Secrets A Maxwell Keeps

Chapter Four: Lies and suspicions

By: Shadow Starshooter

Duo slumped against his bed. It was weird having to go to classes. It was also boring him to death. He needed to get out. To just be free again. He turned his attention to the window. The leaves were begining to fall. The seasons are changing. He stood and walked over to the open window. It smells nice out there. Damn it! I never should have agreed to this.

The phone rang.

"Hello?" Duo mumbled into the revicer.

"We need to talk."

Duo froze. The voice was different but he knew it. His eyes narrowed. "Where?"

"Look out your window." He did. "See thesouth corner of north campus near the forest." Duo only nodded. He knew the caller was watching him. "Good. Be there in ten minutes."

"Right." The caller hung up.

Duo staired out the window for a little longer. He stopped someone in the shadows. Setting the phone back in place he pulled on his jacket. Duo stopped shot of opening the door. Something didn't feel right.Grabbing the doorknob he threw open the door.

Jenny Turner, Duo's roommate for the past month fell to the floor. Duo stepped back suprised She had been listening. I wonder did Oz catch on and.... He watched her moan and rubb her head. A smile crossed his face. No way. Jenny's not smart enough to trust with any thing impoerant.

"What were you doing?"

Jenny looked up at her roommate. The strange Donna Maxwell. "Nothing Donna. I was just looking for.....For my contact."

Duo laughed under his breath. Your such a bad liar. Both your eyes are still blue. Play clueless. "Really? Do you need any help?"

"No it's ok." Jenny stood up and brushed herself off. "You going somewhere?" She asked looking over Duo.

"Just for a walk." Then he left. Not giving her a chance to ask to come along.

Jenny watched Duo walk away from the dorm rooms. She wrinkled her nose. Damn, I hate the fall. Picking up the phone she dialed a number.

"Yes this is Jenny. Donna just left. Looks like she's heading towards North Campus." Hanging up Jenny turned and looked at her side of the room and wrinkled her nose again. God I hate pink. She turned towards Duo's stuff. Let's see what Donna has that she's not telling. Jenny began to look through Duo's things.

Duo stopped near the building and leaned against the wall. His head was dropped and his foot was propped against the wall. He tucked his hands in his pocket. A figure cloaked in shadows stood on the other side of the corner.

"How's it going?" The figure said.

"You know I hate being trapped in one spot."

"I have bad news."

"I'm listening." Duo watched as people walked by.

"I can't take back the life right now."

"What?" He jerked his head to the side then back towards the campus. "Why? The deal was two months.

"I have no clue what's going on. I just can't jump in mid mission. Also, I wanted to tell you that your roommate isn't what she seams."

"I figured as much. She's been searching though my stuff, anytime she's there alone. You promised I could leave in two months."

"I'm sorry but I had now idea of a mission of this importance comming up."

Duo pushed himself off the wall and sighed. He started to walk away. "Tell Hilde I said hi, will ya?"

"Sure."

"Later Maxwell." They said at the same time walking away from each other.

Jenny was having a fit. Donna has to be hiding something. Footsteps echoed though the empty halls. Jenny looked up then around the room was a mess.Damn!

Duo stopped short and listened though the door. He smiled. Jenny was tring to put everthing away quickly. Duo decided to tease her a little. He knocked on the door.

"Hey Jenny could you unlock the door. I forgot my key."

That gives me some more time. "Hold on Donna." Jenny yelled.

Duo took the key from his pocket. Spilling it in the keyhole he unlocked the door. "Hey look I found it." He said walking in.

Jenny dropped everything and dove on her bed. "Really that's so nice."

"I see you found your contact." Duo said with a knowing smile.

"My contact?" Jenny thought for a second. It finally hit her. "No I didn't I just got my extras untill I do."

"Oh so are your eyes naruraly blue or is that the color of the contacts."

"Well I...." Then it hit Jenny. Damn she knows I didin't loose my contact before. Then why did she play along?" Jenny smiled at Duo and laid down. "Better get some sleep. Have a latin class tomorrow."

"Yeah." Duo turned off the lights and laid down in his own bed.
