Part 3: “She left, the hospital.  Did you hear that Miliardo?” Relena said turning from the window stained with drops of rain.  “Do you know where she could have gone?  I was never even able to say thank-you to her.  I wish I could have, and at the very least had the chance to apologize.”  She plopped into her chair and stared at her brother, who diverted his eyes rather quickly from his sisters harsh gaze. “You now I did what I had to Relena.  I couldn’t let her put your life at risk.”  Zechs spoke calmly, keeping his eyes directed at the fire, in the lounge.  He didn’t believe what he said, but he said it anyway.  The pain he currently bore was more than he could stand, simply because he had brought it upon himself, and hurt the ones most dear to him. “You can’t honestly believe that.  Noin would never endanger another human’s life, and you know it better than anyone.  And that’s completely besides the point that I have already told you it was my fault.  I wanted the walk Miliardo, you can’t blame her for such things, when she has no control over them.  It’s not like she knew what was going to happen.” ‘If only I could tell you that I have forgiven her, Relena, but that would only give a reason to forgive me, and that I can’t have.  I should leave soon, the problem is when,’ Zechs thought as he listened to his sister speak.  Getting up he turned and left the lounge for his room, he wanted isolation, maybe it would help him to think better, he thought as he left. “Miliardo, augh, where are you going?” Relena asked from her chair.  He ignored her, and kept silent as he walked down the hallway to his chamber.  She sighed fully relaxing herself in her chair again, her brother would simply never learn to allow his emotions.  He was in most regards she thought stiffer then her off and on again boyfriend Heero Yuy.  Which suddenly reminded her of the preventers, specifically a woman by the name of Sally Po.  Relena had called her right after she had found out that Noin was missing from the hospital.  “Maybe, she’s having better luck finding her”, Relena whispered and turned back to her book, Dragonsinger, by Anne McCaffrey.  Noin glanced warily up from her laptop’s screen.  She had been staring at it now for hours.  While helping Relena she had stumbled upon her unfortunate would be assassin, but unfortunately that wasn’t all she had stumbled upon.  After she had gone to the red planet she had hoped for some rest, but it didn’t seem like it would be coming.  The assassin was apparently part of a larger group, now after her.  Although it would appear, that they didn’t know what she looked like.  Noin had been careful to delete all her files after the Eve Wars, and apparently she had done a good job of it.  She slowly slid from her uncomfortable position and entered her small kitchen in the apartment she was renting and put the kettle on for tea.  Amazingly enough she had picked that odd habit up from Quatre.  Lu couldn’t help but laugh at that thought as she tried to relax against the counter.  The young boy had always been drinking tea in Cinq, and on Libra as well, and it had rubbed off on her.  Diverting her thinking back to the problem at hand, she ran over the information she had gathered on the assassin’s organization.  Apparently it had been a part of Oz, that had broken off during the war, finding it more profitable to work as an independent organization.  They recruited the best of the best, and used it to their advantage, and now that Noin thought of it she wondered how the Preventers hadn’t traced any fishy business revolving around politics to this organization.  It wouldn’t last for long however.  She had contacted Water, Sally Po, and was trying to figure out a way to solve her problem, the organization which seemed to lack a name.  Sally had promised to look into it for her, and she was now awaiting a call back.  Water had also been kind enough to delete all her info at Preventer Headquarters as well, and keep where she was a secret.  The two had become best friends while they were working together, and neither the Terra Forming Project or her being headguard had been able to end that bond.  They seemed to be in constant contact, and now it was even more important, because if Sally didn’t hear from her everyday, she was to expect the worse. The kettle boiled, the loud noise breaking her from her train of thought, and she made her tea.  Swirling the liquid she silently wondered what her best friend, Zechs Merquise, was doing.  She hadn’t been able to say goodbye before leaving, and regretted it, but calling him now would complicate things, and she couldn’t have that.  Noin took a sip of her tea, and sighed, she had left her only gift from Zechs, a pendant at the hospital, but Sally had promised she’d try and track it down, and Sally kept her word.
