Kaiba raced to room 10, he had a 50/50 chance of success. The bomb and Mokuba would be in opposite rooms, or so he hoped. As he dashed past the other CEO's caught up with him, his long longs closing the distance quickly. Just as he reached the tower, a small rumble stopped him in his foot steps.
'Out of time, Kaiba.' The voice sounded over the halls, echoing madly into the brunet's brain. 'The first bomb will now detonate. This gives you exactly one minuet to save your brother.'
Suddenly, Kaiba burst out into an full scale sprint, occasionally tripping over his own feet. As he reached room 10, he kicked open the door to see Mokuba waiting.
'Mokuba!' He ran to grab his brothers arm, to feel his hand go straight through. A quake hit the tower and Kaiba looked around.
'Out of time. Did you guess it? The bomb is in room 10…' the room fell dark, and the door clicked. What the…
A figure rolled around to the door, smirking through the window. Kaibe raced to the glass, banging on it, hard.
'Duke! What's the fucking point? What are you gaining!'
'Half of your business, actually.' Kaiba's heart fell dead. 'And your boyfriend.'
'Don't be such a tosser, even if I died he'd never go to you knowing you did this!'
'I did this?' the black eyebrow raised, 'I think you'll find you're sadly mistaken.' With that, he turned on his heel and left, as the tower shook again.
Kaiba's eyes darted around? What the fuck could he do? There was nothing. He kicked and punched at the door, though he knew it had been built to keep people out. He was going to die, and he knew it. But he wouldn't go down now, no. Not without a fight. As he prepared the drawers in the room to launch at the glass window, Pegasus and Zigfried appeared at the window. The pink haired man's eyes narrowed, a grin almost crossing his face as Pegasus looked shocked.
As the brunet charged at the door, the men stepped back, the glass cracking enough for Seto to punch through. Pegasus dusted the glass from the frame, before Zigfried took a large shard in his hand.
'This, ends here.' His eyes narrowed as he looked to the man half way through the window frame. Instantly, Kaiba dived at the other CEO, his legs sprawling forward in a flying kick, knocking the other to the ground before punching him in the face, he seriously didn't have time anymore. He began to run with the white haired man close behind.
'He's in the opposite tower. Room 18. The divide was a miscalculation. All of it was. He repeated the time and 18.00 several times. It's room 18.' As the men ran the unexpected whipping noise tore through the air, turning around, they watched the tower fall over, collapsing in a pile of dust. Kaiba's breath hitched. Fuck. His legs belted faster, his heart pounded harder, and his blood pressure was through the roof. He burst into room 18 to find a note on the desk.
'Too little too late.
Catch me if you can.'
The anger boiled over, mounting in a full blown scream before the CEO kicked over the desk, tearing at the paper. Devlin would pay for screwing around like this, he would fucking die. So would anyone who got in his way. He needed Joey, and he needed Mokuba. He needed to move fast or else he might loose them for good. His face furrowed in anger before the older CEO placed a hand on his shoulder,
'We need to move quickly.' He whispered, 'They won't stay here. You need to think. Really think. Where would they go?' Kaiba's lips parted and his shoulders sank. He knew the elder was right. He pulled himself to his sore feet, heading to the exit. He was running out of time and options, and no matter how hard he racked his brains, nothing made enough sense to work out where Mokuba and his puppy would be.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The air felt cold on Joey's shoulders. As the blind fold came off, his brown eyes met glowing grey. Mokuba, he smiled. Thank god for that.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Hey!
I'm not doing great recently. Also got my ass handed to me at jiu jitsu tonight, my neck and head still hurt from all the chokes! I had the worse day at work, my call time has probably rocketed and I got a lot of complaints. But I got enough time to sketch Joey! Ahah. Hold time is amazing, I love it. Everyone should put me on hold.
So, another chapter. What does everyone think? Any ideas where they are? (I don't know yet either) or who the blackmailer is, (that I do know…)
So
Please R&R
Much loves
AB
