Chapter 15 Puzzle pieces

Luna held out her hand to A.D., "Your hungry, right?" A.D. nodded her head. Luna looked at them, "If you want to come, fine by me." She turned her attention back to A.D. when she took Luna's hand.

By now the whole base had heard of what happened to A.D., a few tried to take over, but they were squished, literally. But most remembered their places, the two moon children were protecting her and so were her two commanding officers, so most knew they didn't stand a chance. And everytime Ellen's grilled them about her ware abouts, they all denighed it. After all they didn't feel like having to answer the four people who would come after them.

Luna sat A.D. down with a tray, A.D. barely knew how to function, let alone how to do anything herself. Luna knew when she regained her memories there would be hell to pay. Luna just figured that she would enjoy this quiet and polite girl for the time being. Because she knew all to soon, at any time, A.D.'s memories would come flooding back and she'd be ten times as worse. Now that sent a shiver down Luna's spine.

A.D. didn't know that Luna had picked those foods out for her, because they were her favorite. Luna chuckled to herself, one way to tempt her to eat, give her her favorite foods. Everyone had learned that when A.D. went on the war path, she forgot to do two things, eat and sleep. So it was no surprise when Rio slipped something into her drink. Sure she got pissed, but she wasn't working herself to death. And than offering her food that she would actually eat so she wouldn't starve to death.

'Luna.'

'Grande don't start with me!'

'We need you to bring Rerlena and the others to the bridge.'

'Do I even want to ask why?'

'Luna don't get snippity.'

'If I want to get snippity than I will! I'll be the one restraining Boss while you bone heads run for your lives.'

'Boss won't kill us.'

'Just keep thinking that when she's strangling the life out of you.'

'Look get the others and come to the bridge. There's someone threatening a senator.'

"RM related?'

'Don't know. we're hoping you can see past all of the bull shit.'

'In other words tap minds.'

'See what their really thinking. After all boss has proved thoughts can be video recorded.'

'You just have to look at the angles.'

'Yup.'

'You know that's highly illegal, right?'

'And since when has that ever stopped Boss?'

'Good point. Fine. I'll be there.' Luna put down her spoon and looked at A.D. "The two idiots who keep tempting fate want us on the bridge." She looked at the others, "Their expecting you to come as well."

Luna stood next to Butch, "What's the threat?"

"They want Senetor Ganaza dead."

"Who and why?"

"We're still figuring that out." Butch brought up a picture of the senetor and his wife. A.D. cocked her head to the side, "Mama? Papa?" Every head snapped to her. Rio looked at her, "A.D.? what are you saying?" A.D. looked at them, "Mama and papa."

"A. year is it?"

"A.C. 186."

"What did your father do?"

"He used to be a pastifice for America."

"What was your mother?"

"She never said."

"Where do you think you are at?"

"Somewhere in Moscow."

"When was your mother born?"

"I don't know."

"Who are your grandparents?" A.D. shrugged, "I don't know." Butch looked at him, "What are you getting at?" Rio looked at him, "Doesn't his wife look familiar."

"How? He was just elected a few months ago."

"Which is why we've never seen him, nor has A.D.. She's been too busy doing other things to pay attention to this."

"So?"

"What happens if A.D.'s parents are alive?"

"She said they were killed when their house collapsed."

"What happens if they escapsed. A.D. never said she found bodies."

"Wouldn't they have tried to contact her?"

"Would you want to contact a one way wreaking ball that has a tendency to smash in head or decaptiate people if they were your missing child?"

"Good point."

"There's only one way."

"How?"

"Bring up something he signed."

"Why?"

"Just do it." He exited the bridge. Luna crossed her arms, "What happens if it turns out that her parents are really alive?"

"A.D. comes to a realization that she's been minipulated the whole time and goes a wall."

Rio knew he was going over the thin white line. Nothing set A.D. off faster than having her stuff touched or her room being gone through. He reached under her matress, coming into contact with something warn. He withdrew his hand, and flipped to the front page, signature was in Russian. Than he looked on her shelf. In clear letters written in gold said Bible. He placed the Russian one back under her bed and went over to the book shielf picking it up and openeing it. In a very neat and proper signature Charles Exaviar Death. Bingo. Now to find the locket

Luna has sat A.D. on her chair. Apparently she was remembering some things, but not how overly violent and controlling she could be at times. Luna just gave an exasperated sigh, this was fun, not. The door slid open and Rio entered holding up the Bible. Butch cocked an eyebrow, "Where's A.D.'s old Bible?"

"The name was in Russian. This one however is in English." He opened it up and compared the signatures. He handed it over to Butch, "What do you think?"

"Besides the different names, the signatures look almost exactly the same."

"Exactly."

"Now look at this." He tossed the locket to Butch, "You know she'll really come after us?"

"Just open it." Butch reluctantly opened it, and his normally schooled features held nothing more than shock, "This is..."

"Missing Primeminister Charles Death." He rounded to Relena, "Tell us what you know about him." She shook her head, "I've never met him. But rumors were going around."

"About?"

"How he was Charles Exavior Death and his wife was Moscovia." Than something clicked in his head, "Bring up the pictures of the Tzar family." Butch looked at him, "What are you getting at?"

"In school we learned about royal families, how they came to be and how they fell. Doesn't Charles wife look a lot like the Princess of Russia that fell in A.C.178? And think about the timing."

"Please don't imply that our one way wrecking ball is some how..." He couldn't finish that sentence. A picture came up of the old Tzar family. Almost everyone in the room gasped, "Oh my god! The princess looks-"

"Exactly like A.D.." Shivers ran up everyone's spine. A.D. just sat there clueless. Duo said, "She's royalty? That crack pot has even more power?" A.D. looked at him and glared, "Who are you calling a crack pot Maxwell?" The tone was dangerous and threatening. A.D. suddenly put her hands over her mouth and looked horrified. Luna looked at her, "A.D.? Are you remembering anything else?" A.D. took her hands away from her mouth,"Other than he's annoying the shit out of me." She replanted her hands over her mouth looking horrified. Rio sighed, he looked at Luna, "We're doing Plan B." Luna cocked an eyebrow, "She's remembering."

"Yes. But to slow. One Eye could come at any time and than we'd be really screwed."

"I could easily deal with her."

"How do you know her mind isn't full of traps? If we lost you Luna, Eclipse would be useless." Suddenly he found himself on the ground looking up at a not happy Eclipse. Luna couldn't stop them, if they were in that much of a hurry to die, than so be it. "Fine do what you wish." Rio held out his hand to A.D., "I have something to show you."
