Quatre stared at the soup in front of him. He wasn't sure if it was safe. It looked normal enough, but Heero had cooked it…

"Is something wrong?" Heero asked.

Quatre shook his head and picked dipped the spoon in the soup and put it in his mouth. Not bad he thought.

After a few more bites Quatre looked up at Heero, "you don't have to stay here if don't want to."

"But I want to."

Quatre shrugged and took another bite.

He was getting so sleepy. He closed his eyes. He was just going shut them for a moment, really. He would open them any minute. Just a few more seconds and he'd open them back up.

Heero took the bowl from Quatre and began dipped the spoon in it. He gently pushed the spoon in his mouth.

Quatre swallowed, "tired."

"I know, but you have to eat." Heero said as he continued to feed him.

Duo, Wufei and Misty were sitting in Duo's kitchen with. Misty had a pen and paper.

"Who would want to kill Quatre, or for Relina for that matter?" Misty asked.

Duo looked thoughtful, "it would depend on what the person's motives where. He may be targeted for political reasons or a friend or family who wants revenge from someone he killed in the war."

"That narrows it down," Wufie said dryly.

"It has to be someone that knows that Quatre and Heero were out and where they were." Duo said.

"So I'm guessing it's someone he has contact with recently." Misty said.

"And don't forget the phone," Wufie said.

"Do you have it with you?" Misty asked.

Wufie nodded, "I put it in Duo's guest room before going to the preventers. I'll go and get it."

A few moments later Wufie came back with a zip lock bag with the phone in it. He handed it to Misty.

She took it out of the bag and examined it. "I think it's a fake."

"What make you say that?" Duo asked.

"It looks brand new. You told me that Quatre had it when he was about ten, and now he's seventeen. That would make it seven years ago. Not to mention that it was lost in a park so it wouldn't be in mint condition."

"Let me see it," Duo said.

Misty handed it to him and he looked at it for a moment.

"It's new," Duo said. "The metal used on it was just developed five years ago."

"It would also be someone who knows Quatre well enough to know of that story," Misty said.

"Or not," Duo said, "they could of found out about it from one of his twenty-nine sisters."

Misty sighed.

"Having second thoughts?" Wufie asked.

"No," Misty snapped.

"The best place to start is to try and find out where this phone came from," Duo said.

"That could take forever," Misty said. "Thousands, maybe millions of places sell cell phones like that."

Duo grinned, "No, this metal is new and only one shop sells it period. Other places are trying to get the recipe but they're not getting it any time soon."

"Then let's get going," Wufie said.

"Trowa?" Catherine said softly.

Trowa nodded at her and checked over his costume. They were on in about an hour and Trowa wanted to be ready.

"You know you can take some time off, right little brother?"

Trowa nodded, "This is my last show, then I'm going to help the preventers."

Catherine blinked rapidly as if trying not to cry, "please be careful, I don't want to see you hurt again."

Trowa walked up to her and hugged her tightly, "I just got a family, I don't plan on loosing it any time soon."

Catherine hugged back, "call me on all the updates."
