The park was a great place to relax for the Erika's two days off. Erika sat under a tree reading a
Manga Book. She knew that it looked kind of childish for her to be reading comic books, but she
didn't care. This was an old classic, and it was really lovey-dovey anyway. The grass smelt
nice and there was a nice breeze coming from the colony's AWS (Artificial Weathering System).
Erika hadn't seen Heero in nearly two weeks and it bothered her. What did her mean by all that
weird stuff he had said? But why would he say something like that .He was either really deep or
really weird.
"I've been taught to always do what my heart tells me...so I don't regret something later.
I'm only saying that you should be careful Miss Wing. Nothing more and nothing less because they..."
But beside the fact that there where terrorists around the colonies, Erika hadn't? t really been
paying that much attention. How could she when all this weird stuff was going on in her own
little life that never seemed to have much meaning.
Erika stood up and walked to the sidewalk. She need to a little school shopping before Monday.
As she entered the busier part of town. Everything seemed normal, the hundreds of people going
about their normal Saturday lives. Young men smiled at Erika as she passed and she would wave
back at them with a fake shy smile.
"Good god..." Erika thought after she passed them but her gaze was caught when she was Heero.
He was on the crosswalk ahead of her and his face looked flushed and sweat drenched his hair
line. He seemed to be out of breath and he leaned against the side of a building.
"Heero!" Erika called as she walked up to him.
"E-Erika! W-what the hell are you d-doing here!?" he yelled at her in what seemed to be an
unusual aggressive tone for him. Erika stepped back a little and then shook herself from the
shock of his tone. Heero slouched over as if to catch his breath. His breaths where deep and
course.
"Heero, you're hyperventilating..." Erika said touching his shoulder. Heero looked up strait in
front of them. His eyes widen a little and then he cured under his breath. Then he looked at
Erika, his sad eyes glimmered with deep look like the endless space. Erika turned away to look
ahead of them to see five men dressed in black suits coming strait for them about a block away
and they hadn't spotted Heero or Erika yet.
"Come...hu-hu-with me...Or something bad is gonna happen..." Heero panted while he pushed
himself off the wall and took her left wrist and pulled her on the opposite side of the building
corner. Erika felt her heart sink and her breath quicken as well. "Let's just walk this way, to
the-the...hu-huhu....right okay?" Erika signed a yes with the nod of her head.
Heero affected his weight off the was and he hand Erika walked brisk fully down the street.
All the time Erika stared at the side walk sacred out of her mind. She didn't know what to
do but trust him. But in her heart she knew something back was going to happen.
Sure enough, they had entered the slum district of the colony's main city and Erika noticed
there where less and less people on the streets as the continued to walk in strait. Heero
flashed a look through the corner of his eye behind them. The five men where still behind them.
"Erika..."
"Yeah..." Erika gulped at dry throat. She was so scared she almost felt like she could cry.
"The next alley to our left, turn into it okay?"
But Erika didn't listen and as they walked by the alley, Heero pushed her to turn.
Erika stumbled and tripped over a can on the ground and fell over. She knocked over a trash
can and the noise of the can hitting the pavement echoed through the alley to a dead end.
"Damn it!" Heero yelled and the men appeared on the outside of the alley.
"So, we've finally found you, Heero Yuy..."
Erika stood up from the dirty ground and rushed herself off. Heero stepped in front of her,
pushing her back with one hand. Erika panicked as she gripped Heero's arm. Who were these
people and what did they want? "So, are you ready cooperate with us now?" The head man for the
black suit men asked Heero stepping forward.
"Tck..." Heero narrowed his eyes and Erika trembled all over her body. The headman singled the
others with the nod of hi head and that instant the four men pulled out hand guns from the
jackets. "Do you really want to endanger that pretty girl there?" he asked Heero.
"Oh my god..." Erika muttered as hot tears formed in her eyes. She held on to Heero tightly
and started to sob silently. The men in the suits began to chuckle and laugh at Erika as she
cried and mocked the unarmed Heero.
"Get back, Erika."
"What?" Heero snatched his arm away from Erika and shoving her to the ground. Erika fell back
behind a garbage can, her face and left arm scratching against the brick wall. The sounds of a
gun went off and Erika covered her moth to drowned out her scream of on waiting shock.
Heero was dead, she knew it. He had to be dead after only just one shot and then they'd killer
her too...
