Chapter 7:

"Watch it Duo!" called a blond haired boy.

"Yeah, yeah I know," called the other as they ran down the hallway as explosions were going off. "Let's book it a bit faster." He grabbed the blond and slammed out the door and races towards the high fence. He pulled his gun out and shot off at the guards. The blond trailing behind him, just as they made the fence the building behind them burst up in a sea of flames. They both stopped for a moment and looked at it. Almost sad expressions in their eyes, ever since Heero left they had been trying o pick up the major slack that he had left behind.

They both headed for their get away car and got in with the blond driving through the Colony.

"Man, why did he have to ditch us?" Duo whined as he looked out the window at the flashing lights that drove by, trying to get to the scene.

"I don't think he meant to Duo," the blond replied softly. Duo didn't reply for a long moment.

"Yeah, I guess your right Kat," Duo said and sighed. "Damn Leo knocking him into that hole, he's out there somewhere, but by now he's dead," Duo said.

"Don't say that Duo, it's not true," Quatre informed him.

Duo looked at him, not convinced by his words. He leaned back placing his hands behind his head as the blond drove. After a moment, "Its hard filling his slack, L1 looks so different then L2," he said as they drove down what was considered the 'bad' part of the colony, here it was still middle class, even if it was low middle class. This was the 'bad' he was use to on L2. He wondered how a guy like Heero could grow up here and act the way he does.

Quatre didn't know what to say, he knew that L2 was the slums of the colonies, and that their best was the other colonies worst. He didn't know what it was like for Duo, or Heero. He was the Heir to the Winner foundation. He pulled into a hotel parking lot. Duo didn't seem to notice it. Quatre sat for a moment. "Yeah, it is hard, but while one of our team is missing we have to be strong and strong still when he returns. He's our friend Duo; he's not going to abandon us."

Duo turned and looked at him; he chewed on his cheek a moment and nodded. "Yeah, you're right Kat," he said and got out of the door. He pulled his baseball cap on and started towards the hotel behind that blond. One military OZ Mobile Doll base down, thirteen more to go, then that resource satellite. They walked into the small room, and Duo flopped on the bed and flipped the TV on. Watching the news report of their damage while Quatre took a shower he called, "Sweepers will be here tomorrow to pick us up."

As the blond walked out he looked at the screen. "Where too then?" he asked.

"Dunono," he replied, "follow the sweepers for a bit, stay off the radar while Tro and Wufei handle theirs, then I guess back here or to L2." Quatre nodded and watched the news as Duo went and took his shower.

They weren't a team, not until they got Heero back. The problem was how, Duo thought he was dead, or worse part of OZ, no, he knew better, Heero was still alive, and not switched sides. Heero wouldn't do something like that, it wasn't him. When Duo walked back out and was drying his hair the news reporter was saying something about colony terrorist. Duo clenched his fist as he listened to the woman.

"Terrorist!" he almost yelled and threw the towel drying his hair down, glaring. "We're helping them!"

Quatre couldn't do anything to ease the other's fears or angers. He sat on the bed and watched the screen his head bowed thinking. "Duo," he started and was shocked to see the anger, the hate in his eyes. He was feeling more then betrayed, first Heero leaves, and then the colonies are turning their backs on them. How could he or any of them not feel betrayed. "Heero will return." Duo shot him a glare and then laughed his goofy laugh with a smile on his face.
