Chapter Two: Lucky

Beep…..Beep…..Beep…..Beep

"The bullet pierced the lung, she's crashing." Sally Po cried.

Beep…..Beep…..Beep…..Beep

"We've already replaced her entire blood line, the nurse told her, she's losing blood faster then we can replenish."

Beep…..Beep…..Beep…..Beep

"There's nothing else we can do." Sally stated.

Beep…..Beep…..Beep...

She could hear moment outside her room. Her head hurt, she was sore, and very tired. It smelled like disinfectant and mud, sounded like rain. She opened her eyes and got her first look at her surroundings. She was in a makeshift medical tent. The only light was a lamp hanging on metal rod. She was alone. Carefully she slid out of bed, her feet hitting the hard dirt. Silently she inspected her surroundings, finding her torn and bloody clothes. She took her shoes and found some grey sweats and a white t-shirt. Seeing a tray of surgical equipment she picked up a surgical knife. Dressed she peaked out the tent into the cold stormy darkness. There were tents and armored vehicles around. She saw the shuttle transport by what seemed to be the lake. Inside the tents she saw shadows. In a large open tent, she saw what looked to be rebel soldiers in a meeting. Hearing movement around the tents corner she quickly backed into the tent. Hiding behind a table, she heard someone walk in. Taking in a breath, Quatre knocked the table over and threw the blade at the intruder.

"Ouch!" exclaimed Duo. "What the hell are you trying to do? Kill me?"

"Duo?" asked Quatre," What are you doing here? I thought I was captured. Where are the guys? Where are we?"

She came to his side and saw his bleeding hand. "Oh Allah, Duo I hurt you. I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"

He laughed, "With your aim? I'm surprised you survive missions? Remind me to teach you to shoot!"

Seeing Sally and Wufie enter the tent she spoke, "Miss Sally, please help."

"Keep pressure on the wound." Sally told her. "Quatre, how are you feeling?"

"Fine. Please help him." Quatre answered.

"It's just a flesh wound. Barely needs stitches." She told her calmly. "I'm more concerned with how you feel."

"Just a little sore. No need to worry."Quatre smiled.

"You almost died. You should really be resting." Sally urged.

"Yea Quatre, you should be in bed propping your feet up; watching some soaps" Duo joked.

"You're laughing in a time like this?" Quatre asked.

"He was dropped on his head too much as a baby." Wufie stated.

"Wufie! You're here. I'm so glad you're alright." Quatre told him. "Where's Trowa? Heero?"

"Trowa had a mission, we'll see him around." Duo answered standing on his feet.

"And Heero? Is he okay?" she pleaded.

"Yeah. We all made it out of there alright. Well, you not so much."Duo spoke.

"This is way she should be taking it easy." Sally interrupted, "Remember what we discussed, Quatre needs weeks of rests; not be throwing scalpels. Understand young lady."

"Yes Miss Sally. I'm sorry to have worried you." Quatre bowed her head sitting on her cot.

"Quatre I've contacted Rashid, he will be here shortly to escort you to a safe house." Wufie spoke coming to stand in front of her.

"What! But I'm fine. Quatre cried, There's no reason for me to leave guys. I can still help."

"It was Instructor H who suggested that you rest." Wufie told her.

"You contacted Instructor H. Why would you do a thing like that? Duo did you have something to do with this? Quatre said.

"No Quat, it was Trowa. He thought it would be a good idea for you to take some time to rest and we all agreed." Defended Duo.

"What your teammates did was right and it is with your best interest to do so." Consoled Sally.

"Alright, I guess you're right. Only for a couple weeks." Quatre said defeated.

Sally put her hand on her shoulder. "It's for your own good. You were really lucky this time. Your team was really worried for you. They didn't leave from outside the tent once while you were in surgery.

"We removed the bullet. Quatrina is in critical condition. She survived surgery, but she's going to need time to recover." Sally instructed the pilots.

"But she will recover right?" Duo pleaded.

They were situated around the room, listening to Dr. Sally Po. They had been waiting for hours. It had taken too long to locate and contact Sally in Asia. Trowa had done what he could to keep her alive long enough to make the trip.

"She might not wake up." Sally said finally.

The guys looked at her. Taking in the doctor's words; realizing that their comrade may be gone. Even though she had kept secrets from them Quatre was their teammate. She had gotten them out of there along with their gundams. She had completed the mission and had nearly gotten killed in the process.

"Such injustice!"Wufie scowled arms folded. He leaned against the wall. How could such a ridiculous event occur? She should have just left us there to be executed. We are men we should not have let this happen. Now she saved our ass and she's the one to pay the price. Damn!

"She knew the risks. We all did. She'll make it." Heero spoke. He knew she had her reasons for not telling them. In a way it all makes sense. Life for a prisoner of war was hard and brutal. But for a woman it could mean torture in a way that the others wouldn't know. A failed mission means death. I hope a mission complete doesn't mean the same.

"She never should have been there. Said Duo, She should have just have blown up the base with us in it. To hell with orders."

Trowa said nothing. It all makes sense. Why all the secrets. How protective the Maganac Corps are. Why she's always taking care of each of us. Everything is coming together. How could I let this happen? I was right there. It shouldn't have happened like that. SHIT!

"Did Rashid have any idea where we would be going?" Quatre asked the other pilots.

"He said something about a desert." Duo answered.

"The Sahara. Quatre clarified, there's a town there that the Magnac Corps use as a retreat base camp. When do we leave?"

"You and Sally leave when Rashid arrives. A shuttle transports ready for you in the city with your Gundam." Wufie answered.

Quatre nodded, "I understand any idea when we meet again."

"Instructor H wanted me to contact him when you were fully recovered. Sally answer, You should get some sleep I'll wake you when it is time to leave."

AN: Please R and R. I don't really know where this is going or who Quatre is going to be with. I'm always up for ideas and criticism. If you suggest something I'll be sure to give you credit, with in the chapter I do it or at the end of the story.

I will update every few days. First 4 or 5 chapters will not be as long. But they will be longer.

P.S. Special Shout Out to Pokeyonekenobie sorry to confuse you. Thanks for the heads up.
