Chapter Five

One day while Seto was in his Office, he got a call from the Attorney he hired to represent Joey and Mr. Thorton told Seto "someone screwed up and Mr. Wheeler is out of jail and the Police don't know where he is."

"What? Who the hell did something like that?" Seto yelled into the phone.

"Mr. Kaiba, we're looking into it as we speak but I wanted to let you know and you can make sure that Joseph Wheeler is kept safe till we apprehend his father again."

Seto slammed down the phone and ran out of his Office. He yelled to his Secretary to "have his car ready" and he headed for his private elevator. When the doors opened the attendant threw him his keys and he roared out of the parking lot and raced towards the Game Shop. As he drove he called Solomon and told him "keep Joey inside till I get there, I'll explain then."

Solomon told Seto "Joey and the others went to the Arcade."

"Wheeler is out of jail, because some son-of-a-bitch screwed up the paper work. We need to find him and fast, before that monster gets his hands on Joey again."

Seto race to the Mall and getting there he nearly caused a crash, but he didn't give a damn, he needed to find Joey and make sure that he and the others were safe. As he ran through the Mall, he prayed that he would get there in time, but his prayers weren't to be answered.

As he entered the Arcade, something wasn't right. Yami finally got up off the floor and seeing Seto there he ran to him. "Joey's father has him and he isn't very happy with him."

"Where did they go?" Seto asked him.

"He said something about making sure that Joey learned his lesson and then he said something about the factory." Yami told Seto. Seto got out his phone and called Roland.

"Do you know of any factory that Joey's father would know about?" Seto asked him.

"God, he has him? Roland said. The only one I know of is on the edge of Domino and it's falling apart."

"Seto, I'll meet you there with some protection." Roland told him.

Seto, Yami, Bakura and Marik got into Seto's car, while Yugi and the others went back to the Game Shop to wait with Solomon.

As Seto got to the place, Roland and some other men were already there. He gave Seto and the others guns and told "them to watch where they were walking. This place has lots of booby traps that were installed to keep people out."

Seto, Yami, Bakura and Marik went one way, while Roland and the others spread out to cover more ground. As they made their way to the factory, Seto said a silent prayer that he would find Joey before his father could do any harm to him. Just then they hear a blood curdling scream coming from inside the building and Seto took off with the others on his heals.

When they got inside they saw Joey laying there on the ground and his body was a mess. Standing over him was his father and he had a real crazed look on his face. "Taught that little queer what it means to be a man." he said. Wheeler didn't even notice that he wasn't alone. He then picked up a gun and pointed it at Joey's head but before he could pull the trigger there was a shot and he fell over dead. Standing there was Roland and he had a smile on his face.

Seto and the others ran over to where Joey was lying and Seto took off his trench coat and covered his naked body with it. "Roland, call for an Ambulance" Seto yelled. Seto then fell onto his knees and started to cry. Yami, Bakura and Marik had tears rolling down their faces. Seto looked up at them and he whispered "he had to live, he's my love and my best friend."

They heard the sirens and then the Ambulance got there and they rushed Joey out of there to a spot to an awaiting Helicopter to air lift his body to the Hospital. Seto and the others followed in the car. Yami drove because Seto was a nervous wreck and it was all Bakura and Marik could do to keep him from shaking apart.

Please R&R.
