~~~~~Trowa's P.O.V~~~~~

Days passed slowly, with Sarah coming in to check on me and again fake interrogation. My ribs were healed completely, and my arm and leg almost completely better, but still in a cast.

I was clean now, after not having taken a bath in quite awhile. Sarah had helped me wrap plastic bags over my casts and helped me wobble to the bathroom. There I managed without her.

To my surprise, when I had stepped out and wrapped myself as well as I could with a towel, she was there waiting with a grin on her face, holding a large jar of gel. It was so comical, so surprising, I even laughed.

And that surprised me even more.

And again, to my surprise, she had a clean set of clothes, the same style as before. She had helped me get the shirt on and then left the gel with me, taking my dirty clothes away. I managed to pull on the shorts and was in the middle of drying and gelling my hair when a knock had come on the bathroom door.

She came in and just watched.

It still puzzles me even now. Why is she helping me?

As a favor to Duo?

Why?

When I had finished, she helped me back to the bed. I didn't even think about the camera anymore. It seems she was quite skilled at running loops.

And now, I was just sitting in my lonely little room.

With all the good things happening, I knew sooner or later something bad would happen.

I'll just have to wait and see.

I didn't have another visit from her that night, but I guess mechanic duty keeps you up a lot.

But when she stumbled in the next morning, shuddering slightly, deep black rings under her eyes and mumbling to herself, I could tell something had happened.

However, she kept that smile and when I asked her what was wrong, she just told me that everything was fine. Everything would stay fine. Though I did hear her mumble something about Sacrymist.

Breakfast that day was hot oatmeal, a bowl of fruit and a glass of orange juice. She stayed with me as I ate, just staring at the wall.

"What's wrong?"

And, she answered, "My gundam. The damn thing. Every time I pilot it, I don't pilot it. It pilots me. But that's not what happened. What happened is Zech's new gundam, Epyon. Their systems seem identical. Yesterday I took Epyon through a series of tests. I managed to control it, but it was exhausting. I think I'm getting better though." She smiled.

Zech's had a new gundam?

Hrm.

I finished breakfast and rested it beside me.

"We'll be leaving here in five days and I still haven't thought of an excuse."

I glanced towards her, "Am I that much trouble?"

"No. Sorry, I'm just tired and frustrated. I'll figure something out. I always do." She grinned and stood, taking my tray. With a wink, she was off.

I was asleep when she came back. She woke me with frantic shaking and as I looked up, she put a finger to her lips before whispering.

"They're on to me. To many loops have been run through the system, and since I'm the only one who tends for you, they suspect me. I have to get you out of here now, or I might be restrained."

This came as a shock.

Without a word, I struggled up and stood on my own. I heard a click, and now noticed the gun she carried in her left hand. I also just then noticed she was dressed in all black. A black, long-sleeved turtle neck and black baggy pants, along with a black cap to obscure her face. Her braid was tucked away.

She helped me to the door and pressed it open and we emerged into the hall. Luckily, as she told me, the exit was very close by and she already had a car parked and waiting.

She more like dragged me than helped me, and I tried to walk as fast as possible. We met no trouble, to my amazement and we were out of the door in a minute. She had a jeep waiting and she helped me into the back seat, covering me with a black blanket.

I heard the car start and we started moving. I judge we reached the exit fence due to the fact we stopped and I heard her talking to the guard.

"And your business outside?"

"I'm going home?" Sarah grumbled in a are-you-stupid tone.

"Well then." We started moving shortly after. Only when we were out the door and barely on our way did the alarms start to sound. I felt the car pick up speed.

"You can come out now." I heard her say and I slowly lifted the cloth off of me.

"I need directions. Can you give them from here?"

I hesitated before responding, "Turn left here. Head for your old apartment house, then south till you reach Bury. I'll tell you more after that."

We drove in silence, until we reached where I had told her to go.

"Now what?"

"Turn right, the left, another left, head down to Abble and then further on towards the woods. You'll come across a dirt road. Turn down that."

I watched as she sped up slightly and carried out my instructions. We were soon heading down the road, making very little sound.

"So this is where you live huh?" She slowly drove up to the small building connected to the huge hangar and cut off the engine.

"Yes."

I noticed she had let her hair down and lifted the cap to show her face. She opened her door and closed it before coming around and helping me out. Together we hobbled to the front door.

She knocked.

We waited.

No answer.

She knocked again, this time louder and more persistent.

I heard clatter behind the door and the knob turned, the door pulling open.

And we came face to face with the shocked face of Duo.
