Tide beach Chapter six
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Opening Wufeis wallet Hilde dug through it, there was $25 in bills and a
few
Quarters. There were also a few pictures, but they were the kind that
came
with the wallet. A thick bundle of business cards, most of them from
government officials.
"Now how did he come by all of these?" Hilde wondered as she carefully
read
every card, one of them belonged to Lady Une, who every body knew was the
head of Preventers, at least Hilde thought every body knew.
"Howards Salvaging inc.," one of the cards said in bold green on pink
paper.
Hilde wrinkled her nose and wished her boss had better taste, as she
recognized it to belong to the older guy Duo had convinced her to work
for
after they had moved to Earth.
"Wait! What is Wufei doing with this card at all?" Hilde demanded to know
of
the empty room. Of corce there was no response.
Frowning Hilde got up from her chair and started to pase. Holding the
ugly
card she tapped it a few times.
'Was this just a coincidence?' She was now questioning silently. Hilde's
father would have told her "there were no such things, every thing
happens
for a reason."
'So what's the reason for me to punch a good looking guy and then find
out he
has a card from the place I work?'
She looked more closely at the card, it had Duos handwriting at the very
bottom. "my home number 883-9427"
"He know's Duo?!" She shouted, thoughts rushed rampant in her mind. 'How
did
they meet, and when? Does he know I'm Duo's room mate?'
Forcing her mind to slowe down she thought of her encounter with Chang
Wufei.
He had not seemed to know her at all, and there just was not any
plausible
reason for him to fake not knowing her.
Now wanting to get a hold of the young man from the beach more than ever,
Hilde went back to where she had left the wallet.
Going through it theroly she did not find much else, just some receats
and
the stub off of a theater ticket. It was from a Chinese opera from last
year.
Sighing, Hilde decided to search both jacket pockets. The first one,
where
she had found the wallet, was empty, however the second had an ID card.
"Preventer :Chang, Wufei" Were printed in bold letters with Wufei's
picture
beneath.
'He lookes much better without a broken nose,' Hilde thought flipping the
card over.
On the other side was all the information Hilde needed, not only did it
give
where Wufei was stationed to work but also his home address.
"He works with Duo," Hilde said as the pieces of the puzzle were put to
gather in her head.
She had given Duo one card from work a couple of weeks ago, so that he
could
get a hold of her incase of any emergences.
'Duo must have met Wufei at work and given him this card.' Since Duo did
hang out at the scarp yard to eat lunch with her it made since he would
use
the card.
Hilde recalled her idea of de-braiding him because of their bet, and
wished
the brown haired boy was home.
The phone's ringing interrupted her thoughts.
Flipping the switch she was now facing her boss. "Oh, hi Howard!" Hilde
said
smiling.
Despite what she considered his pore taste the older man really was nice,
and fun at times.
"Hey there Hilde," He said in his relaxed manner. "I need you to deliver
some scrap to the melting station over by South mills." Howard stopped
while
he pushed his shades back up his nose. "Can you do it for me?"
It was on the tip of Hilde's tongue to say no, after all this was her
only
day off this week. However she remembered that South mills was only a
block
or two from the address on Wufeis ID card.
It would take her two or three hours but after taking care of the
delivery
she could stop by Wufei's and give him his jacket back. And maybe
question
him a bit.
"Sure, I'll be at the scrap yard in 20 minutes" She said smiling
brightly.
"But you owe me an expensive dinner!"
"Just tell me when and where and I'll buy all you can eat," Howard
replied
smiling back before he said "bye" and faded off of the screen.
Stuffing every thing back into Wufei's wallet Hilde was soon ready to
leave,
with all of Wufie's belongings in hand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
It was late and Wufei was tiered.
After getting back from a fast pased walk he had spent a half hour
filling
out his paper work. Then had went to file it away and put evidence in the
lockers.
however the security guard would not just let him put it away with out
first
showing his ID.
That was when he realized Hilde still had his jacket, along with his ID
and
wallet.
Spending twenty minutes arguing with the guard he almost got kicked out
of
HQ. Thankfully Quatre had showed up and spoke with the grouchy old guard
before Wufei had done something drastic, like brake the guards neck in
frustration.
Then Duo had some how conned him into doing his paper work, Wufei had
spent
the entire hour doing Duo and Quatre's paper work wondering how he got
conned and what the "important meeting" Duo was wanting to go to.
After Sally left Wufei did not have to wonder about the meeting any more,
but instead why Sally was trying to keep it a secret. Why could the woman
truest him to cover her back in the most life threatening situations but
not
with who she was dating?
Now walking home from HQ, he wanted nothing but to go to bed and forget
the
crazy day.
'Well not all of it,' Wufei thought smiling as he pictured Hilde in her
bikini again.
'You're going soft,' he thought frowning. 'Straighten up,' He ordered
himself.
With that Wufei started running the rest of the way home.
Once the familure site of his small house was in view, Wufei slowed down
and
went to pull his house key from his pocket.
Not finding it Wufei let out a curse, his key was in his jacket.
Checking the front door Wufei fond it locked and curesed himself for
sticking
so closely to his stricked habbit of keeping the house locked up tight
when
not at home.
Walking around to the side of his house he tried opening his bedroom
window,
it was the only one lowe enough to the ground that he could get in
through.
Much to his chargen it would not budge.
Deciding on a corse of action he begain searching in the dark for a rock
to
brake the window with. To his suprise he found one without tripping or
hurting himself in the dark.
Lifting it up abouve his head Wufie smiled. 'Something is finally going
right to day,' he thought as he took carful aim for the little window.
Click
Wufei froze in place as he recognized the sound of a gun being cocked.
"Don't move!" The female's husky voice demanded.
To day just was not his day.
