An: Yay! I'm glad I didn't die of flaming. I expected everyone to positively kill me, but I promise, it's getting better here. We're winding down.

Ch. 19 – Help

Heero began to read some of the information he'd found on Kevin out loud.

"Matthew Corey… Aliases: Kevin Beaumont, Jason Landings, Anthony Cummings, John Stanton.

Occupation: Manager, owner, and operator of Kevin's approximately 12;5 miles from here, Manager, owner, and operator of Bohemian Blitz in Aruba, Journalist for "Star," the magazine Relena's been in…

Fictious Occupations: Journalist for "Business Weekly" magazine, Journalist for "Wedding" magazine, Journalist for "Music Today" magazine, Journalist for "Style" magazine, Waiter at Cocomo Bay in Aruba, and the list continues…."

"This guy's a professional."

"A professional con artist. He's been convicted of public endangerment, rape, embezzling money, bad checks, and carrying a firearm without a license, and another rap sheet for each of his identities that are twenty miles long. It seems that since his convictions he's come into quite a lot of money and paid off all his debt. I figure he's doing more than enough of paying to keep all the people's mouths shut that know about his shady past and keep himself…his real life that is…out of the tabloids."

"So how do we get him? He's obviously not currently on the run for anything, and I don't know of anything technically criminal he's done."

"I'll keep looking."

"Heero."

Heero glanced over his shoulder to see Quatra standing there, looking teary eyed. "What is it? I'm busy."

"Heero, Relena's had an accident. You need to go to the hospital, now."

"What?" He flew up out of his seat, and it slid back across the room. "Which one, where is she?"

"I can take you to her. They sent me to come and get you."

Heero took a glance back at the computer.

"Don't worry man, I'll stay here and work on. You take care of her." And Heero ran out the door after Quatra. Duo shook his head sadly and looked back at the computer screen. "Gosh, I hope she's ok."

------------------

The constant beep of Relena's heart monitor was the only noise Zechs could hear around him. The whole world seemed so dark, so cold, and he shivered inwardly. He could feel his face was wet with tears, but he had gone numb house ago sitting in the chair. The only thought that ran through his mind was Where is Yuy?

Heero entered the room and nearly lost his breath. She looked so pale and fragile like a single touch of his hand would break her.

Quatra had filled him in on the way there that she had fallen in the shower, and it was estimated to be about a half an hour before Zechs found her. When he brought her in, they said if it had been twenty minutes longer, they would have lost her. Now, there was only a fair chance of keeping her alive overnight. She and the baby were both stable at the moment, but it could change in an instant.

Heero's heart nearly stopped.

Zechs made no acknowledgement that Heero had entered the room, even after he sat down in the chair across from him, and took Relena's frail hand. But inwardly he was happy for him to be there. You're the only one that's ever gotten through to her.

He stroked her fingers with his thumb and stared at her wedding ring, that even though it wasn't much, she was so proud of. One day I'm going to get her a new one, a better one. Relena, you have to live. I can't loose you. I should have been there and none of this would have happened. Then the thought crossed his mind, What if this was self-inflicted? What if you thought I really wasn't coming home? Would you go so far as to try and commit suicide? Like this?

Quatra stood in the doorway and held back his own tears. C'mon Relena. I know times are tough, but you've got to pull through. You finally have everything you've ever wanted. I wish you could just look at see those two. Milliardo and Heero, right across from each other, not yelling, not screaming, just both worrying about you. Heero Yuy, worrying himself to death over you. And if that little baby will just hold on, in a couple months, you, and he or she, and Heero, you'll be a family. Just the three of you, one happy family.

But no one's thoughts reached Relena, and no one spoke, out of fear of the other's hearing. So the only noise that filled the air was the stead sound of a heart monitor and a few, long breaths.

-------------------

"I know the situation between you and Relena right now, Hilde, but I just thought you'd want to know." Noin's exhausted voice sounded horrible over the phone.

"Know what?"

"Relena had an accident last night. She was taking a shower and fell. They think it about thirty minutes before Zechs found her. He took her to the hospital, where she and the baby are stable, but still in critical condition. Heero and Zechs have both been up there all night, and Quatra's been in and out, trying to do anything they needed."

"Has…Duo?" She ventured, wondering, if he had, weather to take it as friendship or more.

"No, he called Quatra once to check on her, but he had an assignment he and Heero were working on that he volunteered to finish, since Heero left to be with Relena."

"Oh…" Her head wanted to tell her 'Serves her right for trying to steal my man!' But her heart kept saying 'Give it up, Hilde. She's been you friend a lot longer than a tabloid can destroy.' "Is she taking any visitors?"

"If Heero or Zechs will leave her side, they'll let two in at a time. One of them is going to need some sleep eventually, so call Quatra and tell him if either of them will agree to leave even just for a few minutes, you'd like to sit."

"All right…" You know it's the right thing. "Thanks, Noin."

"No problem."

Hilde laid the phone down and thought a moment. "I should probably call Duo. I'm sure he's a wreck too, and probably scared to go see her on account that I might find out."

She dialed his cell and listened to it ring half a dozen times, then held it away from her to hang up. "Hello?" His voice barely came through the receiver.

"Duo?" She asked, putting it back to her ear so she could actually hear him.

"Hild?"

"I…heard about Relena."

From his end, he couldn't tell if she cared, or was upset, or wasn't. "Yeah. It's pretty bad."

"You don't have to not see her on my account." Her words came off colder than she'd expected.

"I'm not. We're…well Heero and I were…tracking down Kevin."

"Oh…" Suddenly it was like a light bulb not only turned on, but had so much energy, it burst in her head, "I could help."

Wow, she sounded perky about that. "How?"

"He knows me, a little. Remember when I went to lunch with him?"

"How could I forget?" It's plastered all over the tabloids that you gave him a goodbye kiss.

"He'd accept my calls."

"And you'd be willing to help?"

"Anything to bring him down." He's destroyed our lives, Duo.

"By tomorrow I should have enough questions and such I need answered. If you can…" He swallowed hard, " 'date' him for long enough, we may can beat him at his own game."

"I'll call you tomorrow." And she hung up the phone. "It's the least I can do for you, Heero, and Relena."

An: It's getting better, ne?

Raizard333 – Yeah, if she wakes up.

Rinny Leonheart – Yeah, that's perfectly fine. I think that's a great idea for a fic with the both of them. I'd definitely read it! And looks like Linwe lossehelin would too, since they agree with us. Things are all ready beginning to work themselves out. Obvious you know the first part of your question now, but will she be ok, debatable. I love the signature!

Youkai No Rin – She won't loose the baby unless she dies, and I haven't decided about that yet. I like a little tragedy every now and then.

TheEvilAshleyness – I can't wait to answer all your questions.

Crystal-gundam – we'll just have to see…

Hououza – thanks! I love 'Kevin hunting' that's adorable. Thanks for everything.

Linwe lossehelin – thanks for reading and reviewing.
