Chapter 4: Everything Just Falls Apart

What was going on? How could they accuse Heero of this? These were the main questions on Relena?s mind the morning after the news was released. The problem was that nobody would tell her a damned thing. Zech?s just told her that Heero was up to his ?usual shit?, Une wouldn?t call her back, for once Dorthy didn?t know anything, Duo, Trowa, Wufei, and strangely enough Quatre were reluctant to even speak with her, and Sally couldn?t be reached. The only person left to ask was Noin but that could wait till later. Right now she had john over and she had to do her best to smile and act happy to see him.

?Relena, I?m so glad that monster was caught before he could hurt you again?, John said as he entered the room.

?Hello John?, she said softly, not bothering to turn and face him ?You?re here early?.

?Yes I wanted to make sure you were ok. Are you holding up alright?? he was now in plain sight of Relena.

?I?m doing just fine, and how are you today?? she was now facing him. ?As long as you are happy I am too?, was his response.

?Thank you for such kind words, but I am afraid I am in need of rest and you will be late if you do not leave soon?, she was now getting irritated by the small talk.

?No my dear I will not be late?, something was strange about this last comment; his voice had taken on a shadowy overtone. ?You see Relena, this whole time, my job has been you?. She barley saw him move, just a quick burst of pain in her head then nothing at all.

After all this was done John walked to the door and opened it allowing three people with a stretcher dressed in Preventer medic uniforms into the room. The two with the stretcher began to unhook Relena and load her onto the stretcher. The other man went to John for orders.

?Take her to the base; don?t worry about making her comfortable, she?ll be dead in a few weeks after all.? John gave the man his instructions. The man then saluted and the three left with Relena on the stretcher.

John then sat down and dialed up a number on a cell phone, waiting the tree tones for an answering machine to pick up, ?It?s done; the coup de gr?ce has begun?. He then hung up and waited for the response. A text message came in three minuets later with the words ?Operation Roguewave commence?. He proceeded to remove the SIM card and destroy both it and the cell phone. Then he left to follow the other three. Everything was going as planned.

?Get in the room?. The officer shoved Heero into a dark gray room. It looked like the torture facilities he had been trained in during the war. ?Someone will be with you in a moment?, then the officer gave him one last shove before closing the door and locking it.

The whole thing reeked of Preventer but he knew of no such facilities outside of Preventers HQ with these kinds of interrogation rooms. He soon got his answer when the door opened and a female voice rang out ?Hello Heero?.

?Dorthy? he grumbled, it would have to be her.

?My, my, you really are clever,? she said ?I don?t know how long it would have taken me to figure out my own name?.

?Fuck you?.

?Now, now, is that any way to talk to a lady? Besides, I don?t have time. I?m simply here to deliver a message?.

?It sure is taking you a long time to get to the point then?, he said as she took the seat across from his.

?Oh come now, would you rather fence instead? I won?t let you win this time?.

That struck a nerve, ?Just get the hell on with it?.

?Fine, it seems that someone has got a grudge on you, the photos were released to the media by someone other than Preventors. The news station would only say that?? Bang. A gunshot came from another room, followed by six more.

?Shit,? Heero said, getting up from the chair. ?Are you carrying?? he asked Dorthy who only shook her head. ?Damnit?. Just then the door was kicked open and a shot was fired into the room. He heard Dorthy scream, and watched as her body hit the ground in a pool of oozing blood, then all was quiet.

He was about to rush the man in the doorway but he noticed the gun was now steadily trained on his head. ?Stop where you are before you suffer the same fate as the late Mrs. Catalonia?.

He stopped and put his hands above his head. ?Who are you and what do you want??

?All in good time Mr. Yuy?, the man then looked behind Heero and said ?Drug him?. Heero felt a prick in the back of his arm and then darkness enveloped him.

?What do you think John?? the man in the doorway asked the man behind Heero.

?The drugs should hold. Did you kill all the guards already?? John asked the other man.

?Yes, what shall we do about the girl??

?Leave her body. Make sure to wipe the gun clean and leave it, then bring him up.? John walked to the door and as an afterthought added ?Vaughn, on second thought, take the girls head, we?ll send it to her little prince?, then he walked out.

As he walked down the hall he pulled out a cell phone identical to the one he had destroyed earlier and dialed a number waiting three tones for the machine then saying ?First wave done?, He received a text in return with the words ?Second wave commence? then went through the ritual of destroying the phone. After this he put down the needle used to drug Heero and the broken phone and preceded out the building to wait on his partner.
