Kidnapped by Lost-Remembrance (Red Tail)

Chapter 11:

"I'm fine, really." Heero said, sitting up in an upright position as he rubbed his head and rolled his shoulder a little bit.

"Xtreme is going to continue the climb either way." Burton looked over at his charge and gave a small smile, "They're determined to get you to the top and back."

"You and Dasnic had another fight." Heero stated simply, throwing his feet over the bed with ease as he grabbed a shirt and pulled it over his gauze-wrapped chest.

Burton winced, "Damn Ex's." He muttered before looking at Heero once more, "Word travels pretty fast up here, even to invalids eh?"

"Ex-invalid." He got to his feet and pulled his boots on and got prepared to go out to the freezing temperatures outside.

"Yeah, well that's good to hear. X'll be glad to know that you're ready to go."

"After hearing Dasnic and you fight all the time, I happen to be glad also." Heero stopped what he was doing and looked up at Burton with an icy stare, "As long as you don't involve my friends or…"

"The little girl you'll do what we ask, even if it involves your life. So heroic, aren't you?" He got up and walked out with Heero behind him.

"Did you know the rope was cut?" Burton commented with a small glance to the teenager.

Heero glared back, "If I did do you think I would use it?" He retorted back with his death glare also.

"Geez," He raised his hands in defeat, "Nothing to get worked up about." Heero was silent for the rest of the 'trip' back to the Xtreme area on the mountain.

"I need to use the VID phone, is that okay?" Howard questioned, keeping his sherpa coat on since it was a bit chilly despite the sunny weather they had been lucky enough to be struck with.

"Why do you need it?" Dasnic questioned as she closed the window to her diagnosis for Heero and his treatment as well as some other statistics on him and his body performance. She grabbed some print out sheets she had gotten and looked back at the Sherpa requesting access to one of their communicators.

Howard fiddled with his mittens and managed to pull them off, sun glasses sliding down so he could look at her straight in the eye, "Family to contact, y'know?"

"The other's don't seem to need to do that." Dasnic pointed out with a frown, raising an eloquent eyebrow at the bold sherpa.

"Ah, yes." Howard thought for a short bit of an excuse, "But they don't have a irate German for a wife, now do they?" Inwardly, he winced at the reaction Hilde would have if she heard him say that.

"Fine." Dasnic shrugged, getting up from her spot and gathering all her belongings. She walked over to the sherpa and stopped in front of him. In a whispered tone, she said, "Just don't do or say anything stupid. If you tell any one the consequences won't be favored."

"What…?" Howard questioned in utter confusion but shrugged it off and saw her walk away and rushed over to the VID phone.

He typed in the Gundam pilot Duo Maxwell's number, pressing the connect button quickly as the call began to be transferred.

"'Ello?" A chirrup sounding voice was heard through the speakers, the video camera connecting almost instantly to show a youth with brunette hair tied back into a braid. "Howard!"

"Duo, listen up." This caught the pilot's attention and he instantly started listening, "There's a company called Xtreme and they're making Heero do all these crazy things to promote their company!"

"Okay…" Duo was a little dumbfound on how Howard managed to figure out so much but nodded with assurance. "We're on it How!"

The line was disconnected and Howard sighed with relief.

Behind the thin wall of plastic, Dasnic sighed heavily with sad eyes and glanced behind her to the unsuspecting Sherpa.

"I warned you…" She whispered.

Over in the small tents for sleeping, Burton leaned back as he made sure Heero was all right before he stopped in front of both the entrance and the exit.

A red light blinked on Heero's 'collar' and Heero frowned with confusion as he raised his fingers to touch the flashing light before jerking back in surprise. He fell to his knees and tried to rip the collar off as it sent electric jolts through his body.

Burton dashed forward, trying to turn off the collar with worry for the healing teen. "What the hell sent this thing off!"

Heero let out a muffled scream as Burton tried to hold him down and keep him calm despite the white-hot searing jolts of pain surging through his veins…

"Hold on!" He distantly heard Burton shout, still trying to over ride the command on the collar.

Heero's eyes widened suddenly, remembering something the CEO told him.

"Remember, if you or she tries anything, it'll mean pain for both of you. These collar's are linked together so if you don't want her, or yourself, to be in pain don't do anything stupid."

She was in pain…! He struggled to get up before a stronger bolt hit him far worse than the rest and he gasped in pain, cobalt eyes wide as he collapsed back onto the thermal bed rolls, consciousness fleeting from him.

Miles away, the sounds of a little girl screaming filled the nearly vacant rooms of Xtreme headquarters…
