CHAPTER 3- GUESTS
The girls were unconscious for many days, but each night, Duo and Heero came and visited them around the same time. It soon went on to weeks, and hope was beginning to drop rapidly for either of them. Trowa would come in each day and change the bandages, until Duo learned to do it himself. Heero started to change the other girls as well. Quatre would send for doctors every so often when they would transport them to his house. They now were saying there so the doctors wouldn't find the safe house. Wufei sometimes would get annoyed, but eventually stopped debating about the treatment of the girls; he lost every time. "Well, the doctor said, if they're lucky, the blond hair one will wake up anytime. But there is no guarantee," Quatre informed them with a sad face, "I really hope they make it, poor things. They don't know what they used on the girls." "They will, they have to make it," Duo said looking at the brown hair girl. "Why?" Wufei asked in a sly tone, but got no response. Trowa looked up at Duo for a long time, *he's not smiling; he has a stern face like this girl was his life or something. Maybe* he thought. Soon Catherine would come by and bring small gifts of food, but wasn't told about the unconscious girls. "Trowa, what are you keeping from me?" she asked one day. He looked at her, thinking about what he should do, "nothing" he said in a flat tone. It obviously was convincing enough, because Catherine didn't ask anymore.
One night when Heero was visiting the blond girl, something different happened. He was sitting by her bed when she started to talk in her sleep, "No…. control room…. access codes…. over 17382 at 93056…. can't fail…. They'll kill her, can't fail or Elizabeth dies…. target, 01, Yuy, 02, Maxwell…. no, won't kill anymore…." Her breathing was more rapid as she said this, like she was under pressure. As soon as she stopped, she returned to normal. Heero reached over and touched a finger to her lips, "Shh, no more killings going to go on. Your safe here with me…." he whispered to her. As he took his finger away, the girl's eyes slowly opened. "Yuy?" she said softly. "Heero, call me Heero," he replied in an equally soft voice. "Heero," she said in a drifted voice, as a small smile crept on her face; a peaceful one, just before she drifted off to sleep again. "Don't worry," he said, "I'm here for you." Then he put his index finger on her cheek. Slowly he moved it away, also smiling a little. *I wonder what all the numbers were about. They have to be some type of codes. Maybe I should take note of these, from what they put in her mind, I wouldn't be surprised* he thought as he left. He walked down the hall to his room he was currently staying in. Walking in, he locked the door behind him. Then started researching on his laptop. "Base…. 32165…. Downloading information…. Enter code, hmm, 17382…. I was right," tap, tap, tap, his hand worked furiously on the keyboard, "huh? Training procedure…. No wonder she was like that." For about an hour he researched, "damn, saved on one of the computers that was destroyed, huh? Another access code, um…. 93056, not the right one…. Wait, I thought I saw something, yes." He went back a couple of screens to where a small light was; it was tiny, only the keenest eye could see. "Code, 93056…." "Whacha' workin' on so late at night, research boy?" "Duo, how did you get in here?" Heero said, not even looking away from the laptop screen. "Well, you were concentrating to hard on whatever you're doing that I picked the lock and walked in. I was surprised you didn't hear me," he responded. "Hn, got to get a better lock, keep you out." "Hey! You don't like me, or something? I…." "Quiet," Heero interrupted him. There was footsteps coming from outside. He whispered to Duo, "the blond hair girl woke up, but she was talking in her sleep about something…." Then Duo interrupted, "She woke up!" his face lit up. "Yah, I tapped into the system and," he paused, "you hear that?" "What?" Duo said, now listening hard. After a few seconds it became clear to him. There was someone yelling downstairs coming from outside the window. Duo crouched down and followed Heero over to the window; fortunately the lights were off. "Hey! Let me go! What is the meaning of this?!" It was Quatre. "They, they got Quatre! Wait…. who are we dealing with?" Duo whispered to Heero. Heero was quiet, thinking about what was going on, "We destroyed the base, we must have missed something," he responded. "But how?" Duo said with a worried tone. "Hmm," Heero said as he walked over to his laptop and started putting it away; the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard around the house. "There coming," he said; then walked over to the window. Duo stuck his head outside to see what was going on. "They took Trowa and Wufei also, we're the only one's left," he reported. "Get out, walk along the side of the window," Heero said, looking towards the door. "What, are you cr…. wait I already no the answer," Duo protested as he climbed out. Heero could hear doors being kicked open throughout the house, *they'll be here in a couple of seconds* he thought as he climbed out the window himself. BANG The door swung open as Heero pulled his foot out of the window, he could hear male voices, "There not in here either," came one, "They couldn't have gotten out," said another. "Kuso, the girls!" Duo said smacking his forehead. "There in that secret room, Gundanium doors, and hologram in front to blend in with the wall," Heero replied. "But, but what if they find them," Duo stuttered with absolute horror written all over his face. "They won't," Heero said, nudging Duo to move on towards the bigger part of the shingled roof. "Ah!" Duo yelled as a shingled came lose under his foot. He quickly covered his mouth as Heero grabbed his arm. He was hanging of the roof only to be held up by Heero. A couple men turned and looked up, "Uh-oh," Duo said looking down. "Heh, heh, hello," Duo said waving slightly. The men looked up at him surprised and somewhat terrified, then picked up their guns. "Damnit Duo," Heero said under his breath. He pulled his friend up onto the roof as they started being fired at. "Uh, Heero?" Duo said while running. "What," Heero said, a bullet skimming his foot. "Um, where's your gun?" Duo asked. "How many time's, urgh, I'm unarmed," Heero responded. "HOW CAN YOU BE UNARMED?! Woe!" he said, a bullet whizzing past his face. "I took it out when I visited," he paused. "Visited who?" Duo said with curiosity in his voice. They jumped down from the top of the two story house as more men poured out of the top windows. "What about the Gundams?" Duo said, looking behind him as the incoming men fired. "Huh?" Heero looked down to see a hand coming from the side of the outer wall. "What the!" Duo said looking at it, a hint of terror on his face. Then the head of the girl with the three bullet wounds appeared through it. "She's getting out of the window that is covered by the hologram," Heero explained to the horrified Duo, "Oh…." Duo said, still looking at the girl strangely. She was holding in her hand Heero's pistol, she started to fire at the lead men. "So you left your gun by her bed, huh," Duo said, climbing in through the concealed window. He grabbed the other girl who was still unconscious on the bed. Heero grabbed some guns and two controls. The girl at the window had slipped her head back in, but had her hand out, still firing. Heero joined her as he pressed the buttons on the two remotes. Out of nowhere the new Gundams flew down near the house. "What about the others?" Duo said, climbing out of the window with the unconscious girl over his shoulder. Heero shot him a glance, "We'll retrieve them later, get them to safety," he said, pushing the other girl out of window. She looked back at him, "I will sta," she began, but was cut off by Duo, "We're going," he said grabbing her collar. "I'm not a child," she said as a enemy mobile suits landed near their troops. *Great, just like Heero. And some more friends* he thought as he dashed to his Gundam. He rested the girl against his pilot chair and yelled to the girl on the ground as the cockpit door started to close, "Get in that," he said pointing to the other Gundam. "Huh?!" she said as she looked up at the mobile suit next to the black one the other guy with her friend got in. "Uh…." Was all she was able to say. Bullets were whizzing past her, one caught her on her unhealed arm. "Get going!" Heero shouted at her. Knocked out of her current thoughts, *how the hell do I pilot that thing*, she ran off towards it.
