*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The group waited..and waited..and waited. 30 minutes had passed and still no sign of Seto Kaiba.
Everybody was very worried at this point, especially Mokuba. Seto was his knight in shining
armour, and without him, Mokuba felt lost and alone. Tea held his hand sypathetically as Joey,
Duke and Yugi went up to Seto's room to see what the hold up was.
They knocked on the door, but when nobody answered Joey turned the knob to see if it was
locked. The knob turned all the way and the door opened. A cold eerie chill came over them all
as their eyes fell on the empty, ran-sacked room.
"No way" Yugi stammered as he stepped inside. Joey and Duke followed close behind.
"What the hell?" Joey faltered as he checked the bathroom.
"This looks bad guys" Duke said as he picked Kaiba's trench coat up off the floor.
"We'd better get a search team together" Joey suggested.
"Uh......guys? I think you'd better have a look at this" Yugi said nervously.
Duke and Joey gathered around Yugi who was holding Kaiba's wallet in his shaking little hand.
Yugi was visibly distraught.
"All the money is gone-so are all his credit cards."
"We'd better get the coppa's on this right away" Joey retorted.
The three of them hurried downstairs and informed everybody of what they'd found. The cops
were called, and an extensive search was done of the hotel. Kaiba was still nowhere to be found.
Mokuba was hysteric. Nothing anybody said or did could calm him down.
The cops wouldn't allow any of them to leave town until they were all cleared of foul play, so the
bands club tour was put on hold. Duke took on the duty of making the necessary calls to Kaiba
Corps to inform them of the problem. They were quick to respond. By 7 o'clock that night, they
had a team of investigators on the scene. They also sent a temporary manager to oversee the
bands' other matters. Duke and Yugi had joined Ryou and Marik in their room while they
nervously waited for any bits of information to come through.
"This just sucks" Marik grumbled as he anxiously tapped his fingers on the table.
"I wish the police would just tell us SOMETHING" Yugi sighed as he flopped back on the bed
and snuggled the pillow. Ryou paced back and forth. He had his arms crossed and a far off look
in his eyes. He walked to the window and stared out.
"I can't get over them thinking we're all suspects. It's obvious who did this"
Duke was sitting at the foot of the bed next to Yugi. He looked up at Ryou inquisitively.
"Who the hell would want to abduct Seto Kaiba?"
Ryou turned around and propped his butt on the window sill.
"I bet his girlfriend, well ex-girlfriend had something to do with it. I overheard them arguing this
morning when I woke up"
Duke raised an eyebrow to Ryou's comment.
"What were they fighting about?"
Ryou hopped off the window sill and started pacing again.
"Something about him cheating on her again"
Duke nodded his head
"I'm not surprised. What makes you think she had something to do with it?"
Ryou shrugged his shoulder
"I don't really know. From what I heard she dumped him. That's what I don't get. If she dumped
him, why would she kidnap him?"
Marik shook his head and got up
"Fuck this. I don't feel like just sitting around waiting for that Ra-damned phone to ring. I'm
going to go down to the bar. You coming Ryou?"
Ryou stopped pacing and leaned his back up against the wall.
"Might as well." he sighed.
"Maybe a few shots will change my perspective on the situation" Ryou chuckled sarcastically as
he followed Marik to the door.
"Hopefully there's a decent selection of women downstairs, a good romp between the sheets
might help change MY perspective" Marik smirked as he opened the door.
Before they could take another step, they came face to face with an unfamiliar face standing in
the doorway.
"HEL-lo" Marik gulped. Ryou just stood there wide-eyed looking at the dark haired woman.
"Hi, I'm Tanya Cantrell, but you can call me Tany.I'm going to be your manager until further
notice. May I come in?"
Marik and Ryou nodded their heads, not saying anything in fears that of they opened their
mouths something stupid would come out.
Tany walked in and sat down at the table. Duke and Yugi smiled at her.
"Hi, I'm Yugi"
"and I'm Duke" They said warmly.
Marik and Ryou closed the door and just stood there staring. Tany stood about 5'9, had black
hair that fell in loose waves just passed her shoulders, and the most stunning brown eyes. She
was dressed in expensive clothes and wore very fine jewelry.
"So let me get this straight; the police are making all of you stay in town until they check out all
your alibi's, correct?"
"Yes, that is correct" Yugi answered seriously.
//That little punk sounds more and more like the pharaoh every fucking day// Bakura snapped
through his mind link with Ryou.
//You darker halves tend to start rubbing off on us light halves after a while// Ryou responded.
//Good for you; Bad for Yugi.// Bakura snorted.
Ryou looked over his shoulder at Marik, who was gawking at Tany like she was supper for a
starving beast. Ryou jabbed him in the ribs with his elbow. Marik winced and glared at Ryou
"Owe!What'd you do that for?" He whined.
Ryou scowled at Marik before walking up to Tany and extending his hand.
"Hello Tany. I'm Ryou Bakura."
Tany flashed her million dollar smile and shook his hand.
"Hello Ryou. Pleased to meet you. Now do any of you mind telling me exactly what's going on
here? All I know is that my boss is MIA and I'm suppose to take over until further notice. I also
heard everybody associated with the band is under investigation in his disappearance. Anything to
add to that?"
Ryou nodded his head
"Yes, I do. We're all innocent. Marik and I were in our room all night. Duke was in his room
fucking some chick, and Yugi was in Tea's sleeping on her floor because Duke's moaning like a
bitch was keeping him awake. All of the road crew has been accounted for too. Kaiba had a fight
with his girlfriend and that's the last we heard of him. We're all innocent and it's bullshit we
have to post-pone our gigs because of this."
Tany crossed her arms and absorbed Ryou's statement.
"I see. So all we're waiting for than is the okay from the police for us to leave and than we can
proceed with the tour." Tany replied matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, that's it" Duke nodded, than turned to Ryou, "and I don't moan like a bitch"
Ryou grinned mischievously back at him.
Tany stood up and started for the door.
"Well, I guess we just have to wait it out. If all your alibi's check out, we should be out of here
soon and back on the road in no time at all. I'll talk to you guys in the morning."
"Okay, see ya" Yugi smiled
"Cio" Duke grinned as he flashed the peace sign.
"Good night" Ryou nodded as he stepped aside to let her through.
"Ah, wa, se, wh, *gulp*" Marik blubbered like a horny idiot as he opened the door for her.
Tany chuckled at Marik's goofiness and left the room. Marik closed the door behind her and
sunk down to a crouching position.
"Kaiba better show his ass up soon. If he doesn't I'm going to lose my fucking mind." Marik
groaned.
"Uh, Marik? I don't think there any more of your mind left to lose" Ryou grinned sarcastically.
Marik stuck his tounge out and stood up.
"You're just jealous because my yami can kick your yami's skinny little ass."
Without warning, Bakura took control of Ryou.
"Excuse me? Would you mind repeating that last statement?"
Marik quickly changed his tune.
"I said you have sexy little ass. I-I think I'm going to go get that drink I promised myself now.
See ya!"
Bakura smiled snidely
"I thought so" he remarked as Marik scurried out the door.
Duke flopped back onto the bed and sighed.
"This yami shit is starting to get on my nerves. If I didn't know any better I'd think you all were
bi-polar and were in need of some serious mental help."
"Hey now! Yami's have feelings too" Yugi remarked defensively.
Duke rolled his eyes and covered his head with the pillow.
"Wake me up when this is all over" he grumbled.
Bakura allowed Ryou control of their body once again.
"I think I'll join Marik for a couple of drinks." he said to Yugi.
"Okay. I'll let you know if we hear anything"
"Excellent" Ryou smiled as he hurried down to the hotel bar to join Marik.
Very early the next morning, Ryou woke up not really knowing where he was. He was still fully
clothed, even his shoe laces were still tied. His head was pounding from what felt like a doozie of
a hangover coming on. The room was dark and a little chilly. Ryou reached for the covers, only
to feel somebody laying next to him. He started scooting over, only to find somebody else on the
other side of him.
"This is not good" He thought to himself. He was beginning to feel a little queezy, and knew
he'd have to throw up in a matter of minutes. Ryou tried maneuvering carefully out of the bed
without disturbing whoever was on either side of him, but as he sat up, he started feeling dizzy
and fell back onto the pillow.
"Shit" he mumbled as he accidently jostled the person on his left.
"hmm?" the person groaned sleepily. It sounded like Yugi.
"Sorry, I need to use the bathroom" Ryou wimpered as he hopped out of bed. His stomach felt
like it would explode any second. Ryou ran to the bathroom as fast as he could....making it in
just in the knick of time. After heaving his guts out, Ryou leaned back on the bathtub and closed
his eyes. He silently tried recalling what had happened the night before. He remembered Marik
challenging him to a drinking contest, doing upside-down margarita's, than it all went fuzzy.
Ryou started feeling dizzy again and dozed off on the bathroom floor. Next thing he knew, Yugi
was kneeling over him shaking his arm gently.
"Ryou, wake up"
Ryou rubbed his eyes and squinted at Yugi
"What" he said grogily.
"The cops are down in the lobby! Tany said they want to arrest Duke for Kaiba's kidnapping!"
Ryou couldn't believe his ears.
"Say what? Duke didn't do anything!"
"The police claim to have some sort of evidence on him" Yugi explained as he stood up.
Ryou slowly got to his feet, using Yugi's shoulder as a support. His head was still spinning from
drinking too much booze.
"They can't. It's fake, somebody's is setting him up."
Ryou stumbled out of the bathroom and found Tany nervously standing around and Duke sitting
on the bed with his face buried in his hands.
"What's going on?" Ryou asked as he sat next to him on the bed.
Duke looked up at Ryou with anguish written all over his face.
"I didn't do anything, I swear!" He exclaimed.
Ryou nodded his head
"I know, but why did they single you out?"
Tany stepped forward. She didn't look very happy at first, but when her eyes met Ryou's, her
facial expression lightened slightly.
"They can't find the girl he was with that night to verify his alibi."
Ryou let out a long sigh.
"So what do we do now?" he asked, looking directly at Tany.
Duke looked up, suddenly becoming very serious.
"I have to talk to them. I have to make them see I'm innocent."
Ryou, Duke, Yugi, and Tany all walked down to the lobby slowly. Cops were eveywhere. Tea
was sitting on a couch comfoting Mokuba, who was still sobbing uncontrollably.
Marik was also there. As they got to the bottom of the stairs, Duke was quickly yanked away.
An officer ask him to state his full name and than started reading him
his rights. Marik charged forward angrily ready to swing.
"Hey, you can't do this!"
A female officer moved in front of Marik.
"Sir, please back away"
Marik stared at her with his jaw dropped.
"Sir, you need to back away" She stated again, this time a bit harsher.
Marik held his hands up in mock surrender and stepped back two tiny
steps. A grin spread over his face.
"Yes Ma'am, Officer..." he looked at her chest raising his
eyebrows. "Officer C.Lange"
The officer glared at Marik. He grinned back.
Ryou grabbed Marik's arm yanking him back.
"Damn it Marik, you're fucking hopeless!"
Marik stood by Ryou, his arms crossed staring at Officer Lange. She
turned away. Marik scootched closer behind her and whispered loudly
in her ear.
"You and me and a pair of handcuffs. Baby, you can play cops and
robbers with me any day"
Officer Lange turned to look at Marik a look of complete disbelief
on her face.
"Excuse me? Did you just threaten me sir?"
Her voice was obtrusive and every cop in the room turned and stared
at them. Marik stuck his bottom lip out at her.
"Awe, don't play bad cop. I just want to be friends"
Ryou grabbed Marik again
"Cut it out" he snarled at him.
Marik turned all doey eyed at officer Lange. Ryou rolled his eyes.
"I'm SO sorry" Ryou said to the officer "He was bitten by cobra
when he was little and he hasn't been right in the head ever
since"
Marik gave Ryou a sidelong look then grinned at the officer
"It was really a wolf"
Marik then lifted his head and howled just like a wolf. The officer couldn't hold back her
laughter. Marik had just won her over. Ryou looked at Marik in total
amazement. Marik then sided up to the officer
"So what do you say? What time do you get off?"
Officer Lange stared at Marik a few seconds then looked at Ryou who
shrugged.
"I'm not putting in a good word for him. I've always thought he was insane."
Officer Lange looked back at Marik and sighed softly.
"I get off in an hour, and, My name is Caroline.
Marik's face lit up like Christmas lights.
"That's my favorite name! Caroline! Just like the song."
He started singing "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond.
Officer Lange blushed bright red.
"You're like an angel Caroline. You're so beautiful"
Ryou rolled his eyes thinking Caroline would be a schmuck to buy that
line. But she did. Her whole face brightened up and she smiled ear to
ear. Ryou shook his head. What sort of power did Marik have that he
could even charm a cop into bed, and there was no doubt in Ryou's mind
she'd end up in bed with Marik before the night was over. They always did.
"I'll meet you at the station in an hour"
Officer Caroline nodded her head. Marik gave Ryou a smug look then turned
towards Duke who had his hands against the wall being searched.
"Hey now! leave him alone!"
Marik demanded again. Caroline pulled Marik out of the room to keep him
quiet. They all watched helpless as the police treated Duke like a common
criminal. They then handcuffed his hands behind his back after
reading him his rights and explaining what he was being charged with.
He gave them a sharp nod when they asked if he understood his rights.
He gave them all a fleeting glance. He looked so vulnerable as they dragged
him out to an awaiting squad car. Ryou followed the cops out the door and
watched the squad car drive away helplessly. When he went back
inside found Marik and Officer Caroline locked together in a
passionate kiss. Ryou shook his head again then started walking up to his room.
//Ryou?// Bakura ask through their mind link.
//What// Ryou snapped back.
//Want me to take over for a while? I can sense you need a break//
//I don't care. Take over as long as you want. I tired of all the bullshit// Ryou grumbled.
Bakura quickly took control of Ryou's body. Before he could say anything, he felt somebody tap
him on the shoulder.
"What!" he said sharply as he spun around. "Oh.......it's just you"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Whoo hoo! Wasn't that a surprise now? Poor Dukey's in the slammer and Ryou has given Bakura
full control indefinately!!!! And what's up with Marik? Hitting on cops? Sheesh, what's
this story coming to??? Well, I hope you enjoyed that little chappie....I promise there's going to
be alot more coming your way before Thanksgiving break!!! Thank you for reading!!!

Officer Lange blushed bright red.
"You're like an angel Caroline. You're so beautiful"
Ryou rolled his eyes thinking Caroline would be a schmuck to buy that
line. But she did. Her whole face brightened up and she smiled ear to
ear. Ryou shook his head. What sort of power did Marik have that he
could even charm a cop into bed, and there was no doubt in Ryou's mind
she'd end up in bed with Marik before the night was over. They always did.
"I'll meet you at the station in an hour"
Officer Caroline nodded her head. Marik gave Ryou a smug look then turned
towards Duke who had his hands against the wall being searched.
"Hey now! leave him alone!"
Marik demanded again. Caroline pulled Marik out of the room to keep him
quiet. They all watched helpless as the police treated Duke like a common
criminal. They then handcuffed his hands behind his back after
reading him his rights and explaining what he was being charged with.
He gave them a sharp nod when they asked if he understood his rights.
He gave them all a fleeting glance. He looked so vulnerable as they dragged
him out to an awaiting squad car. Ryou followed the cops out the door and
watched the squad car drive away helplessly. When he went back
inside found Marik and Officer Caroline locked together in a
passionate kiss. Ryou shook his head again then started walking up to his room.
//Ryou?// Bakura ask through their mind link.
//What// Ryou snapped back.
//Want me to take over for a while? I can sense you need a break//
//I don't care. Take over as long as you want. I tired of all the bullshit// Ryou grumbled.
Bakura quickly took control of Ryou's body. Before he could say anything, he felt somebody tap
him on the shoulder.
"What!" he said sharply as he spun around. "Oh.......it's just you"
