Last time: He left no room for argument and he watched handcuffs being placed on Eric…him swearing about ruining Kaiba. No one noticed the entire office as well as the geek-squad stare at him When he called Tea his…..
Chapter 53: Dead end part 2
The excitement of the office had died down somewhat now onto the drama part when a yell was heard "Whadja just say moneybags?" Joey said, face reddening, hands fisted as he got ready to pounce on the bastard. Tristan held Joey back knowing all would be explained when they got out of the hospital but Kaiba was never one to lie like that in public….Tea was his? WTF?
"Joey! Joey!" Tea said going over to him to try and talk sense into him so they could all leave the hospital peacefully—all in one piece. Everyone was just going to have to get over her and Kaiba. She was allowed happiness too. The past….her past 5000 years ago with the Pharaoh. So high priests of pharaohs ran away with the Queen these days too right?
"Hmph!" Joey said cooling down as he saw Tea in front of him trying to talk to him. His drama might end up hurting her so he'd wait when he and moneybags were alone….then punch his lights out.
"I don't have time for this. I have to check on Mokuba. He was about to pull out his cell phone when Yugi's voice stopped him and put his phone away ignoring people's stares and whispers that 'he bought a young boy a cell phone?' and 'that's how he shows his love for his brother?' and 'that's what happens when you're rich?'
"Last I heard he was with grandpa at the game shop. Thought it might be safer for him to have adult supervision Kaiba." Yugi said. Kaiba's look showed that he was sort of grateful to Yugi….it was just that pharaoh that was irritating and needed to go back home. He was trying to steal his woman.
"So we all head towards the game shop then." Mai said in a merry voice as she smoothed her skirt out and started planning with Tea who was now ignoring Joey who was trying to get her attention. She wouldn't have her friend Joey degrade Seto in front of her. The guys went silent wondering how and when they had given Mai authority at all. First it was her knowledge of where the girls would be…..surely she was a mind-reader. It was scary….she was scary sometimes.
"Joey your woman scares me sometimes." Tristan said.
"She ain't my woman!" Joey said crossing his arms.
'Sure she isn't' everyone thought.
That thought said everyone made their way towards the game shop ignoring the doctors, the patients and the pouting receptionist. "You're okay then?" Kaiba asked Tea as they walked together down the stairs of the main hospital wing.
"Yeah…I don't really know about her though." Tea said nodding towards Serenity who had been silent so far even ignoring her brother who was trying to talk to her. It looked like everything would be explained at the game shop in front of grandpa and Mokuba maybe.
Mai and Joey led the way—Joey making soft conversation with Mai. Some wondered what Joey saw in Mai-she was kind of bossy and stubborn? Maybe he just liked those lavender/purple eyes of hers. Thankfully the hospital and shop were close by that everyone could just walk.
Kaiba was not looking forward to going to the game shop and making conversation with the geek-squad. He was just interested in his brother and Tea. But he had to go to find out what was really going on….no matter how horrible, hurtful or earth shattering shocking they might be.
-Domino Jail-
He tried prying the bars, banging on them-anything that would work but nothing helped. No one was listening. "How long do I have to rot in this prison? I have places to go, things to do and people to see!" Eric said.
He had one phone call—yes perhaps it was time to make that one call to his wife who lived at the edge of Domino in her own apartment. He visited her every now and then. She would be the one to get him out of here hopefully he'd get bail and then he'd have his fun. The kids and Tea's mother would never know he had gotten out of prison for the time being.
But he didn't have plans of ever going back. He had friends in high places-which was how he had found Tea and her mother living alone and so lonely in the first place. Everyone needed a little love in life…no matter how they got it. Tea didn't know what she was missing and she was going to get it from him. Seto Kaiba turned out to be a jerk. He had originally thought Kaiba would help…help he did… to save Tea!
They would hit a dead end and then they'd be answering to him. He sat back in his chair as he gazed into the darkness his imagination running wild about him and Tea. Surely Tea would bear him a child wouldn't she?
Strange things happened in Domino….strange things indeed.
