This part is shorter than the previous two.  Yet the story is getting interesting, ne?  Well, as I said so many times, GW belongs to its rightful owners (which isn’t me).  Standard disclaimer is still applicable.  Enjoy this part!

Part 10

            The four boys, with their soulmates, had split toward their own missions.  After having that talk with Heero and looking at the report that Heero had done to summarize their findings, the four boys had decided what actions to take next.  Quatre had decided to take out the ones that were well known in society, with Dorothy’s help to cover his work.  Trowa and Midii had gotten jobs that were near to their targets.  Wufei had recruited Meiran, with Heero’s help, to the Preventers; thus, the couple had used their badge to get the bad guys.

Duo and Hilde had decided to mingle with the mass of people.  They became just like one of the everyday people, never letting themselves become too noticeable.  It was during one of these ventures that they found something new.

“Hey, babe, what did you find?”

Hilde held out the piece of paper that held her attention.

Duo took it and read it.  His eyes widened and he cursed.

“We got to get this to Heero.  He has to read this.”

 

Relena awoke from her nap.  She stretched and snuggled more deeply within her husband’s arms.  She felt him tighten them around her, and she smiled.

“Are you well-rested, angel?”

“Uh huh.”

Relena felt a kiss brush her temple.  “That’s good.”

The couple was content within each other’s arms.  The danger that had been in the top of their mind was forgotten for the moment.  All they thought about was each other and how happy they were.

The couple’s serenity was shattered when a knock came upon their door.  The newcomers were bid to come in, and the four couples walked in.  Duo went up next to the bed, holding a sheet of paper in his hand.  He had on a grim expression; in fact, all of them had grim expressions on their faces.

“Heero, we have a problem.”

Heero took the paper that Duo held out to him, and read it.  He, too, became grim.

“I see.”

Duo waited, but when there were no more comments coming from him, spoke up.  “Well, what do you think?”

“We wait.”

Shock appeared on Duo’s face.  “What?!”

Heero repeated himself.  “We wait.  That is the only thing left we could do.  He knows that we are alive.  This paper proves it.  So he became more careful.  Meaning that his moves from now on is calculated and well-thought of.”

“So he has to make the blunder that will help us know the location of his hideout.”  Quatre nodded thoughtfully.  “That makes sense.”

Duo sighed.  “I hate waiting,” he grumbled.

 

The boy was thrown out of the room, coming to rest when he hit the wall and slid down, unconscious.  He was the unfortunate messenger of the bad news that had made his boss extremely mad.

The dark figure banged his hand on his steel desk, thankfully not making a dent upon its shiny surface.  He hissed.

Damn fools.  He had paid the ungrateful creatures to carry out his messages.  Now one of them had clumsily handed his enemies about his presence.

He grinned.  No matter.  At least he knew.  And that eased his anger.

He laughed.

He can’t wait.
