Justice for Heero

Chapter 3

by Vel

The three ate in silence while the boy slept, though they knew that he could not

hear them, he seemed restless and they did not want to wake him until it was absolutely

necessary.

The meal stopped suddenly when Heero sat up violently and looked around the room

wildly as if he did not know where he was, he was disoriented and confused.

Duo was at his side in an instant; he held the boy at arms length and gave him a

small but firm shake.

Heero's Prussian blue eyes settled on Duo's worried violet and relief washed over him,

he threw his arms around Duo and buried his face in the crook of the braided man's neck.

Duo was taken aback for a moment before hesitantly returning the embrace.

Sally was beside the pair just then with a glass of drinking water for Heero who

took it gratefully, sipping the cool contents, slowly.

“Is he alright?" Wufei asked.

To everyone's surprise Heero looked directly into the Chinese officer's face and

nodded.

Duo grinned, he had hoped that Heero could learn to read lips if he were taught,

but it seems that the boy already knew how.

Sally confirmed his suspicions and asked Heero another 'yes' or 'no' question,

she asked if he wanted some breakfast. The result was the same, Heero nodded.

“Okay, boys, let's get Heero the breakfast he wants then get him to the office.

The sooner the examination is over the better. Heero can rest some more and

you; Duo can start working on your case."

The three men nodded and prepared to leave, sense Heero did mot have a coat

of his own, Duo loaned him his, using a heavy sweater for himself.

Once they were all bundled up, they headed out in to the cold.

Wufei and Sally got into their own car while Duo and Heero got into Duo's car.

Unbeknownst to all four people was the dark figure lurking on the very same

porch that Heero was camping on the night before.

The figure smiled when he spotted the boy with the dark brown hair getting

into the beat up little car. “Gotcha." the he whispered, plunging his cold hands

deep into warm pockets and hunching his head down to block the chill. The lone

man walked against the wind and out of sight.

After stopping a Carl's Jr. [1] to pick up Heero's breakfast, Duo drove them both

to Sally's office.

Sally had gone ahead and dropped Wufei off at the station and was already in

the parking lot waiting for them when they arrived.

It was early Sunday morning and the office was closed, but they still felt it best

to do the exam now then wait until Monday when the office was usually open.

Sally smiled and ushered them into the ' employees only ' entrance and down

several halls before stopping at the door of one of the exam rooms and pushing

the door open , letting them inside.

“Alright, Heero," Sally began, making doubly sure that Heero could see her lips.

“I need you to take off your clothing and put this gown on; I'll be back

in a minute." Sally handed the soft cotton hospital type gown to Heero and left

the room, giving him privacy.

“Would you like me to help?" Duo asked when Heero began to remove his shirt.

Heero shook his head no and Duo turned so his back was facing the boy, he did

not want to see that battered body again.

Heero made an indefinable noise that sounded a lot like ' hn' to signal that he

was done.

Duo turned back to him and smiled, taking Heero's clothes and placing them on

the chair that was next to the examination table that Heero was now seated on.

Sally returned a few moments later with a camera.

“Don't worry, Heero. This won't take long." Heero nodded and Sally began her exam.

About a half of an hour later she was finished, notes written and pictures taken.

She was relieved to learn that most of the wounds on Heero's body were superficial,

only damaging the skin and the underlying muscles, they hurt like hell and took

a while to heal but there would be no permanent damage and nothing that needed

emergency treatment.

The hearing loss, she determined to be a birth defect.

The ear canal was sealed and there was no scaring. She had seen this

before and knew that there was a surgery that could be done, it had a 70%

success rate and was not very expensive.

Heero was tired after all the tests and really wanted to sleep so Sally told Duo to

take him back to the apartment. She would shop after she studied her findings

then stop by later this evening.

Duo breathed a sigh of relief, he could tell that Heero was getting tired and hoped

that Sally was almost done, he was grateful when she mentioned shopping and thanked

her. He helped Heero dress then took him back home.

Neither noticed the man watching them for the second time that day.
