Operation Stardust: 2.1

****Trowa****

He rounded the corner to the rendezvous point and saw Wufei bump into a Chinese girl. He had about a dozen or so OZ soldiers on his tail. He knew that Wufei would get to the house on his own, so he joined the followers that descended upon the girl. Dressed as an OZ menial, Trowa didn�t stand out of the crowd. Something about the girl piqued his curiosity. Trowa easily out-raced the OZ soldiers following her, but the girl was so fast that he couldn�t get close. The OZ soldiers finally decided to use their weapons, but the girl fired back. A shot caught Trowa in the arm, but that didn�t stop him. ::She�s a good shot�:: He saw the jeep she was headed for, and headed for is own car. Jumping into his black Lexus, Trowa punched the gas and sped in the jeep�s direction. He turned out his headlights and followed them for a few miles before he noticed that the Chinese girl had spotted him in her side mirror. He frowned and glanced towards the driver� side. His eyes locked with the driver�s in the rearview mirror. She brushed a lock of beautiful cherry colored brown ringlets away from her face and stared into his eyes. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of violet-black that pulled him into their depths. The look was shaken away by the Chinese girl, and Trowa shook his head in distraction. Suddenly the jeep took a suicide turn into the woods. Trowa stared at the evergreen wall. ::Hmph�they�re probably heading for the dirt road a quarter mile up ahead...::

Trowa thought a moment, but decided against turning on his headlights. A plan in mind, Trowa pressed the gas pedal into the floorboards. He sped ruthlessly down the road until he spotted the turnoff. He lessened his speed so he could drive down the bumpy road. Careening down the turnoff, he yanked the wheel until he was facing the opposite direction. When he heard the telltale crunch of underbrush he punched the gas again, driving straight for where the jeep would emerge. The jeep shot out of the trees at an incredible speed, but Trowa sped down the road in a headlong course. Soon he could see the driver clearly. ::She�s so beautiful�:: He stomped out the thought like an irritating insect and hardened his resolve. He watched the driver cringe and swerve away from his offensive. When the dust cleared Trowa knew he wouldn�t be able to catch up with them. ::But I will be able to report it�:: He felt a strange tugging at the pit of his stomach as he turned back down the paved road. He headed towards the meeting place; a town five miles north of his current position.

Trowa parked his car and walked into the house. It was a small, but quiet place. He entered the doorway to his left and found four other boys his age. Heero, Quatre, Duo, and Wufei were conversing quietly about their respective missions. Quatre looked up at him expectantly as he sat down.

�So� how did it go?� the blonde asked.

��Successful�� Trowa flashed a small zip disk and placed it on the table �There were two unidentified females there.� Trowa said casually.

�Yes. One onna bumped into me!� Wufei interjected.

�Hmm�� Trowa looked at Wufei. �I think we have competition.�
