Chapter 2: The Assassination

A/N Sorry about not updating, I had a little trouble with my disc. R&R I'm Desperate!



" This is Ainsley Beccalyn reporting live from Vice Foreign Minister Dorlein's press conferance."

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

"It's chaos! Miss Dorlein has just been assassinated! I repeat the Vice foreign minister has just been assassinated!" The reporter on the television looked panicked and seemed at a lack of what to do.

"This is not good. This is very very bad," Duo whispered to himself as he turned off Quatre's T.V.

"Quatre!" Duo called up into the vast mansion. "Trowa! Wufei! You guys need to come down here! It's an emergency!" Amazingly, Duo's voice carried throughout the large estate. Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre came running down the stairs.

"What is it Duo?" Quatre asked breathlessly. The look Duo was giving them was not at all heartening.

Duo's face moved into a grim line, " Relena Dorlein Peacecraft has just been assassinated." The statement was completely deadpanned. The three men gasped collectively.

"Was it Heero?" Quatre asked mortified.

"I really don't know, Q-man. All I know, is that one minute I was watching the press conference and the next thing I know is that the reporter is saying Relena's been shot. It could've been Heero, we all know how much he hates her."

At that moment, both Wufei's and Trowa's preventer beepers started going off. "Well, guess we're getting called in," Trowa remarked wryly as all four of the men ran for the car. It looked like Quatre and Duo, even though they were not preventers, had decided to use their high-access satus as former gundam pilots to get into the scene and possibly find Heero.

Half an hour later when the guys reached the scene, the police had made little headway with the chaotic crowd. Wufei quickly climbed up on the hood of the car so every body could see him. He then proceded to create relative calmness by explaining to them that evrything would be fine and that Relena was already at the hospital and being treated by the best doctors available. The pilots were so immersed in calming the frightened citizens, they didn't notice the shadowy figure slip out of the crowd and sneak away.

Demyan rolled out of bed, and not a moment too soon. He could see the electrical currents effect on the mattress.

"Boy!" The intercom barked sharply to him. "Come to the main training room at once." Demyan quickly threw on some clothes, it would not do to keep Dr. M waiting. The nineteen year old boy ran down the corridors towards the main training room. When he reached the door, he hesitated. Why would Dr. M call him to the main training room? They always warmed up in one of the lesser training rooms first. 'Oh well,' Demyan thought as he put his feelings of discomfort aside and entered the room seemingly confident. The sight that beheld Demyan Vasily was shocking, for him at least. A woman, about a head shorter than himself with bright red hair, stood as still as a statue next to Dr. M. This was the first time since entering Dr. M's training center that he actually saw another human being besides M and himself. He waited patiently for intructions.



A/N Please R&R tell me what you think. Hope you like! I don't care if you give negative comments. Yeah, flame me! (Only if you want, positive comments are better!) Please forgive me for the shortness of the chapters, I felt that was a good spot to end this chapter. Oh, and thank you so much to those who reviewed this story so far!
