The two raced to the security room and instantly began searching the taped.
'What date and year was it?' Joey shouted back to the racing brunet, his finger dragging along the tape.
'26th march 2007…' The brunet's voice echoed on the walls along with the shuffling sound of feet, Kaiba screamed loudly, before throwing a pile of tapes onto the floor, 'It's not here! It's fucking missing!'
'What?' Joey whipped around, 'how can it be missing?'
'That bastard must have known and took it…'
'So he has access to the security?' Kaiba paused before whirling around grabbing the microphone.
'All members of the mansion staff are to report to my office immediately. Anyone who does not do so will be fired and prosecuted.' He then swung open the door, storming to the room he had appointed. Joey ran behind him, unable to keep up with the angry strides.
'What are you gonna do?'
'I'm going to ask what they were doing that day.'
'Kaiba, that was 3 years ago, they won't know.' Kaiba paused in his own steps. 'I'll think of something when they arrive, either way, it's one of them.'
'Are you sure they didn't quit?'
'No one has quit in 5 years.'
'Did you fire anyone?'
'Possibly. I get mad and fire people all of the time.'
'What if you fired them?'
'I don't know, Joey shut up, I'm trying to think.' Joey stood and watched Kaiba walk on. 'Hurry up mutt, you're fucking staff too you know.'
'I am?' with that the blond quickened his pace, running into the room just behind the brunet.
As Kaiba entered, he slammed the door behind him, glaring at everyone. He strode over to his desk, sitting on his chair, the glare never fading.
'Right,' He looked over everyone eyes. 'Something from my property has been removed. Something I find very important.' He looked amongst the frightened faces, his eyes scanning each emotion, waiting for a falter. 'Do any of you know what it is that's missing?' he watched as they shook their heads, his eyes narrowing. 'It was a tape. Someone, one of you, or someone you know, has been into the security room and stolen a tape.' He paused, gasps filling the room. Who was stupid enough to steal from a Kaiba. 'This particular tape is of great importance. Now, not only are your jobs at stake, but also your future careers. I am a patient and honest man, and I will not lie. If you do not come forward, and I find out myself, your life will also be at stake. Are we understood?' everyone nodded, their nerves freezing as the man before them spoke. Joey had backed into the corner. He didn't care for Kaiba when he was angry, it frightened him, and now he knew what the brunet was capable of, he knew it was a match even he couldn't win.
Blue eyes watched as the staff filed out. His eyes watched every single movement. Whoever was doing this was going to pay, and soon. When they had gone he stood up to leave, but stopped when the phone wrung. He glanced down, checking the empty room before picking up.
'What?' He barked.
'Nice try, Kaiba, but you won't catch me so easily. If you want to play games, this will only get more fun. You see, I have someone dear to you…'
'Who?'
'Well, why don't we let this continue and you'll find out.' The phone clicked. Kaiba threw the receiver at the wall. This bastard was going to get caught and he was going to pay with his life, no matter what. Even if it was the final thing he did on this earth, he was going to catch and kill this man.
Blue eyes stared at the door, who the fuck did he have captive? He must have been in the room or aware of the meeting otherwise he couldn't have made that phone call. The only people he could reach were Joey…and Mokuba. Kaiba's eyes flew wide. Fuck. He had to find them, and fast.

Greetings!
I come to you from England as always, but do you know what's different? I have a drunken boyfriend on the floor telling me he's drunk over and over again. I also had a formal complaint launched against me! Woo! Fun times!
Anyway, enjoy! I have to post on 'On My Own' before bed if I can and he shuts up for long enough. The sofa seems appealing.
Anyway
Please R&R
Mwah!
