Revenge Is A Woman //She should not be dead. Zechs should not be in surgery. Because of me. It is because of my actions both during the war and this day. Revenge is a woman. A vicious bitch, sly, secretive, furtive. Patient. // He frowned at the sunlight pouring into the waiting room. It was a beautiful Italian afternoon, bright, sunny and bordering on hot. Noin's home country was one of only three in the entire Earth Sphere that had granted permission for the former White Fang leader to frequent and he was always under guard. "I failed. I failed in keeping him secure and she could as easily have gone after Stephen." "It turned out alright, Chang." Sally Po nodded briefly to him as she closed the door behind her. "Right then. You have a flight to make. Une wants Zechs in Sanc at safe house twenty three before midnight, so you had best get moving." "Sanc? He is not permitted to enter Sanc. Such is a violation of his parole." "Exactly. No one will expect to find him there and he has to keep a low profile. Special permission was garnered so wipe that look off your face. He won't be arrested the minute he arrives. You have two hours before he is ready. Helen is a competent nurse and should be able to attend to his convalescent needs. A month or so and he should be pumping iron again." "Stephen?" "I was given to believe that Stephen is already on his way to Sanc, with Helen and Maxwell. Preventers have a lock down on the safe house in effect and the grounds should be thoroughly searched long before you arrive. Une is breathing fire over this debacle. I'd advise against screwing this up." "She was after the wrong target." "Say again?" Sally stared at him, frowning. "She blamed Merquise and he did nothing to deserve her ire. It was about Victoria. Revenge for Victoria." Sally exhaled slowly, lips pursed as she considered the young man. "It was war. Don't get caught up in the past. That road only leads to heartache and insanity." "I know but ... it was my fault and she held him accountable. He took a bullet meant for me." "Then get your head together and make certain no one else scores a hit. He's a target, Wu Fei. He always will be. There will always be someone out there just waiting for a chance at some pay back. High profile, unmistakable. The perfect target. He knows it. Now you need to accept it and get on with life. It was not about you." "Until someone succeeds where this woman failed? War is no excuse." Sally considered the fire in the dark eyes and nodded. "Yes. It's up to you to ensure there are no future opportunities, is it not? They'll be patient. Revenge is a dish best served cold, Chang. Don't forget it." // I will not. To the day I die, I will not forget the lesson. //
