Shinna sighed, "Alex said he couldn't come. Did Trey?"
"It's ringing, Trey?" Trio looked over at Shinna, who waited with anticipation. "Hey, Trey. It's me, Trio."
"Hey, Trio. What's up?"
"Um, we've got a little bit of a problem."
"Yea, I know, Duo called here looking for ya. What's going on?"
"Shinna and I are running away."
"What? Why?"
"Wufei, Kai, poor Shiro, the tension and stress of the 'X' is getting at us. And we overheard Wufei loosing a gasket and saying he hates me and Shinna and we've decided we need to get away, maybe the 'X' will follow us and leave the others alone."
"Did you say Shinna was going?"
Trio blinked, surprised by the question. "It was HER idea, so.duh."
"How rude!" Trey laughed. "So, when are you leaving?"
"We need to grab some shirts, blankets, food, money."
"Okay, okay, I get it," Trey laughed again.
"SO?" Shinna said, grabbing the phone away from Trio, who had a surprised look on her face. "Are you coming?"
"Why should I?"
Shinna scowled, "Fine, you could've just said no."
"I didn't say I wasn't, but I didn't say I was. I asked a question."
"Hmm, let's think about this." Shinna put up two fingers on her left hand, which was unoccupied, "Two teenage girls all alone in the world." Shinna put both fingers down, "No boys to protect them if they get into trouble." Shinna put back up one finger, "And a boy sitting at home, who's the two girls' last chance at protection."
Trey laughed, "Let me talk to Trio." Shinna rolled her eyes and handed Trio back her cell phone.
"Does she always make such a strong case?"
"I don't know. Are you interested in coming? Or are we wasting our time?"
"What was it you said you needed?"
"Trey, if you're not coming, we've gotta go get our stuff together. Is it a yes or no?"
"Answer me first, what might you need?"
"TREY! I don't have time for your games!"
'They're trying to get me to stall,' Trey said in her mind.
"How? Why?"
'They're trying to trace your phone so they can find you.'
"They are, are they?"
"Yes," Trey said aloud.
'Are you coming?'
"Yes."
"Good, bye." Trio hung up quickly. 'Did they get it?'
'No, they missed it, by one second.'
Trio sighed, 'Good. Get your stuff together and meet us at IceCreamy in an hour, if you can't make that, we'll wait until sunrise, but no later.'
'I'll be there soon. They want me to call you back, and tell you to call me back.'
'No more games, be there ASAP.' Trio broke the connection.
"What the HECK was going on?" Shinna 'barked' at Trio.
Trio rubbed her ear; "OW.We had a little bit of a problem. They were trying to trace us."
"They being."
"I'm guessing Jerome called Leo and told him if we called to trace us.he almost had us."
"So? So? SO? Is he coming?"
"Yea, we need to meet him at the IceCreamy shop in an hour."
"Well, let's get going!"
'Trio?' Trey's voice popped in her head again. 'I just wanted to tell you something.'
'What?'
'Tell Shinna, wait, don't tell Shinna,' Both of the G-Alloids felt a spark but it had no apparent reason for happening. Trey continued, 'I'm only going to protect her. I mean, I'm going to protect you both but the real reason I'm going is so I can be with Shinna and comfort her and protect her.'
'How sweet, I understand. See ya.'
'Bye.' This time Trey broke off the contact.
Shinna and Trio set off, flying to Sherri's house. They flew in silence, witnessing the ground from above for the first time. They avoided crowded streets and flew up high to lower the chances of being spotted. Trio knew she would not be able to fly long if someone saw them and they had to fly fast to make an escape.
"So," Shinna finally spoke, breaking the pleasant silence as they carefully and quietly landed in Sherri's backyard. "Do you think Trey really likes me?"
Trio blinked, "Where did you get THAT idea?"
"From your conversation with him after you hung up. You forgot to protect the channel, I just listened is all." Shinna smirked at her brilliant idea.
"YOU LITTLE BAKA!" Trio whispered. "So it WAS you. That little spark gave you away."
Shinna's smile fell. "So the conversation was staged?"
It was Trio's turn to smile; "I never said that."
Shinna lifted off the ground up to the second story window and pushed it open. Grabbing onto the sides of the window, she retracted her wings and slipped in. Trio did the same.
After the girls got into the room Trio closed the window. The light came on, blinding the two girls.
"Where did you think you were going?" Wufei, Duo, Ken and Jerome were sitting on Shinna's bed.
"Where's Daemon?" Shinna asked. She knew that if she had to fight her way out, Daemon could stop her, but she wasn't sure if they knew it.
"With Trey. We know you called him and he didn't say no," Ken informed her with a smirk. "And we had the phone bugged without Trey's knowledge and we actually DID get a location on your phone.
"What?! How could you do that?! Jerome?" Trio looked to the man she called 'Dad'.
"I'm sorry, Trio, but we had to do it, you're too valuable to us."
"Valuable?! Am I just a possession of yours?!" Trio ran at Jerome but Duo stepped in front of him. Trio leached to a halt.
"I haven't forgotten the Gundam Rules," Duo said grimly.
"We left Daemon with Trey because you can't hurt each other and we brought Duo and Wufei because you can't hurt your pilot or another's pilot," Ken informed her.
"Damn you, Ken," Trio cursed.
"Yea? It was your fathers, Jerome and Duo that let me know of the rules."
"Why don't you just leave us alone?!" Trio shrieked.
"Can't do that kid," Duo replied. It seemed like he was sad to say what he had to say. "Don't make me say it." Duo expected Trio to know what he was talking about, and she did. If he commanded her, she had to do what he told her.
"Duo, please, just leave me alone, let me sort out everything." Trio laid both of her hands palm up and she stepped closer to Duo. Duo stepped forward quickly and slapped the top of her hands, (which were facing the floor.)
"You've forfeited those rights now, Trio." Duo, with a grim frown on his face grabbed her wrists. Trio gasped and tried to pull her wrists free, but Duo held tight. "Don't fight, Trio. Trio, TRIO! SLEEP!" Trio's eyes went wide and her eyelids sunk down as she slid to the floor, Duo still holding her wrists.
"It's ringing, Trey?" Trio looked over at Shinna, who waited with anticipation. "Hey, Trey. It's me, Trio."
"Hey, Trio. What's up?"
"Um, we've got a little bit of a problem."
