The Lost Pilot

Chapter 1

Anni walked up to a rather large building, or mansion she should say, and sighed. Back at the corporation, her boss had assigned her on a rather boring and degrading job. She was supposed to just carry a camera around, which was hidden in her hat, and find a person to humiliate. She wasn't happy with this assignment because she felt sorry for anyone who would do something stupid. They would get embarrassed as they watched themselves on TV, and plus to make things worse, they would see in big letters after the show: THIS SHOW WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY ANNI TANNER. They would for sure be after her. What would happen is: before she walked up to a house, Anni would pick out a common chore done at home randomly and ask the person to do it. So far, she had been lucky because all the ones she got were: sweeping the porch, getting the mail, and watering the plants. No one had done something worth seeing or laughing at so they were in the clear zone. She dreaded the day that she would get a really embarrassing one. The reason why people would go out of their way to do this for a complete stranger they have never seen before is because she told them that they could win a million dollars! No one had the idea that only the people who did make it to TV would be paid, and it wasn't even a million dollars. Why does my boss have to be a greedy, fat man? she asked herself.

Anni looked at the house again. She took a deep breath and pulled out a chore: taking out the garbage. She laughed with relief, and proceeded to the big, metal gate. This place seems so heavily guarded! It's like their expecting an attack from someone every second. But that's crazy to think! Slowly she pushed the intercom button. A grumpy boy answered it with a harsh, "What?"

She could tell he was in a bad mood. "Hi... my name is Anni Tanner, and I am here to give you the experience of a lifetime. Are you interested?"

He again looked harshly at her. She noticed he was about her age: about fifteen or sixteen. Anni couldn't tell how tall he was, because all she saw was his picture in the screen. But if she had to guess, he was about her height, maybe a little taller. "Do you have anything to do with OZ or Relena Peace Craft?"

"Relena Peace-Who?"

He smiled and said, "I'll be right down."

Anni also smiled. He seemed like a nice boy, and she didn't want to humiliate him. But a very small part of her did, because if she didn't get at least five people to put on television, then she was out of a job. The gates began to open, making rusty squeaks as they did. She jumped in surprise and saw him. He was standing on the steps to the beautiful house. Anni had the feeling that he wasn't about to come to her, so she had to come to him. What a nice gentleman, she sarcastically thought in her head.

When she got up to him, he just looked at her some more. "What do you want?"

She almost didn't answer because she was looking at his attire. He wore a loose green tank top, and very tight, black spandex pants. She blushed. "Ummm... I am here to give you the experience of a lifetime, sir."

"You already said that," he growled.

She blushed even harder. "Yes, well, I am also here to ask if you have any garbage lying around in your house."

He turned around to go back inside, when she quickly added, "....if you do than you have the opportunity to win a million dollars!"

The man stopped, keeping his back to her. "What would I need a million dollars for?"

What kind of question is that!? she thought. "Well, you could... buy stuff with it. Like cars, food, clothing, furniture, ...guns?" The last one she took a guess at, but soon regretted it.

His gun was not even an inch away from Anni's face. "Why did you say that last one! Are you working for OZ?! TELL ME!!"

She froze, but found some words to speak with. "Ummm, well sir. I said... guns.... because I saw.. a gun hilt on your pants?"

He eyed her suspiciously and lowered his gun, but it stayed in his hand. "Now, what did you want me to do?" Anni hid a smile. "Yes, I would like you to collect some of your garbage and place it right here. All in a bag, if you don't mind."

He shrugged and went inside. "Just make yourself at home. It will be a while."

She raised an eyebrow. "How much do you have?"

"A lot. Me and my co-pilots aren't very clean." He thought about what he said. "Scratch that. The guy who owns this joint is very clean, but the rest of us aren't."

"How many people live here?"

"Five, including me. Are you sure you aren't from OZ?''
Anni nodded, not knowing what the heck he's talking about. "Fair enough. Besides, OZ likes strong people. You're a little on the puny side."

She bit back a rude comment and smiled. "By the way, it will be nice if I know your name."

"Heero. Heero Yuy."

When 'Heero' wasn't in the room anymore, she laughed. What a funny name! Who on Earth would name their kid Heero? When she heard voices that were far different from Heero, she hid behind a column. If I come back tomorrow, I will be able to get one at a time. Heero has proved to be quite useful with the way he acts. If I get the other four, than it's a longer vacation for me! So for the time being, I should stay out of sight from them.

While they were coming down the stairs, she tried to take a mental note on each of the pilots. The one with the blonde hair seemed to be the owner of the house. Heero said that he was the neatest one, so it had to be him. Also, he worriedly watched his vases as the other pilots walked past them. The tall one with the pointed hair seemed to be a mute. He didn't talk at all, and remained neutral. Poor guy, she thought, feeling sorry for him.

The one with the long brown braid was the most active. He was care-free and happy. How Anni envied him. It was like he didn't care about anything else but to be happy. The last one she knew she would not like. He was strong looking and fierce. Every time the braided one did something stupid, like pull his ponytail, he would growl at him and yell curses. As they passed her, she clung tightly to the pillar, praying that she wouldn't be noticed. Anni held her breath. They talked about going to the pizza parlor, and said that Heero had declined the offer to go. Thank goodness. If they aren't here, than that would leave me more time to get to know all of them by the way they live.

Heero had been right about her, but not completely accurate. Sure she wasn't that strong, but she was graceful, and as swift as a cat. She could pass through a room so silently that no one would notice. She was also great at picking locks; big or small. When Anni heard the gate open and close, she came out of her hiding place. Hearing noises from upstairs, she quickly checked to make sure the camera was still on. It was. Heero appeared on the top of the steps with a great amount of garbage. She ran up to help him carry it down, but he shoved her aside. "I can do it!"

When all the garbage was put outside, she began. "Ok. This will determine if you could win a million dollars."

He raised his eyebrows. "Could win?"

She scowled. Dang! The one guy would would be perfect to use had to be a good listener! "Did I say could? I mean would."

He scratched his head. "Exactly what am I supposed to do?"

"Well, all you have to do is pick up this garbage, and place it where ever the garbage truck would pick it up. Then I will give you a white ticket and you could win the cash."

"You said 'could' again."

"I mean would."

Heero was really confused. "So what you're saying is, if I take the garbage out, you would pay me a million dollars? How does that work out?"

Anni need to think quick. "Ummm... I.. am a very generous person who.... likes to give people money when needed?" What kind of lie is that!

"HELLO! Have you seen this house? Do you knows who owns it? Quatre Rabarba Winner! He is one of the richest guys in the world! Why the hell would you give a million dollars to a rich guy?"

Anni had her mouth open. This was Quatre Raberba Winner's house? She expected it to be much bigger. "Well, I am not offering it to him now, am I?" She hoped this guy wasn't loaded as well.

"Good point."

Anni sighed in relief. She watched Heero as he picked up the massive garbage bags and headed down the path. She would have told him to take one bag at a time, but he seemed like the type of person who does everything the difficult way. As he continued on, every couple of steps her took, she kicked a few rocks at his heels. In surprise he tripped, but caught himself in time. Instead of Heero falling, one of the bags opened up. He cursed under his breath and looked at Anni. She was holding her stomach, stifling any laughs that tried to get through. Then Heero gave her this death glare that automatically shut her up. He glared at her a second time, and as if it were by instinct, she was helping him pick it all up. When he continued down the path, more mischief occurred, but it was not of her doing. A squirrel had located a piece of food on top of the bag, and attacked. When the rodent reached its destination, it caused Heero to loose the balance he once had, and toppled over into the ground. He cursed more loudly and fiercely than he did before. Reaching for his gun, he looked at the squirrel and yelled, "DIE!!!!!" Several shots were made, but because of the squirrel's agility, it ran away, unscathed.

Anni breathed, "Oh God. I've got myself mixed up with a mad man. I hope the rest are better with their temper." Remembering back to the Chinese man, she shuddered. "Well maybe the other three are more decent."

"Ok. I've gotten the cursed bag to the end of the driveway. Give me my money, and have a nice day. There is the gate."

She handed him a white ticket. "What the hell is this?" It was more a command than a request.

"I told you that I would give you a ticket. If you wait awhile, you should have the money within a month." Anni turned to leave, but a strong hand grabbed her's.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! A full month? You have to be kidding?!"

She decided to be brave. "I'm sorry, sir, but your impatience will have to take another path."

"And what that supposed to mean?"

"That means be patient!" She grabbed his arm and pulled it off her's. She headed toward the gate. Heero grabbed for his gun. His first impulse was to blow her head off. Who does she think she is? Asking me to wait! When he tried to pull the trigger, he couldn't. "I must be getting soft," he murmured under his breath. "Some perfect soldier I am."

He looked back at Anni, silently laughed, and walked back into the mansion. It wasn't until Anni got back to her apartment did she realize how close to death she had been. After eating a good meal of cold pizza and french fries, she looked over the footage she took. Then she showered and went to bed. Her cat, Tasha, was sitting next to Anni, purring softly. "I wonder if tomorrow will be as exciting as today," she questioned herself. Darkness overcame her, and soon enough she was in her own dreams.
