Breaking Away
Chapter 4
By Kit
A request fiction
AN: This happened during MY HEART IN YOUR HANDS- a little insert, but this is a
fic that will stand alone
Location: Africa
1700 Hours
Michael walked out of the
airport and into a taxi, giving the directions to the man- he had specifically
asked the airport to provide him a man who can speak slight English.
They reached the Foundlings land
and Michael saw the rubble that was once a building inside yellow tapes…
He had researched some more
inside the airplane, so he knows where the man- Frank Parks- lives… If there’s
anyone who knows where Dorothy is… it’ll be him…
The taxi moved on and then
finally stopped in front of a small well-maintained house.
"Thanks." Michael said
as he gave more than enough money to pay for his fare before getting his duffel
bag and his laptop.
‘Good, a doorbell.’ He thought a
little sarcastically as he pressed on it.
An African woman answered the
door and Michael gave a slight prayer that she can understand English.
"I want to see Frank Parks
please."
The woman frowned, "The
master?
"Who is it, Jyeade?" a
voice asked from behind.
The woman turned, "Someone
is looking for you, sir."
"I’ll take care of it."
Michael saw the woman give a
slight bow before leaving and a man in his late 40’s appeared by the door.
"Frank Parks?" Michael
asked, though he knows that this is the man from the pictures he saw on his
computer.
"Yes, that would be me. May
I ask who you are and what you need?"
"My name is Michael
Glessnor. I’m a friend of Dorothy’s and I’m looking for her."
Frank frowned as he opened the
door wider. "How did you know that she’s here?"
Michael gave a sarcastic grin.
"Amanda told me that she had a flight to Africa… Foundlings was bombed
today, and it wasn’t hard to put two and two together since I saw some threat
letters in her house…"
"Dorothy received threat
letters?!" Frank asked in surprise.
Michael frowned, "Didn’t
you know?"
"Dammit! I didn’t!"
Frank replied as he opened the screen door for Michael. "Come in Michael.
Tell me what you know."
Michael stepped inside. "I
don’t know much except that Dorothy is in danger… Now where is she?"
Frank sighed as he sat down on a
chair. "Probably in their hands right now… I’m hoping that she’s still
alive."
Michael nearly dropped his
computer, his heart nearly stopping. "WHAT?!"
Frank looked up at him.
"She left after 12 this afternoon… she said that she was…" his voice
trailed as he remembered the envelope he gave her. "Shit!!!"
"What is it?!" Michael
asked. He doesn’t want to think that Dorothy might be… No… she’s not yet… She
couldn’t be…
"I gave her an envelope
this afternoon, and right after that, she came out and told me that they were
asking for her…"
"Damn bloody hell!"
Michael shouted as his grip on his baggage tightened. "Do you know where
she went?"
Frank shook his head.
Michael closed his eyes… If he
thinks realistically… there’s no chance that Dorothy’s still alive… But he
doesn’t want to think that way… He’s going to find her…
He opened his eyes. "Let’s
go."
Frank blinked. "What?"
"We’re going to find
her." Michael said as he walked towards the door.
"Michael, they are
terrorists-"
"Yeah, and they just took
Dorothy! I’m not going to sit still and not do something about it!"
Frank’s wise eyes saw through
Michael’s anger and understood… "I don’t know how to fight, Michael."
Frank said sadly. "If I do, I’ll gladly go with you."
Michael’s eyebrow shot up. He
knows that Frank was a part of Oz and White Fang upon further research… but he
doesn’t know how to fight?
"I was in research during
the war. I was never good in fighting." Frank answered the unsaid
question.
"Can you drive?"
Michael asked instead.
Frank snorted, "Of course I
can."
"Then that’s all I need you
for." Michael replied before going out of the house.
Frank quickly followed, grabbing
another set of keys and led Michael to the garage.
As soon as they sat down,
Michael opened his laptop and showed the screen to Frank.
"Do you know where that
is?"
Frank studied the map and
finally nodded.
"Good, go there, but stop
about a mile away…"
Frank nodded and started the car
while Michael glanced up in the darkening sky.
‘Dorothy… Please God, I hope
she’s alright…’ he prayed.
~*~
Leaves crunched under their feet
as they walked through the forest, their way lighted only by the moon.
"Stop." Michael said
as he dropped to his knees and opened his laptop once again.
"What are you doing?"
Frank whispered from behind.
"I’m trying to locate
satellite frequencies… If they are using computers, which I think they are
because Dorothy said that someone hacked into Foundling’s files, then I should
be able to find an antennae, or satellite and locate it and tap into their main
systems…"
"You can do all
that?!" Frank asked in wonder.
Michael just nodded, intent on
what’s he’s doing.
Frank watched as pictures after
pictures showed itself on the small screen, finally a long line with a huge dot
appeared. Michael looked up.
"It’s right over
there."
Without even a word, Michael
walked towards a patch of bush. Frank followed and watched as Michael took out
a bush and revealed steel.
He reached Michael just in time
to see him take off a panel and play with the wires, connecting his own
computer. He wants to ask how he knew what to do but he didn’t as he watched
the sandy haired man type furiously and saw numbers and symbols appear on the
screen.
"Tapped in…" Michael
whispered.
Data appeared on the monitor,
and pictures of men in Oz and White Fang appeared. He didn’t even count…
Frank frowned. "What are
they all doing there?"
Michael kept on silent… ‘If a
group of old enemies are in one place, it only means trouble… what is your
mission?’ he asked, hacking in deeper into the files… Then, he saw it…
REVENGE
Pictures of Heero, Duo, Quatre,
Trowa and Wufei, then of Dorothy and Relena showed itself.
‘So they’re not only after
Dorothy!’ They’re also after the others… his friends!
Michael felt butterflies in his
stomach… He frowned as he made all 7 pictures come up on the screen… Relena’s
and Dorothy’s pictures have a red background while the others had black… could
it be because they’re girls… or could it be because… Relena was, after all,
announced officially dead a few days ago… He stopped himself, not wanting to
think of the same fate for his Dorothy.
"I’m going to tap into
their security system."
Frank didn’t say anything. He
watched as pictures after pictures of rooms, some with men in dark green shirts
and black pants, others without, and then, a picture of the clearing!
"Dammit! They have one
around here!" Michael muttered.
They looked around, and Frank
caught sight of a red blinking light. "Over there!" he whispered.
Michael followed the hand and
saw it. "I’m going to take it down. You stay here."
Michael stealthily moved through
the shadows and Frank watched as he reached the tree and climbed it. Then, the
red blinking light is no more…
A few minutes later, Michael
came back. He didn’t give Frank a second glance as he faced his monitor, intent
on finding Dorothy… Once again, pictures appeared on his screen and he almost
missed that one picture-
It was so dark that you can
barely see it, but on the floor, a form merging with the shadows… and golden
hair…
"There she is." Frank
whispered thankfully.
Michael gritted his jaw. They’ve
knocked her unconscious again… "Damn them all." He muttered in anger.
"I’m going down there to get her." He turned off his computer then
faced Frank. "But right now, I’m going to set these around first."
Michael took his duffel bag and opened it to reveal bombs, TNT’s and a remote
control.
Frank’s eyebrows shot up.
"How did you get that past security?"
Michael just shrugged as he
placed two guns with silencers in his belt, "I have connections." He
said. Yep… he sure does… He got all of these from Heero’s stash inside their
plane… Thank God for Heero’s always be prepared streak!
Michael was about to stand up
when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "I’ll do that if you want."
Michael looked at Frank,
"Are you sure you can do this?"
Frank grinned, "I was in
nuclear and bombs research. This is something I know best… Besides, you’re
going to waste time if you do this on your own. This way, while you get
Dorothy, I’ll be setting them up and it will be ready."
Michael nodded.
"Alright." He stood up, leaving the bag with Frank when he stopped
once again, reaching a decision. He stared Frank in the eyes.
"Frank, once you see
Dorothy without me… Take her out of here… And…" Michael swallowed.
"And bomb this whole place… Don’t worry about me."
Frank wanted to shake his head,
but he saw something in Michael’s eyes that made him agree, even against his
will. "Are you sure?"
Michael nodded. He’s going to
fight like hell to get her out… Besides, she’s got her own company and
Foundlings- a lot of people are counting on her… While him… he’s only a lazy
vice president… who doesn’t have anyone who loves him.
"You know the
perimeters?" he asked before going.
Frank nodded. "Got
them."
Then Michael left, going to the
location where his computer told him the elevator would be. He kicked a patch
of grass away and saw the metal dome with numbers. He punched in the numbers
that he got from the computer and a whirring sound started…
A minute later, a cylindrical
elevator appeared and opened…
‘This is it…’ Michael thought as
he took a deep breath and then stepped inside…
~*~
He stepped out into the
hallways, a gun already held in his hands… He tried to remember how Heero had
trained back then… Move with the shadows…
Michael tried to retain the base
layout information he had studied just a while ago and prayed to God that he
was going the right way… He breathed a sigh of relief as he reached the steps
that should lead to the cells without meeting anyone…
He checked the small barred
cells one by one and finally saw Dorothy’s form in the last one… As quickly as
he could, he typed in a few numbers, trying to gain access to open the cell…
‘Damn!!! Why didn’t I hack this
info out before!!!’ he asked himself as he typed frantically.
~*~
Ward leaned over the vid phone
an image of one of his men appeared.
"Check on the
prisoner."
The man nodded, "Yes
sir!"
~*~
Michael stopped himself from
shouting out as the bars swished open… He went inside and saw Dorothy lying on
the floor on her side, her long blonde hair covering half her body.
He kneeled down and tenderly
placed an arm under her neck and then brought her to his chest while brushing
her hair back with his other hand.
"Dorothy?" he
whispered as he rubbed her cheek. "Dorothy wake up…" he shook her
shoulder a little…
He saw a slight frown appear on
her face… "Dorothy…" he whispered once again… He can’t waste any
time… maybe he should shake her… but he just doesn’t have the heart to do it…
Dorothy felt the ache at the
back of her neck and frowned. Then, she heard someone whisper her name… She
knows that voice… Michael!
Her eyes opened wide and her
blue eyes met his hazel ones. "Michael?" her voice, hoarse, whispered
out.
Michael smiled down at her as he
kissed her forehead. "Hey, nice to those baby blue eyes again…"
Dorothy brought her hand up to
her temple. "How did you-"
"Ssh! No time for that now,
we need to get out of here…" Michael said as he stood up and then leaned
over to offer his hand. Dorothy reached out for him, happiness filling her as
the warmth of his hand encompassed her and he pulled her up…
‘I don’t know how you got here…
But I’m glad…’ she thought as she moved outside the cell…
Suddenly, Michael stopped as he
came face to face with a soldier. Dorothy nearly bumped into him…
Both their eyes widened, and
both reached for their guns- but Michael was faster as he brought his gun out
and pulled the trigger.
Dorothy saw the action but there
wasn’t anytime to waste as Michael pulled her. "Let’s go!!! If anybody
finds him, we’re dead!"
She didn’t listen to Michael as
she walked to the soldier and then took his gun. "No, Michael… I have to
stop this." then ran up the stairs.
"Dorothy wait!!!"
Michael shouted as he ran after her… ‘Dammit to hell woman!!! Why don’t you
ever stop to listen first!!!’
They disappeared just as the
soldier Michael had shot came through. He painfully stood up and walked towards
a panel, punching a red button before falling down dead on the floor.
~*~
Michael grimaced as he heard the
alarms and saw the lights flicker on and off… "Dorothy stop!!!
Dammit!!!"
Alarms…
He finally reached her and
grabbed her shoulder, shaking her. "Listen to me!!! There are bombs placed
all over the perimeter already!!! This whole place will be blown up!!!"
Dorothy’s eyes widened…
"Why the hell didn’t you tell me before?!"
"Because you didn’t give me
the chance!!!" Michael snapped back. Suddenly, his eyes widened as Dorothy
slanted her eyes and put her gun up to Michael’s face.
"What the-!"
BANG!!!
"Ungh!"
The sickening sound of a body
dropping made Michael turn around and saw a man on the floor. Then he turned to
look at a stone-faced Dorothy, grabbed her hand and then pulled her to a run.
"Let’s go!"
But they didn’t get any farther
as five more men appeared from either end of the corridor.
Michael pushed Dorothy into a
wedge in the wall, crushing her inside as he pushed himself in and started
firing at them, his aim straight and true.
He grabbed Dorothy’s hand once
again and pulled her to a run.
"Michael! Let go! We’ll be
able to run faster if you don’t hold my hand! I can fight too you know!!!"
Dorothy cried out as she pulled her hand away from Michael’s just in time to
bring her gun up and shoot at a soldier that suddenly appeared.
"Fine!" Michael
snapped back, already a little bit angry.
Dorothy felt her anger spark,
"Fine!"
"Fine!" Michael replied.
"Shut up!" Dorothy
cried as she dropped on to the floor, just as Michael did and shot one of the
soldiers in their way while Michael shot the other.
They stood up and Michael threw
down his gun, his bullets already used up, while he took the other one out.
More men came out from behind.
Both Dorothy and Michael started shooting at them.
"The elevator is just up
front!!! Get on it!!!" Michael ordered.
Dorothy stubbornly shook her
head. She’s got a score to settle with Ward, and by God, she’ll settle it!
"Dorothy!!!"
"Michael! Do you see that
man in the middle?" Dorothy shouted from above the shooting.
Michael nodded. He looked to the
direction they were supposed to be going and saw a dead end… other than the
elevator- the only exit in this hell…
"What about him?"
"He’s the leader!!!"
Suddenly, the hail of bullets
stopped…
Michael quickly grabbed
Dorothy’s hand and then ran towards the elevator… He knows for a fact that it
can only carry one person… But he’s only planning for one person to come up
first, anyway…
"Michael what are you
doing!!!" Dorothy cried out as the soldiers behind them started shooting
at them from behind the walls. "We’re in plain sight, damn you!"
Michael didn’t answer as he
reached the open elevator, pushed Dorothy inside, nearly making her collide
with the wall, and then pushed the close button.
Dorothy quickly turned around
just in time to see Michael’s serious face before the door closed.
Her eyes widened.
"No!!!!"
She heard the pinging sound of
bullets against metal… felt the elevator move and she looked around for the
control panel in panic.
"No!!! No!!!
Michael!!!!" she cried out in panic as she faced the door, giving up on
looking for the panel and started kicking it.
She almost fell forward when the
door suddenly opened and she saw the clearing she was in before but she didn’t
move out of the elevator as she turned once again to the wall and tried to find
the controls. Hands splayed, palm down, heart throbbing… but… no bumps or
anything!
"Damn you! Damn you! Damn
you!!!!" She muttered with as much venom as she could, trying not to think
of what could be happening to Michael…
She was suddenly jerked backward
and her hand instantly balled into a fist, ready to punch when Frank’s face
came to view.
"Dorothy!"
Dorothy stopped herself just in
time. "Frank! Help me!" she gasped out… Michael’s down there far too
long… in plain sight!!!
The ground shook and she heard a
muffled booming sound from below, increasing her panic.
"FRANK! HELP ME!" she
shouted in frustration.
Frank bit his lip… He felt the
ground shake… Trouble. He quickly grabbed Dorothy’s arm and started pulling her
away from the elevator.
"No!!! Stop! Frank!"
Dorothy cried out as she struggled against Franks’ hold. But she never knew how
strong her accomplice was… Frank’s hold on her tightened, and she was literally
being dragged away from Michael…
She gasped in air. Her throat
suddenly felt so thick. "Frank! Please stop!" she cried out once
again.
But Frank didn’t listen to her
pleading tone… He reached the jeep and pushed her inside… He has a job to do…
He can’t let Michael down… Not after he got Dorothy out…
He started the jeep, still
holding on to Dorothy’s arm because she tried to get out and started speeding
to a safe distance…
Dorothy suddenly felt her body
grow weak, aware only of one thing… Michael… He’s still inside… and they’re
leaving him! He might need their help!
Frank reached below his seat and
took out a handle with a single button just as Dorothy glanced at Frank to
plead yet once again… To plead as she had never in her entire life… but her
eyes caught sight of the button… She eyed it in confusion, and then she
remembered Michael saying that the whole place is…
Her eyes widened as she watched
Frank push the button-
A loud explosion erupted from
behind and Dorothy jerked forward, nearly banging her head against the
windshield…
Her heart stopped as she looked
back behind her and saw a cloud of smoke going up from the location they had
just left…
‘No…’ her mind cried out and her
breath came in faster… She shook her head slowly, her whole body suddenly numb…
It was as if something broke inside her as she saw that brown cloud of dust-
"NO!!!!" she screamed
out hysterically. "Turn this car around!!! Frank!!! I order you to turn
this around!!! NOW!!!"
Frank tried his best not to
listen.
A sob escaped Dorothy’s lips.
Michael.
"Please… Please… Please…
Frank… Please…’ Her body rocked but no tears fell from her eyes as she grabbed
Frank’s shoulders, trying to make him turn to face her…
He didn’t listen… He didn’t turn
around… Dorothy’s head slowly shook and her hands fell to her side…
A hump… the gun…
Her hands shook as she took it
out. She didn’t know what had come over her… Desperation? She didn’t care… One
thing she learned during the war… People values their life… She grabbed hold of
its handle and slowly pointed the barrel at Frank’s temple.
"Turn around now,
Frank." Dorothy said, her voice clear and cold.
Frank took a chance and looked
at Dorothy only to stare into the muzzle of a gun barrel…
He forced himself not to shake…
She wouldn’t do it… would she?
"You know what I can
do…" Dorothy threatened once again… She needs to get back there… Michael…
Frank didn’t turn around…
Dorothy pulled the trigger and
the sound echoed throughout the forest…
Frank turned around to face
Dorothy, his nerves shaken.
"The next time I pull the
trigger, the bullet will be in your head… Turn around."
Frank bit his lip… He’s no
coward… But he could see the pain in Dorothy’s eyes… And… there’s a chance that
there wouldn’t be any more danger… a chance that Michael might still be alive…
Against his will, he turned the
car around and zoomed back to the place they left.
~*~
She stared at the cracked ground
that formed a dip in the clearing… at the elevator that was standing a while
ago and now, fallen over… at the trees that are leaning, not standing straight
and tall…
Reality is hard to accept… But
reality is right in front of her… Nobody could have survived that blast… The
underground base is caved in…
She tried to fight against it…
She tried so hard and yet… she doesn’t seem to have the strength anymore…
Her vision clouded and she
closed her eyes as pain like no other numbed her to the core…
She drew in a shuddering breath…
Two streaks of warm liquid
trailed down on her cheeks, and a heart wrenching sound escaped her lips as she
fell on her knees and cried…
For the very first time, Frank
watched as the strong willed woman he had always admired sobbed in agony on the
ground. And yet, nobody could do anything…
"Dorothy…" Frank
whispered as he took a step forward. They need to get out of here… Sooner or
later, someone will come here… and if they see them, they’ll ask questions…
"Stay away from me…"
Dorothy whispered in a cold voice through her sobs. "Leave me alone."
"I…"
"Please… just leave me
alone…" she whispered, this time pleading… She doesn’t want to go… She
wants to stay here… Here where Michael is buried alive… Here where he had died…
Died saving her…
Frank’s heart ached for her… But
he turned around and walked towards the jeep to wait.
Dorothy opened her eyes as she
looked at the clearing once again…
‘Michael…’ she thought numbly as
she tried to envision his face… His words came back to her…
"I want to marry you,
make love with you, make a family with you and live to the old age with
you…"
"Liar…" she whispered
as she punched the ground. "Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar!!!" she cried out as she punched the ground
with each word…
Then… she stopped… She can’t
blame him… can she? So much anger, pain and sadness… So much that she feels as
if she’ll go crazy…
She doesn’t even have any
pictures of him… Nothing…
Nothing… Just memories…
His smile… his touch… the
comfort in his arms that she had once thought she didn’t need…
But she does need it… She needs
him…
Michael…
Those words had meant so much to
her… she had unconsciously looked forward to a future with him…
And now he’s gone…
She leaned over her knees and
touched her forehead to her fists on the ground as another sob escaped her
lips…
She didn’t ask for his help…
‘Damn you Michael!!! I didn’t
ask for help!!!’ she thought as she cried and yet deep inside her, she knows
that he did it for her…
"Dorothy…?"
Dorothy gasped as she heard her
name called out by a voice she’d never thought she would hear… She looked up
and saw, covered in dust from head to toe, Michael … hair mussed… blood
dripping down his arm.
She stared at him numbly…
"Michael…?"
Michael stared at Dorothy in
confusion… He could see her crying, and yet, wasn’t it only today when she had
said that she never cried… He was able to get out of the base through the
elevator right after he threw a grenade at the men… and he ran out of the
clearing as fast as he could. He felt the ground shake just as he heard the
clear explosion. But he wasn’t able to get out as fast and he was thrown into a
tree, knocking him unconscious while dust fell down on his body… He just came
to a few moments ago… and he wanted to be sure that the base was completely
destroyed… and he sees Dorothy here?
"I thought I told Frank to
take you away from here?" he asked in confusion… He doesn’t want to think
that those tears are meant for him… No, that will be hoping too high…
Those words snapped back the
reality in Dorothy… ‘Yes… you did!!!’ she thought in anger as she stood up in
blazing fury…
Michael watched as Dorothy walked
to him, anger radiating in her clear blue eyes.
Dorothy stopped just in front of
him, and in lightning speed, punched Michael on the jaw.
"YOU BASTARD!!! YOU
DAMNABLE IGNORANT BASTARD!!!" Dorothy cried out as she watched Michael
fall down on the ground from her punch.
Michael shook his head, trying
to stay awake… "Dammit Dorothy!!! What did you punch me for?!!!" he
asked as he looked up at her… He was nearly knocked unconscious!!! Again!!!
Dorothy stepped over him and
then sat on his stomach while she grabbed his shoulders and shook him while
more tears fell down on her cheek.
"WHEN DID I EVER GIVE YOU
POWER TO ORDER MY MEN AROUND!!!" Her hand rose up again, ready to give him
a hard slap, but Michael caught her hand…
She didn’t stop. "YOU
STUPID…" she sobbed as she felt his body under her… He’s alive… and yet
she couldn’t stop herself… "I thought you died!!! Dammit!!!"
Michael frowned in confusion…
Tears overflowed her eyes and
coursed down her cheek. "GO TO HELL!!! Damn you!"
Her whole body rocked. She couldn’t
speak as she tried to stop the sobs that escaped her lips and try to breathe…
Michael reached up to wipe away
her tears. "Dorothy, stop crying."
"Shut… up… damn you… just
shut up…" she whispered in between sobs.
Michael grinned up at her,
trying to make the matter light, "Hey, I thought you said that you never
cried?"
The joke seemed only to be lost
with her as she cried some more… Just a while ago she had thought that she will
never hear his voice any more and now he’s here making a joke of it all…
"Dorothy… please don’t cry…
why are you crying anyway?" Michael asked… "Can I help?"
An agonized cry escaped Dorothy
as she leaned down and placed her cheek to his chest… She could hear his
heartbeat… He’s alive… but she still couldn’t stop herself from crying… She
couldn’t…
"I hate you so much,
Michael." She whispered under her breath even if what she wanted was to
say that she loves him… That she couldn’t stand the thought of loosing him,
just as she had felt her world crash around her when she thought he was dead…
Michael couldn’t stop the grin
that formed on his lips as he wrapped his arms around Dorothy’s sobbing form…
She just said that she hates him… But with the way she’s holding on to him…
with the way that she’s crying over his chest… He knew… he knows that she meant
the other way around…
"I love you too,
Dorothy…" he whispered as he leaned down and kissed her hair…
Dorothy breathed in shakily as
she heard him say those words… Joy engulfed her, and she felt herself calming
down a little bit as she looked up at him after she felt his kiss on her hair.
"Don’t you dare do that
again…" she said almost as a threat.
Michael shook his head. "I
can’t promise you that because that’s exactly what I’ll do if you’re in trouble
again…" he said truthfully.
Dorothy stared into his clear
hazel eyes, showing all the love he has for her… "Then I should warn you…
I’m going to kill myself when that happens…" She looked away from him and
tightened her hold…
"Michael…" she
whispered, almost in a scared way… She is scared… This is the first time she’s
ever revealing so much of what she’s feeling… She’s scared and yet she’s also
happy… ‘I lo-"
She felt him caress her hair
while he placed a finger on her lips stopping what she was about to say…
"I know, love… you don’t have to say it right now…" he whispered then
he tenderly rubbed her back. "We have to get out of here… This place will
be swarmed with people pretty soon…"
Dorothy sighed as she
half-heartedly moved away from Michael and stood up. She’s thankful in a way that
Michael stopped her… It isn’t that she doesn’t truly love him… but it’s all so…
new…
Michael stood up and then
reached out to hold Dorothy’s hand… He knows that she still needs a little time
to get used to the idea…She’s so used to just doing things on her own… But
he’ll wait… And when she’s ready… he’ll marry her…
Although, he must have lost more
of his marbles when he was knocked into that tree… I mean, heck! He so badly
wanted to hear those words and he just stopped her!
‘Jezus! I’m a stupid fool…’
~*~
Frank’s eyes widened as he saw a
very much alive Michael, and Dorothy coming out of the clearing, then he shook
his head. Why should he be surprised? He should be happy for the two…
"Hey Michael… Glad you made
it."
Michael grinned. "Yeah…
Same here…" he answered as he helped Dorothy inside the jeep first and
then went on the back.
"Let’s go, Frank… we need
to get out of here." Dorothy commanded in her usual tone and Frank nodded.
Michael reached out and touched
Dorothy’s shoulder and Dorothy smiled as her own hand came up and touched his
while the jeep roared to life and moved.
Michael smiled a little bit… ‘I
wonder what Heero will think about this when he gets back with his wife… Ah
well… he better get used to the idea… coz I’m still not used to the idea that
he’s married…’
(AN: Hmm… well, if he’s not used
to the idea that Heero’s married… I wonder how he’ll react when he learns that
Heero’s going to be * giggles * you all know. Huh? ^_^ Well, that’s it for this
fiction… I hope you all liked it… And yes, I know that not all of you are
Dorothy fans- but this is a request fiction after all… E-mail me-Kit's Mailbox!
PS… I know some of you are going to be asking what will happen when Heero and
his wife finally meets Michael’s future wife- as for that I have no clue yet!
