Zechs Merquize wiped sweat off his brow for the thousandth time that night. the records room wasn't a commonly visited place so airconditioning was left out of it's mian construction. Ten hours, eleven minutes and forty-three seconds he'd been searching through every file he could on Relena's security team, both paper copy and computerized. Two individuals in particular took the highest priority on his list as he was more than willing to burn the midnight oil in his search if that's what it took.



He had had to recieve proper clearence from Lady Une after explaining in detail his suspicions and reasons before he could have ever hoped to recieve access to the delicate information. every dirty deatil, every tiny secret about the pasts of every preventer agent was contained within the files in the room and he was determined to leave no stone unturned no matter how little sleep he received. Taking another long drink from his coffee mug he scanned through Leutenant Conroy's data finding not so much as a single flaw. No law violations and a long history of law enforcers and soldiers. According to the information none of those military connections would or should have any grounds to have a grudge against the peace, the current government, or, more importantly, his sister.

He stopped, rubbing his temples for a moment, his eyes beginning to burn from exhaustion. He finished his coffee and leaned back, closing his eyes. One more set of files to go. the last set having partaining to the other young leutenant in charge of his sisters personal safety. So far everything in the previous files had checked out. her education was slightly more than the basic leading into the first few stages of college. Her accomplishments both academic and extracuricular seemed very impressive. the only thing that seemed vague and less than satisfactory was the information regaurding her family. most places were left blank. Becuase of the continuous times of war most of the younger preventers did not know who their parents were due tosudden deaths or seperations. he sighed. The night was getting longer by the moment.

The door creaked open and the new burst of light was a sharp contrast to the dim lighting he had curently holed himself up in. A second cup of coffee was laid infront of him and a pair of thin hands found themselves massaging his shoulders. He didn't open his eyes to see who it was. he didn't need to.

"Noin. You should be at home." He heard her sigh out a laugh.

"I told you I would never leave your side. You need me at a time like this." He reached up and put his hand on hers, letting the quiet comfort of her presense calm him.

"Noin.."

"You're not helping anyone by exhausting yourself Zechs. Let me help you. Two sets of eyes are better than one and of the two of us, i'm the one who is most used to sleep deprivation." She smiled. Five years of motherhood equals vertually no sleep, but makes every waking moment worth it.

"Alright" She smiled and sat down next to him, looking over the computer coppied file while he gazed over the paper one. God willing, they'd find something soon.
