BETRAYAL??
"What a waste of time!" muttered Duo as he slumped onto the toilet lid in the corner "It was obviously a trap!" he stated darkly. Wufei lay staring at the ceiling on the one and only bed in the room
"shut up Maxwell!" he said angrily "there is no point to your incessant whining!" Duo looked sharply at his intolerant companion before grinning mischievously,
"Am I interrupting your beauty sleep Wu-man?"
"Do not call me by that infantile nickname, Maxwell! I Don't see why I had to be stuck with you anyway Trowa or Quatre would've been better company" he spat. Duo pretended to take no notice of Wufei's harsh words, keeping his idiotic grin pasted on his face, but deep down it had stung.
...The mission had been to break into one of OZ's bases, steal some top-secret data from the computers and destroy the base. Duo's skills in stealth had been needed to infiltrate the base. Once he had reached the main control room it didn't take him long to figure out that there was NO data; it had all been a set up and while he had been getting to the control room his comrades had been captured...
The rattle of keys in the door brought him back to the present; the guard dropped two bowls on the floor containing bread and water. On closer inspection the bread looked stale and the water smelled...funny. Duo decided to eat it, even though he hadn't had much of an appetite lately, but he didn't want Wufei to notice.
He regretted that decision half an hour later as he knelt on the floor by the toilet getting sick. Well, it couldn't have been the food because Wufei had eaten it too and it had had no effect on him but the food had definitely triggered it. Duo groaned and wiped his chin leaning against the wall 'Hurry up and save us Heero' he thought to himself, his stomach heaved and he lunged towards the toilet.
"Are you quite finished Maxwell?" Wufei asked irritably "You're interrupting my thinking!" Duo glared at Wufei
"Well sorrrry" Duo said sarcastically he was about to come up with a really smart retort when he heard a muffled "Uummphh" outside the door, apparently Wufei had heard it too because he was now looking expectantly at the door. They heard the turn of keys in the lock and the door swung open with Heero standing in the doorway.
"Hurry up!" Heero said, "before they find the guards" Quatre peeked from over his shoulder and urged them to hurry. Wufei jumped to his feet and was out the door in a matter of seconds. Duo however staggered to his feet and followed on more slowly. Heero tossed him a gun.
"C'mon Duo! We don't have all day," he said impatiently. Duo hurried after the four barely able to keep up. Suddenly his legs gave way and he fell to his knees breathing heavily. His strength ebbing with every labored breath.
"I think I'll just stay here you guys" he gasped. Heero turned his face livid with anger but when he saw Duo his eyes widened in horror
Duo was shocked when Heero had come back for him he had honestly expected him to leave. Heero grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet
"You'll have to help me Duo" he whispered kindly "I can't carry you the whole way so at least try to run" Duo nodded lost for words
He had no idea how but they eventually reached the shuttle. Trowa took control and started their flight out of there. Heero carefully lowered Duo into one of the seats and buckled him in. The Americans face was pale and his bangs clung to his sweaty brow. Each breath was more difficult and he was finding it harder to stay awake.
"Duo, Duo, can you hear me?" It was Quatre's voice, he sounded worried "c'mon Duo just open your eyes"
"Ithinkimgonnabesick" he mumbled trying in vain to open his seat belt. Quatre released him and he made a B-line for the toilet throwing up upon reaching his destination,
"that hit the spot" he grinned weakly. He tried to stand but collapsed to the floor only to be caught by Heero who lifted him and carried him back to his seat. Duo looked up at Heero as he was being buckled in again
"Thank you" he mumbled and closed his eyes
Heero frowned down at the now sleeping form of Duo, nobody should be that light. I wonder if he's been eating properly' Heero thought making a mental note to ask the American later. He leaned down and brushed Duo's chestnut bangs back and felt his forehead 'He's burning up!' Heero thought worriedly. He would notify Sally and have her check him as soon as they got back to the safe house.
