Deep at Heart ch.9
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2003 6:31 pm
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven?t updated in awhile, I?ve been REALLY busy with A LOT of homework and other things, but I won?t go into details there, knowing this is VERY boring. But luckily, it?s Christmas Holidays right now, meaning time to get started to write! So thanks to all those of you who have been reviewing my story so far, it means a lot to me. Anyways, I do not own GW or anything u may recognize here. So I?ll go on with the story now! ^-^
Last Time
?But it?s so? dark?? whispered H.J. nervously.
?But your daddy likes dark places H.J.? said Sara as she continued to drag him to the dark area as H.J. tried to struggle. As they got closer and closer, Sara became more nervous. The kid doesn?t deserve to die, he doesn?t even deserve anything he?s going through right now? but what other choices do I have?
Suddenly, a dark shadow could be seen.
?I?ve brought him sir,? said Sara as she put a strong hold on H.J. so he couldn?t move. When there wasn?t a reply, Sara grew suspicious. Suddenly she gasped, ?You?re? you?re??
Chapter Nine: Dreams Do Come True
There was nothing but silence that greeted her, but her blood suddenly ran cold. She could feel that icy glare starring right through her, and she had never been so frightened in her life.
?H.J. Come here,? said the voice in a calm yet dangerous tone, H.J. did as he was told, even if he didn?t know whom the man in the shadows was, at least he was away from this horrid lady. As soon as H.J. had gotten into the shadows and by the man?s side, Sara was knocked out unconscious.
?Miss me?? asked the voice in a serious tone, but with hidden humor. H.J. looked up hopefully as the strangers hidden face was revealed to him.
?DADDY!!! I missed you so much! Mommy left and I don?t know where she went, and then that lady came and hurt me! I?m so happy you?re here daddy!? smiled H.J. as he went up and hugged Heero around his leg tightly. Heero could almost feel pain from the pressure of the grip, but he slowly lifted H.J. up onto his shoulder and gave him a small smile. Though it barely looked like one, it wasn?t really the right time to smile; it was a time to bring an end to Hilton and everything he had planned. But that would mean having to get to Hilton and assassinate him, but the people of outer space would never understand that. And what would Relena say? Surely killing this man wasn?t acceptable to her? there had to be another way? but there wasn?t.
?H.J. I need you to do a favor for me, alright?? asked Heero sternly.
?Ok, anything for you daddy!? smiled H.J.
?Go to over to Maxwell, and tell him that I?ll need him to contact me as soon as he can, can you remember that?? asked Heero. He was hoping that H.J. could remember that, he already had almost all the traits he did; this shouldn?t be too hard to remember.
?Awww, but daddy, I don?t want to leave you,? H.J. pouted.
?Just do as I say, ok?? asked Heero with a sigh. Finally H.J. nodded as Heero let him down. And H.J. quickly ran off back toward the lab as Heero set off again.
Relena
Relena quickly headed back to her room and laid down on her bed. Taking out the picture she had under her pillow, Heero? After tomorrow? I?ll miss you the most?Thought Relena as tears began flooding her eyes and one escaped, running smoothly down her cheek. Hugging the picture, Relena finally fell asleep? only to wait for the nightmares to engulf her.
Heero
Heero quickly ran back to the base, searching up every bit of information he could find on the place where the wedding was going to be held. He knew Hilton would do anything in his power to stop him from even getting 100 miles from there. Perhaps there was a secret entrance that even Hilton didn?t know about. Heero searched up everything he could find and memorized the map of the entire building by heart. Including all secret passages. He knew he had said he wasn?t going to be there at the wedding, but he wasn?t going to lose her. Not this time, not again. He had been running too long, it was time he stopped and confronted exactly what he felt for her. What he really wanted in life, to put an end to missions. Missions were nothing but a game that he played just to keep his mind focused on other things besides her. This time, this game, wasn?t a game he could even risk the lost to, even if it cost him his life and even if it took his next life, he?d win this game. And he?d win her heart. This was a dream, a dream that was going to come true.
Suddenly, he heard a ringing tone. It was his cellular phone.
?Hello??
*Heero buddy, your kid came and told me to contact you as soon as I could, so what?s up? *
?Is everyone doing alright??
*Ya, we?re all fine now. Everyone?s cured thanks to Trowa, but he?s in the process of it himself right now. *
?Good, I need you to get everything ready for tomorrow?? started Heero.
*But dude, isn?t Relena getting married tomorrow? What?s going on in that mind of yours right now? *
?Just get everyone ready and meet me there at the ?party?, we?re going to crash it once I arrive.?
*And how will we know when you?ve arrived? *
?You?ll just know.?
And with that, Heero hung up, grabbed his gun and got into his car and drove back toward the Sanq Kingdom. If he got there in time, he might still have a chance to map everything out before the morning came. And he?d have a greater chance of success in this mission where he couldn?t lose.
In the Lab
Trowa was still sleeping soundly, but he was getting more and more pale. Sweat was pouring out even more rapidly than before and if it was even possibly, his lips had turned a greenish color.
?Ms. Noin! He?s not getting any better! What should we do?!? yelled Quatre. He was panicking.
?Quatre! CALM DOWN! Have faith that he WILL make it; otherwise he won?t have any hope left. This could just be a side effect of the antidote taking effect. So calm down and relax, take a nap, and stay quiet so that Trowa may rest himself,? said Noin sternly as she pushed Quatre down to a seat. Quatre nodded weakly and gulped.
Duo and Wufei
?So let me get this straight, the great Heero Yuy is going to stop this wedding after all? What about Quatre and the others?? asked Wufei as Duo and him began walking out of the hospital.
?We?ll contact them as soon as Trowa?s feeling a bit better than the state he?s in now. Quatre obviously won?t want to leave his best friend just lying there in the open where Hilton?s men can attack him in the state he?s in now, and I think I feel the same way. But it?s Heero?s orders, so we have to go. And Noin must stay to keep Quatre under control. As for Zechs, I don?t think he should know about this little mission at all,? said Duo with a sweat drop.
?For once, you?re actually making sense,? Smirked Wufei as they got into the jeep and drove off.
Relena?s dream
?Who? who are you?? asked Relena softly. She could barely make out an image of who was in front of her. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at her.
?Relena, you miss me already?? he laughed.
?Hilton? What do you want?? asked Relena angrily. Then without warning he grabbed her and had a firm hold on her, not allowing her to move. ?Let go of me!? yelled Relena furiously.
?Don?t you dare oppose to me like that,? snapped Hilton, in a calm voice as he continued to drag her.
Flash of Darkness? then?
Relena looked up and saw someone, but it was just a shadow. But she did see a gun pointing right at them.
?Let her go,? she heard him say. Who was it? Why couldn?t she recognize the voice?
?I can?t do that, put down your gun or I?ll hurt her,? growled Hilton angrily. Relena stared at the person in front of her. The person stood there, stiff, but suddenly he began to move. He bent down and put his gun down to the ground.
?Good boy, now get up and walk over there,? said Hilton was sweat ran down his forehead.
Suddenly the guy ran straightforward and crashed into Hilton, who flung Relena off the edge of the cliff. She was falling further and further away from the surface, and closer to her death. She didn?t want to die, not just yet; she still never got to tell Heero that one thing she had kept inside for so long. She wasn?t ready for this.
?NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? yelled Relena as she continued to fall, reaching her hands out for someone to catch her.
Relena suddenly bounced up. ?Whew, it was just a dream? but who was that guy?? thought Relena out loud as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. Just then, there was a knock on the door and Lisa entered.
?Are you alright?? she asked as she began opening the curtains.
?Everything?s fine, I just had a bad dream, that?s all,? sighed Relena. Today was the big day. It?d also be her last.
?Well, it?s already 7am, and I?m sure it was nothing. But now you?ve really got to get started getting ready for your wedding. You don?t want to keep the groom waiting, now do you?? laughed Lisa slightly.
?I guess not?? said Relena slowly as she got out of bed and headed toward the bathroom.
?You don?t know how lucky you really are?? whispered Lisa under her breath so that no one would hear her.
?What was that you just said Lisa?? asked Relena from the bathroom.
?Nothing Miss Relena!? she yelled as she took out the wedding dress and brought out the breakfast. She couldn?t help but admire the dress; she would never get a chance to wear something like this in a million years. After about an hour, Relena finally came out of the bathroom.
?Miss Relena, what took you so long?? asked Lisa.
?I? to tell you the truth, I just don?t want to live through the day, so I stayed in there a bit? to think,? answered Relena as she sat back down on her bed. She was wearing her casual clothing.
?Miss Relena? I think you should eat your breakfast now and then get changed into your wedding gown right away. Because I?ll still have to do your hair,? smiled Lisa.
?I know? Lisa, could you just let me finished up breakfast and go outside for awhile, I promise to be back before 10 so we have time left to do everything,? pleaded Relena.
?All right Miss Relena,? smiled Lisa as she left the room.
?Thanks so much Lisa?? thought Relena out loud as she quickly finished up her breakfast in her room and hurried outside.
Heero
Heero quickly parked the car behind the bushes where it could be hidden and snuck his way into the Sanq Kingdom grounds without being noticed. That was the easy part, but now he had to face the much harder security measures. He hid behind the bushes and did a quick scan of the area and had already spotted nine hidden cameras, about twenty guards just guarding the area he was in, and about five hidden traps. They were definitely expertly done, but nothing he couldn?t handle, except maybe the guards. Somehow he had to come up with a plan to pass through the traps without being noticed by the guards and the cameras. Meaning he?d have to take down the cameras first and then knock out the guards. With one swift movement, Heero hid on a branch of the tree next to him. Taking a deep breath as he prepared for his quick attack. Ripping a branch of the tree silently as possible, Heero threw it to the other side of the ground. It was a good thing he had such a good arm, otherwise it wouldn?t have gone as far as he needed. All the guards except about three ran over to where the tree branch had landed and began checking the area out. Heero quickly shot down the ten cameras with his silent gun, luckily no one heard or saw him do so, since he had stayed in one spot the whole time.
The rest of the guards came back and stood in the rightful positions once more. Heero quickly grabbed out three sleeping gas bombs and blasted them out to three spread out areas of the grounds. Putting all twenty soldiers to sleep almost immediately. Heero quickly grabbed one of the soldier?s uniform and put it on. He began walking toward the kingdom.
Suddenly a hand landed on his shoulder, Heero quickly spun around.
?Where do you think you?re going?? asked one of the soldiers, obviously a higher in command.
?I need to use the ?facilities?,? answered Heero quickly, that wasn?t exactly the smartest thing he could say, but it definitely got him pass the guy with no harm done to either of them. He hurried inside, once he got in he ran up the stairs to see if Relena was still in her room at the time. When he got there, he realized she wasn?t, but knew she was in no harm so he quickly left and headed down to the basement where the first secret passage was put. If he remembered accurately, it would lead him straight to the other wing on the other side of the building without being noticed. But he?d also have to be careful incase of traps and especially if Hilton also knew about this area.
Heero quickly hurried through the dark tunnel, he could just make out a few men up ahead. Meaning that Hilton HAD known about these secret passages, and he?d have to be extremely cautious. He quickly made his way through, unnoticed by the soldiers that were on guard. Hilton wasn?t smart enough to expect Heero to even go through the secret passages, or so it seemed, since all the guards that were guarding the tunnel, were either pathetically equipped, or else sleeping on the job.
Once Heero made it to the other side, he could see that everything had been set up. There were decorations everywhere, colors of white and red. If it had been a friend?s wedding, Heero might not have been so appalled as he had been at this moment. But ignoring the feeling at the pit of his stomach, Heero quickly went and took down a soldier that was standing by the corner of a wall and took his place after dragging the body behind a bush. Well hidden to make sure no one would suspect or see.
Heero waited about an hour before everything had begun. He watched as Wufei and Duo enter the party without being noticed, taking their seats near the back of the place. Hilton was leading against the west walls, with a very smug smile on his face. Heero growled under his breath at the sight, but kept silent. After about another fifteen minutes of waiting, everyone that had arrived began to quite down.
?Today, we are here to unite two loving people together??
Heero could hear the priest begin, and for a moment, he had completely forgotten what the plan was. But he quickly readied his gun, just as Hilton took his place up at the front. A split second before the piano began to play, Heero stuck his gun into the air and shot. The loud noise made the guests all panic and duck under tables and almost anything they could find protection in. And as if on cue, Wufei and Duo got into action. Duo tried to calm the crowd down as Wufei immediately went for Hilton.
Only problem was Hilton was smarter than that. While he was leaning against the wall, he had immediately noticed Heero Yuy standing near the corner of the wall. Any ordinary person might?ve missed it, but it was obvious that he was there. He remembered every soldier he had put on guard, and none of them could stay still for even a moment. And as Hilton had been checking the grounds, he had seen at least twenty of his men asleep on the ground. If that hadn?t been a great giveaway, the video cameras definitely were. Yes, it was true, the GREAT Heero Yuy, was getting rusty.
Hilton just laughed as all his soldiers piled into the yard and began to attack Wufei. No one was holding back. During this struggling battle for Wufei, Hilton made his escape. He knew exactly where Relena was, and he wasn?t planning on letting her go that easily. Not after all that planning and time spent on everything. He quickly ran into the building and made his way to the top floor, where there was a locked door. Quickly he let the computer scan him over, giving him access into the room. It hadn?t been easy building such security at the Sanq kingdom, but he had done it all for his own good cause. As soon as he got access into the room, he quickly grabbed Relena?s hand and pulled her outside the room, and through a secret passage. It led right outside the Sanq kingdom, quite a safety ways away. It was a good thing she was blind folded at the time as well, so she gave little resistant to his attempts.
?Who? who are you?? asked Relena softly. She could barely make out an image of who was in front of her. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at her.
?Relena, you miss me already?? he laughed.
?Hilton? What do you want?? asked Relena angrily. Then without warning he grabbed her and had a firm hold on her, not allowing her to move. ?Let go of me!? yelled Relena furiously. As if being confided to a room wasn?t bad enough.
?Don?t you dare oppose to me like that,? snapped Hilton, in a calm voice as he continued to drag her. Finally they reached his car, and he quickly shoved her inside.
Heero
Heero had seen Hilton escape, and had suspected where Hilton was probably going. He quickly followed Hilton up to the top floor and watched him as he opened the door and dragged Relena out.
Heero could feel his rage building as he watched Relena struggle against Hilton?s grip, and watched, as her eyes seemed to glaze over. As soon as he had seen Hilton drag Relena into his car, he quickly got toward his own. He made sure he was a safe distance away, but close enough to still follow Hilton.
Relena
Relena was all in restraints by now, and there was no way for her to escape. She had no clue what was going on, the wedding was supposed to be just a moment ago. Why would Hilton just drag her away like that? She just didn?t understand. Did someone try to stop the wedding? If that happened? it probably wasn?t Heero? then why did Hilton seem to be somewhat frightened?
?Hilton, where are you taking us?? she asked. This time trying to keep her cool.
?It?s none of YOUR business,? he snapped angrily as he stepped on the gas pedal.
?Why is he driving so fast? Is someone following us?? thought Relena. But there was no way she could tell, because she was tied up and there was no way for her to see behind her. And being in a big wedding dress didn?t help the matters.
Hilton
Hilton knew as soon as they had gotten out of the Sanq Kingdom vicinity, that they were being followed, obviously by none of than ?the perfect soldier?.
?He should?ve been dead by now, how could those insolent soldier?s not see him escape and try to stop him?!? he thought angrily, though there wasn?t much he could do about it now.
He heard Relena ask him a pathetic question, and just snapped at her, saying it was none of her business. He looked into the mirror and could see Heero?s car only a distance away, so he quickly stepped onto the gas pedal. Immediately, he realized that he was heading toward a dead end and a highway. The high way would?ve led him directly into the police area of the place. Hilton growled under his breath angrily and used one hand to make sure the dagger was still safely tucked away in his jacket. Then he took the turn toward the dead end. He then stopped the car and shoved Relena out, near the edge of the cliff. Under her, were unbelievably sharp rocks. If she fell down there, there was no way she would live to tell about it.
Hilton quickly pushed her in front of him, still facing the cliff, and put the dagger to her throat. He could hear Heero?s car stop just then and the car door open. He also knew that Relena was trying to see who it was, but he wouldn?t let her get her hopes up.
?Let her go.?
It was a very cold and serious voice. Hilton turned his head around just to see the sight he hated so much. Heero Yuy had finally arrived.

?But it?s so? dark?? whispered H.J. nervously.
?But your daddy likes dark places H.J.? said Sara as she continued to drag him to the dark area as H.J. tried to struggle. As they got closer and closer, Sara became more nervous. The kid doesn?t deserve to die, he doesn?t even deserve anything he?s going through right now? but what other choices do I have?

?Awww, but daddy, I don?t want to leave you,? H.J. pouted.
?Just do as I say, ok?? asked Heero with a sigh. Finally H.J. nodded as Heero let him down. And H.J. quickly ran off back toward the lab as Heero set off again.
Relena
Relena quickly headed back to her room and laid down on her bed. Taking out the picture she had under her pillow, Heero? After tomorrow? I?ll miss you the most?Thought Relena as tears began flooding her eyes and one escaped, running smoothly down her cheek. Hugging the picture, Relena finally fell asleep? only to wait for the nightmares to engulf her.

This was a dream, a dream that was going to come true.
Suddenly, he heard a ringing tone. It was his cellular phone.
?Hello??
*Heero buddy, your kid came and told me to contact you as soon as I could, so what?s up? *
?Is everyone doing alright??
*Ya, we?re all fine now. Everyone?s cured thanks to Trowa, but he?s in the process of it himself right now. *
?Good, I need you to get everything ready for tomorrow?? started Heero.
*But dude, isn?t Relena getting married tomorrow? What?s going on in that mind of yours right now? *
?Just get everyone ready and meet me there at the ?party?, we?re going to crash it once I arrive.?
*And how will we know when you?ve arrived? *

And with that, Heero hung up, grabbed his gun and got into his car and drove back toward the Sanq Kingdom. If he got there in time, he might still have a chance to map everything out before the morning came. And he?d have a greater chance of success in this mission where he couldn?t lose.
In the Lab
Trowa was still sleeping soundly, but he was getting more and more pale. Sweat was pouring out even more rapidly than before and if it was even possibly, his lips had turned a greenish color.
?Ms. Noin! He?s not getting any better! What should we do?!? yelled Quatre. He was panicking.
?Quatre! CALM DOWN! Have faith that he WILL make it; otherwise he won?t have any hope left. This could just be a side effect of the antidote taking effect. So calm down and relax, take a nap, and stay quiet so that Trowa may rest himself,? said Noin sternly as she pushed Quatre down to a seat. Quatre nodded weakly and gulped.
Duo and Wufei
?So let me get this straight, the great Heero Yuy is going to stop this wedding after all? What about Quatre and the others?? asked Wufei as Duo and him began walking out of the hospital.
?We?ll contact them as soon as Trowa?s feeling a bit better than the state he?s in now. Quatre obviously won?t want to leave his best friend just lying there in the open where Hilton?s men can attack him in the state he?s in now, and I think I feel the same way. But it?s Heero?s orders, so we have to go. And Noin must stay to keep Quatre under control. As for Zechs, I don?t think he should know about this little mission at all,? said Duo with a sweat drop.

She didn?t want to die, not just yet; she still never got to tell Heero that one thing she had kept inside for so long. She wasn?t ready for this.
?NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? yelled Relena as she continued to fall, reaching her hands out for someone to catch her.
Relena suddenly bounced up. ?Whew, it was just a dream? but who was that guy?? thought Relena out loud as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. Just then, there was a knock on the door and Lisa entered.
?Are you alright?? she asked as she began opening the curtains.
?Everything?s fine, I just had a bad dream, that?s all,? sighed Relena. Today was the big day. It?d also be her last.
?Well, it?s already 7am, and I?m sure it was nothing. But now you?ve really got to get started getting ready for your wedding. You don?t want to keep the groom waiting, now do you?? laughed Lisa slightly.

?All right Miss Relena,? smiled Lisa as she left the room.
?Thanks so much Lisa?? thought Relena out loud as she quickly finished up her breakfast in her room and hurried outside.

When he got there, he realized she wasn?t, but knew she was in no harm so he quickly left and headed down to the basement where the first secret passage was put. If he remembered accurately, it would lead him straight to the other wing on the other side of the building without being noticed. But he?d also have to be careful incase of traps and especially if Hilton also knew about this area.
Heero quickly hurried through the dark tunnel, he could just make out a few men up ahead. Meaning that Hilton HAD known about these secret passages, and he?d have to be extremely cautious. He quickly made his way through, unnoticed by the soldiers that were on guard. Hilton wasn?t smart enough to expect Heero to even go through the secret passages, or so it seemed, since all the guards that were guarding the tunnel, were either pathetically equipped, or else sleeping on the job.
Once Heero made it to the other side, he could see that everything had been set up. There were decorations everywhere, colors of white and red. If it had been a friend?s wedding, Heero might not have been so appalled as he had been at this moment. But ignoring the feeling at the pit of his stomach, Heero quickly went and took down a soldier that was standing by the corner of a wall and took his place after dragging the body behind a bush. Well hidden to make sure no one would suspect or see.
Heero waited about an hour before everything had begun. He watched as Wufei and Duo enter the party without being noticed, taking their seats near the back of the place. Hilton was leading against the west walls, with a very smug smile on his face. Heero growled under his breath at the sight, but kept silent. After about another fifteen minutes of waiting, everyone that had arrived began to quite down.
?Today, we are here to unite two loving people together??
Heero could hear the priest begin, and for a moment, he had completely forgotten what the plan was. But he quickly readied his gun, just as Hilton took his place up at the front. A split second before the piano began to play, Heero stuck his gun into the air and shot. The loud noise made the guests all panic and duck under tables and almost anything they could find protection in. And as if on cue, Wufei and Duo got into action. Duo tried to calm the crowd down as Wufei immediately went for Hilton.
Only problem was Hilton was smarter than that. While he was leaning against the wall, he had immediately noticed Heero Yuy standing near the corner of the wall. Any ordinary person might?ve missed it, but it was obvious that he was there. He remembered every soldier he had put on guard, and none of them could stay still for even a moment. And as Hilton had been checking the grounds, he had seen at least twenty of his men asleep on the ground. If that hadn?t been a great giveaway, the video cameras definitely were. Yes, it was true, the GREAT Heero Yuy, was getting rusty.
Hilton just laughed as all his soldiers piled into the yard and began to attack Wufei. No one was holding back. During this struggling battle for Wufei, Hilton made his escape. He knew exactly where Relena was, and he wasn?t planning on letting her go that easily. Not after all that planning and time spent on everything. He quickly ran into the building and made his way to the top floor, where there was a locked door. Quickly he let the computer scan him over, giving him access into the room. It hadn?t been easy building such security at the Sanq kingdom, but he had done it all for his own good cause. As soon as he got access into the room, he quickly grabbed Relena?s hand and pulled her outside the room, and through a secret passage. It led right outside the Sanq kingdom, quite a safety ways away. It was a good thing she was blind folded at the time as well, so she gave little resistant to his attempts.
?Who? who are you?? asked Relena softly. She could barely make out an image of who was in front of her. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at her.
?Relena, you miss me already?? he laughed.
?Hilton? What do you want?? asked Relena angrily. Then without warning he grabbed her and had a firm hold on her, not allowing her to move. ?Let go of me!? yelled Relena furiously. As if being confided to a room wasn?t bad enough.
?Don?t you dare oppose to me like that,? snapped Hilton, in a calm voice as he continued to drag her. Finally they reached his car, and he quickly shoved her inside.
Heero
Heero had seen Hilton escape, and had suspected where Hilton was probably going. He quickly followed Hilton up to the top floor and watched him as he opened the door and dragged Relena out.
Heero could feel his rage building as he watched Relena struggle against Hilton?s grip, and watched, as her eyes seemed to glaze over. As soon as he had seen Hilton drag Relena into his car, he quickly got toward his own. He made sure he was a safe distance away, but close enough to still follow Hilton.
Relena
Relena was all in restraints by now, and there was no way for her to escape. She had no clue what was going on, the wedding was supposed to be just a moment ago. Why would Hilton just drag her away like that? She just didn?t understand. Did someone try to stop the wedding? If that happened? it probably wasn?t Heero? then why did Hilton seem to be somewhat frightened?
?Hilton, where are you taking us?? she asked. This time trying to keep her cool.
?It?s none of YOUR business,? he snapped angrily as he stepped on the gas pedal.
?Why is he driving so fast? Is someone following us?? thought Relena. But there was no way she could tell, because she was tied up and there was no way for her to see behind her. And being in a big wedding dress didn?t help the matters.
Hilton
Hilton knew as soon as they had gotten out of the Sanq Kingdom vicinity, that they were being followed, obviously by none of than ?the perfect soldier?.
?He should?ve been dead by now, how could those insolent soldier?s not see him escape and try to stop him?!? he thought angrily, though there wasn?t much he could do about it now.
He heard Relena ask him a pathetic question, and just snapped at her, saying it was none of her business. He looked into the mirror and could see Heero?s car only a distance away, so he quickly stepped onto the gas pedal. Immediately, he realized that he was heading toward a dead end and a highway. The high way would?ve led him directly into the police area of the place. Hilton growled under his breath angrily and used one hand to make sure the dagger was still safely tucked away in his jacket. Then he took the turn toward the dead end. He then stopped the car and shoved Relena out, near the edge of the cliff. Under her, were unbelievably sharp rocks. If she fell down there, there was no way she would live to tell about it.
Hilton quickly pushed her in front of him, still facing the cliff, and put the dagger to her throat. He could hear Heero?s car stop just then and the car door open. He also knew that Relena was trying to see who it was, but he wouldn?t let her get her hopes up.
?Let her go.?
It was a very cold and serious voice. Hilton turned his head around just to see the sight he hated so much. Heero Yuy had finally arrived.
