"From now until I say, the four of you are officially not on duty. On the books, I'm ordering the four of you to take you holiday time, which you decide to spend together visiting the colonies, either to show each of you were you come from, to help Winner with something concerning his business, or just go out on a date somewhere." Lady Une told them once Trowa, Heero, and Wufei had entered her office and sat down in front of her desk as Quatre appeared on the screen, sharing a quick smile between the four lovers.

She was one of the few that knew that the four boys in front of her were in love with each other and that they loved Duo as well before he disappeared before they could tell him that.

"I do have business on the colonies that I have to check on, but I've been putting it off." Quatre said with a sheepish look.

"That isn't like you." Wufei said to his Arabic lover.

"I know. Something weird is going on, there are no clues to the problem, plus I wanted us to be completed before that happened." Quatre told them as they fell silent, knowing what he meant.

"So officially, you are dealing with Winner's business while taking time off for a vacation." Lady Une said after a moment.

"And unofficially?" Heero asked her which made her take a deep breath before handing the three in her office a folder and sent an email of the folder to Quatre; none of them opened the folders and just waited for her to speak, which made her smile again, she knew they would do that.

"An hour ago, I received intelligence of a gang running riot on L2. I do not know who sent it, but they knew too much about the war to sit comfortably with me. It was written in a code I recognized since I deal with Yuy and Chang daily and after I decoded it, I understood why." She said, the boys kept quiet and watched her and after a moment she went on to explain about the 'gang' and what they have been up to.

"Why now? Why not several years ago?" Wufei asked with a scowl on his face.

"Because of this." Lady Une said as she dropped the bomb on the four. Someone had put out an assassination contract on one Duo Maxwell.

"Oh Allah." Breathed Quatre as his aqua colored eyed widen in shock.

"This is off the record because of two things, the first is Maxwell's involvement and the second is the support this gang has with the moneyed people on L2." Lady Une told them.

"Mission accepted." Heero said as he, Wufei, and Trowa stood to leave.

"I'll be at the port closest to your position in forty to sixty minutes." Quatre said before he disappeared from the screen and the other three left her office.

She had noticed that Trowa did not look as shocked as the other three, could his twin sister, Lina, have warned him beforehand? It was possible, he will tell her eventually.

"Bring him home, bring him back to were he belongs." Lady Une said softly with a sigh after they left.

Once they were on the shuttle heading for L2 they looked at the file and wondered why the hit was taken out on him.

"What did you mean the four of us had something to do?" Heero asked their green-eyed lover, who sighed as Quatre looked at between the three of them confused.

"You did not look surprised when Lady Une told us about Maxwell." Wufei added.

"Lina forewarned me that Duo is in trouble. She said I had to get the 3 of you and go find Duo, she said he is dying." Trowa told them before he repeated what she said, word for word.

"What do you mean 'dying'?" Quatre asked.

"I'm not completely sure, but based on what Une told us, I think people have already tried to kill him. I believe his injuries are slowly killing him." Trowa answered as Heero and Wufei looked shocked as Quatre gasped in horror.

"Oh Allah, please let us get to him in time." Quatre prayed.

"Lina said he will survive, little one, we just have to find him, and fast." Trowa said as Quatre nodded as Trowa hugged him.

"Then Quatre, Wufei and I will hunt down those responsible for the hit on Duo and the gang while you look for Duo and get him here." Said Heero as they agreed.

Trowa wandered the streets of L2 looking everywhere he could and asking people if they had seen Duo recently and which way he went, eventually Trowa came to a set of ruins, he noticed a lot of people avoided the place. When he asked, he learned it was what was left of the 'Maxwell Church and Orphanage', it was the sight of the 'Maxwell Massacre' which gave birth to the 'Maxwell demon.'

Trowa searched the ruins and found a set of stairs that led down into the basement, which is where he found Duo.

"Oh god, Duo… I won't let you die on us; we love you. Please love, don't die. I need to get you stable so we can get you to a hospital on L4, Quatre's family can heal you." Trowa said as he did what he could before he carried him back to the shuttle, to wait for the others.

"Did you find him?" Heero asked Trowa when the three returned with 2 others.

"Yeah, and he is really bad." Trowa said, he had been pacing.

"Oh god…" Wufei said when he spotted Duo, Heero and Quatre gasped in shock at Duo's condition.

"Did you get them?" Trowa asked.

"These two helped with another person Duo knows. They rigged the place to explode with enough explosives to vaporize anyone in a 200mile radius when it went up." Wufei said.

"Duo, the twins and their friend who died in the explosion, were the reason I needed to check on my businesses here. It was their way of getting my attention." Quatre told him as he nodded.

"I wondered about the explosion." Trowa commented.

"These two have also been caring for Duo's injuries as best as they could." Heero added.

"We need to go now." Trowa said as he checked on Duo.

"Where to?" asked the female, they both had red hair and greyish green eyes, they looked to be about 15 years old.

"L4. My sister Iria is a doctor, she can help heal Duo." Quatre said as the twins nodded and the shuttle headed off.
