Chapter Two: Repercussions
Duo knocked on the door of the safe house awkwardly.
Quatre came to the door and answered it, looking at Duo curiously, knowing that Duo had a key. When he realized just what it was that Duo was carrying in his arms, he threw the door wide open and helped Duo inside quickly.
"By Allah! What happened, Duo?" Quatre demanded worriedly. "Were you discovered and attacked?"
"No, it wasn't Oz or the Romafeller Foundation," Duo replied sheepishly.
"Then what on Earth happened?"
"Iaccidentallyhithimintheheadwithabaseball," Duo blurted out quickly.
"What?" Quatre asked, not having caught a single word that Duo had said.
"I accidentally hit him in the head with a baseball," Duo repeated at a much slower pace. "I found a ball and bat at the park and decided to amuse myself with it. Heero didn't want to play with me so I went off away from Heero so I wouldn't hit him. Well, I wasn't paying attention to where the ball was going and well," Duo paused I accidentally pegged him in the head."
"I see, well, let's check him and make sure that he'll be alright," Quatre said with a sigh. "I'm sure he'll forgive you."
"Do you really think so?" Duo asked hopefully.
"Yes, but let's get him looked at and comfortable," Quatre replied hesitantly. The two of them carefully carried Heero to the room he shared with Duo.
"Hm, his pulse is fine," Quatre said as he checked Heero's pulse. He then pulled a powerfully penlight out of the medical kit and shone it into Heero's eyes, watching for pupil dilation. "This isn't good," Quatre hummed disapprovingly.
"What's not?" Duo demanded worriedly.
"You've given him a concussion," Quatre sighed as he continued checking Heero thoroughly to make sure that nothing else was wrong with the Wing Zero pilot.
"Is that all?" Duo asked worriedly.
"Thankfully, yes," Quatre replied, Duo breathed a tiny sigh of relief.
