Otay here's opart four which is totally new! but the next part is one of the real good parts and some limey goodness for ya's! ^____^
Late night was one of the only times Quatre ever felt secure enough to entirely relax. Late at night when his mind and body refused to rest, he could walk around the grounds of his estate, or curl up in his study. And he wouldn't have to worry about OZ, Romafellor, or rival corporations listening in on him, studying his every move.
At night he quietly relieved the grief of loosing his family. With Trowa he had gotten through the pain of loosing his father and Iria. He'd been overjoyed when little Orin had been born, he had become Quatre's new reason for living. Part of a large family had made him looks forward to having his own. Then they'd both died in that explosions and his world had fallen apart. Only Duo and Zechs had kept him going all these years.
The ringing of the doorbell was a godsend. It stopped his treacherously straying thoughts before they got even darker. He padded to the front door, there would be no servants around this late at night. Opening it slowly, he was quite shocked to see Wufei standing on his doorstep. He hadn't seen Wufei in years...
"Wufei..."
"Hello Quatre. May I come in?"
Quatre, ever the gracious host, nodded and led Wufei back to his study. After making sure his Chinese friend was seated, he busied himself with making some tea for them to drink. Why was he suddenly so nervous? Must be just seeing Wufei again...
"So what brings you here Wufei?" Quatre was always thankful he could be blunt around his closest friends. Often he had to sugar coat things while at work.
"Well, I was here on business." Quatre couldn't suppress his wince and was grateful that Wufei ignored it and sipped his tea. "I was supposed to locate a terrorist group that had been striking OZ. I think I found one of them but he left another with person. The odd thing is the person he left with looked like Zechs did during the war. Minus the helmet of course."
Quatre nearly dropped the cup of tea he was holding. His blue eyes grew very round and he sat down, taking a steadying drink of his tea. Three, that made *three* people who had seen a guy looking like Zechs.
"You know Duo and Zechs saw a guy that looked like Zechs today. Except that he bowled them over then ran from some OZ soldiers."
Wufei raised and eyebrow at the bit of information. Something wasn't adding up and Wufei absolutely detested mysteries. They itched the scholarly part of his brain that wanted to solve them and that conflicted with the part of him that was a soldier.
Absently, both men sipped their tea, neither knew what to say and the silence stretched on. It only grew as time passed till any noise would have been welcome to shatter the tense silence in the room. Then Quatre's computer suddenly clicked on and gave a loud beep both men sighed.
Quatre went over and looked at what was coming in to his computer at this late hour. It was from his contacts in OZ and the information they sent him made him blink and do a double take.
"This can't be happening..." his voice was a bare whisper in the room. There was evident shock in that voice when it spoke again "Wufei... Gundams are attacking OZ!"
End of Part 4
Cliffhanger!!!! Now who in the world could be piloting those Gundams hmm...?
