“Are you sure he was telling the truth?” Wufei questioned skeptically.
Heero glared at his commander. “Duo doesn’t lie. What would he have to gain by it?”
Wufei shrugged irritably. “It just doesn’t fit. The man he described couldn’t have been a Southerner...”
“Well, if you didn’t see fit to confide your theory in him, then it isn’t his fault the data doesn’t match up with it,” Heero snapped.
“Then the whole exercise was worse than useless,” Wufei returned. “Now we’re back to where we began again...”
“Then perhaps he was doing you a favor, not that your stubborn pride would ever admit it! By the Gods, Wufei, what did you hope to get from him?” Heero demanded. “I am thoroughly disgusted by this unreasonable hostility you hold towards Duo! You’ve practically been searching for an excuse to brand him a threat ever since I took him in!”
