Notes and Disclaimers: I don't own GW, how many more times must I say that? Oh well…I own the Saisos anyway.

Chapter 7

Rose unlocked the next two locks, but when there was still one remaining, her choker gave off strong electric currents and she collapsed onto the slab, writhing in pain. Unknowingly the currents traveled through the metal and gave Duo a dose of what she was going through. But when his breath hissed through his teeth and he gave a sound of pain, Rose realized what was happening and rolled away from him. She managed to stay away from anything else metal and lay on the floor while she was engulfed by the energy currents. It lasted for a few minutes and when it finally finished she lay gasping for breath. While still reclaiming her breath she slowly rose on all fours and then to her knees. She picked the keys up from the ground and returned to her task.

"Are you alright?" Quatre asked timidly.

"Well, they didn't kill me yet, so I guess I am." She tried for a light tone, but couldn't manage with a voice that cracked.

"That's what happened when…" Duo trailed off, closing his mouth. He was beyond angered by what Rose had done, but deep within his heart he still loved her.

"Yes." She replied simply, "Remember to save my brother. He is all that is left of my family."

"We will." Quatre promised in a whisper.

Rose finished getting Duo free and then moved on to Quatre. As she moved on to Wufei, Duo and Quatre were supporting Trowa between them and they had reclaimed their weapons. When Wufei was free and reclaiming his weapons Rose tossed the keys on the ground and said, "His name is Tesuki and he's through the door on the far right and down two doors. I'm not sure if he knows about our parents, but…" she trailed off.

"We'll keep him safe and when you come to get him you can tell him then." Quatre said softly.

Rose wasn't so sure she would be going back. She had told them her life was forfeit and they knew it too. But something had to be said to keep hopes up for her. Rose felt her pockets and then remembered,

"Oh! I almost forgot." She reached into her pocket and drew out all the sets of keys she had. "I have your keys." She gave Quatre his and Trowa's. She threw Wufei's to him and then quickly dropped her own into Duo's hand. "My car is outside. Quatre and Wufei's are at the Saiso Karate building and Trowa's is still at the warehouse on Aster Way. Use my car to escape." She said.

Then they heard a commotion upstairs.

"Get my brother and get out of here!" Rose yelled. They didn't have to be told twice. They left as quickly as they could and Rose sank to her knees and then sat on the floor.

Ten minutes later Rose was still in the chamber when five soldiers entered it. They stopped dead still when they found their prisoners gone and just the girl that had captured them in the first place sitting on the floor, with the keys to the shackle locks near her.

"Why you little bitch," One of them snarled as they stepped towards her. She tilted her head back to look up at them, but she refused to rise for them. She wasn't going to make it easy for them. They surrounded her in a matter of seconds and the collar went off again. Not risking joining her in her electric torment, the soldiers watched but when it ceased, they started their own tormenting. Rose was only aware when the physical torment ever ended and the electric started again. And she only remembered that she would hurt like hell when and if she ever woke up after they were through.

Note: sorry that was short, but it ended there for that part. It'll get better, don't worry. I am too much a romantic to have an unhappy ending.
