"Baby Series 2"

Delaying Tactics

“Hunter, have you assigned anyone to Stephen’s nursery?”

Milliardo’s voice came through the earpiece and Chang paused, glancing at his companion who was halfway up the stairs and hesitating.

“Negative. The family wing is secured and the nursery electronically monitored.”

“Trouble.” Heero muttered and took off running.

Wu Fei could only agree. If anyone made an attempt to access Stephen, Milliardo would very quickly revert to Zechs Merquise. His feet barely touched the steps as he raced after Heero.

“Do you have anyone moving on the main hallway monitors?”

Yuy cursed and threw himself off the stairs, knocking aside a dark shape lunging at him from a shadowed alcove. Chang bared his teeth and jumped, angling his body to present as small a target as possible as he came off the stairs.

“The feeds are negative for movement.”

//Security breach.// Wu Fei defended himself against the gleam of a knife blade.

Two men, intent on delaying him from reaching Milliardo and Stephen.

“Your security feed is compromised. I’m at Stephen’s door and someone went in ahead of me.”

If Milliardo was at Stephen’s door he should have been visible on the security monitors. Grating his teeth in frustration Chang dropped low and kicked, cursing his opponents skill when his attack was avoided. Yuy was dodging a fluidly graceful knife attack, his opponent moving with precision and skill.

They were professionals and their presence would mean a nightmare for the diplomatic corps if they originated from the Earth Sphere Council.

“Lock down the Palace and grounds. Orange alert status is now red. Milliardo, don’t you dare go in that room!”

//He might as well order the tide not to flow.//

Bone cracked as Chang flowed forward and up, coming in under a kick and his fist thundered into the upper thigh of his opponent. The man cursed and staggered backward, reaching to throw a vase of orange and white flowers at him in an attempt to slow his pursuit. Wu Fei swatted the vase aside and grinned at his opponent.

“Yuy! Chang! Move your arses!”

//They intend to delay us until whatever is happening in the nursery is finished. The intruder there cannot know what is happening here, so we have perhaps a minute or two before... No, Milliardo will not wait that long before striking.//

“Hurry it up, Chang.” Yuy grunted.

“Hurrying.”

“Milliardo?” Hunter’s voice growled.

Wasting his breath, Chang knew and it appeared Hunter knew it too. There was no further attempt to contact the King. Directions to household security began to stream across the headset and Chang knew the control unit had been set to all frequencies.

Alarm claxons set his opponent to cursing, throwing himself forward in an attempt to force Wu Fei back to the stairs. Not inclined to take the express route down he nimbly dodged to the side, delivering a thundering kick to the solar plexus. With a great woof of air his opponent tumbled down the stairs.
