“Oh, God! Quatre, answer me, please!” Trowa pleaded through the blocked door.

 

“Do you keep the bathroom window locked?” Duo asked, “Can we get in through there?”

 

“Quatre doesn't like the cold linoleum . . .” Trowa shook his head, his frustration and near panic written on his face. The braided boy feared that his banged friend might even be sick. “He keeps the window closed. . .”

 

“But is it locked?” Duo pressed.

 

“I-I don't know. . .” Trowa moaned, hitting his head against the bathroom door repeatedly. “Quatre, please. . .”

 

With a slight frown, the braided boy rested his hand against the taller boy's shoulder, restraining him from banging his head again. “Tro, I know you're worried as hell, but you can't lose it.” He warned. “I want you to stay right here. I'm going to go outside and see if I can't get in through the window.”

 

“How?” Trowa questioned, raising an eyebrow slightly.

 

“Hey!” Duo tossed him a manic grin, “It's me -Master of thievery and stealth. I'll be in and out in no time. Why don't you call Sally? She might be needed.”

 

“Be careful, Duo. . .” The banged boy warned, “Hiiro will never forgive me if anything happened to you.”

 

“Yeah. . . at the moment though, I really don't care what Hiiro does.” The boy frowned grimly, “I still can't believe that he'd follow even those orders. . .” he sighed, before plastering on his smirk again. “See ya on the other side!”

“You, Kisa and I are the only ones who retain any knowledge of that abomination.” Mr. Winner said sternly. “It is a secret that we must take to our graves.”

 

“Father, isn't this a little harsh?” Iria tried to reason, “She's just a little girl, and a member of this family.”

 

“Iria, I tried to give her a chance, but she is just too dangerous.” He sighed warily and rubbed at his temples, trying to ward of the migraine that was beginning to set in. “Winner Enterprises cannot afford the bad publicity associated with her behavior.”

 

“She is your daughter!” Iria snapped.

 

“Not anymore.”

 

“Father. . .” Kisa spoke up, “What will happen to her now?”

 

“She will remain in the institution for the remainder of her life.”

“Come on, Quat. . .” Duo coaxed, splashing water onto his friend's pale face. “You're giving Tro a heart-attack. . .”

 

“Please, Koi. . .” Trowa whispered, his hand tightly wrapped around the smaller boy's.

 

“Sally is on her way, correct?” Duo asked, casting his distraught friend a glance. Trowa merely nodded in response, his mouth forming a grim expression, while his eyes were a turbulent storm of emotion. “He'll be just fine!” The braided boy tried to encourage, “He's stronger than he looks.”

 

“I know he's strong. . .” The banged boy whispered, “But I need him to wake up. . .Please, Quatre. . .”

 

The blonde groaned slightly, his face contorting in discomfort before his brilliant eyes fluttered open.

“QUATRE!” the boys exclaimed.

 

The smaller boy gasped in surprise when the taller boy assaulted him with a hug. He could feel the normally stoic boy's body shudder with the force of his sobs as the banged boy rained kisses on his face.

 

“Duo?” he whispered in a meek and groggy voice. “What happened? Why are we in the bathroom?”

 

“We were hoping you could tell us.” The braided boy sighed with relief.

 

“Well. . . I came in to lie down. . . and I felt. . . I felt a presence. . . It was familiar yet a stranger to me. . . My head started to spin. . . And. . .” the blonde's eyes grew wide and fearful, “Someone was with me! In the room! She was laughing at me. . . I don't know what happened after that. . .”

 

“Did you recognize her?” Trowa whispered as he fought to get himself under control.

 

 

“Actually. . . She did look familiar. . . but more than that. . . she felt familiar. . . I can't explain it.” He murmured. “She acted like she was after something. . .”

 

“Wonder what it could have been. . .?” Duo pondered.

 

Trowa watched the conversation in silence, before stepping forward and sweeping the smaller boy off his feet.

 

“Trowa?” the blonde questioned.

 

“Sally is on her way.” He replied, lying the boy down onto their bed.

 

“I won't argue.” Quatre whispered quietly, snuggling deeper into his Koi's embrace. “I'm so sorry, Trowa!”

 

“I know. . . I know. . .” The banged boy reassured, kissing the top of the boy's forehead. “We'll beat this, Quat. I promise.”

“I've located his residence.” Isis reported into her wrist-com. “Right now, he's accompanied by two other guys. As soon as he's alone, I'll nab him.”

 

“Excellent.” His voice replied. “Your daughter appreciates your resourcefulness in completing this mission.”

 

“LEAVE MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THIS!” Isis shouted into the radio, “You leave her alone!”

 

“Don't worry. She's perfectly safe. . . as long as you do as you're told.” His haughty smirk could be heard though the line.
