Chapter 13 The Great Escape
"Heero!…….Heero!" Quatre nudged the sleeping boy with his elbow.
"Five more minutes." Heero rolled away from the blonde and snuggled his head deeper into the pillow.
"Heero get up! I have something important to tell you!"
" 'mmm fuck off….."
"Heero don't you make me get your ass up myself. Cuz' I have no problem dragging you out of this bed."
"What Quatre! I'm injured. Lemme alone. I need my rest."
"Heero, did you forget we have that meeting to go to!"
"Oh shit. How are we gonna get their. Duo will never let me out of here and he's sitting right outside the door."
"I have an idea okay. Put these on." He handed Heero a pair of black slacks and a white button down shirt. "Hurry up Heero. We'll be late."
Heero sat up slowly and pulled his IV's out with a soft hiss.
"Quatre get me some wraps. I don't wanna bleed on the shirt." Quatre pulled two ace bandages off a near by counter and wrapped Heero's wrist and knee. (they put IV's in the veins behind your knee, trust me I know this for a fact. It hurts like a mother) Heero slipped the pants and shirt on quickly and listened as Quatre explained the plan.
"Okay, there is an Exit at the end of the hallway. Since you can't walk yet I'm gonna put you into a wheelchair. I will tell Duo that you are hungry and really want something to eat. He'll go get it, and we'll slip out the door. I'll leave him a note so he doesn't get worried when he gets back." Heero nodded and slid himself into the wheelchair Quatre had placed next to his bed. Quatre scratched a quick note down on a napkin and laid it on Heero's pillow.
"You ready?" Quatre asked.
"Yup." He walked out into the hallway and stood in front of Duo.
"Hey Quat, is everything all right."
"Yeah it's great, but Heero is starving and I don't want to leave him alone. Do you think you could go get him something from the cafeteria?"
"Sure. I'll be right back." Quatre sighed as he watched Duo walk away. He walked back into the room and pushed Heero out into the hallway and down to the Exit.
"We have a half an hour before the meeting starts. Luckily we're already downtown." Quatre helped Heero into the car and folded the wheelchair into the back seat.
"Duo and Trowa are gonna kill us when they see we've left."
"Yeah I know." The two smiled and laughed as they pulled out of the parking lot.
Meanwhile
"Duo whistled happily as he stepped into Heero's room, tray in hand. Well it was in his hand. Now it was on the floor.
"Trowa!"
The brunette teen ran into the room a few moments later.
"What's the ma- Holy shit where is Heero? And Quatre?"
"Look there's a note." Duo picked it up and read it aloud.
I have Heero. Don't come after us.
(Quatre isn't very bright when it comes to leaving comforting messages.)
"Oh my god, Trowa! Solo must have Heero!"
"Don't worry we'll find him. Let's go."
Duo and Trowa raced into the parking lot and speed off down the street.
Back to Heero and Quatre
Quatre pulled the car into the Corporate Parking Lot and helped Heero out into his wheelchair.
"How much time do we have?" Heero asked.
"About 20 minutes. But we still have to get to floor 37." Heero groaned.
"Hey, you have no right to complain. You're getting pushed the whole way."
"Sorry."
Quatre smiled and pushed Heero over to the front doors.
"Are you nervous?"
"Not really," Heero answered. In truth he was. This was nothing like his business classes. This was the real thing.
They entered the elevator and Heero pressed the button labeled 37.
"This is gonna take forever," Quatre whined.
"Yeah, and the music sucks." (I hate elevator music)
Around 7 minutes later they arrived at floor 37. Most of the members of the board where already there. Quatre wheeled Heero into the room and they chose the seats at the head of table. They had their names on them so it was an obvious choice.
"Quatre, Heero! Great to see you both." Fred shook their hands and looked down at Heero curiously.
"What happened my dear boy?"
"He got mugged last night," Quatre answered for him.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry that happened. If you need anything just let me know." Heero smiled and nodded. Fred bowed and walked to the entrance of the room. He cleared his throat loudly.
"Would everyone please take their seats. The meeting shall begin." The men in the room walked to their respective seats and sat down.
"Our first order of business is……"
Back with Duo and Trowa
"Where could he be?" Duo cried. (he's not really crying, its more like a desperate wailing thing, yeah that's it….he's not a crier)
"Duo calm down, we'll find him." Trowa was trying to comfort his friend, but truth be told he was extremely worried. The fact that their blonde friend was no where to be found was troubling him as well.
"How do you know that! He could be any where. I swear if Solo so much as breathes on him I will castrate him the old fashioned way and hang his balls from my dressing room wall.
Trowa was think along the same lines.
"Maybe we should go to where we found Heero the last night." Duo perked up and turned the car in a fast U turn, heading the other direction at a neck breaking speed.
"Duo it might be a good idea to make sure we're still alive if we want to help Heero!" Trowa yelled over the wind. Duo nodded and slowed slightly. Slightly meant going 115 instead of 120 mph.
"Thanks," he said sarcastically.
10 minutes later they were parked in front of the alley. Duo hopped out of the jeep and ran into the alley. The blood encrusted chains were still there, but Heero. Duo whined and raced back to the car.
"They're not there."
"Let's go over to their place. Maybe we'll find something. Don't give up Duo." He nodded and stepped on the gas.
Quatre and Heero
Two hours later, Quatre and Heero pulled up in front of their apartment.
"Trowa's jeep is here. We're going to die!"
"Calm down Quatre. It can't be that bad."
Quatre wheeled Heero into the elevator. It was seconds before they were at the front door. Way to soon. Taking a deep breath, Quatre opened it up.
He quietly pushed Heero into the living room, where the two men were sitting close and talking frantically.
"Hey guys!" Quatre said nervously.
Duo and Trowa stared open mouthed at them for a few moments before Duo exploded.
"WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU! We thought Solo might have taken you. Do you have any idea how worried we were. You two have a lot of explaining to do." Heero and Quatre coughed nervously, before Quatre grabbed Heero's chair and speed them into the bedroom.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Duo snapped grabbing Heero's chair. He hauled Heero up and out of it and placed him on the couch. He couldn't escape.
'DAMNATION!'
"You better start talking." Duo was looking at Heero murderously.
"Well uh you see it happened like this…"
"YES?"
"Heero and I had a corporate meeting tonight and we knew you would never let us leave so I tricked you into getting Heero something and we snuck out the back."
"WHATEVER POSESSED YOU TO DO SOMETHING AS STUPID AS THAT! We drove all over the city looking for you guys, thinking something terrible had happened to you. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO WORRIED IN MY LIFE. I MEAN JESUS CHRIST QUATRE, HEERO WAS RAPED LAST NIGHT!" Heero frowned.
"Don't put this on Quatre. It wasn't his fault. I wanted this."
"THIS WAS A VERY FUCKING STUPID THING TO DO!" Duo growled, frowning at the two boys on the couch.
"We had no choice!" Quatre snapped.
"YOU COULD HAVE JUST TOLD ME THE TRUTH!"
"YOU WOULDN"T HAVE LET US GO!" Heero snapped.
"That's not the point. You two scared the shit out of me. Quatre next time you write a note, try not to be so idiotic. I mean what did you expect us to think when we read..
'I've got Heero. Don't look for us."
Heero began laughing so hard he could feel his stitches stretching slightly. Quatre joined him a minute later. Duo and Trowa just stood their angry.
"WHAT IS SO FUNNY?" Heero wiped the tears from his eyes and answered.
"That was a really stupid note." He broke out into laughter again. Duo smacked his hand to his head and groaned.
He had almost had a heart attack when he realized Heero was missing and all the boy could do was laugh.
"Heero, Quatre, If you ever do this again I swear to god I will kill you two myself."
Heero pushed himself forward on the couch.
"We're sorry for worrying you two." Duo sighed and rubbed Heero's head.
"Just don't do it again. My nerves can't take it." Heero nodded.
"Trowa smirked down at Quatre before flicking him in the forehead.
"How did you ever get a 4.0?" Quatre laughed and swatted his hand away.
Trowa and Duo left a while later after making sure all the windows and doors were locked. Heero and Quatre couldn't help but feel happy that they had.
