As I had predicted H wasn't happy with me when I returned home. I could still feel the tingle on my lips from Duo's hard kiss though and I thought of it and how much I wished I could receive a few more while H ranted and threw things. S didn't seem to pay any mind to him and went through the canvas bag to put away the purchases. He always was the more mild tempered of J's colleagues and I could also see why H needed him around. Without S's calm demeanor H would probably trash the lab and blow up even more than he already was. I took all he had to say in stride, never allowing him to know I was focused elsewhere as he continued to rant and it was a long while until he calmed down.

 

“I can't have things going wrong anymore. We are running out of time. I don't know why our plans keep getting compromised but you better fix it ZERO!”

 

“There is a simple reason for it. The Foreign Minister doesn't take any chances when his daughter's life is put at risk. I have been able to stay close to her because she has my trust but her father puts his trust in many that could override any harm I could cause her. I would be taken out the moment they realized I was the source.”

 

“Then make sure you are below their radar.”

 

“Noted and already in effect.” I responded and saw S giving H a hard look. H noticed and glared right back.

 

“You have a problem?” H snorted.

 

“Not a problem exactly but more of an understanding to ZERO's response. There is only so much he can do and still remain undercover so I propose a different strategy.” S stated.

 

“Go on.”

 

“What if we strike the means of production to get those idiots attention instead of the Foreign Minister's assassination? Then we would both get the attention we deserve and also make them realize how powerful we can be. They'll have to listen to us and we can finally get rid of the bumbling idiots who make the decisions.”

 

“Excellent. I'll pull up the blueprints to WEI's headquarters and get started on a plan. ZERO you just might be able to redeem yourself yet.” H said and went to look through the thousands of files on his system. I had a bad feeling about just what he was planning and knowing H he would become more twisted at each turn.

 

It wasn't long that I was proven correct. With all the files and plans in place H and S dabble with a few contingency plans as I trained and met my specs for the day. There was something fishy about how the two were acting all day long and as I worked out I could pick up bits and pieces of their conversation. Most of the words that I picked out I realized had to do with a bomb. It was bad enough they were changing their plans but something was nagging at me in the back of my head. Something that I should remember but for the life of me I couldn't figure out.

 

There was some connection that I couldn't seem to get to and yet I knew it was important. Like an itch that needs to be scratched but you just can't reach it. As I tried to pick apart my head I realized I had an audience and stopped my reps.

 

“It's time we made some alterations ZERO. Come and fulfill what we need from you.” I had no choice but to or risk blowing my cover. As I walked to the back room, I felt like I was walking into a trap which I was even with no choice but to do otherwise. There in the center of the room was a bed with leather straps and harnesses. At first I almost turned away but my moment of hesitation cost me and I felt the needle pierce my skin before meeting the darkness that swarmed up to greet me.

A lot of time must have passed before I woke up feeling achy and cotton headed. My chest hurt for some reason and I reached up to touch it. The feeling of cloth bandages startled me and my eyes snapped open to see the truth for what it was.

 

They had operated on me! What did they do? Panic flooded my senses and I was ready to get up and make them tell me what they did when S's voice whispered in my ear.

 

“I wouldn't do that if I were you. Calm yourself and relax.” I took a breath and obeyed his soft words realizing there was no reason to fight if I didn't know what I was fighting. Turning to the voice, I looked at him sitting beside me and writing down some things on a clip board before looking to me again.

“There's a good boy. We installed an instant injection device to your heart. H was afraid the doses weren't helping you as much so he decided to do this method. I'm not fond of it but it's effective.” He sighed and looked away for a moment before smiling a bit. “This will ensure you succeed your mission or it will kill you. Fail and die. Succeed and live. That is your purpose now. J would approve of H's logic, but I don't as much as I want to be heard. I don't want it to cost you your life. Try to get some rest. You'll be leaving at dawn.” Then S left.

 

It was the most I had ever heard him speak or sound remotely sorry for what he had done to me. H, I loathed, but S was a person after all and I couldn't hate him. Even though this last mission might just kill me, I had to hope that it wouldn't, and even with that thought I knew H was very thorough nor would make a mistake. He wouldn't hesitate to get his plans to work by any means necessary. Letting my eyes close and my body relax I fell into a light doze and dreamed of my long haired beauty.

The morning came all too quickly and after getting briefed and armed I was on my way to WEI to meet my fate or success whichever came first. I took the longest routes I could going through town and back alleys looking like a businessman after S insisted so I wouldn't look conspicuous as I made my way through to the inner city. I was just coming around the corner when I the nagging started again but then right in front of me my brain finally connected the dots. Quatre worked at WEI!

 

I wasn't sure what he did but I knew now I couldn't go through with this plan. I couldn't kill my friends! They were the family I had never had! I had to get away. I had to leave here.

 

 

'Go into the building! Do what you came here to do!' A voice told me and my feet obeyed it! What was happening? 'This is your mission fulfill it or perish! You will see what needs to be done. Now GO!

 

I went and entered the building making turns and twisting out of peoples way until reaching the elevator to go to the center of the building. The bomb would collapse the top and then blast out the bottom. I would be successful. I would complete my mission this time.

 

'NO! This is wrong stop it! Another voice called to me halting my thoughts and making them listen to it. 'Throw those thoughts out the window! Don't kill the innocent. Disarm the bomb!' I scrambled to obey even as I exited the elevator only to come face to face with Duo.

 

“Heero.” Duo looked shocked to see me and even as the two voices clashed I couldn't move. “What are you doing here?”

 

“Obeying orders to blow up the building.” I stated and suddenly spasmed. 'No not now!'

 

“WHAT!? What do you mean blow up the building you can't do that!” Duo screeched but the voices were becoming worse and the pain was making my heart ache.

 

“I have no choice and it seems the doctors aren't taking any chances. They have a lethal injector of the drugs inside me. I don't do this I die. I succeed the pain stops .”

 

“So the innocent lives mean nothing to you?” Duo asked sounding scared. “I mean nothing to you?”

 

That stopped me and I stared at him knowing if I succeeded I would kill him as well as everyone else. I couldn't bear it. If I lived and he... I made my decision.

 

“Help me.” I begged.

 

“What? Help you what?”

 

“Help me focus and I'll disarm the bomb.” He nodded and tugged me to him. His touch was electric on my skin, but gave me a focus as I opened the suitcase and scrambled to disarm it. Duo's touch helped me focus and even as pain made my limbs shake I still disarmed the bomb as fast as I could.

 

“There. Help me toss it in case it has a secondary charge.” I told Duo who had to help steady me as I tried to get up.

 

“There's a fountain on that side of the building.” He told me as I picked up the bomb and we made our way to the window he pointed out to. My trembling increased as we walked to it and I almost dropped the bomb if not for Duo.

 

“Here, let me do it.” And snagged it out of my hand and opened the window to toss it out. I was both relieved and afraid when I didn't hear anything happen but didn't get to sigh at all as I suddenly felt a burning in my chest and all my limbs lost their sensations and I fell to the floor. “Heero!” I felt his hands cradle my face to turn my head to look at him. “Oh my gosh, you're burning up!”

 

I heard his words but I couldn't answer as my vision became dark and his beautiful voice faded away. My only thought lingering in my mind asked, 'Am I dying?'

 

TBC...
