Trowa tried to calm Ami while she sat huddled in his arms crying over something that he and she alike and thought would never happen.

The almost silent hall was littered with the guys holding up one of the girls, all who had become very special to them. Lita paced waiting for word from Duo who had promised to find Heero, where the whole problem in could in fact be traced.

Consciously she knew that he wasn't to blame, it was just a male chauvinistic didn't- know-he-was-in-love until he thought it was not there any more reaction that had caused him to disappear. Not that she really thought he was in love but that was beside the point. Sub consciously was a totally different matter. Her other half was very blood thirsty she had found out. Her methods of torture ranged from simple pushing him off a cliff to cutting off his genitalia with a rusty hedge cutter. And she was still thinking of new and exciting ways to hurt him like he had hurt Usagi.

It was because of him she had raced when everyone else knew that for the first time ever she shouldn't have. That she was so exhausted waiting for news of him, that he was safe that she hadn't slept in over four days. But still it came as a big shock when she crashed into the side of the downtown clothes factory "Chungs".

Walking by the room that held her friend, she watched as the nurse yet again took more bloods and injected her with something that was supposed to ease the pain and leaning back against the wall so that she could be there if Usagi opened her eyes again. Usagi was her best friend, what was she supposed to do if anything happened to her? Tears slowly trickled down the side of her face as she tired to remain strong. But nobody noticed the tall brunette, to caught in their own misery to notice.

They all stood united when they spotted the doctor who had operated on Usagi squeak his way down the corridor.

Wiping the sweat from his brow and removing the facemask that had until now he had not realised he had still been wearing, he looked into the faces of some very worried women and men alike.

Breathing in, he called upon his training to try and inject some hope in his voice. "Your friend is very lucky. Her right arm is broken, she has a nasty gash on her head, and while operating we had to remove one of her kidneys to stop the internal bleeding" Shock registered on their faces at this news, when they had come in with her they had hoped she would be out the same night. "We have put her in a induced coma for now to reduce the chances of Brain damage and to speed up the healing process. She looks bad now but be prepared, it may take some time for her to heal." Sometimes it was good to be a doctor, when he saw the relieved looks on their faces, holding up a hand to forestall the question every one asked in this situation, he said "At the moment, only one person can go in to see her. And you may only stay for five minutes." Holding out his hand, he shook the hand of a tall guy who was standing or appeared to be holding a small woman with very weird blue hair. Smiling in gratitude they watched as the doctor once again turned and headed down to get something to eat.

Hugging Trowa in happiness, Ami turned to Rei and Mina who where hugging Wu fei in their happiness. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, "So, who wants to go in?"

Silently they thought, weighing up who needed to go in the most. It was then, Ami noticed that Lita was on her own, starring in at Usagi like she had lost a best friend when in reality she had only nearly lost one.

Ami knew who she wanted to go in, Turning to Mina and Rei, she spoke low "I think Lita should go in. She appears to be the most shook by this." Gesturing, she pointed their gazes down to where she leaned against the wall.

Nodding they agreed.

Grabbing Mina's hand, Ami walked down to Lita. Looking in through the window for a minute, she turned to Lita "The doctor said it was alright if one of us went in for five minutes. We want you to go in!"

Lita's head whipped around in surprise. Starring down into Ami's face, Lita realise that they all felt the same for Usagi as she did. She was their best friend, what had joined them together and they where all afraid without her, they would have no one.

Smiling wobbly, trying to hold back the tears, she nodded her head unable to speak.

Using her fists to scrub the tears away, she raised her chin and calmly walked into the room.

Looking down on to her friends face, she felt the tears come back again. Usagi didn't look the same. Her face was drained of colour and her hair had been cut shorter to facilitate the surgery. Pipes came from her mouth and one was attached to her nose. Her arm was black from the nurses trying to find a vein to put the drip into.

Even at this, Lita had to smile. Even when she was unable to do anything, her body knew that it didn't like Needles and so by hell was it letting any touch it.

Brushing a piece of hair from her forehead, she leaned in and laid a gentle kiss on her brow, "Get better soon, my friend. We have a lot of work to do."

As she was walking out of the room, she turned suddenly when she heard a noise. Turning when nothing happened she heard it again but this time she knew who it was from. Even in induced sleep where she had nearly died, she called for him.

Pushing open the door, new resolve in her steps, she walked down to the girls.

Grimacing as she said it, "She wants Heero, and so if she wants him then by god she will get him if I have to hog tie him and drag him here by his little toes." Looking into the girl's eyes, she asked "So are you with me on this?"

"Hell yes," Ami answered.

"Like hell he is getting away," Rei replied, breaking from Wu Fei's comforting arms.

"I have just the contacts to find him." Mina replied. When everyone looked at her in surprise, she shrugged unapologetically, "When you get to be my age and the daughter of a famous army general, you learn a few things as well as finding a few contacts." Smiling a smirk that spoke of mischief.

Just then Ami's phone rang, flipping it she pushed it to her ear and answered "What?" knowing that it was someone from the garage.

Rei was the first to notice her going pale underneath her make up. Gesturing she tried to convey "Whats up?" in sign language but it wasn't one of her best languages. Unlike Mina and Usagi.

Closing the phone with a snap that spoke volumes of her anger and something else that no one could of yet define.

Pointing to the phone, Mina asked, "What was that about?"

Ami didn't answer immediately "Remember how when we started the car before the race we didn't think it sounded right. Turns out it wasn't right, that was Michel on the line. The break lines had been cut." Anger breaking through in her voice, it shook from emotion "Some little bastard cut the lines on my friends car." Her voice grew larger with every word until she was almost shouting "Some little frigging two timing son of a little bitch sabotaged Usagi race." The girls where slow in their reaction but once the full impact of what had happened sunk in they where true she devils. Even the guys slunk back in fear. But they too where angry. Sending a message on his phone to Duo informing him of what had happened, Trowa sent out a silent thank you for phones.

Watching from the sidelines as mina and Rei began to rave and plot what they would do to the saboteur once they found them, Lita finally realised what she had seen in Ami's eyes.

Pure sweet revenge like, murder.
