Chapter 5

Heero sat across the table from Mark Star. Star, as it turned out, had not thought the threat was real till it happened. Star finished up telling him about how they edited all the towns' people's files and covered up what happened. Heero asked for all the information about the family of . He got the only copy which he picked up and walked out of the room. Something about the whole thing sounded odd and Heero felt like he knew more about it then he should. Heero had Sally drive him to the morgue, where he sat with the three bodies, reading the files. He came across the file on Rosen Morhen. He opened it and looked at the picture of her. "So her name is Rosen?" he said out loud. As he read on, he found out she had disappeared shortly after the town was destroyed. He read how her brother and sister in-law and nephew died; they were killed similar to the way Wufei, Trowa and Duo died. He stopped reading and looked up at the three small Gundams on the table.

~flash back~

Heero stepped out of the building. He looked down at himself, the sun hit the blood that stained his clothing.

"Hey is that your blood?" someone asked him. He shook his head 'no'. Heero just stood there, not knowing what to do. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at a female officer.

"Hey kid a girl told me to give this to you." She said handing him a little Gundam. Heero took it and his hand shook. He stood there holding it. Flashes of Quatre, Duo, Wufei and Trowa played though his mind.

~end flashback~

' What is taking them so long to find Quatre?' Heero wondered as he looked at the others. He went back to reading more about Rosen. Unbeknownst to Heero Sally was sitting outside the door. She did not want Heero to keep looking into this girl. It all needed to stop, but she knew he would just leave and keep this up. And Sally was sure The Girl would not stop either. It seems that this is getting to be a dangerous game of who will get to the other first.

Quatre groaned as he woke up.

"Oh you are waking up." someone said

"Where am I?" Quatre asked

"You are at…." He cut her off

"Why can't I see?!" he asked reaching up to his eyes.

"Don't! Let me." she said pulling his hands down and started to take off the bandages. "When we found you, you had said that your eye hurt." He remembered that. "After I gave you a sedative; I looked at your eye. Due to the way the blood rushed into it and around it, a blood clout formed." As she went on explaining what happened she took off the last bandage. Quatre opened his eyes and looked to where the voice was coming from. What he saw was a women but it looked like someone had covered his left eye. "I am sorry Mr. Winner but we could not save your eye." Quatre's heart beat faster as she handed him a mirror. He looked at his reflection. "We were going to wait and see what you wanted us to do about it, we could sow it up or get you a glass eye."

"No, I will just wear a patch over it. Or something along those lines." He looked at her. "Can I have a phone?"

"If you wish." The women got up and left the room. Quatre looked back at the mirror.

"That's going to take some getting used to. Duo is going to have a field day and lot of new jokes to go with this." He laughed to himself. The nurse came back into the room with a phone but she was talking into it.

"Here it's for you." She said then exiting the room again. Quatre held the phone up to his left side but then thought it would be better to put it on his right side.

"Hello?" he said into the phone.

"Quatre? Is that really you?" Sally asked. Quatre smiled into the phone.

"Yes it's me." he said. Then he heard Sally crying.

"She told us you were dead." Quatre felt his heart beat increase again.

"She?... That girl? You have talked to her?"

"Yes I have seen her and heard her talk. But Quatre there are some things I need to tell you." Quatre did not like the way she said that. "Quatre I need you to stay calm." Quatre's eye filled with tears as Sally spoke he clenched a hand to his chest. He screamed a cry of pain.

Sally heard Quatre scream on the other side of the line. She hung her head and had to take deep breathes. She walked to Heero's room, not hanging up the phone. She knocked on the door. No answer. She sighed and opened the door,

"Heero.." She said stepping into the room, but gasped as she looked around the empty room. Heero was nowhere to be found. "Shit. Where did he go?" she asked out loud. "Maybe he went to the morgue." With that said she headed off to the morgue. By the time she got there one of the nurses hung up the phone. Sally walked fast down the hall and soon found Heero walking for the door. "Heero."
she said. But he just walked past her. "Heero, I.." she started to say but he just looked back at her.

"Don't try to stop Me." he said then walked back out the door.

"But Quatre is…." She tried to tell him but he was gone. She pulled her phone out "Bring Quatre here, Now!"

The Girl sighed "only one more to go." She looked back at the open file on her computer screen "and it seems that he might be hard to kill… how am I going to kill him?" she asked herself as she laid back on the bed next to her. "I think I am going to have to wait till I find a way." She said again sighing and closing her eyes.

Two weeks later.

The girl sat on the roof of the building two buildings away from the one where Heero stood scanning the building. She had him in her sniper scope. "Turn so I can see your face when I shoot a hole in your chest." she said adjusting her arm. A slight wind hit Heero as he looked through binoculars. Over the past two weeks he and Rosen had been playing a game of cat and mouse, switching rolls and now they both were the cat. He had called her by Rosen every time they met face to face.

~flashback~

Heero rolled out of his hiding place coming face to face with Rosen. Both had their guns pointing at each other.

"Guess I will see you in hell." Rosen said and the both pulled the trigger. But both guns were out of bullets. Rosen started to laugh and then back handed Heero and started to run. But Heero grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back.

"Rosen." He said and she tried to pull herself free from him.

"Don't call me that!" she screamed. Heero had found out that she was not good at hand to hand combat. They struggled but soon Heero pined her, his knee on her back. "Are you going to kill me now?" Rosen asked "and how are you going to do it? Strangle me? Break my neck?"

"Shut up." Heero said. He did not know what he was going to do. When he thought of killing her he was going to shoot her, but now he was not sure.

"Make up your mind quick, I am getting board of just sitting here." Rosen said Heero looked down at her, as soon as he was close enough she threw her head back and head butted him. He fell off her and she went running. He followed but as he got outside she was gone.

~end flashback~

Heero knew she was watching him, but where? He looked at the next building.

"Come on just two more to the right." she whimpered to herself.

Quatre and Sally ran into the elevator

"The signal is on the roof?" Sally asked, Quatre nodded as he looked at the tracker.

"Man she really messed up on stealing a gun with tracer in it. Good for us though." Quatre said as they got closer to The Girl. The elevator stopped and they opened the door quietly. They saw The Girl lying on the roof with a sniper. Quatre looked to where she was facing.

Heero turned slowly to the next building, he spotted a shine then took a step back. The Girl smirked,

"Got ya now." She said and went to pull the trigger.

Quatre ran up behind her and hit her in the back of the head. Making her head hit the concrete of the roof.

"Not if I get you first bitch." Quatre said pointing his gun at her she turned around and almost had a heart attack.

"You.. You are dead!" she screamed at him.

"No, I am not. YOU did not kill me." he said. They stared at each other as Sally got the sniper.

Heero looked at the roof top. Staring at the blond.

Quatre looked at the other roof top. He saw Heero looking back. Quatre smiled. Heero pulled out his phone and called Sally. He watched as she gave it to Quatre, and then pushed the girl to the elevator where more officers handcuffed her.

"Hi Heero." Quatre said

"She told us you were dead."

"Why did you believe her?" Heero stopped to think about it.

"She had kidnapped Relena. Then she killed Relena and Duo. It seemed to be legitimate."

"I guess you are right. It must have been hard to see them both die in the same day, and everyone else."

"Have you seen them?"

"No. I wanted to wait and go with you I don't think I could go on my own." As soon as Heero heard that, he started walking. "Where are you going?"

"To the building you are at. Stay on the phone."

"Why?"

"So I can make sure you don't disappear." Heero said already in the elevator down.

"Ha ha alright then." Quatre said heading down also. "So when I see you which one are we going to do an awkward guy hug or a handshake?" Quatre asked with a laugh.

"How about a little bit of both?" Heero said

"That could work." Quatre laughed.

The next day.

Heero walked beside Quatre as they walked down the morgue's hallway.

"They are over here." Heero said opening the doors and pulling them out. Quatre stared at them.

"Hey Heero could you tell me how they died?" Quatre asked. Heero nodded and got chairs for them to sit in. Then Heero told the stories of how their good friends, brothers in all but blood, died. After Heero finished Quatre got up and placed his mini Gundam he had brought, with the others. "I wonder where yours is." He said to Heero.

"I'd rather not know."

"Hey Quatre, Heero." Sally said from the doorway. "The Girl wants to see the two of you."

"Her name is Rosen Morhen." Heero said handing Sally her file as he walked out of the room. Quatre followed him. As they got to where Rosen was being held she said.

"Hey boys."

"You wanted to see us."

"I don't remember requesting that. But since you are here," she looked at Quatre "How did you live? I beat you so bad I had to get medical attention for my fists."

"You are not the first person to try to kill me that way."

"But the way I left you, your head should have exploded." Quatre glared at her.

"Rosen, we know why you did this. And they are sending you to a mental hospital where you will be treated." Heero said and Rosen rolled her eyes

"Oh good I am going to be a lab rat. But the thing is I am not crazy.."

"That's what crazy people say." Rosen glared at Quatre.

"Killing 52 people is not what sane people do." Quatre said trying not to glare at her. She gasped.

"Only 52! With the circus it has to be over 60!" she shouted. Heero shook his head.

"You did not kill everyone at the circus." Rosen was shaking with anger.

"I did kill that one lady didn't I?"

"The only people you killed there were two men."

"AHHHHH!" she stood up and hit against the bars of her cell.

"We are ready to move her." Sally said. They all nodded. Heero and Quatre started to walk away as someone opened the cell door. As soon as they opened the door before they could put handcuffs on her she pushed the door into an officer's face. Then ran at Heero when she was five feet from him he turned around. She was about to punch him but three gunshots went off hitting Rosen in the lower back, left shoulder, and right side. She blinked and fell to the ground. She landed on her back and looked at the ceiling blood ran down the side of her face from her mouth. Heero kneeled down next to her. She reached out and grabbed his hand and pulled him down as she said

"I did not know dying hurt this bad."

"Now you know how Duo, Wufei, and Trowa felt when you killed them." He said coldly. Her grip tightened.

"Liar. Duo died as soon as the bullet hit him." she said. "Oh after I die look in the bag I had. There is something in there that is for you."

Quatre looked at Rosen with mixed feelings. Sally watched with relief. Heero just watched as Rosen died. He then got up and went to her bag where he found His Gundam. He held it out to show Quatre.

"I guess that's my answer." Quatre said.

Sometime later.

Heero placed his mini Gundam with the others. The five Gundams were put together once more. "I guess that's how you get to five."
