Richmond High School 11: Come Out and Play Zechs
Heero-
" Ahh" I roll my head to one side; I'm gagged and tied down to a chair.
" Wakie...wakie," that voice, I know that voice. Opening my eyes to a sea of blond hair, I know who it is now.
" Zechs!" I scream, but it comes out choked. How did I get like this? I don't remember. Last I remember is Duo jumping into Hilde's car, then...And then someone said my name, Zechs.
He's talking, but I can't focus on what he says or where he's moving to. Watching his movements just gives me a bigger headache, so I put my head back down. " Heero," I groan as he pushes my head up, "its no time to sleep. The tranquilizer will wear off in about an hour. So please keep your head up and pay attention."
Well now I know how he was able to get me here. Why would he show his face now? If he wanted to kill me wouldn't he have already done it. 'Never keep a known enemy a live; only if there's a reason.' Or so I was taught.
Zechs kept pacing, back and forth, back and forth. It was driving me up the wall. I just diverted my attention to something that would help me. Like getting out of these bonds. I can only hope he keeps his pacing up as I try to break them.
" Trust me you can't brake those cuffs, Yuy." Zechs said serenely, " Dr. J gave those to me to keep you safe for when he arrives." I just looked at Zechs frozen mid motion. With fear and surprise in my eyes, but which ever one it was he answered my question. Why?
" Your mole was leaking information to me and the doctors. When we found out, we came to an agreement. We both want you dead, and your lover as well."
'Not Duo. They can't touch him. I will kill every person that touches my Duo.'
I struggle for all I'm worth. And right now, its not much with that tranquilizer still in me. Zechs straddles my legs, holding me in place. " The doctors said I couldn't kill you, but they never said I couldn't play with you." I showed nothing on the outside, but I felt scared as hell on the inside. He took out severally different sized scalpels; placing them on a small tray beside us. I watch as he pulls a syringe from the table.
" This is to make sure you feel every cut." He said sticking the needle on my arm roughly. Fire runs through my veins, what the hell was that? My breathing became irregular, and that was all I remembered as darkness descended over my eyes.
When I finial opened my eyes , and I found myself lying on a medical bed. Strapped down, shirtless, and still gagged. Great. I don't have time to react as Zechs cuts my face with one of his scalpels. When he goes for another I try to doge it, but I realize I can't move. And not because of the straps.
" Your body thinks its paralyzed. Did you know doctors use it when they need to make sure the patient doesn't move during the operation." He said finishing it off with another slash. If I could scream I would. He slashes and cuts my chest and face for what seems like forever, but is really about 10 minutes.
" Did you know, Yuy, that I like to play and see the blood of beautiful boys . Especial ones that people believe to be innocence." pausing he looked to the side. A noise more like a humming to a song, but he dismisses it. "Boys. Like. You." Punctuating each word with a cut or slash. Blood covers my face and chest, running into my hair and ears. It hurts like hell, and I can feel I'm losing to much blood. I'm about to slip unconscious. Then I hear a voice singing.
" Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kid`s are strapin`on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake their own campus locale" Zechs stood up at the fast speeded voice. Duo you stupid braid boy run.
" Come out and face me Duo." Zechs yelled out.
" They`re gonna bash it up...bash it up
Hey -Zechs you talkin`back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep `em seperated
Hey-Zechs you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep `em seperated
Hey they don`t pay no mind
If you`re under 18 you won`t be doing any time
Hey come out and play ZECHS!" I could hear Duo sing back in a mockery and half cocky.
Duo----Hours before.....
The second we made it to my apartment I was in the door grapping and hiding every knife I had, on me. Hilde strolled in as if the cops aren't on our asses. I don't have time for her behavior.
" Hey Hilde, in the living room there's a 9mm in the flower pot. Can you get it." I yell from my room. I have to change into something that can hide all these knifes. Plus I'm on the run from the cops, doctors, and almost every gang here. Someone would think I was trying to get myself killed.
Hilde now that's a different story. Maybe she's in shock, but she seemed fine just the other day. Guess the other day she didn't have the cops looking for her, or her car for that matter. Who knows? I'll just have to ask about it.
Throwing open my suit case, I start placing clothing and weapons in it. This sucks I really liked this place. Oh well all good things come to an end.
In the end, I have one suit case, a backpack, and one duffel bag full of clothing and knifes I've accumulated over the year. I've also changed into my black tight pants along with a black fitted T-shirt, and lets not forget my trench coat. Father Maxwell's cross stands out against all this black.
" You must be turning in your grave again, uh, Father." I said quietly. Where in the hell is Hilde with that gun? It's only in the flower pot vase. How hard is it to find a gun in which nothing else is in it!
"Damn it Hil..." I look up to see her pointing *my* gun at me. Okay maybe that's not really was pissing me off at this moment. Maybe it was the fact that she shot at me feet.
Lets go over the situation. Hilde, my friend, who just rescued me from the cops is pointing a gun at me. She's been a good friend to me for a little more then a year. She knew about my other side, but was still my friend. Where in that does it come down to her pointing a gun at me? Did I miss something?
" What the fuck is wrong with you?" I yell at her. She fires again in the same spot making me jump out of the way. Note to self, never yell at the person with a gun. I don't take any chances now, jumping behind the counter into the kitchen.
" Come out and play Duo." For some reason when she said that the song 'gotta keep them separated'รข(offspring) came to mind. I started to hum the tune.
I can do this, one person with a gun. But the question is can I really kill her?
:You've already killed one friend. What's one more to the list.:
" Fuck you" I said.
" Thanks but I have Wufei for that. Your pretty face won't get you out of this one."
I must of said that one out loud. Second time today I find myself looking for a way out of a life and death situation. Great, just a fucking great day.
" You still think I'm pretty that means a lot from you Hilde." I retorted back. She yells her disgust. Well it lets me know where she is. She's trying to come closer to the counter, perhaps trying to come over me and shoot at me.
" Duo, come out. I don't want to kill you. I was ordered not to." Well that's good, now I know she's not going to kill me, yet.
I need answers. This is makes no sense. " I'll come out, Hilde. On one condition. If you tell me why your doing this?"
" You always had to know every detail to any situation, Duo. I think that's one of your down falls, not acting without the facts. That's no way to live in our world. You have to act and ask questions later."
" Is that a yes or no?" I could laugh. She's a puppet to someone else. I feel sorry for her, and she knows nothing of me. A year and she learned nothing. She will never know.
" Yes, stand up slowly." I do exactly that. I'm tempted to say the hundred retorts at the tip of my tongue. Control is something I have to keep, and so I say nothing. " Keep your hands where I can see them." I nod my head.
" What's the point of this" No pun intended. She smiles.
" I didn't want it to come down to this, but you know to much. And I can't help you with the Docs., no one can help you with them." she said motioning me to sit at the table. " hands on the table"
" Elaboration, please." I said keeping very still. I don't know how trigger happy she is.
" The reason we do this. That's easy. Once this is over we can leave and live out the rest of our lives never having to worry about the gangs, drugs, weapons, or those Doctors again." I take it "we" is not Her and I. Sad for me, haha, yeah right.
" All this to get out?" I ask looking at her. She looks uneasy, and I beat her hand is cramping up. What is she waiting for.
On cue, my question is answered. Wufei walks through the door. Automatic in one hand and a smile on his face.
" Oh well isn't this a nice reunion. Didn't we do this the other day. Go head and tell the others to come in now." I'm laughing and I don't know why, but it throws them off as well.
" No one is coming this time Duo." Wufei said, walking up to me.
" Really. And why are you here? Are you the one who's going to kill me?" Still laughing. Every time I think of my death I laugh. Man, I'm either over confident or insane. I'll go with both.
" No, I'm not going to kill you. The doctors want that job. They will have Yuy in a few hours, and you as well. Once you two are gone. Zechs, Hilde and I will kill the doctors."
'Can't move. Must think. Have to save my Heero. Can't die yet. Must escape.' becomes me martyr for the next minutes. Over and over I repeat it.
" Your the mole." I said after I calmed myself down. I'm going to kill him. Isn't he suppose to be their friends now he set their deaths up.
" My you catch on fast. I didn't take you for the smart one. From the way Hilde said it, you have everyone explain it to you before you kill them."
I laugh again. I really need to stop laughing at inappropriate moments, like this one. I know he won't shoot me, and not with that automatic he possessing. I can use that.
" Lets go Duo. Just move slowly and follow Hilde." Wufei said motioning for me to stand.
" Oh goodie, are we going for a car ride." I stand slow leaning towards Hilde, following. " Just like me get my Sunday hat on." With that I jump to my right. Dashing to my room as fast as I could.
" Shit" I hear both of them yell as I ran into my room. I seize my backpack, it's the only thing I can carry and jump balconies. I'm on my balcony and jumped down, then the next. I couldn't ask for a better building to do this. You wonder how I do this so fast. I'm superman. No, not really, the balconies jet out more as you go from floor to floor. One reason I picked this building, and chose the top floor.
Running to my car I look for my keys. Where the fuck are they.
" Damn it Maxwell get in the car." I look over as Richard pulls up in my car. How the hell... "Don't stand there and gawk at me like that. Wufei is right behind me." Opening the door, I take my seat.
"How did you get my car to start? I rigged it, you didn't hot wire it?"
" I found the keys." He said, and I laugh. He tosses me a shot gun.
" Where are we going?" I ask as he turns onto the free-way.
" You said you wanted to kill the doctors. Well I'm going to take you to them." I nod
" Why are you doing this?"
" Easy. I don't want Heero hurt, and if something happens to you he will be hurt. Anyways, I was dropping off your payment and I saw Zechs take him and you running from the cops. I took that as my cue to help out."
" Thanks, I think."
We drove in silence after that. Driving out into a area spaced out be acres of lands, with one house one each lot of land. More of a mansion then a house. Stopping at what looked to be the end of the block. The house was huge with blue and white trimming.
" This is where Zechs brought Heero. You have an hour to get Heero out, before the Doctors come. Don't do anything stupid Duo." Richard said. I step out of the car popping the trunk open.
" Oh shit," Richard said. I have anything and everything in my trunk. From a automatic machine gun to your basic butchers knife.
I take a holster strapping it to my upper thigh, placing a automatic Uinz its something like that. I can't remember the name for the life of me. , and extra rounds. This was not for fun., this was to save Heero's life, and my own ass in the end.
"I thought you didn't like using guns." Richard said.
" I can make exceptions, and trust me this is one of those." I said, walking to the gate. Pushing it open I turn back to him.
" You have one hour. Remember that Duo." he got back in my car.
" Where are you going?"
" Quatre and Trowa." Was all he said, before peeling out.
---
I found my self walking through the shadows. I have an hour, I see now why he gave me an hour. There are like a million fucking rooms. Its been half an hour and I'm going to scream...
Wait what was that.
I look over and see the lights on in one room. It's the ball room, but its been transformed. More of a torture room. Fun. I stalk in quietly through the open door. Climbing up high, I walk over the rafters that the lights hung from.
I wanted to scream at what I saw. Heero tied down to what looked like a medical bed. Red. Blood. It was every where on him, and his screams where non-existence. I watched his mouth open and close over the gag.
"Did you know, Yuy, that I like to play and see the blood of beautiful boys . Especial ones that people believe to be innocence." Cutting his beautiful body over and over. I couldn't move. The something snapped inside. I started to hum that offspring song.
" Boys. Like. You." He said. Slashing his chest twice, and opening up his face with the last. What every snapped, is shattered. I start to sing.
".....Come out and play Zechs."
