A/n: at last we are back to Duo's pov. Well for a few lines any way! Last chapter wasn't so bad, but I've just realized that this story has the shortest chapters out of all my stories! Go figure. And since there seems to be a time crisis with my plot here, here's the scheme. Morning/noon/a little of early evening- Heero-leaves and gathers very little info. Finds and stakes out bar place /Duo rushes after Heero. Early evening/Night- every thing after this point. KK!
Chapter 6
Duo tightened his stiff collar and cast an eye to the ceiling thoughtfully. He wasn't going to school that day, hell no. Not if Hee-chan was on a mission with out him! Duo thought of how much he loved missions and was sure as hell not going to miss a chance to annoy, ahem I mean, help his favorite roomy. Buisily buzzing around the house Duo set about to shoving useful thing into a bag.
Hee-chan gets all the fun! Duo thought with a smile. Slowing his furious pace for a few seconds, the braided man stopped to reflect on what he might be getting himself into. His attention span only lasted a few seconds.
"I'll be sure to ask Heero when I catch up to him!" Duo said to himself dismissing the thought. "Boy it's a good thing I bugged Heero's bag awhile ago. With some luck he won't find it!" Then he rushed out of the lonely house to a day of Heero chasing!
Unluckily for the outgoing pilot Heero did find it, hours latter. Heero had spent all day checking different things and building lay outs. He rubbed a hand over his eyes for a moment that went digging into his bag for his trusty laptop. Spying a small object about the size of a quarter Heero glowered.
"What is this?! DUO! Don't you even think about following me!" He exclaimed to the open area. " you don't know what the fuck your getting into this time!" With practiced skill Heero detached the bug from the bag bottom and crushed the object.
"Luckily for me. This last point looks like a dead end." The blue-eyed warrior said as he let the pieces fall from his hand. It was true that the place where Heero stood looked very much like an ally, But checking his information Heero was assured that it opened some where. A tanned hand expertly slid over the surface, finding every crevice and crack. Fingers gliding over the rough surface Heero studied the wall.
"That's it." Heero stated as he spotted a spot that seemed to stick out irregularly. "It's a switch." With a flick of the Japanese fingers a door way was opened.
pitiful the perfect soldier thought as he quietly entered the structure, and descended a flight of stairs. Coming to a hall way Heero stealthily slipped from shadow to shadow as he checked rooms. Creeping past what seemed to be the main rooms Heero heard the creaking of a door. From down the hall was a pair of voices. Pressing against a wall Heero almost silenced his breathing to listen to the conversation.
"Be sure to freeze the viral particles before you leave. I don't want them left out to spread, yet"
"Indeed. It seems the Virola has taken to the new DNA we spliced into it"
"With any luck it will speed up the rate of infection to under 24 hours. It did look like the capsule cells had grown! Haha! I truly am a genius!" Heero let his breath out as the voices faded. His face was a deep shade of red and hair on his neck stood up in anger.
How could they!?! Don't they know what Viruses do to people?! How it scars the survivors! Calming himself, Heero darted to the area he had heard the voices and noticed a faded sign on one of the doors. Glancing around Heero assessed the security device. It was a simple number lock. Allowing his fingers to fly over the pad repeatedly Heero figured out the right combination and rushed into the room.
Bingo
The room was stuffed full of lab equipment and smelled distinctly of cleaning agents. Setting about to the task of finding the right vile, Heero started to lift different test tubes and look at different labels oblivious to the watchful eye of the doctor.
"Where are my worthless sons when I need them?" He asked to himself then yelled at the posted guard "Take care of the intruder"
As the hired goon left the room Dr. Brown's petite daughter walked into the room curios. She was a young girl of about 16, hardly old enough for the good doctor to let her in on his workings.
"What is the matter father? Work stressing you out again?" she asked lovingly as she kissed his cheek. Affectionately patting her head he replied, "It's nothing to worry about." She smiled and pushed back a strand of short blonde hair. "Okay then. We'll I'm going to take a shower then." She said then she cast an eye over her father's desk. "father...I'm sure you can turn the monitors off for now. No one is in the student labs at this time of night."
Dr. Brown Smiled and flicked a switch. "Your quite right, my dear. The students have all gone home." As his young daughter walked out of the room the doctor sighed and left the monitor off.
"Security can handle this. Just wait until this project is over, then I will really retire from doing OZ research..." He held his head and let out a low laugh "then again, half of the population will be dead, and then I'll really be able to rest!"
