Chapter 3
Mid Afternoon…
"You wanted to see me Colonel," Wufei said as he entered the room.
"Yes Wufei, The United Kingdom's foreign relations officer for the L1 area is reportedly missing. Local authorities found her purse at the scene of an attack that hospitalized Heero Yuy," Colonel Une began. "Mr. Yuy was released into the care of an unknown party just before noon today. The Preventers were asked to be the lead organization in the investigation due to the possibility that there are terrorist forces behind this."

The sun was hovering above the west horizon when a young man with a long braid knocked on the Hellsing manor door. He waited a bit before he herd the sound of steady foot steps on the other side. Walter opened the door and motioned for the young man to come in.
"Ah… Mr. Maxwell, right this way please. Senior Officer Victoria will provide the answers to any questions you might have as to why you're here," Walter stated in his usual tone, guiding Duo to the basement.
Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, Walter gasped in shock. There were two vampires in Seras's room and one of them was not Alucard. "Miss Victoria, I was not informed that you had company," Walter said aster recovering from the surprise of the new vampire.
"You're not the only one," Seras stated while rolling her ruby eyes, "Master wants to surprise sir Integra with her, so this is kind of a secret for right now"
"If secrets are a big thing here, I'm the wrong guy 'cause I'll end up blabbing to someone sooner or later," Duo mused not seeing who the 'her' that Seras referred to was.
"Duo," the visitor called out.
"Relena, what are you doing here? Where is Heero?" Duo questioned in surprise.
"I really didn't have much of a choice in coming here, and I don't know what happened to Heero last night."
Duo looked puzzled.
"Seras can fill you in on the details," Relena stated, annoyed by the fact that Duo hadn't noticed the change in eye color.
"Well you better have some answers 'cause I am really confused as to everything that is going on here."
After a good half-hour of explaining by both Seras and Walter, Duo finally got a grasp of the situation.
"Well Shinigami you discovered my surprise for Sir Integra," Alucard mused as he came through the wall.
"Yeah, I did, and dude you have one twisted sense of humor" Duo replied.
"You must have a death wish, Human, dressing as one of Iscariot's dogs and coming here and communing with vampires," Alucard spat drawing his jackal.
"Yeah, I must. I'm beginning to think that taking Zechs up on his offer on being Shinigami for this organization is a mistake. Hey Grandpa you want the job of being Shinigami." Duo reflected.
"I've served as this organization's Shinigami for more than sixty years," Walter responded to Duo's comment.
"Duo, please don't tell anyone about my change, especially my brother or Heero," Relena implored.
"I got to tell Zechs, 'cause you know he will kill me if he finds out that I knew about this and didn't, but if you promise not to bite me, I won't tell a sole"
Relena gave Duo a small peck on the cheek and said "Thank you."
"Now that we got that matter out of the way may I present you with your weapons? Mr. Maxwell, I present to you the Hellsing Heavy Chain Scythe. Two meters tall with a baptized silver blade attached to a four meter chain. I also give you the Hellsing Jackal Mini, a smaller version of the gun Alucard drew," Walter explained placing the weapons on the table, "Ms. Darlin, I'll see to your accommodations here."
"Thanks, Walter. I'd better find Zechs and tell him before I forget." Duo said, taking his weapons and heading up the stairs.
"Is there any particular reason why I can not return to my home once it is dark?" Relena asked.
"It is in your best interests that you stay." Walter stated dryly.
"What do you mean 'best interests'?" Relena inquired.
"There are organizations that hunt our kind; with out the protection of the Hellsing Organization you would become easy prey for them, Dove." Alucard rebuked.
"There will be a nice new weapon for you when you wakeup tomorrow too." Walter added as he left.
Before Relena could protest this last statement Alucard stated, "At times it will be necessary for you to defend yourself and you are now a member of the Hellsing Organization tasked with the termination of other vampires. You will be helping prevent others from facing the same fate that you received."

Duo Knocked on Milliardo's door before entering. Milliardo waved him in.
"Yes I understand…not since this weekend…I'll forward anything I get to you. You will keep me updated…ok thank you…bye," Duo heard catching the tail end of Milliardo's phone conversation.
"Duo, have you heard from Relena or Heero at all this week, apparently they're both missing?" Milliardo Questioned
"As a matter of fact I saw Relena today," Duo said nervously.
"How was she?" Milliardo demanded to know.
"She's OK, but is adjusting to a major change," Duo said, easing Milliardo into the news, "She's in the basement if you want to talk to her."
"In the basement of where?" Milliardo continued to interrogate Duo.
"Here" Duo Gulped
"Do you know what is in the basement here!" Milliardo yelled
"Yes, and Relena is one of them." Duo confessed.
"Are you saying that my sister is a vampire! When did this happen! How long have you known!" Milliardo continued.
"To answer your questions: yes, last night, just found out," Duo said regaining some of his confidence.
"Your lucky I have to leave in five minuets, otherwise …," Milliardo didn't have to finish because Duo did it for him.
"I know, I know, you were going to strangle me with my braid, right?"
Not a bad Idea Milliardo thought. "No I had something more painful in mind; you were going to have to be the one to tell Sir Integra about this," Zechs Corrected

Midnight…
In Rome near the border of the Vatican a gunshot rang out, and a ghoul fell and turned to dust. Two more gunshots two more gunshots, another felled ghoul, the Young man showed considerable skill, more so than the rest of section 13.
"Ye are doing very well, Brother Heero," The Paladin said
"These ghouls are less trouble than mobile dolls." Heero Retorted.
"Well ye soon will be ready to take on the foul daemons that turn the innocent into ghouls," Father Anderson exhorted.
