"58 seconds... Not enough...."
Trowa cursed himself. This was all his plan, and if he fails, every one of his crewmembers will too.
"KyaaH!!"
Catherine was grabbed by her hair. She aimed her gun at the guard and pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. The guard smirked and twisted her arm behind her. Just when she was about to give out another scream, she heard a loud gunshot. The guard fell to the ground. Catherine looked up and stared at the Captain of the Heavyarms, smoke coming out of his gun.
"Thought you might need a little help."
Trowa turned back to the monitor, just in time to see his plan was accomplished. He ejected his disc and placed it in his vest pocket.
"I.. could have handled him..... It's the gun!! It's broke!!"
Catherine threw the handgun on the floor.
Trowa got his stuff and walked toward Catherine. He kneeled down to retrieve the gun and brought it in front of Catherine's eyes. He pulled the safety lock off.
"It's called safety lock."
Catherine's face started to heat up. She quickly snatched the gun and turned to the door.
"I know what it is!..I just didn't... have the time to..... check it.."
She can almost hear Trowa smirk behind her.
"Come on!! We'll be late!!"
Catherine started to run towards the exit.
Trowa followed, still smiling.

Relena descended the long staircase of her yard.
"If it isn't Prince Heero himself."
She slowly walked to the small tea table. Heero got up and pulled a chair for Relena.
"Thank you."
Heero said nothing and got back to his seat. He was glad to see Relena was in a good mood. This could work..
"What is it that you wish to talk about, your highness?"
Relena smiled seeing the dubious face in front of her. She knew he hated to be called "your highness". And yet, she can't stop calling him that because of the awarding face she gets afterwards.
"He looks so young and cute when he does that.."
She giggled a little.
"Heard there was a little trouble this morning."
Relena kept smiling and nodded.
"I figured you would know by now.... Yes, there was."
An old butler brought them tea and some delicate looking snacks. Relena thanked him and added milk to her beverage.
"The terrorists...," Relena sipped her tea, "...took almost all the files on the main computer earlier today..."
Relena looked up.
"If that's what you're talking about."
Heero nodded.
"And you know what?" Relena smiled, "I am glad they did."
Heero acted to be surprised.
"Not what you expected to hear from me, Heero?"
Relena smiled wickedly.
"I am a ba~d girl and I want ba~d things to happen to OZ."
"Why?"
Now it was Relena's turned to be surprised. She never expected Heero to be this.... concerned...
"I... I've seen both positive and negative sides of OZ, but negative outweighs positive by far, Heero. I've seen.... OZ....us... do terrible things...."
Relena sipped her tea again. She could never forget the horrific images of war.... It haunted her everyday..
"..That is why.. I am glad, Heero. The files..... They reveal the true identity of OZ.... And the terrorists has them.."
Relena smiled.
"I am happy to see you today, Heero..," Relena placed her cup back on the saucer, "..well, anyway, what is it that you want to talk about?"
Heero smiled.
"You've been talking about it for quite some time now."
Relena looked confused at first, but she started to show a little smile.
Heero smiled back and praised himself. He knew about the little incident that took place earlier today, and knew Relena would be in a good mood because of it.
And knew this day would be the perfect day to start his game.
"Relena.. I have a deal for you.."
