Kaiba clicked around, pulling a small LED torch from his pocket. The silence was almost deafening.
'Where to start? You know this place best.' Pegasus looked over to the brunet, who could scarce be seen in the lighting. A sudden hum set an eerie red glow to cast over the room, Kaiba suddenly looked around.
'You don't have long, the clock is ticking.' The familiar voice sounded over the speakers, before a loud ticking noise echoed the halls.
'Right, so Mokuba is in the building. The main quarters for VIP are in the left tower.' He span around, before running off in the direction he mentioned. The other CEOs shrugged before running after him. Pulling out his gun, Kaiba thought it best to remain vigilant, Duke's twisted mind had already brought them this far, how much further it would go, he didn't know. As he reached the quarters, he kicked each door open in turn, to find nothing and no one around. Fuck. He was wasting time. Where would Mokuba be, think, think. He began darting back down the stairs, passing Pegasus and Zigfried as he did so, to which both men turned around, tired, and began chasing the brunet again. As he reached the bottom most floor, Kaiba searched the rooms before shrieking again. What the fuck was going on? The castle was huge, and the rooms were vast, he could be anywhere. Where the fuck was Joey anyway, and how had he gotten kidnapped from right under their noses? It was all getting too complex, and after a serious lack of sleep, Kaiba was beginning to feel the consequences. He flopped against the floor, his head banging against the wall, he gripped his white hair in frustration, letting out a mild scream.
'Now, now, Kaiba. Time is of the essence, and you are running out.' The brunet punched the floor, bastard Devlin would pay for this once he got his hands on him. Pulling himself to his feet; he began to decide the next best place to look. His mind began to tick over, where would his brother be?
He was in none of the obvious places,
Or the lesser places,
No.
That wasn't it.
His mind raced with the thoughts from previous conversations and experiences in the castle.
Time is of the essence.
Time is running out.
Time.
Time.
Tick.
Tock.
Tick.
Tock.
Time.
That was it. Time. How many times had Kaiba been admitted to Kaiba castle? 6. How many times had he used it under his company name for profit? 30. How many times had Mokuba been admitted? 2. 6 x 30 x 2 was 360. 360 degrees in a full turn, which was a circle and the shape of the two southern tower. That was close enough, however there were 50 rooms in each tower. Kaiba continued to think. His mind boiling over. 360, divided by the number of years he was blackmailed, 2. That made 180, which was a half turn. The bomb would explode at 6pm, which was 18.00 in the digital clock. 180 divided by 18 was 10…
10.
That was it. 10. The west southern block had the single digit rooms. Kaiba looked to his watch, 5.52. He took a long breath before standing up and racing to the decided room with all of his speed. If Mokuba was in room 10, that meant that the bomb must be in…
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
