MP: Aftermath

Chapter 27.

Kaiba released her collar, and turned away, walking a few steps, as he spat out, "Smart move. Now, talk!"

"It aint what you think it is, at all. I didn't know about no virus. To be honest, well....I didn't get this job entirely on my own. I....don't wanna get anyone in trouble here...." She stammered out.

"You should be worrying about yourself, right now. Trying to sabotage this company is a serious offense, whether you had help or not." Kaiba stated.

"I AINT TRYING TO SABOTAGE NO COMPANY, YOU IDIOT!!" She spat out. "I was trying to go on a date with you! This was the only way we could figure out to do it, cuz you wouldn't listen to reason any other way, you stupid thick-headed moron!!!"

Kaiba sighed, "Spare me. This is the best excuse you can come up with? Fine, that was your last chance. Thompson, deal with this loser...."

"Yes, sir." The man said.

"I aint lying! If you don't believe me, then ask Mokuba! He's the one that put me in the system, okay??" Jasmine spat out, as they began to drag her away. But the words she spat out caused them to hesitate They looked to Kaiba, to make sure if they were to continue to take her away or not.

Kaiba did not seem phased by this. Infact, he gave a slight chuckle, saying, "My brother tampering with the system to let a spy into Kaiba Corp? You're excuses are becoming more pathetic each time. Well guess what, I don't believe you....take her."

They continued to drag her away, as she blurted again, "Don't you get it? I'M the experiment! That's why I was going in there! I got the patch to prove it!!"

"STOP!" Kaiba snapped, causing them to stop. Kaiba whirled around, and approached Jasmine, his face now a mask hiding anything that may be going through his mind at the moment, as his eyes studied hers. "You said you had proof. Where is it?"

"It's on my left side, under my arm...." She said, sadly.

He lifted her shirt, without care for her own modesty at the moment, and found the patch, that looked more like a cigarette patch on the outside. He grabbed and ripped it off, causing her to yelp. Then looking at it from the inside, it clearly indicated the mechanical device that was constantly checking Jasmine's internal systems.

'She's the experiment....' Kaiba now realized, in horror. 'And if she's telling the truth, and Mokuba did all this, then....this woman is actually a guy, and Mokuba intentionally lied to me, putting him there on purpose!'

"Out." Kaiba said.

"Sir?" The guards asked.

"I said everybody out, now!!" Kaiba yelled.

They immediately dropped their prisoner, and left Kaiba's home, at once. Kaiba just stood there, his mind seemed to be in another world, somewhere.

"Uh....Kaiba, I'm...." Jasmine began to say, trying to gently place a hand on his shoulder.

Kaiba immediately moved with lightening speed, grabbing her collar with both hands, and shoving her against the wall.

"WHO ARE YOU!!!" He demanded, his eyes now furious with what he was finding out.

"It....it's me, Joey...." She said.

His anger changing to shock, as things finally began to make more sense to him. It made sense how he became so quickly attracted to her, why Mokuba worked as hard as he did to hide he was the hacker, what Mokuba's real reasons were for taking over his project.

He should have seen it, but he didn't....his own blind trust for his brother prevented him from seeing such an obvious ploy from the very beginning. He let her go, and began to walk away out of the living room.

"Hey, Kaiba....listen, don't be mad...." She said.

"Get out." He said calmly, never ceasing his pace. Before long, Kaiba was completely out of sight.
