The Ride

Chapter 4

 
 
 
Duo stepped toward the man with the gun, knowing full well he could die. It didn’t matter about him, as long as Hilde was safely away. He could hear Trowa and Quatre moving away with a screaming Hilde. He grinned and rushed the man with the gun. He felt the pain before he saw the flash, and dropped to his knees on the pavement. His hand crept to his shoulder as he continued to go down.
“You stupid bastard.” The other man hissed as he approached Duo, kicking him in the side.
“Damn it.” He tucked his gun away as Max ran up to him.
“Where’s the girl?”
“She ran with those other guys..”
“The other truckers?”
He nodded. “Sam, Kevin, and Josh are chasing them.”
Max nodded and knelt down beside Duo.
“Where are they?”
Duo said nothing. Max Pulled him to his feet, grabbing his wounded shoulder. “You will tell me what I need to know.”
“Fuck off.” Duo growled through his gritted teeth.
Max Hit Duo across the mouth then punched him in the stomach, sending Duo to his knees again. Duo’s head dropped to the pavement as he tried to get back his breath.
Max stepped up again, but his cell phone rang. He glared at Duo and answered the phone.
“Max.” There was a pause before he answered. “No, sir , we don’t have her. We have her traveling companion.” He glared at Duo who grinned back. “ Yes, sir, Well, Phil shot him.” He approached Duo and looked at the wound in his shoulder. “It’s not life threatening, sir, but it’s bleeding pretty good.” Another pause. “Yes sir.”
He hung up and turned to Phil. “Get us a room. And some first add supplies. Mr. Yuy is coming here.”
He went to Duo and pulled him to his feet, just as the other 3 men returned. “Sorry, Max, we lost them, but it’s her.” One of them said as he held up the red wig.
“Explain it to Yuy. He’s coming.” He turned to the injured man barely standing next to him. He reached out and grasped Duo’s injured shoulder, squeezing hard. He watched as Duo groaned and passed out from the pain. “You better cooperate ,too.” He mumbled as he caught the unconscious man before he tumbled to the pavement again.

Heero growled at the complications this was causing him. He shook his head as he stood from his desk. He should have went by himself. He crossed the room to his door and flung it open.
“ Go home and pack a bag. You have 30 minutes. You are going on a road trip with me, Relena. The driver will take you and wait for you. Move it!”
Relena jumped from her seat more from shock than anything else. Heero Yuy never took her with him anyway. They had dated …..sort of….. It really wasn’t she had thought of a date but he had. Going to his house and translate dictation was not her idea of a date. She nodded as she hurried to the parking ramp and his awaiting car.

As soon as she entered her apartment she went to her closet and retrieved a box from the back. She opened the case and removed the well oiled and cleaned gun. Perhaps this would be her opportunity to pay back Mr. Yuy for her brother. She sighed, but unfortunately she had fallen in love with “Mr. Cold Fish.” So revenge was out of the question. She slipped the gun back into it’s holster and placed it in her suitcase between her clothes. She smiled as she placed more clothes on top. One never knew when a gun may come in handy. Besides the agency she worked for would frown upon her not taking it with her. She glanced at her watch and slammed down the lid, locking it in place. She reached down, snagged her attaché case and pulled the suitcase from the bed in one motion. Then she was out the door and down to the car. The driver had the trunk open and waiting for her. He took her bag and put it in the trunk as she watched, then let her into the car. She slid down into the leather seats and didn’t move until they arrived at the office building. Heero climbed into the back seat with her and placed a hand on her hand. She gasped slightly and looked over at him. He was looking straight ahead.
“Sir? What’s wrong?” She asked with concern.
“We think we have found Hilde. I need you to talk heto to coming back home.”
Relena’s eye’s narrowed, but she said nothing at first. Then she said, “Hilde? Why, wasn’t she at her father’s penthouse?”
Heero shrugged. “Yes and no.” He turned to look at her. “Relena, I know who you work for.”
“Of course you do! I work for you.”
He scratched his head ,”No, I know who you really work for.”
“What are you talking about?” The dumb act was getting her nerves, and she could see it was getting on his.
“I know , Relena. So you can cut the act. I need your help.”
She looked over at him. “How can I trust you? You could be using me to get Hilde so you can eliminate her. And cover up what ever has happened?”
He glared at her. “What do you take me for?”
“A cold blooded killer.” She said matter of factly.
He shook his head, “I have no intention of hurting her or you, for that matter. I have know all along who you work for. Granted I have done my share of killing, haven’t you?”
Relena slumped into her seat, and nodded. “Yes, I have .” She sighed.
Heero said nothing for a few minutes , “But I must find her before her father does. He would not hesitate to kill his only daughter.”
Relena nodded again and then looked over at Heero. “What would you have me do?”

Quatre tried to comfort the girl crying on the seat in the cab of their truck. He placed a hand on her shoulder and said, softly, “There. There. Duo will be alright. No matter what happens he seems to skirt disaster. But we will keep an eye on things, won’t we, Trowa?”
Trowa nodded, “If we leave now they will know we have the girl. We will wait and see what will happen next. “ He shifted in the seat to look at Quatre and Hilde. “One of us should get out and see what they have done with Duo.”
Quatre nodded. “Yes, I’ll go.”
“Be careful,” Trowa said, as he watched his friend slip out the door and disappear into the night.
“Will he be alright? Will he find him?” Hilde asked with a tinge of fear in her voice. “Oh, god, what have I gotten you all into?” She sobbed as she leaned her head against the window of the door.
Trowa snorted. “ It’s nothing ,we wouldn’t have done anyway.”

Quatre slipped between the parked trucks being careful to stay in the shadows . He moved quickly and with care till he was close to the place where Duo’s rig sat. He hid in the shadows as the men picked up Duo and carried him away. Then he followed a little behind to see where they were taking him to. He watched them slip into the shadows as one of the group left and went to the motel office. A few minutes later he returned to the group and held up a key. Quatre smiled and stepped out behind them pretending to go to the soda machine near the main entrance. He watched them moved down to a room and enter. He quickly stepped from the machine and located the room they had entered . He smiled smugly and left the vicinity to go to the rig.
When he got there, he climbed back in and looked at the two people waiting for him.
“We need to get a room.”
