Heero tapped his foot on the bench trying to adjust his laces right, on his sneaker. He could not shake the uneasy feeling he had about Releena.
"Something's wrong Quatre."
Quatre frowned trying to adjust the shirt he was forced to wear. After wandering around aimlessly naked, searching for their clothes, they found the locker room and decided to use the clothes in there. Fortunately for Heero, they had his clothes in the trash, so he just took them out. But poor Quatre, couldn't locate his clothes so he had to use some of the other clothes he found in the lockers. They were all much oversized for him, so he settled for a pair of blue pants, and a white tang top.
"Your telling me… these clothes are too big for me!" Quatre complained.
"No! I'm talking about Releena…" Heero stated, finishing tying his laces and standing straight, putting the gun where he could reach it and crossing his arms over his chess.
Quatre looked at him curiously. "You didn't buy that story from Craft either, huh?"
Heero shook his head. Then without warning he turned around and began walking out of the locker room.
"Heero! Wait! Where are you going?"
"Quatre, go to the Sank Kingdom and find out what's going on with Releena. I'm gonna go find Craft and see why he wanted us captured." Heero stated.
"I'm sure the Princess is fine, but I'll go anyway seeing as she must have a part in this. Be careful Heero." Quatre stated and then ran off in the opposite direction.
Heero watched him go and then ran off in the opposite direction.

Releena pulled the sheets up to her chess and sat in the far corner of the bed hugging her knees and trying to cover herself up. Her eyes were wide and her hair was matted to her forehead, as she idly rocked herself back and forth.
Josh searched for the buckle on his belt as he put his pants on and got himself dressed. He cocked his head to the side to look at Releena.
"Oh, come on now Princess. It was not that bad. Don't worry you'll get better with time." He stated menacingly.
Releena began reaching for more of the bed sheets trying desperately to cover every each of her naked body, and began rocking back and forth frantically.
Josh frowned and walked over to the bed, getting on it and crawling towards Releena. Her eyes grew wider and her face was emotionless as she forze, fearstricken.
He reached over and lifted his hand putting it on her knee. Releena fiercely pulled away and tried to back up some more, but was already up against the headboard. Josh smirked at her and let his hand lower so he was touching her thigh. Then he squeezed her thigh and Releena began screaming hysterically.
"SHHHH!!!" Josh grabbed Releena's shoulder and covered her mouth with his hand, muffling her cries.
Just then, a loud siren was heard through out the base. A red light bulb began flashing on the wall as the loud alarm siren continued.
"What the hell!?" The sound of gun shots and fighting could be heard on the other side of the door and then the door busted opened.
Heero stood there holding the gun in front of him, scanning the room with his eyes. He finally spotted Craft and was about to start shooting when he noticed what he was doing. Releena laid underneath him crying and only covered with a sheet while he had his hand covering her mouth.
"What the hell…?"
"How'd you escape! I'm gonna kill you!" Craft declared jumping off the bed and reaching for his gun.
Heero charged at him before he could do anything and hit him on the back of his neck with his gun. Josh fell unconscious to the ground.
Heero took the gun he was reaching for and stuffed it in his pants along with his own. He then turned his attention to Releena who was now sitting up on the bed. She was still trying to reach for more sheets and trying desperately to cover herself up, it was as though she hadn't even acknowledged Heero's presence yet. Heero walked towards her slowly and watched as she bought her knees to her chess and began rocking back and forth.
Heero gulped, swallowing the developing lump in his throat. 'That son of a bitch… Releena had nothing to do with what was going… this is what he was doing…'
"Releena…" Heero whispered walking to her side on the bed.
Heero bent down so he was at eye level with her and was shocked to see the terrified expression on her face. The light that had always been her eyes since the first day he had met her… was gone.
"Releena…" Heero began reaching forward to place a hand on her shoulder and she automatically looked up and into his face. Renewed tears in her eyes.
"Heero?"
Heero nodded and stood up, taking care to wrap the sheets around Releena's body. She whimpered a bit and protested, but Heero ignored her, picking her up.
Releena began crying silently and rested her face against Heero's chess as she let him carry her away.
Heero tried to step over Craft's unconcious body but did other wise, purposely stepping on him. When he felt Releena's body beginning to tremble and rack with sobs, Heero turned around and kicked Craft in his ribs, hard enough so he coughed up blood.
Heero then turned around and walked out of the room as the alarming Siren continued its wailing. He walked down the hall, past all the Soldiers and guards he had rendered unconcious.
He found his way out of the base and still holding Releena in his arms, he walked off, his eyes watery…
