Unspoiled Dinner Plans

Laura was in the hospital for another three days before they would let her walk around with a crutch. Roy went to see here every chance he got, Maes even covered for him when he snuck out every once and a while. Maes did go to see her every now and then bring new pictures he took of Elycia every single time. Mia was there everyday as well, she wasn't the most comforting person in the world but Laura thought she was great company. Mia and Maes were walking through HQ to Laura's office where she usually was, she wanted to get back to work as soon as possible but because of her leg she was usually just sitting in her office doing paper work. Roy was in his office doing his last minute paper work, Mia and Maes had just left his office they still had plenty of time to put off there work more.

"Hey watch it!" Mia said as a man bumped into her.

He stopped and turned around to face her. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me." She snapped.

"Don't you talk to me like that, Major."

"Who are you? I haven't seen you around here before?" Maes asked eyeing him.

"Lieutenant Colonel Frank Archer, I just got transferred here." He said. "You?" He asked them.

"Major Mia Loup." Mia said looking slightly pissed off.

"Colonel Maes Hughes." He said still eyeing him and folding his arms.

"Colonel? Well then it's nice to meet you." He said sarcastically and then walked away.

"I don't like him." Mia said. "He seems like a bastard."

"He may be but he's in charge of a lot of stuff around here now…. But me and Roy are in charge of him! So no need to worry."

"And Roy is in charge of you." Mia said.

"And I'm in charge of you."

"But I'm in charge of Laura."

They walked into Laura office to find her asleep on her desk with a bunch of paper work as a pillow.

Maes put his finger to his mouth and crept over to Laura and Mia took the other side. They leaned down each of them at one ear and Mia silently counted to three and together they yelled: "HEY LAURA!"

"Holy crap!" She screamed as she jolted awake.

"Hey Lar, did we wake you?" Mia said leaning on her desk.

"Urg! What do you want?" She said putting her head back down. "Why can't you just let me rest in peace?"

"Because you're not dead." Maes said.

Laura sat up in her chair and stared at the two of them. "You came for a reason."

"Yes actually we wanted to know if you could come over to Maes's house for dinner. Roy said he could come but he'd be late and all with his paper work."

"I guess I can, haven't seen the lovely Hughes family for a while." Laura said happily as she got up and got her crutch.

"Great!" Maes said. "I going to go call Glacier right now and tell her! Can ya be at my house by six?" He didn't wait for an answer. "Perfect!" Maes said as he rushed out of the room acting like a kid.

Mia was shaking her head as she watched him leave and then turned her attention back to Laura. "So did ya see the new guy?" She asked.

"Oh that Archer guy?"

"Yeah him." Mia said.

"Kind of creepy and far to pale to be healthy." Laura said coming around her desk.

"Hell yes and he was giving me an attitude out there. Thinks he's all that just because he's a Lieutenant Colonel. Feh I could so kick his ass." Mia said.

Laura laughed and they left the room to go home, they lived close to each other so they could pretty much stay with each other the entire way. Laura was still in full uniform looking professionalbut Mia now had he jacket off and slung over her shoulder in a very casual way with her other hand in her pocket.

They walked down the crowded street past all the restaurants and stores when both girls stopped at the same time. "Ya got that feelin'?" Mia said wrinkling up her nose and looking down to Laura and dropping her jacket to the ground.

"Yes…" She said.

There was a gun shot behind them and they saw the bricks in the building in front of them crumble a little bit. They both turned around and saw the same person that tried to kill Roy before. He sent out another bullet and it hit Mia dead on the shoulder.

"Ya couldn't hit the other one could ya?" She said under her breath and blood began to poor out of her wound.

Laura and Mia whipped out there guns, Laura from the inside of her jacket and Mia had her holster on. They fired several bullets and shot him, but her did not die they made sure that the shots were not fatal.

Mia walked over to him with Laura fallowing and Mia kicked his gun away and in Laura's direction. Who stopped it and bent down to get a better look. He was about to try and get up when Mia put her foot down on his chest and pointed her gun at him. The people who ducked from the shooting began to stand back up slowly being curious about what was going on.

"I'm gonna go get Roy." Laura called and started to run or limp as fast as she could back to HQ Mia was about to protest and say she would go because of Laura's leg but she really didn't need to start an argument right now.

"Alrigh' spill it, now what is your name and why the hell are ya trying to kill us!" Mia said looking back down at the man.

"The military are nothing but ass holes that kill the innocent!" He screamed at her and a trickle of blood came out of his smirking mouth.

"Why thank you for the complement, but that don't help me!" She said pushing down on his chest more. "Now tell me your name!"

"I'd rather die the help you!"

"That can be arranged, but then I wouldn't get anything from you! So tell me your damn name and why you're doing this!" Mia said.

"I thought I already told you why… because the military is nothing but murderers." He said as his voice weakened.

"Oh not this speech again…" Mia said. "Look I get your point of view, well actually I don't get it at all… nope not one bit. But I need you're name and if ya don't give it to me now I can just search ya when you're dead so what'll it be?"

"I'll never help you…"

"We got that part…" Mia said sighing. She turned her head when she heard Roy running down the street with Laura closely behind and a few soldiers including Ross and Bloch. "About time." She said as she lifted her foot off his chest and Roy walked up to him with his fingers in the snapping position.

"Why are you trying to kill my men!" Roy yelled.

Mia, Ross and Laura cleared their throats louder then they would normally.

"Ah… er… women too I guess…" He said glancing at them and then back at the man.

The man smirked and his one arm was underneath him he quickly whipped it out with another gun in his hand and before he could shoot Roy snapped his fingers killing him.

Everyone that was left on the street screamed and ducked as the flames came out of no where.

"Brigadier General…?" Ross said stepping forward.

"I'm fine, get the investigations department here stat, I want to know who this guy is." Roy said as a few of the people that came with him started clearing the street of all the civilians.

"Already here!" Maes said walking over with a few people from his department. "Hold on a minute though." He walked over to Mia. "Looks like he got ya huh?"

"Oh yeah, it's nothing." Mia said holding her arm as blood seeped through her fingers.

"Don't be an idiot…" Maes said as he put a sling around her arm.

"Dr. Hughes today huh?"

"Laura said you got injured so I decided to come prepared." He said as he tied a bandage around the gun shot and Mia winced slightly. "There keep that on."

"Okey dokey." Mia said looking down at her arm. "Will this spoil the dinner plans?"

"We'll see." He said as he walked over to the charred body of the man and started to talk to Roy.

"You okay?" Laura said as she walked over.

"I'm fine just a hole in my arm nothing serious. Don't hurt much."

"Stop it…" Laura said and she poked her arm.

"Ow! What the hell!" Mia said holding herm.

"See it hurts."

Mia grunted and looked back to the chaos that was going on, on the other side of the street.

"Come on best get you over to the hospital." Laura said.

"Yeah, I guess." Mia said and she walked over to Maes and Roy who were still in a deep conversation about the recent events. "Hey people." They both looked over to her. "I'm headin' over to the hospital, see ya later."

"Okay, bye." Roy said.

"See you tonight at seven!" Maes said.

"We're still having dinner?" Laura asked.

"Well yes, something like this shouldn't spoil our fun and Mia you'll be completely fixed up in an hour or so. But I figure we'll all need an extra hour to get ready now so it's seven instead of six. Okay?"

"Okay." Mia said. "See ya at seven then."

Laura and Mia walked over to the hospital. "Do ya want me to get anything?" Laura asked.

"No I'm fine I can walk there on my own, it's not that bad and don't you dare poke me again." Mia said glaring at Laura.

"Oh my goodness are you okay?" The woman at the front desk of the hospital said. "Well of course you're not, this is from what happened out I the street a little while ago isn't it?"

Mia let out a short laugh. "Yeah…"

"Well come on let's go get you cleaned up. Is the bullet still in? Or don't you know?"

"It ain't in anymore, it's not that bad I've had much worse trust me." Mia said. "Bye Laura I'll see you tonight okay?"

"Okay but don't go if you don't think you can." Laura said shaking her finger as she began to leave.

"I'm fine I'll be there, still have three hours." Mia said and then turned to the nurse. "Okay give me whatever so I can get outta here." Mia said.

"No problem." She said as she looked at the wound. "It's really not that bad…" She said and got a doctor in to exam it further.

About an hour and a half later they let Mia out of the hospital and she headed home with a bandage on her arm and it was in a sling. As soon as she got back she washed her bloody uniform and changed into some pants with holes in the knees, a shirt and a pair of boots. She only had to wait about a half an hour until she had to leave to get there.

She had only been sitting there about five minutes when there was a knock at her front door, she went up to answer it to find Laura.

"Hey, what are ya doin' here?" Mia asked.

"Well I saw you come home so I thought I should come and say hi, so hi!"

"You're board aren't you."

"Oh lord yes."

"Okay you can hang out 'ere until we go over to Maes's." Mia said as Laura walked in.
