The Ride

 
Chapter 7

 
 
Duo was sleeping comfortably as Quatre lead the doctor to the door .
“Are you sure you have to report this, sir?” Quatre asked, with great concern in his voice.
“It’s the law, young man. I have to report all gun shot wounds.”
“Can you at least wait two days?”
The doctor looked at the young man standing in front of him. He sighed, “Yes, I suppose I can do that. But please tell me why I must wait.”
Quatre turned to looked at Hilde who was sitting on the bed next to Duo . His eyes flashed to Trowa, then back to the doctor. “We are being hunted by a dangerous man , and I want to get a head start on him before he finds us.”
The doctor nodded. “I understand, but 2 days only.”
“Thank you, sir, that’s all I ask.”
Quatre and the doctor disappeared out the door.
Trowa looked at Hilde. “We will have to be going. We have a load to drop off or we don’t get paid.”
“Will we see you again?”
He nodded. “I’m sure you will.”

The room became quiet as Trowa closed the door behind him. Hilde sighed and laid down on her side beside Duo. The kisses they had shared had burned deep into her soul and her heart. She slipped one hand under the covers to rest on his chest. She could feel the steady beating of his heart and the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed. She slipped her other arm under her head and watched him. Her mind played through all the events that had happened in the last few hours, not days. The sun had not even come up to brighten a new day. She had been on the run for only 2 days. Duo had found her on the eve of the second day, cold and drenched. It didn’t seem like such a short time. And yet it did. Trowa had asked Duo if he had been loaded, and Duo had told him he had dropped it off and had a few days to get back.
Trowa handed him back his keys and told him where they had hidden his truck.
Duo moved slightly and groaned in his sleep. Hilde rubbed her hand over the center of his chest, trying to feel comfort in his closeness to her. She let her eyes slip shut as she slipped into blissful slumber.

Heero was pissed. Max was not answering his phone. He glared out the window and almost crushed the small cell phone in his hand.
Relena frowned and grasped his hand. It took both her hands to pry his fingers off the innocent phone and take it away from him.
“God, Heero. You need to lay off the caffeine . You’re gonna have a heart attack or a stroke.”
She put the phone on the seat between them. He glared at her.
She shrugged. “You really need to relax. “
“I don’t need you telling me anything.”
Relena shrugged. “Whatever.” She replied to his rude remark. She then turned to him, in a huff, “I don’t really care if you croak. I just want the bastard and my payback for what you did to my brother. Hell with love, Maybe I’ll kill ya myself.”
Heero frowned and moved slightly away from her intencity. Then he laughed out loud.
“What’s so funny?” She growled.
“You.”
“You’re an ass.”
She jumped as his hand was suddenly on her knee. “You amuse me. I think I like that. And besides, I think it will be me to kill you.”
“Of course you will.” She murmured softly to his reply.
“Truce?”
She nodded. “Truce.”
She was shocked at the next thing he did. He pulled her close and kissed her hard on the lips. After he released her, he sat back and looked out the window. She sat back in her seat, her fingers coming to her lips. Her eyes widened as she heard him muttered something about love and it’s consequences.
They then lapsed into a comfortable quiet, each lost in their thoughts.

Quatre climbed into the passenger seat of the truck. He glanced at the watch on his wrist. The sun would rise in a hour or so. He looked over at his partner. He watched as he took a big gulp of the coffee he held in his hand.
“You gonna be ok to drive?”
Trowa nodded and set his cup down in the cup holder. He turned on the truck and listened to the sound of the motor. “I’ll be fine, why don’t you sleep for a while.”
Quatre nodded. “ Ok.” Trowa shifted and started the truck for the on ramp.
“Do you think it was a good idea to leave them alone there?” Quatre asked, as he looked out the window.
Trowa glanced over at him. He couldn’t see his face but could her the concern in his voice.
“Duo’s a smart guy, Quatre. They will be alright. “
“Yes, he’s smart, street smart, but Heero Yuy is a dangerous man. I have heard things about him. I’ve heard terrible things about him.”
Trowa eased out into traffic. “I know but we have to have faith in Duo.”
“I know,” Quatre sighed.

The sus is in the west when the limo pulled into the truck stop.
Relena stretched as the car pulled up to the gas pumps. She reached for the door handle and opened it.
Heero grasped her arm. “Where are you going?”
She shook his grip and looked at him. “I am going to the rest room, unless you want me to pee all over this nice leather interior.”
He blinked at her crude remark, then nodded. He opened his door and stepped out of the car also. He looked around his surroundings noting the rigs and the autos . He also noticed Relena’s soft sway in her hips as she moved across the parking lot. He felt an odd feeling swell up in his center. He quickly clamped it down. He had no time for these feelings. He must find that girl and her protector.. Protectors and get her home before the old man got back. He didn’t want to give her over to him. He knew what would happen. He rubbed his forehead and hoped the old fool wasn’t hacking up too many woman. He looked round again and noticed the name of the motel. He was sure they were at the right place. Max had given him good directions. Heero waited patiently for Relena to return from the rest room. Leaning against the door black car. The driver had gone in and paid for the gas and was inside the car waiting for the both of them. After a few minutes, Relena came out of the store carrying a bag. Heero frowned at her, casually pointing at the bag.
She shrugged. “I was hungry.”
He looked at her.
She climbed into the car and sat down. “What? You didn’t stop anywhere so we could eat. It’s took us 12 hours to get here, and I was hungry.” She opened the bag and pulled out a bag of chips.
Heero put his hand on hers. “Not in the car.”
Relena glared at him but put the bag away. “GRRR.”
“We’ll get a room.”
“Fine.”
He instructed the driver to go across the way to the motel. With the car parked, he exited and opened the trunk.
“Get your gun.”
“Huh?”
“I know it’s not on your person. Get it.”
“Oh.”
He watched as she rummaged through the suitcase and retrieve her gun. “Put it on.”
She complied. Then, he took her arm and lead her to the motel room door they were parked in front of.
“Max is suppose to be in this room with Hilde’s protector.” He rapped on the door once. Nothing. He hit it harder. Still nothing. Finally he kicked it open. What they saw shocked them and brought giggles to Relena’s mouth. Heero glared around the room and raised his gun. He was not pleased. Not At all.
