C&C wanted! Needed! Gimme!!
Note: I don’t own the characters of Gundam Wing…any character that I do eventually make is my own. The situation is mine. The characters aint, got that? Don’t sue me!
“Relena.” Hilde said, gently shaking me awake. “It’s nearly 11 o’clock.”
“Already?” I snorted, “Why did you let me sleep that long?”
“You were stressed yesterday, that’s all. So I decided that it would be in your best interest to re-schedule the vid-meeting and sleep. You haven’t gotten much lately, so I let you sleep in.” She said, a kind smile on her features. She lifted my head from the pillow, because in her long speech I had slipped back down to my fluffy down pillow. “Relena, do you want to sleep some more?” she asked, slightly worried. “I know that yesterday scared you, but we found some more information. Do you want me to wait to tell you?”
Reveling in the feel of her hand behind my head, supporting me, I almost purred. Reality gets distorted when I’m tired.
“Tell me now, before I fall asleep again.” I said, groggily, my eyelids threatening to close without my permission.
“Well,” she started, choosing to sit on me bed, putting my head in her lap, “The lipstick we found was left at two different times. The English was left nearly an hour before the Japanese. We’ve checked all the water pipes in the house, and the lakes nearby. None of them have been tampered with in any way. We’ve gotten the Japanese translated into the German, so now I can read it to you.”
“Just tell me what it says.”
“Alright, it says ‘Ich bringe dich um, Relena. Mochtest du ein Tot sein? Heute, deine Freund ist ein Tot.’”
I didn’t like the sound of that. What does ‘Tot’ mean? “And that means?”
“A literal translation?” She asked, a little scared to tell me.
“Yeah.”
“Before I tell you, just remember that I’ll protect you with my very life if need be. Understand?” She looked down at me, fear in her eyes. “I don’t know what I’d do if I ever lost you. So I’ll do my very best to protect you.”
“I understand.” I said, tears springing to my eyes. Hilde started crying too, “I love you, Hilde… and I know you’ll protect me. So tell me.”
She kissed me on the forehead then started the translation. “I’ll kill you, Relena. Would you like to be a dead body? Today, your friend, or boy friend, is a dead body.” I shot up from her lap, one thought in my mind. “Heero!”
“What?”
“What if they mean Heero? He signed the English one didn’t he? What ifthe other person caught him doing that and killed him?”
“I don’t know. I hadn’t thought of that angle. Do you want to start a trace on Heero?”
“No. We wouldn’t be able to find him.”
“Then what do we do now, Relena?”
“We wait for him to come to us.”
