Prowling He was tempted to change channels and check on the hunt for the intruder, but then he would miss any messages Hunter intended for him. He enjoyed the chase. In long gone days he and Treize had challenged each other and he would lead his friend on a merry dance. Often their challenges landed them in trouble with the Duke and Duchess Kushrenada, but Treize had never seemed to mind, enjoying the chase through the old manor as much as he. The time they had wasted, playing the fool, keeping to propriety and for what? The future he had hoped for had been denied them. He had promised himself he would no longer dwell on the past, that it was time to think of the now and the future. He rested his head against the wall taking a moment to listen. Somewhere ahead he heard the soft tread of feet on carpet. Slipping into a pocket of shadow in a recess for a flower arrangement he waited, alert. The footfalls paused and he breathed lightly. He could see no one. They were just around the corner from him and they might not turn down this hall. It was a T junction in front of him, and two doors up from the intersection was the nursery suite where Stephen slept. Relena and her mother’s rooms were in the hallway in which the quiet footsteps had stopped. He suppressed a grin. Hunter might be prowling. He could well imagine Pagan issuing instructions to Chang and Yuy knowing he was listening, and all the while planning to catch him himself. It would be just like Pagan to try that, but he was wise to the possibility. A shadow flitted at the edge of his vision, a shape crossing from the downstroke of the T and moving along the hallway away from him. Easing forward Zechs peered through the orange petals of a lily to watch the dark form flit from shadow to shadow. Closing out the chatter in his earpiece he ghosted forward as the shape paused at a door. No longer amused Zechs increased his pace as the shadow slipped into the room. Blue eyes blazing he snapped out a query. “Hunter, have you assigned anyone to Stephen’s nursery?” Hunter’s response was immediate. “Negative. The family wing is secured and the nursery electronically monitored.” “Do you have anyone moving on the main hallway monitors?” A brief pause as Zechs came abreast of the nursery door as the response came over the radio. “The feeds are negative for movement.” Ice settled in his veins. “Your security feed is compromised. I’m at Stephen’s door and someone went in ahead of me.” “Lock down the Palace and grounds. Orange alert status is now red. Milliardo, don’t you dare go in that room!” He did not bother answering Hunter, he had something far more important to do. “Yuy! Chang! Move your arses!” Hunter ground his teeth in frustrated rage.
