Chapter 2
Heero was taking up an entire row of seats in order to get sleep. He had finished the sketch and had given it to the officer at the hospital. The fact that the man seemed really familiar was eating at him. What really bothered him though was that the man was looking for something.
"What the hell could he have been looking for?" He thought. "There shouldn't be anything there anyone would want besides the TV, stereo, and my laptop."
"Mr. Yuy?"
"Wait, what if it were someone from the war?" He seized on the thought. "At first Duo and I didn't know each other very well we got to know most of the people around us fairly well."
"Excuse me, Mr. Yuy?" The voice asked again.
Heero returned to reality. The man who had been calling his name was one of the doctors still wearing scrubs. He felt himself go cold inside.
"Yeah, do you have news on Duo yet Doctor?" He asked.
"Mr. Maxwell is out of surgery, but he is still in critical condition he is in ICU at the moment. He is still unconscious and he lost a lot of blood. We managed to stop the bleeding but there is still a chance he may not live though the night, however, if he does he has a very good chance of a full recovery. You can see him for a minute if you like, after this until he regains consciousness he is not to be disturbed. He needs to rest and recover."
Heero cringed inwardly. He nodded at the doctor and got up to follow him. They walked through a number of doors before walking into the room Duo had been given. He walked up to him and almost wept. Duo was hooked up to a machine that was helping him breathe and the monitoring systems beeped painfully slow.
"What was the extent of his injuries?" He asked the doctor.
"His most serious injury was what appeared to be the first and second bullets. They lacerated his pulmonary artery and collapsed his lung. We had to put a tube in to help him breathe. Those two injuries were where he lost the most blood. The last bullet shattered his clavicle. He is too weak to breathe on his own, which is why he is still hooked up to the machine."
BEEP BEEP BEEP.
"Sorry, we need to leave him now, I just got another call. If you leave your name and a number we can reach you at we will call you the moment he regains consciousness." The doctor said putting his beeper back in its holder.
"Yeah, sure." Heero said slightly distracted. He scribbled his name and number on a slip of paper and handed it to the doctor. The doctor took it and put it in his pocket and then walked out of the room.
Heero walked out of the room and sighed. He would be back at the hospital the first thing in the morning. His primary concern was to find out who did this and make them pay dearly, while keeping his promise.
"Whoever you are, I will find you, and when I do you will beg for me to kill you." He said softly as he walked out of the main doors of the hospital.
