Diaries of Maxwell and Yuy: Chain of Commands
Chp. 2: Across Oceans
Heero gripped the armrest of his seat, having no taste for planes whatsoever. Duo, on the other hand, stared our his window, laughing, "Dr. Yuy, isn't this fun! We get to fly like this for 10 hours!"
Yuy gritted his teeth "Oh yes, Maxwell…what a blast…" This was going to be a long ride.
The hours ticked away like thorns, drilling boredom into the two teachers. Duo lay upside down on his seat and Heero smacked a paddleball at the attendants as they hustled by.
"Have you ever noticed that whenever we encounter turbulence, the flight attendants rush around and offer drinks?" Maxwell noticed dazedly.
"Hn…and to think we're certified professors with PhDs and everything." Yuy stared out the window over Duo's shoulder.
"What do you mean?"
"Here we are sitting on a plane headed for Ireland on a missing persons case in which usually certified detectives are hired until they need us when we could be back in the United States teaching and enlightening the minds of tomorrows future." He sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"Er…I don't follow you…" Prof. Maxwell scratched his chin, contemplating the speech.
Heero sighed "Nevermind."
The craft bounced a little as they hit the runway. Yuy still gripped the sides of his seat like all hell was upon him. Maxwell laughed openly "Now, wasn't that pleasant?"
"Oh yes, I feel so refreshed." Heero muttered, standing to stretch aching limbs.
"Oof, that feels good." Duo yawned and grabbed his suitcase from the overhead compartment.
"Next stop, the baggage claim." Heero growled, tired after having not slept on the flight.
"I can bet you my next paycheck they lost one of our bags." Maxwell mumbled, hustling off the airplane.
They forced through the tight knit aisles of embracing family members through the doorway marked "Baggage Claim -" Yuy shoved passed a middle-aged woman in a high-necked trench coat and a dark brimmed hat.
"'Ey! Watch where your going next time, ass!" She shoved him forwards, her ankle length pink hair falling loosely out of her coat.
'This girl is trouble.' Heero thought, being pulled to his feet by Maxwell. He growled in her general direction "Well you should have let me through!"
"Huh." She scoffed and turned on her heel, striding away.
Maxwell grumbled and checked the baggage claim, leaving Yuy to ponder his own thoughts. "I was right, they lost the bag with my papers in it."
Heero shoved Duo over to the "Lost Baggage" department and complained.
"Sarry ser. Oi kant get yore bags t'ye fer t'next few days." The man shrugged innocently "Bet leave yer ad'ss wi' me sos I kin mail it tae ye soons pos'ble."
Maxwell muttered and left the address "Damn airlines…I always loose something important…"
Heero's first attempt at hailing a cab failed miserably. "Damn it! Someone stop!" he leapt in the middle of the road and stopped the next passing cab.
Duo blinked and shoved the bags into the car's trunk "That was effective…"
"Damn right it was." Yuy slammed the trunk down heavily.
"Eesh! That could have been my fingers!"
"Then you wouldn't have them if they were, get in the cab."
As they drove through the serene Ireland countryside, Heero's thoughts drifted back to the girl. Why did she feel like a threat? Who was she anyway? Why was she so over protective?
