"What do you mean?" Says Hilde.
"If they are after our son then they will try again. That's when we will get them."
"Do we know who 'they' are?"
"Hilde..." Duo says softly as he brushes a strain of hair from her face. "You know it's them..." Hilde pulls away sharply and wraps her arms around herself. She turns her back to Duo and walks to the fireplace at the end of the room.
"I...I know. It's just that I don't want to believe it. I mean . . .Why our son?" Hilde was in the midst of saying something else when she turned back to the question of her son. "They will gain nothing but death from harming him!" She says in a cold voice.
"I asked the same question and can't find an answer. But don't worry." Duo walks up to her with an evil smile. "They'll wish they stayed hidden."
"Ryan. My...Lord...Could you please..." An old man runs to catch up with the little boy. "Please stop!" He pleas with the boy. The old man stops to rest against the cold metal wall of the dimly light hallway. The boy stops and turns to look at the old man. "Please. Tell me the importance of this child? Why are we wasting our time with him?" The boy's face turns cold as he glares at the old man. His eyes are a brilliant purple and he has bright red hair. He is a child, age seven, and the leader of the remaining NM's.
"Concern yourself only with the production of more drones. What I do is not an issue for discussion." He turns on his heels and walks away from the bewildered old man.
"He's going to get us all killed."
"The nerve of that old model!" Says Ryan as he enters a meeting room. The room is white with beautiful paintings hanging on each wall. It is a rectangular shape room with a light wood table in the middle. Several old men stand at the end of the table. If not for the technology around them, one would think they were from ancient Rome with their white robes and sandals. They suddenly stop their conversation they had going among themselves when Ryan enters. The boy stands quite for moment before he takes his seat at the head of the table. The old men follow and await to hear from their leader. "Well?" He says in annoyance. They look at each other not knowing what to say until one clears their throat.
"Uh...Ryan...My Lord...The people are complaining that the water filters are not working. They say that muddy water..." The old man stops as he sees Ryan close his eyes and shake with anger.
"I DON'T CARE!" He slams his fists on the desk, making the old men jump. They look at him with shock and none no what to say. Ryan takes a deep breath and continues. "I want to know how the army is coming along." He says in a much more calm voice.
"But My Lord, the people need..."
"The people are fine!" He growls. "Tell me about the growth of our army!" The men look at each other not daring to say anything. One man however, stands up. He glares at the boy.
"The people are more important than building an army to fight a losing battle. If you think we can take on the world then you are miss lead My Lord. We came to terms along time ago that we couldn't take the world for our own. We grew up! Now all that matters is this village and the people! So grow up like the rest of us and take on your responsibility as leader!" The boy stares at the man and smiles.
"Flint." He says in a clam voice. Another man stands up.
"Yes My lord?" He says softly.
"Make a not to have Kichiro's mold broken." The men gasp for to have your mold broken would mean that when your four years were up...you could not be recreated. Flint nods and looks to his friend before he sits down. Kichiro nods to Ryan and sits down himself. "Now, You made me your leader because I am the first of the drones. I control the drones and I know their power. We CAN and WILL rule the world. The humans will suffer!"
"Why?" Says Kichiro. "Why are you so willing to throw away what we have? Look around you! There is noting we need from the humans! We created the drones so we could live on! The tie with humanity was cut with your birth! The land is fertile, the weather is beautiful, what more do we need?"
"SHUT UP!" Says Ryan as he bangs his fists on the table. Kichiro smiles.
"Besides..." He almost laughs. "Aren't you half human?" The room fell silent at the last comment. Kichiro smiles, knowing that there is nothing more that Ryan can do to him. The boy balls his fists and blood seeps past his small fingers.
"NO! I AM NOT HUMAN! NOT HUMAN!" He yells at the men. Guards enter and escort the old men out. They leave so their leader can weep his sorrow...his hatred for the man known as...
"Duo Maxwell." Says Hilde as she wraps her arms around his neck. "You know I love you more than life?"
"Yeah." He says as he kisses her nose.
"I'm sorry for getting mad at you...it's just that...that..." She rests her head on his shoulder, trying to think of the words.
"Hey..." He says softly as he rubs her back. "You have every right to be mad. Hell, you should have seen what I did to Wufei." Hilde looks at her husband.
"What did you do to Wufei?" She looks concern at him. He smiles as he kisses her forehead.
"He told me to calm down when I saw the tapes. So I punched him. I think I gave him a black eye." He laughs at the memory of Wufei's shocked face.
"You punched him?" She says trying to hold back her own laughter.
"Yea, since he told me to calm down I took it that he was willing to let me release my anger on him!" Hilde broke and could not stop her laughter. "Aw, I knew it was too kind of him to be my personal punching bag!"
"Oh Duo." She kisses him and walks toward the exit. "Come on. Lets go meet with the others."
"Sure, but first...I want to get Jonathan." Hilde nods and follows him out the doors and down the hall. They come to the room where the maid told Hilde her son would be. They both slowly open the door...the room is dark but they can see a figure holding Jonathan. Hilde and Duo slam the door open and quickly turn on the lights. The maid jumps and her grip on Jonathan tightens. When she sees that it is just his parents she relaxes.
"He was having a bad dream..." She says softly as Hilde comes up to her.
"I fear he will have those for sometime..." Says Hilde as she takes her son. Hilde looks at the maid as she feels her being reluctant to let go of her son. The maid smiles nervously. When Hilde has her son the maid slowly steps away.
"I..uh...have to go." She says shortly as she runs out the room. Duo scratches his head not understanding the maid's actions or his wife's.
"That was odd. Hil? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine...it's just that...that maid stirred something in me." Hilde shakes her head. "Must be nothing. Lets meet the others."
The maid runs into the kitchen and sits down on the floor. She has her back resting on the island and her feet up against the cabinets. The room is dark for all the cooks are in bed. She pulls out a cell phone and dials...
Ring...
"Come on! Pick up!"
Ring...
"Hello?" Says a woman's voice.
"It's me." Says the maid as quite as she can.
"You failed didn't you?" Says the woman's voice. It is cold and harsh.
"Yes...But the disposable failed."
"Good. So the boy is unharmed?"
"Yes."
"But you couldn't get the child?"
"No."
"Do they suspect?"
"I don't believe so."
"If they don't then try again. We need that child alive! Make sure nothing happens to him. I will send another to pick him up so don't try again. Got it?"
"Yes Sarah."
Ohhh. Do you remember Sarah? Hope you do...if you don't then re-read Genesis. Please come back And
