"Miss Relena, the Commander's quarters are clear across the base. If we're going to get out of here then we best be going before Gibson returns," Chris stated. He didn't get any reactions from her so he tried again. "Relena?" Still no answer. He snapped his fingers in front of her eyes to get her attention.
She stared out the window, not at anything in particular really. She felt numb and weakened. She couldn't feel her limbs and her heart was racing. She felt her eyes fill with tears as reality was starting to hit. Slowly, she turned her head towards Chris. He gazed at her in wonder; she stared back with the same. "Heero? When... When did you see him?" she asked, her voice fading to a whisper.
"I saw him about..." he looked at his watch quickly; he knew they had to get out of there, and soon. "Six hours ago."
Relena felt as though she would faint. Heero, Alive! She was so happy and relieved and, and, and she didn't know what else she felt but Heero was alive! That is all that matters now. As the tears of joy fell from her eyes, she asked, "Can we go to him?"
"Yeah, he's waiting for us right now, we must leave. Come now, hurry," she didn't realize it before considering all the excitement, but Chris carried a small English accent when he spoke. Standing there, as if still in a daze, Relena stared at Chris and he was becoming a little frustrated. "I wish now that Heero had told me how stubborn you were," he said as he grabbed her wrist. "We have to get going." He led Relena to the door, peeked out to make sure it was safe, and ran silently down the hall. The reached the corner and he glanced around, remembering which way to go. They headed left, towards the hanger where all the vehicles were kept. They ran to the end of the hall, took a left to the end of that hall, were about to turn right, but ran Chris ran into a guard and Relena came crashing into him from behind. The both fell onto the guard and onto the floor. "Come," simple word spoken as a harsh command, Chris pulled Relena Peacecraft to her feet and started to lead them down the hall again. They heard the guard yell at them to stop, but they continued on down the hall even as he called for backup. They finally made it to the hangar and Chris stopped them in the doorway. He searched the room quickly for the vehicle that was needed for their escape. "There!" he pointed to a black BMW on the far side of the hangar. It was running and there was someone inside. Relena tried to make out who it was but couldn't because of the poor lighting and because the car was still to far away even as they ran.
They reached the car and Chris opened the back door and pushed Relena inside, then ran to the other side of the car and jumped into the passenger seat. The car skidded out of the hangar and down the road out of the base. They flew down the highway and cut off about five miles down where the driver, still unseen by Relena who was watching out the back window as two military jeeps followed them, took a sharp turn onto a gravel road.
"How many?" the driver asked.
"Huh?" Relena replied, she didn't hear what was said over the incredibly loud music that was being played.
After another sharp turn. The driver turned his head to look at Relena through the rearview mirror. "How many?" he asked again before turning his head back to watch the road. Those eyes, she thought. I haven't seen those eyes in a long time. "Relena! Now is definitely not the time to go off into La La Land. Tell me how many jeeps Relena," he commanded.
"Two," it came just above a whisper.
"What?" he asked.
"Two!" she shouted over the music.
"Heero! Maybe you should turn your music down?" Chris shouted, asking him.
"Fuck no, this song kicks ass. I will never turn off my Limp Bizkit music, are you mad? Let's just worry about those jeeps," he said changing the subject. He drove the car around another sharp corner and swerved off onto another road. Relena screamed as she was thrown from one side of the car to another. "Seatbelts," was simply stated by the driver who seemed to be having way too much fun with this. Relena put hers on before that could happen again. Chris was sitting watching the road and grinning from ear to ear as Heero made his way through a forest, swerving along the road, barely missing trees. Heero Yuy and Chris were having fun with this while poor Relena was stuck in the back, holding her knees to her chest, trying to keep herself from screaming again whenever they came too close for comfort to the next tree. They made there way around a bend and heard a crash and explosion as one of the military jeeps smashed into a tree. "All right, Chris, take the wheel; Relena, move over." Heero waited until Chris was situated and in control of the car. "Keep it fast, but not so much that you can't make the turns." He climbed over the seat and sat next to Relena. He could tell she was scared, but couldn't help but smile at her and she looked at him with shock in her eyes. "Hey," he smiled to her before he rolled down the window and stuck his head out as they came out from the forest. The wind whipped his hair around his head as he reached for his gun and pointed it at the car. As his aim was set perfect, he showed a small smirk on his lips and fired the gun. Relena heard a tire blow and the car wipe out. She turned around and looked out the window as Heero pulled himself back in the car. She saw the car roll over five times before the people were thrown halfway out and the car exploded. She gasped at the size of the flames. "And that right there is the exact reason that you do not carry explosives in your car. Especially when you don't know that they're there," Heero smiled as he saw Chris laughing in the mirror.
"Should we head back then?" Chris asked Heero.
"Yeah, might as well." He turned his attention to Relena who was staring at the back of the seat ahead of her. Heero Yuy sat down now, fully on the seat. He watched Relena watch seat. "Did it move yet?" She slowly turned her head to him, confusion clearly shown in her eyes. "The seat, did it move? You're obviously watching it for some reason," he explained to her. She shook her head no. He just smiled back as she stared at him in wonder. She opened her mouth to speak to him, but he cut her off. "I'll tell you what happened later, I promise I'll explain everything."
"Hey Heero, well be back in about twenty minutes or so. Miss Relena, you should rest a bit," Chris stated to the pair in the back seat. "And no funny business Heero; be nice to the girl, no tricks or I'll tell her brother." Heero put his hands up to show they were not any place they shouldn't be. "Good," he smiled to them.

"THIS IS FUCKING NUTS!" the shout was heard throughout the Peacecraft Mansion. Everyone in the house, mainly the Gundam Pilots, Sally Po, Hilde Schebeiker, and Lucretzia Noin, ran to the living room where the shout originated. "Tell me what the hell is going on," a very angry Milliardo Peacecraft, A.K.A. Zechs Merquise, commanded to the man he was speaking with on the vid-phone. "You know where my sister is, but you won't tell me? I swear to you, if you do not tell me right now, I will hunt you down myself and kill you!" everyone stood back in shock, and tried to stay out of the grumpy Tallgeese's pilot's way.
"Geez, maybe I should have let her speak with you. She tried to explain that you were overprotective but this is crazy!" the man with the English accent said laughing.
"You will tell me where she is," Zechs commanded.
"All in good time my friend," his face suddenly became a little more serious. "All I'm aloud to say now is that she is safe where she is and no harm will come to her while we fix this whole thing. All right?" he asked Zechs.
"No it's not all right! Let me speak with Relena!" Zechs shouted.
"I'm sorry, but she's resting now. We has some fun earlier and she's really tired," the man said smiling, not realizing what he had just suggested to his captive's older brother. But as soon as Zechs eyes went wide he did and fixed his words. "I mean, on our way from the base she was being held at back to here." Zechs had a questioning look in his eyes. "I mean, she was in the backseat, and my friend, not me, climbed back there with her," not making the situation any better, the English man was making Zechs think that he was mental or something. Zechs glared at the man. "Woah, waitaminute! You are taking this completely the wrong way. My friend, Heero, wouldn't do anything like that to your sister, I mean sometimes he can be a little odd and do weird things but he wouldn't do that," he rambled.
Duo heard all of this and ran up to the screen, pushing a dumbfounded Zechs Merquise out of the way. "Wait! Did, did you say Heero?" the man nodded. Duo's heart began to beat faster. "As in Heero Yuy?"
"Yeah, do you know him?"
"Know him? Know him? He's only my best friend! Where is he? Let me talk to him!" Duo commanded and he was on the verge of flipping out on the man.
"Woah, calm down uh..." he stopped and looked off to his left. He turned back to the screen. "Duo, right?" He nodded. "Heero is here, but he's in with Relena right now, so- ow! What was that for?" He yelled off to the side. Everyone in the Peacecraft Mansion had crowded around the vid-phone. They heard whispering from the side and the English man turned back to them, rubbing his arm where he was hit when a bolt was thrown at him. "I mean, Heero isn't in there with Relena, he's right here," another bolt was thrown, "Holy fuck, what is your problem?" he received a glare from off screen. "I mean, Heero isn't here right like beside me now, he's in the other room making me lunch," he stated carefully, choosing his words.
"Chris you stupid fuck!" was heard from out of nowhere and a hand was seen slapping Chris in the back of the head.
"Ow! Bloody hell! Heero, what was that for?" Chris chided to the man next to him.
"Stop talking about me! And just terminate the damn connection already," Heero shouted at him, his face finally coming into view on the screen.
Half the people on the other side gasped. "Heero! You're alive!" Duo declared.
Heero looked at him and smiled, "Well no shit Sherlock. You seriously think I died? That wasn't even my Gundam that blew up on the beach! It was a new suit called a Scorpio. There were more after that one, and I didn't want to lead them back to the Sanq Kingdom and Relena, so I went off in the other direction. I thought you saw me when you yelled 'no' but I guess the explosion hid me pretty well. Waitaminute. You all thought I was dead? No wonder Relena nearly fainted when she saw me," he looked down in thought. "Well, I gotta go, well talk later when this is all over."
He was about to terminate the connection but Zechs jumped in, "Yuy! Who is behind this? Is it David Gibson?" he asked holding up the picture they found in Heero's desk.
"You were snooping in my office?" he asked. Heero then put a hand on his chest mockingly. "I'm hurt. But seriously yes, it is Gibson. And with how poor the security is on that base, we should be rid of him soon," He said looking at Chris who in turn nodded. "Don't worry about Relena, I wouldn't hurt her. Gotta go," he paused in thought. He smirked and added. "Relena's waiting for me, oh yeah and what I said before, I meant I wouldn't hurt her intentionally."
"Yuy!"
He terminated the connection.

Did ya know if you just sit down and write whatever comes into your head, you can write a chapter really quick? This only took me about an hour and a half. I just love Sundays.
I'll have the next chapter up soon, I just have to think about what I'm gonna write in it.
Well, ja!
