Lose and Gain
Chapter 9 'It's over'
Moonlight spilled over two sleeping figures. Heero was sprawled across the bed in a deep drug induced sleep while Solo lay curled close by him fists curled up by his face and mouth slackened. It was a picture of innocence and would have been perfect if not for the shadow that hovered over the pair casting a dark smear across the moonlight pair.
Trent unhooked the ropes that he'd used to scale the wall with and smiled. Hoping from the windowsill Trent hit the ground without making a sound. Entrance into the house had been surprisingly easy. There had only been three guards posted, Yuy must have sent the rest of them home. Calvin had taken them out only moments ago and was know watching the inside perimeter for movement or anyone else. "Yuy." He whispered softly. "You underestimate us, and over estimate yourself." Trent chuckled softly and crept toward the bed.
As he stood on Yuy's side he pulled his pistol from his pocket and pressed the metal to Heero's head. A smile spread across his face when Yuy didn't wake up or even flinch. Leaning close Trent whispered in Heero's ear. "Do you know how much I want to kill you? You were the only thing that kept me from getting the 'Princess'." Trent sneered and cocked the pistol. "You won't stop me this time Yuy." Trent paused and pulled the gun back. "I'm not going to shoot you now, but when Braddock's done with you you'll see. I'll shoot you right between the eyes." Trent narrowed his eyes and put the gun to Heero's head again. "Bang." Trent snickered and turned to the kid. "All right kid. You're mine."
Trent reached around Heero and grabbed hold of the child instantly jarring him awake. The kid screamed. Trent yanked the kid over Yuy by the arm and clamped his hand over the kid's mouth. Cautiously he eyed the sleeping man and backed toward the window again. The boy wiggled and squirmed under the hold, but Trent didn't release him. Turning around Trent ran the rope back through his harness and prepared to leave.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Heero blinked. Something inside of him was screaming at him to wake up. The funny thing was he couldn't seem to make it happen. His eyes were heavy and his body felt more tired than it ever had. Trying to shake his way out of the cloud he seemed to have fallen into Heero looked to his side. It took a moment for it to register that Solo was no longer there. Straining, Heero started to call the boy's name, but his voice was failing him, everything was failing him. In defeat Heero turned to his other side and barely made out the image of a man and something squirming in his arms.
Then it hit him. It was Solo. They had him. Heero wanted to scream wanted to run screaming to where the man stood, but could barely keep his vision from swimming. Somehow he managed to pull himself to his feet. Reaching for his nightstand he pulled his gun of the top of it. Everything was jumping in front of his eyes. Nothing stayed still. Half way to the window his foot hit something sending it crashing to the ground and the blurry figure in front of him moving.
"Daddy!"
The voice reached his ears and Heero pulled the gun out in front of him. He had to save Solo.
"So Yuy it seems you're awake, but I can already tell that you are less than yourself." Trent mused lightly and moved the boy in front of his chest to shield him from any possible gunfire. "Go ahead shoot me." He taunted.
Heero shut his eyes and shook his head trying desperately to clear his vision. "So you had to drug me to beat me." Heero said his words slurring almost to the point of ineligibility. "Don't make me kill you."
"Go ahead Yuy, shoot at me. You just might hit the kid. Do you want him dead." Trent held the boy out and Solo looked at Heero his lip trembling.
"Help me." He pleaded his little arms reaching out for Heero.
Heero paled when he heard the words. "Let him go Trent. What do you need with him? Quatre's dead. The council for the Mars project blames me!"
Trent shook his head. "I'm not so ill informed Yuy. Not everyone blames you. This will insure my safety and B…well my superior's as well."
Heero was running out of options. If he shot he could hit Solo and if he didn't Trent would get him and possibly kill him anyway. His mind was screaming for him to make a decision, but neither option was acceptable. He had to save him, but how. Heero watched helplessly as Trent moved back toward the window.
Sweat was pouring from Heero's brow and into his eyes. His arms and legs shook with the effort of fighting the drug. His whole body wanted to collapse onto the floor, but he couldn't let that happen. Trent took another step to the outside and Heero could see his form starting to leave. It was only a dark blur, but he knew what was happening and there was nothing he could do.
"If you want him back Yuy. Wait for a call. Don't contact anyone, or the kid dies." Trent laughter drifted into the night and Heero let his gun fall to the ground in defeat. He didn't know what to do. Just when Heero thought it was helpless Trent moved Solo away from his body. Heero could barely make out the difference in the two bodies, but he saw the separation. Lunging for Trent's body Heero slammed into him knocking him and Solo both out the window.
* * * * * * * Shuttle station 12:30 am
Braddock looked at his watch and cursed. 'Where was Trent and that idiot Calvin.' He needed the kid now. He had to leave for space by the next morning at nine. If Yuy didn't give the confession by then it would be too late, and the council would make a vote and he had a good chance of being pushed out. Worse than that the Preventer's had filed a report on Mars. They were in the process of obtained a warrant to search out what was there. If they found him out he would be put in prison for life and he wouldn't, couldn't let that happen. He was too close for any screw-ups.
"Sir the shuttle is ready to launch." A teckkie came around the corner and saluted Braddock. "We are ready to depart at 8."
Braddock nodded at him. "Just double check everything and get that fool Trent on my line!" Braddock finished and stormed off. "I don't have time for this shit!"
* * * ** * Outside the shuttle under heavy surveillance (same time)
"Base this is Sally Po. Respond." Sally eased back on her heels as she spoken into her com link. She made sure she whispered just in case there were guards surrounding the perimeter. "I repeat this is Sally Po. Respond."
"I don't think this is who you are looking for but I advise you stand up Ms. Po and hand over that communication device."
Sally turned her head slowly her hand on her gun. She came face to face with the end of another gun. The one that belonged to her capture.
"I don't know why you're hear or who you are, but if you don't surrender you weapons. You'll be sorry." The man cocked his gun and trained it between Sally's eyes. "Now hands up while I relieve you of your weapons."
Sally complied and slowly raised her arms. The man came toward her and still keeping the gun trained on her glanced down at the gun holstered to her hip. Sally watched him closely as he took his eyes off her and went for the gun. 'Big mistake.' Sally moved quickly. She brought her knee up and buried it in his stomach. Next she grabbed his arm and bent it backward. The man screamed in pain and Sally hit him again with the palm of her hand slamming his nose and breaking it instantly. The gun dropped from his fingers and he fell onto the ground thoroughly beaten. "Asshole." Sally mouthed softly and kicked him in the gut.
A deep static sound reached her ears and Sally reached down to pick up her radio. "About time." She said irritated. Sally pushed some hair behind her ear and pulled some handcuffs and a gag out of her pocket.
"What have you found out." Wufie asked ignoring her.
"That you suck at watching my back." Sally vented.
"What the hell are you talking about." Wufie yelled into the radio. "I've been watching my post and nothing has come in or out of it since I've been here."
Sally sighed heavily and looked back at her unconscious hostage. "Forget it. We can't get any closer and I have some one we can question."
"How?" Wufie asked.
"Sneaked up on me." She responded mildly. "I got it under control, but I'm not looking for an encore so lets get him back and drill him."
Wufie took a little while to respond, but he eventually agreed. "Fine. I'll meet you back in five."
"Yeah." Sally said and looked back at the man. "Now I'm stuck carrying you unconscious ass all the way back." Grumbling quietly Sally threw him over on shoulder and started the painstaking trek back to the car.
* * * * * * * * *
Heero was moving as quickly as he could. He was finding it hard to move now and his strength was failing fast. Reaching down with lightening quick speed Heero grabbed hold of Solo arms as he and Trent fell from the window. Heero was pulled half way out the window before he was able to get his footing and stop the fall. Solo slammed into wall and let out a cry. Trent, Heero didn't see him but he could hear the man's screams of protest as he fell for the ground. Heero heard him hit and focused on pulling Solo out. "Hold on." Heero coached him. "Just hold on." Giving a groan Heero started to pull Solo up the side of the house.
Calvin had heard the screams and come running. This wasn't supposed to be hard. Yuy was drugged and the kid, he was just a kid. When he flung the door open he saw Yuy wide-awake and leaning half way out the window. He could barely make out the man's words, but they sounded like 'hold on.' Calvin crept to the window and managed to get there without alerting Yuy to his presence. He peaked out and saw Trent lying on the ground unmoving. Rage built up in Calvin as he gazed upon his fallen friend and the boy hanging out the window. Calvin balled up his fist and slammed it into Heero's injured shoulder.
Heero felt the pain run through his arm and he almost let go of Solo who was whimpering in fear below him. Heero let out a cry as another hit directed at the same place hit slammed into his already injured arm.
"Bastard!" The voice screamed.
Heero felt his grip loosening as the other man continued his assault. Gathering up as much energy as he could Heero pulled his other hand back and slapped the man away and in the same motion pulled Solo through the open window. Both of them rolling across the floor with the impact and Heero barely had a chance to catch his breath when Calvin on him.
Calvin wrapped his arms around Yuy's neck and squeezed. His other hand punched him repeatedly in the side. He would bring Yuy to Braddock if he had to nearly kill the man first. Trent had failed, but he wouldn't. "Give up." Calvin hissed against the struggling man. "I know you're drugged. You can't last much longer."
Heero knew the man was right. His vision was blacking out and he didn't have the strength to pull the other man off of him. All he could think of as his vision began to fade was 'Solo, he has to run.' Heero could see his small hunched form despite the blurring of his vision and knew that if the boy didn't run the man would kill him. "Run." Heero croaked and looked at Solo trying to find the boy's eyes. "Run." He said again.
"Oh no you don't." Calvin cried and gave Yuy's neck a violent twist and left the stunned man on the ground as he went for the boy. Calvin almost had him when someone grabbed him and trough him backwards.
"Get out of here." Heero yelled again. He felt himself loosing it. There wasn't much left. His arm and leg where killing him and he was almost positive one of them was bleeding. He could hear his heart beating his ears. His vision was all but gone. He was almost gone. "Run Solo." He called again. "Run and hide." Before he could say more the blond man was on him again. Heero fought until he could hear the boy's hurried escape. 'It'll be okay.' He told himself as a punch in the face sent him into darkness.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Solo could feel the tears running down his cheeks as he ran. He didn't want to loose Heero, he didn't want to loose his dad again, but he had told him to run. So he was. Solo let a sob escape his throat as he heard another cry of pain reach his ears. He just wanted it to be over. Solo closed his eyes and ran as fast as he could. His little legs were tiring quickly.
As he rounded a corner in he ran into someone sending him flying backwards. Solo let out a cry and pulled his knees to his chest in defeat. He hiccuped and closed his eyes. He knew it was over. They had found him; the monsters were going to get him.
"Where is he at Solo."
Solo knew that voice. It wasn't a monster. Tentatively he opened one eyes and then the other. It was Sally. A smile immediately spread across his face. "Help him." Solo pleaded as his face fell again. "Help him."
"Tell me where he is." Another voice spoke up from behind. It was Wufie this time.
"In…In the bedroom." Solo said softly. "Help him."
"I promise." Sally said and scooped him up. "Now you stay right here with me and we'll get him back okay." Sally smiled at him and wiped his eyes and nodded for the others to go after Heero. "It's over Solo."
So what did you guys think. Just one more chapter to go.
