Chapter Nine

When they heard Helga say, "Now what in the hell is going on?" Michael looked at his brothers and said, "Let's go see what the kids are doing." Roland glared at them as if to say, "Cowards." Michael just smiled at him as they left the room.

Helga walked over to Roland, she knew that something was bothering him, then he said, "Matthew the Chief of Police called and told me, that Joey's father is out on bail."

Helga's green eyes flashed and she said, "What do you mean that bastard is out on bail, he needs to be sent to the bowls of hell for what he did to Joey."

Roland put his arm around her, then he said, "I agree with you, but as Matthew said, they can't hold him just because Jeff said that his boy was brought in abused and raped. Matthew said that if Joey talked to Phillip then maybe he could prosecute him."

Helga was royally pissed off, she then said, "So until Joey talks to Phillip about what his dad did to him, that son-of-a-bitch is walking around Domino looking for him and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it, that's just plain bull-shit."

Roland knew that his wife was this close to taking a gun and hunting down that man and shooting him, he had to get her to calm down, so he said, "What if we go talk to Joey and see if he'll tell Phillip what his father did, that way we might get his father off the street."

Helga closed here eyes and took a deep breath, then she said, "Alright, but what if he's to scared to talk about what happened, then what do we do?"

Roland smiled down at her and said, "Let's take one thing at a time, first we talk to Joey, then if that isn't an option, then I guess we leave it up to your brothers."

Helga then said, "Alright, let's go talk to Joey, and see if he'll talk to Phillip, but I don't really like the idea of my brothers going after that man, I know that they are experts at what they do, but I don't want to see them arrested."

Roland gave her a hug and kissed her cheek, and said, "I don't either." So and then they went to see where Joey was, so that they could talk to him. They found Joey outside helping Seto, Yugi, Ryou, Malik and Mokie wash the windows, Helga said, "Joey could we talk to you for a minute please."

Joey handed Seto the rags and walked over to find out what they wanted, Roland then said, "Let's go inside." When they went inside, they walked to the den, and when Joey sat down he said, "What's wrong?"

Helga sat down beside him and she said, "Your father was arrested for trying to break into the room when you were in the hospital, but the Chief of Police called Roland and told him that he was out on bail."

Joey's face turned white and he fell to the floor and curled into a ball, he was saying, "Daddy's gonna be mad at me, daddy's gonna be mad at me."

Helga sat down on the floor, she took Joey into her arms and held him, and she said, "No, your daddy doesn't know where you are, you're safe here." Then Roland sat down on the floor and he said, "Will you do something for us?"

Joey looked up at him with tears running down his face and he said, "What." Roland then said, "The District Attorney wants to talk to you about what your father did to you, if you tell him then he can have your father arrested and thrown in jail."

Joey looked up at Roland and he said, "But what if that man doesn't believe me, he'll make me go back living the house with my father, I'd rather die then go back."

Helga said, "Phillip is a fair man, he'll look over and the evidence against you father and then he send you father far away from here." Joey looked at Helga and he said, "Will you be there, I don't want to be alone."

Both Roland and Helga hugged him and Roland said, "Yes son we'll both be with you, you're never going to be alone again." Then Joey threw his arms around them and said, "Alright I'll talk to that man."

When Joey left to talk to Roland and Helga, Seto started to follow them, but Bakura stopped him and said, "You're chores aren't done."

Seto looked at him and said, "What if it's about his father, he's so scared of that monster and what he did to him."

Bakura put his arm around Seto's shoulder and said, "Dad and mom wouldn't ever let that man touch Joey again, now go back and get your chores done."

Roland picked up the phone and dialed Phillip's Office, Phillip's secretary answered the phone, Phillip Taylor's Office. Roland said, Patricia, it's Roland O'Brien, I need to talk to Phillip."

Patricia smiled when she heard Roland's voice, she said, "Just a minute." Then Roland heard Phillip's voice say, "Roland, how can I help you?"

Roland said, "Did Matthew talk to you about the young boy who was admitted to the hospital." Phillip said, "Yes he did, he said that the young boy is living there."

Roland told him, "Yes he is, the reason I'm calling is, Joey wants to tell you what happened."

Phillip said, "I can come out there around three this afternoon, is that alright?" Roland said, "That would be fine, and Phillip, Helga is on the war path because that man is out on bail."

Phillip chuckled and said, "That sounds like her, well you tell her that I'll do my best to make sure that that young boys father is picked up and held for questioning."

Roland then said, "We'll see you at three." He hung up the phone, looked at Joey, and said, "You don't have to be afraid of Phillip, and he's helped up convict all the kids' parents who live here."

Joey then said, "Can Seto be there when I talk to that man?" Helga smiled at Joey and said, "Yes, Seto can be here too." Roland then said, "Why don't you go back and help the others with the chores, mom will come get you when it's time."

Later that afternoon, Helga went to find Joey, "Phillip will be here in an hour, why don't you go change your clothes and come back here."

Seto and Joey went upstairs to their room, when Seto closed the door he said, "We all had to talk to Phillip and tell him what happened to us, just tell him what your father did to you."

They went back downstairs and Roland said, "Let's go to the den, Phillip is here." Phillip said to Joey, "Can you tell me what your father did, how did he abuse you and why?"

Joey reached out and took Seto's hand and then he said, "When I was about six, my mommy was going to have a baby; she was driving to get something for us for dinner, when a drunk driver hit the car, she and the baby died.

When my daddy found out, he was crying and I didn't know why, 'Why are you crying?' I asked him. Then my daddy screamed at me, 'Your mommy and the baby are dead, it's your fault.'

I started to cry and I told him, It's not my fault, me loved mommy and the baby, it's not my fault. Then my daddy hit me across my face and I fell to the floor and he was still screaming at me, then he kicked me in my tummy and I screamed.

When I opened my eyes, my daddy was gone, my tummy hurt and I wanted my mommy, I lay on the floor and cried, 'mommy my tummy hurts' but she never came.

When my daddy came home, he smelled like he had been drinking, he found me, I was hiding in my room, and he started hitting me and yelling that I was a bad boy that's why my mommy died.

Daddy was always telling me that I was a bad boy and hitting me, then one day when I was twelve, my daddy had been hitting me and telling me that no one would ever love me, and then he told me to take off my clothes.

I did what he said, I was so afraid of him and didn't want him to hit me anymore, then my daddy told me to lay on my tummy and what he did to me was horrible.

He started touching my penis and then he put his finger in my rectum and then another and another. He laughed because I was screaming and begging him to stop, it hurts daddy please stop.

But he didn't stop then he took his fingers out, but he shoved his penis into my rectum and I screamed and begged him to stop, but all he did was slap me and he said no one would ever want me now; I was always going to be his fuck toy.

When he was done, he got off the bed and staggered out of my room, I lay there crying and then I got up and put on my underpants, then I climbed out my bedroom window, somehow I got out into the alley and made it to the street.

I was crying and hoping that someone would come help me, my underpants were full of blood, I could feel it run down my leg, my rectum hurt, but no one was around, then I just curled into a ball and prayed that I'd die."

Phillip then went over to where Joey was, he sat down next to him and said, "You're father will never hurt you ever again."
