Post subject: story teaser....
ok....first part of a new fic....wanted opinions on it.....the story is, Quatre just turned 18....and his father had apparently recorded a vid message before he died with instructions that it be given to Quatre when he turned 18......i'm not going to say what's on it, b/c i think you'll be surprised.....but that's where this is coming from.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quatre sighed as he looked over the mound of papers still littering his desk. He hated paperwork. 'If only a paper-less office could be invented, I'd be the happiest man in the world.' He paused at that thought. It was funny, in a way. He'd turned 18 only 4 days ago, so why did he fell like he was 81? He shuffled some of the papers around on his desk, trying to find a clear spot to work from. He'd sent his secretary home some hours ago, when normal people usually get off work. The man was very good, but some of the things that crossed his desk could only be taken care of by the head of the Winner family. 'Now why couldn't Father have named one of my sisters as head?' he wondered a bit rebeliously. He quickly started looking for some files on the current colonization project to head off those thoughts. He didn't have time to think of the vid tape he'd gotten from the lawyers on his birthday. He wasn't even sure if he believed it.
A knock at the door inturrepted his search. 'If you could please leave a message, I would apprecate it,' he called out, trying to regain his focus, and glad that he had taken the time to lock the door after his secretary left. After a few minutes, however, he heard an odd scratching noise. He reached under his desk for the alarm button as his visitor apparently picked the lock and the door swung open. He relaxed as he saw a pair of bright cobalt eyes and a big smile.
'Hey Quatre! I see they've taken to locking you in at night. C'mon, we're here to release ya!' Duo sauntred in, followed by a slightly ruffled Wufei.
'Duo!' Quatre came out from behind the desk to give his friend a hug, then reached out to shake Wufei's hand. 'And Wufei. It's nice to see you two. But I'm curious why you're out this way?'
'Ah, Wufei's shuttle broke down near here. I was on my way here to pick up Hilde and thought I'd give him a ride in.' Duo answered, leaning against the desk.
'What he means is that he gave me a discount for a tow job,' Wufei corrected.
Quatre shook his head. 'You'd charge a friend for job, Duo?'
Duo laughed. 'Just for the parts. Even I can't get those for free! But enough shop talk. Like I said, we're busting you out. You need a night out!'
'Well, thank you anway, Duo. But I have a lot to do.'
'Ah, I knew it!' Duo exlaimed. 'They've brainwashed you! Quick, Wufei, find the key so we can get him out of here!'
'Hey, this is your idea, Maxwell. If you want to kidnap him, you do it on your own.' Wufei crossed his arms over his jacket and leaned against the wall.
'Yeah, you're a wuss. I always knew it!'
Wufei lifted an eyebrow casually. 'That doesn't work anymore.'
'I was wondering when you'd see through that.' Duo grinned at him, then turned back to Quatre. 'Look, you can't take on the entire business world at once. Nothing's going to happen while you relax for a few hours. Honestly, you look like hell! You need a break!'
Duo's smile was infectious and Quatre found a tired smile to return. 'Well, I apprecate that, but I really...' He broke off when Duo grabbed his arm and started pulling him towards the door. 'None of that, now. Here.' He handed Quatre his old leather jacket and a baseball cap. 'You can sneak out in that. No one will recognize you!'
Quatre finally gave in and shrugged into the jacket. Duo pulled the cap down over his eyes and stepped back. 'Doesn't look like the heir to a multi-million dollar corperation now, does he?' He missed Quatre's look at that comment as he turned to smirk at Wufei.
Wufei simply rolled his eyes and headed out the door. Duo sauntered back out, followed by Quatre. The three made it outside without comment, though Quatre could swear he saw Rashid giving Duo a wink as the headed out the back door. 'So, where are we going?' he asked, zipping his jacket closed. Duo just grinned. 'You'll see. Wouldn't want to spoil the surprise!'
