Falling Away: Chapter 2
Laughing to himself Duo Maxwell opened the door to his house and stopped in surprise.
There in front of his eyes was Hilde in a skimpy little white negligee that left nothing to the imagination.
Duo stood mesmerized as his name was repeatedly called out.
"Duo… Duo… DUO WAKE UP!!" With a sharp slap Heero pull Duo back to his senses.
"Awww man, why did you do that Heero? I was havin' a really nice thought right then." Much to Duo's disappointment it wasn't Hilde wearing next to nothing but his fellow Gundam pilot Heero Yuy standing in his foyer.
"Hmm whatever. Look at this and tell me what you think." With that Heero handed Duo a mini disk.
"Looks like a mini disk to me." Duo said with a grin.
"Not the disk baka, what's on the disk." With that Heero walked into what could only be called the computer room. It was a room right next to the front hall filled top to bottom with computers and other electronic devices.
Hero walked up to the main terminal and put in the disk.
'INPUT PASSWORD.' Appeared on the screen.
"What's the password?" Heero asked without taking his eyes off the screen.
Duo smiled at his friend.
"Guess. If you get it in one shot I'll give you ten bucks." Duo was obviously confident about his password.
'Heero may be a hacker but he will never get my password.' Duo thought to himself with delight.
Sighing Heero typed in some letters.
S.H.I.N.I.G.A.M.I.
'PASSCODE ACCEPTED.'
Duo sputtered in disbelief.
"How the hell did you do that?"
"I'm psychic." Heero murmured.
"No seriously Heero," Duo said. "How the heck did you know?"
"Just look at the disk." Heero gave his famous death glare and finally Duo relented.
"Fine man fine. I still am gonna find out how you knew later." Duo hung his head in defeat and watched the screen.
The disk started up with a security camera clip. It was focused on a dark parking lot. At first no one was in the shot then a woman came from the bottom holding a purse and a set of keys.
After about thirty seconds by herself a second person walked in. Duo couldn't tell at first if the second figure was a man or a woman because of the long trench coat the person wore.
Catching up quickly to the woman the figure in the coat grabbed her from behind and then forcefully bent her backwards. What seemed strange to Duo was the fact that the person had his\her head down by the woman's neck the whole time.
After a few seconds the figure was done and left the seemingly dead woman alone. As soon as this was over a second view from what was apparently another camera came on. In this scene a hobo was mugging a man in a back alley. After a second a third figure wearing a similar trench coat to the attacker in the first video, stopped the mugger. After he made sure the man was all right and had left the third person bent over the hobo and placed his head over his neck.
After a minute or so the ordeal was over and the cloaked stranger walked away from the now lifeless body. After those two videos there were several other just a similar but a bit different.
When it was over Heero looked at Duo with cold eyes.
"Well what do you make of it?"
Duo thought about his next choice of words. What he said next was the most thrilling and awful thing he has ever said in his life.
"Looks like we got some vampires running round." With that said, he promptly burst into a fit of giggling.
Ok I know I didn't put Angel in this chapter, well by name anyway but I had to build on the plot a bit. So bear with me. Oh and as far as the Shinigami reference, if you don't get that then you shouldn't be reading this, lol.
Oh also keep those reviews comin'. The more I get the faster I produce.
Bia Bia!!!!
