Author's comment: Yay done, even though work was killing me this week.

Initiating the Plan

"Mmmmph!"

H-He can't be serious!

"25 seconds." Heero didn't seem to waver, the gun still pointed at his head with that cool expressionless look on his face. Was he some kind of robot or something? Duo knew he had a look on his face that was probably screaming, 'you're insane!' Who in their right mind would threaten someone like that with a gun to their head?!

"Mmmpmmh!"

"I won't kill you if you can take those handcuffs off." It was like he was reading Duo's mind. The gun was pressed up tighter against Duo's forehead. "15 seconds." Realizing he didn't have much time to work with, Duo quickly reached his cuffed hands up to his hair pulling a pin that was lost in his long braid. It was a bit more difficult to do since his hands and feet were somehow cuffed together, but he managed. "5 seconds."

Quickly, he stuck the pin into the handcuffs, wiggling it around before he popped it free and took them off quickly, getting to work on his feet. "4, 3, 2-"

"Mmdone!" Duo said pulling the gag from around his mouth free. He was panting and sweating about as badly as Heero, the fear of being shot in the head like that enough to make him quicker than he'd ever remembered. He didn't want to admit being scared, but damn, when you had a gun to your head like that, what else could you do? Heero seemed to think about it for a moment before he lowered the gun and looked to the other two males.

"It took him all of 5 seconds to remove them."

"And it takes about five minutes for the electric currents to flow into the locks on the basement door," Wufei said rubbing his chin slightly. "This really might work."

"Good job, Duo," Trowa said resting a reassuring hand on his shoulder causing him to tense. "You've passed the test."

"Test?" Duo stared at the three of them before his wide eyes narrowed into a glare as he growled slightly. "You call pointing a loaded gun at someone's head a test?! This isn't some sick game you know!"

"It's not loaded," Heero said, pointing the gun at Duo's head. Duo didn't even have time to react; he could only close his eyes.

Click!

"…?" Opening his eyes, he looked at the gun realizing it wasn't smoking or anything like it. Did the guy really just do a bluff that whole time?

"Firing off a gun here would be stupid," Heero said as he turned away putting the gun away. "It would only alert the guards and everyone else in the building that something's not right."

"I…I knew that," Duo said glaring at him as he stood up. "But that doesn't give you the right to do what you want! You do realize I don't have to do anything for you!"

"You can say that all you want," Wufei said glaring at him now. "But in the end, you'll see why it is we have to do this."

"And why do you have to do this?" Now Duo was starting to actually get curious about what the group of them were planning to do. What did three people really think they could do by themselves? Wait, why was Wufei glaring at him? He was the one that should be angry, damn it! They were playing games with him! "Look, I really don't have to take this crap from you right now."

"I think you're better off listening," Trowa said resting a hand on Duo's shoulder again. Duo shouldered the hand off of him, but he did wait to listen, deciding he might as well since he had a feeling they weren't going to let him leave otherwise.

"We need four people for this operation," Heero said, turning around in his seat to look at him, his hair dangling between his eyes in a very sexy manner. Fuck, why did he have to be so hot? "We need someone fast enough to get into the basement. Like we said before, there's a special locking mechanism for the basement door. It looks like a regular lock, but once that door closes, a timer is set to go off within five minutes from the closing time. Twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, Treize comes out of that room. We're aiming for nighttime, since most people are usually asleep then."

"And you need four people…why?"

Heero just looked at him before he turned around looking at the screen and typing something up. A map popped up on the screen of the entire building. Each floor was detailed perfectly, each floor but the basement which was left with a huge question mark. "This is the basement door right here. Normally it'll be guarded by two soldiers standing here and here." He pointed on the screen to either side of the door. "The show tomorrow night will be here." He pointed to a big room that served as something of a theatre with tables set up. "When Trowa and Wufei perform tomorrow night, that's when we'll act." He looked at Duo, "meaning you and I, if your brain can process that."

Jerk.

"So Mr. High and Mighty, what are Trowa and Wufei going to be doing? Hm?"

"We're setting up distractions," Wufei said frowning a bit. "The people here seem to think pretty highly of us…so the two of us working together should be even better."

""You'll head down that way within 3 minutes of the time that the alarm should be going off coming from the left side. Treize leaves to the right. In any event, this should give you at least two minutes to unlock the door."

"Yeah sure, Mr. Know it all. So what about the guards?" Did this guy really think such a stupid plan would work?

"The guards will be coming to watch us," Trowa said smirking slightly, which just looked plain wrong on him for some reason. "Both Wufei and I have worked hard to get their attention. So trust us, they will come." Wufei actually looked like he reddened when he heard that, and turned away muttering something under his breath. So it looked like even the angry China boy could get flustered.

"Treize comes out at the exact same time everyday, at exactly twelve 'o clock," Heero said continuing where he left off. "When he walks away, the guards will probably wait about another two minutes before leaving to watch the show, also to the right. In the event that they don't, we do have a backup plan. Either way, it will give you plenty of time to open the door."

"And what are you going to do?" Duo asked, starting to feel like he really had no choice but to do this. Hell, all of them were saying what he was going to do already.

"I'll stay here and watch the monitor." Duo opened his mouth to protest but Heero continued. "We'll communicate through these ear pieces," he said pointing to the two ear connections on his desk. "Once you look like you've gotten the door almost unlocked, I'll come join you." Heero looked over his shoulder at him. "I won't let you go in there by yourself…it's too dangerous."

"Aww how nice," Duo said rolling his eyes. "That still doesn't mean I'm going to even agree to do any of this."

"You stupid-"

"Calm down, Wufei," Trowa said frowning as he reached out resting a hand on Wufei's chest to hold him back, his eyes staying on Duo. "He'll see for himself soon enough. People he knows will start to disappear and he'll find out that this place isn't what it seems."

"This place is like a hidden hell," Heero said standing up from the chair. "It's bad enough that it feels and looks like a whore house for men…but now, the strange disappears are becoming more frequent. Those that come back aren't the same. Normally, the guards are seen escorting them out." Heero frowned glancing at the computer screen. "And they all come from out of that room. Whatever's happening down there, it's not good and we need to get to the bottom of it."

"By the way," Trowa said. "Quatre will probably ask about you tomorrow night. Did you want me to say anything to him?"

"Yeah, just one thing," Duo said before lifting his middle finger and turning heading for the door. "And you can add extra emphasizes on it too!" He opened the door before turning around looking at the three of them staring at him. "Oh and here's one for you guys too," He said using both his hands to flick them off before he went out slamming the door behind him.

The night passed into the next day and Duo was still pissed off. Who did those guys think they were telling him what to do?! He'd done what he could to avoid them sure they'd be looking for him or demanding him to show up. Especially Heero being that he was the big shot blue collar. It didn't help making himself look inconspicuous when he was one white collar among several black collars and the only male with a long ass brown braid. He was happy, though, when he found Johnny, someone he'd come to socialize pretty well with.

"Johnny!"

"Duo!" Johnny smiled happily as he walked over to him staring up at him. "Where have you been? I was worried about you."

"Sorry," Duo said smiling as he rested his hands behind his head. "I got dragged off by that guy."

"You mean Heero?" Johnny's eyes glazed over. "Isn't he so cool?"

"He's alright," Duo said frowning a bit. "Kind of a jerk to me though."

"You had to give him a bath right?"

"Uh…well…' Duo couldn't help redness in his cheeks at the idea of seeing the brunet even though he didn't get to see that. How the heck did he get out of that duty anyway?! Well, cause Heero was a jerk that's why.

"So how big is he?" Johnny seemed a little too excited, almost jumping up and down at the thought of being able to know. So much for thinking that Johnny was the cute little innocent boy. That's right, none of the black collars were allowed to touch the blue collar. And of course getting an answer like that out of Wufei or Trowa would be like trying to make an ant talk. Then again, did Wufei and Trowa even do any of that stuff? After all, Heero didn't have cameras in his room. And for some reason, Duo had a hard time seeing either of the two boys getting that close to Heero.

"Well…he's got a pretty big gun," Duo said thinking elsewhere to the gun that'd been pointed at his head. "And it looks like he likes shooting it off a lot. It didn't help that he had me handcuffed at the time either." He growled slightly thinking about that stupid jerk. That stupid sexy jerk. Why did he have to be so sexy?!

"O-Oh," Johnny blushed glancing down for a second before looking up at him. "So does that mean you guys did-"

"So where's Solo hiding?" Duo asked, changing the subject quickly wishing the redness in his face would go away. "I haven't seen him all day."

"I haven't seen him either," he replied. He seemed surprised. "He wasn't in his room this morning either. I figured maybe he went for a walk or something since his bed wasn't made." He got a thoughtful look on his face. "I hope nothing bad happened to him."

Duo frowned. He hoped Solo was ok too. The thought made him think of Heero's words. Something was going on inside the Ozzy Play Pen. If this was effecting Solo he needed to find out. Even if that meant having to help Heero with his crazy plan…no wait…was he really willing to go that far? What if Solo was around just not around with them. Yeah, maybe he was just reading too much into it. Hell, if he did go missing, who was to say that Heero wasn't the one to do it? It was obvious he was able to easily hack into any system.

Geez, I need to stop thinking so much.

"So let's go get some swimming in! Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll pop up there."

Well…swimming turned out to be quite…eventful. Swimsuits were an unnecessary thing since everyone swam in the buff. Ok, technically, there were all guys there anyway but…quite a few of them seemed pretty…stiff. What was even weirder was that they didn't seem to care much! It was definitely a little much for Duo to handle, so he just left his boxers on. But after being bumped into by several arms and legs and other objects, he finally had enough of swimming after about 5 minutes of it. It might have helped some if his boxers didn't keep disappearing at weird moments. It also didn't help that some of the eyes were staring at him in a not so friendship only way. He knew he was hot but damn….

So Duo left Johnny to the pool, giving him a quick goodbye as he told him he was going to go take himself a little nap. Or at least that's what he thought he was going to do anyway.

"Duo Maxwell." Duo looked up at the voice seeing a man leaning up against his door looking at him, arms folded over his chest. Man was the guy tall, though then again Duo was pretty tiny himself. Maybe it was from the lack of eating vegetables as a kid…or food in general sometimes. The first thing he noticed about the guy was the lack of a collar around his neck. It sent off a sudden alarm in his mind as he stared at the guy, not sure what to say. One thing was for sure, he wasn't a slave like the rest of them. And the smug look in his eyes as he stared at Duo, eyes trailing down his body and back up made Duo feel like he needed a bath.

"Eh…hi?" Duo asked, standing still and staring at the guy warily.

"So you're the new boy," Treize said walking over and stopping in front of him, brushing a finger against Duo's chin. "Who knew you'd be so enticing? Zechs was right to pick you."

"Not that I came here willing," Duo said brushing the hand away, just not feeling right with this man near him. But he didn't show any weakness as he glared at him.

"Of course," the man said chuckling slightly. "I was told by Zechs that your little bet didn't go so well. By the way," the man gave a slight bow of his head. "My name is Treize Kushrenada. I am the co-owner of this…wonder establishment."

"Joy," Duo said rolling his eyes. "Doesn't that just make me trust you even more."

"I'm glad you appreciate my attention," Treize said, pretending the snide comment hadn't come out. "We will definitely have to…get to know one another further."

"Well that's not going to be happening right now," Duo said eyeing him suspiciously. "I'm planning on taking a nap. I'm tired, I'm wet, and frankly this place just gives me the creeps."

"Oh then by all means, get your rest," Treize said stepping to the side. "I don't want my beautiful boys getting wrinkles all over their nice skin." Duo shuddered as a hand was brushed against his arm, a worried look crossing his features before he finally started moving towards his room, glancing back before going inside. The blue eyes followed his every moment, even feeling like they were watching him through the door after he'd closed it. For all he knew, maybe they were. The cameras all around him definitely made him feel like it anyway. It made him feel far more exposed than he'd though, and a quick glanced showed him at least seven cameras in his room. Not a blind spot was left opened, which sucked for him even more. If he wanted to get dressed comfortable, he either had to take his chances and go for it, try the shower room, which he doubted, was camera free, or…go to Heero's room.

You know…I think that chlorine filled pool water was enough to clean me for today. Yep, just perfect. Not a spot of dirt on me.

It wasn't like it was his first time going without a bath or new clothing. But he knew from experience that a little bit of dirt wasn't going to stop a man from getting what he wanted sexually. If he was assigned to 'entertain' some guy, he was almost certain they'd want sex from him.

They always do.

But a quick kick to the nuts probably wouldn't be a good idea in this place. He wouldn't be surprised if they tied him down just so the customers could have their way with him. That single thought made him think about the missing Solo. Where did the boy go? He hadn't seen him all today and already it was midday. Duo figured that maybe if he took a nap for a bit, he'd be thinking straight enough to see about finding him. Not that it helped his nerves any that Treize was looking at him like a piece of meat. Who did he think he was?! Well he was the owner, co-owner of the Ozzy Play Pen. Of course he'd be taking out time to inspect the new meat on the platter. Not that Duo didn't think of himself as some damn good meat but still…..

…I must be hungry.

Well food was just going to have to wait. He really didn't feel like being bothered out there with all those people looking like cattle going to the slaughterhouse. If they had to be a group of sheep surrounded by wolves, then he was going to be the black sheep chilling out outside the fence with a pair of headphones on. Sighing, Duo flopped down on the bed, resting his hands behind his head as he lay back staring up at the ceiling. He missed the freedom of the outside world. He wished someone out there would at least notice him missing. He could easily blame himself for excepting Quatre's plead that he'd do this job. He could have walked away, especially since he had such a bad feeling about the whole thing. But then, he knew he couldn't truly hate Quatre. He felt bad for being used, yeah, but he didn't hate the man that helped him get away from the terrible street life he used to live. Now, he had himself a decent apartment, a steady job, and money to support his hungry tummy.

Well I did until the bastard sold me into slavery anyway.

He decided to ignore that as best he could, focusing on the needed rest he wanted after all the stress Heero put on him. Stupid blue collar, thinking he could just boss people around. Stupid place thinking it could control people and make them do what they wanted. And stupid Wufei for being an asshole of a jerk to him!

Gah, this place is going to drive me crazy!

TBC….

And that ends that for this round eh…I mean chapter. Hehe, poor Duo feels so tortured. I have little trust for Treize though. I'm not sure what he's planning, but I can bet it's bad.
