Chapter 4 Coincidence? I think not!

Disclaimer: Last time I checked I didn't even have a bank account. So no, I don't own Gundam Wing and I'm definitely not getting money off of this.

Heero blinked glancing at the caller. This was the third call he had received complaining about a missing female. What was wrong with the female population?! Why were they suddenly just taking off and disappearing? First, Relena, then Hilde, Dorothy, and Cathy sudden take off all for no reasons? At least, I wasn't told the reason why…

He sighed, turning back to his work. Like he had told all of them. Relena came first, then he would see if he could help his friends meet up with their female counterparts. Duo and Trowa would most likely be able to track down theirs without any trouble but Quatre.... Quatre was Quatre. Perhaps, he had better help him out. Besides, this was too much of a coincidence. All four of them disappearing at once. They were planning something, definitely.

If only he knew what...

Bakas. The whole lot of them. That what comes of choosing such weak onnas. At least Sally would never do anything like that. Wufei thought as he walked past the seemingly endless rows of doors to the conference room. He opened the door and was half way to his seat when his step faltered. A petite brunette was seated in Sally's spot. Sally was no where to be found. He regained his composure, staring Une right in the eye.

"What is going on?"

"Wufei, this is Catrina. She'll be your partner for..."

"My new partner?! What happened to SALLY?!"

"Sally, is unavailable as of now... Wufei, where do you think you're going?!"

The brunette couldn't keep the grin off of her face as an outraged Wufei stormed by muttering something about weak onnas and of all the injustices that had occurred to him. When the door slammed shut, she winked at Une before doing her best Heero impersonation.

"Mission accomplished."

Trowa entered the small room surprised to see that Duo and Quatre were conversing at the far end of the table. Heero was right behind him and immediately took a seat in front of the computer. As if he would sit anywhere else... He thought before settling in next to Quatre.

"But she left her saber..."

"You know Dorothy more so then I do. If she didn't want you to come after her, you know she would leave that stupid sword behind."

"Relena, Hilde, Dorothy, and Catherine have disappeared. Are you going to talk about it all day or do something about it?" Heero demanded his fingers still skimming over the keys.

"Oh, I'm doing something about it alright. Hilde's not getting away from me without at least a goodbye." Duo replied.

"I don't have to do anything." Quatre said glaring at Duo. "Because Dorothy is coming back."

"Then why didn't she tell you she was leaving? If she were coming back, she would have informed you of her departure." Trowa quickly said before Duo could open his loud mouth.

"Women are weird. They may intend it to be temporary but something we do gets misunderstood and then poof! They're gone for good." Duo added leaning back in his seat. "If we go after them they get outraged. If we don't they're mad. I'd rather have an outraged Hilde, then a mad Hilde colonies away."

"Enough. What do you know already?"

"Hilde's called all the disappearing girls together. They're having a meeting of some kind. No doubt concerning what they're going to do now. I suggest we snab them before they get to the meeting. Each man after their own woman."

"And just what do you suggest we do? Just tie them up and toss them in the back of the car?"

"If it comes to it." Duo replied grinning.

"They'll just run away again."

"Not if you can knock some sense into their heads before they get an opportunity to." The three other occupants of the room stared at him in shock.

"You mean... You'd actually hit Hilde?" Quatre asked recovering first.

"It's just an expression, Quat. I wouldn't really hurt Hilde."

"Haven't you already, though?" Trowa asked.

"What?!"

"She ran for a reason. All of them did. We did something to them, that hurt them enough for them hide."

"We can talk some more later." Heero said effectively cutting any more protests off.

"Right now, we need a plan."

Dorothy flopped back on the small bed as she stared at the ceiling. Sickening cheerful floral designs stared down at her as she glared at the ceiling almost as if she expected the paint to peel off. A loud beeping jerked her out of her thoughts. She pulled the pager off of her belt glancing at the numbers.

"It's not Quatre. That's for sure." Crawling over to the foot of the bed she stretched out an arm to the small desk that occupied the far wall and flipped on the power before entering the call number.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Dorothy." Hilde's face popped up on the screen smiling cheerfully at the blonde. "I heard a very interesting story about you and Quatre..."

Thirty minutes later...

"So, I dumped his clothes in the load and hit the start button. When the load was done... They were the lovely shade they are now." She added as the smile on her face transferred to Dorothy's. "So, will you team up with me and Relena?"

"Of course, Hilde. Payback time, right?"

"Of course."

"We tracked the signal to Human Re- Resources Vehicle." Heero stated a hint of amusement underlining his usually monotone voice. Quatre glanced up Heero, grinning. "Let me get this right, Relena took the tracker off of your car and tossed it in the back of a garbage truck?" Heero nodded the corners of his mouth twitching. Duo grinned before commenting, "Sounds like Hilde, to me."

"I don't care who did it. I have five very smelly and annoyed agents. Now, we've narrowed down their location to..."

Zechs stared at the man trying to process the information. "Relena's missing?" He repeated shocked. The man nodded trying not to appear intimidated by the glare that followed his nod. The Lighting Count nodded his face still covered with the fierce scowl after he relayed the directions. Storming off toward the indicated hallway one thought pulsed through his head.

Heero had some explaining to do...
