*20* Seto *20*

I decided that the first step to going back to Domino was to find a disguise so I searched the cars in long term parking and found a few things I could use. Breaking into cars wasn't exactly my forte but I watched Jounouchi do it and was a quick study. I took the clothes back to the trailer and laid them out on the bed. People would never suspect that I would ever wear anything but a fine tailored suit so the outfit was perfect.

I swallowed against my distaste and changed into baggy, ripped blue jeans, a t-shirt with a logo I didn't know, and I topped it all off with a baseball hat. So long as I didn't look anyone in the eye I would be okay.

"Computer, stand by." I said.

"Understood, Master." The computer said before shutting down. I headed out the door and "Borrowed" an inconspicuous car before driving back to Domino.

By the time I had made it into the city it was nearly dawn, my window to sneak into the hospital was closing. Thankfully, Domino General Hospital was fifteen minutes away and the streets were clear. I made my way to the hospital and parked the car, I let it idle as I looked up the room in which the surviving victim resided.

Second floor. Great. I tugged my hat down a bit more to cover my eyes and headed for the hospital. Just before I had reached the doors, however, I noticed a black van parked near the side of the Hospital. Two men, dressed in black, climbed down from the roof and hopped down to the waiting van.

Taking another look at the van, a familiar logo caught my eye, only I didn't quite remember where I had seen it before. Somewhere in my childhood maybe? I didn't have time to figure it out because the van revved to life and the two men got in and it sped off.

The odds that someone was sneaking into the hospital on the same night I was were too low to be a coincidence. With the close of the investigation I wouldn't be surprised if someone was going around tiding up loose ends.

"Damn it." I hoped I wasn't too late. Taking the path the two men used to exit I found my way to the room I was searching for, I heard a voice on the other side.

"I swear, I don't know anything." From the pain in the voice I could tell that he was the victim. "Kid just went nuts and started shooting."

"I wish I could take your word for it but I can't. I don't know if that little punk made a deal with you in order to spare your life. It's odd that you were the only one to survive."

"What? What kind of deal would leave me like this? I won't be able to walk again. Why would I choose that?"

"I don't know, Yoshi had to make it look like he was trying to kill you or we'd catch on, maybe he was thinking about that."

I didn't know how much more of this I wanted to hear, though my thinking was the same, I could see that the victim had no clue what was going on. Luckily my shot at getting answers was on the other side of the door after all.

"There are so many creative ways to end a life but you should feel lucky, a little air in the I.V. and you will be finished."

Okay. I had to get in there before whoever was behind this took anymore lives. I opened the door and startled both occupants. "I suggest you stay away from the kid's I.V." I said.

"Who the fuck are you?" the assassin asked.

"I'll be the one asking the questions. Who sent you?" I asked.

"That's a secret. Now, I have no beef with you so if you'll kindly let me do my job then I'll be on my way."

"You gotta help me man, I don't wanna die." Said the victim.

"Shut up." I said, he was a life, sure, but he was also a bully.

"Why are you protecting someone, you obviously don't know?" the assassin asked.

"That's none of your concern." I said.

The assassin clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth and reached into his back pocket to produce a blade. Shit, I hadn't come prepared for a battle. I backed around to the bed and stood between the assassin and the victim in case he tried to end it quickly.

"You have nothing to defend yourself with." The assassin said, "You are making this too easy. I have never failed to make the kill."

"Until now, that is." I said and he rushed at me, holding the blade in both hands, at the last moment I moved to the side, pulling the chart from the pocket in front of the victim's bed. The knife bounced off, sending the assassin flailing back. He caught himself and I could hear his teeth clench in anger.

He straightened himself and ran at me again, this time I caught one of the assassin's wrists and twisted him around before punching him in the arm to break it. He cried out in pain but kept hold of the knife with his other hand. He wheeled around and swiped at me, cutting me in the forearm. I let him go with a shove, he crashed into the empty food cart causing it hit the wall loudly.

The assassin tossed the knife aside and drew a gun from his belt, "I am done messing around with you."

"You should have used that in the first place." I said.

"I couldn't have the nurse coming in here, but now that I can't get out clean, I'll have to get out dirty." He said, "Before I end you, tell me who you are."

"And when that time comes I'll let you know, this is not the time." I said as I inched my way toward the discarded knife.

"Stop moving!" he said before taking a step closer and holding the gun up a little higher. I was staring down the barrel of it and began to wonder if this was the last thing Jounouchi saw. I clenched my fists at my sides, this all started then but I wouldn't let it continued.

I took off the baseball hat and tossed it toward the assassin and dove for the knife. I grabbed the knife and chucked it toward the assassin, it imbedded itself in his leg and he went down in a heap. I stood up and walked over to grab my hat, placing it back on my head, before glaring down at the assassin.

"Now, you'll answer me, who hired you?" my ear perked up at the sound of an alarm sounding and looked over at the victim. I could tell had called security "tell me, now!" I gave the knife in the assassin's leg a small twist and he cried out in pain.

"Siegfried Von Schroider"

"What?" That's when it hit me, the van and the logo, it was Kaiba Corp.'s first logo. How could I have forgotten that? I didn't have time to dwell on it because security was headed toward us.

"Enjoy your time in prison." I said to the assassin, there was no way he was getting out and the victim was surely going to press charges against the man who tried to kill him.

I slipped out the door and quickly headed for the stairwell and made my way out of the hospital and back to the car before the police showed up. I kept my head down and drove to safety.

After a few hours my drive brought me to my destination, the last known destination of the old Kaiba Corp. the birthplace of my Step-father's and Siegfried's father's company. It was confirmed that I was in the right place because the van I had seen at the hospital was parked out front.

The building was nothing special and it seemed to blend in with the rest of the businesses in the area. Whatever Siegfried was up to, he wanted to stay under the radar. I walked around the building until I found a back window. I looked inside and saw a huge computer room with a tube inside. And in the tube was a familiar Blonde. Jounouchi. I had found him.
