Assailant Part: ?(Don't know lost count) By: Reboo Email: rlw1985@hotmail.com or lngwp@oz.zzn.com Zechs left the room in silent anger, trying to keep himself in check, and chucked the coffee he had just picked up. It no longer smelled sweet, but bitter. He left the hotel, the bright cheery atmosphere not helping at all, instead just making him even more mad. The guys refused to tell him where she had gone, Duo making up some lame excuse that she had gone shopping. Noin had never liked actually doing anything in the morning, she was up, but normally lacked the drive to do something that early. He dug his hands into his pockets, and growled lowly in frustration. What was up with her. Did she honestly figure her loyalty and trust was not returned. That raised an issue though. He had never really been put to the test, and it was always him telling Noin something. He couldn't remember the last times she had told him a secret, if she ever had. He shook his head, he hated it when he had to deal with things this early in the morning. Where had she gone too, his little angel. Even though he'd never admit it. She had always been there for him. Lately however he realized how little he was there for her. How many shecrets she must have been keeping from him all this time, and he had never offered to listen. Then it struck him, as he was walking by, about ready to turn a corner. The van they had used last night was sitting right there. He took a closer look at it, and backed up. That was definately it. He tried the side door, and it opened up, so he went in shutting the door behind him, and set himself to finding out exactly what she might want to do inside that building. Normally Noin was not so sloppy, so maybe she had left something behind as well. "Duo, I'm warning you," Relena glared at him. Duo however didn't respond shaking off the patented Yuy death glare. "How about you Sally," Relena said switching targets. "Care to tell me what's going on." "They went shopping, just like Duo said," Sally answered keeping her face blank as she lied straight into Relena's face. Relena growled and looked at the six people in front of her. They were all straight faced lying to her, except for Duo who was wearing a smirk, a straight tip off that he was lying. She looked at them, they were all against her on this, it was obvious they were lying to her, but why. The lot of them were making her excedingly angry. She gave them all a death glare and left. She'd just get Hilde to get the information out of Duo. She smirked as she sat down at the desk supplied in her room, and dialed Hide's number. She tapped her fingers as it beeped and finally Hilde picked up on the other end. "Give me, a sec ok Relena, the cat's at the couch again." She watched Hilde come in and out of focus on the screen chasing after the mischevious cat. Relena couldn't help but laugh at the situation. "I can wait," she said through giggles. Moments later Hilde's face popped up on the screen, flushed and she was holding tightly onto a cat who was struggling in vain to get loose. "What can I do for you," Hilde asked. Relena's smirk bridened, "Get some information out of Duo for me." "It would be my pleasure. What do you need." Hilde said, she always got a good kick out of picking on Duo. "Where Noin, and my brother happened to disappear to again." "Sure no pron, when would you like to know bye." Hilde asked while rubbing the little furballs head in. "As soon as possible," Relena said her smile still quite broad. "Okay, Hilde out," Hilde said and put the cat on the floor. "Now you behave, and stay out of the junkyard and off the coach, I need to go bug Duo." she lectured and the cat bounded away. Relena leaned back and sighed. Somehow she doubted her brother and Noin were making out somewhere or even talking for that matter. They were too stiff necked in her opinion. They weren't even dating, but that was mostly in part to her dear brother who hadn't said anything to Noin in any such manner. She sighed again, it wasn't like things were going much better between her and Heero, but at the very least they had a relationship. 'Oh well,' she thought bounding over to her bed, 'I can always catch some extra sleep until Hilde calls, she'll ring it out of Duo for me.' she thought and curled up on the bed. "Why didn't you tell," Sally asked curiously. "The weak onna already has someone after her anyway." Wufei said and Sally glared at him. "We're not callous," Trowa replied looking at her from the window. "I wasn't implying that. Its just that you don't seem to be too close to her." Sally said, ringing her hands in boredom. "No one is close to her, not even Zechs," Heero said in a monotone voice. "Maybe, but I don't think so, they've known each other for years." Sally said eyeing Heero. "I think I'd have to agree with Heero," Quatre said not bothering to look up from his chess game with Duo. "Noin knows more or less everything about us, but what do we really know about her if you think about it." The rest of the heads in the room turned around to stare at Quatre. The realization hitting most of them for the first time. Two consecutive beeps brought them out of their short musings. "It's for you Duo," Sally said. "Awe, who is it," Duo whined, "I've almost got the Q-man beata here," he added leaning over the chess board in concentration. "It's Hilde," Sally said, and Duo rushed over and grabbed the phone. "Give it to me, give it to me," he said and Sally relinquished the phone to him. "Baka, chasing after weak onnas like that," Wufei muttered and left the room, saying it was no use to sit around, and that their bet relied on not interfering. Relena listened to the complaining from next door and when it stopped she got up and got her computer and sure enough Hilde called. "Did you get it," Relena asked failing to keep her composure. "Yes I did," Hilde said smirking proudly. "Noin took back off towards the office, and Zechs just took off apparently." Hilde shrugged. "Thanks," Relena said and turned off the communications. "Just great," she fumed in fake anger. Noin had gone back to the office, Zechs had most likely gone after her, and the guys were refusing to help. Exactly who or what they were protecting was a mystery. To her it didn't make sense not to tell her about these things, but they weren't telling her. Noin stood patiently behind the door, and tried to stay awake. If the old lady didn't show up soon, she'd probably pass out from exhaustion or boredom, take your pick. She smiled as she heard the key turn in the lock and the door began to open. 'Finally,' she thought and watched the door shut behind the woman who was still oblivious to her presence as she walked towards her desk. Noin didn't let her reach it instead covering the woman's nose and mouth with a knockout. Her hearbeat raced as the woman fought back, and she gasped as she received a hard elbow to the stomach, but the woman went limp, and Noin carried her to the sofa. She stood back and looked at the woman, no matter how many times she had to do something like this it still unnerved her a little, but she needed the upperhand in dealing with the old grinch.
