Hectic Love: Chapter 5
By Nyteness
A sharp gasp from Cagalli brought Kira back from his thoughts. "Look!" She held up a black cloth and embroidered on it was the word: "ZAFT"
"ZAFT," Athrun breathed. His ex-father, Patrick Zala owned the company. He had a grudge against Kira because most of Freedom Inc.'s clients transferred from ZAFT. Plus, he HATED Lacus' father because A) he took Athrun in and B) He was the past owner of ZAFT. It would be not unexpected for him to be behind this.
"Those Bastards." Kira growled. "Let's go,"
"Where?" Athrun asked, being a lawyer, he thought things through.
"I got it," Cagalli's amber eyes were scanning the back of the cloth she picked up. "Look at this," She flipped the cloth over and on the back over and looked at the scrawled chalk message on the back.
Midnight at the clock tower.
"It's 11 pm now." Athrun said slowly.
"We have an hour to find her," Kira muttered," but which tower is she at?"
"The PLANTS!" Cagalli shouted "If ZAFT is behind this, it's logical to think she'd be at the tower they donated to the city, right?"
"True... let's go!" Kira wanted to go and save her a lot right now, it was my fault in the first place, but Athrun interrupted him once again
"No wait, we'll need weapons because they're sure to be equipped," Athrun was logical
"I have my martial arts stuff in the car, I brought it along," Cagalli supplied.
"And I have a gun so we're ready." Kira looked dead serious.
"Then now let's go," And with that the trio ran downstairs to their cars.

11:30
"Oh my god!" Cagalli gasped in absolute shock. What looked like Lacus was dangling between the clock hands so that when the clock struck twelve, it would slice through the ropes holding her up and she would fall to her death.
"Those bastards!" Kira grabbed a grappling hook. "They'll pay!" Kira was about to lunge out of the car when Athrun put his hand on his shoulder.
"Stop Kira, we need a plan." Athrun said
"Alright...you're best with heights, Cagalli you can take out most of the guards, and I'll be our back up." Kira mapped out their plan.
"Gotcha. We had better leave the car out here," Cagalli intoned.

Athrun and Cagalli crept cautiously up the stairs. "Where do these stairs lead to?" Cagalli anxiously whispered. Kira was a corner away taking out any guards that were left there.
"The clock face." Athrun mumbled back, "If we can untie her and some how get her safely to the ground we should be fine. Watch my back." and with that just crept away.
"Stupid guy," Cagalli snorted annoyed but she crept after him anyways.
They crept carefully towards the stairs. Two guards were pacing at the entrance to the stairway.
"Hey Joe." Security guard number one called to his partner.
"What John?" The other guard looked pretty ticked.
"You know that Clyne girl up there?" So called Joe said with an air of plotting a conspiracy. "Apparently they brought her here to have some fun with her. That's not really Clyne at all. She's really behind the clock face, so that when that Kieran or whoever comes to save her, he'll collapse, because the ledge is weak and behind the clock face, his lady love will watch his demise."
Athrun couldn't stand it any longer, and sent a flying kick at the security guard, knocking him over
"Wha-!" John got knocked out by Cagalli's punch in his head.
"The plan has changed. Let's go," With a nod, the two were scurrying in the other direction. Kira stayed behind; there was something that just piqued his interest...
