Across The Winds

Chapter 3
Zeros Lost Soul



As it turns out, Duo?s idea of help was sitting in a truck while he signed papers with various scrap and part dealers. ?Only one more left.? Duo said getting in the truck. They drove to the next stop and duo hopped out and repeated what he had done at the last five stops. They were there for only a short while.
?That didn?t take nearly as long as I thought it would.? Duo let out a heavy sigh. ?That was supposed to last me the entire week I was supposed to be here.? He started the truck and the started driving back to the hotel. They stepped into the Spartan cheap hotel room. ?Do you mind leaving a little earlier then originally planned??
?I?m paying by the day, so, we can leave today if you want.? Heero said in a low tone.
?Nah, let?s leave tomorrow, I?m going to see if I can meet up with a certain bartending waitress tonight, if ya know what I mean.? Duo said with a playful grin and a nudge in the ribs.
?I?ll see you tomorrow morning then, I?m going to see if I can locate a few things before we leave.?
?See ya tomorrow then buddy!? Duo said with a wave out the door.
Heero set out to see if he could locate a few banned mobile suit items, as he had been rebuilding Wing Zero. He would have it shipped to him after he landed on L2.
The next morning, Duo walked into the hotel room with a happy look in his eyes. He found Heero awake, dressed, and already packed ready to go. ?Man, she was something last night, I?ll tell ya, and in bed, WOW!? Duo had a lustful emphasis on ?wow?.
?Are you ready or not, Duo?? Heero asked with a slightly disappointed look about him.
?Stuff?s out in the truck, ready when you are.? Heero threw his bad in the back and they set off for the spaceport. The line to leave Mars was relatively short considering all the work to be found there. They were on their shuttle in no time.
Duo?s persistent poking in the ribs awoke Heero. ?What is it Duo?? He asked with his eyes still closed.
?We?re there.? Heero opened his eyes and looked at Duo as if he had gone mad.
?What are you talking about??
?You slept nearly the whole way there. It?s almost time to get off the shuttle. You were muttering something in your sleep, something about a little girl or a dog or something? mean anything to you? Duo looked at him quizzically.
?No.? Heero uncrossed his arms and stood up. ?Don?t ever mention anything about that to me again.? Heero said in a monotone to Duo.
?Alright, alright. I won?t say anything.? They left the shuttle and Duo showed him to his car in the parking garage. The ride to the scrap yard was short, They pulled into the driveway of a small home by piles of scrap metal and parts, a garage in construction, nearly finished, sat off to one side in front of the piles of metal. ?Welcome to my humble abode!? Duo said with a grin.
?Duo!? A short black haired girl came running from the scrap with a smudge of grease across her right cheek and a rag over her left shoulder. She jumped and hugged Duo. ?You?re home early!?
?Yep, and I found that help we were going to need with the shop.? Duo stepped aside revealing Heero behind him.
?Heero, right?? Heero nodded. ?You never were one to talk much.? Her eyes seemed to linger on him as she turned her head to look at Duo, finally her eyes went back to Duo and she smiled. ?Well come in, I?ll make you boys something to eat!? She piped.
After a good meal of large sandwiches and chips, Duo leaned back and patted his stomach. ?No matter where I go, you all ways make the best food Hilde!?
?Thanks.? Heero said plainly.
?Your both welcome. So, Heero, do you have a place to stay??
?No, I was about to leave to find a hotel or something to sat in until I find something more permanent.?
?You mean Duo didn?t invite you to stay here? Shame on you Duo!?
?I?m sorry, I forgot that we cleared out that storage room and ??
?Oh, don?t worry about it.? She turned to Heero. ?What do you say? Want to stay here?? She looked hopefully at him.
?At least until I got on my feet.? At that, Hilde seemed to brighten a bit.

The only way I could think of for this to be better is longer chapters. But its good so far.
