Chapter 4
Downtown New Port City – New Port City, Sanc Kingdom
Tim's head was swimming. After climbing out the window of the hospital that he was in, he was still having a hard time believing that any of this was real. He had regained consciousness after being shot in a general hospital room, or as far as he could hear, as he woke with the same routine he always awoke with listening for any movement and taken in what his other senses could tell him. After a while, several people came into the room, one of which was the doctor and was explaining that he was sedated and in a medicine induced coma, and after checking his vitals, left the room. The other people, had quietly begun talking, never realizing the Tim was listening to their conversation because the meds that were supposed to sedate him were a neurotoxin derivative, and being from the southwest and loving the outdoors, Tim had more than his share of encounters of the painful kind and as a result ha developed a serious immunity to toxins.
One person, a gentleman with a British accent, was explaining to several people the contents of a sports bag that was as he listened, was for him when he awoke. As he continued to listen, he began to formulate a plan of escape and just had to wait for everyone to leave. The people soon left, leaving the bag on a nearby table. As they were leaving, the doctor came back on his rounds and again checked Tim's vital signs, not noticing the increase in brain activity. He left and said he would be back in abut fifteen minutes to someone outside the door, which meant the room was guarded, but Tim's plan had nothing to do with the door.
Once the door was closed and locked, Tim sprang into action. Quietly shutting of the monitoring machinery, he quickly got dressed in the cloths that the person had left and he immediately checked the equipment. He went to the window, and used the laser in the watch to cut the lock on it and opened it. Seeing he was a couple of stories off the ground, Tim immediately put the grappling hook on the watch into the wall and climbed out the window and too the ground. Knowing he had about 15 minutes, he had to leave the area and decided he would get some new cloths, as that any pursuit would be looking for someone with his style of dress.
Luck shined on him as there were several clothing stores in the immediate vicinity of his location. Choosing one, he gave the " Black-Hole" credit card a good work out as he purchased new T-shirt and jeans, a new pair of combat boots, a sports jacket, hat and a new pair of glasses, which had smart lenses that would darken in light, all in abut 10 minutes. He then took a cab to a local library where he changed into his new clothing, ditching the old in a needy children's dumpster and went in the library to look up his location. He sat himself in the research section as he spent the next several minutes researching, his sense of dread began to increase, and when he was done; he could only come to one conclusion: he had been sent to a Gundam Wing themed Purgatory.
'Yes that has to be it, it is the only explanation,' he thought. Leaving the library with this new information, he began to notice a growl beginning to grow in volume from his stomach, so he began to look for a safe place to eat.
News of his disappearance had reached the Gundam team and they were now scouring the city trying to find him before anything drastic could occur. Separating into teams, Mathew and Relena were in Matthew's Skyline while the others, with their significant other of course were searching other sections of the city.
"I can't believe someone could just walk out of a hospital like that," said Relena.
"Well, he didn't exactly waltz right out the front door either, he sort of crawled out," Matt added. "This proves Q was right about him; he is unpredictable."
After he said this, Relena's cell phone began to ring. She answered it and turned to Matt.
"He's been spotted him downtown and Dorothy is following him! We need to hurry!" she said in a hurried tone. As the car turned to head downtown, Matt turned to Relena and said, "Why the big hurry? Dorothy could follow anyone and not lose them."
Relena replied, "He just bought a Viper."
After eating at a nearby fast-food joint, Tim spotted a car dealership, and feeling a bit lucky, decided to see what they had to offer. He discovered that the selection had a number of American spots cars, and a blue Dodge Viper GTS/R Concept Car was just begging him to buy it, so he did, with the card of course, all the while hoping what the people in the room had said was true. He was pleased to discover that when asked for his license, that his insurance information was stored on a smart chip in the license and that he had full coverage, so he was in and out of the dealership in less than half an hour. It was then he noticed he had an admirer. He spotted her giving him detailed exams from about two stores down before she turned and pulled a cell from her purse. The blonde, who Tim thought looked like Dorothy Catalonia, had probably called in for reinforcements which would be there any minute. Pull into traffic, Tim began to head out of the city when he noticed a red Skyline with two people in it, a man and a woman, pull into traffic a couple of cars behind him. As he watched, a BMW Z24, a Honda Accord, a Kawasaki speed bike, and a Harley pulled up behind him as well. Then when a Black H2 in the opposite lane did a 180 U-turn and pulled in with the rest, Tim decided to loose their tails and stepped on the accelerator.
Highway 285 – Outside New Port City, Sanc Kingdom
When Matt spotted the Viper pulling away from them, he realized that they weren't trying to be unobvious about the fact that they were following them so his trying to elude pursuit was not totally unexpected.
"There, that's where we'll catch him," he said as he pointed to a dash mounted GPS unit that was showing traffic conditions down along the highway.
"Yes, with all the traffic he will slow down and hopefully we can catch him," Relena replied hopefully.
Tim, who also spotted the congestion on the GPS receiver of his own, saw a stretch of freeway that branched off the main highway. While just two lanes, it had a straight stretch that was almost two miles, and there he decided to use the NOS. Yeah the Viper had NOS, which had pleasantly surprised him after he began to inspect the car back on the lot. Seeing the turn coming up he decelerated and swiftly turned the car onto the straight, and after getting straightened out, slapped the switch for the NOS and holding on for dear life.
When Matt and Relena turned the corner, they found themselves eating Tim's dust.
"So, that's how he wants to play," Matt mused as he punched the NOS switch in his car, sending it screaming after the Viper.
Relena, after receiving another call on her cell phone, turned to Matt and said, "No need to catch him. My brother has a 'surprise' in store for him."
At that moment, the form of the Tallgeese III passed overhead and in front of Tim's fleeing Viper. The mobile suit swooped down upon the car and the results of the flyby were instantaneous. The car's brake lights flared to life as the car skidded into a wicked flat spin and coming to rest in a nearby ditch. As they approached, they saw Tim leap out of the immobilized Viper and pull his PPK, then they saw him look at his situation as the rest of the Gundam team caught up with them and he looked behind him, seeing the Tallgeese was not a figment of his imagination. He discharged the magazine from the weapon, threw it away from him, discharged the one bullet in the chamber, got on his knees, and laced his finger behind his head.
When they approached, they heard Tim say, "Ya got me. I don't know what you want with me but you got me."
Matt replied, "You can put your hands down and get up. Like I said, we're on the same side."
A look of recognition passed over Tim's stunned face as he put two and two together. "Hey, you're the dude whose bullet I caught, right?"
"Yes I am. I was hoping to thank you sooner, but you had already taken your leave of our accommodations, but I owe you one," Matt replied. "But now we need to get moving, so could you retrieve your stuff from your car because we need to go. The Preventers will take care of your car and sorts."
Tim retrieved his gun and equipment from the car and climbed into the H2, since the Skyline was only had 2 seats. Then they all drove to a small private airport and boarded a jet that would take them to Myth Island.
During the trip, Matt laid everything down for Tim: Osama, Saddam, the Olympics, the Gundams, Mariemaia, the works. Then, for some odd reason, he went a bit off subject, talking about his engagement with Relena.
"So where are we going now?" Tim asked Matt, speaking for the first time since boarding.
"Myth Island, the place where we train and store our Gundams. There, we will reveal the true reason you are here, and where you will receive your Gundam," Matt said to him.
"MY Gundam?" Tim said, astonished.
"Yes, yours. Gundam Janus, I think it's called," Matt explained.
Trowa, who was piloting, announced that they were about to land on Myth Island.
Tim, who was deep in thought, gave the announcement little heed. 'This has to be a dream, it's gotta be,' he kept thinking as the plane began to descend to Myth Island.
