A.C. 198 Foxwood Shipping Industries L4

Cold sapphire eyes glared hatefully at the large man that threatened her.

"Just hand it over, Kid, and no one will get hurt. . ." He reached for her.

"Bite me!" she spat as she kicked at him. Her heel connected solidly with his jaw.

"BITCH!" He swore. She took the opportunity to slip past him and out the door that lead to the wide open roof. "You can run. . ." He called after her, "But you can't hide! I'll Find you!"

"Kiss my ass!" she yelled back, before disappearing over the edge of the room and into the darkness of the night.

"Damn!" He swore, peering over the edge for any sign of the girl. With a frustrated snarl, he turned away from his search and whipped out his cell phone. After pressing speed dial, he barked into it, "This is Dawg, the girl got away."

Hidden on a window sill, under the cover of a balcony, sapphire eyes glistened dangerously up at the shadowed figure. "Later, Loser." She whispered haughtily, flipping golden curls over her shoulder. She grinned, as she looked at the disk in her hand. Feeling quite pleased with herself, she blew a kiss to a security camera and escaped.

A.C. 197 Preventer's Safe House Earth

"Come on, Quat!" The braided boy complained, when the smaller boy had landed on his but for the twentieth time. "It's like you're not even trying!"

The blonde groaned as he pushed himself back to his feet. He glared as he wiped the sweat from his brow. "Give me a break, Duo!" He argued, "This isn't an easy move to learn!"

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. . . ." The boy dismissed, reaching a hand out to his friend, helping him up. He wore a wide, mischievous grin across his face, "You're just lucky I'm the one who is teaching you and not Wu Fei. He'd show no mercy."

Quatre nodded in agreement before neatly flipping the American over his shoulder and across the room. It was a perfect performance of the move that Duo had spent nearly three and a half hours trying to teach him.

Twin violet orbs looked up at the blonde, wide with utter shock, "What the Hell?!"

"Gomen, Duo . . ." the smaller boy was blushing sheepishly, as he reached out to help the braided boy, "But the only time that move would work would be if it were unexpected. . . especially if used against someone bigger than you."

"Are you telling me that you already knew the attack?" Duo frowned.

"Iie, he didn't." A stoic voice interrupted.

Quatre blushed and smiled towards the banged boy, "Ohayo, Trowa."

The green eyed boy approached and offered a smile of his own, before turning back to Duo, "But he had learned by the third time you threw him."

"I just couldn't show you while you were expecting it. . ."

"Right. . ." The braided boy scratched the back of his head.

"Don't get yourself down, Duo." The blonde smiled as he took Trowa's hand, "besides, I believe breakfast is ready."

The braided boy perked at the word, "'Fast! Alright!"

"Leave some for the others!" Quatre yelled after him as the energetic boy ran from the room. Quatre sighed, and started to follow.

"Quatre. . ." Trowa reached for and grasped the boy's slender wrist.

Another sigh left the boy's lips. "Please, Trowa. . ." He whispered, not looking at the taller boy.

"What happened this morning, it. . ."

". . .was nothing. . ." Quatre interrupted.

"You were catatonic for twenty minutes!" Trowa turned the smaller boy and gripped him harshly, "That was not nothing and please don't insult my intelligence by trying to convince me other wise!"

"Trowa. . . I. . ." the smaller boy trembled as he feebly shook his head in denial.

"You scared me, Quatre." Trowa whispered, his tone soft and sad, "I couldn't reach you. . ."

"I'm sorry. . . I. . ." The blonde's words were cut off as he was drawn in a gentle and loving embrace.

"I don't want to lose you, Quatre."

"You won't, Trowa. . ." Quatre promised, "I'm not going anywhere."

"I want to help you. . ."

"I know." He looked up and smiled, "And I promise, If I need help, I'll let you know. . . okay? I promise."

Trowa sighed, "What other choice do I have?"

Quatre shrugged. "I couldn't tell you." He then stood on his tiptoes and gave the taller boy a small kiss, "I'll see you later, okay?"

"Later? Where are you going?"

"I have a meeting that I'm late for, now and then one later on with Wu Fei, Duo and the representative from Foxwood Shipping Industries. . . I should be home after dinner."

"Quatre, you need to take it easy. . ."

"Don't be ridiculous. I just went through three hours of having my butt kicked." Quatre shrugged, "This will be a vacation compared to that. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to take a quick shower and leave." And with that, he pushed by his love and headed out the door.

**************************************************************** *****************

The rush of water felt good on his back. The butt kicking he had endured had left his muscles sore and bruised.

`Sometimes. . .' He silently wished, `Sometimes I wish my life wasn't so hectic. . . it would be nice not to have to leave training to go to boring business meetings. . . to be able to relax with my friends. . .'

Quatre then sighed and mentally kicked himself, "It's never going to happen, and if I don't hurry, I'm going to be more than fashionably late. . ."
