Chapter 29

Hi. Thanks for the reviews.

 Leanna finally found the blue prints. She brought them to a table and everyone surrounded them to see. Quarte ran his hand over the words as his eyes skimmed the paper. Heero's eyes moved more steadily, reading each of the words. Duo looked at the designs, looking for something that resembled a vent. Wufei skimmed at the designs and words over, while Trowa read the words and looked at the designs.  The others did something similar to what the five were doing. This went on for a few minutes until Heero said, "I found it."

 He pointed to it and everyone moved their eyes to where his finger pointed. The diagram showed a vent that was in the floor of the control room and led to a room just below it.

 "Leanna, what's below there?" Quarte asked.

 "Let's see, if it's over there then the room below that would be the one Jake's in I think. Or is Mariemaya? I can't remember. I think it's…" she said trying to figure it out aloud. She wasn't really talking to any of them and was staring off into space.

 "I should have never asked," Quarte said after a few minutes of this. Leanna didn't notice, just kept muttering to herself about it.

 "Yeah," Heero said and leaned against a wall.

 Michael stood waiting for the answer. After a few minutes, a man from the other boat spoke up.

 "We brought some but we where hoping we wouldn't have to use it," he said.

 "Where are they?" Michael asked.

 "In the boat," the man said and shifted nervously.

 "Go get them," he said and the man hesitantly obeyed. Michael grinned. This would get rid of Yuy and the evidenced. It was perfect. Nothing about it could go wrong.

 Jake sighed and began to study the ceiling. It was a yellowish-white color and had the popcorn design. He looked it over looking for pictures that would be outlined when he noticed a vent in the ceiling. It wasn't that unusual except it was fairly large. It looked as though it was 36in.x24in. Jake stared at for a while before he went back to staring at the ceiling.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Janie looked at him and asked, "What do you mean I spoke?"

 Jake didn't answer for a moment. He just sat there staring at her. Finally he said, "You haven't spoke for two months now."

 "What happened two months ago?" she asked. Some of it was starting to come together in her mind. She believed that this was dream now and wanted to know why she was dreaming about this.

 "Don't you remember?" he sighed. She shook her head and he gave a slight growl.
 "You had a miscarriage and went into a state of depression. But it seems that you're coming out of it," he said. Her eyes widened slightly at this and she didn't ask any more questions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Leanna finally figured it out. The vent was above Jake's room. But there was another problem.

 "We're going to fall if we go through the vent. It just goes straight down," Quarte said.

 "Well, couldn't someone go down first and get Jake to help them down and then they help the others?" Relena asked.

 "If we did that it would be the first few trying to catch the others before the hit the floor. It would be dangerous for you and Amber," Duo said.

 "We might not have a choice unless there's a ladder on here which I doubt," Heero said. He was still leaning against the wall.

 "Yeah, nothing's that easy," Duo said.

 "None you have any faith, do you?" Amber asked.

 "Yeah but you know. Nothing is very that easy unless you're in a movie or book which I know we're not," Duo said.
