The clio pulled up before massive gates. It wasn't Kaiba mansion, so where was it? Joey looked over at Seto, who was frowning.
'Get out of the car.' He gestured to the blond, who did so. Kaiba left the blond where he was, zooming off in the car. 10 minuets later the brunet returned, walking towards Joey. Seto pressed at the intercom, and Joey noticed a camera zooming in and out before the gates buzzed open. 'Come on.' Joey followed Seto up the long drive way, wondering where they were and who the hell recognised them. As they reached the main door, it was opened by a bowing butler.
'He awaits you in the garden.' Seto nodded, walking through the mansion to a back door, and out into the yard. Joey was amazed at the beauty. The rosebushes, the stretching grass and long pool. He glanced to a white Victorian table, before seeing a figure come towards him,
'Kaiba boy!' Joey twitched. No. No it couldn't be, please be anyone but,
'Pegasus.' Seto said, looking at the man heading towards them.
'What brings you here, I see you have the disguises?'
'We do. We have a serious problem.' Kaiba watched as Pegasus swirled his wine in the glass, taking a sip.
'Take a seat and do tell.' The men sat down. Joey shifted uncomfortably. He didn't know what it was, but something about the older man made him itch. It could be the countless kidnappings or his feminine voice. Either way, he really wasn't enjoying this.
'So, I'm been blackmailed.' Kaiba began, watching the older man's reactions.
'Well that's nothing new, what's so special this time?'
'They have Mokuba.'
'Again, nothing new.'
'They've made it passed all of my security systems and they're a member of my staff. They've been threatening to kill my family and…'
'They got past your security? Now that is interesting.'
'Yes, I know. Even things that only I know. They got through.'
'No one has managed that since Zigfried. They must be smart.'
'Zigfried?' Kaiba's mind raced. Oh yes. He hated that man. He was overly feminine and cocky. And he destroyed some good systems. 'You don't think it's him, do you?'
'No, it's not. He has no motive, Kaiba boy.'
'Motive?' Joey chipped in. A motive had never occurred to him.
'Yes, Joey, a motive. Zigfried's company is doing well. He won't benefit if Kaiba corp. flourishes. He'd want them to fail. This is of no gain to him.'
'Oh, ok.' Joey quietened down. He was obviously behind. He stole a glare at Kaiba who smiled knowingly.
'You'll have to phone him some time Kaiba. He's the only one who could hack you, maybe he can tell you how your blackmailer is doing it.' The old man took another sip.
'Pegasus that's really out of the question, I don't need that sort of help.'
'I think you do Kaiba-boy. You're running out of time. Swallow your pride of you're going to suffer. I hope you know that.
'I know my options. I just don't want him to be one of them.'
'Kaiba, be reasonable…'
'No!' The brunet stood up, slamming his hands on the table. Joey was taken back and stared at the angered face of Seto Kaiba. He glanced quickly to a calm looking Pegasus who seemed to simply shrug.
'Then your brother will die.' Seto ground his teeth, sitting down reluctantly.
'Fine.' He ground out. Pegasus picked up the phone and requested that the pink haired boy attend his Domino Mansion immediately.
'You should really calm down, Kaiba-boy, you're blood pressure must be through the roof.' Joey smiled. Pegasus was right, the brunet was always pent up about something, stressed out or angry. Then again his brother was usually kidnapped or his company was under threat, so it was understandable. A loud flapping noise shattered the peaceful garden, Joey looked up to a huge helicopter, hovering above the yard.
'Well, that was fast.' Kaiba groaned, rubbing his temples and Pegasus stood up.
