One Night Halloween Drabble 5
I sighed as I went over the plans in my head one more time. I had reported in this morning as I was supposed to do- told them that I had offered Heero an escape and been refused.
I hated playing a double game like this. I knew Heero had angered our employers, but this game of cat and mouse was not the way to punish him. I still couldn't believe they'd partnered him with one of the Orphans- and the worst one at that. I'd heard stories about Maxwell that made even me flinch.
Heero was not going to survive. There was no way he could. Maxwell was going to snap and kill him. I knew Heero had some unusual training, but he was no match for Maxwell.
Maybe I should help him leave for real. If I could just figure out a way...
Someone knocked on my door.
I wasn't expecting anyone, hadn't called room service- so who was it? Putting a hand on the gun in my pocket I went and checked the door.
Maxwell.
What was he doing here? Had he killed Heero and expected me to clean it up?
I opened the door quickly.
"Sorry to bother you," he said with what I would've called a shy smile on someone else. "I just came to get something."
"Get what?" I asked carefully.
He looked sheepish and for a moment I wondered if everything I had heard about him was true. It just didn't work with the man in front of me.
"I can't say it in the hallway," he said softly and so I stood to the side. He walked in and headed right for the bed. What was he doing?
He dropped to his knees and slid his hand under the bed. "It was right.... Ah! Here it is."
A moment later he was on his feet again, a small tangle of wires and fuses in his hand. A bomb? When had that gotten in here? Wait- he said he left it? Was I supposed to die? Had I ticked the Org off?
"Sorry," he said with a smile as he dropped the bomb into his pocket. "I thought you were here to take Heero away."
"No," I replied without thinking. "The Org wanted me to test him."
He nodded. "Yeah, bet they're pissed I haven't killed him yet." He headed towards the door.
"Are you going to?" I asked. I couldn't help it.
"Oh no," he shook his head. Then he turned and looked at me over his shoulder. The look on his face made me believe every story I had ever heard about him. My throat went dry and I swallowed hard. His voice was soft, but the tone was steel: "He's mine now."
Then the expression was gone and he was smiling again. "Sorry about the mix up!" He said, and left, closing the door behind him.
I sat down on the floor, right where I was, my legs no longer capable of holding me up. I hadn't realized how close I had come to death. I looked at the bed and decided to call down to the desk and ask to change rooms.
Better safe than sorry...
