"Baby Series 2"

Pitch And Toss

Duo cocked his head to the side listening to the radio. Peering out of the window he determine unless the man was unlucky he should not have suffered any fatal injuries. They were, after all, on the first floor, though he would be upset if he had killed the man.

People who snuck into palaces with nefarious intentions deserved what they got. He thought there might be the odd broken bone and maybe a concussion… if the fool had not broken his neck. The orange he had thrown had bounced off his target and lay near his feet.

Leaning through the window he watched as the first guards arrived.

“Maxwell here. Is he alive?”

One of the guards kneeling over the body looked up and waved a hand, nodding. After a moment the man’s voice came over the radio.

“Intruder down. Ambulance required on the East side of the building.”

“Request for medical assistance logged. Assistance is en route.”

Duo flinched slightly as a crackle in his earpiece alerted him to his radio channel being adjusted. “Did you have to pitch him out the window, Mr. Maxwell?”

“Hey, he was getting away. Anyway, I never pitched him out the window. I only tossed a piece of fruit and the orange did the rest. Can I help it if the git has a shitty sense of balance? Anyone with that bad a head for heights should not be hanging out of windows.”

Hunter sighed. “You hit him with an orange?”

“Hey, I keep telling you I work best when I improvise.”

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

Duo froze, his attention focusing on the well-known voice.

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

An sudden itch between his shoulder blades had Duo pulling himself in the window.

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

//Shit. Damn, I know what he’s going to do.// Duo was already heading for the door.

“The feeds are negative for movement.”

//Our security is compromised. Damn it all to hell, someone will pay for this!//

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

//Crap! Zechs is no idiot but he sure as hell will get some shit from Hunter for this stunt. I’ll be chewing on some of what’s left of him. I’ll probably have to fight Chang for the privilege.//

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

The door slammed behind Duo and he nodded briefly to the security team just arriving as he raced past.

//You are blowing wind there, Hunter. He’s not about to listen to you.//

“Yuy! Chang! Move your arses!”

Duo sped along the hallway, intent on reaching the nursery. A floor above him there was about to be a confrontation and no one touched what belonged to him.

“He can be so bloody blond sometimes!”
