Author's Note: Sorry for not updating in so long! The hard drive on my computer died so we had to get a new one and then it took FOREVER to get everything back up. also, i've been having a kinda writer's block on top of college application essays due (eek!) so I haven't really been able to do much as far as furthering the plot goes ^^""
Special thanks to: Noisulli and Shadow Fox2 for the support! ^^

The Sixth Pilot
"Hey Alita! Don't work too late now you'll make the rest of us look bad!" Jane teased as she stopped on her way out of the office.
Eirene turned away from the computer screen. "Wow. Is the day over already?"
Jane's eyes opened wide. "Gosh Alita! Are you saying you actually LIKE this job? It's so boring! You do the same stuff over and over again and it NEVER ends." She rolls her eyes.
Eirene beamed. "Well, it is quite fun to find backdoors in the computer systems, patch them up, and find more. it's challenging!"
"Have fun then!" Jane chuckled disbelievingly and left.
Eirene turned back to the computer screen. Yes. This job is fun. But in a different way. She closed the system security program and pulled up her log of all the communications in and out of the building today. There are two good things about working for OZ: they'll never think to look for her here, so close to home, and she'll be able to keep an eye on their activities. Yes. This job is definitely fun.

Duo stepped into his dark apartment and threw his jacket on the floor. Not bothering to turn the lights on, he made his way to his room. Passing the door to Alita's room, he stopped as he realized that he has not entered the room since the day she left. *Alita...* He opened her room door and walked inside. A sliver of moonlight reflected off the broken pieces of glass in the corner of the room. He walked over and picked up the photograph from the shards of glass. Her still image smiled up at him. He sat down on her bed and looked back at her sadly.
"You probably only ever thought of me as a friend huh?" He asked the smiling photograph. "I guess I was a fool to think that there was anything more." Duo lay back on the bed as warm moisture filled his eyes. "I love you Alita."

Medea looked through the long list of apartments and smiled as she found what she was looking for. Mr. Maxwell is going to get a lovely surprise tonight.

Medea peered into the dark apartment and doubt started to fill her mind. What if she has the wrong apartment? She spotted a jacket near the door. That's the jacket 02 had worn. Taking out her glass-cutting knife, she cut a hole in the window, reached through, took off the latch, and pushed the window open. She looked down at the lighted street below and decided not to leave anything on the fire escape. Making sure that her tranquilizer gun was fully loaded, she climbed into the apartment.
Inside, she heard a bed creak as someone turned in it. Walking slowly to the door, she put her ears close to it and listened. No movement. Opening the door slightly, she peered inside. The person on the bed didn't move. She pushed the door open a bit more and slipped into the room. She walked cautiously to the bed and looked down at the sleeping pilot. *This is going to be too easy.* She fired a tranquilizer dart at 02 to keep him unconscious and started tying him up.
