Operation Blank Conspiracy 5

Time: 16:45 hours

Wufei was the first one of the two to return. He felt frustration when he walked through the door seeing that Heero hadn't made it back yet. But then for Heero to tell him to return with a promise of explaining later meant he either found their target, or something bad happened. He was voting on the first option.

Quatre seemed to finally acknowledge Wufei's presence as the black haired male tossed his helmet onto the bed. He could see that the other were had started about putting things away and packing up which meant they were getting ready to move soon. Well he definitely had no complaints about that, he was ready to be done with this mission anyway, and for good reason. The young Maxwell orphan was, literally, a pain in the ass. Could anyone be such a nuisance and get away with it?

"Has Heero contacted you yet?"

"Yeah," Quatre said and smiled at him as if trying to cheer up his foul mood. It didn't work. "He said he has Subject 02 with him." Now Wufei did look at him at those words, lifting a brow as he stared at the blond.

"So he has 02?"

"Yeah."

"Without having to fight him?"

"I…don't really know on that part." Quatre frowned and glanced at Trowa who just seemed amused by the whole thing but didn't say anything as he kept packing. "He said they'd be here in about five minutes and to pack up everything as quickly as possible."

"So we're heading out to transport then," Wufei stated checking the gun he'd pulled out one of his bags before tossing it on the bed. "Shouldn't take us more than three days to get there at most."

"Yeah…but…"

"But what?"

"…How did he get 02 to come here?"

"Ask leader boy when he comes back." He continued on, packing away more stuff in his duffle bag such as maps, weapons, clothes, and other necessary miscellaneous things. There were clothes there for disguises, more earpieces for communication and even a sniper rifle leaning up against the side of the bed for if they had to deal with any assassinations. However, he at least didn't need to use half the stuff he brought with him, thank god.

Five minutes went by quickly and for the most part unnoticed until the door creaked open slowly. The small noise enough to alert the three boys that someone was there. When Wufei looked up he saw Heero standing there, somehow looking annoyed without even trying. Any other time he would have continued on with his task but…the person that was standing behind Heero.

"…Is that a girl?" Wufei asked frowning.

"02's a girl?" Quatre asked at about the same time. Well at least he wasn't the only one confused.

Before Heero even had a moment to open his mouth, their target stepped forward smiling and holding the helmet under their arm.

"Greetings," they said. The sound of the voice was high pitched and somehow perfectly feminine. Quatre looked surprised and even Heero was staring at the person like they were insane. Wufei didn't exactly get it himself maybe because he hadn't been one of the ones to actually hear the voice.

"Are you sure this is the right person?" Quatre asked eyes flickering to Heero.

"It is." And that was all Heero left it at as he stared at 02, more like glaring in Wufei's opinion.

"…A woman?" Wufei asked lifting a brow.

"No."

"Yes." Heero and 02 looked at each other, one out of amusement while the other with frustration.

Rolling his eyes, Heero stepped forward. "02 is-"

"A woman," 02 said and looked over at Heero with such a sly look, Heero looked ready to smack them. "And I can prove it if you want." 02 unzipped the jacket and lifted the shirt up enough that Wufei was able to see the bottom part of a bra, which made Wufei instantly turn red.

"N-No!" Quatre said quickly averting his eyes, blushing. "No, I believe you."

Heero just rolled his eyes and grabbed the bottom of the shirt lifting it all the way.

"Argh! ….Wait…he's…" Wufei glared at the con artist who was obviously flat…very flat.

"Well sorry if it's not as big as you were hoping," 02 said rolling their eyes.

"It's a guy," Heero said tugging the shirt down in place again. "He's been in disguise since finding out that OZ is after him."

"After that motorcycle ride, I guess you would know about me being a guy wouldn't you?" And Wufei was NOT going to ask why it looked like Heero's cheeks reddened a bit. "By the way, name's Duo Maxwell if you haven't figured that much out yet."

"Hn…" Heero ignored him as he looked around the room at his crew. "How much do we have left to pack up?"

"Everything's good, Zero," Quatre said before looking back at the laptop. "I'm just finishing letting HQ know we're heading to the pickup spot."

Heero nodded his head before he turned grabbing the violet eyed boy's wrist. "You're coming with us."

"Whoa," Duo said snatching his hand back. "I didn't make an agreement to that."

Heero frowned at that staring at him. "You're under our protection now."

"Heh." Duo stared at him before he started flat out laughing. "Sorry, don't see where you got that from." He smirked at the look on Heero's face. "I just wanted to meet all the people here. By the way, Zero, what's your real name?"

"…depends on when you decide to tell your real name." Duo just kept on grinning. Everything seemed to be a joke to him and it drove Wufei nuts. Why did they have to deal with such an annoying imbecile?

"Regardless," Heero continued, "names or not, you're still coming with us." Heero made to reached for Duo's hand again but the other pulled it back naturally.

"I don't think so," Duo said laughing slightly as he turned staring around the room. "Like I said, I don't remember ever saying I would go with you."

"But 02! I mean Duo…" Quatre turned in the computer chair. "If you don't go, OZ will only keep coming after you. You can't keep running forever."

"Uh…excuse me but," Duo held up a finger to stop him staring at him. Even though he was smiling, his eyes seemed to be saying a different story and, dare Wufei say it? It looked dangerous. "I've been running and hiding for seven years now. I think I can handle myself."

"Then explain to us how OZ found out about Maxwell church?" Wufei asked him, walking up to him and pointing a finger in his face. This kid was seriously getting on his last nerve. "How did they learn what apartment you were staying in? What if they had blew up that whole apartment building or killed those people in the church just to get to you? What then, huh? HUH?!"

"Shenlong, stand down!" Heero yelled out. Wufei looked up at their leader, glaring but he bit his pride and clenched his jaw stepping back if not to glare at Duo more.

"…Regardless, I'm not leaving. I won't let Father Maxwell and Sister Helen stay in danger because of me." Dare Wufei believe that the man looked sincere when he said it? It was obviously in his eyes, he'd hit a sore spot with those words about the people at Maxwell church being killed. So they were important to him, huh?

"Then let us help you," Quatre tried again, finally getting up and walking over to 02 and reaching down holding Duo's hand with both of his. The kid was good with this kind of stuff, the whole using emotion to get in touch with another's feelings. He could talk a lion out of eating an antelope if he wanted to.

"If you come with us then we can protect them."

"…A bribe huh?" Duo chuckled, but it didn't have the warmth it had earlier. It sounded eerie and Wufei found himself going on guard at the sound. He wasn't the only one either. Even Heero was holding his hand near his vest where he kept his gun. "If I go with you, you'll protected Father Maxwell and the others right?"

"We'll transport them to a safer location where they will be under full protection." Duo didn't look like he liked that idea much, gripping the helmet under his arm so hard that for a moment Wufei was sure he heard the shield shatter. Nah, that wasn't possible though. No one was that strong.

Still, it kept him on guard against this mysterious male that they really didn't know anything about. Duo closed his eyes, taking deep breathes before finally the hand loosened on the shield and he looked up, directly at Heero.

"Fine," he said breathing out before sitting the helmet down and resting his hands behind his head. "But if I find out that something happened to any of them while under your protection…." He left it at that, his darkened eyes going around the room like a wild tiger being held up in cage with his prey. But then the eerie feel went away as he smiled again and kneeled down behind the shield. "So what's our destination?"

"You'll find out when you get there."

Duo rocked back on his heels looking up at Heero as he did. "However since I'm making this deal with you, I have a request of my own." Heero stared down at him, frowning but nodding his head for him to continue. "I'd like to wait on leaving until I'm certain the people of Maxwell Church are safely on their way."

"What?!" Wufei glared at him. "We can't stay here to wait on tha-"

"Deal."

"Zero!"

"If it gets him to cooperate with us then we'll do it," Heero said simply looking at Wufei before looking at Quatre. "Call HQ and tell them the situation." Quatre nodded and turned back to the computer typing away quickly.

Wufei stood there flabbergasted for a moment before he marched in front of Heero and lean up whispering quickly, heatedly. "This is stupid. If we stay here any longer, OZ is going to pick up on it and come after us and 02."

"And if we don't give him what he wants, 02 is going to disappear on us before we even have a chance to register what happened." Heero stared at him hard, daring him to say otherwise. "And I doubt he'll make himself known again."

"Then what? We just stay here and wait on OZ to come pick us up?"

"We'll move to another location temporarily until we get word of the transport arriving."

"And where exactly are we going to go in this beat up colony."

"I have a place we can crash at for a little while." Both males jumped back at the sudden intrusion, the chubby cheeked male standing right beside them and looking innocent despite that Wufei knew he wasn't. How had he snuck up on them so quietly without either of them noticing? It made Wufei stare at him suspiciously.

"Where at?" Heero asked not even fazed.

"At my friend's apartment," Duo said not missing a beat as he grinned at them. "She's out of town for a while on a business trip but it's a pretty safe place. Trust me, I made it that way."

"Zero," Wufei said hurriedly. "We can't trust this person. Even though we were charged with protecting him, we still don't know his true affiliation with OZ."

"I doubt he's working with OZ if OZ is the one trying to catch him." Heero turned to Duo, staring at him for a moment before he turned around and headed to his bed for his stuff. "However, I'll go with 02 first to make sure it is sufficient for our needs before we move everything."

"Aw you just want to bang me before 'mom' gets home." Heero ignored him and this time Wufei did as well as he sighed and looked down at his stuff.

"Fine…if there's any trouble, just buzz and we'll come running right away." Heero nodded to that, grabbing up his important items before he turned walking over to Duo again. "Let's go," he said and the braided boy only grinned and nodded before grabbing up the helmet and leading the way out. Wufei watched them, watched the twin braids of hair going down the boys back and frowned. This was a big mistake, he just knew it.

"Well…what do you two think?" Wufei asked looking at the other two in the room. To Trowa, who'd been quiet this whole time, and to Quatre who was now finishing up typing to HQ and was turning to look at them.

"I think it's interesting," Trowa said. When Wufei stared at him he just shrugged his shoulders in amusement but said nothing else. Bastard.

"I think Trowa means that it's rare to get Heero get like this." Wufei blinked. Well that made little sense even if it was true. "To trust someone like this," Quatre amended at Wufei's confusion. And that was true. Heero didn't trust people easily, not unless he felt they were even footing with him or that he could work with them. For Duo to be trusted so easily, he must have done something to gain Heero's approval. But what?

"Anyway, you two stay here. I'll go down to the Maxwell Church and talk to Father Maxwell. It might be a good idea to let him know what's going on. Or I can at least warn him so he's not panicking when the Preventers suddenly surround them and tell them they're leaving."

"That is a good idea," Trowa said looking over at him. "You can let him know Duo's ok too."

"Alright." Quatre smiled at him. "You guys let me know if Heero calls."

"We will," Wufei said grunting and falling on his bed resting an arm behind his head as he closed his eyes. "Now get going so you can hurry back."

"Ok. See you guys soon." Wufei heard the door open and close, all in the span of a few seconds. Wufei was about to get a small nap before Trowa distracted him. He opened his eyes glancing over at him.

"What'd you say?"

"I said I get the feeling all of this is going to get messy," Trowa said. He was busy typing on his own laptop though what he was working on, Wufei couldn't see around his pointy hair. The other wasn't looking at him, back mostly facing him.

"…What makes you say that?"

"…Just a feeling," Trowa said shrugging. He started typing again and Wufei closed his eyes again, thinking about those words when the sound of the keys being hit lulled him to sleep.
