"Domino city police, how can I help you."
"I'd like to file a missing persons report."
"How long has this person been missing."
"Well, as far as I can gather no one has seen him for about 24 hours. Most recently he missed a meeting with me in the Library. Normally I wouldn't think anything of it, but he wasn't at school today and when I called his house he hadn't been there either."
"Well, is there a chance he's at a friends house?"
"I called them, and they hadn't seen him. I'm just really worried about him."
"Is there any reason that you would be worried about him in particular?"
"Yeah, someone threatened him the other day, then next thing I know he's disappeared." The voice on the phone began to crack.
"Honey, now try to stay calm. You did the right thing by calling the police. What's your name?"
"R-r-r-ryou. Ryou Bakura." Ryou stuttered into the phone.
"And what is your friends name?"
"Yugi. Yugi Moto." Ryou replied.
"And where does your friend live?"
"He lives above the Kame Game Shop with his Grandpa." Ryou responded. Oh god somethings happened to him, I just know it.
"And what about his parents? Do you know where his mom and Dad work?" the officer said as kindly as possible.
"They don't. I mean, his parents died a long time ago, I think Yugi was 3 at the time." Ryou said rather quietly. He knew that Yugi had always hated telling people about his parents, because he didn't want others to pity him.
"And how old is your friend now?"
"17." Ryou answered. He could hear the sound of the officer typing the information into the computer.
"Does your friend have a cell phone?"
"Yes, I've tried to call him about ten times. His Grandpa and Jou have tried to call him also, but he hasn't answered." Ryou answered.
"Could you give me his cell number?"
"Yeah its 892-5720." Ryou answered.
"Alright, now try to stay calm Mr. Bakura. We're going to find your friend."
"Thank you." Ryou replied.
"You're welcome. Have a nice night." The officer said before they hung up the phone.
Ryou shakily hung up the phone as well. Before he flopped down on his bed and stared at the ceiling. Yugi where ever you are please be alright.
Solomon Moto sat in the living room of his home, directly above the Game Shop that he ran for a living. Though, unlike a typical evening he was not reading a book on Ancient Egypt or watching the Duel Monsters world championships on television. He was instead sitting anxiously by the phone, waiting for his Grandson, Yugi to call and explain where it was he had disappeared off to. Yugi was Solomon's only remaining relative and he couldn't bear the thought of something happening to him. He shook his head, in an attempt to knock those morbid thoughts from him mind. He couldn't be thinking like that, Yugi was fine. He knew it. But if that was true then why couldn't he shake the feeling in the pit of his stomach that something was wrong?
He was drawn from his vigil by a knock on the door. Now who could that be? His hopes rose for a moment. Could it be Yugi? Before they again crashed just as quickly as they had risen. No, it isn't Yugi. Yugi wouldn't knock, because he has a key to the house. I saw him grab it before he left. His eyes began to tear up as he remembered the last time he had seen his Grandson.
-Flashback-
"Hey Grandpa, I'm going to meet Jou and Honda at the arcade. Then I'm going to spend the night at Jou's house." Yugi had said with a smile on his face as he had bounded down the stairs and into the kitchen where Solomon had been making dinner.
Solomon turned and looked at his Grandson before he asked, "Have you got all your homework done yet? You know the rules you can't go hang out with your friends if you don't have your homework done first." Solomon said somewhat sternly.
Yugi just looked at his Grandpa before saying. "Well, actually I do have a history assignment that I need to finish, but I was going to work on it with Jou, since he's kind of been struggling with it." Yugi said.
Solomon had merely raised his eyebrow, in a way of saying 'what kind of a fool do you take me for.'
Yugi then quickly added, "I've already almost finished mine, I've only got about two paragraphs left to write. I promise that I'll get it done, and besides it's a paper on the ancient Egyptians, between you, Professor Hawkins and Yami's family I know pretty much all there is to know about ancient Egypt." Yugi finished with a simile.
Solomon looked at his Grandson's smiling face, before he sighed. "Alright Yugi, you can go. Just make sure you get your homework done first before you guys start watching the Duel Monster's tournament."
"Alright Grandpa you're the best." Yugi said, as he gave his Grandpa a huge hug.
Solomon merely laughed before he and Yugi sat down to eat. They had curry and rice for dinner, one of Yugi personal favorites. After the two had finished eating dinner, and done the dishes Yugi went upstairs and packed the bag of stuff he would need while I spent the night over at Jou's.
Yugi came downstairs, his bag hanging on one of his shoulders. Solomon looked up from the television he had just turned on, the next round of the Duel Monsters tournament was scheduled to air in about 30 minutes. Currently there was an add for Industrial Illusions, which Solomon muted as he turned to his Grandson.
"You got everything you need?" Solomon asked, this was their regular routine. Whenever Yugi was going to spend the night somewhere, Solomon and him would go over the checklist of items to make sure he had everything.
"Yup, I triple checked to make sure I had everything." Yugi said with yet another one of his smiles that could light up a room.
"Cell Phone? Keys?" Solomon asked, more out of habit than anything else.
"My Cell Phone is in my pocket, and don't worry I charged it when I got home from school today. And my keys are in my pocket also." Yugi said, and just to make sure he held up the two items as proof.
Solomon nodded before he turned back to the television. "Alright Yugi, have fun and call me if you need anything." Solomon said.
"Don't worry Grandpa, I will." Yugi said as he headed out the door.
-End Flashback-
Solomon got up and went to answer the door. When he did he saw two police officers standing there.
"Good evening Officers, how can I help you." Solomon said as calmly as possible. There is always something unnerving about the police showing up at your front door. Maybe something's wrong. Oh Yugi, please be alright.
"Good evening. Are you Solomon Moto?" One of the officers asked.
"I am." Solomon replied.
"We're here about your Grandson, Yugi. Can we come inside for a few minutes."
Solomon merely nodded because he couldn't trust his voice. Here about Yugi, oh god something is wrong. Is he hurt, or worst is he… Solomon could bring himself to finish that thought; it was just too horrible a possibility to think of.
He led the two officers into the living room, where he once again sat on the couch.
"Someone called and reported your grandson missing today, so we need to ask you some questions."
Again Solomon nodded.
"When was the last time you saw your grandson?"
"Yesterday evening, he went over to a friends house to spend the night." Solomon answered as calmly as he could.
"And you haven't heard from him at all since then?"
Solomon shook his head.
"Can you give me a list of his friends so we can get in touch with them, maybe they know where your grandson is."
"Yeah, his friends are Jounouchi Katsuya, Honda Hiroto, Anzu Mazaki, and Ryou Bakura" Solomon listed off. Maybe I should mention Yami Atemu, no Yugi would kill me if I had to police bother him in the middle of a duel Monsters tournament. Besides, he's been in the tournament for the last week, he wouldn't know anything about Yugi's disappearance.
"Thank you, oh and one last thing. We need a recent picture of your grandson. Do you have one."
"Yes, Yugi brought home his school pictures the other day. There in the kitchen on the counter." Solomon said, and he went and picked up one of the wallets and brought it back out and handed it to the officer.
"Thank you Mr. Moto. And don't worry, we'll find your grandson." The officer said as he stood to leave, his partner following him silently.
"Please let me know if you find out anything." Solomon said, a slight pleading note in his voice.
"We will. Good night Mr. Moto." The officer said, before he let himself out.
Solomon stood looking at the door in silence for a moment, before he once again resumed his vigil by the phone. One thought was prominent in his mind.
Yugi where ever you are please just be safe.
