Chapter Nine
After Roland left, Solomon drove to the hospital to have a talk to Joey. He still didn't know what he was going to tell him but as he opened the door to the room that Joey was in, he could hear laughter. Serenity had told them something that was funny and Joey and Seto were laughing. When Seto looked up and saw Solomon he went over and gave him a hug and whispered "it's over."
Solomon closed his eyes and said a silent prayer for Roland and his brothers, because they had prevented those two monsters from ever hurting Joey or anyone ever again. Seto looked down into the eyes of the old man and he softly said "thank you for just being you."
Joey knew that something was wrong but he didn't ask them anything right then, but he was going to find out what they were talking about. Solomon walked over to Joey and he told him "your father and Uncle have left town fearing that you or someone would report them and they would be arrested for what they did to you." Joey looked deep into the eyes of someone that he had come to think of as a grandfather and he knew that he wasn't telling him the truth.
Joey thought to himself, I'll let it go for now but when Serenity is gone I will find out the truth. Serenity went over and gave Solomon a big hug. "I can't believe that their gone." Serenity said out loud. Joey motioned to Seto and he went over to where Joey was laying and Joey whispered "could you take Serenity and go get something to eat, I want to talk to Solomon alone?" As soon as they were out of the room Joey turned to Solomon and he said "alright what is the real truth, are they really dead and if they are who killed them?"
Solomon knew right then and there that he couldn't lie to Joey anymore and he decided to tell him a little of the truth, the only thing he didn't tell Joey was who did it. When Solomon was done, they both were crying really hard. Joey then said to Solomon "please don't let Serenity find out what the truth is. She may not be strong enough to handle it."
When Roland, Vincent and Conner got back, they went to the Manor to clean up. No matter how many times they showered they couldn't get the stench off their bodies. This wasn't the first time that they had to kill someone, except this time they did know the victim. They were in Roland's part of the Manor and as they sat there drinking beers and just pretending to watch television they appeared to be just normal brothers. There was a knock on the door and Roland went to see who it was, and there stood Mokie and he had been crying.
"What's wrong?" Roland asked as he picked him up and held him to his chest.
Mokie laid his head on Roland's shoulder and said "another bad dream, it was worse then the others."
Then Mokie noticed the men and he wiped his face so that they wouldn't think he was a baby. Connor being the youngest of the brothers then said "don't worry, I use to have nightmares and it was Roland who make them go away."
Roland introduced his brothers and he told them who Mokie was. And then Mokie said "nice to meet you." Mokie looked into Roland's eyes and asked "how's Joey?"
Roland smiled at Mokie whom he considered his little brother and told him "Seto told me that Joey is getting better and maybe in a few days they will release him and then he and Serenity will be coming here to stay till Joey can get back of his feet." The look of what did you say came over Mokuba's face and that caused Roland and his brothers to laugh out loud. Finally Mokie did smile and then he asked "are your brothers staying for dinner? Please have them stay because I'd like to hear what you were like when you were younger."
Vincent and Conner nearly choked when Mokuba said that because they had lots of stories about their brother and they were only more then willing to tell Mokuba them. Roland turned to his brothers and then they all laughed out loud and Roland told Mokie "yes they'll be staying for a couple of days."
Please R&R..
