Isn't obvious? The project his mother was working on Stratagos," She whispered with a smile. Heero's eyebrows narrowed in slight confusion, Margaret saw this and explained; "Stratagos; it was supposed to be a mobile suit system to improve the performance of the mobile suit, but it seems that she turned it into a human performance drug (based on the machine system) as well. The drug I gave him, Cetus, must've reacted violently to it. How unfortunate for you boy," She uttered narrowing her eyes.
Jin unable to respond, the 13-year-old's body continued to spasm as Trowa held him laid on him on his stomach to prevent him from choking on his tongue, preventing the trashing from becoming any worse than it was. Heero stared at Jin's helpless state putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Sansever, the company that was merging with Gravitation inc. wanted the drug in Jin's system Margaret mentioned to enhance the performance and perhaps their intelligence on combat skills of their rebel army. And when the mercenary woman worked for became the Vice foreign minister, they'd be the new dictator of ESUN and pretend to maintain peace before unleashing a war onto the defenseless world, then pinning it on the five of them. Then execute Relena and themselves.
The Gundam pilots; So that's why they wanted us to join them, Heero thought angrily. Relena could see the realization in Heero's eyes but was unsure what he had found out. Her heart leapt at the pleading in Jin's strangled gasps wishing she could doing something to comfort him. "It makes no difference to me whether you've figured it out Yuy, it won't change the fact that we're all going to die here," Margaret snapped causing Heero send a dark look in her direction. Relena glared at the unsuspecting woman bringing her hands up toward the woman's forearm, grasping it tightly. Margaret didn't even have time to react; before she knew it Relena had slipped out from under her arm kicking her feet out from beneath her, the red-haired woman cried out in alarm when she hit the ground.
Relena proceeded to run toward Heero but was tripped over when Margaret grasped her ankle pulling down on the ground as well, the honey blonde hit the ground hard enough to knock the wind out of her. Heero jumped into the fray leaping onto Margaret, he wrestled the woman to the ground with his elbow in her chest while his right hand tried to pry the detonator out of her hand, he grasped the top of it keeping his hand away from the button and pulled it out of her grasp. He tossed it to Relena who caught it with shaky hands, she looked to him with a confused expression. "Move Relena!" He cried before he was kicked in the face. Relena scrambled to her feet dashing away from the scene toward Trowa and the others.
Margaret rolled over onto Heero ramming her elbow into Heero's bullet wounded shoulder, he cried out the more pressure she applied to his injury unable to wrench himself out from underneath her. Duo who watched from afar was unable to remain in his place, disregarding his broken arm the American pilot ran out into the fray deaf to Hilde's plead to stop. The 17-year-old jumped onto Margaret's back pulling to the woman off his friend only to fall beneath her, Duo took a sharp intake of breath when he felt her weight on his broken arm but he did not cry out. Margaret rolled off the lanky teenager fighting to climb to her feet, the red-haired woman growled in frustration as her hands clawed the ground for the detonator, before looking up at Relena who stood good distance from Margaret's current position.
The 44-year-old gritted her teeth, her eyebrows narrowed dangerously. "....You...!" The woman snarled. Blindly she picked her gun off the ground and everything seemed to slow in that instant. Relena watched as Margaret's arm swing over into her direction the gun aimed high, aimed straight at her heart she noticed. Relena would not let the woman scare her she narrowed her eyes and stood her ground to show her defiance toward the mercenary. Trowa turned his head toward his fallen weapon before he felt himself rising from the ground, he looked down and found himself being thrown off by the 13-year-old youth still trembling from the strange reaction to the dormant drug inside him, he pushed himself forward sailing slight off the ground toward the gun.
Jin fell on his side in front of Relena grabbing the gun up out of the snow, he slid his leg back sending Relena off balance, the honey blonde haired girl slipped and fell once more flat on her back, she was careful not press the button. Jin heard Margaret's gun go off at the last moment missing Relena by a good several inches, he aimed Trowa's pistol as best as he could although the constant unfocusing of his eyes was making that a harder task than usual. His breathing was becoming labored due to the energy he used from all that he did, Jin could hear his heartbeat pounding louder with each breath he took, he could feel his head beginning to droop sleep beckoning him. Your enemy stand's before you ... kill her, she killed your family! Let nothing stand in your way!!!
The Korean boy's eyes widened despite that he could not see anything through them, he looked around searching for the owner of the voice, but saw nothing but blurs and blotches around him. His head began to pound painfully, he groaned clutching his head with his unoccupied hand. "M-my enemy......Who is my enemy?" He rasped. Heero's eyes widened when those words reached his ears, he turned toward Quatre who was not staring at the chaos that was going on outside but his eyes were focused on inside of the base. Heero needed not an explanation as to what the young boy had meant for he had uttered those words himself at one point. Heero climbed to his feet to stop the 13-year-old from firing the weapon but Duo held him down with his only useful arm on Heero's right arm and his legs around his waist.
"No Heero, you'll get killed!" Duo hissed holding the Japanese teenager back. "Jin don't fire! Its the ZERO system! Margaret's not your enemy!!" Heero shouted futilely. All heads turned toward him in question except for Quatre's; his eyes were focusing on the now-functioning Wing Zero, its cockpit glowing bright yellow and its jade eyes illuminating the poorly lighted hangar. Quatre dashed into the base his mind set on shutting down the accursed machine before it did any real harm to the boy.
Jin could barely make heads or tails of what was going on at that point, all that mattered was destroying the enemy before it killed Relena. "I must get rid of my enemy...," He fired Trowa's pistol on Margaret who was slightly bewildered at the phrase. Jin grinned in satisfaction until the world around him turned back dancing with golden streams, his eyes widened in confusion before the darkness was priced by a white light and a familiar voice calling his name. Jin could feel his spirits lifting tremendously.
He saw Mariemaia running toward him wearing a smile he knew was just meant for him. "Jin!" She called waving to him. Jin wanted to run toward her he wanted to embrace her and tell her he was sorry for acting so coldly toward her, but the by the time he fired Trowa's pistol it was already too late. The image of Mariemaia was shattered the bullet from the weapon and all that could be heard from the girl was her last breath. Jin's onyx-blue eyes went dead when he realized he killed one of the best things of his life he could recall. "Mariemaia!!--- NO!!" He screamed dropping the pistol. The 44-year-old woman was caught off guard when she felt something prece her lower abdomen with enough force to send her reeling backward, Jin? She thought, an agonized cry escaped her.
Duo and Heero watched dumbfounded as the mercenary fell to the ground possibly rendered immobile, slowly they turned their heads toward the boy across from them looking just as they were, unsure if it had happened at all. Heero's eyes narrowed in an unknown emotion when he looked at Jin. "Hn. Jin," He whispered in dismay. Trowa rose to his feet with the help of Dorothy and Lady Une, he too was in equal shock while Relena just looked blank as a sheet untouched paper. Had he done it? Had Jin really shot Margaret? Relena's brow furrowed in confusion as she stared at the now standing barely Jin, his shoulders slouched he was slight bent over his arms and legs were apart from each other all trembling with equal disbelief and uncertainty. Relena noted that he looked out of his mind as if he weren't among the living, but that was impossible.
Jin could see the data tracks running upward before his eyes as he tried to make out the blurry images in front of him, his stomach heaved violently as he fought to stop the trembling that seemed to rattle him to his very soul. Every breath he that escaped him took effort to make and his lungs burned nothing he ever felt. The blurred images of the past happenings flashed through his mind amongst the data-tracks and light. "Wha-- what is this...?" He rasped.
Wait! I don't want to hurt you, I only want to help you!
In case you've forgotten he was associated with Dorothy Catalonia's sister's rebel force, which makes him plausible for jail.
Look I can't tell you much but someone is after you. Be careful of what you do and where you do it, understand?
......But you try your damnedest to be just like him. Emotionless, a soldier, inhuman, when in fact your hurting inside and you just use this imitation as facade to hide the real you. Your as human as any one who lost their parents Jin. At least you knew them. I never knew mine.
You'll do what boy? Kill me? I find that hard to believe, really I do.
Come back soon, Jin.
Jin found himself to be overwhelmed by the array of emotions he was feeling, none of them familiar right to him at all. He clutched his head his nails scraping his scalp. He fell to the ground vomiting the remaining offending drugs inside of him, he could not breath during that time. Trowa ran up to the teenager as fast as he could recognizing his symptoms right away the tall Latin American fell beside him he caught the boy just as he finished his vomiting spell, Trowa held the boy tight in his arms never letting his upper body touch the ground his green eyes scanned the area for Quatre but could no trace of his blonde comrade. "Where's Quatre!?!" He shouted, tensing at the wheezing from Jin. "He's inside the base, trying to shut down Zero," Wufei replied. Trowa looked to the Chinese preventer in question but nodded nonetheless.
Heero climbed to his feet followed his braided friend, he looked to Duo who was holding his broken arm with only one his eyes open. Heero looked him over twice before speaking. "Are you all right?" Duo looked at Heero stumbling back a bit, his legs were stinging worse than before, his torso felt like it was bleeding (but in reality it wasn't), his head hurt like hell and Heero was asking him if he was all right? All right was an understatement. Grinning the American replied, "Considering everything that's happened, sure I'm fine," Heero's eyes opened a little more his eyebrows raising slightly at his response, Duo knew it was his way of showing he was amused.
"Your a lousy liar, Maxwell," Heero retorted. Duo gave the Japanese teenager a hopeless shrug before turning his attention to the shivering woman on the ground below them, they watched her brown eyes shift toward them giving them a deadly glare. Duo nodded to the right and Margaret turned her head to the right, her eyes fell upon Lady Une holding a gun at her. The red-haired woman glared at her as she tried to push herself off the ground she raised her hand up to Lady Une indicating she wanted to assistance from her. The only she got from Lady Une was handcuffs upon her wrists, Margaret yelled out in pain as she was hauled onto her feet, Une held the woman firm in her grip.
Une was compelled to slap her, Margaret deserved every pit of pain she was in but decided against it. With one hand grasping Margaret's wrist Une reached for her radio removing it from her skirt. As readed herself to speak into it a roaring sound above them caught her attention, they all looked up in question at the mobile suit carrier hovering above them and two mobile suits approaching their area as well. Heero took a brief glance at what was going on above him then turned his head toward Relena who still remained across from them, standing next Dorothy looking as though she had been betrayed. He had feeling he knew why.
Heero made no eye contact with her as he turned his attention back to Duo, his friend was no longer stood beside him, Heero scanned the area for the lively teenager and spotted him leaning up against Hilde. His brow creased with concern, Duo looked worse than he had said he felt if he was leaning on Hilde for support. Turning his head away from the scene he turned his attention to the base; Quatre and Wufei were just coming out to inspect the noise they heard. Heero nodded in their direction, Quatre sent a small wave toward him while Wufei simply nodded. It looked as though everything was going to be fine, now all they had to do was get the nearest hospital.
Mariemaia awoke with a start her eyes gazed upon unfamiliar surroundings, she almost thought she was still held captive by the Margaret character then remembered that she was her and Jin's bedroom. The 10-year-old girl sighed groggily holding her head in her hand at the small throbbing sensation from sleeping in a strange position, Mariemaia looked around the now the darkened bedroom wondering when she had fallen asleep and why Catherine hadn't come to wake her up for soup if she had made any at all. Perhaps she was just trying to make conversation with me. I have been giving her the silent treatment for some time now, Mariemaia thought guiltily. Climbing off Jin's bed the girl headed out of the room paying no attention to the slumbering Ryuusei on her bed.
She climbed down the flight of stairs greeted by the sound of the voices from the television, she spotted Catherine on the couch wrapped up in a blanket holding a lukewarm cup of soup. Mariemaia approached the brown haired girl soundlessly peering at the screen of TV. Images from her assault on earth a while back appeared on the screen before it switched back to the news anchor pretending to look sullen. "What are they talking about?" Mariemaia asked. Catherine sat upright almost dropping her mug.
Mariemaia giggled at the older woman's reaction toward her. "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to scare you," Catherine turned to glance at the girl before waving it off as nothing with a short-lived laugh of her own. "Your soup is still the pot, you might want to warm it up though," Catherine announced as the orange-red haired girl made her away into the kitchen. Mariemaia nodded wordlessly to the back of the brown-haired woman before turning the kitchen light on, the room was suddenly illuminated with the soft glow of the florescent lights Mariemaia smiled. Spotting the stainless-steel pot on the stove the girl moved over to the cabinets and pulled out of a green colored snow flaked mug. Walking over to the pot she picked up the wooden spoon proceeding to pour the soup into the mug, she watched the broth fall into her mug until she stopped and placed the pot onto the stove again. Mariemaia then walked over to the microwave and placed the mug inside for twenty minutes, she leaned up against the counter beside the microwave her arms crossed against her chest in deep thought.
Mariemaia stared down at paper unable to keep her concentration; the new boy, Jin was far more interesting than smelly old algebra II, of that she was certain. She glanced up at where he was sitting, he seemed to be totally absorbed in his school work ignoring the whispers of the female classmate beside him, he chewed on his bottom lip appearing to thinking extremely hard on whatever problem was giving him a hard time, Mariemaia suppressed a giggle at the creasing of his brow before he shifted his eyes toward him. Mariemaia paused in her place blinking rapidly at the indifferent look he was giving her before he returned his attention back to his paper. "Did you see that, he looked at Mariemaia!" One girl said, ecstatically. Mariemaia felt herself sinking into her seat at the constant chatter going about her; their teacher was strangely absent.
Mariemaia remembered the nun saying she had important business to attend to but would return before they knew it, but the nun had yet to return. "That's first signs of life he showed since he introduced himself," A boy said under his breath. Mariemaia heard one boy scoff and shift in his seat. "I've heard about his kind, their antisocial and like to ignore people," He said. "So what? You like to pick fights, what's the difference?" The girl across from her replied angrily. Suddenly the sound of a chair scraping against the floor startled everyone out of their gossiping modes, all eyes were focused on Jin who was standing up looking unhappy. Moving away from his chair, he put all his working utensils in his desk and proceeded down the stairs. He paused and shifted his eyes toward the entire student body in the class. "You're all a bunch of pathetic fools," Jin said Korean, then turned and looked at Mariemaia. "Does everyone here act like this?" Mariemaia shrugged. With a roll of his eyes, Jin resumed walking. She watched him head down the stairs and exit the class room just the nun came rushing in. "What did he say?" Another boy asked. No one answered.
An hour later Mariemaia found herself walking through the crowded halls of the school headed for the lunch area outside upon the large balcony, her eyes were cast downward looking at her moving feet. She had not seen Jin since that time he was at his first class, it was like he vanished into thin air. She made her way out of the crowded halls and onto the balcony. All the eating students glanced her sideways chewing slowly, Mariemaia smiled politely and made her way toward a less populated area of the balcony.
The sound of sea gulls filled the air, the schools lunch bell rang in the distance and most of the students were finishing up their lunches. Mariemaia stood in one place looking around her for Jin when she spotted him sitting on the wall of the balcony his back up against the brick wall, one leg propped up on the wall while the other dangled over the side. He seemed absorbed in the book he was reading, completely oblivious to Mariemaia's presence. Swallowing the girl walked over to the boy wondering what she was going to say to him, but when she got over to him Jin did not look up at her, his eyes remained on the book. Clearing her throat Mariemaia straightened out her uniform then tapped on his knee.
Jin's eyes averted up at her. "Ahem," She grunted. Jin blinked tempted to get up leaving her where she was. "Pardon?" He uttered. Mariemaia blinked in confusion, didn't he just speak Japanese a while ago? She thought, he must Japanese! "Konnichi wa-- good afternoon," She replied. "Ogenki desu ka--- are you well?" Jin's eyes widened in an almost comical way, he shrugged replying with a small nod, Mariemaia nodded hopping up onto the wall, Jin eyed her strangely before returning his attention back to his book. "Hajimemashite, I'm Mariemaia Kushrenada," She said extending her hand to him. Jin stared up at her with a quizzical look, he closed his book. "Jin Toshino, that was Korean I spoke, not Japanese," He replied jumping down from the wall. Mariemaia felt his hand in hers giving her a quick hand shake before he left vanishing from sight. He's Korean then...? She though as a breeze came through.
Mariemaia was shaken from her thoughts when the sound of the microwave went off. She opened the machine's door and grabbed her mug of soup by the handle, the girl shut the door with a sigh. Mariemaia wondered if Jin had succeeded in killing Margaret or at least destroying himself trying to, there were so many possibilities surrounding his current situation and so many ways for him to die as well it almost sickened her to be holding the pendant that Jin gave her. But she couldn't loose it because she didn't want to watch it for him, he did entrust it to her after all, sighing the 10-year-old headed into the living room. Catherine turned to greet the girl as she came around the ouch to sit down beside her, Catherine noticed the worried expression on her face had yet to vanish and wondered what she could possibility do to get the girl to smile again. Looking away from Mariemaia Catherine focused her sights upon the darkened sky outside, she hoped Trowa would come back to her soon.
"My father, Jeffery Shore used to work for the Romafeller foundation, he was scientist for them undercover in the Alliance on a colony in the L3 area, he was chief assistant to a woman named Rei Toshinio, who was perfecting one of her most anticipated programs, Stratagos a mobile suit performance enhancer made for the LEOs and a prototype mobile suit she was working on with several other scientists, among them was Dr. G. Duke Dermail wanted my father to steal her programs so he could use it for the Romafeller's benefits promising to pay him richly in American dollars. Our family was poor, so my father could not refuse his so-called kind offer and he tried to steal the Stratagos program but was caught by Rei's husband," Gabrielle looked at the two preventers in front of her. They looked skeptical as to how she knew what she was telling them. "What? My father was not one to leave one day of his life unrecorded." Jennie nodded slowly gesturing to the woman, wanting her to continue.
