Chapter Two
Today was the trial of Mark Wheeler. Joey had to be there to testify that it was his father that did things to him. Seto had to best Defense Attorney's to handle the case.
Mack Wheeler was called to the witness seat. He was sworn in, and when Joey's attorney asked him "if he ever beat his son?"
He smiled right at Joey and said "Hell Yes, how else was I to keep him inline? He always was a bother. He never did what I told him to do, so I hit him. Look at that idiot sitting there, crying. Stop with the tears, he yelled at Joey. That's all he ever did was cry. His mother did that to him, made him a baby."
It took all of Seto's strength not to get up and go over and kill him. Seto had hold of Joey's hand under the table, and he was squeezing it really hard.
When the Attorney asked Mr. Wheeler "if he ever hit his son so hard that it left cuts and deep wounds on his body. Yeah, I probably did. He was always getting in the way. I could never do what I wanted, because I had that thing to take care of."
The Attorney asked him a question that made him laugh; "did you ever sexually assault your son?"
"Had to teach him about life, didn't I." Mr. Wheeler said.
The Judge slammed down his gavel. "That's all I need to hear. I find that Mr. Mack Wheeler did abuse and sexually assault his son, and I am giving him twenty five years in the State Prison, without any chance of parole. Furthermore, I and putting Joey Wheeler into the custody of Mr.Roland Parker, he will be residing at the home of Seto Kaiba, till he is of legal age to be on his own." (I don't know what Roland's last name really is so I gave him this one.)
The court room erupted into cheers from all of Joey's friends. "Thank you he whispered to Seto" and Seto put his arm around him and said, "you're welcome."
Joey could breathe easier knowing that he would never have to be afraid of being beaten or raped ever again. He closed his eyes and said a silent prayer for Seto and when he opened his eyes Seto was looking at him and he had tears in his eyes. Joey reached up and wiped them away. What they said silently to each other was that they loved each other and would always.
Solomon came over and Joey went to him and he held him and whispered that "he was glad Seto was here for him."
All of his friends were happy for him because they could see the genuine love Seto had for Joey.
Joey was ordered by the Judge to seek professional help in dealing with the horrific things that happened to him. Joey didn't know if he could talk to a stranger about what happened, any more then he could talk to a friend. What happened to him shouldn't of ever happened to anyone.
