Walking Out of a Nightmare

Chapter 2: Carley Misfortunes
The gundam pilots landed 8 miles from the base. They setup camp. They then saw mobile suits came out of a secret entrance from under the sand.
"That's where they come out of! Dr.J said it was hidden. Now all we have to do is get in side. But how?" Carley sat and pondered
"Lets wait till tomorrow, to attack. And form a plan tonight." Heero stated flatly
"Fine, tomorrow." They all agreed and went to bed
The next morning, Relena was the first to wake up. She sat and watched as the sunrise. She returned to camp, to see the rest of them up. They had formed their plan last night. Relena, Quatre, Duo, and Carley would go and sneak in first as soldiers from another base. They would then load the information onto a disk. Return back to camp and Heero and Wufei would blow up the base.
After breakfast, they headed out. They knocked out four guards and took the uniforms. They headed to the control room, where the Commander was. Duo told him their commands from their previous leader. They were accepted because the guy was a total flake. They stayed while he went.
Quatre loaded all the files on them and contacted Heero they would be out in 30 min. and to get ready to attack. As they ran past the cells. Guards started to run after them and shoot. Carley was shot in the back of the leg twice. She tried to run, but it was useless. She made the others run ahead of her.
"Go with out me!" She ordered the other three.
"No! You can make it. It's just a little farther." Relena urged her
"I'll slow you three down, go before they catch you!" The three pilots left, saying a silent prayer that she would make it out of the explosion.
They got out with only a few scraps and scratches. They got far enough were they wouldn't feel the effect of the explosion. They saw Heero's and Wufei's gundams flying to the base. But in that time, Duo made a choice, which could end his life, total.
"I'm going back." He started walking to the base
"Duo are you crazy?! You could get killed!" Relena yelled to him
"Don't worry! You can count on me coming back with Carley." He then turn to run to the base
Duo got to the base just as Heero and Wufei did. He ran inside, and checked every cell. He couldn't find her. This was bad. He had less then 2 min. to find her or they would be dead. Finally, He found her on a cot in one of the room. He broke the door and picked her up.
"Duo…" She said as she passed out
'I have to get her out before its to late.' He thought as he ran through the halls. Duo looked out the window and saw Heero ready to fire, along with Wufei. 'Not good.' He reached the door and ran to where Relena and Quatre were waiting. Then there was an explosion.
"Duo! You could have gotten killed!" Relena yelled
"I'll deal with you later! We have to help Carley." He laid her on the ground and looked at her leg.
"She has to go to a hospital. She loss to much blood." Quatre looked at her leg
They got back to the base just as Nataku and Wing 0 landed. Heero and Wufei jumped out of the cockpits. They walked to the others. They saw Quatre on his cell phone and duo praying. Relena and the girls sat around Carley and tried to stop her bleeding. They had gotten the bullets out, but couldn't stitch her up, at least not in these conditions.
"What's with you people?" Heero asked
"Carley's hurt bad. Two bullets hit her in the leg. We got the bullets out but she lost too much blood in the process." Relena explained, "She 's unconscious, meaning she could die if she doesn't wake up."
Quatre had gotten of the phone when Relena was explaining everything. He truly felt sorry for the girl. He looked at Duo, who had his back to them. 'The must like her.' Quatre thought. He walked over to him and sat next to him.
"Duo, it wasn't your fault." Quatre tried to comfort him
"If she came with us or I got to her sooner, this wouldn't have happen." Duo lowered his head
"I wasn't your fault." Relena sat next to him
"How can you say that when you yelled at me not to get her?" He glared at her
"Carley has always taken the pain, when the others and I couldn't. So I figured she'd get out of there alive and she will live." She patted his shoulder
"Here's some good news though; Miss. Noin is sending a shuttle. Carley will be sent to the nearest hospital." Quatre announced
"How long will it take to get here?" Relena asked
"An hour or two."
"Quatre, she may not make it by then." Relena said sorrowfully
"If you say who she really is, then she will make it." Duo stated
"Let's just hope." Relena prayed
The shuttle came an hour later. Unfortunately, Carley was still unconscious. The other took their gundams. Duo was also bringing Carley's gundam. They reached the hospital. Just as the doctor came out to look for them. His face had a grim look.
