Roy spent the weekend living on the streets and trying to find his way back to Seto's or work. He finally found himself at a game shop. He went in intent on using the phone.
"ROY!" Roy looked up to see Yugi and his gang. Joey was smiling at him. But the smile faded. "Hey , what happened? Are you okay?'
"can ...may...I ...borrow your phone?" Roy asked, moving stiffly to the counter. "Please?"
"Sure." Yugi said worriedly. He placed a phone on the counter. A cordless. "Roy , are you alright you look feverish and pale..."
"Seto?" Roy cried when someone answered. "Seto, it's Roy. Please come and get me! I'm at Yugi's shop! I just found my way here. I know why i ran away from that man, Seto! He sells kids! He tried to sell me but I ran again! Please come and get me!"
Roy sunk into darkness Seto was coming for him. Seto promised to take him to see the doctor. Seto promised to have the man in jail. He fell forward into Joey's waiting arms and let sleep claim him. He felt so weak and so hungry. But all he wanted to do was sleep. He could hear them yelling his name but couldn't respond. He was so tired.
Seto had dropped everything sent the police to the man's address then called a car to take him to Yugi's. He was panicked. The orphanage had said that Roy was indeed a run away the cops had picked him up and had spent to days trying to figure out who he was and where he'd come from then sent him to the orphanage. He'd contacted the police who'd been on the case and they'd said that Roy had just kept crying that he couldn't go back! He couldn't go back! He had to get away! That's why they had labeled him a run away they also stated that even at that time Roy hadn't known his own name or how long he'd been with the person who'd had him. They also told him that they'd let Roy sleep in the police bunk room so he didn't have to sleep in a cell only to find that the nine year old had tried to hang himself. They told him that Roy had spent days recovering in the hospital before being taken to the hospital when Roy had woken up he'd remembered nothing.
Seto burst into Yugi's game shop ignoring the closed sign it was dark and long after closing.
"Where's Roy?!" The grandpa was there.
"He was bleeding everywhere." Solomon said motioning to the blood he was scrubbing up" so we called the ambulance. The kids told the medics what they had heard when he called you asking for help. "
"Thank you."
Seto got in the car again and demanded to be taken to the hospital.
"He'll be okay wont he?" Joey asked the nurse who was checking over Roy's stats. "Please tell us he'll be okay."
"Your friend will be fine, but I can't tell you more than that." She sighed, "You're not family."
"I'm his guardian!" They all jumped looking to see Seto in the door way. "Tell me right now!"
"Of course, Mr. Kaiba." the woman said, "Mr..."
"Roy." Seto growled. "His name is Roy."
"Roy." she said, in a shaking voice. "Was beat with a cat o nine tails. Badly too. His back split open and was bleeding very badly. How he managed three days after is beyond me he lost a lot of blood. We also have evidence he was stomped on. His back is infected but we're dealing with it. His ribs were fixed and bound, His back was stitched up and he's lucky he wont have any scars. He has a very high fever from the wounds. His ankle is also broken he woke long enough to tell us he jumped out of a two story window. He's on antibiotics and pain killers. He'll be fine. " she cleared her throat. "The doctor also did a rape exam it was negative. He was dehydrated so he's on an IV. "
"Thank you." Seto said , sincerely as he sat at Roy's side. They had Roy on his back which pissed Seto off if Roy's back was hurt then why was he on his back? "Why is Roy on his back? You said his back was hurt, so why is he on his back?!"
Rage was leaking from his voice and he could tell he was scarring her. Yugi, Joey, Tae, and Tristan looked uneasy as well.
"H-His ribs..." she stuttered. "I-I'll get the D-Doctor. "
Roy woke with a moan. He wondered how long he'd been since he'd passed out. Joey was in a chair at his side slumped and sleeping. On his other side Seto was in the same position.
"Uhm...I'm thirsty." He tried to move his hand he was stiff but was able to hit Joey. Joey woke up. " I'm really thirsty."
Joey jumped up and fetched a cup of water for Roy. He braced Roy's head and helped him drink it.
"Is that better?" Joey asked, Roy nodded, They both noted that Seto was awake and watching them. "We thought you weren't going to wake up."
"Why?" Roy asked, his voice was scratchy and his throat really dry.
"You've been in a coma like state for two weeks." Joey said, "You have a rare blood type you know and you lost a lot of it. They don't know why you went into the coma though."
"Uhm..." Roy blinked, "Who are you?" Joey looked hurt. "Wait...I'm sorry...don't be upset...your name is...it's uhm...it's ...uh..."
"I'm Joey." Joey said, "My name is Joey Wheeler."
"Right." Roy said, weakly. "Right, your Joey and I'm...My name is...I'm ...Roy..."
"That's right." Joey said softly. "Your name is Roy. Very good."
Seto sighed, at least he remembered something this time. Though he was confused as to why this seemed to be a pattern for Roy. Going into a coma and forgetting everything. He sighed he had added Roy's rare blood type to his search profile for finding Roy's biological parents. He was determined to find them because he was convince that finding where he came from would make Roy happy.
