Mokuba ran down the stairs and straight into Joey. He was talking so fast that Joey couldn't understand a word. He kneeled down and pulled the boy close calming him down so that maybe he could get something coherent out of the rambling boy.

"Mokuba I need you to talk slower. What's wrong?" asked Joey.

"It's...it's Seto..." sobbed Mokuba, "He's gone. Help him Joey please."

Joey released Mokuba and shot up the stairs. He raced down the hallway and burst into Kaiba's room. The brunette was gone. The room was a disaster. Joey looked all over, Seto wasn't there. Great. Just fucking great. What the fuck happened to him? Cuz this fucking sucks!

Bakura spun around in his chair. Ryou hadn't let him pay Kaiba a visit and that bugged him. He wanted to see the brunette and his light side refused to let him. Said something like 'you'll only stir up some kind of problem, I'm not stupid', or close to that. He stopped his chair so he could look out the window. Maybe he could sneak over there and see Kaiba. No, Ryou would know, his light side always found out one way or the other. He sighed and returned to work, he had an idea of how to talk to Kaiba.

"Where is the boy?"

"Sir...he...well he never left the house."

"Meaning?"

"Apparently there was a problem with Kaiba, he's missing. Wheeler stayed home to watch the younger Kaiba."

"This is a delay in the plan and not a good one."

"The D-MONS said they can still apprehend Wheeler tomorrow. He can't miss anymore school and he knows it. He'll go to school tomorrow whether he wants to or not."

"Fine. But I expect the boy here by tomorrow is that understood."

"Yes sir."

Yami and Yugi sat in Yugi's room. Both were curious as to where Joey and Seto had been today. It didn't make sense for them both not to show up to school.

"Yami you don't think something's happened do you?"

"I don't know. If they don't come to school tomorrow I'll go over and check on them," said Yami.

"Are you okay? You've seemed troubled lately."

"I'm fine, it's just been a dream. I'm sure it's nothing and if it is I'll figure out what it means."

"Okay, if you say so."

Seto looked up at the ceiling of a padded room. He had no idea where he was. He remembered someone rushing into his room. But that was all, everything else was blurry. MOKUBA! Oh God! I hope he's okay! He'd better be with Joey, cuz if he's not I'll hurt whoever has him.

Joey got up early Tuesday morning. He had a lot to do. He had to get breakfast. Take Mokuba to school. Go to school. Pick up Mokuba and take him home. Then rush to the arcade for his work shift. Then he had to rush home and prepare dinner. He knew he could do it if he put his mind to it. It was no different than when he took care of Serenity when he was little. He'd make it, somehow.

"Hey Joey how's it going?" asked Yugi when Joey sat down at their lunch table.

"Horrid," said Joey resting his head on the table, arms folded in front of his head.

"Meaning?" asked Yami.

"Seto's gone and Mokuba's spazing out. I've talked to Seto's personal police guard, but they haven't a clue as to why Seto's disappeared," said Joey lifting up his head.

"That's not good Joey," said Yami.

"I think it has something to do with Seto's dreams," said Joey.

"Dreams?" said Yami.

"I'm not sure, but I know these dreams he's been having aren't good. He keeps crying out in his sleep like someone's been hurting him. He wouldn't talk to me about it though when I asked him," said Joey.

Yami sat silently, could his dream be related to Kaiba's. He'd have to find out tonight. He snapped back to attention when Yugi yelled in his ear.

"Yami are you okay?" asked Yugi.

"Yes, I was just thinking," said Yami.

"So where's little Kaiba boy?" asked Bakura walking up to the gang's table.

"Gone," said Joey, raising an eyebrow at Bakura, it wasn't like Ryou's dark side to talk to them.

"Really?" said Bakura shocked, "That could be why I haven't seen him in awhile. When did he disappear?"

"Sunday afternoon," said Joey.

"I guess I'll just have to find him myself," said Bakura and with that he left.

"That was odd," said Tristen.

"No kidding," said Joey.

"Well we better head to class," said Yugi as he got up and threw his trash in the garbage.

Joey, Tristen, Yugi and Yami all headed for fourth period.

"Hey O? When are we supposed to nab him?" asked N.

"After he picks up the twerp and drops him off at home. Boss don't want the little one," said O.

"N, are you always an idiot or is it just today?" asked D.

"Fuck you," said N.

"Would you guys knock it off, blondie's leaving school," said S.

"Okay ya stupid fuckers get to your places," said M, "We have about thirty minutes to get ready to nab him."

"I still can't believe we're catching our past boss. J won't be pleased to find out that we're capturing him for the person he's trying to aviod," said D.

"He left us. He's no longer one of the D-MONS," said M.

"How about we not talk about it," said S.

"Agreed," they all said.

Joey left Mokuba at home, with every emergency number possible. He turned on his pager incase Mokuba needed him, then he took off to work. He had about ten minutes to get there. He'd have to run fast to get there on time.

"Ready?" asked M.

"Yeah."

"Nab him, S," said D.

S shot a hand out of the alley and grabbed Wheeler's upper arm before pulling him into the alley.

Joey jumped slightly as someone grabbed his arm and pulled him into the alleyway. He was afraid of something like this happening. He threw a punch at whoever had a hold of him.

S dodged Joey's punch as N came up behind Wheeler and wrapped an arm around the blond's throat, cutting off his air supply.

Joey wasn't expecting an attack from behind. He tried to spin away, but with the person's arm around his neck and the other person's firm grip on his arm kept him from going anywhere. This isn't happening! First Seto disappears, then this!

O jumped in and grabbed Joey's other arm. N loosened his hold on Joey's neck, allowing the blond to breathe. D and M walked up to Joey and tied the blond's hands behind his back. O and S stepped away as D and M took care of Joey's wrists, so they could tie Joey's ankles.

Joey lashed out and kicked one of the captors in the face sending him sprawling backwards. I will not let this happen! I have to stay with Mokuba! He needs someone to protect him until we find Seto!

S picked himself up off the ground, Wheeler had a lot of strength in the lithe body of his still. S and O finally restrained Joey enough to get the blond's ankles tied.

Joey growled as the guy who had a hold of his neck started dragging him farther into the alleyway towards an old beat up jeep. A familar old beat up jeep. Is that the J Jeep? But then that means...these guys are the D-MONS...but if that's true they must know who I am...right? Unless they're working for...oh god no!

A piece of duct tape appeared over Joey's mouth before he was thrown in to the back of the jeep. His captors climbed in and took off out of the alleyway. Joey felt something dig into his hip. The pager! If I can just move my hands the right way I can page Mokuba. Almost there...GOT IT!

Mokuba jumped as his pager went off on his side. He looked down at it. The numbers 42985 ran across the screen frantically. That meant Joey was in trouble. Oh NO! Not Joey too!

"Hey, blondie's got a pager, take it from him," said M.

N who was in the back with Joey, yanked the pager away from the blond and threw it out the window. So much for Joey calling for help he thought.

Seto felt something vibrate beneath him. He moved off the bed he was on to find his pager. He picked it up. 42985? What? Those numbers mean trouble. That means... JOEY! Seto cursed and hit the wall with his fist. He had to think of some way to get out of here fast.
