Secret Agent, Heero Yuy: Till Death Do Us Part, 8
Disclaimer: it's the same
AN: all I can say is ENJOY!!
{PART EIGHT}
Six came and went. Everyone grew more edgy and tense as the minutes ticked by. WuFei had already
snapped at Duo for tripping.
"Can it!" A loud, and apparently ticked voice shouted above everyone's bickering.
All heads turned to Heero was stood in the doorway.
"It's nearly seven. Traffic will be bad. Let's go," he stated, placing his gun in his holster. "No one says a
word. I'm giving orders here, so let's go."
Everyone stood up at the same time and scrambled to find their weapons.
"One second!" Hermione called over everyone as they started out the door. She disappeared around the
corner for a few seconds and then returned. She clipped something onto her jacket, and said, "okay, let's
go."
"What did you do?" Dorothy asked her.
"Nothing important…I just…uh…had to check something before we left," she stuttered. Quatre caught
her glance and he nodded. So did Sandy, and they were the last out of the room.

SEVEN-THIRTY ON THE DOT
Heero was the first out of the car, and he was blinded momentarily by the headlights of another car.
Raising his arm, he blocked a bit of the light out and asked, "who's there?"
Another man stepped out of the car, the headlights toned down, and Heero lowered his arm. This man
was much taller than Millardo, and he had short brown hair with a bit of a hairstyle like Hilde's. He wore
a crisp business suit.
"Heero Yuy?" He inquired.
"Yes," Heero confirmed.
"Are the other's with you as well?" He called again.
Heero was silent for a few seconds until he banged on the rooftop, and everyone else got slowly out of the
car.
A group of bodyguards now came out of the man's limo, and surrounded Heero's group.
"Up with your arms!" one shouted. The night was eerily calm, and his voice echoed throughout the empty
Canal.
There was no tourists, no boats docking, no cable-cars moving up or down the track, pulling the boats.
The place was deserted, and Heero had a sinking feeling that this man was the cause of it all. A bird
chirped in the distance and the sound of cars whooshing around on the highway in the distance could be
heard a bit.
The man smiled and introduced himself. "My name is Treize Khushrenada. I am working with lady Une
and Millardo Peacecraft. But you already knew that, didn't you, Yuy?"
"Yuy, Heero Yuy," Heero stressed, but never let his off wander from Treize.
"Of course," he said offhandedly. "Heero Yuy."
Heero said nothing as one of the guards came up to him. He was much taller than he appeared to be from
the distance, and Heero wasn't so sure he could fight this one off without getting pretty bruised up…
"If you want to see Relena Peacecraft again, put up no resistance. We're going to blindfold you and place
you with a partner." Treize smirked.
Heero gulped, but loosened up, regrettably.
"Ah, wonderful," Treize smiled. "Igor, go on…"
The guard came forward, dragging Duo with him, and tied their wrist together, so their backs were
touching.
"I heard you two worked on a case once before," Treize said with a smirk. "I heard Duo Maxwell here
wasn't so lucky…"
Heero glared at Treize before the blindfold went over his eyes…

Quatre and Dorothy were the last to be blindfolded. They watched Heero and Duo be blindfolded and then
shoved into the car sideways. After them were Sandy and Hilde, who were both yelling about being unfair
to be stuck together, then Sally and WuFei, Trowa and Hermione, and then finally them
"Should we make a run for it?" Dorothy whispered to Quatre.
"No, they'll kill us, or one of them," Quatre replied, shuddering.
Dorothy nodded and sucked in her breath as a guard approached her, grinning evilly. She leaned back as
far as possible, but in vain, she was blindfolded and her hands were roughly tied with Quatre's. Their
hands brushed and she felt a shock go up her arm.
'Will it end this way?' She thought sadly, as she was shoved and guided towards the car, almost bumping
her head on the roof as she ducked in. She felt Quatre intertwine his fingers with hers as a reassurance
sign, but she was grateful. She wouldn't admit, of course, she was extremely stubborn and was damn
proud of it. But she couldn't help but smile and give a squeeze back.

The limo lead them on a bumpy, smooth, twisty, loud, and quiet ride. When they first pulled out of the
Canal parking lot, Hermione tried to guess where they were going, as she had been here before, but that
was ages ago.
She first was leaning against Trowa's back, indicating they were going up a hill. Soon, she'd be wedged
in between him and the door. However, she never felt that. She knew they were going down a hill now,
but she didn't hit the door.
"Trowa?"
"Yeah?"
"Why aren't I hitting the door?"
"I'm supporting your weight," he replied. He turned his head a bit, she felt that, and she tried nodding,
on succeeding in banging their heads.
"Ooops, sorry," she answered, grinning a bit. Biting her lip, she continued to image the road, but failed
after a few more minutes.
Soon the car slowed, and the door opened. She was roughly pulled out, and Trowa had a hard time
keeping them upright.
Finally, the blindfold was off and Hermione looked around.
'No way,' she thought, 'crap…this will ruin everything…'
Looking around, she saw they were on an oil barge out at sea. It was station far enough away from the
city that if there was an explosion, you would only see it from afar. Hermione could make out the
twinkling lights in the distance, but they were being replaced by a fog that rolled in from the sea.
'Weird,' she frowned. 'Usually Panama doesn't get a fog…we must be out pretty far then…'
Dorothy, Quatre, Heero, Duo, Sandy, Hilde, WuFei and Sally were all still tied by the hands, and so was
Hermione and Trowa.
Treize lined them up somewhat, and grinned at them.
"My little puppets," he began. Everyone glared. "Well, I see you're not the cheekiest bunch, are you?"
"Where's Relena?" Heero asked venomously.
Treize sighed. "I see you are not very driven off task." He waved his hand and they followed him into the
building.
"You see, I figured that you would want to come after Relena. So, I have this idea for you. There is a
maze through this gate." He pointed behind him as he turned to face the group. An iron wrought gate
stood before them, high walls obscuring anything that might be concealed behind there.
"I heard Duo had some bad luck last time in one of these, so Heero will be with you the whole time."
With a snap, the guards placed them over on an 'X'.
Looking down, Duo gulped and Heero glared at Treize.
"Just what do you have up your sleeve?" He snarled.
"Why, a little friendly game, that's all," Treize replied, smiling. "You each will start at different points.
Your objective is to reach the other end before sunrise. There are bomb planted around the whole maze, so
once the morning comes…~poof!~ goodbye FBI and secret services!"
"That's sick," Sandy snapped, and Sally nodded in agreement.
"You can't possible let us in and expect us to get out," Sally added.
"Did I say I expected you to get out?" Treize asked humorously. "No, I expect you to die!" Laughing
gleefully, the other guards placed the other pairs on 'X's and at a press of a button, the were sliding down
different tunnels and landed each with a thud on a moldy ground.
"You have exactly six hours," Lady Une's voice called over a speaker. "Good luck and please die."
