Chapter 3

Someone opened the door a little while later. Joey looked up and saw that it was Billy. He had a tray of food for her.

He came in, shut and locked the door behind him and walked over to her. "I'm going to take these handcuffs off of you so you can eat this. Don't try anything stupid though." he said.

He put the tray of food down, and undid her cuffs.

Joey rubbed her wrists a bit and gingerly started to eat. `It's gross, but it's food.' She thought.

When she was done, Billy put her back into the cuffs, grabbed the tray and left.

Again she was left in the dark.

It was along time ago but when Joey and Duo were born, their mother died and they were sent to the Maxwell church. At the age of 5, a nice family wanted to adopt a daughter, but they didn't want a son. So, the family adopted little Joey. Duo was upset, and he ran away to find his sister. He didn't find her `til many years later when they were 15 years old. They met at school.

"Class, this is our new student. Her name is Joey Bailey. She's being switched from Mr. Ley's class." said Mrs. Anderson, the class teacher. "You can take the seat next to Duo."

Duo looked up. `Hey, she looks familiar. She looks like...'

"Hi." Joey said cutting off Duo's thought.

"Hi." Duo mumbled and watched as Joey sat down and took out her binder and pencils.

"Duo, can you share your math text book with Joey until she has one please?" Mrs. Anderson asked.

"Sure." said Duo, and he pulled his desk closer to Joeys'.

As Mrs. Anderson was teaching Duo kept staring at Joey.

"Why do you keep looking at me like that?" she asked.

"Well...it's kinda funny, but...you...you look like me." Duo replied.

"Yeah...I know that."

~*~*~*~*~*~

Joey chuckled to herself. She could remember Duo's mouth dropping open as he stared at her.

`That was rather funny.' She thought, then sighed as she looked up at the ceiling

~*~*~*~*~*~

Joey sat in the court yard eating lunch with her best friend Angel.

"And he looks exactly like you?" Angel asked, her blue eyes wide as she tucked a piece of long blonde hair behind her ear.

"Yeah." Joey said, "It was really weird. He kept staring at me through the whole class."

"Creepy." Angel said with a shudder.

"Maybe…" Joey thought out loud.

"Maybe what?" Angel asked as she took a bite of her apple.

"Well…you know I'm adopted…right?" Joey asked.

Angel nodded. "Yeah…you told me."

Joey sighed. "What I didn't tell you is…" she trailed off slightly.

"What? You didn't tell me what Joey?"

Joey bit her lip as she looked at her friend. "I never told you that…at the Maxwell church, I had a twin brother."

Angel's jaw dropped as her eyes went wide again. "No way…you've got to be kidding me."

Joey shook her head. "No…I'm not."

"And so…do you think. Are you saying that Duo's your twin brother?" Angel asked.

Joey shrugged her shoulders. "I dunno. I mean…everything points to it. We're the same age, we look the exact same…" Joey trailed off again as she thought.

The two were silent as Joey thought. `It can't be a coincidence. But I can't get my hopes up…'

Joey was broken from her thoughts by the sound of foot steps. She and Angel looked over to see Duo walking towards them along with someone else.

"Hey Joey…" Duo said, then fell silent.

"Duo, this is my best friend Angel Britton." Joey said, indicating Angel.

Angel smiled as Duo shook her hand, and then grinned at Joey. "Nice to meet you Duo."

"Yeah uh…this is my friend Heero Yuy." Duo said.

Joey and Angel smiled at Heero who nodded.

Duo cleared his throat. "Anyway…Joey…I was wondering if I could talk to you about something."

"Yeah, sure." She said with a smile.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Joey sighed as she stared out the window, tears stinging her eyes.

`That's when we found out…' she thought, `That's when we found out that we weren't alone anymore. His friend even paid for the blood test to prove he was my brother.'

Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she buried her face in her hands.

`Not to mention the few memories I had of the Maxwell church…and the pastor…'

Joey shook her head and wiped her face. "No…I shouldn't be crying." She said out loud. "I promised Duo I wouldn't cry anymore."

Looking out the window, Joey sighed. "Brother…I know you guys'll find me."

~*~*~*~*~*~

Duo and Heero were speeding down the highway. Heero, who was behind the wheel, looked tensed. Duo looked dazed.

`I should have told someone about my dream. This wouldn't have happened if I just told someone...like Heero. He would have protected her more. And I would have too. Fuck. Why the fuck now?' Duo thought angrily.

He didn't realise it, but he was now hitting his thighs with clenched fists yelling "Why, why, why!"

Heero looked up from the driving. "It's not your fault you know. It could have been easily avoided." He looked at Duo, who had stopped hitting himself and now just sat still. His violet eyes were glossy, and looked like he was going to cry.

"I heard that you were up this morning. You were mumbling something about a dream you had. Wanna talk about it?" asked Heero.

Duo looked at him awestricken. Heero never asked him if he wanted to `talk' about things. He took a deep breath and begun.

"I've had this dream before, and there's this girl in it and she takes Joey, so she can get to us. She slowly tortures Joey so she can get answers like who created the Gundams, and other stuff. But the thing is...she really doesn't know...or maybe she knows but she won't tell her. I can't remember it all...and I really don't want to. I just want to get Joey out of there."

Heero nodded silently when Duo had finished. A moment later he pushed his foot hard on the accelerator, going faster. He hoped that for Duo's sake, as well as Joey's, that they weren't too late.
