One is never prepared when something is thrust in front of their eyes, but Officer Heero Yuy had a double whammy when the object was a photo of a SERIOUSLY sexy blonde male. Which was just his type.
He vaguely recalled another blonde, large and angry, moments before this stunning vision appeared before him and he thought the guy might still be talking, but daaaammmnnn. The picture wasi viciously torn away. Heero growled and glared.
"Are you even listening?!"
"No." Where the hell was Wufei?
"My FIANCE is missing!" He waved the photo just out of reach. "He is somewhere out in that forest and I demand you find him!"
"We'll need the photo for evidence." Heero was quick to lean across the front counter, grab it, and tuck it into his jacket pocket (close to his heart).
"Evidence? There's no crime, he's just lost!"
"There's no way of knowing that without a body."
"What!?"
"What was your friend's name again?"
Now the blonde growled. "Quatre! Quatre Winner and I am his husband to be, Milliardo!"
A third voice chimed in and a box was dropped between the two males. "Next time, Yuy, get your own donuts. That shop owner is more than I can bear."
Milliardo was dumbstruck. The man that entered was beautiful. Heero smirked. "Officer Chang. This person is filing a missing persons report. Can you take his statement while I check with our forest friend?"
Chang Wufei eyed him suspiciously but waved Milliardo into his office. As soon as they entered and Wufei was seated behind his desk, the blonde slowly closed the door while staring intently at the officer.
Wufei's suspicion grew and he cursed his partner. Yuy... I will get my revenge if I end up getting annoyed. When Milliardo half lunged across the desk to grab his hand with a forlorn look on his face, Wufei was already planning nine ways to torture Heero. "Let's start with your name."
"Milliardo Peacecraft of the Peacecraft Foundation, Lord of the Peacecraft Estate, and enchanted by your eyes."
Ten. Wufei firmly pulled his hand back. "Mr. Peacecraft," he spoke fast to keep the other from interrupting, "we take missing persons very seriously around here. If you are not interested in finding them, we are."
"Of course, please forgive me. Your beauty stunned me and I forgot all else."
"My 'beauty' will in no way help you find who you are looking for."
Milliardo smirked, "on the contrary..."
"Name of missing person," Wufei barked.
"Quatre Winner," he tried to lean even further across the desk.
Wufei refused to let his proximity affect him. "Relationship?"
"Friend."
Wufei raised an eyebrow. The caterwauling he heard when he arrived belied that statement. "Friend," he clarified.
"Technically, we are arranged to be married as he is also the Lord of the Winner Estate, but it is merely a business arrangement. His sisters look to me for his safety and I warned him not to take this trip but alas... And now his sisters are deeply worried. I barely know him."
"How long has he been missing?"
"He was supposed to meet me at his hotel three hours ago."
Dammit, Heero.
Heero pulled out the picture of Winner as soon as his problem closed the door to Chang's office. Even through the door, he could hear the conversation and he let a pleased grin loose at the turn of these tides. Sexy is suddenly single!
Oh yes, this was good. He could swoop in as the savior and reap the benefits of gratitude. His grin grew as he made his way to the Comm room. It could be awhile before Trowa heard his call so it was good he had something to occupy his mind.
"W-I-N-G-0-1 to A-R-M-S-0-3, do you copy?"
What the hell did Yuy want?
"W-I-N-G-0-1 to A-R-M-S-0-3, do you read me?"
"I copy you, Wing Zero One, over."
"Barton, we have report of a missing person, likely in your area, blonde, blue-green eyes, white male, around five eleven, slender build. Any chance you've spotted him?"
"Negative, Yuy. Over."
"Do me a favor and radio in if he shows up on your doorstep. Copy?"
Hell no. "Copy."
Yuy cut the transmission and left the room to see how Chang was progressing. He smirked as he witnessed said officer standing and angrily laying into Milliardo, who was happily glowing from the attention. He went to pour a cup of coffee and the sound of heavy rain and wind brought his attention to the window.
Five minutes ago there was no precipitation, calm only. Now a storm rages right after he talks to Trowa?
Then all power was lost.
