After getting his food, he found a booth and sat down. He started unwrapping his burger, when he heard a "psst." Looking up towards the sound, he found himself staring right into the barrel of some kind of gun. "What the hell?" He said, as he froze.

After the initial shock of seeing the gun, he looked a little higher into a pair of shocking blue eyes. They were narrowed underneath a mess of brown hair...straight at him. "You will come with us..." the gun pointer said, his eyes narrowing more.

Duo's eyes widened a bit as he saw the trigger being tightened. This guy meant business. He rose his hands in the air, and slowly stood up...immediately feeling the pressure of another gun to the back of his head.

His captor seemed to relax a bit, as he looked up at the other person. "Bind him, and let's go."

'Wow...this is not a good day...' Duo thought, as his arms were jerked behind him and bound with a cord...tightly. He winced, thinking of what he could say...this was clearly a mistake. He had to make them realize this. "Hey...don't you think that you have the wrong guy? I haven't done any--"

A sharp pain to the back of the head, and he was out like a light.


He awoke sometime later to the sharp smell of iodine...and to a headache. He took in a deep breath, and let it out...afraid to open his eyes for a moment. What could that smell be? Where could he be? He took in another deep breath, and let it out slowly, and opened his eyes. He stared right into a bright light. "Ugh!" He said, moving to block the light with his hand.

Then he realized that he was bound to whatever it was that he was lying on. "What the hell?" He cried out, and tested the bondings with his arms and legs. Yep...he was tied fast to the table, or bed that he was on. This couldn't be good.

Raising his head up a bit, he looked down at himself, and saw that he was still clothed and everything, and that he was in what looked like a hospital room. He lowered his head a bit, and calmed down...trying to get his bearings. His head still hurt, making it difficult to think. What could be going on?

He heard a door open, and raised his head up to see that it was a nurse coming in...carrying a needle. "Hey!" He said, struggling a bit. "What am I doing here? Where am I?" His eyes widened as he struggled a bit more. She wasn't answering him! She just walked calmly to him, took his pulse, and then slid the needle into his arm...putting in the amber-colored liquid that was in the seringe. It felt cold going in..making him shiver.

"Why...won't you...uh...ans..." He felt groggy,...the world going blurry...and then black once more.


"The tests were done successfully. He does have it, Doctor."

"Can we remove it at all?"

"Not without killing him."

"That won't do...best to keep him ignorant of it."


He awoke some unknowned time later in his aparment...feeling sick to his stomach. He had had the weirdest dream. Something about going to the hospital...and being kidnapped. He sat up in bed, looking out the window. Had it been real...or just a dream?
