Kaiba had lost it. How could he have ever loved the Mutt? No…no. He wasn't the mutt. He was some drugged up, weakling imposter. He gave the drugs to the first member of staff he came upon.

'Dispose of these.' He looked the woman up and down.

'Yes, sir.'

'Make sure it's destroyed, and cannot be retrieved.'

'Yes, sir.' Kaiba watched as she took the bag and left. Like hell the mutt was carrying this crap on. He knew Mokuba was 18, but he still despised the thought of Joey doing this near his brother. He despised even more that it was Joey on them. He turned around to see brown eyes staring at him.

'This wasn't your decision.'

'You aren't capable of making it.'

'It's my life.'

'If you want to be part of mine, this ends now.'

'Then the blackmail ends.'

'That's different.'

'How?'

'I don't even know who's doing it?'

'What do they have over you?' Kaiba looked away.

'It's not important.'

'It is. Why don't you ship all of your family here and then they're safe.'

'Don't you think I tried? He's watching for that, he'll kill them all.'

'Ok…Go out to them.'

'Same problem.'

'He must be close, or he couldn't track you.'

'Joey, I know all of this. I've tried everything I can think of to stop him and I can't.'

'A bluff?'

'A what?'

'Tell him you're going to tell the media what you did. If you do that, it might scare him off.'

'He'll expect me to do it.'

'You're Seto Kaiba, you'll get out of it.'

'I may be awesome, but the death penalty is not something I can escape, not with any amount of money.' Joey froze.

'Death…penalty?' the words came out slowly.

'Yes.'

'…Kaiba…what did you do?' fear streaked the brown eyes…he was afraid. He knew the brunet was capable of many things, but few incurred that sort of punishment. Kaiba looked at Joey, studying the others face. Telling him this was not something he had ever wanted to do, he never wanted anyone to know. Not even Mokuba. He rubbed his temples. No one would believe the drug fucked blond if he blabbed, and Kaiba would rather tell Joey what happened, if it would stop the fear in the brown eyes.

'Kaiba?' Joey pressed, he was growing impatient.

'I killed someone.' Kaiba watched Joey's bulging eyes…Kaiba what! 'Actually, I killed several people.' Joey's heart stopped, it had to be a joke. He laughed nervously.

'Very funny. What did you really do?' the pale face remained unmoving.

'I killed people.' He repeated. 'I pushed Gozuburo from the window to take over the company. I killed the big 5 when they tried to gain it back. There are others, but to my knowledge, my blackmailer doesn't know.' Kaiba watched Joey, watch his face register the news and contort in horror.

'You mean…' Joey winced, 'You're a murderer?'
