Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ A walk in the light of day ❯ a game of wits and war ( Chapter 5 )

Heero moved slowly through the halls of the Oz facility. It was midnight and he was planting microphones and cameras that he could use in his observation of this facility. This small off-branch of Oz was interesting, less politically based and more militant in nature. The way it looked this was a `Fuck politics lets kill everyone' type of place. Heero finished planting his microphones and cameras and quietly made his exit. He was doing all his monitoring from a small hotel not a mile from the compound, and as long as he made it look like he was just a tourist he was fine. Casual dress, sunglasses, and going into stores to browse where these military types spent time. This was a simple assignment.

Once back to his hotel he laid back on the bed. He turned to his left it was odd not having Wufei by his side. He reached to his right and picked up his cell phone.

 

Wufei sat in the living room his glasses perched upon his nose; book in hand, and sitting patiently. He was reading a book of Chinese proverbs and trying to work on his fresh cup of tea. Earl Grey was his favorite; two tea bags, two lumps of sugar, and one ice cube. The phone rang next to him and he picked it up and pressed talk putting his book down in his lap.

“Hello?”

“Hi Wufei.” Heero swooned.

“Heero how was your trip?” Wufei asked

“Wonderful so far, got everything set up and now I just need to take in the sights.” Wufei knew after Heero's statement what he was doing.

“Well I bet everything looks and sounds beautiful.” Wufei chirped up. “Take some pictures for me.” He smiled

“Don't worry I will. I'm going to get some rest now. Ai shiteru zutto.”

“Ai shiteru, zutto. Rest well Heero.”

“Night Wufei.”

“Bye Heero.” Wufei hung up the phone and smiled as he returned to his book.

Heero rolled over on his left side and yawned, he figured he should get some rest.

Tomorrow would be an interesting day. He'd be tailing the man who was in charge of the whole façade. His mission was to follow the leader of this offshoot of Oz his name was Xander, Jaymes Xander. Xander had been working on a plot to take out all the former leaders of Oz, and anyone else who would be privy to such information. Treize Khushrenada, who was already dead, others on the list Zechs Marquise, Anne Une, and other rebels who were not directly involved in Oz including Sally Po, and a few other high ranking political figures. If they got these figures out of the way it would be easier to promote their political beliefs without having to deal with any opposition.

 

Quatre smiled as he took the plates from the table. His eyes wandered over Duo, who was checking his bag to make sure he was taking everything he needed. “Promise to call us?” Quatre asked gently.

“When I get the clearance I will.” Duo stood and pushed his chair in slinging his pack over his left shoulder with ease. His intention was not to make them worry, but everyone worried about duo. Duo made his way out of the kitchen into the living room passing by Wufei. “See you later Wufei.”

“Where are you off to?” Wufei pulled down his glasses.

“Mission I'll be back,” Duo turned “Eventually.”

Wufei blinked at what duo had said; what was eventually supposed to mean? He wasn't sure but he shrugged it off casually. Getting out might do Duo some good. Hopefully it would help his spirit.

“Wufei?” Quatre walked in slowly. “How are you?”

“Good.” Wufei smiled at his young friend.

“Trowa is going to the store for a little while, would you mind playing a game of chess with me?” Quatre smiled and motioned to their little chess table.

“Allow me to get another glass of tea and it would be a pleasure.” Wufei loved chess; it was such a scholar game. The only true game of wits and war. Heero and Duo both crossed his mind at this point he worried for their safety.
