"It seems clear," Duo said as he and Heero, with an unconscious Relena in his arms, waited in the first floor stairwell.
"…"
"Lets see where they're at," Duo said as he took out his cell phone again and dialed Quatre's number.
"Hello," Quatre said as he answered his cell.
"Where are you guys at?"
"We're waiting for you both to make a move," Quatre said, quietly, trying not to get anyone to see them from the vans.
"Come around back then. Heero and I will be waiting…what car did you guys bring?"
"We brought the motorcycles…why?" Quatre asked, hoping that nothing had happened to neither of them or Relena.
"We're going to double up, but Heero is going to have to take his own."
"Wufei, Trowa, this way," Quatre said as they got back on the motorcycles and as quietly as possible, made their way around the back.
"They brought the motorcycles," Duo said as he looked outside again, to see two figures walking their way.
"We've got company in here, too," Heero said as he looked up the stairwell. "Sounds like about four or five."
"Man, we can't just leave her here," Duo said as he heard noises coming from outside.
"Duo! Heero!"
"Quatre?" Duo asked as he opened the door wide enough to see three figures walking around the hallway.
"Duo! Is Heero and Ms. Relena there with you?" Quatre asked as he and the others walked towards them.
"Yeah. Lets get out of here," Duo said as he and Heero walked out of the stairwell and ran out of the doors that were down the hallway.
"I guess it's a good thing we brought your motorcycle then," Wufei said as he saw Heero get on while he positioned Relena in front of him in a way where she wouldn't get in the way too much.
"…"
"I'll ride with Wu-man, Quatre," Duo said as he already made his way to Wufei, only to have Wufei glare at him.
"One word out of you while we head back…" Wufei said as he started the engine and left the others there.
"Go on, Heero…we'll be right behind you," Quatre said as he got behind Trowa, who nodded in agreement.
"…Be careful," Heero said as he turned on the engine and followed behind Wufei and Duo.
By the time that they all got there, safely, Lady Une, Noin, Sally, and Zechs were there, waiting for them, but it appeared that they were just getting ready to leave. Duo and Quatre got off while Wufei and Trowa went to go put the motorcycles back in the garage and Heero got off with Relena in his arms. Zechs glared at what he saw, but Noin nudged him in the ribs in a way for him to let it go and saw that Heero stopped right in front of Sally.
"She's fine, she's just unconscious," Heero said as he looked down at her, making sure that she didn't get any cuts or bruises from the time they got her to the time they made it back to the base.
"Follow me this way, Heero," Sally said as she quickly checked Relena's pulse and ran back inside the base.
Wufei and Trowa made their way back to the group and waited with Duo and Quatre on what was going to happen next.
"Hmm…thank you for what you've done today," Noin said as she smiled at them.
"Yes. You've saved us a lot of trouble. Thank you," Lady Une said as she looked at them and then turned to Zechs.
"…"
"I advise you all to get well rested. In the morning, we will have a briefing about what happened and what the positions of bodyguard you will all have," Lady Une said as she smiled again at them before glaring at Zechs and walked back up the stairs to the base.
"I will assume that you boys know you're way back to your rooms," Noin said as she smiled again at them when they nodded and walked away while dragging Zechs with her.
"You know, those two are a funny pair," Duo said as he smirked at Zechs and Noin.
"Yes well, I believe we take Lady Une's advice and get some rest," Quatre said as they all made their ways to their respective rooms, telling Duo where his was at as well.
"I want to thank you, Heero, for bringing her here and not just leaving her there. Her previous bodyguards have done that," Sally said as she checked Relena's pulse again as well as other vital signs.
"…"
"I've noticed that you're not much of a talker," Sally said as she looked up at him.
"…"
"Well…either way, I guess she'll be having to spend the night here. You might want to get some rest, too," Sally said as she waited to see if he was going to reply. She wasn't that surprised when he didn't.
"You room will be on the 2nd floor with the others, down the hall to your right and the first room to your left," Sally said as she smiled at him as he got up.
Before Heero left the room, he looked one last time at Relena to make sure she'll be all right, nodded to Sally, and left to get some well needed rest.
"Hmm…"
"Good afternoon, Ms. Relena."
"Sally, I've asked you to drop with the formalities," Relena said as she slowly opened her eyes and saw she was in the Med Ed bay in the Preventer's base.
"Heero and Duo brought you here," Sally said as she got up to check to see how Relena was doing.
"How…"
"Motorcycle…you were with Heero. He told me that you were unconscious when they opened the door to your room in the hospital," Sally said as she smiled at her.
"At least they didn't leave me there," Relena said as she remembered her last few bodyguards.
"Well…earlier today, the positions that your bodyguards were going to be having were told today…as well as their jobs and assistances here in the base," Sally said as she handed Relena some medicine.
"Oh great, that only means I'll be seeing one of them 24 hours a day and seven days a week and the only that I get along with so far is Duo," Relena said as she took the medicine and slowly got off the bed.
"Well…Duo is second in command…as far as I know of," Sally said, as she and Relena made their way out of the room.
"…Don't tell me that…"
"Relena!" came a voice from behind them.
As Relena turned around, she came to face with her brother and Noin, who had Heero and Duo walking behind them. Duo smiled at her cheerfully while Heero just nodded to her and kept his face expressionless.
"Relena, its good to see that you are doing well," Noin said as she smiled at her.
"Thank you, Noin," Relena said as she returned the smile and looked at her brother.
"I don't need any bodyguards, brother," Relena said.
"Look, Relena, I'm just trying to look out for you. You're the only family I have left and…I trust these new people that we've hired. Yuy will be your personal bodyguard and I don't want for you to be pulling all those tricks like you did with your other personal bodyguards, alright," Zechs said as he looked back at her.
"I can take care of myself, Milliardo. I don't need bodyguards to protect me," Relena said as she turned around and left all of them standing there.
"It seems like you've got your hands full, buddy," Duo said as he laughed at what Heero was going to have to go through with Relena.
Heero watched as Relena turned around and walked down the hallway, away from them. At the remark that Duo made, Heero just glared at him and walked in the same direction she went, knowing that she did not know all the threats that were shown to them in the briefing.
'Hmm…if I didn't know any better…' Duo thought as he smirked at his friend, turned around and went in the other direction, looking for a girl named, Hilde.
