Spooky: Yea! Another chapter! This one is for sweetangel4. Enjoy!

Fifteen minutes later Sally, the boys, and Veronica were in the conference room. It would have been quicker, but they had to disarm Veronica. She knew she wasn't completely defenseless, but it felt strange not to have her two swords, gun, or dagger. Now Sally was seated behind a desk and Veronica and Quatre were sitting in front of the desk the other boys were standing. Veronica's hands were cold from nervousness, though on the outside she was completely calm.

"So what's this mission about?" asked Heero.

Sally looked at Veronica suspiciously. "First I'd like to ask this young lady a few questions. Like what she's doing with a mobile suit, especially one as advanced as that."

Veronica looked at Sally calmly, but inside her heart was pounding. It wasn't like she could tell Sally about D.C. Corp. she probably wouldn't believe her. She wasn't sure what to say. She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't think of anything. Her mouth snapped shut. Luckily Quatre came to her rescue.

"We can trust her," said Quatre. "If this mission is what I think it's about then Veronica already knows about it."

"So all of you trust her?" asked Sally looking around the room. The boys nodded.

"Please Sally, you have to trust us. Trust her," pleaded Quatre.

Slowly Sally nodded. "Alright, if you all trust her." She turned to Quatre and Veronica. "I get the distinct feeling that the two of you know what this is about."

Quatre and Veronica looked at each other. Then Veronica turned to Sally. "It's D.C. Corp., isn't it?"

Sally's eyebrow went up. She sighed. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. We have reason to suspect that the owner of D.C. Corp., Valren McManus, is utilizing illegal activities to pump the E.S.U.N. of money. Not to mention there have been reports of threats and kidnapping all headed by Valren McManus."

Veronica resisted the urged to snort at the government's ignorance for the past 25 years. Sally turned to her apparently sensing something from her.

"If you have something to say, say it," said Sally.

Veronica squirmed in her seat. She really didn't want to tell her whole story over. "Well…I was just thinking about how the government could stay ignorant for 25 years."

Again Sally's eyebrow went up. "Would you mind telling me how you know it's been going on for 25 years?"

Veronica looked at Quatre.

"It's a long story," said Quatre. "Just give the details on the mission and if there's time we'll tell you."

Sally nodded. "Basically we need proof. We can't make any accusations until we have proof. That's what we need you to do. Get the proof in a non-violent way."

"Sounds easy enough," said Duo. "Can't we just sneak into their headquarters and take some files or something?"

"I'm afraid it isn't going to be that easy," said Sally. "That would be considered stealing. You'll have to confront him. That will be your job, Quatre. You've done business with him before, right?"

"Yes," said Quatre. "I've already cut off all business with D.C. Corp. he'll probably want to talk to me anyway."

Veronica rubbed the scar on her cheek. Wasn't that proof enough? Couldn't she testify against him? But honestly who would believe a teenage girl? It was her word against the owner of one of the most powerful companies on Earth and through the colonies. Suddenly a thought came to her. There was a possibility that they would have to go to the same complex her parents were being held. While they tried to get the proof she could free her parents. Hopefully nothing went wrong.

"Any idea where he is?" asked Trowa.

"Yes," said Sally. "I took the liberty of arranging a meeting in Quatre's name. He wants to meet you in their main office in the United States. In Denver Colorado."

Veronica's head snapped up. That was the same complex her parents were being held at.

Duo frowned. "Strange place to have your main office."

Sally nodded then turned to Quatre. "He agreed to let two other people go with you." She turned back to the other boys. "Two of you will go with him and the other two will stay in the car. Just in case something goes wrong."

"I think I'll take Heero and Trowa in. If you guys don't mind," said Quatre.

Smart choice, thought Veronica. It made sense. Duo had a big mouth and was likely to get them in trouble. Then there was Wufei. His temper often got the best of him. Heero and Trowa were most likely to stay quiet.

"Fine," said Wufei.

"That's fine with me as long as I get to drive," said Duo. "What are we driving anyway?"

"Standard dark blue suburban," answered Sally.

"Alright!" said Duo punching the air.

"When do we leave?" asked Heero.

"Early tomorrow morning," said Sally. "You should make it to Earth by late afternoon early evening. You'll be meeting Valren the next morning at 8 A.M." She paused. Then she turned to Veronica. "Now would you mind telling me how the two of you know so much?"

Veronica looked at Sally and then at Quatre. Quatre just shrugged. Great, he was leaving it up to her. She really didn't want to tell her story to anyone else. She wasn't even sure if it had been a good idea to tell the Gundam boys. But then on the other hand if she told Sally it could help them catch Valren. She took a deep breath and went for it.

An hour later Quatre and Veronica were at the apartment the Preventors had provided. The other boys were still at the Preventors' office. They were due back soon. Quatre was sitting on the couch going through some papers. Veronica was pacing back and forth. She wanted to go, she had to go. But she knew Quatre would object.

"Quatre?" she asked tentatively.

"Hmmm?" he said without looking up.

It's now or never, she thought. "I'm going with you guys."

Quatre's head snapped up in surprise. "No. We shouldn't risk it."

"Why not?" demanded Veronica. "That complex is the same one my parents are at!"

"And that's exactly why you shouldn't come," said Quatre going back to his paper work.

"But I have to free them. This could be my chance! If I don't free them now I might not get another chance for a long time. And by that time they could be dead!"

Quatre sighed. He knew she was right; he just didn't want her to get hurt. "Alright, you can come, but you have to promise to stay in the car."

"I can't promise that, 'cause if I see my parents or my brother outside the complex I'm gonna go get them."

"That's okay with me, I'll talk to the others about it. As long as you stay out of the building."

Veronica grunted and crossed her arms. "Fine." The she began pacing again.

She was thinking about what they were going to talk about to Valren and if they were going to talk to Bren or Valren. She wished she could go in. She wanted to see Valren's face when she walked in with three Gundam pilots ready to testify against him.

"Quatre?"

"Yes?"

"Ah, never mind."

You really want to go in, huh?"

Veronica nodded.

"Don't worry," said Quatre. "You'll be able to see and hear everything."

"How?" asked Veronica looking slightly confused.

"Me, Heero, and Trowa will be wearing pins with small cameras and microphones in them and the suburban has monitors in it so you guys will get to see and hear everything. Just in case something goes wrong."

Veronica sighed. "I guess that's better than nothing."

She plopped down on the couch that was across from Quatre. Her fingers drummed on the couch arm as she got lost in thought. She wondered how the meeting would go and if Valren or Bren thought anything was up. What if there were metal detectors? Or what if they did a search for things like microphones? Knowing Valren even if he knew the microphones were there he would probably let them go in anyway and then talk about something that would irk her.

Just then Duo came in. "Hey guys," he said cheerily.

"Hey," said Veronica.

From the table Quatre mumbled something that could've been 'hey'.

"Where are the others?" asked Veronica.

"They're still out in the car," said Duo motioning to the window. "We were wondering if you guys wanted to come with us to grab a bite to eat."

"Sounds good," said Veronica.

She looked over at Quatre. He nodded enthusiastically.

"Great! Let's go!" said Duo.
