The Truth will set You Free

 

The rest of the week passed quietly. Wufei and Malcom avoided Kyle whenever the man popped out of the woodwork. The man wiggled out a 30-day pass from Commander Une and situated himself outside their office. When the time came for them to leave the office, Wufei stuck close to Malcom's side. Kyle trailed them everywhere, never confronting them but never letting them leave his sight. As the days past Wufei began noticing the bags under Kyle's red eyes, the slumped shoulders and pain filled eyes. Malcom had gotten so fed up with tripping ove the man that he snagged Wufei and gave him a deep kiss. Once when the two entered the bathroom, Wufei's hand playing with the hair at the nape of Malcom's neck, he saw the tears spilling down the ashen cheeks.

 

Wufei sat Malcom down. “We need to talk with Agent Jones. I believe something more is going on then what we know.” Malcom took off and refused to talk to him the rest of the day. Finally with some convincing Malcom and Kyle sat facing each other across the kitchen table at Wufei's house. Complete and utter silence. Neither one willing to make the first move and Wufei wondered which one to hit first. Thankfully for Jones as Wufei decided on him, he began to speak.

 

“Five months ago Commander Marrick gave me the assignment to bring down the drug cartel in San Francisco. We had Agents working on the case for three years but they needed someone on the inside.” He took a breath and shot a quick glance at Malcom's face.

 

“I played the part of a spoiled rich boy with the connections back east. You were never suppose to even know anything about the case until it was over, it was that top secret.” He stared at his clenched fists and continued. “But there was a leak on the inside. We found out who it was pretty quickly, after all she didn't do a very good job covering her tracks for an Agent.”

 

Malcom sat up straight. “She?”

 

Kyle locked eyes with his former lover, “Yes she. The same she that I had to fake a romantic interest in.” He gave a half-hearted chuckle. “The higher ups were suppose to keep you busy so you wouldn't get in the way. Somehow she found out about our relationship and was threatening to have you killed. God baby I couldn't let that happen.” Tears streamed down both their faces as Wufei got up to grab a box of tissues. “It nearly killed me to have to say those things to you but it would have killed me if you were murdered. I did the only thing I could think of and broke it off with you. I never thought that you would move across the country. After the arrest I went back to our place to explain everything to you but you were already gone. You and all your clothes. Everything but what I ever gave you. Even your ring.” Kyle reached into his pocket and pulled out a thick gold band right from his shirt pocket. Wufei was close enough to read the inscription on the inside.

 

“Two Hearts Now One

Never to be Separated”

 

 

Wufei swallowed past the lump in his throat, damn that was sweet. With his hands shaking, Kyle laid the ring down on the table. For the first time the other two noticed the matching ring on Kyle's finger. “But I was too late following you and now you met someone else.” He gave Wufei a watery smile. “But that's a good thing really because I left in the middle of the pre-trial motions and Commander Marrick is threatening jail time unless I quit.”

 

“Who was the girl?” Malcom asked playing around with the ring.

 

“Agent Mary Thomas.”

 

Malcom looked up surprised, “Thomas? That's Marrick's daughter. How did he not know what she was into?”

 

“I didn't know she was his daughter. She doesn't look anything like him.”

 

Wufei frowned, something didn't sound right. “What happened to the other Agents on the case?” Kyle leaned back in his chair.

 

“Agents Brown and Rafe are currently in the hospital with bullets wounds. And Agent Miller, the man that I was suppose to be working with is dead. He was shot by Marrick when we crashed the drug sale. Marrick said that Miller was crooked and was planning to shot me.” He frowned, “Come to think of it, Miller did pull a gun but it wasn't pointed at me but Marrick. Huh wonder if Marrick found out Miller was on to him.”

 

“Do you still have the information on the case?”

 

Kyle looked up confused, “ya it was in my duffel when I left so I ended up bringing it with me.”

 

“May I see it?” Wufei asked moving to Kyle's side.

 

“Um yeah.” He reached down to the duffel bag at his feet. “Sure.”

 

Wufei grabbed it and headed off for his room. “I'll leave you two to catch up. Don't forget to tell him what's really going on between us Malcom.” As Wufei closed his door, he heard Kyle ask, “What does he mean?”

 

Later that night Wufei closed the file on the case. He was right. Something wasn't adding up. Half these leads couldn't have come from the evidence that had been collected, they could only of come from someone who knew where to look. Someone on the inside. He would need help with this. Nothing bothered him more then dirty cops. He knew just who to call to help get it settled. The phone picked up after the second ring.

 

“Thanks for calling Maxwell's place for erotic delights. Have a credit card handy for quick service.”

 

Wufei sighed, “Were do you come up with your ideas?”

 

Duo laughed, “You just have no sense of humor Wu-man. So what can I do for you?”

“I need to speak to Heero is he available?” Wufei watched as Duo shrugged over the vid-phone.

 

“Don't know just a sec. HEERO!” Duo shouted, a grin plastered across his face. Heero popped into view dripping wet, a towel hung low on his hips.

 

“Wufei wants to talk to you.” Duo chuckled as he side-stepped the punched headed his way. Wufei smiled as the second Heero turned to face the phone, Duo's eyes hungrily fixated on Heero's butt.

 

“What do you need Wufei?” He told them about the situation he was in as he faxed over copies of all the documents he had. Duo read them over as Wufei wound down.

“If I'm right, then the leak goes higher up and more lives are in danger then just the one out in my living room.”

 

“I think your right Fei.” Duo said handing the papers over to Heero. “It shouldn't be to hard to figure out. And if it is who you think it is and I agree, he will get what's coming to him. Call Une and see if she can't get some security on the men in the hospital. Their probably going to be next. We'll look over these and bring it before Une tomorrow, you guys can join us.”

 

Wufei nodded before signing off and crashing on his bed. Now he had other problems to face. Trowa and Quatre were due back tomorrow night and somehow he didn't think they'd take to kindly to knowing Malcom had spent the week there. Well hell, he'd deal with it as it came.
