Chapter Four

When Roland got back to the Manor, he went straight to his room and getting out his little black book and as he found the names he needed, he started calling each number and all he said was "the devil has risen." Then he'd hang up and call the next and the next and the next and with every phone call he said the same words "the devil has risen." When he was through he sat there thinking about the first time he had ever seen David Strickland.

Flashback:

We were sitting in a small Cantina in Tijuana drinking shots of tequila, when we noticed this man walk in and sit down in the corner. We were laughing at some stupid joke that Charlie had told when all of a sudden that man said "hey, can't a man get a damn drink in this dump?"

Juan, the bartender went over and handed him a bottle of tequila and the man stood up and grabbed Juan by the throat and said "did I ask for this shit? Get me a bottle of your best whiskey and do it fast!" Then he shoved Juan so hard that he fell over a table and landed hard on the floor. That's when I stood up and went over and told the man "either you apologize to our friend now or I'll beat the living hell out of you!"

The man just started laughing and then he said "yeah, you and what damn army?" That's when I grabbed the man and lifted him off the floor and threw him into the wall and knocked him out. Jack and Charlie came over and told me "can't you keep that damn temper of yours under control? One of these days you're temper is going to get you or all of us killed." That's when we heard the gun shot and we all spun around and that man was standing up against the wall with his head bleeding holding a gun and saying "the next man who ever lays a hand on me again will die, is that understood?"

I just started laughing and then so did the man. After that we were the best of friends till I started working for Gozoboro and Strickland showed up one day and wanted to make Gozoboro a deal and when he refused well Strickland threatened not only Gozoboro's life the lives of his sons and well that didn't sit very well and that day was the last I saw of Strickland. Gozoboro told me that "he had him taken far away from Domino and disposed of." I guess he found his way back and upon finding Gozoboro had died he was going to start hurting anyone who is related to him. That is going to be the last mistake that bastard ever did. I promised to protect both Seto and Mokuba with my life and that includes Joey also.

End of Flashback.

The next few days I received calls from all the men I contacted and they all said that they'd be in Domino within a few days. All I could do was to wait and hopefully it wouldn't take very long to find Strickland and get rid of him forever, and this time I won't fail.

Roland then stood up and because he was so angry he slammed his fist into the wall and then from behind him he heard "did you hurt the wall?" Roland turned around and there stood Odeon. That's when Roland literally lost it and he collapsed onto the floor and Odeon went over and sat down beside him and holding his old a dear friend in his arms Odeon then said "count me in on bringing that bastard down."

Roland wiped his face and told Odeon about calling in the troops and Odeon smiled and said "it'll be good to see them again, and don't think that you're going to keep me out of this." Roland then told him "wouldn't try, you have a score to settle with that monster as do all of us."
