Journey Maker doesn't own Yugioh

Chapter Three

Solomon stood beside Hank's bed looking at him and he said, "why, why did you do that, you nearest devastated that young lady. Hank, I was here when you and Mary brought that young lady home the love in your eyes told me that she was your daughter. What's changed?"

Hank closed his eyes and Solomon knew that he was done talking. As he left the bedroom, Rose approached him and as she gave hin an envelope, she told him, "this might help explain whats going on." lnside the envelope was this letter.

Solomon:

You remember when we brought our new born daughter home, we were so happy, especially Joseph. He asked us for a baby sister.

Things changed, when the car accident put our daughter in the hospital. After bleed test were taken it proved that my dear wife had an affair, and our daughter was conceived from that relationship.

I asked her about that, she laughed and told me if I'd been a better husband, I'd never turned to another man." That's why I never accepted her daughter as my own.

Hank

Solomon stared at the letter, then he looked at Rose and said, "what do I do now?" Rose wiped away the tears from her face, and said, "Hank will never tell that poor child the truth. He doesn't have very long to live, so maybe it'll be up to you to tell those poor children the truth."

When Solomon left Hank's house, he cursed the day he ever thought that Hank Wheeler was a good man. As he unlocked the door at the house where Joseph and Serenity was staying at. Joseph looked at him and asked, "what did that bastard have to say for why he was so mean to my sister?"

Solomon took a deep breath and said, "we need to sit down, this is so complicated and I need you to keep your temper under control." Just then Serenity came out of her bedroom and asked, "can we go get sonething to eat?"

Joey smiled at her, he got up and looked at Solomon and asked, "is there a burger joint near here?" Solomon laughed as he stood, "The Burger Barn is still selling what Yugi says is the best burgers around." Joey said, "lets go, I'm starving." So they all got into the car Joey was using and he drove them to get some burgers. As they sat there eating, the look that Joey gave Solomon, promised that Joey wouldn't let the conversation that they had was going to continue as soon as possible.

When they left? Serenity asked Joey, "why was dad so mean?" Before he could answer, Solomon told her, "Hank's mind isn't working right, the cancer is getting worse." That seemed to answer any questions that she might have. But it didn't answer any questions that Joey had, and Solomon knew. He wasn't ready to have Joseph ask him about his father's reaction to Serenity. When they got back to the house, Solomon walked over to Joseph and he said, "please, can we wait until tomorrow and I swear I'll answer all your questions."

Joey knew that something wasn't right and that whatever Solomon wanted to talk about was going to change things and it wouldn't be for the best. "Alright, we'll talk tomorrow, but if what you have to tell us causes Serenity any more pain, you'd better hope you can stop me from killing that bastard."

Solomon told them both goodnight and left to go home. He prayed that Joseph didn't really mean what he'd just said.
