Heero and Zach as he had found was the name of the boy were walking down
the corridor towards Duo.
Zach was walking in front of Heero with the gun still pointed at him by a pensive Heero.
What Zach had told him was very interesting but at the same time it put a brand new problem into the mix. Zach was another experiment like himself and Taryn. Only Zach had been told he was a proper biological baby and his mother had been killed. In fact he had just been too old to absorb the information needed.
Now he was just an errand boy and spent his time surfing. He had also mentioned that his dad had taken some of his clothing and he didn't know why. Heero did, it was for Taryn that meant she was alive and hopefully all right.
Zach hadn't asked Heero any questions and had agreed to accompany Heero to try and find Duo and Taryn.
Zach's head was spinning. Who was this dude and why did he have a gun pointed at him? He wasn't going to do anything stupid cause this dude looked mean ... and kinda scary.
He just hoped these Duo and Taryn characters were a bit more friendly. Taryn kinda rang a bell ... Duo he had never heard of but Taryn stirred a deep memory that he couldn't quite bring to the surface.
He wondered who the guy with the gun was ... maybe he should ask ... then again maybe he shouldn't ... that guy knew how to handle a gun and he sure as hell didn't want a bullet in the back of his head.
Instead he just concentrated on walking and thought about his upcoming surf competition. He was just going through when he realised he was actually muttering under his breathe and kinda twitching as he was going through his set up ... he quickly stopped and blushed red as he walked along.
The guy behind for his merit hadn't mentioned a thing which he would have found impossible; he would have been ripping the piss if the roles had been reversed.
He glanced up ahead and saw a guy running his hands over a wall ... what in the name of god was he doing? A shout from gun guy caused the guy to turn swiftly before rubbing his sleeve over his face and fixing a grin in place. Aha ... this dude looked friendly!
Duo looked up in surprise as he heard Heero's voice. He turned on heel to see him approaching with a guy in red Hawaiian surf shorts, a bright yellow rip curl t-shirt and from the sunglasses sun kissed skin and hair he guessed he was a surfer.
He fixed a grin on his face as the two drew up to him.
He caught sight of his reflection and luckily the tear tracks had been suitably smudged and his eyes didn't let on he had been crying. He held out a hand to the surfer "It's Duo, I may run and hide but I never tell a lie ... pleased to meet ya" He said with a wink.
Zach couldn't help but stare at this guy. His eyes were this amazing purple ... it was the purple you saw when you were sitting way out on your surfboard at dawn just before the sky went to its normal blue colour... it only lasted a few seconds ... he caught the raised eyebrow and snort of laughter from Duo and quickly stuck his hand out and averted his eyes "Zach ... nice to meet ya Duo."
Zach was kicking himself mentally ... god it was only an eye colour for heavens sake! This guy looked genuinely cool and now he probably thought he was a raving poof.
Duo laughed inwardly ... lots of people found his eyes a cool colour but he liked this guy ... he was friendly just as well Heero hadn't shot him ... wait a minute ... why hadn't Heero shot him?
"He-man I mean Heero ..." Duo waited for the customary death glare that would surely accompany the name Duo had dubbed Heero ...there is was "erm ... this wall aint solid ... but I don't know how to get through it got any bright ideas?" Heero stepped aside and shot the door ... twice and a few whirrings later it opened, "Or you could just shoot the door ..." said Duo is disbelief.
He-man ... Zach had wanted to laugh but on account of the gun that was still pointed at him had just looked at the floor and breathed deeply... ok ... Heero... that name rung a bell to ... but where had he heard them ... Zach's brain was having a hard time coping with all of this and he had almost jumped out of his skin when Heero had shot the door ... The guy sure was trigger happy ... but at least the gun wasn't pointed at the back of his head anymore ... that had been kinda scary and even though the other guy seemed nice enough this one gave him the creeps.
Zach glanced up as the door before them made a few random noises before starting to open.
The door swung open and the three boys winced and screwed up their eyes at the brightness of the light. Duo was the first to recover and slowly made his way into the room closely followed by Zach and Heero.
