The two pilots hands screeched along the metal causing Rothen and any other people down below to look up. The three men below the open shaft looked at each other and then climbed a chair and shined his flashlight toward the opposite direction the pilots were coming. The two gundam pilots toppled over the soldier's head and then fell in heap on the other side. The soldier yelled in surprise. His two buddies inside the office with him looked up at him.
"John what's wrong?" one with a heavy British accent asked.
"It's not that cold up there!" the other one said.
The one called John opened his eyes and looked down the shaft but saw nothing.
"I could of sworn…" he whispered.
"Well will you get down here? Its bloody cold in here with that vent open!" the British soldier yelled rubbing his arms.
John stepped down from the chair after closing the vent and scratched his head.
"I don't understand it…I thought I saw two men go flying down the shaft…"
The Briton shook his head, "You up all night last night. Get some sleep."
John sighed. "Yea maybe you're right Charles. I have been working hard lately with the blue prints and all…"
Charles patted his back and the two exited the room.
Trowa and Heero looked at each other from their hiding spot, not far from the room where the two soldiers had been talking. It was a shaft that went up ward and the two had their legs pressed on one side and their back on the other. Hearing the word blueprints the two snapped out of their numbness and climbed down.
"Where do you think they'd put them?" Trowa asked.
"Most likely the superior officer would have them.." Heero said.
"Rothen…" Trowa whispered.
Heero nodded and the two went back down to his office.
"Where could they be!" Kawa yelled. "They've been gone for hours, what if they were caught!"
"Calm down Kawa." Quatre said looking over at her from a couch in the coffee room. "Heero and Trowa know what they're doing."
Kawa sighed and sat next to Quatre on the couch. "I hope you're right."
Quatre smiled. "Those two are some of the smartest people I know."
"Then you don't know some very smart people." Duo muttered from a recliner across from them.
"Duo!" Kawa yelled.
Duo put up his hands innocently. "What?!"
Trowa and Heero were now in Rothen's office. They had waited till he and his guards had left and then quietly removed the vent and dropped in. Trowa stood by the door listening for any movement of the knob or someone walking down the hallway. Heero searched the desk for any type of information. His face went from a determined to find something face to a face of disgust.
"What is it?" Trowa asked.
Heero held up a porno magazine. "We have a sick man for an enemy." He replied.
Trowa shook his head and went back to listening.
"Someone is coming." Trowa said.
Heero pulled open a drawer and pulled out a vanilla colored folder. He opened it to reveal blue prints and information sheets. He grabbed some of the copies inside and then shoved the folder into the drawer.
"Lets go." He said climbing into the vent.
Trowa ran and then jumped from the chair into the vent with ease.
"Show off." Heero muttered as he covered the vent up again.
Trowa grinned. "I was in the circus for 10 years, you would think I learned something."
Heero smiled and the two continued on down the shaft. As they reached where they had fallen in they stopped.
"We can't climb back up." Trowa said.
Heero looked down the shaft and saw an Aries approaching.
"No but we can hitch a ride." He said.
Trowa followed his gaze and smiled. "This should be interesting."
The Aries shot upward and the two pilots jumped on top of it holding on. The metal hatch above them opened to reveal a sky full of twinkling stars and a bright round moon.
As the Aries shot up and out of the shaft the two pilots jumped and rolled into some bushes.
Trowa sat up grass and leaves sticking out of his hair. "We made it." He said.
Heero stood and brushed the leaves and dirt out of his hair and clothes. "We better get back…I'm sure Kawa is worried sick about you." He said walking off toward the gundams.
Trowa smiled hearing his girlfriend's name and followed Heero.
"John what's wrong?" one with a heavy British accent asked.
