Gone

Chapter 7

 
 
Duo pulled Hilde into the mall, leading her to the complex of theaters. The stood in front of the marquee looking at all the movies flashing by.
“Well, Babe, what would you like to see?”
She sighed as she watched all the names scroll down. She turned to him and grasped his arm. “You know, Duo, I really would rather just walk through the park with you.”
“Really? No movie?”
“No,” She said, as she looked at the marquee again. “But,” She sighed, “if you really want to we can, I guess.”
Duo looked at the Marquee, then at Hilde. He took her arm and pulled her from the mall.
“The park it is.”
He stopped, “Uh, which one, the one up here or the one by the river?”
“Surprise me.”
He nodded, “Ok, the river.”
As they made their way to the river on Duo’s motorcycle, Hilde wrapped her arms around his chest and leaned her head on his back. She closed her eyes and smiled, taking in the warmth of the boy she loved. She sighed a contented sigh as they pulled into the parking lot. Duo parked the cycle as she climbed off and waited for him. He reached down and took her hand and they walked through the park. The sun was dipping down toward the horizon, as they walked under the overhanging tree limbs. The shadows were falling along the paths making them long and distorted. He let go of her hand and pulled her close , wrapping his arm around her waist. Her thoughts went back to the meeting they had with Une.

 
//FLASHBACK\\

“I can’t arrest some one for hearsay! Or something you believe! You have to have proof! Do you have Proof?” She was practically screaming at them ”I don’t want you two back here again, until you have proof about this man And I mean real proof.”
“But, Commander!”
“No! OUT!”

“So, what do you think Commander Une thought?”
“When we told her our theory?”
“Yeah.”
“She probably shut the door and laughed her ass off.”
Hilde looked up at him. “Don’t you think it’s feasible?”
“Hell, yeah, Hilde! I know he and his little group of overbearing senators are behind this.” He looked at the setting sun. “The SOB has had it for Une since that Preventer mission where those Preventers were killed.”
“Yeah, I remember he was the first to scream bloody murder.”
“But, Babe, until we can prove it, no one is going to believe us. And I mean no one.” He turned back to her. “This guy has power and his daughter has infiltrated the Preventers. Who’s side is she on? Her fathers or ours?”
“Yeah, I don’t know ,Duo. I don’t even know the girl, but she has a huge chip on her shoulder, that’s for sure. I wonder who she’s trying to impress, her father or Une?”
“Maybe neither.”
“What?”
“What if she was in this for herself? Make herself look better, or her father look like a fool?”
“Wow. I never thought of that,” Hilde said, thoughtfully.
“We’re gonna have to find some evidence against him.”
“Would Heero believe us?”
Duo shook his head, “I doubt it. We are on our own, babe.”
Hilde nodded as they continued to walk.
“Hey, Hilde, would you like some Ice cream?”
She looked up at him and smiled, “Sure, I think I’d like that.”

Hilde and Duo slipped into the simulator room at 11:30, making sure no one was there. The machines we shut off and quiet. Hilde started flipping switches, listening to the machines kick in and start to hum. She looked up at the camera and spoke.
“Hilde Schibecker, Number 77481, reporting in.
“Confirmed.” Replied the computer.
“Duo Maxwell, Gundam pilot 02 reporting in.”
“Confirmed.”
The machines kicked into a higher drive and hummed louder.
“Do you wish to do battle as opposites, today?” The computer asked.
Duo shook his head as he typed in a response. Hilde watched as his finger flew across the keys. Her thoughts wandered as she watched his fingers, wondering how they would feel on her body. She lost still lost in those thoughts when Duo spoke to her.
“Huh?” She blinked and blushed, looking at him.
“Thinking about the battle?” He asked her, winking.
“Uh…….Yeah.” She lied. She gulped as she turned to the simulator trying to clear her mind.
She glanced over to the door as it opened. Megan sauntered in, looking smug. She had her admirers following behind.
She shook her head and grinned. “Well, are you ready for me to kick your ass, former Ozzie?”
Hilde snorted and turned to Duo ignoring the girl.
“Is it ready?”
Duo nodded, “Yeah, you girls get ready.”
Hilde nodded and pecked his cheek.
Duo reached up and grabbed her hand, “Good luck, Hilde.”
“Thanks, Duo.”
He winked at her.
“Oh, isn’t that sweet , the Ozzie and the Gundam pilot.” Megan sneered, “You could have something so much better than her, Maxwell.”
He looked over at her, “Who, you?”
She grinned and smirked.
“Hardly. I like my Ozzie girl. And I’m keeping her.” He glared at her, then let go of Hilde’s hand. He glanced at his watch. “Let’s go people. We don’t want to be caught.”
Hilde nodded and slipped on her helmet and climbed into the mae. Se. She adjusted her seat belt and punched in her code number. She waited for the screen to come up and waited for Megan to punch in the code she was using.
The screen came up and Hilde hit the virtual button, showing her the view through the cockpit. She waited until Megan fired the first shot. She dodged and returned fire. They fired back and forth, inflicting damage to each other. Hilde could feel the sweat run down her face. Her back was soaked. Her arms ached as she continued to battle with this girl. Suddenly she had an opening and she took advantage of it. She blasted Megan’s ms, pounding it to the ground. The score came up and Hilde was declared the winner.
She sighed and leaned back in her seat, reaching up to remove her helmet. She popped open the hatch and climbed out, tossing the helmet on the seat. She stopped as she looked up into the control room. She sighed and hung her head. They were in so much trouble. She squared her shoulders and stood tall. As she started to walk toward the control room, Megan stumbled out of her side of the simulator. She glared at Hilde and mumbled, “I’ll get you next time.”
Hilde shook her head, “I don’t think there’ll be another time.” She pointed to the control room.
“Damn it!”
She followed Hilde to face the wrath of the woman in the room.
“Cadet Schibecker and Cadet Norwood. What is the meaning of this?”
Hilde saluted and said, “Ma’am. It was a challenge. It’s my fault. I should have said no.”
Une waved her hand, “Cadet Norwood?”
“I challenged her because she was an Ozzie! They don’t belong here!”
“Cadet.” Came Une’s quiet but stern voice. “For your information, young woman, this “e” he” helped put an end to the war with her bravery.”
Megan Snorted, “Just because she wanted to bed a Gundam pilot.”
Duo cocked and eyebrow and was about to open his mouth but Une beat him to it.
“Cadet Norwood. What one does in his or her spare time is not our business. Our business is what is here at hand. Unofficial use of Preventer equipment. You will both be confined to quarters.” She turned to Hilde. “Yes, you are in the barracks, but I shall find you each a place. You will not go anywhere unescorted.”
“Yes, Ma’am.” Came Hilde’s reply. She glanced sadly over at Duo , who grinned and winked. She sighed, knowing he already had a plan to see her.
Megan stomped her foot. “You can’t do this! Do you know who my father is????”
“Yes, Cadet. I do and you are under my command not his.”
She snapped her fingers and two guards appeared. “Take them to the quarters I called you about. Keep them separated from each other.”
Hilde sighed as one of the guards grabbed her arm.
“Solder! There is no need to manhandle her. She is not a criminal. Just escort her to the room and stand out side the door. I‘ll send some one there in a bit to relieve you”
He dropped his hand from her arm and moved behind her and nodded as he gently pushed her from behind. The other guard did the same with Megan.
As she walked off with the guard she heard a laugh from Duo as Une tried to argue with him.
When they got to the room, the guard opened it and waited till she was in and had the light on before he shut and locked it. She looked back at it and then around the room. There was a laptop on the dresser. The room had a small bed and chair . She plopped down on the bed and put her hands behind her head.
“Damn it,” She mumbled .”Sorry, Duo. I should have said no. She was already mad at us and now it’s going to be worse. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
She rolled to her side and pounded her fist on the bed.
There was a soft tap on her door.
“Who is it?” She asked, softly.
“It’s me, let me in.”
