Now that the first Duo had been secured, it was time to capture the younger version for Harth.  He had no idea why the younger one was so important when it was the older one causing all the problems. it didn't matter anyway. He had been ordered to retrieve him and he would, making sure he didn't stumble into Toph along the way.  She would be able to see right through too easily -- just like she had done with Harth.

Heero decided to wait for the younger Duo by his assigned room, already running through different scenarios in his mind. Find out what the older Duo told him, if anything, and lure him to the Pigeon Room. maybe he wouldn't even have to subdue him until the very end. Exploit their friendship from their world and use it to his advantage here. It would be a lot less suspicious and more efficient that way.

When Duo finally returned to the common room, he was mumbling to himself, scratching at his head and almost completely lost in his thoughts. His double had ranted at length to him about what Harth had done to Toph and Haku, and while he didn't really say it out loud it was obvious how worried he was. Especially for Haku. Toph had been murdered and became a shadow for a time, but Haku was changed in to a human. And not handling it well, from the sounds of it. He didn't get it. Why was she being so self sacrificing? Did she really think that if she didn't her friends were all going to die and never come back?

Either way, he'd taken his doubles words very seriously, and agreed to keep an eye on the once Vocaloid in the chance that he couldn't for whatever reason. Which is why he went looking for her after the rains started. One minute he had heard her talking to some one in one of the other rooms, the next... she was gone. And he thought he'd seen her in the Pigeon Room, but just as quickly he'd lost sight of her again. Whatever was going on, he was doing a damn good job at hiding. And that worried him.

"How the hell could she get away from me..." he was grumbling as he entered the common room, looking up just in time to not run in to Heero standing near his door. He was going to go look for his double next after grabbing a weapon to see if he knew what was going on, but Heero was a conveniently placed option.

"'ey, buddy. Uh. You got any idea where Haku mighta gone? She just took off and I... lost track of her. Some how."
