Brood: Hello! Here is chapter four! Oh, and no annoying Zutsokaki today!
He's been taken captive by Wingleader Sora Jade for ransom! The ransom is
another chapter of my main project story, "Another Chance at Everything!"
Dagnabbit.....and it was HIS day to do dishes around here.....oh well,
enjoy this latest chaper of poor Joey and his quest for a job! What will
Kaiba do when he finds Joey? Hmmm.....guess we'll just have to find out!
CHAPTER 4
Joey sighed as he looked up at the looming Kaiba Corporation building.
When he finally resigned himself to going there, he didn't want Kaiba to notice that he was actually LOOKING for a job there. So, opting to take the bus instead of his whipped creame car, (which was at home drying in the sun with the creame all over it) and didn't bring the newspaper with him. That would really make it look like he was looking for that job.
Although being a tester for video games sounded really fun, it was the employer he was the most worried about. The thought of Seto Kaiba having fun and ordering him around and issuing his paychecks was almost unbearable, but it was actually the only job he could find in the paper that day for guys his age.
Joey sighed again, and wondered how exactly he was going to pull this off. Was he really going to just walk in there and tell the lady at the front desk that he wanted the job? Or would he just go inside and wait.....
He decided to walk inside and decide what to do when he was inside. He geared himself up and took the first steps towards the building.
Just then though, a huge black limo pulled up on the side of the road, and a man got out of the car and opened the door.
"What are you doing here, Doggy boy? Why aren't you back at McDonalds flipping burgers and giving screaming children their Crappy Meals?"
Seto Kaiba. So he hadn't been inside anyway. Oh well. But here he was, and was already beginning the insults. Mokuba scurried out from behind his brother munching on a fry.
"Is it against the law to take a walk around here, Kaiba?" Joey glared back at Seto.
"In the business part of town? What would you be doing here anyway?" Seto eyed him curiously.
"I was........." Joey looked around the block, and spotted a Lenscrafters. "I was finding a place to get Shizuka some reading glasses!"
"Right. I suppose. She got the operation, did she not?"
"Right! But that doesn't stop normal sight problems from happening, does it? She just needs to get some light reading glasses!"
"Say.....Joey.....had you happened to see the article I put in the newspaper for today?" Seto smirked a little bit at Joey.
Joey sweatdropped heavily. "Me? No, I didn't read it at all! Why would I want to read the paper when I was working earlier!" He narrowed his eyes, hoping to get the point accross. Seto looked back at Joey, then grinned.
"Then would you mind helping me with something? I'm sure you wouldn't......"
Mokuba looked up at his brother and widened his eyes. He felt for a moment like shaking his head at Joey, but then decided against it, since his brother would find out.
"Like what, Kaiba? Why would I do something for you?" He really wasn't sure where Seto was getting at, but it probably wasn't good.....
"Maybe you could help try out a new game I've made.....I haven't tested it yet, and it needs to be done. Would you mind helping out?" Seto smirked and looked Joey straight in the eyes.
Joey could not believe his dumb luck. He grinned at Kaiba cunningly and threw in a, "Will I get PAID for doing something like this for you? After all, I may get permanent brain damage from this thing.....I would like to be paid for taking a big risk like this......."
Seto closed his eyes and grinned, sweeping his arms in a Pegasus-like movement. "Of COURSE you will be paid! Why would I EVER want to put you in danger and not PAY you for it....like you need anymore brain damage anyway...."
"Hey!"
"I wouldn't question a good thing, Dog breath. Oh, and by the way, I took the liberty of telling one of my higher ups who can keep his mouth closed to go and fire the manager on duty at that McDonalds you work at. She really shouldn't have mouthed off to me like that....."
Joey stopped suddenly. Kaiba was FIRING the manager on duty? How could he do that? He realized that Kaiba had numerous connections and all....but to get Marlene fired......wait. The manager on DUTY! Joey almost laughed out loud. Marlene left soon after she and Kaiba had that tiff! Malik was going to be the one getting the boot! Joey had his head turned away from Kaiba at the time, so he erased his huge grin and turned back to him.
"How could you do a thing like that, Kaiba?" He tried his best to scowl.
"Because that manager of yours was an idiot to try and hush me....." He was going to say more, but a car drove by on the road next to them and a girl with not pink hair leaned out of the window and screamed her undying love to Seto, standing on the sidewalk. Another girl in the car who looked similar to her yanked her back inside with unnecesarry roughness.
Seto sweatdropped. "Why don't we take this inside?" He immediatly strode past Joey and he reluctantly followed him inside with Mokuba.
Inside, Seto was greeted by his secretary, and a few associates as they made their way to the Virtual Testing Room. Joey looked around at the large and lavish lobby that they walked through, and since he wasn't watching where he was going, nearly smacked into the door frame as they left the room.
When they were finally inside of the room, Joey spotted a large chair with shield door on it, much like the old ones he had used with Yugi and Mokuba to rescue Kaiba. He glanced at Kaiba, and he motioned for Joey to step inside.
"I trust that you have your dueling deck with you?" Seto eyed him wearily.
"Never leave home without it." Joey pulled it out of his pocket.
"Good, because this whole thing would be pointless without it. Now get inside, and put your deck into the reader." He waved his hand at the open pod, and Joey slowly climbed inside. It was much different when he was going in with Yugi and Mokuba, but now with Kaiba at the controls, he wasn't sure what to think.
Joey kept his eyes on Seto the whole time he was getting in, watching for any trace of malice in the billionare's eyes. It didn't help much, as Seto didn't show emotion easily. Joey placed his deck inside of the reader and sat down, reclining his back on the soft seat.
The visor came down over his eyes and he caught a glimpse at Mokuba. Mokuba himself looked sympathetic. That wasn't a good sign. Joey geared himself up for what was to come.
As Seto reached for the handle, he got a rather large and sadistic grin.
Brood: Well NOW Seto is his manager.....lol! Hehehe! Sort of! AND he got Malik fired, I think! Oh, and I am leaving Wednesday and not coming back until Friday evening for Thanksgiving! I think Miss Sora Jade is letting me have Zutsokaki for for awhile, but he has to come back quietly or she will set off that shock button she has attached to him....oh well. When I return, I fully expect to have a nice full inbox with review notices! Hint hint! HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!
Fuu Fuu Choco Taco: *runs in* Turkey good! I like it with CHOCOLATE PUDDING!
Brood: -.-;; If you don't know where the chibi of me came from, check out the author notes of chapter 14 of my other story, Another Chance at Everything....bai bai for now, all of you!
