Une closed her eyes and sighed.
"Lady Une?"
Une opened her eyes and stopped rubbing her temples. "They're only thirteen, fourteen years old. Why did they do this to them? They're only kids," Une frowned and began to search in the pile of papers on her des. She found one and pulled it out. "Look! It says Heero killed his first man when he was eight, before the assassination chain started. It was just a man who J told Heero to kill, so he did. How could an eight year old kill a man so cold heartedly? And here," she pulled out another paper. "Duo Maxwell. You know that weapons building that blew up four years ago?" Lady Une's assistant nodded. "Well, Duo blew it up. Nine people died in that explosion! And Trowa Barton. Killed three citizens who saw him on one of his 'assignments', since they wuld have been witnesses. And Quatre Raberba. Always kills at night, when people are sleeping. All the bed assassinations we've seen were by him." Une shifted some more papers. "Wufei Chang. Slit the targets throat then three of the gaurds. No one ever saw them and lived to tell of it. But that's not the worst. The worst is that they're only kids!" Une pounded her fist on the table. "I can't send them to jail since they're too young and I can't send them to juvie since they're too dangerous. Ugh!" Une set her forehead on the desk in frustration.
"They don't deserve to be punished, Lady," her assistant, Jobe, spoke. She lifted her head. "I don't believe they understood that what they were doing was wrong. According to the files, the boys said they'd lived there all their lives, and that the only other human being, besides those they killed, were their mentors. Think about it. From what we know, they were never let outside their rooms unless it was to practice with their mentors or do an assignment. They were always locked in other times. They didn't have enough knowledge to understand what they were doing."
"Those bastards are sickening!" Une shouted. "I'm going to make sure they rot in jail. If not on the charge of being an assassination accomplice, then on the charge of child assault." She sat back down in her seat, having risen a few inches in her rage. Her face saddened as she read over another page. "Damn...J treated Heero like a lab rat! He pumped chemicals and drugs and a whole bunch of shit into his blood until he was immune. It says he's immune to pain and drugging...it says he's immune to emotions! Why the hell is he immune to emotion?"
"Most likely to better prepare him for the 'assignments'," Jobe suggested. "That's most likely why Heero doesn't know murder is wrong."
"Any killing is wrong," Une muttered, still reading. She suddenly choked on a small cry as she bit her lip to keep from tearing. "It says that Quatre had never seen light..."
"According to the boy himself," Jobe confirmed. "He says he has never seen sunlight, which is why he dresses as he does, entirely in black. In case any light or sunlight touches him, he is protected. I think he believes it will hurt him."
"Maybe he's allergic to sunlight...," Une pondered. "It's possible. But still...no sunlight...this case is turning out to be a horror!" Une sighed and began to massage her temples again. "Where are they right now?"
"They haven't removed them from their rooms, Lady. They're locked in."
"You locked them back up!" Une shouted. "What the hell were you thinking?"
"They are assassins, Lady," Jobe reminded her.
"They're human beings as well," Une snapped. "Get them out of there. I want them all in my meeting room in one hour, you hear? Go!" Jobe rushed off and Une relaxed into her chair, rubbing her eyes tiredly. What had been done to these boys? And how would they ever understand what they had done...? How would they ever get a normal life. Une frowned. She didn't know, but she was determined to give them one.
