"Baby Series 3"

Strategic Decisions

Who knew what might follow an up close and personal tonsil inspection? And he would make it a very thorough inspection.

Duo snickered quietly. On Christmas he would kiss Milliardo Peacecraft; a real kiss, not a quick peck on the cheek or a light brush of lips. No, it would be a real kiss and after…? At the least he would find a glass of champagne, walk up to a window and say `Cheers!' and salute the stars.

He was not fond of champagne, but to celebrate that milestone event… oh yes, he would enjoy that particular drink of bubbly beverage.

//I need to make a move on Fei soon. He's coming along nicely, but I want it to be a lot further along by Christmas.//

The arrival of the Chang Clan might put a crimp or two in his plans. Certainly he could not expect to have Wu Fei's attention completely, but Duo wanted Chang to turn to him, to seek him out and take whatever comfort he needed with him.

//This business of courting two guys at once isn't easy. Especially when they have such damnably public positions. There are days I want to bare my teeth at the cameras and snare one of them in a choke hold and kiss the stuffing out of him… on camera. Get it out in the open and flip the `finger' to everyone who will be shocked to the core.//

Nice thought but no. He wanted to win them over to him, to have them come to him for comfort. He wanted their relationship to be a private thing, shared between the three of them, not something soiled and plastered all over every tawdry tabloid in the Earth Sphere for deprived gossip mongers to pick over.

Enough daydreaming at this hour of the morning. He would need some sleep to face the day and he had the run to finish. He was going to give catching the King a good run; and just maybe succeed.

Time for a little strategic contemplation.

Bringing to mind the layout of the palace and its curiously hodge podge design, Duo pictured his location in the East Wing. He assumed Chang to still be in the Central Wing, most likely heading for the West wing or perhaps the upper level of the central structure. The rules stated Milliardo had to go to the extreme points of each wing, and in the case of the central building that meant up… potentially to the attic, but certainly to the floor below that level and at its centre most point.

//I have no chance of tagging him in the West Wing, its too far away. Chang has the better chance there, but if he gets past Chang he'd probably head up. I should set myself on one of the upper floors, probably near the central staircase. He might use the servants stairs though, and there are about four of those. Hmmmm, decisions, decisions.//
