Chapter 10
Hein awoke once again to the sound of loud footsteps, as he normally did. This was quite convenient since he had sort of broken his alarm clock. He figured he'd gotten about an hour of sleep, give or take some, and probably wasn't awake enough to actually get out the door.
Several minutes later he was still lying on his bed, and had not moved an inch. He would have liked more sleep but the footsteps echoing down the corridor prevented that.
Finally, he sat up, stretching, and noticed his computer blinking to signify a new message.
Staggering over, he clicked the button and read it over. Most of it was a bunch of tot about how Dr. Sid had told them that he had refused to negotiate and all that. The only part that stood out in the entire message was "You have been demoted to Major".
---------------
Aki was only next door in her room when she heard a very loud "MAJOR?" shouted, obviously incredulous and she could only think of one person who could raise his voice like that.
Shaking her head, she slowly walked out of her room and went to General Hein's door, pressing the small beeper that notified him that she was there.
"What?" He barked from inside. Yep, he was definitely the one who had yelled.
Aki walked in to see a very abnormally pale, somewhere between angry and depressed looking General, "Um, are you okay?"
He gave her a dull look, "I've been demoted to Major."
Aki blinked, unsure of how to react, "Um, how?"
He glared at the air, "It was your precious Doctor friend who had me demoted."
Aki furrowed her brow, and crossed her arms slightly, "Why?"
"Well, he told them about how I wouldn't talk to you during the Zeus Cannon." Hein scowled, "I thought you were controlled." He took a step forward.
"No you didn't." Aki snapped, a sudden rush of anger running through her at the memory, "You just used me as a weakness in the council. You know that, and I know that. I could have you in jail right now, FOR LIFE if I wanted to, but you're not."
He narrowed his dark green cat-like eyes, "And I've been meaning to ask you, why am I not in jail?" He took another step closer to her.
Aki looked up, shocked, then slowly looked down, "I don't know…"
She moved to look back up into his eyes, and suddenly felt his lips pressed against her own.
