Chapter 1

They walked into their home for the next three months. The apartment was old and not well kept. It had heating however. They sat their bags down and turned to the old woman who looked at them as if they would make her already run down apartment even more run down. She handed them the keys and let her self out without offering a tour of the place. Not like they needed it. It was a one bedroom with a main living area, a kitchen and a bathroom. Heero locked the door when the woman left and checked the condition of the lock.

Duo turned and watched him. He would do a perimeter sweep, and while he did that Duo would go and get food and anything else they may need. With that in mind, Duo took the car keys from Heero. "ET?" Heero asked as he went to a window.

"Three hours," Duo responded and looked at Heero.

"Two," Heero replied.

"Two," Duo agreed leaving the apartment. Their mission was surveillance of a warehouse that was right across the street. The mission was to watch persons and objects going into and out of the warehouse but not to bother with them unless they knew that it was dangerous and they needed too. The Doctors told them to be prepared to be there for about three months, and they also instructed that they leave the apartment rarely. So Duo was going to stalk up on food that they would need. He figured that they would have to leave about once or twice a month to restock on their foodstuff. Other then that they would be in that apartment for three months give or take depending on the doctor's will.

Duo walked up and down the isles, getting mostly canned items, but he wasn't averse to getting fresh fruit and vegetables and often times did so they had nice food. He got meat that could be stored in their freezer easily and packaged for meals. He also got cleaning supplies, toiletries, bed spreads and an extra blanket or two. All said and done he got enough food and items to keep two growing teenage boys happy for a few weeks, making it back to the apartment it took several trips up and down the two flights of stairs to bring it all in, and he was surprised it only took him an hour and forty-five minutes. He tossed the keys to Heero when he was finished. Heero caught them.

"Three hours," Heero said and left. When Heero said he was going to be gone for three hours he was normally gone for three hours. Duo got to work at putting the food and everything else away. He had grabbed a few dishes too and was glad for it seeing as how there were none in the apartment. Then he moved into the bedroom and saw the bed, just as he had thought a queen. He got to work at fixing up the place. Luckily their surveillance would be able to be done in the living room not the bedroom. He didn't like it when Heero had all his equipment set up in the bedrooms, which means that he had to either sleep with all that equipment or move into the main living area.

The bathroom had a shower, no bath but everything still needed to be cleaned. He would tackle this area first.

When Heero walked in he carried two duffle bags and sat them down. Duo had already moved the dinning table over towards the window where they would do their mission. He was currently in the kitchen when Heero walked in and left. It took him three trips to bring everything up.

"You will sneak over and set up the cameras and microphones," Heero said. Duo grinned. He was a master at sneaking in and out of places, it was a toss at who was the best sometimes him or Trowa. Trowa had him beat in the woods and such, but Duo had him beat in a city.

"Sure thing," he said. It would be done at night for the cover. Heero started to work on their own safety, installing locks on the doors and windows. Once he was finished with that they ate a light dinner. While Duo was cleaning up in the kitchen Heero took a shower.

After wards Heero set up the monitoring systems on the table. Duo changed into his stealth closes and waited for Heero to hand him the tiny remote cameras and microphones. "Hide them well and in places where they can get images," Heero instructed. Duo nodded as he placed them in a pouch on his belt.

"No worries Heero," Duo said and turned his radio on and attached it to his ear, "You let me know if they turn on."

Heero nodded and went to the computer screens he had set up with the system and waited until Duo was out side to turn on the system.

Duo crept slowly down the road and then turned and headed down towards the warehouse. No sense in having the enemy think that they were right across the street. Duo watched the camera and then moved along the wall towards the door. Once there he grabbed the edge of the door and pulled himself up. Holding onto the ledge with the camera he balanced himself as he dug into his pouch and pulled out a camera of his own. He turned it on and looked at it. There was a hissing sound in his ear one then two, telling him that the camera was working. Duo attached it so that it moved with the other camera. The reason why Heero just didn't hack into the system was because it would be found a lot easier than planting cameras themselves. Or that's what Duo told himself as he dropped back down towards the ground. Taking out his lock picks from his pockets he set to work on the door. It was easy enough. He opened it just enough to slip inside and then closed it again. This part was the easiest. He avoided all cameras as he climbed his way up into the rafter beams and walked across them without a care, the cameras caught what was below them, not above. So he set about placing cameras around the building and two in the office. Microphones went with the cameras, and he was done about an hour later. This was proving to be an easy mission so far, not that he didn't enjoy that but it was a bit boring compared to fighting with his Deathscythe or sneaking into Oz bases, being shot at and blowing stuff up. This warehouse was extremely lax in their system. Was he a little glad for the easy mission? Yes, it would give him some time to recover from some lost weight and some wounds that didn't want to stay healed. He knew that Heero could use the break, that last mission messed him up more then it did Duo.

Sneaking back out he locked the door again and then simply followed the route back the way he had come.

Walking back up to the apartment Heero watched over the video screens and nodded to Duo as he entered. Locking the door Duo walked over to the couch and sat down. Taking off his boots and gloves he tossed them to the side.

"We're in for a long haul," Duo said and leaned his head back. Why the doctors needed to Gundam Pilots on this mission he didn't know, he didn't make the orders. Maybe it was incase one needed the backup if it was a storage space of Oz or an underground hide out or something. "They looked to be locked down at night," he said and leaned forward.

"Yeah," Heero said as he watched the screens there was no activity. "No guards?"

"None," Duo said. "Not that they would have been able to catch me if I was caught." Heero looked at him and then back to the screens.

And that's pretty much what their mission was, to sit and watch a computer and listen to what the people inside said. It seemed that the warehouse was open Monday morning at seven am to just about midnight when the final watch went home, all up to Saturday when they opened at eight in the morning and closed just after ten, and on Sundays they weren't open at all.

Heero watched the screens as Duo listened to the conversations writing down anything that may be important for them to look up later. So far for the week nothing exciting happened. Their conversations were normal employee stuff, talk of family and girlfriends and children and how they hate their jobs. If only they knew what they were going through now. Duo nearly feel asleep during the eighth day of listening to the same people talk about their lives. He looked at Heero who was drinking a cup of coffee watching the video screen when he made up his mind. Duo's personal mission:

Make Heero laugh!

That could prove fatal, dangerous or funny. Duo's violet eyes shone as he started to work on a plan in his head. That plan almost caused him to miss something one of the employees said; Scott was the man's name Duo believed. He wrote it down quickly his hand moving across the paper. He wrote their conversation down from that point.

Time: Week two: Tuesday 12.45.47 pm.

"So did you hear about that Gundam attack on Oz base?" employee 3 (Scott)

"Yeah it was on the news this morning, said that they caught the pilot right?" employee 7 (Joddy)

"Yeah that's the one, can you believe its some teenage kid? No older then your son I think." employee 3

"That young? My boy wanted to join the war, he talked about it this morning." employee 7.

"Did you ask which side he was thinking about joining?" employee 3

"Yeah, he said he wanted to join Oz because the Gundams were terrorists," employee 7

"What did you do?" employee 3

"What can I do? He's old enough to make his own choices, but I don't like him joining the war just because he thinks something is true you know? Anyway, what about this pilot?" employee 7

"They call him Gundam pilot 03. They didn't show any pictures or anything, from what the news said they couldn't get any information from the kid." employee 3.

"Huh, wonder what they'll do…" employee 7

"Don't know." employee 3

That was all they said on the matter. Duo listened for a while after words but the topic never came up again. He handed the paper to Heero. Heero took it and read over it and then looked to Duo. He moved away from the screen and Duo took off the headphones and sat them down as he followed Heero into the kitchen where Heero started to fix himself a cup of coffee.

"They got Trowa," Duo said.

"Unconfirmed," Heero said and looked at him. "You call Quatre to confirm, and then contact Wufei."

"On it," Duo said and walked away from the kitchen into the bedroom. He took the cell phone from his duffle bag and pressed the four and then the call button.
