"Dam!" Duo cursed in anger. "Now, I gotta fix my window."

"I'll get you a new window." Heero said, meaning it yet, his intention was to get him to stop talking about the broken window and to try and figure out why they did it.

"Thanks buddy, tha'd be nice." Duo said, for a moment doubting that Heero would ever get the window for him since help w as sort of an almost uncommmon thing for Heero to offer.

They drove back home, Duo freezing since the wind and snow kept hitting him.

"What could they have beeen after? Did you leave cash out?" Heero asked.

"No, my cash is stuffed in my wallet."

"A gun?"

"Nope, that's on me." Duo grinned a bit.

"Drugs?"

"...no!" Duo was a bit shocked that Heero would think he did drugs, but then remembered it was heero asking the questions.

"Your cell?"

Duo slammed on the brakes and gasped. He checked under the seats, his pockets.

He found his cell phone up in the sunglasses case.

"Yes! They didn't take it!" Duo was so happy.

"Duo, why are you driving me home? Heero remembed that he had to go to work

Heero's cellphone/gps/walki-talki rang a short ring. Heero anwsered it, knowing it was his work he didn't say a greeting, it would probably be a recording.

"Mat Drinn, you requested has been granted for3 days vacation. You are to come in to work within 3 days from this phone call. Thank You." a female computer generated voice spoke.

"Nevermind."

"Heero do you actually live somewhere? Do you have a car?" Duo asked.

"Yeah. I live in many places. And I have a car and a truck.."

"Well, which one is actually home to you."

Heero ignored his question.

"..." Duo waitecd for an awnser.

"..."

"..."

"The outskirts of Rinoka City."

"Wow, that's actually not far from here. Why did't you tell Trowa?"

Heero suddenly grabbed the steering wheel and jerked it to the right. They went off the dirt road and hit a tree.

Heero quickly checked Duo's pulse on his wrist and got nothing, checked his neck. The pulse was fine. Then he got out of the car and went to the road.

There was a White German Shepard sprawled out in the road. Heero involuntarily rushed towards the dog and bent over to make sure it was okay. It hit him then that he might've killed the dog.

'...Relena...' Heero said her name in his head. He looked for breathing and found that it was alive just, unconscience. He picked up the dog and put it in the back seat.

Heero looked at Duo. He must've hit the wheel pretty hard. He was out cold. Heero went to the driver side of the car and opened the door, unbuckled Duo and, since it was a short distance, decided to drag him to the passenger seat, rather than picking him up over his shoulder.

Soon, Heero was on the way to his house, which wasn't that terribly far from Duo's house. On the way their he stopped to get his lap top, and his other clothing. Then started towards his house.

He got there and pulled into his garage and shut the garage door. Then, he got Duo dragged him to small room with a cot in it. The room was actually a closet under the stairs.

Heero then went back to the car to find the Dog. He brought it inside and laid it on the couch. Then he started a fire and laid the dog beside it. This dog had to survive.

For Heero, this somehow reminded him of that night in his dorm room.

Relena had curtsied and he had his gun pointed to her head. He could've killed her like he could have killed the dog.

Heero shook his head, dismissing the memories jogged back by the White German Shepard.

Heero took off his shoes and took of Duo's and laid them by the door.

Then Heero went upstairs and laid down on his bed, he took his gun from under his pillow. He looked at it.

Heero didn't know why he still had the gun really. To him not having a gun was like not having his pants, he couldn't go in public without either. Heero laid there and just slowly drifted off into sleep.
