Chapter 8

A/N: You know, don't own, just write. Kinda short, but important.

The meeting ran well into the night, close to midnight. As they were starting to put up the paperwork they had used, Mit cleared his throat.

"Uh, Quatre, where's your restroom?"

"It's down the hall, to the left." Quatre said with a grin.

Mit followed the directions and went into the bathroom. As he came out, he saw a familiar head of hair.

"No. There's no way." He said to himself.

He could not believe that Corrine is here. He had heard rumors that she had died in an attack. He didn't believe that she could have survived. He walked up to her and cleared his throat.

"Corrine?" He said quietly.

The woman visibly stiffened. She immediately recognized the voice, but couldn't believe what she heard. She had watched him die. She slowly turned and couldn't believe what she saw.

"Mit?! You're alive? It's impossible. I saw you die defending the hospital." She said in a shaken voice.

"I..uh… I survived. The beam blade barely missed the reactor, and I was able to eject as the Leo exploded."

What happened next surprised Mit. SLAAAPPPP! Corrine's hand jarred his jaw and made his head ring like a bell.

"DO you know what kind of Hell you put me through? I believed I watched you die, and all through the war had to deal with the loss of the man I loved, and you were still alive?" she screamed.

By this time, Quatre and Heero heard the commotion and came out to investigate. The scene they saw was almost like it was out of a soap opera.

SLLLAAAPPPP! She hit Mit again and turned to walk away.

"Corrine, wait." Mit followed Corrine upstairs calling her name.

Quatre and Heero were hot on his trail because they were headed towards Relena's room. As they rounded the corner next to the stair case, Heero picked up his pace to a near sprint. He had to keep her secret from Mit.

"Corrine, hang on a minute." Mit yelled after her.

"Leave me alone, Mr. Rath, I have to check on my patient, and you can't come in."

"I don't care. We need to talk." He said as he followed into the room.

"I thought you were…" Mit started to say as he saw who was lying in the bed.

"Vice-Foreign Minister?" He said in a dumbfounded voice.

It was at about that moment that he heard the hammer of a pistol cock behind him. He knew that sound too well. Sig Saur P226. It's the standard issue pistol for Preventer agents. Slowly, he turned around to see Heero pointing it at his face.

"Boss, what the hell is this?" He asked.

"Not for you to see." Heero replied coldly.
