Title: And We Thought The War Was Over...

 

Disclaimer: see previous chapter, cause the status hasn't changed, though I wish it did

 

Pairings: 1x2x1 (past and future), the rest you will have to sit back and wait for my muses to decide, as they are currently fighting it out... Oh there is a reference to 3x4x3 if you know where to look.

 

Warnings: not really a warning but chapters are POW by characters. Wufei and Heero being WAY out of character, maybe other pilots also for whole fic. This chapter is in Wufei's POW.

 

Thanks: To my beta Kat for her correcting my grammar, one-winged-shinigami for your reviews and thank you to all who viewed my fic (even if you didn't review it).

And We Thought The War Was Over...

Chapter 2 (Wufei's POW)

 

“So is he coming?”

 

“As far as I know he is," I tell my partner.

 

“What did he say?”

 

“He said he would call if he can't make it and also for ME to take notes!! Why is he needed at this meeting for...? I thought Barton and Winner and even Yuy were being invited was because they are reserve Preventors.”

 

“Ah I am not sure but I am not the person to answer that question, Une is.”

 

“I know Sally, I know, Maxwell said that Yuy might have called him today.”

 

“Heero called Duo?? And what do you mean 'might have called' you either call or you don't.”

 

“He said that the guy Hilde called Mr Tanner only said one word to him and it sounded familiar"

 

“Said one word, what word?

 

“Duo"

 

“That's odd, look into this Mr Tanner and if no info comes up go into the M & S telephone records and see if you can get the number.”

 

“Alright and what if I do find the number or info?”

 

“Call them, it might really be Heero.” Sally walks out of the room.

 

“Right," I turn to the search database and types in `Mr Tanner' then press enter.

 

Just as I move to do the report on my last assignment, the telephone rights, so I turn around and pick up the phone.

 

“Preventors, Chang speaking.”

 

“Hey Wufei.”

 

“Maxwell?” I question, “Come up with a good reason already?”

 

“Ah no I am coming but I wanted to get a profile on a Mr McKenzie for when I come in, ok?”

 

“Ah sure no problem, I will get that for you as soon as I finish this search.”

 

“Whom are you searching for?”

 

“Sally said to run your 'Mr Tanner' through the system to see if we can identify who it is.”

 

“Oh ok then but it would be easier to access our phone records though, and since you're my Preventors contact you already have the company's permission.”

 

“I will do that after I have found nothing in the searches, what does this Mr McKenzie want to purchase?”

 

“You do that and he wants to purchase an MS Core.”

 

“MS Core?”

 

“Yeah so do an exclusive search, I want EVERYTHING.”

 

“Ok, just don't sell any MS parts until after the meeting"

 

“Don't worry, we won't because I am not in the office anymore and only I sell anything that could possibly be made into a weapon of mass destruction.”

 

“So where are you?”

 

“Shopping center on L2, upstairs section at the moment if you really MUST know, thought I'd get something more suitable for L1 and I also called so you can make arrangements for me to be picked up from the shuttle port.”

 

“What time?”

 

“How long is the journey?”

 

“An hour"

 

“Hmm are you guys an hour ahead or behind?”

 

“Behind"

 

“Ok since I am catching the shuttle that leaves at 6.00 my time then that means 6.00 your time is when I would arrive"

 

“Morning or night? And what day?”

 

“Monday morning, all day on Sunday I have to go to the scrapyard to prepare an order that needs to go out early Monday morning and I need to be there to supervise everyone, otherwise I would of come on Sunday"

 

“Okay, 0600 Monday and how long are you staying?”

 

“Well I will catch the 1200 shuttle your time back on Tuesday which means I will be back here at 1400 hours my time, as I have a company meeting I must attend and it can not be postponed as it was organized a few months ago and we are getting some of our off colony workers here for.”

 

“That is alright. Why are you staying over night and where?”

 

“Hilde said it would be the hotel near your HQ, and I am staying overnight cause I really need a break from all this work, I have to organize to have a vacation soon otherwise my beautiful braid is coming to turn gray and fall out.”

 

“Right seems you now have everything organized just make sure you get enough sleep and I could always cut off the braid so then you only need to worry about it turning gray.”

 

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, you touch my braid and I will kill ya, you know that. I am only going clubbing for a few hours with a few friends tomorrow night I should be well rested by then anyways, so anyway you are in business hours so I'll_"

 

“I didn't find a Mr Tanner here so I will run your Mr McKenzie now for you while I go into your company phone records.”

 

“Oh yeah, if that is Heero write the phone number on the bottom of the profile and I will call him sometime, but anyways this is costing me more then the trip over there so I will go now ok!"

 

“Sure Maxwell, I found the record and your McKenzie one so I will print that our and call the number anyway, see you on Monday at 0600, Maxwell"

 

“Yep till Monday, see ya *click*"

 

I place the receiver back in its cradle ended the call from my end and look at the phone records finding the Preventors phone number I go one up and I pick up the receiver again and dial the number

 

"*Ring Ring Ring*"

 

I wait for someone to answer.

 

"*Ring Ring Click* Yuy?”

 

“Yuy you do realize that you just fucked up right?”

 

“Chang? Why do you say that?” he replies sounding slightly confused.

 

“Cause I was looking though the M & S phone records after Maxwell said he thought you called him, Hilde told him it was a Mr Tanner.”

 

“Oh... I forgot for a moment that I was in an alias on this phone so that is how I fucked up?”

 

“Yes, why did you call Maxwell?” I asked with a bit of hesitation.

 

Heero replies quietly, “I just wanted to hear his voice.”

 

“Then why not go see him and talk to him in person for you to hear him.”

 

“He wouldn't want to talk to me," he answers just as quietly as before.

 

“I know for a fact that he does_ anyways Une wants to see us Monday at 0900_ Duo is going to be there, he has already organized to have time off and plans to stay overnight.”

 

“I will be there_ where is Duo staying?”

 

“Near HQ at a hotel," I answer while leaning back into my chair.

 

“Then I could go see him Sunday night.”

 

“Yuy he is staying overnight on Monday and is catching the 1200 shuttle on Tuesday.”

 

“Why isn't he coming on Sunday for? Which shuttle is he catching to get to L1?”

 

“He is going to catch the 0600 local time shuttle here," after talking I switch the phone to the other ear to hear Heero's reply.

 

“Ok well can you organize accommodation for me?”

 

“Sure when you are going to arrive and how long are you going to stay?”

 

“Hn... I will arrive tomorrow if I leave today, so plan it for then and I will stay until Wednesday when I can get a private shuttle to where I am.”

 

“Where are you anyways because we need the contact info to call you.”

 

“I will give you all the information you want when I see you.”

 

“Alright, but talk to Duo when you either call or see him or talk to him if he calls you.”

 

“I will talk to him when either I call see and/or get called by him.”

 

“Thanks and try making it BEFORE the meeting," I say in a voice that leaves no room to argue with me

 

“Alright, before the meeting," he replies cautiously, and then asks, “He didn't change his cell number did he?”

 

“No he has still got the same number as before.”

 

“Ok I will give him a call later *click*"

 

“I place the receiver back on its handle before going back to work on the mission report I tried to start earlier.

 

After a few minutes I hear a voice at the door to my office, “So Wufei did that Mr Tanner turn out to be Heero or what?” The voice from the doorway spoke

 

I turn around to face the speaker and noticed that it was my partner Sally, “Yeah it was Yuy and he is coming to the meeting as well.”

 

Sally starts to smile, “That's great, that he's coming and that we finally found him after all these years," she then asks with a look of concern on her face. “Is he going to talk to Duo at all when he is here?

 

“He said he would, let's just hope he does," I answer

 

“Hmm, well lets get back to work so Une doesn't fire us for 'slacking off', we have a large case to work on plus going over the statement from our cases that are in court and file the ones that are closed as well as write mission reports for the assignment we recently had to do, hmm even arrange a few things for the upcoming meeting with the guys.”

 

“Your right, I am going to finally get started on the report if you give me your notes on the case while you can file away those closed cases, after I finish that we can go over the statements and we can both take a copy of the notes home and look at them over the weekend if there isn't enough office hours left. If the filing to too much just leave the rest cause we can come in first thing on Monday to do them"

 

“Wufei, aren't you picking Duo up from the Shuttle port at 6?”

 

“Ah... hmm it needs to be done before the meeting though.”

 

“Yeah it does, we need more staff just to handle filing the closed cases. When is Quatre getting here?”

 

“Hmm... About... an hour after Maxwell and before you ask Barton is arriving with Winner.”

 

“Ok but what about Heero?”

 

“Yuy? Hmm he is arriving tomorrow, so I will go meet him, if I can I will get him to pick Maxwell up from the shuttle port, since he did seem interested in knowing where Maxwell is going to stay, and that would solve the problem of picking Maxwell up.”

 

“Hmm yes you do that," Sally replies in a firm voice as she gets ready to leave my office to return to hers.

 

“Alright, I can organize Yuy a car for him to take Maxwell around in and also for his stay here when I get home tonight.”

 

“I will get the notes for the case now so you can do that report and then I will go down to the file room to file the closed cases, come get me when you finish, that alright?”

 

“Oh course it is alright, while you do that I will write my half of the report then when you give me the notes I will add in anything you noticed that I didn't and then print it then we can both sign it.”

 

Sally leaves the room to go to her office desk while I get started writing the report. After a few minutes Sally comes back and hands me the notes, I nod to her while taking them from her hands, then she leaves the room to head down to the file room, while I turn back to write the report.
