Wufei knocks on the cheap wooden door and waits. He shifts his weight
for a bit and then takes a pose like some soldier ready for command. Wufei
places his hands behind his back and closes his eyes.
Drip
Drip
He looks down to see a puddle of water next to his shoes. He takes a
step to the side to avoid being hit. ("Cheap place . . . ") The door opens
just a crack and a pair of green eyes' look at him and then slams the door
shut. A few clicks and the door reopens to a short brunette girl. She smiles
and makes a gesture for him to enter.
"Welcome Wufei. Sally has been waiting."
Hilde tries to remain calm and collect while she tries to see the future.
However, in the back of her mind a small voice rings . . .
"He's going to kill you . . . "
("I know . . . but if I can see where the murder will take place, I
may be able to stop him.")
"Do you really think so? Do you really want to see another murder?"
("Of course I don't but the murder can't take place too far from here
. . . I can scream and there are many people around . . . ") An image flashes
before her . . .
"I see . . . "
"Yes?" He says with an excited voice; like a child who can't wait for
the ending of a great story.
"You're sitting on a bench . . . looking at your watch . . . a woman
with long black hair comes to you . . . She is wearing a navy blue outfit
. . . " Hilde can hear the man sigh impatiently as she draws her prediction
out. She does this in hopes that someone will come in and see the man.
If someone were to enter, Hilde would scream a warning to the woman.
"I know what she'll look like! Get on with the part where I KILL!!"
He says the word 'kill' with powerful emotion.
"You lead her away . . . to an alley."
"Yes?" There is that child like emotion again. He is acting like every
word that comes out of Hilde is spun with gold . . . like it is the most
amazing thing . . . he can't get enough.
"You . . . you're nervous." Hilde says in a puzzled voice. "Why . .
. " She tightens her eyelids close, trying to make out what has him upset.
She can see his hands. They are covered in sweat. She can't stop what he
is doing but he keeps looking behind him . . . as if he is being followed.
"Go ON!" He says, waking her from her stupor.
"Hold on . . . " Hilde rests her forehead on the door. "You . . . you
have an icepick now, taken from her left pocket . . . AAAAAAAAA!" Hilde
hasn't seen the murder yet. What made her scream and fall to the floor
is the fact that the very icepick she saw him take out of his pocket has
now puncher its self in the stall's door, missing her face by an inch.
Hilde can't stop the tears from coming now.
"This icepick?" He says amused.
"Y-yes . . . " Hilde holds back her tears and stands up. She turns to
face the door. The icepick is removed and a soft laugh is heard.
Duo sits on the same bench as before and takes in a deep breath. He
glances at his watch and then looks up at the clear sky. For January, the
weather is quite nice. People are outside with light jackets and maybe
a scarf.
"Maybe I will take a break . . . " Duo tips his hat to cover his eyes
as he adjusts himself in a comfortable sleeping/sitting position. Soon
all the noise disappears as he drifts of in a quiet, peaceful sleep . .
.
Duo jumps up and grabs his gun. He looks around and sees nothing but
confused people. Then he sees Hilde running out of the restroom. She is
holding her right arm and has a small limp to her run.
"HILDE?" He yells at her. She doesn't look at him. Hilde is instead
yelling at the people to tell her . . .
"Where did he go? Did anyone see a man run out of here? Anyone? What
the hell? Are you ALL BLIND? A man just ran out here! Someone had to have
seen him!" She grabs a man closest to her. She shakes him by the collar
of his jacket. "DID you see him?! HUH?"
"Let go Lady! What are you? Insane?" He breaks from her grip. Hilde
starts to cry.
"Come out you coward! You son-of-a- DUO!" She sees Duo running up to
her. Hilde smiles and makes her way to him. Little does she know that two
cops are after her. One grabs her feet, making her fall on her hurt arm,
while the other gets the handcuffs. He pins her arms behind her back, ignoring
her cry of pain and protest. Duo speeds up and tackles the officer. The
other officer pins Hilde down with one arm and uses the other to grab his
gun. However . . . Duo is much faster.
"Drop the gun now!" Says Duo. He is in the same position as the cop
who has Hilde pinned. Duo uses his knee to hold the cop down so he can
take out his badge. "I'm Detective Duo Maxwell and that lady is under my
protection. Unhand her or you will have to answer to Une and me!"
The officer looks at the badge and then to Duo and then to Hilde. Seeing
that the guy wasn't going to listen, Duo stands up. Duo keeps the other
cop down by pinning his wrists behind his back with his (Duo's) foot. He
points the gun closer to the cop who has Hilde. It is silent, no one moves,
speaks one even breathes. Suddenly, the sound of a faint plea for help
can be heard.
"Please . . . you have to stop him . . . " Says the voice. Duo and the
cops look toward Hilde. She sniffs back her tears. "He was here . . . still
here maybe . . . blond hair . . . he has blond hair!"
"Who?" Says Duo.
"The killer . . . he did this to me." The cop holding her puts his gun
away and moves off her. Duo does the same and kneels down beside Hilde.
He gently flips her over to examine her. Her right arm is covered in blood
and her left leg has a slash on the upper thigh. "Don't worry about me
. . . I'll live but I can't say much for the woman he is going to kill."
Hilde grabs Duo's collar and brings his face closer to hers "You have to
stop him!!! He has blond hair and is about my height! He's wearing a brown
suit!! STOP HIM!!" She places her head on his chest as she repeats the
words 'Stop him . . . ' over and over. Hilde lets go of Duo and falls to
the ground breathing heavily. Duo scops her up in his arms and stands up.
"Go and find a guy who fits that description!"
"But?"
"NOW!" The two cops get up and do as he says. Duo turns around and runs
for a taxi.
Hero sits on his bed looking out into space. He has been here for six
years. He is the war hero who killed thirteen women, the war hero who is
awaiting death. The only reason it has taken the sentence this long is
the fact that he is a war hero. In three days he will be put to
death. Hero has never said he did it and never will . . . they believe
him but he can't/ won't tell where he was during the murders . . .
"Relena . . . "
"Hero . . . why won't you let me save you?" Says Relena has she leaves
the prison. She knows where he was during the murders . . . he was with
her, the wife of the President of L1.
