Chapter Fourteen

After they left seeing Solomon, they went to find out how Mokuba and Seto were and they found out that Mokie was going to be discharged tomorrow, but Seto was another thing altogether. He was suffering from some kind of mental trauma and he had shut down and was in a comatose state and his doctor was worried that he wouldn't ever come back reality.

Joey then told the doctor that "he would be responsible for Mokuba until he could locate their older brother who was somewhere in Canada."

The doctor then said "he would see to it that tomorrow Mokuba would be discharged into his custody and that he would have a better diagnosis of Seto's condition then."

Joey and Tristan walked down to Mokuba's room and Tristan asked him "who is there older brother?" Joey then said "Roland was like their older brother who raised them since Gozoboro had passed away but when Allister came into the picture he had Seto fire him and he was asked never to return according to what Mokie had told Solomon."

They went into the room and Mokie was lying in a fetal position and he was crying and when Joey said his name he turned over and nearly threw himself into Joey's arms and sobbed "Seto's gone and he won't be coming back, Joey what's going to happen to me?"

Joey held him till he finally stopped crying and he said "you'll be coming to live with Tristan and me till I can locate Roland and tell him what's been going on and if I know Roland he'll be on the next flight back here as soon as he can."

Mokie then looked straight into Joey's eyes and asked "what happened to Seto, and please don't lie to me."

Joey looked at Tristan and he walked over to them and then Joey said "I don't really know, the one who knows is your brother and right now he's fighting his own demons and until he can make them go away well he's going to have to stay here till he gets better."

Mokie then asked "can I come see him?"

Tristan nearly started sobbing at that question and he told Mokie "maybe right now you had better let Joey and I come see him and when he starts to get better then you can come with us."

Mokie knew what he meant and he smiled at them and then he curled up against Joey's chest and listening to the beat of Joey's heart he fell asleep. Joey had tears running down his face as did Tristan and Joey whispered "if Seto doesn't fight and fight hard this little one will be scared for life and I won't let that happen."

Tristan knew that Joey had to do this and he was so damn proud of him for sticking beside his friends even though Seto did hurt him terribly but that wasn't going to stop Joey from finding some way to reach him and get him to come home to his brother.

Joey sat all night in the big chair hold Mokie in his arms while Tristan sat in the other less comfortable one. Together they were keeping watch over this young man who needed someone to care and give him love. When it became dawn the Nurse came in and softly said "I have to take his vitals" so Joey carefully laid Mokie on the bed and they stepped out of the room and that when Tristan said "give me Roland's number and I'll go call him, you stay here with Mokie and I'll be right back."

Joey smiled at this man who was not only his lover but his best friend and he told him "thank you for understanding about all of this and for being here and giving me your love and strength to see this through to the end." Tristan kissed him and went to the waiting room to make the call.

Roland was sitting with his brother in his house and they were having breakfast when the phone rang and Dennis said "bro, you have a phone call from Domino someone by the name of Tristan Taylor."

Roland almost over turned the chair when he got up and went to the phone and as he said "what's wrong?" he knew that it wasn't going to be good.

Tristan "explained everything to him and then told Roland about the trouble with Allister and finally he said Seto's in bad shape, he is comatose and the doctor's are very worried that he won't come out and Mokie needs you to come home" Tristan was crying now and then Roland told him "I'll be on the next flight out and will be in Domino in three days, please will you and Joey take care of him till I get there?"

Tristan then told him "you know we will and Roland, Allister isn't with the living anymore."

Roland breathed a sigh of relief but he also felt sorry for the man because he was still a human being even if he was that disturbed. Roland thanked Tristan again and then hung up the phone and slid down the wall till he sat on the floor and started crying so hard his brother thought that he would shake the house apart. He went to his younger brother and held him in his arms and whispered "let it out, I've got you just let it all out."

Finally Roland regained control of his emotions and he was able to tell his brother about what Tristan had told him and Dennis picked up the phone and called the Airport and booked his brother on the next flight to Domino, Japan.

Roland then with his brother's help got off the floor and they went into the room he was using and they packed Roland's things and then together they sat and talked about the past and had a good old crying party and after they were done, they both told each other how much they loved each other and then Dennis drove his brother to the Airport and Roland got on the plane and went home.

Tristan went back to Mokuba's room and went inside and quietly he told Joey "Roland's on his way back here and he'll be here in three days."

Joey reached out and Tristan took his hand and they sat there watching the young man sleeping and then they both closed their eyes and said a silent prayer that God would help Seto find his way home.

It was around five the next morning when the doctor came to talk to Joey and Tristan about Seto's condition and he said "if we don't find a way to reach him then I'm afraid that he will stay that way for the rest of his life."

Joey looked at Tristan and he nodded that he understood and Joey said "can I go talk to him and see what I can do?"

The doctor told him "it can't hurt and just maybe you will be able to reach him and get him to want to come back from that deep abyss that he's in."

The doctor left and Tristan turned to Joey and said "listen, I know that you are probably the one person who can do this so please go and see if you can reach him." Joey held onto Tristan and then he kissed him and he walked off towards Seto's room while Tristan went back inside to be with Mokuba.
