Priorities Heero straightened to his full height. “Please confirm that instruction, Hunter.” “You will return to the ballroom and notify Pagan the King and Princess are to be removed to the Palace. The required obligations from the King are about to conclude and he is to be in safe custody before news of the murder is generally known. The appropriate authorities will investigate the death.” The Intelligence chief’s voice was calm and quiet over the earpieces and left no doubt of his instructions. Duo snorted softly, demonstrating his dislike for the situation, but he was now an intelligence operative and he had never been a detective trained in handling murder investigations. His past training incorporated performing the blood letting, not investigating it. “Acknowledged, Hunter.” Heero stepped away from the body though he appeared far from pleased. “It is more important to get Milliardo and Relena safely out of here.” Duo whispered. “If this killing should be more than it looks to be we don’t want them involved.” “It looks to be murder.” Heero deadpanned. “The question is why kill him?” “What was he doing in the Prime Minister’s office? I presume said office should have been locked and under security seal.” Duo nodded to the security agents at the door and drew Heero into the hallway. Marching smartly along the hall toward the staircase Heero’s scowl deepened. “The man was an idiot jumped up with his own importance and determined to improve his position by marrying Relena. Such men make enemies.” “He was a member of the aristocracy and his murder will be made public before morning. Someone had more than the usual grievance with him. Slit throats are quick but messy as hell. You don’t remain free of blood when slitting a throat.” “He was either taken by surprise or he knew his killer. There is no sign of a struggle and no alarm was raised during the kill itself. What happened to the killer after leaving the office?” “The appropriate authorities have been notified.” Hunter’s voice whispered in their ears. “Move, gentlemen. The Police Chief needs to act and is holding back until we have the King safely away.” “What do we tell Milliardo?” Heero queried. “As little as possible until the Palace is reached. The guests from the function will not appreciate being detained indefinitely considering the lateness of the hour but the Police will manage the affair. Later in the day an interview with those who depart with the King will be arranged for investigators. If this is a political kill the King needs to be kept as far from it as possible.” “If it is personal?” Duo queried. “There is no need for the King to be involved in personal grudges leading to bloodshed. Hustle, gentlemen, the Police Chief is waiting.” End
