~*~ Chapter 6 ~*~

Heero rubbed tiredly at his stinging eyes. The screen in front of him blurred for a second and then cleared. He was tired, but he wasn't about to give up his search. Sitting back, he closed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair. He had been searching for any trace of Duo for two days straight, only breaking when Quatre forced him to. But, usually as soon as the blond pilot left the room, he was back again in front of his laptop digging for any trace he could find. So far everything he had found had been a dead end.

Trowa and Wufei both were still looking, Trowa had contacted Duo's friend Howard to see if he had seen him, but to no avail. Howard hadn't seen Duo in months, neither had Hilde, who Wufei had called. Both said that if they heard anything that they would let them know.

Leaning forward again, he began typing softly, trying to break the code that Duo used to encrypt all of his mission messages.

"Heero." called a voice from the door.

He looked up to find Quatre walking in carrying a tray, looking up at the clock he found that it was morning again. 'Three days now.' he thought

"Were you up all night again?" Quatre asked gently as he slid the tray onto the desk next to the laptop. "You have to get some sleep or you won't be able to help Duo. Here eat something and then take a nap. I can try my hand at breaking the encryption."

"No, I'm better at it. Thanks though Quatre." Heero yawned involuntarily, his jaw popping audibly. He looked back up to see amusement dancing through Quatre's eyes.

"What's so funny?" he growled.

"Oh, nothing. It's just nice to see that you aren't always the perfect soldier that you try to appear to be. Now, eat while I work on this." Quatre said as he shoved a plate under Heero's nose and slid the laptop off the desk and into his lap.

"Hn." Heero mumbled around a bite of his breakfast, his eyes watching blearily as Quatre typed on his laptop. He almost dropped his plate when Quatre shouted.

"Hey, I got it." Quatre whooped happily as he furiously typed some more and then leaned forward to read quickly.

"What does it say?" Heero asked his finger's itching to snatch the laptop from Quatre to find out himself.

"Now I understand why Duo didn't want to tell us about this mission. It is definitely a dozy." Quatre said as his eyes widened when he got to the bottom, a low whistle escaping his lips. Heero, no longer able to contain himself, snatched the laptop from Quatre and read the message. A shaft of fury pulsed through him at the thought of Duo doing this mission alone. The doctors had some nerve expecting just one pilot to be able to handle this. Quickly flipping the laptop closed he stood up, intent on going to retrieve Duo.

"Where do you think your going Heero?" Quatre said quickly as he watched Heero grab his pack off the floor.

"Trowa and Wufei will not be able to get to him in time, they are too far away. But I should be able to get there in time from here." Heero said as he turned quickly towards the door. He swayed as a wave a dizziness swept over him, unaware of Quatre's arms as they steadied him.

"You are in no condition to go help him Heero." Quatre said as he helped the other pilot over to the bed and laid him down. Prying his fingers apart, he removed the pack and set it down gently by the bed.

"What do you want me to do Quatre? Sit here and let Duo commit suicide?" Heero said, his cobalt blue eyes filled with pain.

"No, I will go. You stay here and rest." Quatre said firmly as he stood up and turned to leave.

"Quatre. . ." Heero's voice stopped him, turning he looked back at the other man. "Thanks." he said grudgingly.

"No problem Heero. We all care about Duo and won't let anything happen to him. I promise you that I will bring him home." Quatre smiled softly and then hurried out of the house and to his gundam.

"Duo, just hang on until we get there." he whispered softly as the hanger doors opened and he ran inside to get Sandrock.
