He Won’t Thank You "I need a secured channel to Preventer Earth. Priority One." The chopper pilot was busy at his controls and then they were airborne. A sense of urgency beat at Wu Fei as he settled his helmet into place and checked the straps holding him to his seat. His fingers curled around the shape hidden in his pocket. "Preventer Earth on line." "Progress report?" Une sounded calm. "En-route to Sanc Memorial. I need the Central Pharmacy on Freedom Avenue raided and the staff taken into custody and questioned concerning the poisoning of Prince Milliardo Peacecraft. I have a sample but it would be faster to get the pharmacist to tell us the exact chemical compounds." Fingers curled around the medicine tub. //I’m sure this is the poison.// He ached to have a few words with the pharmacist but it would be faster if agents already in New Port moved. By the time he reached New Port they might already have determined the antidote that would neutralize the poison. "Explain." "I believe the ointment used to dress Merquise’s wound is the delivery agent. It was prepared and delivered by Central Pharmacy." "I’ll have a team investigate. E.T.A to New Port?" "Fifteen minutes." "Deliver the sample to Sally. Unless the staff at the pharmacy are very cooperative I doubt we will have answers before you arrive." ———————————————— Quatre shrugged. "They will need to know eventually and in a controlled manner is best." "I do not dispute that. I am concerned we keep our prey ignorant of our hunt. We need the evidence confirmed by our own investigation teams before we commit. I prefer not to have to go through this political purging again in a few years time." "My contacts will not be content to wait for months." "I do not intend to wait months but I do intend to confirm the information. We need to know if it will be Zechs or Stephan with a Regent before we strike. Hold off on all direct action until we know if he survives." Quatre nodded. "I will return to Sanc. Thank you for your cooperation." "We all want peace, Winner. It’s the quality of peace that is now in question. If he survives Zechs will not thank you or your acquaintances. I’ve known for years that he wants nothing to do with the throne." "I believe there is no other choice. He acted to fashion the peace we have and he was brutal and did not spare himself in that fashioning. I believe he will cooperate if only to protect Stephan ." The door closed behind him and Une leaned back in her seat. //He always was hardest on himself. He might cooperate but he won’t thank you.// With a sigh Une reached for her com. "Get me Agent Hawk in Sanc."
