Chapter Two

Solomon Motou was the only person in all of Domino who gave a tinkers damn if the "lost children" as he calls them, gets help and is shown that someone loves them enough to show them that they are worth fighting for. Gregory first met Solomon when his own father who was a Police Officer in Domino and he had found a young boy holding an infant who they later found out was his little brother.

When Gregory's father David entered the abandoned house with his partner Mike, they found this young boy holding a baby and the baby was sleeping while the young boy was awake. When David approached the young boy he laid the baby down and stood there waiting for one of the strangers to attack him but all David and Mike did was stand still and David said "Son, I'm not going to hurt you or your brother I only want to help you if you'll let me."

Bakura had never known anyone like this man before. He had to always fight to keep this house so that he could protect Ryou from getting sick like most of the young ones were who were living out in the open. There was something about this man that made Bakura trust him and he sat back down and picked up Ryou and with tears running down his face Bakura said "Help us please."

Bakura and Ryou were the first two "Lost Children" that Solomon started taking care of and because of his love and understanding they wouldn't be the last. Solomon had asked the Courts for a special license so that he could open his home to these children who really needed his help and because of the letters from the Police Commissioner and several of the Officers the Courts granted Solomon with his license to open the first home for young boys who had no one to care for them.

Whenever an Officer would find boys who they knew really needed help they always contacted Solomon who would come and when he would go home the young boys were always with him. These young boys varied in ages from fifteen to two and when Gregory contacted Solomon about coming to the hospital and talking to Joey, Solomon said "I'll be there in the morning and Gregory, thanks for calling me."

Gregory told Freda that Solomon would be here in the morning and when she asked "Why is he able to reach these young boys, does he have magical powers or something?"

Gregory smiled and then he said "God put this beautiful man on this earth to take care of these children, the ones that no one wants and just throws away. He not only takes care of young boys he also has young girls that he has helped who have grown up and are now themselves taking care of other young girls that need someone."

Gregory told Freda about Ishizu Ishtar that his own father and his partner found inside a packing crate behind Domino Delivering Depot. When they got the call about a prowler they went to investigate and they found his young girl with two very young boys and they were huddled in the corner with some kind of blanket or something over them trying to keep warm. David called Solomon who came and well the three of them are now part of Solomon's success story of taking "Lost Children" and giving them back their self-respect and dignity and teaching them to read and write and then they became proud young people who can now walk among the people of Domino with their heads held high and never have to be afraid ever again because of one very special and loving man who gave a damn."

Freda asked Gregory "Is Solomon married and what does his wife think of what he's doing?"

Gregory told her "Solomon was married and he and his wife had two small sons whom he loved with all his heart, but one afternoon while Sara was picking up their children from school because Solomon had to meet with the bank about getting some money for fixing up their home because Sara was pregnant with their third child, when the car Sara was driving was hit head on by a drunk driver and they were all instantly killed but the damn drunk driver only got a few cuts and bruises. The driver of the other car was found guilty of vehicular manslaughter and had to pay restitution to Solomon for the death of his family. Solomon decided not to just lie down and mourn their deaths, he decided to help others who really needed his help and that's how he began doing what he's doing today."

Joey stirred and he started whimpering and Gregory went over and gently touched him and he whispered "Sleep not young one for tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of your life because you're going to meet the man who will show you that you're just a good as anyone else living in this world."

Freda had to wipe the tears from her face as she listened to what Gregory said to the young child laying in the bed so lost and lonely. She really prayed that this Solomon Motou could really help Joey because he really needed it.

The next morning when Solomon walked to the room where Gregory said was this lost boy and when he opened the door he found Gregory asleep beside the bed and this young boy watching him sleep. When Joey saw this strange man come into the room he wasn't afraid of him and he couldn't understand why. Gregory woke up when he felt Joey stir and he looked at the door and when he saw Solomon he smiled and said "It's good to see you again" and they shook hands.

Gregory then looked at Joey and he said "This is Solomon Motou and he is the best man that I've ever met and if you let him he will help you like he's helped other young boys and girls like yourself."

Joey understood what Gregory was saying but he still couldn't put what he wanted into words and Solomon picked up on this and he carefully walked over to the bed and he said "Just take a deep breath and let it out and close your eyes and see what you want to say and it'll come to you."

Joey did as Solomon asked him to and then all of a sudden Joey said "You won't hurt me or stop me from talking?"

Solomon gently touched Joey's head and he said "No I will never hurt you and I love hearing you talk you have such a beautiful voice."

Joey started crying and he held his arms up and Solomon picked him up and held him to his breast and he looked at Gregory and he whispered "God bless you for finding this young man he will never know hurt only the love that we will shower him with."

Gregory went over and put his arm around both of them and he said "Sara, Yugi, Yami and your daughter are so very proud of you for what you've been doing and their all in heaven smiling down on you this very minute sending you their love."

Solomon then took on of his hands to touch the side of Gregory's face and he said "David and Molly are up there beside my family smiling down on you for what you're doing by helping Sasha and Jeffery and we're both being showered with hugs and kisses straight from heaven."
