"What will it be, Seto? The money? Or your little brother?" Asked Cayman snidely.
Seto stood in front of him, face arranged into a cold mask that gave nothing away. Inside, However, he was a complete mess, wracking his brain for some alternate solution that would make sure he would come out on top.
Suddenly, he had a Brilliant idea, but kept his face the same.
"Fine, Jakobe. If you want your money, you can have it."
"Excellent. That will be five million dollars, please."
"I'll bring it back out to you in a minute."
"Better hurry. Don't want your brother to get hurt, do you?" He taunted.
Seto said nothing as he went back inside.
He recruited his chief of security and told him of his plan, which he quickly agreed to. Grayson Pierce headed out the back way and went all the way to the police station as Kaiba put all the money in a steel briefcase. Then, stopping by the technological wing of the building, he took one of the almost microscopic tracking devices and activated it before he hid it somewhere in the briefcase. He closed the case and then walked out in front of the building.
Cayman stood there, clearly pleased with his work. He opened up the case and watched Jakobe's eyes light up as he saw the money.
"Five million dollars. It's all here."
"I'm no fool. Let me count the money myself."
"Fine."
While counting the money, Cayman was also looking for tracking devices. He figured that Kaiba was smart enough to find a way to track his money. He checked inside and out, but found nothing.
He would have never thought to check in the hinges at the bottom of the briefcase.
Only Seto Kaiba had developed the technology to make something that small. It was the same device he had planted in the duel disk systems during the Battle City Tournament. Now he could truly appreciate his own genius.
Jakobe was about to reach for the briefcase when Kaiba slammed it shut and snatched away.
"Where's my little brother?"
"Give me the money and I'll tell you."
"Why should I believe you? How do I know you're not just going to run away once I give it to you?"
"I may be a lot of things, Mr. Kaiba, but I would be nothing if I was not a man of my word."
Still deeply suspicious, he slowly set the briefcase in his foe's hands.
"807 Clayborne Street. Warehouse K."
"How do I know you're not lying?"
Cayman ordered the crony showing Mokuba's location go outside and show the address. His words were true.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Kaiba."
With that, he walked away, and Seto made a mad dash for his limousine- but he was not dismayed. Grayson was more than capable of leading the police to wherever Cayman took the money. He had bigger things to worry about. With a squeal of the tires, Kaiba was speeding toward the warehouse district.
Meanwhile, Mokuba was staring at the grime-covered floor of the large warehouse where he was chained to the wall. There were uncovered pipes coated in rust that was dripping down the sides and onto the already brown and dirty walls. The warehouse itself smelled of raw sewage, and it made Mokuba nauseous just thinking about it. But he couldn't get sick- he was gagged and chained. At first he had been absolutely terrified when he had woken up. The last thing he remembered was someone popping up out of the trunk and hitting him over the head. He had wanted to cry so badly, but once he saw he was being watched, he kept it together. He swept his fearful emotions under the rug and only kept his face in an expression of righteous anger. When he heard that his big brother was on his way, his body sagged in relief.
Yugi Moto was walking home from school when he saw the police chasing a man in a business suit. Yugi and Yami both sensed the impending danger and decided to help catch him. Slipping into the next alley, he stuck a foot out, tripping the thief and allowing the police to catch him.
When Kaiba arrived at the district, he didn't care what was waiting for him in that warehouse. All he could think about was Mokuba. Even though he had already seen what his brother was going through, his imagination still decided to mess with him. He could see it all so clearly: Mokuba huddled in some dark closet, wondering if it was safe to come out; Mokuba lying cold on some filthy floor, bleeding to death; Mokuba crying out for help, with no one to comfort him. Scenario on top of scenario ran through his mind the closer he got to warehouse K.
When at last he reached the door, he could see the man guarding it. He swooped in like a hawk and swiftly brought him down. He grabbed the key that unlocked the chains from inside of his jacket pocket. Another man sneaked up behind him, intending to taser him, but Kaiba's newfound instincts served him well, and he ducked down and swept the man's legs out from under him before grabbing the taser and making sure they were both down. When he was certain that no one else was there, he finally set his sights on his brother. He ran to him and pulled the gag out of his mouth before unlocking his chains. Mokuba instantly wrapped his arms and legs around his brother and started to cry. Kaiba's phone beeped. He only stayed on long enough to hear Grayson say that Cayman was captured, and to tell him to send the police to the warehouse to pick up two more. He slipped his phone back into his pocket and hugged his little brother tightly.
"It's alright, Mokuba. They will never ever hurt you again. I promise."
