Visiting Hours

Chapter Ten

Duo's POV

"It was easy to find Quatre again but finding you four was the true challenge. After I installed some cameras throughout the house, I came to find that Mr. Barton visited every Sunday for a short time. Before I did anything, I had Quatre's house searched thoroughly while I tortured him some more." Mitch was enjoying the glares we all shot him as Quatre's eyes were wide in fear in realizing what had been going on for all this time.

"Eventually, Quatre received a letter from a certain Heero Yuy and I had another pilot within my grasp. Though, of course, Heero sent it from a fake address and we had a bit of trouble, but eventually we broke his little game down." I heard Heero's growl at the mention of his capture; he always was too proud.

"Chang Wufei was the next to go down when he used an unregistered cell phone to call Mr. Yuy. We received the call at Heero's home and used a voice-over[1] to find his location. He put up a fight and almost won but we broke him down as well." Mitch snickered at his easy captures. "Then there was only one left to find."

I was surprised to be the last pilot found, especially considering my usual recklessness in covering my tracks unlike Heero and Wufei. Mitch now stood in front of me and continued his tale. I glared harshly at him.

"From dear Quatre's journal," Quatre's eyes widened more at this, "I found that he and the final pilot had become very close friends over the years, so I decided to play some more and bring Mr. Maxwell to me. Soon enough, I found his whereabouts and set up a scam. With my sister's help, we were able to bring the pilot to his knees." I grimaced at the thought of what had happened. In a mock hurt voice, Mitch continued.

"Overcome with grief, poor little Duo ran to his friend Quatre for comfort, and landed right into my trap. Got more than you wanted didn't you Duo." I glared daggers at him but couldn't hide the sorrow that racked my body.

"Ok, so you caught us all. You've overpowered all five of the Gundam Pilots, big deal, we've only gotten a little careless over the years. For what purpose are we here? What's next?" Mitch strode over to an angry Wufei.

Suddenly, Mitch drew his pocketknife and held it to Wufei's cheek. Quatre protested and tried to cry out but his gag prevented him to do so. At an excruciatingly slow rate, Mitch dragged the knife across Wufei's left cheek and watched as blood flowed from the wound. Quatre's wince went thankfully unnoticed to Mitch as he felt the pain in his own cheek.

But all Mitch saw on Wufei's face was, well, nothing. Wufei showed no pain or anger to what had just been done to him. Angrily, Mitch turned to Trowa and cut his shoulder but only received the same reaction. With even more rage in his eyes, he turned on me. Positive that he would get some reaction from me, he lashed out at me with his knife.

For the second time in less than a week, I was saved from Mitch's knife. Just as Mitch was about to cut me, Trowa's foot lashed out and caught Mitch's ankle. Somehow, Trowa had gotten his foot loose and tripped Mitch at an angle that resulted in my feet to be released as well. With my foot, kicked the knife to Heero whose hands were already free. After cutting his feet free, Heero moved to undo my hands. I placed one of my legs down onto Mitch's back to prevent him from getting up as long as I could.

Eventually though, Mitch overpowered me and stood. He rushed to tackle Heero but was stopped once again by my foot tripping him. Heero quickly cut my remaining bindings and I was on Mitch like flies on honey. To myself, I wondered what had happened to the other gang members and Ariana but with a quick glance around, I saw the two gang members' unconscious bodies and a disgruntled Wufei. Ariana, though, was nowhere in sight.

"Guess we haven't gotten too careless now have we."

Not caring how Wufei even got free, I focused back on Mitch. He was going to pay for killing Kurt and hurting all of my friends, but as I looked down at him he was already unconscious from hitting his head on the concrete floor. I wanted to get him back so bad, but I wasn't about to fight him unfairly. Slowly, I got off of him and walked towards Quatre and the others.



Trowa had just removed Quatre's gag as I walked up. We all noticed the blood on it and decided we need to get him to a hospital, as well as treat our own wounds. Carefully, Heero picked Quatre up and we made our way for the door.

Just before I reached the doorway, I felt a hand pull my braid. I stumbled backwards and into someone's embrace but it wasn't a loving one. Soon after I fell into their arms, I was being choked in a headlock and had a gun against my temple. In a hushed whisper, as to not alert the retreating others, the person spoke to me.

"Don't make a sound or I blow your pals' brains out." I recognized the voice to be Mitch's and obliged to his demands. I knew I should have checked to make sure he was really out before!

Silently, he pulled me backwards and into the shadows with him. I noticed as Ariana was clearing away the other gang members as well as the evidence and wondered if the others had even noticed my disappearance.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[1] - You know what I mean, right? Like they made their voice sound like Heero's with a little device thingy. ^_^

Oops….*hides* Another cliffhanger, I know! It got exciting in this chapter, eh?

Well, please review and remember that it's my birthday!

::COMING SOON::

The next chapter will be from someone else's POV, isn't that neat? Oh! And something VERY DRASTIC and EMOTIONAL happens. ^_~

Later!
