The Ride

 
 
Chapter 6

 
 
 
 
 
There was nothing but shocked faces as the door to the room burst open. Trowa quickly crossed the room and subdued the man with the whisky and the pocket knife.
Phil tried to reach for his gun, but Gus whacked him on the side of the head with the tire iron he held as a weapon. The other 3 men backed into a corner and said nothing.
“We need to tie these guys up so we can get out of here without being followed.” Quatre said calmly. Does any one have any rope?”
Several grunts were heard as pockets were gone through and eventually someone produced a small roll of twine.
Quatre nodded, “That will work.”
After several minutes all the men were tied up. Quatre walked around and checked all the bindings , making sure they weren’t too tight to cut off circulation.
“Yuy will come after you guys,” The man who had been standing over Duo growled.
Quatre shrugged. “Maybe so. But it’s a big country, he’ll have to find us first.”
The other man said, softly, “Oh , he will. He will.”
Quatre laughed, “And we’re suppose to be afraid, right?”
He said nothing as he leaned his head up against the wall he was against.
“Who is this Heero Yuy everyone suppose to be so deathly afraid of?”
“He’s an enforcer. He has no emotions and he kills with out hesitation.”
“Really? Interesting. I think would like to meet him some day.”
“You will.”
Quatre shrugged his shoulders and turned away dismissing the man.
“Trowa?”
Trowa was standing over the man laying in the bed. He reached down and pushed gently on the bullet hole. “ It’s in pretty deep. Quatre, this bullet will need to come out.”
Quatre nodded as he looked at the wound. “Yes, but we don’t have the facilities or a doctor on hand right now. Let’s get him out of here.”
“Gus? Will you?”
Gus nodded and went to the bed and picked Duo up in one fluid motion. “Where to, boss?” He asked, as he stood waiting.
“Come on.”

Hilde paced in the room Quatre had brought her to. She crossed her arms and stomped back and forth. She hated not knowing what was going on. Where were they? What was happening?
She threw her hands up in frustration as she waited. She flopped on the bed and picked up the remote, hitting the on switch. The TV blared until she turned it down. She flipped through the channels, not really seeing what was on . She tossed the remote on the bed beside her and flopped back , fighting back the tears that had started to form in her eyes.
“Damn it!” She cried as she sat up and swiped her hands over her eyes. “I won’t cry! I won’t. He’ll be fine.”
She looked up as the door was suddenly opened. Her eyes opened wide as a man a big as the door stood in it. He had Duo gripped in his arms.
“Where?”
She pointed to the bed, half in shock.
He grinned and placed him on the bed.
Quatre push at him from behind, “ Gus, get out of the way!”
Gus moved over and let Quatre by.
“He’ll be ok, Miss Hilde. The wound isn’t bad ,but I have to see if I can find a doctor to get the bullet out.”
She moved closer to the bed and looked at Duo carefully, pulling back his shirt. The wound looked red and painful.
She looked over to Quatre, “Do you think there is a doctor here?” She asked as she looked back at Duo.
Quatre shrugged, “I don’t know but I’ll find out.”
“What about Heero’s men?”
“They are fine, we tied them up and left them for Yuy to find.”
“Uh… what about …..”
“Oh, Hilde, reach into his pocket and get his keys. Be mindful of the gun.”
“Gun?” She asked, with surprise in her voice.
“Yes, he carries a gun, but he doesn’t use it . It’s seldom loaded. Be mindful of it, it could be loaded now.”
“Ok.” She replied as she reached into his jeans pocket and pulled out the keys. Hilde handed them over to Quatre who quickly pocketed them.
“I’ll send Trowa to the truck and get you some things before we move it. And I will find a doctor or someone who will help us.” He turned to the rest of the men, “Out all of you! I thank you for your help. We must continue on our way.”
Quatre turned to Hilde, “Get him comfortable and Trowa and I will return shortly.”
Hilde watched as the door closed, then turned to the man on the bed. She sighed and went to his shoes. She untied the boots he had on his feet and dropped them to the floor. She then went to his shirt and tried to get it off the best she could with out moving him too much. She stopped when he let out a soft groan.
“Sorry,” She murmured softly. She gulped as she worked the bloody shirt from his shoulders, blinking back the tears that kept threatening to fall. She bit her lip and threw the shirt on the floor. She then let her fingers work on the belt and his pants. She undid the button and zipper, hoping he didn’t go native. She sighed in relief as she saw the top of a pair of white Hanes. She quickly pulled them off and they found there way to the floor.
She admired his almost bare body. She blushed as Hentai thoughts skimmed through her brain, and she quickly pulled the covers over him. She made her way to the small bath room and grabbed a wash cloth. She quickly wet it with cool water and came back into the room. de wde went to the bed and placed the wet cloth on Duo’s forehead. He moved slightly , then suddenly grasped her, pulling her to him. He eyes stared into hers.
“Why are you still here?” He rasped. “You didn’t get caught, did you?”
She struggled to get from his grip. “No, Trowa and Quatre freed you. We’re in our own room.”
He wouldn’t let her go and hugged her to him.
“Thank god.” He breathed.
“Duo?” Hilde questioned. li lifted her head and looked into his face. Their faces were inches apart. His mouth was suddenly on hers, kissing her lips softly. Her eyes got wide in shock and her body tensed for a few seconds. She relaxed and let herself be carried away by the tender sweet kiss.
Her eyes closed and she savored it. She gasped as he released her lips. She opened her eyes and looked at him, as he turned away from her.
“Sorry.” He whispered.
“Wha…. What?” She stuttered, at first , not sure why he was apologizing. When it hit her, she gently fingered his chin and made him look at her. She looked into his intense violet eyes.
“I’m not.” She quickly placed her lips on his and kissed him just as he had kissed her a moment before. She felt him tense and then relax., she deepen the kiss, putting her complete heart and soul into it. He joined in the feeling. When it was over, and they released each other, they were breathless and almost wanting more but afraid. The mood was lost when,
Duo shifted and groaned, “Ouch.”
Hilde quickly got off his chest and moved to sit beside him. “Quatre said something about finding someone to doctor your wound. You have bullet still in it.”
“What about those goons?”
She grinned, “That you’ll have to ask Quatre. I just know you are here and safe for now, and that’s all that matters.”
He closed his eyes and willed the ache in shoulder away. “What about Yuy?”
“Shhh. We’ll worry about him later.” She left the bed and picked up his discarded clothes. She fingered the shirt with the bullet hole in it, then carried it to the bathroom. She pulled the stopper on the sink and stuffed it in, turning on the cold water. She waited till it was full and pushed it under the cold water till it was covered with water. The water went from clear to a pink in an instant.
“I don’t know if I can get this all out of here…..”
She stepped out of the bathroom and heard the door handle rattle. She reached for Duo’s pants and pulled the gun from the pocket. She held it up ready to shoot Heero if it was him. As soon as it opened and she heard Trowa’s soft voice, she lowered it, slightly embarrassed, that she was so jumpy. She quickly dropped it on the chair where Duo’s pants were laying.

“We found someone to help, Hilde.”
