~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was checked out of the zero system, but tonight I
just needed my bag of tricks and the motorcycle. I didn't felt the need to
fly Shadow for such a small excursion to an Ozzie base so close by. I was
going to blow the place sky high after retrieving some information Rachel felt
would be useful. No problem for me, a quick and easy exercise to loosen me
up after the simulator.
I packed my bag, just enough C-4, detonators, Uzi, and
seven clips. I then dressed, a black cat suit. Rachel's idea, I'm
not sure if it matters what I wear; but I think she likes the idea of my running
around in the thing. Next was the belt and holsters, two colt 45 service
pistols I'd stolen on earlier missions. Nice gun, I figured the corpse
they belonged to would no longer have a use for them, so I took them. And
attached to my calf was my knife I had taken to kill Socrates, my abuser from
training. I don't really like the knife, but it is always a to have back
up weapon in case a gun runs out of ammo or your in an area where a spark would
be a bad idea.
"Take care. Remember, I don't need every
piece of information in the OZ base, I just need the info. From the files you
can't access easily. I'll work on the zero system." Rachel lend
close to me as I prepared to jump out the window and gave me a quick kiss of the
check.
"I'll be back in the morning. If I'm not, I
left a pistol for you. I'll be back in time for breakfast." I
jumped out the window and went to the area where my bike was hidden. There
is nothing like riding in the middle of the night with no lights on, such
freedom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ann didn't come back. The sun was rising and Ann
wasn't back from her mission. Rachel would wait another ten minutes before
she shot herself, just to be sure.
Ten minutes passed and still no Ann; Rachel put the
pistol to her head. The gun shook badly in her hand and she heard herself
sobbing. She couldn't find the strength she needed to pull the trigger and
she put the gun down. 'NO! God no, she's gone. She's gone and she
left me here alone.' Rachel put her head in her hands and cried.
It was time for class and Rachel found herself
going. She walked in the classroom and sat down in her sear next to Carol.
"Missed you at breakfast Rachel. Where's Ann? What's
wrong?" Carol was a chatterbox. Ann thought of her as the
female Duo Maxwell, but Rachel liked her.
"I'm fine. Ann was sick during the night and
I spent the night taking care of her. She's sleeping right now."
"Why didn't you take her to the clinic?"
"She hates doctors. Besides, it's just a
cold. All she needs is some rest."
The day continued like that, Rachel telling people that
Ann was sick; no she didn't think they needed to come by the room, and that
tomorrow she was sure the Ann would be in class. She even went so far as
to get the homework assignments for Ann. Miss Noin, one of the Relena's
assistants at the school was very concerned for Ann, want Rachel to tell her if
Ann wasn't feeling better when she got back to the room. Rachel for the
first time noticed that the gundam boys and Noin spent a large amount of time
together, talking. She wondered about Noin. She remembered that
there was a Lt. L. Noin in OZ, Victoria Base, an instructor. She felt
uneasy suddenly and in the middle of lunch left to go to her room.
As she walked to the room she saw blood pools on the
floor, partly coagulated, but still very liquid. The handle to her room
was covered in blood, and the door wasn't locked. She entered quietly and
carefully.
When she fully entered the room she saw Ann on the
floor in a pool of blood, breathing shallowly. She ran to be at her side,
running her hands of the length of Ann's body. Finding an entry wound in
Ann's left thigh, shrapnel wound in Ann's right lower back close to the kidney,
and smaller wounds along Ann's back. The large wound at the kidney had
Rachel worried. She needed an operating room, O+ blood and maybe a new
kidney for Ann. She felt frantic, felt herself start to cry when Ann
reached out a hand to Rachel's on the floor
'She's still alive. I can save her.' Rachel
thought then went to the gundam boys. She needed their help. She ran
to the dinning area and only found Quatre. She dragged him with her, her
hands covered in blood and leaving stains on his shirt where she had grabbed
him. As she pulled him down the hallway in the direction of the room she
was stopped by Noin.
"What is the problem Rachel?" Noin
spoke softly, but she still felt Rachel feeling nervous.
"Nothing, I'm fine." Rachel continued
dragging Quatre with her as she made her way to the room.
"Quatre, can I help you?" Noin was
still in the way. Rachel rarely felt like being violent, it wasn't her
way. But, Noin continued to delay her.
"He's fine. We're all fine. Now, get
out of my way." She released Quatre so suddenly that he stumbled to
the floor and Rachel tackled Noin. Noin was prepared for such a reaction,
but she didn't understand why the quiet, sweet Rachel was acting in such a
way. Something was wrong, and where did the blood that coated her hands
and marred her clothing come from?
"If you need help Rachel, I can help you. There is no need for any of
this." Noin continued to dodge Rachel's attacks. Then suddenly
Rachel was just staring at the entrance of the girl's wing. Ann was there,
blood everywhere but still holding a gun out at Noin.
"You leave her alone." Ann knew she
wasn't strong enough to pull the trigger and hit her target, but she was hoping
Noin couldn't figure that out.
"Ann, what are you doing?" Rachel ran
to her side, pulled the gun from her hand and then helped her to the ground.
Noin turned to Quatre, "you know what's going
on?"
"Rachel just came and grabbed me, telling me she
needed something from me. Then you came along." Quatre was
visible shaken to see Ann, who he barely knew, in such a state.
"Quatre, go get Heero and Duo. Tell Relena
that we're going to be in the basement for a while. Rachel, I'm going to
help you. I need you to trust me. I can get a doctor to help
Ann. You must know that she needs medical attention."
"Noin, all we need is several pints of O+ blood, a
operating room and maybe a new kidney." I can take care of
her." Rachel was trying to comfort Ann by petting her hair, but Ann
was unconscious by now, too much blood lose.
"You can't possibly be able to help her Rachel, we
need a doctor." Noin was making progress up the stairs to where the
two sat.
"Noin, I am a doctor. I'm her doctor, I've
set more broken bones, stitched her together and even repaired arties in
her. I'm not just some schoolgirl, I'm 21. I've been trained to take
care of her; you aren't allowed to take her away from me Noin. Besides,
I'm the one with the gun." Rachel picked up the 45 from where she had
put it on the ground and pointed it at Noin.
Noin stopped dead in her tracks and stared at the
two. She had felt that these two weren't your average schoolgirls, but
they weren't like the gundam boys either. "Okay Rachel, but let me
help you. There is a place where you can operate and I can get you the
blood. I don't know about the kidney. But, if the other one is
health than she can live with only one."
"The other one was removed four years ago by
Socrates. She needs a kidney." Rachel stood up, and pulled Ann
up with her. She was forced to carry Ann in the fireman's carry, hoping
that she wasn't just shoving the shards of metal and plastic further into
Ann. Ann was still unconscious. That worried Rachel, Ann usually
didn't pass out.
Heero and Duo showed up in time to watch Rachel refuse
Noin's offer in carrying Ann. The amount or blood on the floor was
disturbing, and the trail that was being left had to be cleaned up before the
girls of the school saw it, Noin asked Heero to clean it up. He 'hned' at
her and then went to it. Duo was looking a little pale, but he showed
Rachel and Ann into the basement, which was the hanger and operations base for
the Sank Kingdom.
"For a place that doesn't believe in fighting, you
sure do have a nice armourments." Rachel was using her mocking tone;
she was in a bad mood. Ann was unconscious and the thought of what had
happened to get her into this sort of state made her feel a little sick.
"Relena doesn't believe in fighting, that doesn't
mean there aren't people who won't fight for her." Duo just continued
until they were in the operating room.
Rachel laid Ann on her stomach on the operating table
and then set to striping her. The cat suit was a little difficult to take
off and Rachel finally resorted to using the knife Ann had still strapped to her
calf. She then started an IV with saline fluid. She knew that there
was a limited amount of O+ blood around and all she really wanted to do right
then and there was get Ann's blood pressure up to a point where she could
operate with out worrying about her slipping under.
Rachel then set to cleaning the areas where she would
need to operate, the burns, the left thigh, the right lower back and the smaller
wounds on the back part of the back. It was around this time that Ann came
to. Ann always was able to wake up quickly, but with only saline pumping
in her system she felt light headed.
"Rachel, belly." That was all Ann was
able to get out. Her vision was poor and she hoped that it was in fact
Rachel taking care of her. She could see that there were other people in
the room, she wondered who they were and suddenly wondered where she was.
Before the thought of being in a bad area, Ann was unconscious again and Rachel
was rolling her over to see what was the matter with her belly.
'No, not a belly wound, it's not a belly wound.
She wants me to check the belly pouch.' Ann, when she was young and
stilling training, had add an extra flap of skin that was best likened to a
marsupial's pouch, only it wasn't filled with muck. Here Ann could store
small items, like disks or piece of paper with little fear of people finding it
without a through search.
There in her pouch as a disk, with the words 'no
access' written on it. Ann had found the files, downloaded them, but had
not had time to access them yet. Finding out what information this disk
contained would have to wait, Ann need attention.
