"Talking"
'Thinking'
Chapter 3
Boys POV
At 8:00 the next morning the boy's were testing the trap on Quatre. It seemed almost impossible and only Trowa and Wufei, would have a chance at grabbing her. Were it a very slim chance, but still a chance. Then Wufei got an idea and he talked to Heero who then talked with Duo who left. When Quatre entered the shuttle Duo came up from behind and forced Quatre to board. This allowed Trowa and Wufei to take over the shuttle.
"Okay, it's almost 9:00 everyone knows their place." Heero said as they got ready to start this new plan. They had informed Lady Une and Sally about it and they promised to act like they didn't know.
Back to normal POV
I woke up early and pulled out my standard uniform. After putting it on I proceeded to check whether all my belongings were there especially my Katana. All was there and Sally told me that my motorcycle was onboard of the shuttle. I took my bag and went to the hangar as it was now almost 9:00 and time to go. All of the base personnel seemed to be there. Sally told me that these were only the operatives involved with the shuttle lift-offs and landings. Among the mass of people working on my departure I saw Quatre and Duo. They waved goodbye to me as I went for the shuttle. I don't know why, but I had the feeling there was something wrong. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I knew Duo and Quatre had something to do with it. I focused on Duo, but all he seemed to want to do was cause trouble. Then I tried Quatre, but I felt nothing.
'Strange he's blocking me I thought that he wasn't that far yet.' I thought. I shrugged it off.
"Well, time to go. I'll see you again. I'm sure of that knowing them." Sally said.
"Yeah I guess. Thanks again for everything and I'm sorry about almost killing you." I said.
"Aw don't worry. Like I said you couldn't help it." Sally said and she gave me a hug. I panicked and pushed her away.
"Hey, what's wrong? Never had a hug before?" Sally asked.
"I haven't been hugged since my mother died. I'm just not used to people getting that close when I'm not wounded." I said looking away.
"Sorry, I keep forgetting that not all people like to get hugged." Sally said now shaking my hand. Just as I was about to get onboard of my shuttle Duo and Quatre walked up to me.
"Hey, guess this means goodbye then. We got ya a surprise inside the shuttle." Duo said pulling me into a hug before walking me to the shuttle. I wondered what was going on as Duo ushered me into the shuttle. When we entered a gun was suddenly pushed against my head by Heero and Quatre closed the shuttle door.
"What's going on here?" I asked.
"You've seen our base and now we wanna see yours." Duo said as he started the shuttle.
"We knew you'd never be able to let us come along so we came up with a plan and hijacked the shuttle." Quatre said softly. I could tell how much he hated having to do this.
"Now you're going to take us with you to your base or else we'll kill you." Heero said giving me a death-glare. I looked at each of them.
"And what if I take you all out and dump you back at your base." I asked calmly.
"Ya can't, see I put in a bomb and if you land anywhere or run out of fuel it goes of." Duo said grinning widely.
"So I don't need to land to throw you out and I can disable the bomb after taking you out." I said.
"I thought of that so we built our own bomb; you can't land or run out of fuel, you can't have the shuttle hover in the air, you can't disable it with out it going of and you can't remove it either. Only we know how to disable each mechanism. Of course you could try and use your empath abilities but even then it'll take you at least 5 hours to do so and you don't have that kind of time. It goes of in one hour and fifteen minutes unless you do as we say." Duo said. I sighed. It's true I'm good, but even with my abilities it would take about two hours to get all the info I need and then I haven't disabled the bomb yet.
"Okay ,you win. You guys are nuts. There's no way even you can dismantle such a thing at within an hour." I muttered angrily.
"Who ever said we had to dismantle it? We'll disable it as soon as we near the base." Duo said smirking
50 minutes later we neared the base. Duo pulled out a device and pushed the button Quatre and Heero followed his example. Than Wufei opened the hatch that lead to the engine and he pulled something out. When he did so he got up and Trowa disabled the last mechanism and removed the bomb.
"Give me the bomb." I said.
"Why?" Duo asked.
"Because I'll kill you if you don't or I'll bring you back after all." I said. Duo opened his mouth, but couldn't find anything to say and he closed it again as he turned to Heero who nodded. Trowa handed me the bomb and I took a seat behind the controls
"This is Tiger calling base control. Come in base control." I said putting on my headset
"This is base control ,welcome back tiger you can land on runway three." a voice said calmly.
"Copy that base control. I have a problem and I need to talk to D." I said glaring at the guys.
"I'm listening." D said.
"I've got stowaways." I answered.
"WHAT. Land that shuttle and lock them up!" D yelled.
'Oh ,great. Now I'll get it.' I thought.
"I can't lock them up they have control of the shuttle." I countered.
"Damn it! I've trained you to be able to handle this!" D yelled angrily.
"There's a bomb with 5 different mechanisms. I don't know which ones and it takes to long to pry it out of them. I don't know about you, but I don't have a death-wish!" I said calmly.
"Just land the blasted thing and get your ass in my office right NOW!" D roared furiously.
"This is not good." I said as I descended the shuttle on runway three.
"He didn't sound to happy about all this." Trowa said.
"I know, there's gonna be hell to pay for me." I sighed.
Then the shuttle landed and we left it. When we got outside D. was already waiting for us. He walked up to me and the boys.
"Take them to their temporary quarter." he said to the soldiers behind him.
"As for you, you'll be send to section 14!" he yelled as he walked away. I followed him and the boys to the base entrance. Suddenly D. turned around and hit me in the face. A red mark appeared on my cheek and some blood trickled out of the corner of my mouth. I wanted to kill him, but remained silent and entered the base.
Boys POV Quatre telling.
We were walking into their base, when their boss suddenly turned to Chao-Tse and hit her in the face. I could feel her pain. She was furious, I could tell she felt like killing him. I knew he did this more often. When he told her that she should go to section 14 I could have sworn I heard some people gasp. Whatever that section 14 was Chao-Tse was a little scared of it.
After about fourteen minutes we walked into a hallway with two doors. One of those doors said 'section 14' . Across from that door was another and while Chao-Tse entered section fourteen we were taken down the other and shoved into what looked like a lounge room at the end of it and even though I wasn't there I could feel Chao-Tse's pain; I could hear her scream in my head. It's at times like these that I wish I didn't have empath abilities. At these moments my 'spaceheart' as I call it feels such pain and fear that I wish I were unconscious just so I don't have to feel it anymore. Trowa sat down next to me and put an arm around me.
"I try to block it Trowa, but I can't. I can block the pain. She's screaming Trowa. I hear her in my head." I said as I put my hands in front of my face.
"You must be getting stronger, Quatre." Trowa said. I looked up.
"You say you can hear her scream. Maybe your abilities, you spaceheart is getting stronger." he explained.
"I know, but it hurts so bad and I just can't block it." I said. Suddenly I couldn't feel it anymore.
'They must have stopped…or worse.' I thought.
End boys POV Quatre telling
D. and I walked into 14 and he ordered me to take of my clothes. I took of the uniform and my boots. Than I turned to him standing in front of him, in my underwear.
"Tie her down and punish her. 500 beats with the whip. " He said. Then he left as the two soldiers started my punishment. While one of them beat me with the whip the other counted.
"1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14……………………………..179.180.181.182.183.184.185.186.187.188." he counted along with the steady beating on my back. I tried with all my might not to yell out, but when they reached 189 I couldn't take it anymore. I screamed out in pain. Knowing that Quatre could feel my pain I prayed that it wouldn't effect him to much as I know from experience what that can do to you. With every beat I felt the pain burning in my skin, but after 215 beats my back became numb and I couldn't feel the pain anymore. I had brought myself in a self-induced coma and woke up again some three hours later.
I lay in my bed fully dressed and Quatre sat next to me on the edge of the bed. Trowa and Wufei stood against the wall on either side of the door and Duo and Heero sat on the chairs at my bedroom table.
"Hey, how do you feel." Quatre asked softly. I could see he had been crying.
"Fine, I've had worse." I said with a smile.
"Yeah right what can be worse than 500 whip-beats, huh?" Duo asked.
"1200 whip-beats. That's about the most I've had to endure." I said dryly.
"What did you do then? Try to take over the base?" Duo asked staring at me in disbelieve.
"Actually I ran away and stole some very important files. Now I've got to go. I've got a lot of work to catch up with. Computer make a schedule of all the things I've got to do and include the tasks missed during my leave of absence and print it out and send the doctor my new health report." I said sternly
"Printing schedule now. Welcome back miss Lee should I have a hot chocolate be brought to your office when you get there?" the computer answered.
"Yes please. Oh and computer please let bear know I'm back." I said.
"Yes madam." the computer said.
"What?" I asked when the boys stared at me in surprise.
"It talks?" Wufei finally managed to say.
"And it makes drinks?" Duo added.
"How does it work?" Heero asked matter-of-factly.
"Our main computer can be reached from any spot in the base. It's voice activated and has been programmed with a social contact program. It learns about our daily habits: what we eat or drink or do and even specific preferences. Such as my love for hot chocolate, my usual meditation surroundings and other things. Everything works from our main computer, but we do have kitchen staff that does the cooking around here and brings what we request to the place where it's asked to be brought." I explained as the boys listened on their eyes getting bigger and bigger in amazement.
"It runs the entire base and works on it's own energy supply. It also keeps track of all personnel as well as all newcomers and visitors. It keeps a detailed base journal as well as the personal logs of all who work here and last of all it keeps complete records of training schedules, health statistics and other things on each member of the base personnel." I ended.
"Amazing." Quatre said.
"Yeah, but what if someone decides to hack into your main computer?" Duo asked.
"That's a good question, but the answer is simple they can't hack in the computer. It has gained so much personality that it is impossible to hack it without it starting the emergency shutdown." I answered.
"Only Doc D. and myself know the way to shut it down, but it takes two people to do it and they'd have to do it simultaneously down to a 1000th of a second. If it's only a 1000th of a second off it'll self-destruct. Besides you need fingerprint and eye testing to prove you are authorized to get in the level 9 files and base-system-controls." I said.
"Man that's tight security if I've ever seen it." Duo said.
"Well it was made gundam pilot proof." I joked.
"Now I've got to go and show the big bad doctors that I'm in good health and get my shots. . and you're gonna come along for now. That is if you want to see the base." I said as I walked out. The guys followed quietly. We walked to the elevator and entered it.
"Medical wing level 3A." I said and the elevator started to descend. (yes descend ,the base has it's important facilities in the bottom parts of the base.) Once we reached our destination Duo started to look a bit worried.
