It was a thought that nagged. I didn't know Wufei understood the meaning of the word "affection" and now he's protecting that girl like she's his first born child... Or, I guess, for Wufei, his sword. Where am I going anyway? Duo looked up to find that he'd wandered for eight blocks in his musing. Fortunately, that put him exactly where he wanted to be.
He pulled out a bright red vid-comm card and swiped it through the reader. The screen prompted for a number. Duo punched it in and waited.
A dark skinned man answered with a rude, "Oy?"
"Hey, Aziz. Can I speak to the main man?" Duo grinned maniacally into the camera.
"You again?"
"Aw. C'mon, Aziz. You know I love you."
The dark man frowned back. "I know you love to get the master into trouble."
"Peace, Big Guy. I just want to talk to him."
Aziz frowned in concentration. "That had better be all."
"It is. Honest." He cocked his head at an angle and batted his eyelashes.
He frowned and then turned his head. "Master Quatre! Vid-comm!" he shouted.
"I see your communication skills are still top notch."
"Dry up and die, American," was Aziz's parting shot.
"Hello there, Duo," came Quatre's sweet voice before he had made it into the camera's view. "It's been a while."
Duo laughed. "It's been, like, six days. You that bored over there in the desert?"
"Unfortunately," he said with a sigh. "Or, I guess, fortunately. Nothing bad is happening at the moment anyway. But here you are."
"Ouch! I'm not the harbinger of doom, you know."
Quatre laughed. "All right, Death. What can I help you with?"
Duo did his fair best to appear serious. "What would you say if I told you that at this very moment Wufei was in my house cuddling with a girl?"
"By 'girl,' you mean 'of the female persuasion?' And by 'cuddling,' you mean 'cuddling?!'"
"Bingo!"
Quatre rubbed his forehead. "I'd say you need to lay off the quadruple-espresso a la mode and any perscription or non-perscription drugs you might currently be indulging in. However, I know you wouldn't lie about that. It's just too unbelievable."
"Believe, buddy, 'cause it is so true."
"Okay, so what's the topping on this unexpected sundae of shock?"
Duo explained as succinctly as possible, ending with, "I was wondering if you could cross-reference the name 'Tinkerbell' with London, OZ and New Britain to see if anything comes up. I figured you'd have better resources since you're still on Earth."
"Not a problem," replied the blonde, jotting down some notes. "But, Duo?"
"Yeah?"
He clasped his hands together and grinned innocently. "Can I be the one to tell Heero? I've just got to know if this will crack that demenor of his."
Duo genuinely smiled. "Sorry, man. Dibs!"
