~O~

Duo eyed the mess with a jaundiced eye. "Well, isn't that just a kick in the nuts."

Heero sighed. "Yeah, Une is going to have kittens."

"Yeah, saber tooth tiger one's."

Neither one of them really wanted another of Une's ass eatings, she didn't, as Duo said, "Eat them out. She ate around it and let it fall out." painfully.

"Ok, how the hell do we get out of this one?"

Before Heero could answer Duo, a voice behind them announced, "You don't. I really want to know if this mess was necessary."

Duo hid his face in one hand, Heero braced himself and turned around. Lady Une was standing right behind them, looking extremely pissed.

Heero just said, "Do you want to wait for my formal report or do you want it, down-and-dirty, now?"

Une glanced at the collapsed portico of the hotel and the three squashed taxies. "Now please. And it had better be good."

"Terrorist bomb in a catering truck. Not original but effective. You'd think that the hotels would learn. Duo actually saw it, it was in a cake, but the wiring showed. Stupid in the extreme."

"If you both knew it was there, how the hell did you let it explode?" Une glared. "Enquiring minds want to know."

Duo took up the explanation. "Ya see, the guy wouldn't let us near it. We even showed him our badges. You said, last time, not to make a big stink, just call it in and let the locals take care of it." He shrugged, looking a bit satisfied. "So we did. Especially since the locals called us a couple of glory seeking kids. You said not to get on the bad side of the locals by rubbing their noses in the fact that we really do know what we're doing." He glanced back at the damage. "It's not really that bad. No structural damage beyond the collapse of the portico."

Une rubbed her chin. "That's not the point." She stopped for a moment.

Duo barged in with, "Yeah and he called us paranoid assholes. Paranoid I'll go along with but not asshole. I'm actually quite charming."

"When you're not killing something." Heero smirked a bit.

"Snappy, really snappy, Yuy. Ha, ha."

Une couldn't decide what annoyed her more, the childish bickering or the fact that they had obeyed her latest request, which was what had led them to this mess.

"Enough! Find the commander of the locals and tell him I want to speak to him." Une started to pace, muttering to herself. Duo looked at her for a moment then started to walk away. Une turned, drew her pistol and fired. Duo ducked, Heero flinched and the man who was about to shoot Heero in the back, died.

Une raised an eyebrow at them. "Despite my obsessive bean counting, I'm a soldier too. Remember?"
