One Week Later....
Heero laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling. He was perfectly fine and if it wasn't for the small fact that Duo was sitting beside him, he'd leave. Relena had insisted that he stay until his cut was fully healed. It was healed enough for him to move and that was fine with him. But it wasn't for her and she was determined not to let him leave yet. She had instructed either her or Duo to keep watch on him so he couldn't leave.
She was also very upset with him at the moment. He still wouldn't tell her how he had gotten the cut, or where he had been at all this time. She wasn't speaking to him at the moment in an attempt to get him to tell her. It was clearly not working and she was not happy about it.
He turned to look at Duo, seeing the braided man watching him, waiting for an explination. He always fixed him with the same stare as though saying he wasn't going anywhere until they found out something. Heero took a deep sigh and forced his gazed back up to the ceiling.
At that moment, Relena walked in. She smiled at Duo as both the men's heads turned to see her.
"Duo, I'm relieving you. I'll take over from now." She said, cheerfully.
"But its not your turn yet." he said suspiciously.
"You have a phone call from Lady Une. I figured you could just pay me overtime later" she smiled. Duo sighed and stood up.
"Fine....I'll be back in a bit." He rushed off out of the room to receive his phone call. Relena took Duo's seat and grabbed a book from off the bedside table, opening it to where she had her bookmark, and began to read. Heero's eye turned back to the ceiling and his thoughts turned back to his mission. He had been so careless. He deserve the aweful scar he was gunna get on his stomach. And he still couldn't figure out why he had come to the Sanq Kingdom in the first place. He knew better than that. He had probably just messed up everything. *Lady Une is not going to be happy when she finds out. I'll just have to dissapear again.*
At that moment, Duo walked back in, looking grave.
"Relena, can ya give me and Heero a moment?" he said, not taking his eyes off Heero. Heero stared at the braided man, wondering just how much he knew now. He sure as hell knew something. Relena also kept her eyes on Duo.
"Whats going on?" she asked, placing her book down again.
"Nothing," Duo replied. "I just need to talk to Heero for a sec."
"But Duo....." she started, but Heero cut her off.
"Relena, get out." he stated, not taking his eyes off Duo. Relena stood there for a moment, disbelief that she couldn't know written all over her face. Then she marched out of the room as if she had just been deeply insulted, closing the door behind her. The two men stared at each other abit longer before one began to talk.
"So I guess you know who was on the phone?" Duo said, as if Heero hadn't heard Relena tell him who it was.
"Yes. I heard Relena say it. It was Lady Une." he stated the obvious.
"Got any idea what she could have wanted?" he asked, very suspiciously. Heero stared at him a moment, not saying anything. Lady Une wouldn't accually ask about him, would she? He had been gone for a while, and hadn't checked in. He knew she would probablty be worried, but would she go to the extremes?
"I have no idea." he said, taking his gaze away from Duo and bringing it back to the ceiling. "How is she doing?" he said, trying to devert all suspision from Duo's mind. It didn't work. Duo ignored the question.
"I think you have perfect idea." He said, now standing by the bed. "I mean, damn! She was calling asking for you!" Heero gulped and looked at Duo.
"She was?"
"Yes!"
"What did she say?"
"She asked if I had any idea where you were because she hadn't heard from you in a while." Duo paused a moment to see the reaction on Heero's face and was dissapointed when he got none. "I told her you weren't here and that we hadn't seen you. She turned pale...she knew you were alive this whole time, didn't she? She's worried about you! I could see it in her eyes when I said we hadn't heard from you. What, did you go on a mission and she thinks you haven't come back or something? You can tell me, man."
Heero took a deep sigh that wasn't noticable. Duo had figured it out. Well, most of it. He could trust Duo. He could tell him everything.
"Sit down, Duo." he said, and raised his gaze back to the ceiling. Duo immediatly took his seat, looking very please that he had figured it out.
"Duo, I trust you. What I tell you, you can't tell anyone. If you do, I could die." Duo nodded his head in understanding.
"I've been working for Lady Une with the Preventers..." he started.
"Really! I didn't know that! I work there too. I've never seen you there though. Whaddaya hidin from us or something?" Duo interupted. At the glare Heero gave him, he quickly muttered an appology and shut up.
"Like I was saying," he tried again. "I work for Lady Une. I go on special missions. She calls me whenever she needs me. After each mission, I'm supposed to check in. I haven't done it this time cause I've been here."
"So why didn't you just tell us that in the first place?" Duo asked.
"Because the missions I go on are not the same kind of missions you go on. I go on Anonymous Missions. I go on the really dangerous ones. I go on the missions that really piss people off. If I'm not killed during the mission, then I could still get killed outside it. If people knew where I was, who I was, who I worked for.....they could come after me at any second. I go on what is commonly called a Death Mission. Not because I could die in the mission, but because I can die outside it too. I ruin peoples plans and they arn't happy with me. I know many who would see me dead right now. They would make sure it too if they knew where I was. That is why no one was to know I was alive. It protected them as well as myself. You cannot tell anyone all of this. And you have to promise that my being here will not be told to anyone. Relena could be in so much trouble if the enemy found out I was here. Promise me, Duo."
"Of course, I promise. But you have to promise me something too." Duo replied. Heero sat up and looked at him. "You have to promise not to go on any more 'Death Missions' without me." Before Heero could respond, Relena burst into the room.
"Nobody is going on any 'Death Missions'!" she yelled and marched over to Heero. She had ease dropped and heard everything. She took a seat on the edge of the bed and gently placed a hand on the other side of Heero as if blocking him from standing up, her eyes pleading with him.
"Heero, please. Promise me you won't go on any more death missions." she said. Heero said nothing, but just stared into her gorgeous marine eyes. Maybe those were the reason he came here. Those beautiful eyes started filling with tears. "Please," she whispered in a pleading voice.
"Ok." Heero heard himself say. He heard Duo snicker beside him but didn't move his eyes from hers. Relena smiled.
"Thank you, Heero" she said and leaned over, kissing him on his cheek. Duo shut up but Heero could tell he wanted to bust out laughing. Heero on the other hand was stunned and said nothin, but watched her hop up and leave, saying something about bringing up some tea. He wasn't really sure if thats what she said or not. His ears weren't working right for some reason. As she closed the door, Duo bust out laughing, almost falling out of his chair. Heero turned to him, glaring madly.
"Sorry, man, sorry." Duo laughed. "But the look on your face...." and he started laughing again. Heero sighed and stood up. Duo stopped laughing and looked at him. "What are ya doin?"
Heero was dressed in nothing but black boxers with gold playboy bunnies on them. Heero glared at Duo who gave him an innocent look in return.
"What? I thought you would like them!" Heero rolled his eyes and head for his cloths on the desk across the room. Duo had taken the inititive to buy Heero something to wear over the week considering the cloths he came in were unusable. According to Duo, they were covered in blood and ripped everywhere.
A pair of kakis and a plain white T-shirt lay on the desk along with a belt. Heero quickly pulled them on. Tucking his shirt in, he put his belt on. His kakies were abit too big for him. He didn't mind though. He always wore pants abit too big for him. It gave him more room to move around on missions. Drapped over the chair was a jean jacket that Heero could see was too big for him. He put it on anyway and felt unusually comfortable in the over sized jacket. He quickly pulled on some socks and the pair of Tims sitting at the foot of the bed, and walk toward the balcony.
"Why don't you just use the door?" Duo asked, hands casualy behind his head.
"I'm not stupid," Heero retorted as he opened the balcony doors and stepped to the railing. "I know you got guards out there." Duo grinned.
Heero hopped the railing, falling down three stories. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach as he landed on his feet, but stood tall anyway and started walking toward the front of the mansion.
Duo watched as Heero jumped over the railing. He jumped up and ran to the balcony.
"Wait for me!" he cryed as he jumped the railing too and landed on his feet. He ran after Heero who was already a couple steps ahead of him.
"Where ya going?" he asked as he caught up with him, following him to the front. Heero said nothing as he searched the circle driveway for his car. Then it hit him. He had left his car at home on this mission. He mentally slapped himself as he searched for another. He noticed Duo car parked in driveway and walked over to it. It was a beautifully shaded dark green Mustang and Heero knew Duo praised his car.
Heero got in the drivers seat and look for the keys. They were in the ignition.
"Hey! Thats my car!" Duo yelled and ran toward the car as Heero turned the key. Duo hopped in the passanger side, recieving a glare from Heero. "This is my car. Where it goes, I go!" he stated comically, crossing his arms and refusing to get out. Heero knew he was just using that as an excuse so he could go with him. Heero sighed and drove off. About a mile down the road, Duo turned to him.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"To get my car." Heero stated monotonously, like always.
"What kinda car is it? Not as good as my baby I bet, huh?" he said, patting the car's chair affectionatly. Heero remained silent, so Duo turned on the radio. As Duo tried to sing with the music, Heero became lost in his thoughts again.
He didn't want to brake the promise he had made to Relena, but he couldn't stop the missions. He just couldn't stop doing them even if he wanted to. He had to to help her keep the peace she had tried so hard for. So he wouldn't let her know he was still working. She wasn't supposed to know in the first place, anyway.
And what was he going to do about Duo? Now that Duo knew his secret, he wouldn't let him go on missions by himself. And soon he was gunna find out where Heero lived. This was getting too complicated. He couldn't take Duo on the missions. He didn't want to risk the braided man's life. He didn't care about his own but Duo didn't need to be throwing his life away.
Heero sighed as he pulled into his drive way. Duo turned off the radio, his eyes wide.
"You live HERE!" he asked. Heero continued to drive down the driveway. It was a mile long and you couldn't see the house from the road.
"I'd heard about this place.....its like HUGE! And I heard it was beautiful! Wait......this is the Piolet Estate, isn't it?" Confusion came over his face. Heero said nothing. Full recognition came over Duo's face.
"OH!!! The Piolet Estate! You a Gundam Piolet!! HAHA! Thats a good one! I would have never thought of that. Your a smart man!" He said enthusiastically. Heero again said nothing. They rode down the gravel road that was hugged by trees on either side, only letting bits of sun penetrate their leaves to get the rocky stretch below. Duo's jaw dropped as the house came into veiw.
It was a two story, brick house with a beautiful full porch leading to a wooden door. On the right side of the house was a full in ground pool, ranging from 3 to 12 feet. The pool was surrounded by lawn chairs and tables. The whole look of it was inviting. On the left side of the house was a closed garage. There were trees surrounding the whole estate but not a leaf on the ground. Flowers sprout up everywhere, giving the onlooker the impression the house was built in the middle of a garden. There was something in the back of the house but Duo couldn't tell what it was.
Heero got out of the car, followed quickly by Duo, and waltzed up to the door. On the side of the door, he opened a peice of the wall Duo hadn't noticed before, to reveal a keypad. Heero quickly punched in a few numbers, going to quick for Duo to catch. A light on top of the keypad turned green and Heero closed the wall back. Duo looked hard but couldnt tell where the wall opened after it had been closed. Heero opened the door and walked in.
