Chapter Seven

"Should we tell her?" Duo asked, pacing back and forth in the Preventer computer room. Heero was still sitting at the computer, mouth gawking at the screen still. "No, we can't tell her. I think we should, but what would this do to her? I don't know what to do! I was never expecting this."

"Duo…" Heero finally spoke, annoyed.

"What will she say!?" Duo yelled suddenly, fisting his hair.

"I can tell her. You should go home and get some sleep. It's been a long day for you. I can handle this. It's not what we were looking for, but it is something that may work to our advantage."

Duo exhaled deeply, trying to calm down, "If you think so."

Heero stood from the computer, shutting it down finally and walked out of the room with his comrade. Duo continued to talk, worrying himself about the outcome of the situation now. Heero hadn't paid him any attention to him until they made it out onto the streets of Brussels. That's when Duo's silence rang loudest over Heero's ears.

The pair had stopped walking suddenly and faced Tony. The politician waved at them in a friendly manner, but he didn't smile. He strode over to them quickly with determination.

"I was hoping someone would be here. Relena's always talking about how busy the Preventers are, so I thought for sure that someone would be here tonight." Tony said conversationally, still not smiling his award winning grin.

"What can we do for you, Mr. Samoz?" Heero said bluntly, not in the mood to look at him longer than he had to. His computer screen was still burning across his retinas.

"Well, I think I've had a security breech. I was working late tonight, and for a moment there, I thought I had lost control of the computer for a moment; as if someone had hacked in or something." Tony shrugged, as if that sort of thing happened all the time.

"We'll take a look at it first thing in the morning. If you have anything on your computer you don't want us to see, you better get rid of it." Heero said menacingly, but with the authority of a Preventer.

Tony smiled suddenly, nodding his approval, "Thank you very much, Mr…"

"Yuy."

"Yuy, yes! Heero Yuy, the infamous politician. I remember your name now. Are you not watching Relena tonight, Mr. Yuy?"

"She has two other guards tonight in my absence. Don't worry about the safety of your fiancé, Mr. Samoz. I have her best interests at heart." Heero tried to sound threatening, but was sure he continued to sound monotone. Duo tensed, which meant the American heard the slight change.

"Yes, of course. She always speaks so fondly of the Preventers." Tony nodded again, walking away now.

As soon as he was out of earshot, Duo let out a low whistle and chuckled nervously, "Man, that was so hard not to punch him in the face."

"I know what you mean, but mine wouldn't have stopped at the face."

Duo laughed loudly, causing passersby to stop and stare for a moment. The two pilots walked off, feeling slightly better with knowing what to do. It was almost like the opportunity landed in their laps. Heero walked Duo to his hotel, silently planning the entire morning out and how to provide evidence to Relena.

"I think I'll ask Hilde to come to Earth and celebrate with us. She and I have been waiting for the day you and Relena get married. We're one step closer now, buddy!"

Heero let himself smile slightly, encouraged by his friend's enthusiasm and support.

Heero didn't say a word to Relena about what he had found the night before. She went to work without question; her mind preoccupied with treaties and meetings. Heero went to work with her, not saying a word, but separated from her as she went up to her floor. He, as promised, went to Tony's office. Relena had a knack of arriving early to work no more than a half hour early every day. Now, Heero was sitting behind Tony's desk, powering on the screen and getting anxious. He had to get all of the information that he could from the computer and into the Preventer's files. He had to expose this evil man that was sitting behind the desk. He had to stop him from marrying Relena and had to stop him from gaining any more power. The computer hummed and the screen turned on. Heero inserted a disc and began to type the codes as fervently as he could.

"Ah! Mr. Yuy, glad you remembered." Tony said suddenly, entering his office. He smiled and closed the door behind him.

"Almost done with the security scan," Heero said, straightening his back.

"I thank you. I'll tell Relena that I approve of her security team. Perhaps we can raise the wages once every minister hires the lot of you?" Tony chuckled, trying to sound more influential than he was. Heero knew the difference. He had no say in any of it. Heero nodded politely, trying not to give the paranoid politician any more reasons to distrust him.

As soon as the disc was done and had ejected, Heero took it, swiftly stuffing it into his pocket. He stood and said, "I ran a scan on your computer. I couldn't find any traces of a breech."

"Thank you, thank you." Tony said, flipping through the files sitting atop the desk.

Heero left without another word, closing the door behind him and returned to Relena's office.

That night, Hilde had arrived with the same amount of jubilee of Duo. In honor of the end of Relena's engagement, the four of them decided to go out. Relena was wrapped in a disguise, wearing a black wig and more makeup than she was comfortable with. Heero had dressed down, finally peeling himself out of his work attire. The night's air was full of freedom.

The bar was packed full of people; body heat and sweat mingling in to the buzzing of the music. Relena finally felt as if she wasn't someone with power. She felt as if her life were normal. She felt like she was just another one of the girls that was dancing her life away. Relena and Heero danced closely together, letting all of the tension of their everyday lives lose. Heero tried to seem more lax like Duo and Hilde, but the disc of Tony's files was still pressing against his chest. He had to keep it close and safe; not wanting anything to get out before he was prepared. Also, Commander Une had gone away for a few days. He wouldn't give it anyone other than her. But, with the weight of the disc on him, he tried to celebrate their hidden victory. He tried to let the soldier persona go and be a normal guy.

Duo bought them several rounds of drinks, all toasting to random, unrelated things in their lives. By two in the morning, all of them were leaning on one another and trying to make it safely to their homes or hotels. However, as the taxi pulled up to take Relena and Heero home, Duo bent over and puked, spraying Hilde's shoes. She didn't mind, laughing hysterically, but incapable of holding her love's weight anymore.

Heero decided to help them back to the hotel. Relena left in the taxi alone, but Heero wasn't worried about her safety. She was still in disguise, and no one knew that the two story home in the main street was owned by her. The public assumed she lived in the palace, but most of the time it was vacant. Heero kissed the top of Relena's head as she slumped into the taxi and lifted Duo's arm around his shoulders.

As soon as the three of them made it back into the hotel, Heero sent a text to see if she had made it home. With the start of those texts turned into something that sobriety had told them not to do.

However, intoxication made them lose any inhibitions and their first time sexting began.

LOL! I'll tell you what they found next chapter.
