Computers don’t lie.  Heero Yuy learned that long ago. 

People lie, but computer’s don’t.

Heero watched the information scrolling across the screen of his laptop with an intensity most people couldn’t keep up for more than thirty minutes. 

He’d been at it for more than twenty-four hours.

The information was there, at least most of it was.  He’d dug it out and put it together.  He didn’t have all the pieces.  Yet.  But he had enough to extrapolate the final picture.

It wasn’t pretty.

Heero didn’t have an office, not really.  He worked better knowing that only a handful of people knew where he was at any one time.  The last day he’d spent holed up in the office shared by Wufei Chang and Sally Po.  Both of them knew he was there, as did Lady Une, but when he was working on something like he was now they kept everyone away from him and let him do what he was good at.

Finding the truth.

Since he’d come to work for the Preventers several months ago, shortly after the Mariemaia incident, Heero finally felt truly at peace with himself.

He wasn’t sure it was the right place for him at first.  The Preventers were a military organization after all.  But within a few weeks he realized it was a military organization that really did prevent war.  It did not participate in it.  Preventing was the only thing his conscience would allow him to do.

He would never again be used as a tool of war.

Heero tapped lightly on his keyboard, printing off a hard copy of the information on the computer screen, then he activated the VidCom unit on the desk next to him.  A couple of seconds later a too cheerful face greeted him.

“Hello, Hilde’s house of hair.  We guarantee everyone leaves happy!”

“Duo!”  A female voice yelled from the background.  “Stop answering that way.”

“Hey, no hitting!”  Grinning, Duo ducked as Hilde attacked him, but his face came back into view a moment later.  He winked when he saw who was calling him.

“Heero, what’s up?”

Heero’s face remained impassive.  “Duo, I need a favor.” 

“Sure buddy, when I have ever turned you down?”  Duo giggled as Hilde continued to poke at him.  “What is it?”

“I’ve uncovered some disturbing information.”  Heero’s voice became even more remote than usual.

“Oh yeah?”  Duo’s grin slipped and disappeared.

“Yeah.  I think it’s finally time I killed Relena Darlian.”
