The next day, Yugi and friends were just on their way out of the school building. Yugi looked back inside.

"Huh. Where's Kaiba? It's never been like him to miss class."

"If you ask me…" Joey grinned.

"We didn't." Tristan interrupted.

"Jeez Tristan, I was just tryin' to point something out!" Joey snapped, but then cleared his throat.

"Anyways, if you ask me, moneybags just chickened out after I whailed on him last time! Hehe, what a scaredy-cat."

"I agree with Yugi." Tea nodded, "Something about this doesn't seem right."

"I know." Yugi looked down, but then smiled somewhat. "Hey, I need some help around the shop. You guys think you could help out for a while?"

"Sure Yuge!" Tristan rubbed his head. "It's not like I have anything else to do!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

No sooner had Yugi finished with the display than the phone rang. Yugi promptly picked up.

"Solomon's Game Shop, how can I help you?" He recited.

"Yugi!" cried the excited young boy.

"What is it Mokuba?" Yugi asked, looking to Joey and Tristan, who both shook their heads.

"Yugi, something's gone wrong. Can you come over? It's about my brother."

"Come over?" Yugi eyed Joey, who mouthed 'no' toward him.

"Umm, hold on a sec." He set the receiver down on the counter, then looked to Joey. "What is it?"

"Are you crazy man?" Tristan practically shrieked, "I'll bet this is another one of Kaiba's plans to force you into another rematch. He probably decided to skip class so he could set up!"

"I don't know Tristan." Yugi sighed, "Mokuba sounded worried for something. We should at least go check it out."

"OK Yuge." Joey threw his hands up. "If dat's what you think is best, don't let us stop you."

"OK." Yugi picked up the receiver again. "Mokuba? We'll be right over."

"Thanks Yugi. I knew I could count on you. Please hurry, it's important." With that, Mokuba hung up, as did Yugi.

Joey, Tristan, and Tea got up, and before long, they were out.

"Aww great. I got a bad feeling about dis guys." Joey whined.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yugi! You made it! Come on in."

Mokuba was quick to let Yugi and company into the mansion.

"What is it, Mokuba?" Yugi was quick to ask.

"Yugi," Mokuba began, "Was my brother at school today?"

"No. Why?" Yugi shrugged.

"He never came home last night." Mokuba's eyes were dripping with tears as he said this. "I'm worried for him."

"Oh puh-leeze!" Joey huffed, "The guy does whatever he wants these days. My guess is he's out having a drink and laughing his head off!"

"My brother's not that stupid. He would've told someone if he was going anywhere." Mokuba shook his head, "Security saw him leave around 10:45 last night, but nobody's seen him since then."

"Do they know where he was going?" Tea chimed in, "Maybe we could start the search there."

"All anyone knows is that this girl called him some time before he left. She told the secretary it was important." Mokuba shrugged, "Besides that, I don't know who could've done this."

"Hmmm," Tristan slithered toward Joey, "A girl, huh? Now why does that sound so familiar…?" He teased.

"Tristan you jerk!" Joey seethed, "Tatiana had nothin' to do with this!"

"I dunno, man." He shrugged, "I'm just sayin'. Kaiba did ruin your date together two days back, and as far as I remember, you were with her only until 9 last night. So who's to say she didn't do it?"

"She wouldn't." Joey shook his head, "It's just too crazy to even think about!"

"Settle down, Joey." Yugi soothed, "Innocent until proven guilty, after all." He turned back to Mokuba. "We'll help any way we can."

"Thanks Yugi." Mokuba smiled somewhat.
