Heero awakened to a cruel laugh and a small clicking noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw figure sitting beside him.
'I'm on the floor' he realized.
"Ha! Hey little boy," a rough voice said, "Confused are you? Don't know where your girlfriend is? Ha!"
"It was then he noticed that Relena wasn't there, tied hand to foot, on the cold, concrete floor.
'Where is she!?" he thought in alarm.
Once again, the soldier laughed evilly. As if he could read his mind he said, "Your girlfriend is having…a chat with the CIC (commander and chief). HE is the captain's right hand. Humph. He doesn't deserve it." He added nastily.
Heero, who was struggling, said "Why not?" He was hoping to distract him.
"Because" he said, "he is a weakling and always making stupid decisions. Like this mission, for example. Looking for a Gundam that might not even exist.
Heero raised an eyebrow of interest.
'Heavyarms' he thought, 'that must be what Relena is having a chat about'.
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
"Ow! Stop that!" Relena yelled as the CIC brought his hand to her face. She fell to the ground.
"Tell me where that Gundam is!" He ordered.
"What Gundam?" Relena yelled, "I have no idea what the hell your talking about!"
Once again, the CIC connected his hand t her face.
"Shit! I know you know! Your father told me right before I killed him!"
Relena's jaw dropped. She remembered that explosion and her father's screams for her to run away. Tears were pierced her eyes like daggers.
"You! You asshole!" Relena screamed. She was sure Heero could here her, wherever he was.
"You MURDERED my father for information that I could've gave." She added.
"What?" the CIC said.
"That's right! I would've told you but you had to go and kill my father for useless information. What an idiot."
"Shut up!" the CIC said. He slapped her across the face, "Tell me where that Gundam is, now!"
"Never you shit head! I hate you and I am sure my father does too!" With these words, she plunged for the CIC. However, she was blocked by his bodyguards and soldiers. One soldier grabbed her by the arm but she jabbed her elbow deep into his gut. He stumbled back in pain and shock.
"Be careful! She is strong!" he yelled out. Several guards nodded in agreement as they fell to the floor. Relena didn't care about the 4 men she took down. She wanted to kill the CIC. To hurt him, make him suffer. She was almost there too but then she saw them. There stood a soldier holding up a gun…to Heero's head.
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
"Ah!" Relena let out as she tumbled to the floor. Heero followed shortly after.
"Where are we?" he asked as he sat up and leaned against a bed.
"In a bedroom" she said looking around.
Heero stared at her. Something was different about her face. It looked as if someone had…
"Relena? Did the CIC hit you?" he asked in concern as he moved closer to her.
She looked at him and unwillingly nodded. The last thing she needed was Heero to be angry.
"I can't walk Heero. My ankle is twisted." She said.
Heero looked at it and agreed. Then he looked at Relena. She was starting at the closet. The door was wide open. Something shimmered inside. Heero walked over to see what is was. He pulled out a tape recorder.
'They are listening to everything we say' he thought. Relena seemed to have the same idea because when she spoke, she mouthed the words to him. Heero couldn't understand so he got up and began looking for something.
"Heero, what are you doing?" she asked. It wasn't a question that could get them into trouble.
Heero didn't answer but he found what he was looking for. It was a black pen. He wrote on the floor to see if it worked. It did.
Then he wrote a note to Relena on a piece of paper.
[I think this is another form of communication] he wrote.
Relena smiled and replied {I agree}
[Got a plan?]
{Yes I do}
Heero stared at Relena. She just smiled and wrote,
{You have to leave here}
[No! I'm not leaving you alone here]
{Heero, we have no choice. I can't walk. Please go and take Heavyarms to Trowa. I'll be fine here.}
[I'll carry you there]
{That would only slow you down. Heero, there is no other way}
[I'll come back for you]
{Fine. Now when they come in, I'll hold them off and you go. They will catch me for sure but it should allow you some time to get out. The escape pods are down the hall, last door to the left. I noticed it when they dragged us here.}
[You sure you can hold them by yourself?]
{Well, for a little while} she replied and smiled again.
[I can't believe I am going to do this.]
{Well, better start believing because here they come}
They quickly stashed the paper under the bed as two soldiers unlocked and opened the door.
"C'mon miss Relena. CIC would like to see you now." One of them said.
Relena walked over casually and looked back at Heero and winked. When she reached the men, she took hold of an outstretched gun and used it for support to kick the other square in the face. He stumbled backwards leaving the doorway clear. Heero bolted out and looked back just in time to see Relena fall to the ground.
"I'll come back, Relena. I promise." He said as he ran to into the last door on the left.
'I'm on the floor' he realized.
