Chapter two:
'Morning."Shadow mumbled as he stalked into the kitchen.
Duo's response was muffled by his eating; Heero merely glanced in his direction ad a general acknowledgement. Quatre greeted him cheerily, and Trowa nodded. WuFei's reply however was somewhat indignant.
"Isn't that my shirt?" He demanded. Shadow checked the tag and shrugged. WuFei growled and rose to his feet. He then demanded that shadow hand over his shirt immediately. Shadow promptly ignored him.
After chasing shadow through out the house, WuFei somehow managed to be locked outside in the cold of the morning. WuFei was only allowed in once he promised to allow shadow to wear the shirt.
Afterwards shadow amicably joined the other four for breakfast.
"Bring on the pancakes!" He enthusiastically demanded.
"No wonder you demanded meals.the cost of feeding yourself would have exhausted all the money you making."
WuFei was promptly ignored. In all this time in the house despite WuFei's unfriendly demeanor, he and shadow had become the best of friends. Apparently sharing the same choices of reading material and displaying, the same habits. Both young men were somewhat broody and kept to themselves. Somehow, they always knew what the other wanted. The only conflict in the household so far was WuFei's anal-retentive nature when it came to personal possessions and shadows hippie-like beliefs of what's mine is yours. Shadow borrowed all the guys' thing all the time especially poor WuFei's'. He also mooched everything in sight. He had no problem drinking out of the same cup as anyone else or eating off the same fork. In fact, Heero suspected that at times shadow he also used his toothbrush although he had been unable to prove it.
Duo he no problem with this since shadow was quite willing to share his own things. Quatre did not mind although the sanitary issues made him queasy. Trowa merely asked that he be informed when any of his objects were being used, thus saving him the problem of looking for the. Heero said nothing since there were always certain predictable items shadow always borrowed and he always put them back exactly where he found them. WuFei felt that his personal space should be respected no matter how close they were, and shadow only had to ask to borrow something. Shadow had a manipulative nature however and was always able to get around him.
Later WuFei and shadow sat talking about a book both had read. WuFei argued about the universal truths he had found in the book about the suffering. Moreover, shadow argued that in this book although initially negative the problems caused each character to improve. Shadow was forced to give up the argument because he had to go on a mission. *** Shadow raced through the hallway, quickly ducking behind a corner to avoid enemy fire. He then shot back in an attempt to stall. He had been able to hack into the facility getting out was another problem. There had been a fluke. One of the guards had changed unexpectedly something about someone getting sick. Now shadow was left racing out of there a half an hour before pick up.
As he recalled from the schematics he had memorized, there was a computer main frame around the corner. If he could get there maybe, he could call for outside help. Firing once more, the mercenary threw himself forward, rolling underneath the return fired he stopped once in the cover of safety. He quickly rose to his feet and using his special skeleton key card he hacked into the doors security defenses. Once he was sure the electronic lock had been pulled back he tried the handle. Quickly slipping inside he set able making a connection with the special number the guys had provided.
WuFei answered on the second ring. Realizing who was calling and the implications it brought. WuFei demanded to know what was wrong.
"Something went wrong.the whole facility is on high alert and they are actively looking for me. I need to be picked up immediately. I will be at the west side of the building third room on the ground floor. I suggest you try to make a near window pick up.coming in here would be insane. I will be out in half an hour tops. If I don't leave!" WuFei nodded wordlessly and they both hung up.
Now here comes the hard part. I am on the east side of the building fourth floor and they know exactly what they are looking for.
He poked his head out the door, noticing a patrol was out, he grabbed a grenade and threw it down the hall in the opposite direction he hoped to move in. It exploded. Once the guards had fallen for the bait, he raced down the hallway to the elevator. Shadow had disabled all the cameras upon entering the building, and they would not expect him to use the elevators too obvious. Just to make sure he stopped on the second floor. The first was sure to be heavily guarded as it had the easiest exits. Going out of window was too risky since they did not open. Breaking them would be noisy and set off many alarms. He had only switched off one of the windows momentarily to enter the building.
*** Crap they weren't supposed to put up this much opposition between the bombs I was setting off in other areas combined with the top secret level of many of the rooms inside they should not have been able to get this much personnel to guard the exits.
Both sides were pretty much exchanging gunfire bullet for bullet. There was one minute left to Shadow's deadline, and he was exhausted.
Suddenly a series of explosions sounded in front of him, and a bright flash of light. When shadow was able to see again, the Ozzie soldiers had been replaced by WuFei and Duo. Both stepped into the intersecting hallway were they could see Shadow better.
"come on!" Duo yelled when a bullet pierced the wall right near him. Shadow raced after them.
At the final stretch to freedom, the three of them were again stopped by a group of armed forces. "get ready! " Duo warned, then he threw a small explosive into the opposing corridor, taking out the enemy. Desperate now the young men opted for the window now having nothing to lose.
Duo climbed out, first followed by WuFei. Then WuFei turned to help Shadow out of the window. As shadow lifted his leg up and over the sill, he noticed in his peripheral vision one soldier stir. He moved his handgun and took careful aim at the fugitives.
One shot was fired but not before Shadow threw himself at WuFei effectively blocking him from harm. At the same time his hand shot to the small of his back, drawing the hidden gun. Shadow still using the momentum from the initial movement whipped his right arm around and before he realized it he had instinctively shot and killed the man. That done he heaved himself over and the three figures quickly made there way to the waiting van. Inside was Quatre, he started the vehicle and took off.
Once they reached the safe house all four wearily piled out. WuFei went to speak to shadow but paused when he took in the complexion of the boy. He was pale and his breathing seemed labored.
"what's wrong?"
he moved to speak but before the words could form on his lips, he collapsed. WuFei caught him. They were immediately surrounded.
:"what's wrong?"
"I don't know." they quickly moved into the house as WuFei gently laid the prone mercenary down. He noticed something. His hands came away sticky covered with blood. At seeing this, all stared wide-eyed at each other.
