Chapter Eighteen

Dinner that evening was a first for the Manor, Helga had prepared a buffet line and everyone who worked at the Manor was at the dining table.

As they ate, they laughed and joked and told stories that had everyone in stitches and it was one of the best times that Seto had ever had, and he didn't want it to end, but he knew that tomorrow would be another day.

After dinner was over and everyone had gone to bed, Seto went up to his room, Roland went to his room and Helga went to her room and they each placed calls to New York.

Seto called Joey and when Joey answered his phone and heard Seto's voice, he nearly stopped breathing. "How are you doing?" Seto asked.

Joey swallowed the lump in his throat and he said, "Better now that I can hear your voice, how's thing going in Domino?"

Seto told him about having a talk with the staff and how elated they were that they weren't going to be losing their jobs, and how Helga had fixed a buffet dinner and we all had dinner together."

Joey smiled as he listened to Seto and he heard how at ease Seto was and that made him happy. Then Seto said, "Tomorrow I'll be signing the papers with Pegasus and as soon as they are signed, dad and I will be coming home."

Seto heard the pause in Joey's voice and he said, "Everything's going to be just fine, nothing is going to happen to either of us."

Joey then said, "I believe you, but sometimes crazy thoughts get in the way and you know how I am, I'm always letting those thoughts make me go nuts." Joey then told Seto how he and Jasper were trying to teach Mokie how to paint and how he wasn't really that bad.

Seto laughed and then he said, "I bet that it is a real challenge to do that." Joey then said, "He's pretty good."

Then Seto said, "I'd better go, it's getting late and I have to get up early so that Pegasus and I can talk about the merger." Joey told him that he loved him and Seto said the same then he hung up the phone. As Joey listened to the dial tone, he prayed that nothing would happen to any of them.

Roland called Jasper and when he heard Roland's voice Jasper said, "How are things there?

Roland told him about how Seto talked to the staff and that they all had dinner together and it was a really nice time. Jasper smiled and kind of wished he could have been there. Then Roland said, "Seto's meeting with Pegasus tomorrow and after he signs the papers and everything is in order, we're coming home."

Jasper got an uneasy feeling and he said, "Please be careful and both of you come home to us, I miss you and Ro, I love you with all my heart."

Roland knew that he was probably scared and he said, "Jas, everything is going to be just fine, Seto and I will be coming home soon."

Jasper smiled as he heard Roland say, "I love you with all my heart and I can hardly wait for us to become life mates. I've got to go now, and get some sleep. I'll call you tomorrow and let you know how things are going." Then Roland hung up the phone and as Jasper did the same, he prayed that nothing bad would happen.

Mokuba was sitting in the living room when his cell phone rang and when he answered it; he smiled as he heard Helga's voice say, "How are you doing?"

Mokuba loved her like she was their mother and he said, "It's good to hear your voice, I miss you and everyone there."

Helga knew that he was lonely and she said, "Seto said that tomorrow he and Pegasus would be signing the papers for the selling of Kaiba Corp. and that then he and Roland would be leaving to go back to New York."

Mokie then said, "I know that everything is going to be alright, but I still can't get this nagging feeling out of my head that something is going to happen and they won't be coming home."

Helga wished that she could be there to hold him, because he was so scared, then she said, "Listen, stop thinking things like that, Travis is the best pilot and he'll make sure that Seto and Roland will get home safely."

Mokuba sighed and then he said, "Guess what, I'm learning to become an artist like Joey and Jasper."

Helga laughed as she thought about Joseph and Jasper trying to teach him and then she said, "Paint a picture for me and when you come to visit you can give it to me."

Mokie said, "You've got yourself a deal, and I'll make sure that it's a really nice painting."

Helga then said, "Listen I've got to go, I have to get up early and fix breakfast for those two, I'll call you tomorrow and we can talk some more." Then she hung up and as Mokie did the same, he prayed that nothing would happen to either of them on their way back home.

Early the next morning, Seto got up and went downstairs to get some coffee and he found that Roland was already there. Seto sat down at the table and Helga asked, "When is your meeting with Mr. Pegasus?"

Seto smiled at her and he said, "Around nine. Helga's what's wrong?"

I called and talked to Mokuba and he's really scared that something bad is going to happen to both of you on the flight back, you need to call and reassure him that everything is going to be alright."

Seto went over and kissed her cheek and he said, "I'll go call him right now, and thanks for calling and talking to him, he really misses you and the rest of the staff."

Seto left the room and Roland said, "Joseph and Jasper have been having the same thoughts and neither Seto nor I know how to let them know that everything is going to be alright."

Helga smiled and said, "The only way you can do that is to go home as soon as possible and let them know just how much they mean to both of you."

He smiled and gave her a kiss and said, "You're one hell of a good friend, confidant and surrogate mother all wrapped in one beautiful package."

She wiped the tears from her face and she said, "Get the hell out of here and let me get my work done."

Roland left the kitchen laughing and he found Seto in the living room talking to his brother.

"Mokie, we are both going to be alright and as soon as I sign the papers and Travis is ready to fly the jet back to New York, I'll call and let you, Joey and Jasper know. Please don't be worried, I love you little bro, and we'll see all of you later."

Then he hung up the phone and looked at Roland and he said, "We'd better get going, so that Pegasus can sign the papers and we can go home."

Roland drove the car and as he pulled into the gates of Kaiba Corp., Seto was so glad to be getting this monster off his hands, he also knows that he owes it to his employees to let them know that he was selling this company to Maximillion Pegasus, so before anything is signed, Seto's going to have a meeting to let everyone know what he is going to do.
