Storm Warning “Problem, Duo?” He shivered at the husky rumble. When he heard that mellow voice he entertained thoughts of a lower rumble emulating the purr of a contented cat. His fingers gripped the windowsill and he tried to suppress the shiver hoping it might be taken as reaction to the weather. “No, just looking, Sir.” A finger flicked indicating the window. “Wondering how anyone is meant to get anything done.” “I think we can drop the formality when there is no one around don’t you?” Milliardo moved to stand behind the smaller man and stare out at the thickening fall of white. Snowfall had begun in the predawn and by noon had thickened into a respectable curtain of smothering white. He recalled Duo had plans to inspect the proposed site of the power stations but the snow had forced a cancellation. “There will be another day.” “I’ll go tomorrow morning. I’m eager to see this project started.” “You will not.” “Pardon?” “This will develop into a blizzard.” “So… Tomorrow afternoon?” “My dear Duo, it will have barely started by morning.” //My dear Duo? Ooooh say that again.// “At this time of year when the cold fronts sweep down from the northwest we can expect not a hint of decent weather for a week at best, a month at worst.” “You have got to be shitting me!” “I shit you not, Duo.” Milliardo smiled. //Ohh God. That… smile… Please tell me I’ll be stuck in a blizzard with him. Preferably alone.// “If we are fortunate we will be discomforted for at best seven day, at worst perhaps a month. This is normal for Sanc.” “But… how does anything get done? I mean, what about shopping and what if there was an emergency? What about the police and emergency services? How do they get to where they are needed?” The King turned from the window and Duo followed him along the hallway watching the long sway of white gold hair. If he dared he would jump those long bones and feast on that mouth that surely begged to be worshipped. //What the hell is wrong with me? Six months ago I was eyeing off Chang’s ass and praying he’d look at me the way he looked at Zechs. Now I’m thinking of jumping the King?// “Every house is equipped with supplies to last at least five weeks. If the blizzard escalates to the point where communication and satellite feeds are cut then we fend for ourselves as best we can. As we always have done.” “But… what about…” “ I believe a few hundred years ago there were tunnels dug linking sections of Port City. I don’t know when these fell into disuse but I believe it may be time to locate and open them.” There was something in his eyes that disturbed Duo, something in his voice that worried him. “You okay?” “Not really Duo. This storm… I would rather forget. Excuse me.” //Forget… what?// End |
