The following morning, it was 7:30 and Tristan was getting ready for work as he looked on at Serenity in her bed scared, looking out the window.
"Serenity?" Tristan was still concerned for Serenity's well-being as he had to talk to Kaiba about their current situation. Tristan walked towards Serenity as he rubbed her shoulders to calm her down. She moaned to his fingers massaging her shoulder bones. "Serenity, just try to relax. I'm gonna head off to work, okay? I'm going to call your brother Joey and see if he'll watch out for you while I'm away. Is that fine?"
Serenity held Tristan close to her as she didn't even want him to leave. "Tristan, I don't want you to go. Why can't you just stay here and call in sick?"
"Someone's gotta put food on the table Serenity." Tristan released Serenity from her grip as he held her hands into his. "Besides, you and I both know Joey can protect you, even when I am not around. I need you to be strong for me and for our child to be." He held her small belly bump as it was barely noticeable for anyone to see. Serenity wants her child to be safe from anyone that tries to threaten her family. She stopped shedding tears and put on a determined look on her face.
"Okay Tristan. I'll try to be strong." Tristan kissed her cheek as he went straight to work before he would be late. As he went into their car, Tristan dialed his phone to call Joey about Serenity's current situation.
"Talk to me."
"Hey Joey, it's Tristan. I need you to do something for me. Are you busy?"
"Nah man. I can talk. What's wrong?"
"I need you to keep an eye on Serenity for me." Joey became dumbfounded. Serenity's brother Joey Wheeler wasn't that very bright when it came to hearing big words. but, when it came to protecting his only sister, he just drops everything and do what he can to help her.
"What's wrong with Serenity? Is she okay?!" Tristan manages to get a word in before he could explode all over Tristan over the phone.
"She's fine Joey, but someone is after her and I can't leave Serenity alone by herself. I need you to keep her company until I get out of work." Joey just heard the words out of Tristan's mouth.
"Tristan! Why can't you just stay the fuck home with her if she's in danger?!" Joey yelled.
"I have to go down to work so I can talk to Kaiba about asking for time off to protect her. I have to make the hours, yes, but I need to tell him that Gozaburo is on the loose and after my wife, dude!"
"Not to mention that your wife is also my sister, Tristan!" Joey was really enraged by Tristan leaving her alone, but Joey took a deep breath in to calm down and then exhaled. "Look Tristan, just because we are family, I will watch Serenity for you until you get back from work. Just try to get back soon so I can kick your fucking teeth in!"
Tristan had some mixed feelings about this, but at least Joey said he'd keep an eye on Serenity for the day. "Thanks a lot Joey. Just get over here as soon as possible." Joey got the idea as he hung up the phone and headed straight to Tristan's house to watch his own little sister.
Tristan drove off to his job as he hung up the phone. About ten minutes later, Tristan arrived at his job and chimed in to his shift. As he was at work, Serenity was at home making sure nobody would be able to get inside. She heard the doorbell ring and she rushed downstairs to see who it was. Serenity had an umbrella in her hand if it was Gozaburo.
"Serenity? It's me, Joey. Just open the door." he was knocking on the door as Serenity peeked into the hole and it really was Joey. Serenity opened the door and she rushed towards him and hugged him.
"Oh Joey, thank God its you. Quick, get inside!" Serenity yanked Joey's arm as he was brought in the house. Serenity locked the door behind her as Joey was seriously lost.
"Serenity, what the hell is going on here?!" Joey wanted answers and he wanted them now. So, Serenity started talking and filled in Joey on what was going on.
"Well Joey, it starts out like this. It was our anniversary and..." Joey wanted to know the truth short and sweet instead of long and boring.
"Just get to the point, sis!" Joey said calmly.
"I'm pregnant Joey. But, my former boss found out about it and he wants to try to take my baby away from me and Tristan." Joey didn't know if he should be happy or upset about this.
"Serenity... I don't know what to , somehow I feel both happy and angry. I'm happy that I am going to be an uncle and all, but I am angry that someone is out there trying to get their hands on you, other than Tristan that is." he continued. "Look, Tristan called me before he left to work and he told me to keep an eye on you until he gets back. So, he made me your personal bodyguard."
While Joey was protecting Serenity, a few hours went by as Tristan went into the elevator to Kaiba's office. On his way up, the elevator stopped and Atem entered inside. He was carrying papers being sent to Kaiba to fill out.
"Tristan, you seem distant. What's wrong?" Atem knew something was up the minute he sees anyone expression on their face. He had a knack for it.
"Serenity's former boss was arrested a couple of days ago because he was about to rape Serenity." Atem became silent as he wanted more details on this. "But, Serenity's fine. Nothing serious happened yet. She's with her brother now in case something happens while I'm not home."
"Tristan, I think what you did was smart. And if you want her to be safe, I will help you. That's what friends do, keep each other safe." Atem rested his hand on Tristan's shoulder to know he will help him out. As soon as they reached the top floor, Tristan and Atem went directly towards Kaiba's office, passing the appointment desk, they both stormed in and opened the door. Kaiba saw this, but he was busy typing on his laptop.
"You two better have a good reason you stormed into my office like that." Just like that, Tristan just walked up to Kaiba like he meant business.
"Kaiba, are you aware of Gozaburo Kaiba is out there on the loose?" Kaiba stood up as he walked towards the window behind his desk.
"I know about my horrid stepfather Gozaburo. He has worked me and my little brother to the bone. I managed to take over and dethrone him. Now that I hear he is out there on the loose somewhere and after you and you're wife, it isn't my problem." Atem had to step in just to help out a friend in need.
"Kaiba, open your eyes dammit! His wife is going to be raped by your step-father and the press will go straight to you about that problem since you have his last name. Think about it Kaiba, if word gets out that Serenity gets raped and loses her child, the blame will be put on the Kaiba name." Kaiba took a minute to think about that thinking that Atem may be right.
"I'll make some calls. Tristan, you will be sent home immediately and protect your spouse. Atem, I will need you to help me make these calls." Kaiba and Atem started dialing security numbers, safety numbers, any kind of security force that can help protect Tristan and Serenity in any way.
MEANWHILE
Téa and Alex, her father, were finished packing the last of the boxes into their van and were about to take them to Atem's new home to unpack. She had clothes packed, her belongings put on top to prevent anything from breaking.
"Is that all the boxes you are taking?" he said.
"Yes Daddy, that's all of them. Atem texted me the address before he went to work." Téa began to give her father directions to the house as Souza was watching them from a safe distance.
"The target is on the move, Marik."
"Excellent. Follow her and don't lose her."As he went after the van, Téa looked into the passenger mirror and saw Souza running towards the van. She turned to her father as she was about to show him that someone was following them, but when she turned back, Souza was nowhere to be seen.
"You probably just saw a cat run by." Téa knew someone was there, but her father doesn't believe her.
'That was no cat. Whatever or whoever that was, I know that it can't be good news. I better keep my eyes peeled if whoever that was comes back.' Téa thought.
As they made it to Atem's new home, they started to carry in all the boxes inside to unpack later. It took Alex and Téa about an hour to pack the boxes and bringing them inside Atem and Téa's new home. As they finished up, Téa fell on the couch to catch her breath.
"Well Téa, I better get back. Your mother is probably getting lonely. But, remember what I said to you last night, if you leave him, you're not allowed back in my house, okay?" Téa nodded as she know what she is getting herself into. As Alex left, Téa closes the door and locks it. She then jumps on top of the couch just to relax and take a little nap.
"I'll just take a little rest. A quick nap wouldn't hurt..." Téa fell asleep right on the couch and took her nap. However, Souza saw Alex drive off as he was about to make his move.
"Oh, she is making this too easy for me. Her boyfriend isn't around and I can bring her in to Marik.." Before Souza was about to head towards the house, he saw a pit bull dog growling next to him. "Oh shit!" He was chased out of the bushes by the dog as it was trying to bite him for being in his territory.
MEANWHILE AGAIN
Tristan manages to make it back to his home. He ran right inside the house to check up on Serenity and Joey.
"Serenity? Where are you?"
"We're in the kitchen." She said. Tristan heads into the kitchen as he walks into a punch in the face from Joey. He falls right to the floor.
"Joey! Why did you do that for?" Serenity yells as Joey clenches his fist from that punch.
"Hey, he had it coming. I told him this morning he was gonna get something from me." Joey explains. Tristan gets up from his punch as he grabs Joey by the shirt.
"Yeah! How about I give you my boot shoved up your ass?!"
"You got a problem having your fist pummeled?!" As the two were arguing, they hear the doorbell ring. Tristan went to the door and saw two men in black suits.
"Sir, are you Tristan Taylor?"
"Who wants to know?"
"Agent Powell and Agent Sinope. We are from the FBI, may we please come in?" Tristan saw their badges and showed their identity as he brought them inside. Tristan brought in Serenity and Joey into the living room to listen to what these two men wanted to tell them.
"Sirs and Madame, we have sources that Gozaburo Kaiba, the man who is out looking for someone to rape, is still out there on the loose and is targeting Mrs. Taylor."
"So, what are we supposed to do?" Serenity asked them.
"You and your husband will be relocated into a safe area where nobody would ever think to look, Akihabara. But, don't fear because my partner Agent Sinope will be looking after your home until the culprit has been captured."
"I suggest you start packing immediately for your safety." Agent Sinope added.
"Right, but what about my job?" Tristan asked.
"That won't be a problem sir because we have informed your superior and he will put you on paid leave until all of this nonsense is over." Tristan and Serenity began to pack their things as Joey went upstairs to help them out. Serenity packed most of her clothes since she will need some extra size clothes for later due to her pregnancy, in case the search lasts long. Joey helped Tristan and Serenity finish packing.
"Look guys, if this creep is after you and is after Serenity, I will be willing to help you by going with you. Sure, I may look like I'm getting in the way, but I will do whatever it takes to protect my sister." Tristan and Serenity talked about it for a minute and agreed to bring him along. As they finished packing and grabbed what they needed, Tristan, Serenity, and Joey took off in their car and drove off with the new location the FBI has given them. But, what they didn't know was someone was watching them from a far distance.
"So, they are on the move, huh? I'll find out where they are even if I have to kill a person or two to do it."
Oh geez, what a long chapter. But, I am on Spring Break, so I will have extra time writing more stories. But, it looks like someone is watching the couple as Souza was on the hunt for Téa.
