Seto drove around town trying to find Joey, he checked everywhere that he thought Joey might be, but still couldn't find him.

Joey where are you? I've paged him so many times and he still won't answer back. I feel just fucking horrible.

Seto looked at his watch, it was getting close to three o'clock. He looked around, since he was stopped at a stoplight. He saw a lot of blonds but none of them were the one he was looking for. The light turned green and he drove through it and pulled into a parking lot. He parked, turned off his car, and rested his head on the steering wheel.

"Can't find the little blond I'm assuming," said a voice.

Seto nearly died from a heart attack. His head whipped to the side to stare wide-eyed at Bakura who had some how gotten in the car.

"How in the hell did you get in my car!" growled Seto.

"That's what Shadow Magic is for Kaiba," said Bakura.

"What do you want?"

"I think the question is, what do you want to know about Joey?"

"Where is he you bastard!"

"He has an appointment with pain at three," said Bakura laughing, before he disappeared as quickly as he had appeared.

"What!" Seto sat there thinking. What the hell was that supposed to mean? Pain? Oh Fuck! Joey's with Trent McGarthy!

Seto started the car and sped out of the parking lot, he had to help Joey. No matter what the cost.

"Hey M, there goes Kaiba," said O.

"Follow him, he's more than likely going to go help his lover," said M.

O started the jeep and drove off after Kaiba.

A dart whisked by Joey's ear as he stepped into Trent's office and he froze in place. Holy shit that was close!

"So you did decide to show up, I'm impressed," said Trent as he got out of his chair.

"I didn't really have a choice," snarled Joey.

"You did, but you refused to let someone get hurt because of you," said Trent.

"That's because you're not playing fair. Had you not involved anyone else I would have totally forgotten about this whole ordeal," said Joey.

"Well, since you're being difficult, I think some punishment might be in order but I think we should talk like men first," said Trent.

"About?"

"About you replacing your uncle," said Trent.

"Fuck you, I'll never work for you, you sick son of a bitch," growled Joey.

"Well, then..." Trent didn't finish as a dart flew from his hand and collided with Joey's upper arm.

Joey cried out as the dart lodged into his muscles and a bright red spot began to appear on his sleeve.

"Bastard," hissed Joey.

"I'll be more than happy to send another one your direction," said Trent.

"Go fuck yourself," snarled Joey.

Trent launched another dart at Joey, this time the dart hit Joey's side. Joey cringed in pain, he knew he had to do something fast.

"Okay, stop it," said Joey, "Make me an offer."

"That's more like it," said Trent as he sat back down at his desk.

Joey didn't move, he was afraid to. I hope to hell that bastard didn't hit anything vital, thought Joey as he pulled the darts from his body.

"I'll pay you whatever you ask for, but only if you complete the tasks I assign you, that's the same offer I gave to your old gang, which from now on you will work for as the leader of the D-MONS," said Trent.

"Marcus won't go for that," said Joey.

"Then I guess he'll be dealt with," said Trent.

"Don't touch them, any of them," said Joey, "I haven't accepted yet."

"But you will," said Trent, "Unless of course, you want your friends found in a ditch together years from now."

"What's with all the fucking threatening!" spat Joey.

"To make sure you'll work for me," said Trent.

"So tell me what's the first job?"

"Dispose of Seto Kaiba," said Trent.

"NO! Absolutely not! I won't touch him," said Joey.

"Either that, or I'll have your gang do it," growled Trent becoming annoyed.

Joey was trapped and he knew it. If he didn't agree to work his friends would be hurt, but if he didn't get rid of Seto, then his old gang would. What am I supposed to do?

"I need an answer."

"I'll do it," said Joey regretfully.

"That's a good boy," said Trent, "And remember my men will be watching you."

Joey turned and left the office. The last time he had to dispose of somebody was when he was fourteen, which was three years ago, and he still felt horrible about it. What have I gotten myself into.

Trent pressed a button on his phone and said, "D-MONS, Joey's decided to take care of Kaiba, make sure the CEO makes it to my building."

Trent sat back in his chair, smirking.

Seto pulled into Garth Industries just as Joey walked out the front door. He jumped out of his car and ran over to Joey.

"Joey," said Seto, "I'm sorry about last night. Can we talk please."

Joey looked at Seto. First he hates me and now he wants to talk? What the hell?

"I guess," said Joey, following Seto back to the car.

"Joey," said Seto, "when I disappeared it was because Bakura captured me. He showed me pictures of you and Mai kissing and doing other things. The dates on the pictures were from the past three weeks. I thought you were cheating on me. So many things happened and now that I've found you, I wanted to apologize." Seto started the car and pulled out onto the roadway.

"Seto," said Joey, "Can I ask you something?"

"Yes," said Seto.

"Do you trust me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Go back to the bridge, to the spot where we fell off that day in your old jeep," said Joey.

Seto looked at Joey, eyebrow raised but said nothing.

Seto pulled onto the bridge and looked at Joey out of the corner of his eye.

"Again Seto, do you trust me?" asked Joey.

"Yes," said Seto.

"Do you trust me with your life?" asked Joey.

"Joey what's with the questions?"

"Answer me Seto," said Joey.

"Yes, I trust you. I trust you with my life, my everything," said Seto.

"Then trust me now," said Joey as he grabbed the steering wheel and forced them off the bridge.

They hit the water below and went under.

"JOEY!" yelled Seto.

"Listen to me," said Joey, "I'm going to break the window so you can get out and swim to the top. When you get above the water, break this."

Joey put the disc Majeh had given him into Seto's hand.

"But Joey, what about you," said Seto.

"If you do what I just told you to do I'll be fine. I'll explain it all later," said Joey, "No get ready to swim."

Joey slammed his feet into the front window, watching as it cracked. He slammed his feet into the window again, the window shattered and water began to flood the car. Seto struggled against the flow of the water but managed to get out of the car. He kicked his way to the surface, thanking Joey mentally for teaching him to swim just a few weeks back.

He broke the surface and gasped for air. He took the disc from his hand and broke it in half. Hang on Joey, please...
