Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing but I own a few characters in here. ^_^
Note: Thank you all for the reviews and comments! I'll think about it but this chapter popped up first. This is sort of a preliminary before they actually get to rescue Duo. We'll see with the next chapters. I'm currently writing it. I'm glad ffnet is back on line for updates. ^_^
Five Pilots and a Girl
By catnips_ph
CHAPTER NINE
It was what she has expected. They were keeping Duo in the basement, which was heavily guarded. She also noticed that most of the top brass officers of Oz were also there which made the rescue more difficult. What made it more difficult was the fact that it was only up to her and Heero to save Duo. The others were on a different mission. It's not that there were only 2 of them. Heero is the perfect soldier. But of all the pilots, she wasn't really very comfortable with him. She'd rather have Wufei or Trowa anytime.
Due to the heavy publicity of capturing a gundam pilot in the area, they have to stay in a cheap motel and have to stay in one room. All the others were occupied by media men. But the place they were staying provided a strategic location for it's only a stone's throw away from the gates of the base.
"What are you doing?" she asked over Heero's shoulder. He was seated in the floor of their room typing in his laptop.
He was silent ever since they left their hideout. "I'm trying to reach the main security control of the base."
"Hmm.. that would be really tough you know. You must understand that that would be the most secured of all."
She watched him as he continued to hack the security system of the base. She admired his determination and was really surprised that he was able to gain access. Maybe she had underestimated him a little.
She watched as Heero navigated the area. She was glad that nothing much was changed. It would be very difficult if that would be the case. At last the monitors changed. It showed Duo chained to the wall and badly beaten. She gasped. "Duo..." she breathed. A tear fell. She knew now was not the time to do that. She watched further as Heero navigated the entire area to know the twists and turns though she had already known each and every hidden passage therein.
Afterwards, he turned to her. "I want you to stay here and wait for our return."
"What?!!" she almost shouted.
"You are not ready to do combat," he said sternly.
"Duh Heero! I'm not going in there to combat okay? I have skills as a spy and not as a soldier," she pointed out.
"That's not the point," he said in a monotone voice. "You may be required to do that seeing that there are too many security personnel stationed at this moment."
Lizzy's perception told her that Heero intends to rescue Duo tonight. Clever. Anymore beatings and Duo will end up dead. But it was irritating to know that he was too hard headed and assumes too much that she will do anything that he says to her! The nerve. It took all the guts she could muster to prevent herself from telling him the truth. That would have been a slap on his face all right for she knows everything in that place without having to hack security.
"But I've been inside that base Heero. Please be reasonable. You need me and you know it!"
He remained silent.
A thought formed in her mind. "Very well," she said. She sighed. "Have it your own way Yuy but remember this, you are making the biggest mistake in your life here pal and I would love to shove it right back to your face if it weren't for Duo!"
With that she walked away and went to the windows. The sun was already setting. A few hours from now and the real action starts. Her first rescue mission and she was stuck with a jerk! But she had the thought of following him to the base.
She turned to him and was surprised that he was looking - no, more like staring at her. She frowned a little. "Anything wrong?" she asked. He gazed away. What was that all about? Then she smiled a little. "What's the matter, have you changed your mind already? You've realized that I'm not really a little girl but I can actually help you in there?" Feeling better, she stepped closer to him and actually crouched down to his level. He was fixing their equipment and laptop. No doubt he intends to place them on the secret door he found out a while ago in that room. "Well?" she taunted.
Suddenly, he looked at her face to face such that she could feel his breath on her face. "Shut up Lizzy. You're worst than Duo." Though his tone hasn't changed, she still felt the hostility in his actions.
"And what does that suppose to mean?" she challenged. She felt weird actually looking at his face only inches from her. To actually see his Prussian eyes. It sent chills down her spine.
"You are too loud and obnoxious. Not to mention very childish. This is not a child's game Lizzy. This is different from what you may see on TV and read from books. This is real life."
"I'm not a girl anymore Heero! Can't you see that? I am a very responsible and mature person. Why do you think Dr. Reeds trusted me on this mission? You know what your problem is Heero? You don't trust anybody. Only yourself! You don't care about anybody but only your damn missions!"
She stood up and sat down on the bed. She watched as he placed the equipment inside the secret door and went out of the room.
She sighed and lay on the bed with her arms crossed under her head. She already thought of a way to go inside the base without a hitch. She could even tell it to Heero but he would be very suspicious. Damn, she really has to left him believe that she is willing to stay behind.
I need a shower!, she though out loud. A shower always makes her feel good. She needs to be refreshed and fully charged when the real action begins. Damn, maybe she is being childish and too unrealistic about this mission. But then she has faced death before. She knew what it's like to actually lose someone.
Grabbing her things, she went to the bathroom.
Just as she was about to finish, she heard the door of the room opened. Hmm, he's back already. Just to be sure, she went out of the shower and peeked from the bathroom door. Sure enough, it was Heero all right. He was carrying some type of groceries. Food, she thought. How thoughtful of him, she said sarcastically. Seeing him take his shirt off, she went back to the shower. She has seen them with their shirts off. But the first time was like a shock to her. She wasn't used to shirtless boys until she met the gundam pilots. It made her feel a bit uneasy and made her more conscious as a girl.
Then suddenly, she heard shouting at the nearby room. From the last time she checked, there were only 2 occupied rooms in that floor and the other one was right beside them. Suddenly, gunshots were heard. Just as she was about to step out of the shower and grab a towel, Heero came busting inside the shower room. Much to her disbelief!
He put his palm over her mouth to prevent her from screaming probably. He grabbed her and stayed behind the bathroom door. Leaving it a few inches open so that he could see what is going on inside the room.
Lizzy was dumbfounded. Here she was stark naked with a perfect soldier gagging her mouth. What surprised her even more was that she could feel his skin on her since he had pressed his body on her. She knew that it was more likely to put her in her place. But it was very embarrassing! Good thing he was only topless. She kept her hands on Heero's body to prevent him from pressing into her but it seems he wasn't aware of the situation they were in. In fact, he pinned her more to the wall when the door burst open.
From what she could hear, there were about three to four men who entered their room and ransacked it. Beds, table and chairs were upturned.
"Shit!" one of the men said. "It isn't here either."
"Keep searching. They could just be in here somewhere." Another one of them said.
"Strange, the tracking device points to this area but it's impossible considering the lines are cutoff in this place."
Shit! Lizzy thought. They were tracked down. Probably when they hacked the main security system of Oz. So Heero wasn't that perfect. He lost this time. But she couldn't feel victorious at this moment.
She then felt one of his arms around her waist pushing her to him. He whispered in her ear that caused goosebumps to spread all over her. "Don't make any noise or I'll kill you."
Then she felt him take his gun. Shit! She thought. The men were probably going to inspect the bathroom now. She stifled a gasp to prevent any noise. Unfortunately, Heero heard her causing him to squeeze her more signaling her to remain quiet. She then decided to place her arms around him and her mouth on the crook of Heero's neck. She heard him held his breath. Probably because the men were getting closer, she thought.
Considering their closeness, she thinks she could also feel his heartbeat. What surprised her was that his heartbeat matched her own. Could it be that the perfect soldier is also anxious of what might happen to them?
Then she felt his heartbeat slowed down. Good! She thought. It could probably mean that the Oz soldiers are leaving. He moved a little to close further the bathroom door. In doing so, Lizzy felt her nipples hardened due to the friction of their bodies much to her surprise. She hasn't felt anything like this before in her entire life. What is happening to her? The feeling was very pleasant and scary at the same time. It made her so confuse of herself. Just then, she looked up to Heero's face and was shocked when he was actually looking at her. Did he felt - does he know... Damn, it wasn't the right time to be feeling like this she knew. Some men are out to kill them and here they were.. here they were staring at each other like crazy. Maybe at least on her part. She felt her blood rushed to her head. She might be terribly blushing at the moment!
"Wh-what's wrong?" she asked in a hushed tone. She saw his Prussian eyes turned to a darker shade that sent chills down her spine. She knew she has to get out of his touch. Just then, she felt his hand on one of her breast. She gasped.
Suddenly, he swooped down and kissed her hard on her still open mouth. As he continued to invade her mouth, she felt his hand rubbing her left breast and pulling at the nipple causing her to stifle a moan. Her moans died in his mouth as he continued to ravage her with his tongue.
After some time, he let go and very quietly whispered in her ear, "I told you not to make any sound. Do that again and I will punish you with something both you and I may regret later."
She looked at him straight in the eye. The nerve of him to do this to her! She made a mental note to make him pay later. She continued to glare at him but he only smirked and he looked back at the room. All of the sudden not interested in her which only made her fume. She felt being treated like an object! What a jerk!
Much to her relief, the men left but not after setting the place on fire. Heero quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her. After they left, they managed to get out thru the fire exit. Lizzy was surprised that somehow Heero had managed to grab some clothes on the way. Down at the dark alley, she dressed up with some man's clothing. Though the jeans were fit, the shirt was very loose. She had to tuck it in.
She then realized that all of their equipment is inside that apartment. She could hear sirens all over the place.
"What do we do now?" she asked him suddenly. He was in a pensive mood. He merely looked at her and started to walk away. "Okay, lead the way your Highness!" she said icily.
While following him, she tried to think of ways on how to save Duo considering all of their ammo are gone. It would be very tough that's for sure. She then wondered if Heero has another back-up plan. He has got to have one!
They went to a tower. Probably the safest place where they can talk and plan on their mission. It was nighttime already.
"Do you know where we can get some supplies?" Heero asked.
By supplies he meant ammo. She thought about it and replied, "Yes. But it's inside the base. I know a way on how to get inside them and steal some of what we need." She was hoping he would get her bait. She has to make him take her in this mission. He must. Though he doesn't know it, she knows that he needs her. She can't afford to let two pilots be taken in or worst killed!
Heero was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at her and slightly bowed his head. Lizzy was ecstatic. It meant he had conceded. Yes! She was in! Then Lizzy talked of her plans earlier. Though Heero doesn't show it, she knew that she had somehow gained his respect since she knew too much about the base. Even if from time to time he would say that the area is under heavy security, she would counter by answering she knows some passwords. Heero made it their pact that she should stick with him which somehow made her feel safe. She doesn't know why but she did felt safe if Heero will be with her all the way.
Then suddenly she realized. Looks like she is the back-up plan of Heero after all. ^_^
