Every Breath You Take
Chapter 8
>>>>>

Heero understood the trap completely now, he couldn't say that there had been problems at headquarters - he'd already said that everything was ok. And obviously he had been in route when the fight was in progress…

"Err… , you know Relena I have a terrible headache I think I'm going to drink some painkillers and take a nap."

Heero moaned when he stood up and stumbled a little, Relena immediately stood up to assist him. She help him reach the cabin, helped him to bed, covered him with a blanket and went to fetch the painkillers and a glass of water. She gave him the pills with the water and Heero drank them. He closed his eyes and restrained himself from any expression when Relena leaned over and kissed his brow.

*That was close!* He congratulated himself on the avoidance of a dangerous subject. *Might as well take a nap, now that I can sleep with no worries of some 'friend' helping Relena.*

*Poor Heero, he must have a terrible headache after Trowa pounded on him, and then that psycho Catherine bashing him with a stool. What does Trowa see in her? I wanted to help him get the girl, but gads maybe that wasn't such a great idea.*

Relena left Heero alone and went to sit on the control room while she reviewed in her mind the events of the last two weeks. There was something nagging her, some detail that she wasn't seeing, it eluded her for most of the trip. When she finally felt that it was becoming clearer the shuttle's computer announced their proximity to the Earth's atmosphere and Heero immediately appeared to take control of the shuttle. Whatever picture she was forming flew out of her head as she admired Heero's dexterity in managing the shuttle's entry and landing on Earth.

>>>>>>>

*Headache, my ass! Oi, Relena he deserves this, the way he suckers you! Agh!*

But Relena wasn't the only one considering the events of the past two weeks, Duo was also considering what his next move should be or if there should be a next move. He didn't get to see or hear the fight between Trowa and Heero but he could well imagine it. Heero might be exaggerating but he had received his helping of blows, that was obvious, and Trowa couldn't be in better shape.

*Poor Trowa, I guess Catherine must be nursing the poor guy, they haven't come out of that tent in hours. Well, he asked for it! What could have possessed Trowa? He knew there where cameras everywhere!*

*Now what should I do? I don't want to end bludgeoned by Heero! And by now he's not only in the defensive but in the offensive against anyone getting close to Relena, I don't have an excuse for going over there… hum… besides I'm kind of obvious, maybe I should let the guy rest for awhile, yeah! Let him get overconfident again and then wham! Hit Relena with my irresistible charm. He, he, that's it.*

>>>>>>>>

Relena got settled on the Preventers HQ, the first few days where interesting but now she was bored mindless. *What kind of vacation is this?* But the forced inactivity gave her more time to observe the behavior of others and to consider once again that nagging feeling at the back of her mind.

Heero seemed to be trying to keep her away from Quatre, and Quatre was avoiding her like the flu. Why? At first she felt hurt by Quatre's seeming rejection but soon realized that it was Heero's fault, he would glare at Quatre whenever he came between ten feet of her. Could Quatre have told him about the dress incident? Not possible, Quatre was a gentleman he would never comment something like that, specially not with Heero.

And then the pattern took meaning.

Quatre had received a sudden call from Heero needing assistance. Heero was angry with Quatre and wouldn't let him get close to her.

Heero had gone to pick her up without an explanation, why? He had fought with Trowa, why? He had known about the drunks attacking them, how? Had Trowa told him?

Heero always knew when she was in trouble…

*Heero has been spying on me!! Arggg!!! But how?*

Relena knew she needed help with this, but who could she trust? Her brother? Nah, he might be involved, he was kind obsessive with security too. Wufei? Not approachable. Lady Une… yeah! She wasn't one to comment, and she might know about Heero's spying if not, she would know how to get the info.

>>>>>>>

"Lady Une is there a secure room in this building?"

"A secure room? I'd liked to think every room is secure here."

"No, I mean a room where you go to discuss the most sensitive stuff, a room with no bugs."

"Every room is continually swept for bugs but… I think I know what you mean. We have a room that blocks any transmission in or out. Is that what your asking?"

"Yes, that's exactly it! I need to discuss something with you of a very secret nature and I want to be assured of complete privacy."

Lady Une stared at her for awhile, "I see. Well follow me."

>>>>>>>

The next day Lady Une had news for Relena. "Relena would you please accompany me to the 'secure room.'"

Relena nodded and silently followed her. Once inside the room Lady Une sat opposite Relena and wondered how to best impart the news she had. She had already decided to tell her, she owed her the truth, she owed her many things. She inhaled deeply for strength and began.

"Relena, I don't know how to best tell you but I have confirmed your fears, Heero does spy on you but that's not all. I followed the links, he has a transmitter on your person, probably in a piece of jewelry, that one transmits your location and any sound it senses. There is another that captures images, sound and location. That one seems to be in your bedroom, specifically in your bed."

Relena cringed.

"There's more…"

"More?"

"Yes, I did complete search of the system and it seems that someone else has broken into Heero's surveillance and is also receiving the sound and images."

"Who?"

"Duo Maxwell"

"Duo? Duo is in on it with Heero?!"

"I wouldn't say that, is more like Duo is spying on you AND Heero. I'll show you, Duo saved some of the images."

Lady Une took some pictures out of an envelope she carried, and spread them on the table.

"I organized them by date and time, you can see it at the bottom of the picture."

Relena looked at the pictures and blushed. The first one was a picture of her on the restaurant taken from above and displaying a large amount of her chest. The next one was about two hours later of Heero's enraged face. She blushed again remembering the dress and the garden.

*Oh god! Heero knows about that! No wonder Quatre's on his death list.*

Then came the picture of her sitting on Trowa's lap and kissing. *Shit! No wonder he was pounding on Trowa!*

"Relena, what do you want to do about this?"

"I need to analyze this, Lady Une. I can't reach a decision right now but for now let's continue as if nothing has happened."

"Very well. But I want you to consider that even though I know this must have upset you, my analysis of the situation is that Heero has a surveillance on you to protect you, and from his reaction to these past few weeks, I'd say that he has personal feelings towards you too. Duo… I just think he's doing this for some perverted sense of humor he has, not to harm you."

"Thank you, Lady Une. I will consider your words." Relena walked stiffly away to her room.

*Heero! I'm going make you pay for this!*
