Kidnapped

Mission Accepted.

He had said those words that brought a twisted grin to the company's manager. Heero felt sick at the sight but he bit his tongue as he looked at the girl, looking at him with wide eyes that screamed of fear and horror. She was on the right hand side of the man who was patting her head like a dog.

He felt sick at the thought and forced himself to walk away without breaking the man's neck and causing the little girl pain.

Heero pulled his thermal protected gloved on over his hands. They would protect him from the frostbite on the mountain that had claimed so many lives of those who didn't have the skill to climb.

People would think, 'Oh it wouldn't take much to climb a puny mountain like that in this era,' Which in truth wasn't true. Due to the earth's constant moving with the whole tectonic plate's idea, the mountain had been growing and still was.

He shrugged on his black mountain coat that would also protect him and grabbed the goggles on the table that were also jet black. He grabbed his hat and threw it on over his head, goggles coming shortly after.

He rolled his shoulder slightly, hearing a small pop from them as he flexed his body, already adjusted to the extra fifty pounds or so added with all his supplies, which he wouldn't have to carry. All he had to worry about was his mountain supplies and the snowboard. The Sherpa's would take care of the other supplies like the camping materials and such.

Dr. Dasnic walked into the room, wearing a black and yellow ensemble. She nodded in Heero's direction as she grabbed her medical supply bag. She turned to look at him. "Make sure that you slowly climb the mountain, this isn't the world's fastest climb." She commanded. "I can't have you getting altitude sickness and be sent back to base camp. Also if you try and commit suicide on any of these trips purposely, the commander said that he'd torture the girl."

"Don't you have any conscience?" He snorted she he laced up his boots and placed a knife between the layers of cloth so that the metal wouldn't stick to anything when they got to the freezing temperatures.

Dasnic stopped what she was doing and turned to stare at the boy who ignored her. 'He's trying to get under my skin.' She commanded herself. But deep down, she couldn't deny it; she had one and couldn't believe they were threatening an innocent little girl.

She almost felt sorry for the ex-soldier. Heero got up, grabbed his duffel bag and walked off, Dasnic following behind. The collar had been switched to metal for this mission; they couldn't have it stick to his neck, neh?

There it was; the shuttle that would take them off to Nepal and then they would begin the assent.
