Disclaimer- I don't own gundam wing…

Zechs had pulled a gun on Stein. "I .. `found' these." He threw a stack of papers at Stein, "There prove you came here, to a peace conference trying to cause war. You planned to have my sister, myself, Noin and Yuy assassinated to help cause war. War that you could grow fat again on."

"no! I never!…"

Chapter 8

Stein stared at the barrel of Zechs' gun, his face that shade of purple that was fast becoming his trademark facial expression.

"Ze…Zechs!!" The fat man looked up at Zechs with a pleading expression, "Please!! Zechs! Let's not be hasty!…"

Zechs cocked his gun

"But!..But!..we were friends remember!? You said so yourself!..You wouldn't kill a friend..would you…?"

Zechs' stoney face was broken by a twitching eyebrow.

Stein peered eagerly at hi, "yes! We all went to Victoria base remember? You, me and Noin!…"

Zechs didn't move the gun, which had begun to shake rapidly.

Stein, thinking he was weakening Zechs' resolve, continued, a forgiving smile on his face.

"It's okay Zechs. We all make mistakes. I forgive you…AHH!"

Zechs had leant forward and was shoving the barrel of his gun up against Stein's temple, emitting a low growl.

"FRIENDS!??? YOU!???? AFTER WHAT YOU JUST SAID?!? AFTER YOU MADE ALL THESE PLANS TO HAVE ME AND MY SISTER KILLED!!??…FRIEND!!!??"

"NO!…Zechs!! I would never…it's all a lie! They want you to kill me!! It wasn't my fault!"

Zechs' eyebrow was still twitching. Stein's temple had begun to bleed where the gun was pushing into his skin.

"Zechs!….please! I'll, I'll…do what ever you want!..Just don't shoot me!…You can't kill me!"

Zechs leant closer to Stein bleeding purple face, flinching slightly at Stein breath, "Why? I wanted to blow up the whole of earth remember?"

"..but….but…"

Zechs slowly squeezed the trigger thinking how much he'd enjoy blowing this would be murderer of his sister. A smile crept over his face…

At that moment the door slammed open, revealing Noin and Quatre.

Quatre rushed forward and reached for Zechs' gun.

Noin started across the room, arms folded, face held in a scowl.

Zechs' sighed.

Quatre looked at hi with appealing eyes, "Don't Zechs! He deserves it but if you shoot him you'll be just as bad!"

Noin added, "he's right Zechs. Besides, you've got enough problems as it is. Don't add a murder trial."

Stein looked up at Quatre and Noin, "Yes! That's right! Listen to your friends Zechs!"

Zechs glared at everyone in the room, then suddenly whacked Stein on the head with the butt of his gun.

"Fine!…ruin my fun…"

The editor of the Sanc kingdom's premier newspapers, the Sanc Star and the Daily Mail looked up at the door of his office. Standing in the doorway was a tall thin boy with…weird hair… He walked over to the desk. What was his name again…? He told me his name..some letter…oh yeah, "Mr B?"

The boy smiled and shook the editors hand. "Mr Eriksson."

He sat down and lay a think folder in front of him.

"Oh! You have some more photos? Excellent!"

Mr B smiled, "Yes…and they're a little bit racier than the other ones."

Eriksson reached for the folder, grinning. Mr B pulled it away.

"Hey!?"

"Mr Erikksson, I'd like to discuss..payment."

The editor sunck back in his chair, "Oh. So you've gotten greedy? That didn't take long."

Mr B smiled, "Mr Eriksson, you must remember that I have other people to pay, it's not a case of my greed alone. It's risky getting these little snapshots for you."

"Yeah yeah. How much?"

"Oh, say, 30 million each.. that's 90million, plus a little extra to cover expenses, 100million flat."

"But!…But!! That's 10x the amount we discussed!"

"Yes, it is."

The boy leant forward and pulled a single glossy photo out of the folder. Slowly he held it up, back to the editor across the desk.

Mr B smiled as he saw the way Eriksson was salivating over a single shot.

"I won't sing anything until I see what I'm buying."

" Of course." The boy flipped the large print around.

"OH MY GOD!!"

Eriksson fell of his chair.

"Is that…Is that REAL!?!?"

"yes."

"WHERE ON EARTH DID YOU GET IT!????"

"Like I said, my friends and I have our means."

He flicked the photo back into the folder.

"I..I didn't realise that was.. humanly possible!" The editor clambered back into his chair and reached for a cigarette.

"So, 100mil?"

"..yes…I suppose… But I want all rights over the shots I buy! And you can't sell them to other newspapers."

"Hm, you can have the rights to your shots, but I'll sell any other photos I have to anyone I want. We have a deal?"

"I guess…"

Mr B smiled and handed the folder over to Eriksson.

The editor's eyes widened as he flicked through the photos in it.

"OH MY GOD! I've never seen anything like this!" He looked up at Mr B with new respect, "If you get a hold of anything else, come to me first!"

"sure…"

A lean man and a woman with braids had been standing outside the newspaper headquarters, looking very suss feeding pigeons for half an hour when a third man came out and walked over to them.

The woman rushed up to him, the other man slowly followed her, "So… `Mr B' hee hee, how did it go?"

"Don't mock the name, I was in a hurry.. and I'm not a good liar."

The other man crossed his arms impatiently "Oh shut up the both of you. What happened?"

"You shut up!" the woman put her hands on her hip and glared.

"No! You shut up!"

"No, You!"

"No! you shut up!"

"Noooo..YOU shut up!" the woman glared up at him threatening.

"I'm sorry Sally, that won't work. I'm taller than you now, remember Midget-woman?"

"DON'T SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU…YOU.."

"Hey, both of you shut up." `Mr B' walked calmly in between them and raised his hands, "Or I won't give you the money."

"Hey!"

Sally turned her glare to `Mr B' "Don't even say that! Do you have any idea how much I get paid? It's pathetic!"

"I know what you mean.."

The third man sneered, "No you don't mister-I-date-the-most-eligible-bachelor-in-the-universe-and-have-my-own-fr igging-palace!"

"hey, I'm not dependant person remember? I like to have my own life as well!"

"yes, good for you … `mr b'…" Sally patted her friend on the shoulder.

The other man crossed his arms again and glared ta the other two.

"Excuse me, but I went to a lot of trouble getting those photo's, and you two did nothing so I want my 50% cut. NOW!"

The other two stared at him, sally leapt forward and grabbed his shirt, "WHAT!?50%??!! we agreed to a third each! That's what you're getting! No more no less!"

"Yeah! That's right! 33% each!?"

"No! I have done a hell of a lot more work than either of you two! I'm the one who took all the photo's remember?"

Sally glared at him, "Well I couldn't! I'm not as acrobatic as you two, my expertise lies elsewhere…"

"And I couldn't take the photos!"

"Why not?, ohhh.. that's right! You're stupid hair kept getting in the way of the lens!!!"

"DON'T.MOCK.THE.HAIR!!!!"

Mr B and Sally glared at the man, "ooooooo!!I'm sacred! The big mean david bowie boy and the midget woman are mad at me! Oh no!"

"That's it! You're going down little boy!!" With that Sally launched herself at the man, managing to surprise him and knock him off his feet.

`Mr B' meanwhile fished a compact mirror from his pocket, "what's wrong with my hair??"

"get off me you stupid woman!!"

"no! You're staying in this head-lock until you say you're sorry!"

"AS if midget woman!"

`Mr B' ignored them and adjusted his fringe, "who's david bowie? Have you been watching those ancient `veedios' again?"

He got no reply however, only a muffled grunt from the boy pinned against the pavement by Sally.

"Oh, your no help!.. Sal? Does my hair look fat in this style?"

Sally let go of the sobbing man underneath her, "I think Quatre deserves you…"

Relena sat up groggily and whacked her head on the top on a table, "Ow!"

Heero knelt down and helped her stand, "are you okay?"

"Yeah, fine…wow…what are they doing?"

Heero followed her gaze to where Hilde and Duo were `standing' in the corner of the room.

"Umm…I don't think I want to know…"

Relena tilted her head, an expression of fascination on her face, "hey duo? What are you doing?"

Hilde looked up and screamed, "AHH! You two are still here!" She slapped Duo away from her and ran from the room, blushing crimson. Duo shrugged, and headed for the door with Heero and Relena.
