Krissy and Quatre were blazing over the snow and ice on their snowmobiles. They were searching for what looked like a power plant, but it was actually the building holding the information they needed about "B.D."

"Why in the world did I have to get the mission where it's fifty below zero! I'm from California for cryin' out loud! Alyssa is from New York so she should have gotten this mission. We should have switched. What was Lady Une thinking?! This is ridiculus!" Krissy mumured to herself.

"Hey, Quatre, how much further?" she yelled.

"About ten miles." he yelled back. Krissy rolled her eyes and sped up.

"Hey! Wait for me!" he yelled. After about two miles, Quatre slowed to a stop.

"What's wrong?" she asked, turning around and slowing to a stop next to him.

"Look at the weather radar. It's the blue and green one." Krissy looked at the radar (there were so many that she almost didn't find it).

"Damn. Snow storm."

"Yeah, and it's coming this way. We only have a couple hours before it hits near here. There's no way to escape it and the building is eight more miles away. And there aren't any caves around...."

"I guess we'll have to build an igloo. I've always wanted to freeze my fingers off because of frostbite." Quatre laughed and Krissy shot a glare at him.

"That wasn't supposed to be funny."

"Oh, sorry." he stopped laughing. They parked their snowmobiles and started molding the snow into blocks to make an igloo. A few hours later, they realized that they had run out of fire fuel.

"I never expected to get stuck in something like this. I checked the weather patterns before we left and there weren't any indications of activity."

"Well, mother nature is unpretictable. That's why you should always be prepared. I spotted some trees about a mile from here. I'll chop down some and bring them back. That should keep us warm until it's safe to head out again."

"Ok." Krissy bundled up to leave, but before she went outside, Quatre said,

"Krissy..." she turned around, "Um....be careful ok?" Krissy paused for a second.

"Let me put it this way. I'm just like you right?" Quatre nodded, "So if you can do it, then I sure as hell can. Chill out."

"But all the same, I want you to be careful."

"Whatever." Krissy said, flickng her hand as she went out the door. Quatre sat on the floor of the igloo and thought, 'Don't worry. She'll come around..........eventually.'

*~~~One Hour Later~~~*
Quatre had dozed off for a while, then woke up shivering. He noticed Krissy wasn't back yet so he checked his watch.

"Woah, Krissy should have been back by now. I hope nothing's wrong. I'll just give her about ten more minutes before I look for her. She may not like it, but I'd rather have her alive then mad at me."

*~~~10 Minutes Later~~~*
"Still no sign of her. Oh well, time to head out." He bundled up and got on his snowmobile. As he came near the trees Kristin had talked about, he saw her snowmobile. He pulled up next to it and parked. He got off and looked around.
Quatre noticed some footprints and followed them. About halfway through, he stopped and gasped. It seemed that Kristin had tripped over a log, hit her head on a tree, knocking her unconscious, and ended face down on an ice pond. The pond had eventually cracked under her weight and she fell in. He rushed over to her, dragged her out and performed CPR. When water came out of her mouth and she started coughing, he put her on his snomobile (he tied the two together) and he rode back. When they reached the igloo, Quatre tried to take care of her as best her could with only a First-Aid Kit. He also tried to contact Noin at the White House, but the radio waves were all scrambled do to the storm.

*~~~1 Hour Later~~~*
Quatre was still putting hot packs on Krissy's forhead when she woke up.

"How are you feeling?"

"Never felt better."

"Do you remember what happened?"

"Sort of...."

"Do you want me to tell you?"

"No, I'd rather not know."

"Um, hungry?"

"No, and I think I can take care of myself thank you very much."

"Oh, ok. Just let me....." he came towards her to take off the hot pack, but she slapped his arm.

"Don't touch me. If I need your help, I'll ask for it."

"Sorry." He walked back to the other side of the igloo and sipped the soup that he found in the First-Aid Kit. Krissy leaned against the wall and rubbed her forhead. It hurt a lot and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Tell me something," she asked, "Why do you let people push you around?"

"Huh?"

"You heard me."

"I don't let people push me around. I'm not a push-over."

"Ha. Could've fooled me."

"I just don't like giving orders to other people."

"What? This is the army, man! It doesn't matter whether you're male, female, or even an amphibian. You always have to give orders to someone of lower rank than you (See, all the G-boys are majors and the girls are lieutenants). Tell me this, Quatre, if I wasn't a woman, would you treat me differently? And I want the truth." (AN: Krissy, you can't handle the truth! JK lol).

"To tell the truth......." there was a long pause, "Yes. I would treat you differently." Quatre expected Krissy to go off like she'd blown a gasget or something and he flinched at the thought of it. But Krissy just sighed a deep sigh and said,

"Well, I'd prefer it if you didn't, ok? Just to set things strait now, I would like it if you treated me like any other soldier out here from now on." Quatre slowly opened his eyes and sat up straight.

"Sure, no problem. But this means that I might have to yell at you sometimes and give you orders."

"I can take it. In fact, I'd like it if you did."

"Um.....ok then." They sat in the igloo until the storm passed. Krissy would slip in and out of consciousness do to the hypothermia. Quatre was amazed that she even survived. As soon as the storm had passed and Krissy was feeling better, they headed out. When they got to information building, they realized it would be much harder for them to sneak in because some civilians had used it for shelter. They decided to pretend that they were civilians to get in and then slowly sneak away at their best chance. Luckily, the metal detectors weren't working and the guards weren't checking people, so they were able to get in without having their weapons confiscated.

"Ok, now that we're in, how do you expect us to sneak passed the guards? They're everywhere." Krissy whispered to Quatre. They were huddled near the back of the room where all the civilians were put. The heater had gone out along with everything that was electrical so everyone was shivering and hungry.

"I don't know, but I hope something happens."

"Hmm."

*~~~10 Minutes Later~~~*

"Quatre I'm getting impatient. If something doesn't happen soon, I'm going to make something happen. We have guns ya know."

"I know, I know, but we're supposed to be going undercover."

"Duh! I've had plenty of experience in that department so I think I know what I'm doing."

"Well, if you were really an expert, you would've thought of something by now." Quatre retorted (AN: Woohoo! Go Quatre!).He had just had about enough of her rude remarks. Krissy crossed her arms and frowned a little. Suddenly, a ghust of wind, ice, and snow brushed up against one of the windows and broke through it. The window shattered and all of the guards rushed towards it. Everyone started panicking.

"Alright, here's our chance. Let's go!" Quatre yelled as they headed out towards one of the doors. After they got in, they made their way through the different levels of the building.

"Woah, some of those post-storm blizzards are really dangerous." Krissy said. Quatre hastily pulled Krissy next to him behind one of the walls, into the shadows.

"What was that for?" she whispered. Instead of replying, Quatre pointed as a couple of guards passed by them.

"Oh." she said. They stuck their heads out only to find more coming. This time, however, the guards noticed them and Quatre and Krissy opened fire. After a few minutes, Krissy could see more and more of them coming.

'OK, I've had my fun, but I've got a job to do.' she thought as she pulled out two hand grinades and threw them at either side of her, where the guards were.

"Let's go!" she yelled as she and Quatre escaped through the smoke. One sharp-shooter spotted them and fired, hitting Quatre in the chest. He let out a small cry and stumbled as he put his hand on his knee.


"What?" Krissy said, turning around. "Oh my God!" She saw that the smoke was clearing so she grabbed him and dragged him into a janitor's closet.

"Shit, what happened?!" she whispered. Quatre was breathing heavily and drops of sweat rolled off his forehead.

"I was, puff, running and--"

"Shh!" she put her finger to her lips as footsteps could be heard getting louder and louder outside the door. Then she heard a few men talking.

"Where'd they go?"

"I don't know, but they couldn't have gone far. Camron got one of them in the chest."

"Let's start looking for a trail of blood."

"Ok. Everyone! Move out! Start looking for trails of blood!" Muffled sounds of feet pounding on the floor came soon after. After the sounds had faded, Krissy put down her finger.

"Where were you shot?" Quatre turned on his left side to reveal a shot wound on his upper right chest.

'Crud. This is just peachy! It's bad enough that there are guards after us, but it's another thing having an incompetant parter who can't seem to keep his butt out of the line of fire!' she thought.

"Hold still, will ya."

"I'm trying."

"Stop being such a wimp." She ripped off one of the sleeves of her jacket and tied it around his chest, "I'm not going to be responsible of your death if you die, so don't understand me?" Quatre nodded.

"We can contact people now, right?" she asked. Quatre nodded again as she pulled out her walkie talkie.

'We need help now because they're going to find us in here sooner or later. Noin is too far away so who can I call?..........Oh I know."

"This is Firey contacting Demon. Come in Demon. Over." she whispered as loud she could.

*~~~~Bering Sea~~~~*
Jenn was steering the boat as Duo was taking a nap on the chair. They had decided to make a detour to the Arctic Ocean as sort of like a mini-vacation before they headed back to Washington. They had "ok-ed" it with Noin since Anna, Trowa, Heero, and Marisa were still in Italy taking care of Zechs, Krissy and Quatre were still in Alaska, and Alyssa and Wufei were still in Egypt. Jenn was just above the St. Lawrence Island and was heading for the Bering Strait when she heard static coming from her walkie talkie. It got very loud and Duo jumped out of his sleep.

"Who? What? Where?"

"Relax, Sleeping Beauty. It's only my walkie talkie.

"Oh ok." he said, as he plopped back down. Jenn rolled her eyes and smiled. Then she heard a voice coming from the walkie talkie. It was very scratchy, but she could still make out the words.

"Love Demon, this is Firey Hope. Come in." Jenn grabbed the radio.

"This is Demon. What's wrong Firey?"

"Guards are all around us and we're trapped in the janitor's closet. And.....Quatre's been shot."

"What?! Ok, where are you?"

"..........."

"Firey? Firey, come in. Over."

"This is Firey. We are on Cape Rodney in the Seward Peninsula. Over." (AN: I'm not making these places up. You can look on a map and see if you don't believe me). Jenn lunged forward and grabbed her map on the dash board.

"Demon what is your position? Come in Demon."

"We are...177 over 168. Just a couple of miles away from you."

"Great. How fast can you get here? Our building is located near the coast and it's disguised as a power plant."

"If I hurry.......about 15 minutes."

"Ok, this is Firey, signing out."

"Ok, this is Demon. Over and out." Jenn turned off her radio and cranked up the speed to maximum, and turned the sub to the left to head towards Cape Rodney. Duo fell off the chair and hit his head on the floor.

"Ow! Hey, what's going on?"

"Krissy and Quatre need our help, so we're making another detour."

"What happened?" he asked, getting up and walking over towards her.

"Well, from what I can gather, she and Quatre were caught by some guards. They shot Quatre, but I don't know where, and now they're sitting ducks inside a janitor's closet."

"Looks like another episode of 'Duo saves the day.'" Jenn didn't pay any attention to his sarcastic remark.

"Straight ahead should be Cape Rodney. God, where did all this fog come from?" Fog had suddenly appeared all around them as they approached the coast.

"I see the cape. Oh well, so much for our 'vacation.' Let's hurry, I don't know how serious Quatre's wound is."

"What do you think I'm trying to do here? Pick my nose?" Jenn said impatiently as Duo stuck his toungue out. Jenn turned the boat harshly and Duo lost his balance and fell on the floor. He rubbed his back as Jenn laughed.

*~~~10 Minutes Later~~~*
"Argh, I wish they'd hurry up! The guards have just about looked everywhere for us." Krissy said.

"Don't, gulp, worry. They'll be here." Quatre said.

"How are you holding up?"

"Im doing alright." Krissy held out his arm and took a look under his bandage.

"You're still loosing a lot of blood. They must have struck a nerve or something. Damn them!" Suddenly they heard a rustling noise outside and huddled back into the shadows. The door opened and there stood Jenn and Duo.

"Thank God. I thought you guys would never get here!" Krissy said as Duo bent down to take a look at Quatre.

"Looks pretty serious. I'm going to get him outta here and into a hospital. Do you guys have a jet?"

"Yes, but it's way out in the snow."

"Jenn, I'll take Quatre in the sub. You guys stay here and get the info."

"Right, we'll go and get the jet and meet up with you at the hospital." Duo picked up Quatre and put him over his shoulder as he smashed and climbed out of a window to the escape ladder fight below it.

"Hey guys," he said almost out of the window, "Be careful will ya." Krissy and Jenn folded their arms and glared at him. But a small smile crept up on Jenn's face.

"Ok, ok. I'll shut up now. See ya." He waved, climbed down the ladder, and ran as fast as he could back to the sub. An alarm went off because Duo had broken through the window.

"Great, the electricity is back on." Krissy said, unenthusiastically.

"Aww man! What do we do now?" Jenn said.

"The air vent!" Krissy said, pointing up. Krissy gave Jenn a boost, but the air vent was locked.

"Damn."

"Let's try that door." Krissy said, pointing to the other side of the room as Jenn got down. They busted down the door and found the control room down the hall (AN: they didn't choose main door because it would be easier for the security guards to catch them). They pulled out their guns and proceeded towards it.


*~~~Half Hour Later~~~*
After knocking out some security guards, Krissy and Jenn worked on seperate computers to get the information on B.D.

"Sally said that she wants us to get all the info we can find."

"No duh." Krissy said. Jenn's eyes narrowed as her temper started to boil.

'Just let it go, Jenn.' she told herself. Krissy had just pressed the print button when Jenn stumbled across something.

"Hey Krissy, take a look at this." Krissy got up from her chair and walked over to Jenn's computer.

"What is that?"

"I don't know. Looks like some type of bomb.......but I'm not sure." she said, downloading more information.

"Hmmm, looks like an aircraft to me."

"Well, let's print it and show it to the others later. If it'a a bomb, Anna will know."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." After they printed all of the information, they headed out into the hallway. As they traveled down the flights of stairs, Jenn thought she heard footsteps. She motioned to Krissy to stop. When they did, they heard more footsteps. Jenn turned around as they turned a corner and a shot flew passed her right shoulder and barely missing her. The shot made a rip in her shirt. She gasped and immediately started exchanging fire along Krissy with their semi-automatics.

"Shnikies!" Jenn said (AN: I got that from my friend Jessie ^_^), "Don't they ever stop?" They continued to fire round after round of bullets for about three minutes.

"We have appointments to keep. Let's end this now." Krissy said.

"Right." Jenn handed her one of her smoke bombs and they threw them at the guards. Smoke went up as the guards began to cough. Jenn and Krissy made their way to the entrance (which was a solid-steel and metal door) to find it locked.

"Damn." Krissy said. Then she turned around, "Look! They're coming!"

"Stand back." Jenn said as she blasted down the door with one of her wrist bombs. They ran out and hopped onto the snowmobiles parked outside.

"Let's get the hell out of here!" Jenn said speeding off towards the jet as shots were being fired at them from behind.
