Cry of Echoes

Seto inhaled a great breath and studied the riddle more closely. He engraved it into his mind then rutted his brow. He went into deep thought. There's gotta be a clue he was missing here, he rubbed his chin some.

Wanna know where the Second might be?

It's not very far, I guarantee!

The Music is such Sweet Grand!

Don't fret Seto the answer is in your hand!

Yami raise a brow, he watched his features closely. He rubbed his own chin, "Any thoughts?" he gave him a wondering look.

"Look here… Second, The Music and Sweet Grand are all capitalized." Seto pointed out for him.

"Yes…" Yami viewed it as well, "I see." He thought it over himself as he wondered what it meant. It must be something important. "You think there's a hidden message within it?"

Joey then looked up with a small cringed and peeked the note over with a curios thought. "Yeah," he rubbed his forehead roughly, "That could be so Yami. You think so Seto?" he viewed up to him.

"Let's see, anyone have a pen and paper?" Seto sat up a bit and felt his leg throb in continues motion. He cringed somewhat and knew he had to be careful with his leg. He didn't need to injury it even more. He frowned.

"Yeah I have a pen," Yugi perked up. He took it out of his pocket and handed over to him then watched while his brother went to their car's glove compartment and took out a small scrap of paper.

Seto accepted the requested objects with a wrinkled brow and began to scribble down each of the capital letters. He sighed deep with his face lined up serious, "Let's see, S, T, M, S, G," he bit his lip as he studied them.

Yugi widened his eyes a little, "Do you think its spells something?"

Seto shrugged somewhat, "Maybe... but I don't see anything words."

"Maybe it means something else." Joey inhaled a short breath then winched at his sore side. "Man… bad idea," he groaned out and almost wished he hadn't taken in that breath. He ribs felt as if they were on fire.

"You okay Joey?" Seto turned to him. The serious on his face was now replaced with some slight concern. He furrowed his brow on how hurt Joey was and wished he hadn't gotten him involved in the fight at the park. He frowned a little, "You don't look so well."

"Yeah, I'm okay babe." Joey ignored his pain and instead went back to the riddle. "Do you think it means something else Set?" He pointed at it and hoped his love wouldn't make a big deal about him.

"Hmmm…" Seto mumbled, at the way Joey looked he didn't believe him. He shook his head slightly then turned back to the riddle instead. "Could be," he rubbed his chin again thoughtfully. "Give me a minute to think," then slowly he felt the wheels turned in his mind.

"Well what's the verdict?" Bakura walked up to the car and handed over the first envelope. "Here, you don't want to forget this," he sighed a bit.

Joey grabbed it, "Thanks Bakura." He set it down on the car floor before he looked back up at him with a raised brow. "What did that guy tell you?" he licked his cut lip to smooth his wound.

"Not much I'm afraid," Marik chimed in jadedly. "You were right though, you were set up by some…" he rubbed his chin for a moment, "Blond guy."

Joey then perked up at the sound of that, "Blond?"

"Yeah," Bakura nodded as he confirmed that, "Ring any bells?"

Joey looked at him acutely as he thought. "I don't know. Seto," he faced him and laced his voice with some dread. "Do you think he's that guy we saw on the TV… with Mokuba?"

Seto sighed and viewed the note instead as he ignored the question. He just wanted to solve the riddle so they can find the other clue and save his baby brother from this creep. "Not very far hmmm," he thought intensely when suddenly he got an odd feeling. "Guys, let's head back to the park."

"Why, you got something?" Yami then turned to him a bit eagerly.

"I'm not sure…" Seto looked up and creased his brow, "But I want to check something out."

They nodded and hurried to their cars then headed back to the park with Yami in the lead. Ten minutes later Yami stopped at the park and gazed over the grounds. "Okay we're here, now what?"

Seto viewed out the window jadedly. "Drive around," he simply replied.

Yami inhaled a breath and proceeded to do so in silence. It wasn't until a few minutes later when he finally interrupted the silence in the air. "What are we looking for?" he was starting to get anxious.

"Yami…" Seto perked up a bit when he noticed something else, "Stop the car for a sec."

Yami raised a brow. He viewed his serious face through the view mirror. "What is it?"

Seto studied his scribblings close before he answered his friend. He wanted to make sure he got something. "The letters…" he sighed a bit shakily, "They add up to five."

"So?" Joey leaned over for a sec and viewed the note.

"So," Seto creased his brow in more thought. "Look at the street sign that's heading down that way. It reads Fifth Avenue." He felt a small shiver run through him, "Yami lets drive down there."

Yami turned to the right and slowly drove down the street. He gazed from left to right to viewed different businesses. "Do you know what we're looking for?" he briefly asked again when unexpectedly.

"Hold it!"

Yami then pulled to a stop in a loud screeched, "What!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Mokuba sniffled and waited for Eizo's answer for his question. However, in the back of his mind he already knew the answer. So, with a shaky breath he asked again, "E-Eizo…" he shifted a little to the side, "He's planning on killing me right?" he chewed on his lip anxiously as he waited for an answer.

Eizo saddened his features, "You want the truth?"

Mokuba thought it over once more before he replied, "Yeah... I do."

Eizo sighed deep, "Yes… he said he will," he frowned more at the awful thought. He just shook his head with great disapproval.

Mokuba's lip began to tremble as the thought of dying terrified him to no end. He didn't want to die, not like this. "B-But why?" he pleaded the question with desperation. He sniffed his runny nose, "Why is he doing this Eizo?"

"Honesty… I don't know child," Eizo rubbed his forehead with some remorse. The same remorse he had since this whole thing started. Then, he viewed the boy's form and saw fear radiated off him. By that, he saddened his eyes, he hated to tell the boy the truth but the child wanted to know.

"H-How's he going... to do it?"

Eizo continued to stare at him with solemn eyes. He shook his head and viewed once again to the device strapped to him. No, he wasn't willing to frighten the kid more, "I don't think it's wise to tell you that."

"Oh please tell me." Mokuba pleaded tearfully, "I-I must know."

Eizo pulled his eyes away from him and tried his best not to lose his emotions. "Mokuba… I," he didn't want to answer him and couldn't bring himself to. He ran his shaky hands through his hair. He wanted the kid to stop asking him questions now. It was getting a bit too much for him.

"Is he going to shoot me?"

"I-I-"

"Is he going to smother me?"

Eizo inhaled another deep breath. "Here drink some of your coke," he picked up the drink and brought it back up to his lips. He just wanted to avoid the sensitive subject, "You should finish it," he softened his eyes.

However, Mokuba shook his head and pulled away a little. "No!" He became anger with him, "Why won't you tell me!" he yelled and wondered why the man wouldn't answer his question. "If he wants to kill me, I want to know how!" he demanded upset.

"Hello, my sweets!"

Eizo then turned around startled and viewed the door with a frown. He was so busy talking to the kid that he didn't hear Baiko come into the room. Mokuba recognized the voice instantly and backed away with a whimper, he yanked on his restraints while he did this. "Oh no!" he panicked. Baiko entered the room with a grin and strolled slowly toward Mokuba's bed.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Seto got out of the car very carefully with Yami's help and limped in front of a small building. He stood there while he reread the banner 'G. M's Sweet Music Store' with a sigh. "Well this could be it," he viewed the scribblings on the piece of paper then back up to the banner. It seemed to fit and ran it over again before he decided that it was, "Yes, this is it," he confirmed.

"Are you sure?" Yami viewed him with a raised brow.

Seto just nodded, "Yes, I'm sure."

"Great," Joey viewed up as well, "So, umm how are we going to get in?"

"Break in, what else?" Bakura simply replied and proceeded to back of the building with his same old smirk. However, he paused and viewed over his shoulder, the smirk never left his lips. "Wait here. This will only take a few minutes," he moved his mischievous eyes to his husband, "Marik."

"Coming love," Marik chuckled and followed him to the back of the store.

Yami watched them go then looked around nervously. He had left Yugi in the car. He didn't want him involved with this part. "Boy I hope they hurry."

"Don't worry," Seto leaned against him and felt his leg throb with pain. He then looked up at the sight of the door open with ease. Relaxing a little, he limped in with a sigh, "Thanks," he gave them a halfheartedly smile before he viewed around the room with seriousness.

"Anytime," Bakura smirked once again, he had forgotten how fun this was. Boy, those were the good old days. However, his strolled down memory lane was short-lived as he was interrupted by Seto.

"Okay guys split up and look for something out of place." Seto watched the four of them nod and start to look around the place. However, five minutes passed and nothing came up which caused Seto to frown with distress, "Damn, where could it be?"

"Maybe this isn't the place." Joey sighed and hoped it was. He glanced at his watch and frowned, it was two-thirty. Time was going by fast and they didn't have the time to cruise around this stupid city looking. Therefore, he looked up to Seto's distressful face and knew what he thought.

Seto was about to say something when he stopped in front of a grand piano. He wrinkled his brow and thought for a long moment then pulled out the note to study it again. "Hmmm…"

The Music is such Sweet Grand!

Don't fret Seto the answer is in your hand!

Grand... he wondered. Slowly, Seto waddled over to the grand piano and sat down with a cringe from his wound. He then viewed the keys as he ever so tenderly hit the G note, "Hmmm… that's weird. I don't hear anything." He looked up, "Brown eyes, check inside for me."

Joey nodded and walked over to where he was. He lifted the piano lid then peeked inside, "Well what do you know! Look!" he pulled out another envelope, "Babe, you've done it again. I knew you would!" he kissed him for moment. "Hey guys, we've found it!"

Marik, Bakura and Yami stopped on their search and rushed over to where they were. Seto sighed with some relief and reached out his hand, "Here let me have it." He watched Joey smile a bit and handed it over to him. He accepted it with a very shaky hand then opened the envelope, he viewed with puzzlement. He pulled out another small black and white picture while everyone stood behind him just as bewildered as he was.

"What the...?" Yami rubbed his forehead.

"It's a picture of a swing set in… looks like a playground." Marik was just at a complete loss. Whoever this guy was must be crazier than they were.

"Okay," Bakura huffed irritated, "Chess pieces and swing set. Now I'm confused here." He crossed his arms against his chest, "I mean this shit don't make any sense."

"It sure doesn't…" Seto breathed a heavy sigh and handed it back over to Joey. He checked the envelope yet again and pulled out another small riddle note.
