Chapter 11

(Sukie's POV)

When I woke up, everything was blurry. When things came into focus, I noticed that I was on a bed, and I wasn't tied up anymore. The room was well furnished, and in good taste. I saw some items around the room that let me know I was at an OZ base. I groaned inwardly. 'Not again…' I thought to myself. Then someone entered the room. I recognized him as Munroe. He smiled derisively as I struggled to sit upright.

"So I see you finally woke up." He said.

"What do you want?" I asked hoarsely.

"To get revenge for this." He said, and held out his left arm, which he had been holding behind his back. The sleeve was rolled up to just past his elbow. My eyes widened as I fought down the urge to vomit, and my hand went up to my mouth as I gasped. His arm and hand were an unhealthy shade of yellow, and his fingers were totally disfigured. "You did this to me." I just looked at him for a minute.

"Um, actually I didn't do that. Heero was the one that made the bomb and Erishi was the one who told him to do it." I told him. I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't believe me.

"Believe me, Sukie Taki; you will regret ever telling Heero Yuy to make that bomb." He said with a glint in his eye that I wasn't too sure I liked.

(Duo's POV)

When Heero, Wufei and I had gotten to the ski lodge, Quatre was beyond pissed. He was sitting in a chair, arms crossed, his feet propped up on a table, with no expression on his face. He almost looked calm, except for a certain glint in his eyes. It was the kind of glint that made us all want to stay at least three feet away from him. Erishi explained everything to us, and after she was done, I put my hands behind my head and leaned back in the chair I was in.

"So, what are we gonna do to get her back?" I asked cheerfully.

"We could always just go and kidnap her back." Erishi offered. Quatre shook his head.

"I'm going to get back at whoever did this, and they're not gonna like it." He replied. Rufus looked up suddenly as if he had an idea.

"We could kidnap an OZ soldier, and send a letter saying that if they want their soldier back, they have to give us Sukie." He said, looking pretty pleased with himself. Quatre looked at him for a moment, then leaned forward, steepled his fingertips together, and smiled somewhat evilly. It was quite unsettling to see Quatre smile evilly.

"You know, that might work Rufus. You're actually pretty smart for a kid." Quatre told him. Rufus semi-glared at him, but then went back to looking pleased with himself. I played with the end of my braid as I talked.

"So who are we gonna kidnap?" I asked.

"Good question." Quatre sighed.

"I say we just find the base she's at, find someone who looks fit to be kidnapped, and take them." Wufei spoke up. I looked at him curiously.

"How do you look fit to be kidnapped?" I asked innocently. Heero reached over and lightly yanked my braid. I yelped slightly in surprise, and then stuck my tongue out at him.

"Well, this will be fun." Erishi commented, smiling.
