The door to my office slammed open and Duo darted in, looking panicked.
"Heero! Didn't you hear-?"
"Hear what?"
"It's Relena! She's-"
"Been kidnapped."
"Yes!" He blinked at me. "Why are you just sitting there if you already know?"
"I wanted to finish my lunch."
"What? But- we need to go! We don't know who took her- or where- there haven't been any demands yet- why are you still eating?!"
"It's my favorite soup. I had to stand in line twenty minutes to get it." I took another bite. "Relax, I'm almost finished."
"Heero!"
"Duo," I stopped him before he could start again. "Sit down."
Pointedly ignoring my suggestion, he put both hands on my desk and growled at me. "What? Did the princess dump you or something? Carrying a grudge?"
"We aren't and have never been dating," I pointed out patiently. "I just happen to know that she's not in any real danger at the moment."
"How the hell can you know that?"
I picked up my phone and tapped one of the icons on the screen. "Here," I said and tossed it at him.
"What- what is this?"
There was no point in answering. He'd figure it out for himself in a moment. I finished my soup, took the last swig out of my water bottle and then tossed my containers away before Duo spoke again.
"You brillant bastard- you tagged her? How the hell-?"
"Sally. We both agreed that considering the amount of trouble Relena gets into, she needed a chip. So, we put one in- synced to her bio signs- and containing a GPS signal as well."
"But that doesn't explain how you can tell that she's not in danger- whoever has her could shoot her at any moment- a chip won't stop that-"
"Did you look at the biosigns?"
"Yes- heart rate is elevated- lots of adrenaline- signs of panic, right? So it might be really bad-"
"Did you note her location?"
"Yeah- 56th and Main- so she's in the city- but they could move her-"
"56th and Main is a hotel. A very private high end hotel."
"So?"
"So, ten to one, she's not kidnapped- she's just slipped off to meet Chang again."
Duo dropped into the chair behind him, gaping at me in shock. "Again?!"
"You can go look if you like," I told him and turned to my computer. "But if I were you, I'd wait until her biosigns are normal. Chang doesn't take kindly to being interrupted..."
