Part 2:

Trowa entered the front room and sighed softly when he spotted Duo curled up on the floor by the window. He quickly walked over and picked up the braided pilot of Deathscythe, cradling him in his arms like a baby. Duo stirred from his sleep and opened his eyes briefly to look at Trowa before letting out a sad sigh and falling back in to unconsciousness from exhaustion.

Quatre walked quickly into the study and saw Wufei sitting in a chair by the window reading a book. Quatre knew that his Chinese lover was also keeping a watch out the window for any signs of Heero returning. Quatre found Wufei like this every time one of the others were out on missions. Wufei wouldn't venture far from the window until one of his comrades had returned safely.

Wufei glanced up from his book when Quatre entered, and when he saw the concern on his blond lover's face he quickly got to his feet and walked over to him.
"What's wrong Quatre?" he asked him in concern.

"It's Duo, he fell asleep in front of the window last night while waiting for Heero to come back. Trowa said that Heero was supposed to be back from his mission last night and he hasn't returned yet, so he wants us to start contacting the scientists to find Heero. Trowa also said he'll join us in a few minutes after he puts Duo to bed." Quatre explained quickly as he started booting up his computer on the desk.

Trowa carried Duo up to his and Heero's room and tucked the braided boy into bed. As he was straightening up, Duo grabbed his hand to keep him from leaving his side. Trowa sat down on the bed beside Duo before explaining."Quatre and Wufei are contacting the scientists for information on Heero. One of us will come and get you when we find out anything, you have my promise on that, Duo. For now rest, if we need to go and get Heero, you will need to be at your best." Trowa told him softly, smoothing Duo's bangs back from his face with his fingers.

Duo nodded sleepily "Thanks Tro, tell Wu and Quat I said thanks for
everything." He stated before sleep pulled him back under.

"We'll find him, Duo, I promise." Trowa whispered before he stood up and
walked out, closing the door quietly behind him.

Trowa walked into the study in time to hear a round a curses from his small Arabian lover. He quirked an eyebrow as he met Wufei's gaze, both
walking quickly over to stand behind Quatre.

"Dr. J hasn't heard from Heero, but he does know that Heero was captured the first day of his mission." Quatre explained, frowning down at the computer screen.

"The first day of his mission?!" Wufei exclaimed, "Why didn't he contact us so that we could get Heero out of Oz's hands before now?" he asked.

"Because, Chang, unlike the rest of you, especially Maxwell, Heero is the Perfect Soldier and can get himself free without your help." Dr. J stated, ending the connection.

Trowa, Wufei and Quatre all exchanged glances.
"Do either of you know what Heero's mission was exactly?" Trowa asked his two lovers.

Both Wufei and Quatre shook their heads.
"Probably the only one that knows, other than J and Heero of course, is Duo." Wufei explained with a look of concern on his face.
