Chapter 4 – The Truth Will Set You Free
Heero had never liked being knocked out, especially now. He opened his eyes, immediately feeling a headache throb in his temples. He couldn't see too much, due to the fact that his vision was blurred as well. He groaned as he tried to get up off the floor. His vision cleared and he could tell that he wasn't in Kansas anymore. All around him were computers and electronics of all kinds running on the floors and the walls. He figured that the building was an airplane hanger. The place was throbbing with electricity. There was so much energy in the place that Heero could actually hear the humming of the electricity. The place must have a pretty big generator nearby, Heero thought. He noticed a door on the far end of the hanger. He started to move towards the door when a voice came from behind him. "Heero! Glad to see you're up." Duo said. Heero turned around and noticed that Duo was there with the two guys he saw earlier in the stadium. "Duo. What is this place?" Heero asked. "You're resting place," Duo said. "So, after all these years, you're going to kill me?" Heero asked. "That's the plan, you know too much." Duo said. "Well, you're forgetting one thing. If I fail to report, Trowa replaces me." Heero said. Duo chuckled. "I trust he will be more successful. You have distracted me long enough and I don't plan on being distracted any longer. Goodbye, Heero." Duo said. Duo began to walk out of the hanger. Heero was desperate to stop Duo from killing him. In fact, Heero was scared of dying. "Well, he knows what I know." Heero said. Duo turned around to face Heero. "You haven't been able to transmit anything of any importance to Commander Une since you found out who I was, so they don't know anything. Stop trying to save yourself Heero." Duo said. Heero had only one last chance to stop him. "There was a camera at the stadium. I planted it. It was direct feed to Une. So, she does know everything." Heero said. Duo was phased. Was Heero telling the truth? "You lie," Duo said. "Can you afford to take that chance?" Heero asked. Duo thought about it a moment as he paced the floor. He stopped after a moment and looked up at Heero. "You're right Heero, you're better off staying alive." Duo said. Duo walked up to Heero. Heero knew Duo was about to pull something, he just didn't know what. Duo pulled back a fist and quickly punched him in the face. Heero flew back to the floor. Heero played along with Duo's little act. He pretended he was knocked out. He knew one thing, Duo definitely knew how to hit harder. The two thugs from the stadium picked Heero up and carried him outside. Heero opened one eye as the left the hanger. They were out in the middle of what could have been anywhere in the Rocky Mountains. Duo really was prepared for anything, for outside were five BMW's and about ten other men. The two that were carrying him must have been bodyguards of some kind. These other men were about Heero's size. One of the men handed Duo a laptop computer. Duo sat on the hood of one of the cars. He closed his eyes quickly as the two bodyguards put him in the backseat of one of the BMW's. As soon as the two were gone, he opened his eyes and looked at the ignition. "Stupid." Heero whispered. The keys were in the ignition. Heero took his chance. He jumped into the front seat and started the car. Duo turned as the car started. He was shocked. He turned to his two bodyguards. "You put him in the prototype?" Duo screamed. He pulled out a gun and shot one of them dead. As Heero began to peel out, Duo turned to the ten other men and screamed, "Get him!!!"
Heero was taken aback as he started the car. A female voice came in one a speaker. "Welcome, please fasten your seatbelt. It's the law." The voice said. Heero ignored it as he peeled out and did a one-eighty. He floored the car, trying to reach the top speed of the car, which was 170 mph. He was curious as to the model of BMW he was driving. He looked at the dashboard. It said 750il. He was happy. He knew the car had some extras installed. GPS tracking, four-wheel drive, and the voice system he heard earlier. "Please speed up, tailgaters approaching," the voice said. Heero looked behind him. Three more BMW's were following him. Heero looked at a sign he was about to pass. It read: ROAD CLOSED DUE TO BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION. Heero figured that at the car's top speed he could jump whatever came about as long as there was an incline. Heero noticed some buttons on the steering wheel. He didn't know what they were for, but he pushed them anyway. One button caused an oil slick to come out of the back end of the car, sending one of the BMW's flipping of the side of the road. Another caused a smoke screen, which didn't do much, because the other two just kept following him. Heero saw the bridge up ahead. "Oh, shit." Heero said. The bridge was bigger than he imagined. The jump was impossible. He figured the jump to be about 500 feet. It was impossible. He was a dead man. He would have to stop. But he noticed the last button on the wheel, marked "N". He was curious, so he pushed it. Immediately the boosted to an incredible speed. The car was going so fast that the speedometer couldn't tell! The car had to be going over 300 mph, Heero figured. The bridge was coming up so fast, he wouldn't be able to stop even if he tried. He screamed as the car hit the bridge's incline and flew over the enormous gap. Heero felt like all time stopped as the other side of the bridge came closer. The car began to fall. He was going to make it. "Oh, SHIT!" He screamed as the car came crashing down to the other side with a mind-numbing impact. The whole front end of the car buckled inwards towards Heero. The car moved still, but not far. The car sputtered and died about fifty feet from where he landed. Heero got out of the car and looked back at the gap. A smile came across his face. He fell to his knees laughing and cheering. He couldn't believe it. It took him a few minutes to control himself and he began walking down the road. After a few miles, he noticed the skyscrapers in the background. He passed another sign that read: Welcome to Phoenix, Arizona. Heero was hot and tired now. He had one thing to do before he would go get a hotel room, call Une and tell her the bad news.
