Chapter 4: The Call

"Who is this?" Seto asked trying to stay calm.

"No need to worry about that…all you need to know is that I have your brother and that if you want to see him in one piece again, you will follow my every demand!" The cruel voice said on the other line.

"All right…and what demands are those?" Seto questioned a bit annoyed. Great…I'm being controlled by some…crazy fuck! Stupid Wheeler…now because of him…I'm in a weaken position. Damn it!

The voice almost laughed at the question. "I need you to come to the abandoned Jones Warehouse downtown with the deed to Kaiba Corporation. Come alone!" The voice paused, "I'll call you back in a few minutes to hear your…decision."

Seto heard a loud click. "Hello? Hello? Fuck!" He hung up and threw his cell phone back in his pocket.

"Well?" Joey questioned.

"It's a trade, Kaiba Corp. for Mokuba." Seto said frustrated.

"Really?" Joey questioned. Who would do such a thing? Kidnap a child for a company. Sure it's a successful business…but come on! Poor Seto…now he has to give up all that he's worked for to help out his only family…at least he'll have Mokuba in the end. It won't be the end of the world…

"Yes…really. Well…this is my brother they're talking about…" Seto said starting to pace up and down the room.

"What are ya gonna do?" Joey asked looking at the angry CEO.

"What do you think, Wheeler? It's my brother!" Seto said yelling.

"Well…then ya know what ya gotta do, den." Joey said calmly.

"Yes Wheeler…now that I know what they want, you can get out of my damn house!" Seto said angrily.

"I'm not going anywhere Seto!" Joey said standing tall.

"You're not?" Seto questioned with a grin on his face. Wait…did Wheeler just call me Seto? What makes him think that he can call me by my first name…like an equal? Wrong Wheeler…you're just a stupid mutt living on garbage. Get out of my house with your muddy, greedy paws!

"No! I promised to help you and I'm going to…for Mokuba's sake." And even yours Seto..

"You don't get it do you Wheeler. I don't need your help. I don't need anyone's help on this. Or ever." Seto answered. What is he trying to do? Be my best friend now? I'll never understand his species.

Seto heard his cell phone again. Here it is… "Hello?" He answered.

"Well? What's your decision?" The cruel voice asked.

"I'll be there whenever you see fit with the documents you're asking for." Seto said calmly.

"Good…very good choice. You're brother will be safely waiting for you at Jones Warehouse at 11 o'clock sharp. You MUST come alone…no police, no phone calls, nothing. I'll know about them all. Don't risk your brother's life." The voice laughed. He then hung up.

Seto hung up as well and threw the cell back in his pocket again. "Good-bye Wheeler." Seto said walking out of the room toward the front door.

"Seto!" Joey yelled running after him.

Seto turned around impatiently. "What don't you get, Wheeler? The get the fuck out or the I don't need your damn help?"

"Seto…I know ya hate my guts, but ya need someone der just incase. These things don't always turn out so well…" Joey explained.

"I have to do this alone Wheeler. My brother's life depends on it." Seto said looking at the floor.

"I know…but ya need someone hiding in da background incase they try something funny."

Honestly, I guess, the pup has a damn point. Damn it! Now…after all these years, Wheeler makes an interesting fact. Maybe being a built firefighter has turned him in the right direction. What? Did I just call him built? OMFG! "I guess… you have a point Wheeler. You never know what these people are capable of." Seto said looking up at Joey.

Joey's features began to soften. "Now you're seeing what I mean? It's not like they'll know I'm der. I'll be hidden. I just gotta make sure they don't try anything…stupid." I need to make sure Mokuba's safe…the both of you are safe from harm. I don't want to see you suffer anymore than you already have Seto…no more suffering.

"Okay…I guess." Seto answered slowly. He looked down at his watch. 10:24pm. "Well…it takes about 30 minutes to get to the downtown area from here. We'll have just enough time." Seto said looking at Joey. Wow…his eyes are really beautiful…WAIT, what? Never mind…nothing, nothing at all…

"All right…let's go!" Joey said walking toward the door.

"Wait…I'll go grab the paperwork…" Seto ran up stairs and got to his secret safe. There asshole…I'm giving you the stupid company. What kind of POS would do such a sneaky, cowardly thing? Fucker…

Seto grabbed what he needed and ran back downstairs. He had Joey follow him to his car. They took their seats and Seto quickly took off. I'm coming Mokuba…if they put one fucking hand on you…they'll all be dead! Seto looked over at Joey who was intently staring at the road ahead. He looks…kind of cute when he looks determined. I guess there's hope for him after all.

Joey looked in the corner of his eye. He noticed that Seto was glancing at him. Oh Seto…if you could only know…but…it's just a dream…nothing more…nothing more…

I know it's kinda short, but that's how I wanted it! PLZ Review! Much luv, sAkUrAsCoRpIoN
