Chapter Two

Barrel of A Gun: Gundam Wing Fanfic

Disclaimer: I own nothing but a few of the poems and song, and Cassidy and her mother of course, then some that are in here. Though I wished I owned Gundam Wing, I don't. :'(

A/N: If there is a bit of OOCness, don't send me a flame or anything hateful. It hurts ya know. Well, it may not be IC because I haven't seen Gundam Wing in a loooong while and I just got finished watching Endless Waltz. OH! And if I have Duo's blood type wrong, please tell me…I'm not that good in this kinda stuff. And this takes place five years after the series started so SUSH!

"Trowa, there is no need for you to be distant from us. Cassidy is really a nice girl." Relena had noticed that Trowa was somewhat distant. Medley had taken a liking to him and was making an effort to try get him to play with her. "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you come over and talk with us, unless you're afraid like Duo was." Cassidy looked up from her guitar and matched her cobalt blue eyes with his dark green eyes, searching for an answer. "We're more alike than you think. My mother is a druggie and doesn't even know that I'm alive unless she hears me singing on the local radio and I lost both my brother and father before I had a chance to know what the world was like."

"Cassidy, please stay out of a banking of the past." Trowa's remark was a bit harsh but Cassidy could tell that there was something about her that made his trust waver.

An hour later, Cassidy had gotten Trowa to come over and sit with them. The rain had continued into the early night as they talked, and now that it was almost seven, Relena wanted to head back.

"It's been fun, really Cassidy; give me a call sometime alright?" Relena gave her friend a quick hug and headed out to the car, petting Medley on the head as she left.

"It was nice meeting you Trowa, Relena kept talking about how much she wanted me to meet you." Cassidy smiled and leaned against the wall opposite of the door. "If you ever need to talk, or need someone to trust, I'll be here, and Medley would like it if you came by some time."

"Thank you, I will keep that in mind." Trowa bowed his head slightly and exited, but stopping to pet Medley, who gave a slight whimper as he left.

"Relena, have you ever thought about running a DNA test on Cassidy?" Trowa was stopped at a stop sign as they headed back to the Estate. "She reminds me a lot of Duo and its not just her personallity that gets me, its her apperatance."

"I have thought about, but she wanted to wait until her mother was stable. She's scheuled to come in Monday." Relena stared out into the black night and noticed something. "Its snowing."

"What?" Trowa leaned forward onto the steering wheel and looked at the sky. Sure enough, it was snowing. "It looks like the rain wanted to take a different shape."

"Miss Relena, you have a message for the DNA department." Came her secretary's voice as she went into her office. "I think it's the testing about Cassidy. I really hope she finds the rest of her family, or maybe just someone to trust. That girl is so alone at night."

"Thanks, I'll look into it." Relena smiled and walked into her office, where Quatre was sitting in the corner reading.

"Good morning, Miss Relena." Quatre greeted her with a smile.

"Good morning, Quatre." Relena walked over to her desk and resting on her daily paper work was a brown envelope from the DNA department with Cassidy's picture and age. "Let's see who you are, Cassidy."

~~~~~~***~~~~~~

Relena's mouth dropped open. Duo? Cassidy is related to Duo? Well that would explain why they fight like siblings. She picked up the phone and dialed Cassidy's number. Come on, Cassidy, pick up the phone. Nothing but an answering machine. `You have reached the answering machine of Cassidy and Medley, I am not able to answer because its Sunday, and I'm at the rehab center talking with my mother, please leave a message.'

"Erg… well Cassidy, your DNA results are in and you may want to see them, so stop by or give me a call. Relena." Placing the phone back on its table, Relena sat back down. On Sundays, Cassidy was at the rehab talking to her mother like mothers and daughters do.

"What cell member are you here to see?" A guard at the front desk asked as Cassidy entered.

"Holli Ann Maxwell" Cassidy knew the answer already but she didn't say anything. It was strange enough seeing a teenage woman in the rehab but it was also sad. A girl not being recognized by her mother is almost too much for anyone to handle.

"Forth floor, cell number 17786."

"Thank you." Cassidy made her way to the elevator, trying to hold herself together. Floor four is for the alcoholics and druggies. While doing this, she hadn't been paying attention and ran into someone.

"Hey doll face, you should watch where you're going." A pair of strong hands caught her. "Now what would a beautiful girl such as yourself have to do here?" Cassidy looked up into Duo's cobalt eyes.

"My mother is here. I come here every Sunday."

"I see, Relena sent me to get you, though I don't know why." Duo rubbed the back of his neck with one hand and rested the other on his hip. "She told me that you needed to go to the Estate after you leave here."

"Alright, I need to go see my mother, but if you'd like to come you're welcome. Its amazing what cocaine and alcohol can do to a mother." Cassidy went to the elevator as Duo followed behind her. Pressing the fourth floor button, she leaned against the wall. "I must warn you though; she can get out of hand."

The elevator door opened and they stepped out into the white hallways filled with screaming. Cassidy noticed that Duo fell behind a bit but she stopped and waited until he was next to her.

"Don't stare, it makes them jumpy and they'll think you're here to take them to hell." Cassidy laughed as she saw the face he made. "This way." She headed down a hallway that had many barred and locked doors.

"What's with this hallway? It's like something from a horror movie." Duo looked around and looked at a particular cell, number 17786, the one that Cassidy had stopped at.

"It's for the patients' protection, but no one can save my mother." Cassidy put her hand on the window as her gaze softened. "Holli Ann Morissette-Maxwell, round the clock guarding, highly medicated, and year round cell."

"Don't ya think that's a little too much? I mean, she's only human." Duo looked at Cassidy from the corner of his eye and noticed her melancholy look.

"She's not just human; she's a mother of two and a widow. Let's go before she wakes and blames me for her state." Cassidy looked at her mother for a moment or two longer then left. "She's better here than at home, at least here she can sleep without worrying."

"You care a lot about her, why?" Duo caught up with her as they entered the main hallway. "I've seen some kids whose parents or older siblings that gave up long ago."

"She's all I have left, and last Christmas I swore to find my brother before this Christmas." Cassidy sighed and closed her eyes, stress visible on her face. "The first snow fall was last night."
