(A/N: In this chapter I have Seto a little out of character.)

Chapter Five

When Seto lifted his head he held me as if I would disappear again and he whispered "don't you ever do that again, do you hear me? When you father came up missing and they found him dead, I thought that you were dead too until last night when I got this cryptic message from Millie." I looked up at Seto in shock and asked "did you say that my father was dead?" Seto nodded his head yes, and then he said "lets go sit down, I have to call Roland and let him know that you've been found and he can tell Mokuba who has been a regular pain in the butt ever since the Police said that you we missing."

We held hands as we walked towards the porch and there was Millie sitting there with this satisfied look on her face. She has three glasses of her homemade lemonade and some of her gingersnaps. Before we got to the porch Seto asked "how long have you been here?"

"I told him that I had been here about a month helping Millie get the place fixed up because she has to sell it and move. Seto looked around and said "it does need some work. I haven't seen or talked to Millie since she left the Manor and moved away. Her husband and son were killed in an accident and well I thought that she had moved back to America, that's were she was born. I didn't even know she had this place."

Seto took out his cell phone and called Roland and let him know that I was alright and then he asked him to take care of Mokuba, I will be gone for about three weeks. We are helping an old friend with some things and when we are done we both will becoming home."

When we got to the porch, Millie smiled at us and as we sat down I looked at her and said "you're a sneaky one, do you know that?"

She burst out laughing and then she stopped and looked at me and she said "you're not mad at me for calling Seto are you? Joe, I knew who you were from the first but I wanted you to tell me what was wrong and why you had run off. I've become very fond of you over the time we spent together and I'd never do anything to damage that friendship."

I went over to her chair and knelt down beside it and took her hand into mine and I whispered "what you did to a lot of guts, because if my dad was alive he might of followed Seto and all three of us would be in dead. You see, my father was an evil man who knew men who wouldn't blink an eye if they had to kill an woman to get to me. So no, I'm not mad in fact I'm grateful that you did call Seto because I was so tired of walking with no place to go but now I can go home because Seto has told me that my dad is dead and I have nothing to fear." Then I kissed her.

We drank lemonade and Seto asked her "have room for one more to stay for a few days?" Mollie smiled and said "there's more then enough room for you both." We enjoyed a very delicious dinner and went to bed early and we slept in separate beds and woke up to that stupid rooster. After breakfast Seto asked Millie if she has some clothes that he could wear when we went out to work some more on the things that needed to be repaired?"

Millie got him some clothes that and when he changed we went outside and she gave him a pair of work gloves and I showed him what we had to do and believe it or not, Seto is pretty good at working with his hands. We worked till Millie called and said "that lunch was ready and we went to wash up and as we sat outside at the table we ate cold fried chicken, had some of her great potato salad, pork and beans, rolls and that great ice cold lemonade." Then we went back to work and worked till dinner was ready and after dinner we were both so tired that we went to bed around seven and when our heads hit the pillows were we fast asleep.

With Seto's help the work went fairly fast, though some things I didn't even know how to fix and Seto told me "I'll have someone come out and do that. Hell, I don't want to die trying to fix that old barn roof. We both laughed and went to find something that we could fix. Well we had been there for about three more weeks and the old place started looking pretty damn good if I have to say so myself. Seto and I were pretty darn sore from using muscles that we haven't used before but you know neither of us ever complained at all. Millie was so happy that she broke down and cried one evening and damned if Seto and I didn't join her.

When it was all done, she couldn't believe that everything that needed to be fixed was done and when Seto told her "we have to get back because Joey has to go talk to the Police and let them know that he isn't dead. Then he said you're coming to visit aren't you?" Millie laughed and then she said "hell why not I haven't seen Roland and the others in a few years." So we boarded up the old place and Millie got some things together and we got into Seto's car and he drove back to Domino, but we didn't know that we were going to be in a lot of danger from the men that killed my father.
