Chapter Six

Roland called in a few favors so that he could get Salvador Lawrence to agree to meet with him and Malcolm. After they left for the meeting, Joey walked outside and stood looking around and then he heard Bakura's voice say "I wouldn't think about it if I were you. You're to damn important to a lot of people and these people would kill me if I let you get away and something should happen to you, so I want your word as my friend that you'll stay here till all this is over. Do I have your word?"

Joey looked at Bakura with tears in his eyes and he said "You have my word, but promise me that if this doesn't go the way we want it to and if Salvador finds me that you'll make sure that my family will always be safe, will you promise me that?"

Bakura walked over to Joey and as he wrapped his arms around Joey's shoulders and let him cry for all the hell he and his loved ones has had to endure, Bakura closed his eyes and he said "I promise you that your family will forever be safe from any harm."

Then they walked back inside and Joey went to the bedroom, Bakura went over to the others and he said "If everything fails we must see that this bastard pays for what he has done and I for one will see that he never hurts anyone ever again."

Roland and Malcolm were escorted to where Salvador was and as they stood there they were checked for weapons and when none were found they were allowed to sit down. Salvador then asked "Why have you asked for this meeting?"

Malcolm then said "We are here to ask that you stop this vendetta against Joseph Wheeler and that you leave him and his family alone."

Salvador threw back his head and laughed and then he said "And why would I do that? And if I don't what do you prepare to do to stop me?"

Roland had a bad feeling about all of this and as he tried to stand up Salvador's men pointed weapons at them and then Malcolm asked "Is this how you treat your guests, you threaten them with physical violence when all they wanted to do was to talk to you?"

Salvador then motioned for his men to leave and he said "This Wheeler fellow killed one of my best men and now you expect me to just leave him alone?"

Roland then said "Did you ever find out why this Joseph Wheeler killed Vincent Sambrote? Well let me fill you in shall I, Joseph Wheeler came home to find his father nearly beaten to death and this Sambrote was trying to rape his sister after he had raped his mother. What would you of done? Wouldn't you of stopped that bastard for what he was trying to do to your sister? Well that's exactly what Joseph did and if it had been me I would have killed that bastard and buried his goddamned body so that no one would of ever found it."

Salvador then looked at one of his men and motioned for him to come over and when he whispered something into the man's ear and the man nodded yes, well Salvador then stood up and walked over to the window and he stared out side then he turned to face Roland and Malcolm and he said "Bring this Wheeler to see me and if he tells me the same thing that you just said then I will make sure that no one ever touches him or his family." Then he motioned for them to leave and Roland and Malcolm walked out of the room and went back to Ginny's to tell them what Salvador said.

As they were driving back Malcolm asked Roland "Do you really trust that man to do what he says he'll do?"

Roland then pulled the car to the side of the road and stopped and then he said "This goes no further then between you and me, do you understand?" Malcolm said "Alright now what do you know that you don't want anyone else to know?"

Roland then said "Salvador and I go way back, in fact his son and I grew up together. His father and mine were in the business together but I wanted no part of it and so I left and moved to Domino, then I found out that Salvador was here and he was trying to take over some businesses and I told him he had better leave Kaiba Corp., the Game Shop and Industrial Illusions alone or there would be a battle and he wouldn't be able to win and he knew that I meant exactly what I said. So that's why I believe that he'll listen to what Joey has to say and in the end he will leave him alone. Now all I have to do is to convince the others to believe me too."

When Roland and Malcolm got back they walked into the house and Oliver and Russell knew that something was bothering Malcolm and Roland and then Roland said "We have to talk to Joey about something, so Joey let's go outside."

Joey walked out to the side of the house and as he turned to face Roland he said "What's going on?"

Roland walked over to Joey and he said "I told Salvador what Sambrote had done to your father, mother and sister and he kind of believed me but he wants you to tell him exactly what you did before he decides to stop the vendetta against you and your family."

Joey then closed his eyes as tears ran down his face and then he turned to Roland and Malcolm and he said "Hell lets get this over with but if he refuses to leave me alone then I want my family protected from anyone ever hurting them ever again, can you promise me that?"

Malcolm then said "I have someplace where your family can live where no one will ever find them."

Joey held out his hand and they both shook his hands and then they walked back inside and Joey looked around at the people who he had come to know and then he walked over to Ginny and he said "You were the one who finally got me to understand that I couldn't run away from my troubles and gave me the strength to understand that I'm who I am and not to be ashamed of that. I love you Ginny and now I have to face my greatest challenge, I'm going to talk to Salvador and get him listen to what happened that day when I killed that bastard for what he did to my family."

That's when Bakura stood up and he looked at Roland and he asked him "Are you really sure that this is the only way to get that man to leave him alone?"

Roland then said "Salvador is a man of his word and all he really wants Joey to do is to face him and tell him what he did to Sambrote and why he didn't go to him and tell him what he had done."

They all heard a car drive up outside and as Ginny looked out the window she said "That's Wallace Lawrence, he's the one who wants me to sell him my land and I don't want to sell it to him or anyone else."

Oliver and Russell then said "Leave this idiot to us please. They both walked outside and stood there as Wallace got out of his car and he smiled and then he held out his hand and said "My name is Wallace Lawrence and I'm an old friend of Ginny, is she here I really would like to talk to her."

Oliver looked at Russell and then he said "This man wants to talk to ma. Then Oliver went to the door and as he opened it Ginny came out and he said ma this man says that he's your friend, do you know him?"

The shocked look on Wallace's face was just to much for Ginny to take and she started laughing as she said "I told you that my husband and I left our land to someone didn't I, well these are the ones that will inherit my land when I'm gone so you can talk to them." Then she walked back inside and nearly fell on her butt laughing so hard.

Oliver then walked up to Wallace and he asked him "What do you want with our mother's land?"
