k2: Well, I am thoroughly embarrassed. I must apologize profusely to you guys.

MK: Somebody made a boo-boo!"

k2: Err…yeah, you see…the reason it took so long for this 'revision' to get put up is kinda complicated.

MK: She didn't forget! Well, sorta.

k2: I got side tracked with rediscovering a CGI toon I used to watch called ReBoot. I spent three straight days digging up info for it and, after that, the odd's and ends found me. But after that I realized I had forgotten to upload chapter four of my story.

MK: She smacked herself over the head and dug it up to upload. Only…there was a problem.

k2: I never revised it.

MK: That's right folks! This little vixen had totally skipped out on revising chapter four in the past!

k2: And when I attempted to start work on it I remembered exactly why I skipped it too. This had been the worst chapter I had ever written. In fact I had to practically rewrite the entire thing! IT was a nightmare to even look at!

MK: Err…she's still having nightmares; I think it best if I take over from here.

k2: The carnage. The vile carnage! So many plot holes, too many mistakes for me to fix!

MK: Uh…yeah, it's okay. It's all over now, all right? (Sits her in a chair, patting her hand.) I got everything under control now, okay?

k2: So sad…so horrible….

MK: O.o;; err…well, anyway. She wound up splitting this thing in half, what you see before you was the first half of the original chapter, it's barley even the same! Well, in effect the general idea is the same, but the scenarios are drastically different. Originally everyone was in the same room when everything happened, she never explained about Trowa and Wufei (actually she just had them perfectly fine last time, or something)…. Wow. I mean…I look at it all now and say that this is much better. But I will let you guys be the judge of how well it looks, just please. If you find anything wrong with it at all, please please, please tell her. Just…be gentle when you do, okay? Have fun with this chapter!

MK: Hmm…just one more thing. Today marks exactly three years since this fic was first done, having been posted on her graduation day from High School. So, in effect, it is a double anniversary! Three years for the fic and three years since graduated! In celebration of that (and as an apology for taking so long with this) both half's of the original chapter 4 were supposed to be posted at the same time, i.e. today. Unfortunately, however, part to just refused to agree with us and has taken twice as long as part one. Sorry. Read and enjoy. (MK then begins to comfort the still freaked out k2)

"Not to sound rude or anything," Wufei began tightly as he watched the city pass by with growing impatience, "But is there any chance you can put your foot to the floor?"

"I'm going as fast I can allow." Troy replied warmly, "I understand you are in a hurry, but I won't cause an accident to get you to your destination."

Carl glanced at Troy, catching his eye. They both exchange a knowing eye Carl cemented the exchange with a murmured undertone. "I really think I am beginning to understand now Troy."

"Me as well Carl, me as well."

Catching this, and unsure whether it was actually meant not to be caught, Wufei glanced at Trowa who returned his glance with one of his own. They both saw it; they had noticed it earlier too. There was more to these 'good Samaritans' then had originally met the eye.

"This is it." Troy announced as he pulled into a nearby parking lot. "Main HQ for the North New Cinq branch of the Preventers police force. This is where you wanted to go, isn't it?"

"Essentially." Wufei stated shortly as he exited the car.

"Thank you." Trowa replied politely as he, too, exited.

"No need for any form of compensation." Troy answered before Trowa could get to it, "Just take care of those injuries, alright?"

Trowa nodded, thanked him again, and turned to the entrance to the HQ. "Good luck Mr. Barton, Mr. Chang, on finding your comrade!" Troy called out as he pulled away.

Both Wufei and Trowa spun around in shock, catching the tail end of the car as it sped away.

"Did you catch their plate number?" Trowa asked in an unease that only those who knew him would have seen.

"No." Wufei frowned, catching Trowa's barley revealed tension.

"I don't' like this."

Wufei glanced at Trowa. Trowa glanced at Wufei.

"More then a little obvious, wasn't it?" Wufei asked after a moment.

"They didn't even bother to hide the fact." Trowa murmured, "Question is, how much do they know about us and why?"

"Do you think it's related?"

"Can't be." Trowa shook his head as he turned to the main office again. "It may be fishy, but they were honest people. Even if it was related, I don't think they would be on the same side."

"A faction of their own then."

"How does that explain the youth with them?"

"Youth?"

"That young man around our age. They treated him like something special, as if they were protecting him."

"Mariemaia."

"I would think so, only from what I observed it just seemed different somehow."

"Your right." Wufei agreed reluctantly. "But we don't have time to think about this now, we have to concentrate on the matter at hand."

Trowa nodded and the two of them bypassed the main entrance to make their way towards the back of the building. At about midway the two of them stopped, a single metal door standing in front of them. Trowa grabbed the handle, twisted, and allowed it to swing open on it's own to reveal a walk in with a panel of buttons on the far wall indicating up or down. Both he and Wufei entered the walk in, allowed the door to swing closed after them and, with Wufei pressing the up button, a gate crossed over the door, blocking them in as the walk in, or elevator as the case may be, began to rise. The moment it stopped a part of the back wall slide aside to reveal a non descript metallic door with a slider on side of it. Wufei took his wallet out of his pocket, pulled a card out, and ran it through the slider.

Welcome, Chang Wufei. A disturbingly female voice robotically sang as the door slide open. On the other side of the portal lay a large room bustling with the same kind of activity one would see in a police station only, here, any criminal found in this upper section was most likely a terrorist or an assassin sent after one person or another. The door the two of them had just used was authorized for only a select few, the ex-pilots being among them.

"It's about time you two got here!" A hard feminine voice stated in obvious, yet fretful, anger.

Wufei glanced to the side to see a young Chinese woman, honey brown hair separated from the back into two large curls over her shoulders, standing with a medical bag in her hand.

"Sally?" Wufei asked

"I was told to meet you two at the entrance the moment you arrived." She answered his unspoken question. "I heard something about a missile launcher?"

"We crashed." Trowa's simple reply was just the sort of thing one would expect from him, to bad Sally wasn't happy with it.

"That's more then a little obvious, not to mention an understatement if what I heard was true. But we don't have time for this, I need look at you're injuries before we go any farther."

"We don't have time." Trowa replied as he tried to push past Sally.

"Make time Barton." Sally ordered, placing her hand on his shoulder and pushing him back against the door. "Lady Une may not be your boss, but I know you can't argue with a direct order from Miss Relena with Hiiro backing her up on it."

"She has him whipped." Wufei growled

"Besides." Sally released her hand from Trowa's shoulder, concern and compassion reflected in her soft hazel eyes. "Your no good to Quatre if you allow yourself to run down."

Trowa's own forest green eyes softened, a light glassiness growing briefly to show an almost infinitesimal amount of surprise at her gall. But, knowing that she spoke the truth, Trowa relaxed his posture and closed his eyes. Sally felt herself smile, knowing this was as close to an acknowledged yes as she would get.

"I don't really care what the two of you do anywhere else in this city when you come across each other." Lady Une stood behind her desk, her white knuckled hands splayed across the top with narrowed eyes. "But I insist that you at least use cooperation when within these walls, do I make myself clear?"

"Lady Une, if you would be so kind as to take into consideration-."

"Zech's!"

On the other side of the mahogany desk two figures, those of Hiiro Yui and Milliard Peacecraft, stared at the woman before them, Milliard in particular, startled by the sudden use of one of his much older nicknames. A nickname, due to it's meaning, that had been retired before the end of the one-year war.

Une fell back in her chair, irritated, and stared back up at the two young men before her as she rubbed her temple. "Miss Relena was quick enough to tell me of your…recent terms of companionship. And that is to say she told me how whenever you happen to stop by her place and see Yui there the two of you get into the most bizarre glaring contests. This is a professional work place; you both know that." Her eyes shifted to the longhaired blond, the look she gave him was slightly disappointed. "Especially you, Milliard, as one of my elite. I highly trust that you will refrain from…allowing your emotions to get the better of you while here?"

Milliard scoffed and glanced at Hiiro. "Emotions? From him?"

Une's reply was cold and hard. "He's shown some."

"Very well." Hiiro replied, though he felt it irritating to have to once again suppress what he'd spent so much time trying to rekindle.

Lady Une's door burst open with the speed of a bike racer, startling all three occupants in the room. To their surprise Duo stood, panting, and stared at them all with bewildered anger.

"Somethin's wrong!"

"What is it?"

"The dudes seizureing!"

"What?"

"I went in to check on him, see if he'd woken up yet. He looked at me one moment, the next his eyes rolled into the back of his head and began to shake all over the place!"

"Where's Sally?" Hiiro demanded as Milliard ran out of the room.

"Waiting for Chang and Barton!" Une stepped out from behind her desk and hurried into the hall after Milliard, her heart racing. No one was sure if these men were tied into the string of assassination attempts that had been occurring lately regarding Quatre and Dorothy, but she was hell bent of finding out the truth. Even if he had nothing to do with those he was still the only option they had right now, the only way they had to even begin to find Quatre. They couldn't' loose him, not now.

"Lady Une?"

Une stopped, whipped her head around, and saw Sally walking down the hall with both Wufei and Trowa trailing behind her.

"Follow me, now!" Une ordered as she began to run towards the interrogation lounge.

Trowa and Wufei exchanged bewildered glances but they followed after the two women nonetheless.

When they finally reached the interrogation lounge they saw Milliard, the other two ex-pilots (Both Hiiro and Duo had chased after Milliard when Une stopped for Sally) and a young pale looking officer currently on guard duty.

"He stopped." The youth stated, "He just…stopped. I swear, I didn't do anything, he just stopped moving!"

Without waiting for any orders Sally swept passed everyone and knelt down next to the unconscious man, checking his pulse.

"What's going on?" Wufei demanded quietly.

"Don't know, don't care." Duo growled, "Unfortunately he's our only lead to Quatre…dm# it!"

"How is he?" Une asked.

"Not good, not bad." Sally murmured as she opened her medical bag, "He's alive, but his pulse is weak." As Sally pulled her stethoscope out the figure on the floor made a loud audible groan before opening his eyes and looking around. Seeing Sally bent over him he his eyes flashed with awareness and he attempted to jump up and away, but the fact that his arm and leg were in a splint (they hadn't been able to cast his arm yet) hindered that movement and Milliard forced the man (gently) back onto his back.

"It's okay, we aren't going to hurt you." Sally stated calmly as the man struggled weakly in Milliards grasp.

"Much." Duo added.

The captives' eyes glanced at the brunette, but Sally did her best to ignore the youth and focused solely on the man on the floor. "Can you tell me just what happened here?" She asked softly, "I am beginning to think this wasn't a mere seizure."

At this he relaxed his body and stared at her with the eyes of a bewildered man. "I shouldn't be here." Was all he said.

Puzzled by his choice of both Duo and Wufei exchanged uneasy glances with each other and Duo found himself kneeling next to the guy as well. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"I should…be dead."

"Release him." Sally murmured, not looking at Milliard.

The tall blond man removed his hands and stood, keeping a watchful eye on the three on the floor as Sally and Duo both helped him sit up again.

"Why should you be dead?" Sally pressed.

A scoff. He shook his head. "You wouldn't' understand. None of you would understand."

"Does this mean you have nothing to loose?" Duo asked quickly, "Because we can cut you a deal if you cooperate with us."

He raised an eyebrow, showing interest. "What's in it for me?"

"Depends on what you can give us." Duo replied, his quirky grin falling into place. "Start by telling us what you're talking about."

"You couldn't' possibly understand." HE repeated, "I don't' even understand it."

"Try us." Sally replied. "I'm a doctor and everyone else in this room is a lot smarter then they look." Ignoring the odd looks everyone started giving her Sally continued, "We may be able to help you, but you need to trust us."

"I just helped kidnap someone you guys obviously think is important, I can tell certain people in this room would like to see me dead, tell me exactly how it is I can trust you?"

"I won't deny any of that as false, Mr. Winner is a very valuable-."

"Whadda'ya mean Mr. Winner? He's just a kid."

Sally blinked, surprised. "You don't' know?"

"Know what?"

"What, you been living in a hole your whole life or something?" Duo asked incredulously.

"Something like that." The guy replied guardedly, "I'll give ya that much. I don't' know anything outside what the doc taught me, and even in that I was a poor student. Why? Who is this kid we were supposed to kidnap?"

"Lorenzo, watch him." Une stated as she tapped Sally and Duo on the shoulders, gesturing for everyone to follow her outside.

The young officer nodded, stepped into the room and watched everyone else file out. When everyone but Lorenzo and their captive were left in the room Une closed the door and stared at everyone around her. "Well?" She asked.

"I don't' think he's playing us." Sally replied, "He's being very cooperative considering his predicament, and I think that 'seizure' had something to do with it."

"What, he just tried to suicide?" Duo asked

"No." Sally shook her head, thinking. "I believe it was something different, he had a look of betrayal hidden behind his eyes. It was hard to see, but there."

"Murder by remote?" Hiiro asked, "How?"

"I'm going back in to talk to him." Sally stated, "Milliard, I want you to come in also, but only you."

"Hey!" Duo cried

"You four are to close to this, you might impede on the information I need to gather. Milliard will take care of the other details, we will be both be doing our jobs in there."

"Tch! Whatever." Duo grumbled as he crossed his arms.

Nodding to Sally Milliard opened the door and they both entered the room together.

"This sucks." Duo growled as he kicked at the ground. "What do you guys think about it?"

"She's right." Wufei spat bitterly. "I hate it when she's right!"

"Her, or women in general?" Duo asked sarcastically.

"Her!" Wufei shouted

"Hey, is she the reason you've been in such a bad mood lately?"

Wufei glared at Duo, daring him to go on. Getting the hint real quick Duo grinned and turned his head around, his hands flying to rest behind his head. "So I see."

"Barton, are you feeling okay?"

Both Wufei and Duo turned to see Hiiro and Une standing next to Trowa who, during the course of conversation, began leaning heavily on the wall.

"I'm fine." Trowa replied, "Just dizzy."

"I think we better take you to the infirmary, Dr. Po isn't the only doctor on staff today." As Hiiro took Trowa's arm around his shoulders to help support him Une turned and gave a stern look to Wufei. You come as well Chang."

"Yeah, sure."

"Guess I'll stay and watch the proceedings then." Duo stated as he stepped to the side and stared through the one-way mirror.

"You boys have to be suicidal."

"Is it serious Dr. Norton?" Une asked tightly as she watched the doctor jot down his notes.

"Oh, nothing too serious, no. At least…not yet."

"'Yet' Dr. Norton?"

"That's what I said." He looked up at her, a smile on his face. "Or should I say could have been?"

Trowa, missing his shirt, sat on a sterile white-sheeted gurney with his eyes closed. His face had been cleaned with a bandage taped long the side of his face and over his ear with another bandage wrapped around his head where Dr. Norton had found a gash hidden on the back of his head. His shoulder and forearm were bandaged where the rode rash had peeled away a thin layer of skin.

"Please be specific Doctor." Une stated tiredly, "I'm not in the mood for games."

"Yes ma'am." Dr. Norton frowned; he hadn't expected her to be so concerned considering how well the youth was doing. "I had to drain some pressure from that gash I found, if continued to go unnoticed it would have continued to build in pressure until it couldn't take anymore and the vessel would have burst."

"I hate it when she's right." Wufei grumped from his position of leaning against the far wall. He wasn't as heavily bandaged as Trowa was (he'd been lucky that Trowa had grabbed him when he did) but he did have small bandages covering up the worst of his scratches. He had minor burns along the side of his body where the explosion had wracked him. Other then a few bruises he was far better off then Trowa. "How did you get hit on the back of the head anyway Barton?"

"Most likely debris from the explosion." Trowa replied automatically, his eyes still closed.

"Is it safe for him to rest?" Une asked quickly.

"Yes, I would actually recommend he stay here and rest for a few hours."

"Good. Yui, Chang, your with me."

"I don't need to rest." Trowa's eyes snapped open and he stared at Une pointedly.

"I think you know what you need." Une replied with a grim smile, "If Dr. Norton hadn't checked you thoroughly none of us would have known of that little bump on your head, would we have?"

Trowa refused to answer that instead he lay back on the gurney and closed his eyes again, knowing when he was defeated.

"Very well then."

"We have a problem."

All heads in the room turned to see Duo, his face a mask of anger, standing in the doorway.

"What is Duo?" Hiiro asked quickly.

"He aint' waking up this time."
