Chapter One

"Kaiba Corp, Seto Kaiba's office. Jenny speaking, how may I help you?" Jenny's fingers clicked across her keyboard as she typed, pausing as the man on the line spoke.

"Hello Miss, I am Agent Burns of the FBI. Could I speak with Mr. Kaiba?" she pulled up Kaiba's schedule and saw the he was alone at the moment. "Hold please, I'll see if he is available." putting the caller on hold she sent a message to her boss.

~Sir I have a Agent Burns from the FBI on the line. He wishes to speak with you. Shall I transfer the call?~

The message notification popped up in the corner of Seto's desktop monitor. He finished his notes on one of the new projects from RnD; it was coming along well and a prototype would be built within the month. Saving he clicked on the message from his secretary, frowning slightly and sending her the ok to send the call through.

Seto picked up the phone and hit the line once it lit up, wasting no time in addressing his caller. "This is Seto Kaiba, What is this all about Agent?" He could hear the agent clear his throat before answering

"Straight to the point, heh. Hello Mr. Kaiba, I'm calling because an investigation of ours has uncovered a threat to yourself and your brother. We would like your cooperation in a case that will both insure that both yourself, your brother, as well as your company are safe. If you agree to take part, we will assign a case agent undercover as extra security for yourself and your brother as well as a contact point for us." Kaiba mulled over the agent's words,

"How will another agent help in the security of my brother and myself, as I'm sure you are aware I already have an elite security protecting him and my person at all times. Who could be such a threat that the security I have in place is not sufficient?"

"I'm sorry I can't give you any further information on the case at hand without you agreeing to be a part of it. We can't risk anyone becoming aware of the operation."

Kaiba frowned and opened his calendar, His curiosity was probably getting the better of him, but in his experience knowledge of what was going on around him was always far better than looking the fool when whatever this was came to light later. "I have an opening at 2:30 this afternoon, how long will this briefing take?"

"Excellent , we should only need a hour of your time today, in the future we will most likely communicate with you through our case agent. Discretion is of the utmost importance here. It would be helpful if you didn't put our meeting today into your calendar. Thank you for your time , I will see you this afternoon." The agent hung up without waiting for a reply. Kaiba sighed and messages his secretary, asking her to block out the time in his schedule as unavailable, and that if anyone asked for him while he and Mokuba were away to say they were dealing with personal matters. Once he saw his calendar update and a confirmation from her he messaged Mokuba asking him to come to his office when he had a moment. His brother sent back a message saying indicating he was in a meeting and would stop by in half an hour.

Kaiba looked back and the pile of spreadsheets and requests he would have to go over before leaving for the meeting this afternoon. He flipped through each of the folders in his inbox, reorganizing them to what he felt was more pressing, though he knew they had been organized already by when they needed to be approved, he also knew the ones on the bottom from his second sorting would most likely be denied. He would give them a full look once he got to them but the summaries showed that they weren't promising projects.

He flipped through the top folder, another project asking for further funding and to be brought into full development instead of being an RnD experiment. He flipped through the spreadsheet and frowned at the projected costs and earnings. Frowning he pulled up the report from the last month's project update. Somehow they had doubled both the costs and tripled the earning projections for the project within a month. It was highly unlikely and probably someone was trying to push this through before it was finished the RnDs full testing cycle. He would have to drop in and look at the prototype himself to confirm his suspicions. Sighing he threw the file off to the side.

Two sharp knocks came at the door before Mokuba walked in, already in the process of losing his tie as he clasped in one of the chairs in front of Seto's desk, dropping his bag beside it. "I swear, Collins can talk about NOTHING for hours." Mokuba ran a hand across his black hair, which was bound in a pony tail. Kaiba smiled at the man in front of him, a sudden feeling of nostalgia hitting him; wasn't it only yesterday that he was just a child constantly being kidnapped and getting in trouble. Now he was an adult, running Kaiba Corp at his brother's side as his vice president.

"You shouldn't let him, I just cut him off when he starts wasting my time." Seto smirked while Mokuba just shook his head at his brother. "Not everyone can be as heartless as you Seto, I have to be the saint of our image so that people know that Kaiba Corp has a heart. That includes indulging Collin's ramblings from time to time. Now why did you want me to stop by? Or were you just feeling lonely?"

Seto ignored his brother's joke, "I need you to come with me to a meeting off site today. 2:30pm about an hour. Do you have time?"

Mokuba pulled his phone out of his pocket and poked at it a few seconds before replying. "Yeah I have time, where are we going?"

"You'll see when we get there, call it a surprise although I doubt it will be good." Mokuba shook his head before smiling at his brother, "fine don't tell me, It will be good for us to get out of the office while the sun is still up for once! I'll meet you back in your office before and we'll go down together? I should back to my office." Mokuba sighed and stood, swinging his bag back onto his shoulder and waving at his brother before tightening his tie and smoothing it back into place.

Mokuba and Seto stood in the elevator of the FBI, riding up to the 21st floor. Seto had explained what little he knew on the ride over and he could tell Mokuba was on edge. His left foot was tapping a constant beat, a habit he had picked up in college. The elevator pinged and the doors slid open.

An agent had been waiting for them at the elevators and approached them as soon as they stepped off. "Ah , right on time. I am Agent Burns, we spoke on the phone. And this must be your brother. Come the agent assigned to your case just landed and will be joining us momentarily. In the meantime I will explain what is going on. Follow me." turned and lead the Kaiba brothers to a conference room. Seto and Mokuba sat down at the conference table across from the agent, noting that there was not chair at either head of the table, instead there was a monitor on the wall at where the head would be opposite the where the door they had walked in was.

"Well then , thank you for meeting with me. I know both your and your brother's time is very valuable but let me start from the beginning. We have been following a spree of company downfalls in the last year. Someone has been hacking into companies, siphoning billions without a trace and destroying the company from the inside. In every case there has been no connection to anyone past a half baked frame job. We have picked up chatter that you are the next suspected target. It follows with the motive of this person or persons. The success and size of your company as well as the technology that comes out of it makes it the most likely target for the next attack. We want to place an agent within your company at a high ranking programer position. He is familiar with the MO of the attacker. He was the one that uncovered the calling card that states the next target in every trace. This person is highly skilled, and with the agent in place with access to your network he should be able to see the attack before it happens, track down and stop this criminal. " Agent Burns pushed a file towards the brothers that had the same information he was summarizing for them.

"You said there was a risk for our safety, where does that come in with this corporate takeover?" Mokuba asked, looking at the folder in Seto's hands as he paged through it.

"Well there have been a few cases where the companies hit didn't have the funds to back up what the company was worth. In truth the CEOs of these companies were taking money from their own companies as well. In these cases the hacker turned violent and put out hits on the CEO. We're not sure why, what motivation they have to take out these CEOs, but the threat remains that if the hacker don't get what they want, they will turn violent."

There was a knock at the door, before it opened. Both Kaiba's turned to see the agent joining them. A blond man walked in, wearing glasses and an expensive suit. He looked jet lagged and his hair was wind blown. He wore a satchel across his body and paused taking in the room before passing the threshold. Mokuba stood, a huge smile upon his face. "JOEY!" Mokuba walked around Seto's chair and pulled the blond into a hug. The blond returned the hug, but quickly let go and joined Agent Burns on the other side of the table.

Agent Burns smiled at the scene, "It seems you already know Agent Wheeler." Joey removed the satchel and placed it on the chair beside him. Smiling at Mokuba who sat across from him.

Seto stared at the blond, unable to figure out in what world Joseph Wheeler was an FBI agent. How had the street mutt get the attention of the FBI and become not only an agent, but the tech that had figured out an expert hackers calling card. He was at a loss for words. Never in a million years would he have predicted meeting Wheeler again. Not like this.

"Agent Wheeler will be hired into your company as a high level programer, you can assign him workload as befits the station, he will be able to handle the workload as well as run the defensive lock on your company as well as personal accounts. He will set up flags to alert if anyone is testing the system. On top of that we will have a support team also monitoring the situation. Although if it gets to the point with the hack happening, Agent Wheeler will be our best chance of tracking and stopping the attack. We don't want to set up extra barriers in case the hacker finds them, which he will and alert him that we've figured out his calling card. At best he will pick out another target and be in the wind until the next attack, at worst he will get violent and attack the building, putting not only yourselves but everyone else in danger." Agent Burns started into Seto's eyes, knowing that he would be the one that he would have to convince. Seto stared back at him, icy cerulean clashing with Agent Burns blue-grey gaze.

Seto spoke without looking at Joey. "I will have to review the openings we have and see if Wheeler can actually do what is required. After a coding test and proper interview process, if he does well; we will set him up. I can take a look into it and set up an interview tomorrow. Is that soon enough Agent Burns" Seto stood as he finished, glancing at his watch and noting that they had stayed too long.

Joey stood as well, opening his bag and handing over a sheet of paper across the paper. "Yes that will be fine, here's my card and resume. Be sure to pass it off to the right people." Joey winked at Mokuba watching out the side of his eye as Seto snached the paper out of his hand and turned to leave. "I'll give you a call tonight Joey, we should meet for dinner if you're free." Joey nodded at Mokuba, smiling back as he ran after Seto who was already halfway to the elevators.

"Well that went better than you thought it did" Agent Burns remarked, looking over at Joey with a smile on his face.

Joey smiled and pulled the satchel back over his shoulder. "This will definitely be an interesting meeting; and the first where i'm undercover as myself. I'm going to go check into a hotel if you don't need me for the rest of the day."

"That won't be necessary Agent Wheeler, we have an apartment ready for you, we weren't sure how long this case will be. Better that you look as though you've moved back to the city for work. Here are the keys and address." Agent Burns handed over a sealed folder that had all of Joey's info for the case inside. Joey nodded to Agent Burns, opening the folder and pulling out all of its contents. He added most of it to his satchel, before pulling a keyring from his pocket and adding the apartment key to it.

"This will be fun." He smiled at Agent Burns and left the office to his new apartment. Both to unpack and await for Mokuba to call him. He flipped through his phone, planning on messaging a few friends that he was in town. This really was going to be his most interesting case yet.
