Blind Death

Part 9

Quatre stared at Heero.

What can he say?

"Heero, put the gun away." Trowa said suddenly.

Heero didn’t move.

"Let him explain." Duo added.

Heero moved the gun away from Quatre’s head and walked backwards never taking his eyes off of Quatre.

"Explain." Heero commanded.

Quatre relaxed a little.

"Please sit down." Quatre said.

And they all did.

"No one was ever suppose to know." Quatre started.

"Relena came to me two years ago. She called my private line and asked me to meet her at a restaurant four miles away from my home on Earth. And so I did."

"When I got there she was already there. I could see that Pagan was waiting outside so I didn’t bother to ask how she found the place since she was blind."

"We talked a bit about our lives, but mostly it was about my life. But I knew that wasn’t why she asked me to meet her."

"Then she told me. She was looking for you, Heero." Quatre said.

Duo and Trowa turned to look at Heero, who remained the same. Expressionless.

"I told her I’d see what I can do. So every few months we would meet and discuss your whereabouts. It was very hard, considering you moved a lot. Every time I would find your location you were already gone."

"It was very hard on Relena. I could tell she was sneaking out of her house."

"The last time I saw her she acted the same as always. I never imagined she would be killed a few days later." Quatre said while tears engulfed his face.

"But did you have a relationship with her?" Duo asked.

Quatre looked at Duo.

"There were times that I felt we could become more than friends. But she didn’t want to ruin our friendship." Quatre declared.

Heero stood up and walked up to Quatre.

"Why wasn’t anyone suppose to know about your secret meetings?"

"Relena asked me not to tell anyone. She didn’t want her brother finding out."

"Apparently, Zechs found out. These pictures were in his hands." Trowa said.

"Heero, Relena was still in love with you. She told me herself. That’s the reason she was looking for you." Quatre announced.

Heero remained silent and left.

The three men alone were left alone.

"But why would Zechs have pictures of you and Relena?" Duo asked.

"I don’t like it." Trowa commented. "It doesn’t feel right."

----------------------------------

Noin stood up slightly. Her whole body shaking.

She had found the computer files to her home’s security system of the past five years.

Why didn’t anyone notice before?

Some of the security tapes were missing.

And the majority of them contained Relena’s room.

---------------------------------------------

Wufei stood on top of the cliff.

The ocean roaring below him. The breeze hitting his face gave him the sense of feeling alive.

He inhaled and exhaled the air.

He closed his eyes and the only sound he could hear were the waves crashing against the rock below him.

That is how Relena lived her life.

With only sounds to guide her.

He was angry.

With himself.

With Relena.

With Heero.

With Zechs.

With the world.

He begged for Nataku to give him strength. He needed it more than ever.

He had been here for hours now since Relena’s funeral.

Most of the time standing there and thinking about everything.

Some of it was spent training his martial arts.

Suddenly he heard a noise a few feet behind him.

He opened his eyes.

"What do you want?" He growled.

"I have information that might interest you." A figure said behind him.

"Like what?"

"It’s concerning Miss Relena." The figure said.

Wufei turned around and stared hard at the figure.

"Tell me." Wufei demanded.

"I know where Mr. Peacecraft is." The figure said.

"What do you get out of it?" Wufei asked.

"Justice." The figure repeated.

The figure gave Wufei a piece of paper.

"He’s there right now."

"I thought you were loyal to the Peacecrafts?" Wufei asked.

"Only to Miss Relena." The figure answered.

Wufei began to walk away.

He turned to see the figure one last time before leaving.

He could see him watching him.

He noticed that he was still wearing his uniform.

And he turned again to leave.

In the distance behind Wufei, the figure could hear the ocean talking to him.

Yes he had done the right thing.

Mr. Peacecraft would get what he deserved.

Pagan smiled knowing everything would be over soon.

To be continue….
