LOL mandapandabug you make me smile every time I read one of you reviews. You're so close in my mind that it's scary LOL. But, sorry, I won't tell you if you're right or getting close to the right answer. n_n Thank you all for your kind reviews. Here starts the piecing together the puzzle. It'll take a few chapters to make sense of everything going on, but don't worry. I won't leave you hanging with unanswered questions at the end of the story. I'm going to start this chapter out a little small and the action will be in the next chapter. Building suspense again LOL. If you feel like you're on a rollercoaster ride, good I was planning on that. Anyway let's get this started.

Warnings: more shounen ai between Seto and Jou but not as much as I would love for them to have, I'm sorry. It's not time for it yet.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Chapter Eleven

Jou tapped his pencil along the desk in a rhythm he didn't know he was making. He stared aimlessly at Kaiba's statement and the crime scene photos. Nothing was making sense. It had been four months since Kaiba's return and no word from his kidnappers nor any clues on what they wanted from the CEO. Nothing was adding up. Nothing made sense. There should have been another attempt on Kaiba's life or even some reason why they injected him with a mystery drug. Why did they untie him when they knew he was resourceful enough to escape? What could they possibly be planning and who were they? Jou pulled at his blond hair and sighed. Keto was off today, said something about a doctor's appointment, but Jou wasn't listening. Keto was a nice guy and never mentioned to their captain that Kaiba and Jou knew each other.

Jou smiled. If he had, Jou would have never experience the day he had two months ago. Jou leaned back in his chair, thinking about his sexy lover. He knew that he didn't object to their verbal fights back in high school only because he enjoyed the attention he received from Kaiba even if it was arguing. They still saw each other every other night, but Jou no longer slept on the chair. He stared down at a picture of Kaiba. "What could they possibly want with you?" he muttered and slipped his head down on the desk. He went through the time frame in his mind. "They kept Kaiba trapped for a little over a week in his own bedroom with his guards knowing they were there. How did they convince them that they were a part of Kaiba's staff? Maybe they hacked into Kaiba's system and added their names to his list and uploaded pictures of themselves. Then before they left, they deleted them." Jou shook his head. "Kaiba said his system wasn't touched. He did a severe check when his eyesight returned. After that they took him to that small building six miles from Domino. Three weeks later he escaped but not before they injected him with a drug that took his vision away from two months. The drug vanished from his system before the doctor could do any blood work. Could it have been for something else other than causing his blindness?"

Jou quickly move things around in his papers. "His clothes had no traces of anything on them. His room was clean except for that notebook I found. The house that he was trapped in was spotless. No evidence there. Kaiba did say he's been having trouble with his board members wanting to replace him. Could they be behind this? This whole thing screams that they just wanted Kaiba out of the way." The blond drummed his fingers on the desk. He reached into his desk and pulled out the business reports for the past five months. "Nothing was happening in the business world that would have qualified this as a rival business trying to stop Kaiba Corp. In fact, the only company in the newspapers was Kaiba Corp. and them opening up that newest park that wasn't doing too well until recently. Ever since Kaiba's return, his business has been prospering. The board wouldn't try to get rid of him now that he was bring more money in than normal."

Closing his eyes, Jou rested his head on the desk. He cursed Kaiba for keeping him up all night, but it was worth it. His sexy lover did wonders to his body. He shivered remembering all the sensations that Kaiba's skillful fingers brought about. Shaking his head and pulling on his hair, Jou tried to focus on something else. At least he'd be able to go home tonight and sleep, though he'll miss Kaiba. He didn't like the ever other day thing, but he didn't want to draw attention to himself. Keto knew that Mokuba asked him to help watch Kaiba because of his nightmares, but with Kaiba's eyesight returning, could that excuse keep the suspicions away. "I want you," he mumbled. He was completely lovesick over Kaiba. He couldn't believe it happened so quickly as if they were dating for years and suddenly took the next step. But, something about this whole situation was like they needed each other. Sometimes Jou would think he couldn't live without Kaiba and often wondered if Kaiba felt the same.

The blond glanced up at the clock and sighed. "A nice cool shower when I get home would be nice," he thought, putting all the files away in his desk. He walked out of the office, waving to the other detectives who were packing up their things. It felt different getting off around noon, but he was there all morning. Jou yawned and continued down the street. The freezing air blew around him. Putting his hands in his pockets, Jou decided to walk home. Normally Keto would drive him home, but he wasn't there today. He climbed the eight flights of stairs up to his apartment. He sat too long today and wanted to exercise as much as he could. Opening the door to his neat apartment. He set his keys down on the table by the door and hung his jacket in the closet.

Walking into his living room, he glanced at the bookcase full of law books and several action DVD movies. He debated on either reading a book or watching a movie, but decided on neither. He fell into the soft cushions of his maroon couch. Tucking the pillow under his head, he lied on his stomach and fell instantly to sleep, cursing Kaiba for keeping him up all night for the second time that day. Unknown to the sleeping blond, a dark figured moved from the bedroom and into the living room. He smirked and glanced down at him, thinking how easily he could kill this man. He didn't know why his boss wanted to leave a note with the detective, but it wasn't his job to question. He lifted the corner of Jou's shirt and shoved the note into his back. He quietly left the apartment as Jou rolled over with a soft moan. His dream world shifted to Kaiba.

The brunet caressed Jou's cheek, pulling the detective into his embrace. They stared into each other's eyes before moving closer and crashing their lips together. Jou wrapped his arms around Kaiba's waist, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the soft kiss. Kaiba licked his lover's lower lip, feeling him relinquish control to him. He inserted his tongue, caressing Jou's bottom teeth before meeting the other tongue in a silent battle. Kaiba gripped Jou's hips, grinding them together. Jou moaned, unable to keep control of himself. He slowly stripped his lover of his clothes and pulled him down to the bed that mysteriously appeared. "Come, love, let me make love to you tonight," Jou whispered.

Kaiba shivered and allowed the blond to lead him down to the bed. His back crashed with the soft mattress, making a wave of pillows and blankets splash away from the two lovers. Jou caressed the soft naked skin in front of him, and he ran the top of his fingers down Kaiba's sides to his legs. He massaged the CEO's thighs, enjoying the noises his lover was making. He kissed his way down Kaiba's chest. Suddenly his lover vanished, and he was staring at his couch in the dark light. "Even in my dreams you can't leave me alone!" Jou growled in frustration, feeling his erection poking into his waist.

Jou got up, looking at the clock and noticing that he slept the rest of the day away; it was ten thirty at night. He rubbed his eyes and stretched his back. Feeling something sliding down his back, he reached behind him and took the envelope in his hands. Worried that someone got into his apartment, Jou reached for his sidearm that he still had attached to his side and quietly got up. He glanced down at the door, noticing that it was locked. He moved further down the hallway and looked into his small kitchen, making sure no one was hiding behind the counter. He glanced into his bedroom, first checking behind the door before he moved into the room fully. No one was anywhere, and he knew he didn't have a note shoved under his jacket on the way home. He would have felt it instantly. Turning on all the lights, Jou made his way back to the living room, he took out a pair of latex gloves and walked over to his kit on the bookshelf. He first dusted the envelope for prints. Finding none but his own, he slowly opened the envelope and eased the thin beige paper out of the white envelope. He dusted that for prints before reading the neatly written words: "My dear detective, no matter how much you stare at those documents, you'll never find the plan that I've hidden in plain view. But, since I like your working style, I'm going to give you a chance to stop my plan. That is if you are reading this any time before midnight."

Jou glanced up at the time. He had about an hour. "Mr. Kaiba is more than just a kidnapped victim. I suggest you find him if you plan on stopping my plan." Jou's eyes widened as he shoved the paper and envelope into his pocket and grabbed his cell phone. His heart raced, thinking about his lover being in trouble again more than figuring out how the person got into his apartment. He ran out the door, shoving his jacket on as he dialed Kaiba's number. No one picked up at the house. He hung up and tried the cell phone. A very tired Mokuba answered. "Mokuba, is your brother there?"

The teenager yawned and glanced back at the bed. Kaiba wasn't feeling good that day and wanted to go to bed early. Mokuba followed soon after, curling up next to his brother, who moaned and twisted in his sleep. His eyes instantly awoke, looking at the empty bed. "No, is something wrong?"

"Look for him everywhere in that house. I'm going to the precinct and put out a BOLO. Call me back whether you find him or not."

"What is going on, Jou?"

"No time to explain. Please trust me." Jou hung up and ran the whole way to the station. He stopped at the second floor to make the BOLO and put out an APP for all the cars that Kaiba owned and Kaiba himself. He had a bad feeling about this whole thing. What could those people do to Kaiba? Why didn't Mokuba wake when Kaiba left the room? Did anyone try to stop Kaiba? Did someone kidnap him again? Worry etched across his face as he waited for any information on the whereabouts of Seto Kaiba.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Kaiba pulled along side of the road directly in front of a two story white house. He slouched out of the car door and slammed it shut. His hollow black eyes saw nothing around him. He stared up at the house, not moving for the longest time. An electric shock ran through his body, causing the CEO to fall to his knees. He breathed unevenly as the world around him swirled. Why was he here? What made him leave the mansion? A headache pounded, causing Kaiba to collapse on the ground. A few minutes past before he rose again. He took a few steps closer to the house, unable to control his body anymore. The white front door broke easily to his strong kick, alerting everyone in the house that someone was breaking in. He moved in a trance towards the kitchen and looked at the supply of knives. The butcher knife was missing. His body turned on its own and moved upstairs to the main bedroom. The door was shut, but it made no difference to Kaiba. Kicking open the door, Kaiba entered into the room and glance down at the two people in the room with his blank eyes.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry cliffhanger. I know you hate me for that, but don't worry. I'll have the next chapter up quickly. I didn't want to get into the scene inside that house until the next chapter. If you still don't know who the evil boss is, don't worry. I haven't given enough clues on who that person is. Thank you for reading. Please review.
