Nameless Ship

Chapter1
The Nameless Ship.

Trowa Barton made sure one last time that the goods were secured before leaving the ship. Walking down to a deserted city that had been over run with rats and strays a man stood cloaked in a black robe. Setting the case down ten feet from the man, the elite black market dealer backed away and watched as the other man set the money down and backed away. Then both men made a 180 to their new possessions and picked them up.
Then returning the way they came both men left, and that was that.
He never asked questions about why someone needed something or why they did something some way just that he got paid and the deal was completed on time. That was all Trowa cared about. Completing a deal and getting paid…

“That was way to dramatic for me Captain I’m sorry.” Duo, Trowa’s head pilot and mechanic said as the dealer boarded the ship.
“Hn. How much fuel do we have?”
“Enough to get us just past Zion.” The braided pilot said.
“Fine set a course. And tell Wufei and Heero I wish to see them.”
“Done.” The pilot said simply before the captain left and the boy came over the loud speaker.
In 15 mins the 2 crew members greeted their captain in his “office” to discover they had yet another delivery proposal. This new delivery was of fine gems that were to be shipped from Earth to one of the black market shops on Mars.
“His name is Ryo Mizune and he’s known for his precious gems and ivory sales. He’s not a man to be toyed with that’s why I called you both here. Wufei as my body guard I’m of coarse asking you to be on you toes when we leave the ship and as my second in command, Heero I’m asking you to get as much information on this guy.”
“Were will we stop and pick up the package?” The Chinese body guard asked.
“We’ll land here in Neo Asia,” Trowa said as a computerized map appeared on the back wall and he pulled out his laser pointer. “We’ll make the pick up here in Neo china and then we’ll make the drop off on Mars. However because this is another big mission and the man has one of the larger bounty heads he’s requested I not tell you were we will drop off and that you stay behind when I pick up. However I am allowed to bring 1 body guard and a navigator”
“You mean I have to work with Duo?”
“I’m sure he’ll be as thrilled as you but it will only be few days if that on earth and then you can stay as far away from the control room as you wish…” Trowa said emotionlessly.
A low groan came from the Chinese boy as the two were dismissed and Trowa called Duo to his office.

“It’s ok Wu…” the boy’s lover said as she rubbed his back. “Just think, if he annoys the shit out of you, you can cover his face with it.”
“Cute onna.”
“It will be ok I’m sure and when you get back I’ll have a surprise for you.”
“Hmmm sounds nice...” Wufei said imaging his girl friend with her surprise…
“You can’t be serious captain he’ll kill me for sure!! That guys got it in for me in ways you can’t imagine.”
“I am serious and you will do it or I’ll drop you off at Zion and leave you.”
“Hell I’ll jump off here if it’s all the same to you sir? I’m not going to work with Wufei for a mission.”


“I can’t believe I have to do this……” Duo muttered under his breath as he drove the land rover through the jungle of Neo China. Trowa had “persuaded…” him to take the mission and try to get along with the Chinese boy. He was forced to agree unless he wanted to clean for a month. So there he was sitting in the driver seat trekking through unfamiliar territory to complete a mission…
“Turn on the radio densei!” Wufei said with a sharp tone.
“Can’t, no country stations. And even if there were, no radio.”
“Baka don’t you have any thing good here?”
Duo didn’t answer as he received a dark glare from his captain and thought better of the button just under his finger.( he he ejection….)
“No body likes a back seat diver, Chang.”
“Nobody likes the driver, Maxwell.”
The two said nothing until a few hours later when Trowa had instructed him to pull over by a pub.
“Marios? That sounds kinda out of place.” Duo said reading the sign. This would be the place were Trowa would meet Ryo the next day to pick up the package. The 3 would spend the night at the inn a mile or so away until then.
“What’s say we stop for a drink, hu Captain?”
“Fine.”
Trowa had given in only because he was quite parched himself. The 3 entered the bar were the tender sat talking with some customers. Glancing around, they sat @ the bar were they waited for a moment for the bartender.
“Oldestyle.”
“Bud.”
“Root beer.”
The tender gave an odd look @ Duo who blushed a little and said he was the designated driver for their vacation.
The trio was served a few minutes later and said little as they drunk. As they drank however the 2 pilots with an extra sense felt some one watching them.
“Back corner. I saw him when we entered.” Wufei said in a whisper.
“Hn.” Trowa had also seen the person and quietly asked the tender about him.
“He’s here on business I think. lots of his kind stop here that will be the 3rd this month.”
“Hn…”
Saying nothing more the trio left and took off to find the Inn.
“2 rooms. First floor. Wufei said sternly as he stood at the desk.
“Ok it’s 75 a night. And would you like a courtesy call.”
“No just 2 room’s first floor.”
The clerk tried to smile politely but it was obvious she was a little uneasy about her new guest. After being handed the keys Wufei checked the rooms and signaled it was ok to come in.
“Not to bad…” Duo thought as he checked out his new surroundings. He had a TV radio and a phone. “Better then what I usually have.” He said as he set his over night bag down and flopped to the bed.
“Try not to talk in your sleep densei. We’re right next door and even @ home I can hear you.”
“Oh yea what time?” Duo questioned innocently.
“11”
“Not sleep talk then…”
::nose bleed::
“He he I win.” Duo smiled as he stuck out his tongue @ the retreating back with its hand over his nose.

“Get up. Time to start heading out.” A stern voice said the next morning
“10 more minutes…”
“I’ll give you 30 seconds before I start adding work hours.”
“Alright shit I’m up…” the braided pilot said blinking and yawning.
It was only 5:30 but Trowa had been told to meet @ 7. Duo, who had been told very little since the beginning hauled himself out of bed and went to the bathroom to clean up.
They had checked out in under and hour and were driving back to the pub.
“Stay here watch the car and don’t ask questions.” Trowa said as himself and Wufei exited the car and walked around back. Duo just shrugged. He had expected as much so he was sure to pack his head sets and some good Kix&Dunn to listen to.


“This is my guard Chang and I am Trowa Barton.” The one eyed captain said as he entered the back room already filled with the dealer and 10 or so men.
“Very well. And I see you have a driver out front as well.”
“Yes his name is Duo.”
“Then here are the terms.” The man said. He told Trowa were to go what rout to take and when to get there. He was to make the delivery and when he had he would be paid.
“137,986,123. Sound fair?”
“150,000,123 no less.”
“Oh?”
“it s tough rout from here to earth even if that asteroid belt weren’t there the police are looking for guys like me, and I may need some incentive.”
“Hmmm. Very well. I hear you’re the best so I’m expecting a good turn out undeod?”od?”
“Hn. Your package will be delivered to said area at said time.”
The 2 men shook and that was that. Exiting through a door on the opposite end of the room the 2 returned to find the braided American jamming away.
“Back to the ship...”
“Yes mo’capiton.”
