Sneaking Around //I know I’m a paranoid bastard at the best of times, but maybe I’m going overboard here?// The itch that nagged him during the war was back, inciting him to paranoia and dousing his amusement at a romantic Heero. It was a pity paranoia took all the fun out of life, he had been enjoying teasing Yuy. //Nah. Much as I like taking the Micky out of Yuy I know something is off about the footsteps I heard.// How was one supposed to enjoy life to the full if one constantly had to look over one’s shoulder? Of course, paranoia was a psychological disorder characterized by delusions of persecution or grandeur. So what was it called if it was not simply delusions of persecution? He sure as hell was not delusional about seeing the fleeting shadow, or hearing the soft tread of footfalls. This section of the palace was used as offices and the holiday season was in effect, no workers were present. Security guards had no cause to be sneaking around and he was certain someone was sneaking. There was something furtive about the soft steps and the shadow on the wall. He tucked the newly acquired sprig of Mistletoe into a pocket and slipped off his shoes, opting for the silent tread of sock feet on the polished wooden floors. “Hunter, are you still on line?” He still wore the earpiece and transmitter required earlier in the evening. If Hunter himself was no longer available there would be someone monitoring the network. “Mr. Maxwell.” “You might want to discreetly alert House Security. We have an intruder in the office wing and they don’t seem sociable.” “Understood. Are you in a position to pursue?” “Already on it. Could I trouble you to alert Yuy and Chang?” “Affirmative. In the meantime I shall have the Princess escorted to safe quarters. Hunter out.” Duo arched an eyebrow in surprise. Relena was not already in bed? It would be of no concern to him, Relena would be escorted to her suite and the guards on her doubled. Milliardo likewise would be under increased guard until the intruder was run to ground. “Well, whoever you are, you are now designated the Fox and this little black duck is designated the Hound. Lets get down to the business of hunting, shall we?” Silent as a wraith Duo glided along the hallway, keeping to the darkest shadows, a slender shadow amidst shadows. He had no idea what was behind this intrusion but no one entered his territory with potentially murderous intentions. //I don’t care if you are an avid suitor come to sweep your girl off her feet, you don’t sneak around here and expect to get away with it. You certainly don’t expect to be let go with a slap across the knuckles once I catch you… and you will be caught.// Slipping his socks off he tucked shoes and socks into a nook and got down to business.
