Chapter 2: El Diablos
A black van pulled up in the parking lot of El Diablos. Inside were four spies.
"You all know how it goes tonight right?"
"Of course. We wouldn't do it if we didn't!" And three climbed out of the van and entered the bar through the delivery entrance. One walked up to the bar, one to the balcony and one towards a table where Mr. Pete Thatcher was sitting.
"Ahh. You're here."
"Pleased to meet you Mr. Thatcher"

A black van pulled up in the parking lot of El Diablos. Inside were four spies.
"You all know how it goes tonight right?"
"Of course. We wouldn't do it if we didn't!" And three climbed out of the van and entered the bar through the delivery entrance. Two walked up to the bar and one towards a table where Mr. Pete Thatcher was sitting.
"You ready for this Bakura?"
"I'm always ready Seto." Bakura nodded towards the table Yami was walking towards. Thatcher was greeting someone else. "What do you think? The contact?"
"Probably," Seto pulled out his cell, "Marik, start the download, we're in." And Bakura wandered off to the balcony. "Marik, I'm sending over a picture," Seto took a picture of the person in black sitting at Thatcher's table. "Find out who it is."
"Mr. Thatcher? I'm Kelvin Jackson. It's a pleasure to meet you."
/--/--/
"Hey. I'm sending up a picture of some guy who's started talking to Thatcher. Check him."
"Roger that. Hold on a sec................... Oh SHITE! It's Yami Motou from the CIA!"
"He doesn't know we're the thieves, let the night roll on and get Sasha to take him out before he leaves."
"Got that Ivory, I'll phone Ebs and tell her."
/--/--/
Yami got up from the table at 1:30 am after closing the 'deal' with Thatcher.
"The deal is done 'Kura, Let's go." Seto, Yami and Bakura all made for the door of the now empty bar.
"Not so fast!" The person who had been sitting with Thatcher was holding Yami by the back of the shirt. "You want you're mate back, you will hand over the blueprint of the Museum which is in the briefcase, and we might not hurt him."
"No way! You are not getting this blueprint!"
"Fine then, have it your way!" And the mysterious person pulled the gun from Bakura's belt, jabbed it into Yami's back and pulled the trigger. Yami let out a scream before collapsing to the floor. The person grabbed Seto's case and ran.
"Yami!" Seto ran over to him and pulled him up, luckily he was still conscious.
"That hurt. I guess we missed our opportune moment. Did they get the blueprint?" Yami wheezed out.
"Yeah. Yami I'm so sorry! You got hurt and they got it anyway!"
"Don't worry. I just need a couple of seconds. And a straight vodka." A weird light surrounded Yami and when it cleared he was on his feet with a vodka shot in his hand. He knocked it back and they left and arrived back at the house without a word to each other. Yuugi had heard what had happened and when they arrived he threw his arms around Yami, which made the older boy cringe.
"You're okay! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad!"
"Who's been feeding my lil' bro sugar?" Jou prised Yuugi off of Yami and glomped the poor boy.
"I'm glad tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Yami fought Jou off and slowly backed away from the slightly crazed group. He walked straight into Seto.
"Don't worry, they're just happy to see you. Marik phoned and told them what happened." Seto explained. Yami nodded and wandered outside, looking rather depressed. He pulled himself up into a tree and watched Jou and Seto some out into the garden looking for him.
'sigh I'm losing my touch. I let the whole team down, getting caught like that. Now they think I'm out of the way, that could work to our advantage. But not only did I let the team down I let Yuugi down, he's meant to get an example from me, and more importantly I let Seto down. I wonder what they all think of 'the greatest' now. I always said I was only good enough to do my job but they wouldn't believe me...'
"And now I'm not even good enough for my job!" Yami yelled aloud.
"Yami?" Jou questioned, looking around. Seto looked up and saw him in the tree.
"Jou! Quick, he just ran into the house!" And Jou ran into the house. Seto climbed up the tree and pulled Yami into his lap. "Don't let that get you down Yami. You are still the greatest. It's not you're fault that Mr. P's taking you off the job."
"He's what?!" Yami shouted, "No way am I dropping this job now! They think I'm dead! That's going to make it easier for me to move about. The only person that can replace me is Yuugi and this job is too dangerous for him!"
"Yami, it is the boss' order's. You don't get a choice. I'm sorry."
"I knew it! I was never the greatest otherwise they wouldn't take me off the job for one slip up! It's not my fault they knew who I was!" And Yami jumped out of the tree and over the garden wall in one swift movement. Just then Bakura came out of the kitchen door.
"What was all the shouting about?"
"I told him the boss was taking him off this job and he ran," Seto gestured over the wall, "he's gone."
"Shite! We need him back. They will find and use him against us."
"Bakura, Yami can't be found if he doesn't want to be. And they wouldn't have any use in catching him because it would just let him into their base."
"Hey guys!" Marik yelled from a window on the third floor. "Yami is transmitting his position! It's almost as if..."
"He wants to be found." They all finished.
"Of course! Yami knows if they find him, he'll get into the base and be able to get the museum blueprint. He's gonna need backup." Bakura finished with a smirk, loading his gun.
"So we go in, pick up the documents planning the job, pick up Yami along with the blueprint and get the hell out of there with enough evidence to send them all down three times over!"
"That's it! That's the master plan! Let's go Seto!" And Seto and Bakura ran into the house to brief the others.

Yami ran down an alley, hoping someone picked up his position soon, because he was freezing. He heard a car go past and decided that the rooftops were better than dark - and rather creepy – alleyways. He climbed up a fire exit to the roof. It was a beautiful, clear night so he stopped to look at the stars. A shooting star went past and he made a wish. ' I wish I could, for once, get things right and impress Seto.' He stood up and jumped from roof to roof for a few hours. When he finally got tired, he realised he was standing on top of the Kaiba mansion. He looked down and saw Mokuba and Seto sitting the garden.
"Seto I'm so sorry. But I can't keep letting you down. Even Pegasus wants me out now. Take care and look after Yuugi for me. Take care Mokuba, if you find my duelling deck you can keep it. I don't need it where I'm going. I just hope this works for all of you. Goodbye."
/--/--/
"Ni-sama, did you hear something?" Mokuba asked, looking up at the roof - moments too late - but Yami was gone.
"No Mokuba. Why don't you go and get Yami's deck and you can see if you can beat me?" Mokuba ran into the house and Seto looked up at the stars. The same shooting star went past, and Seto, against his better judgement, made a wish. 'I wish Yami would come home and stay with me, like I promised for him.'
/--/--/
From his room Bakura saw the shooting star go past and made a wish too. 'I wish for Yami to be s.... Nah. Seto not to free...Nope. I know! I wish for Marik to bring me a bacon sandwich.'
/--/--/
Yami stood, looking down at New York. He wanted to go home so badly. But he had to prove his worth. He jumped across roofs again until he was standing on top of Pete Thatcher's builidng. 'Here we go' he thought. He climbed down and snuck in through the back entrance. Almost immediately, guards had him on the floor, and the person who had shot him before was standing in front of him.
"Hello again, Mr Motou." The person removed their mask and revealed a young girl that Yami couldn't help but recognise, "Or should I call you Yami?"
