Ch 7

Ryo glanced up when a doctor came toward him. "How is he?" He asked.

"He has a slight infection from his injuries from the car accident. He also has more broken bones from the thrashing his father gave him. I place him with his brother. I figured it would be easier to keep an eye on them." The doctor informed him. Ryo nodded his thanks and headed for the boys room. He glanced inside and saw both boys asleep along with Rowena and Cye. He went over to them and shook them awake.

"Why don't you guys go to the cafeteria and get something to eat they won't be awake for sometime." Ryo suggested. Rowen and Cye nodded and left the room not knowing they were being followed. A figure slipped into the room simply nodding to the guards. Ryo glanced up thinking they couldn't be back from the cafeteria so soon and gasped at who he saw. "Sage?" he asked. He took in his friend/crushes attire and was shock. His face was drawn and pale he had bags under his steel grey eyes. He had lines around his mouth and eyes. "Sage wh—" Ryo began., but stopped when Sage brought up a hand.

"I-I came to apologize."


(With Rowen and Cye)

Rowen and Cye felt something was off but didn't quiet know what. They reached the cafeteria and each grabbed a sandwich and a soda. They ate quickly and started back toward the boys' room. They were shocked to see the guards guarding Yami and Atemu's rooms unconscious. They ran into the room and were shocked to see someone standing over Atemu's bed holding a pillow over his face. "HEY!" Rowen shouted causing the figure to dropt the pillow allowing Atemu to breathe again. He advanced toward them both.

"You moronic fools. You think you can stop me from getting my revenge on these brats and their cousin. Your wrong…hahahaha….No one can stop me." He ranted. Rowen whispered into Cye's ear.

"This man thinks these two are his sons."

"Yeah, Let's try and subdue him until those guards wake up." Cye whispered. Rowen nodded.

"Now be good little boys and go home…I won't have to kill you." Samuel said. Rowen and Cye snorted.

"Crazy old man, if you think we're going to stand by and kill these two defenseless boys." Rowen said Cye nodded in agreement. Samuel smiled evilly.

"Have it your way." as he advanced toward them.


(Back with Ryo and Sage)

"Apologize? Why should I accept your apology?" Ryo asked crossing his arms. Sage sighed.

"I understand your mad Ryo, but hear me out. If your still mad at me afterwards I'll understand. Before when you were trying to explain why you went missing for so long I acted like…well a jerk. I was acting like before when we were fighting Talpa. I'm sorry I really am. Apart of me understood but another part was furious that you would risk your life for these two boys." He said.

"I just don't understand Sage, Why were you so upset?" Ryo asked. Sage shook his head.

"I-I can't tell you. If I do you'll probably leave again." He whispered. Ryo stood and went over to Sage.

"Sage, you can tell me anything. I promise I won't run." Ryo said smiling. Sage looked at him but before he could do anything they heard a thump from next door. They looked at each other and headed for the door. Ryo was shocked to see the two guards unconscious.

"They weren't like that when I came in or that other guy." Sage said. Ryo looked over to him.

"What other guy?" He asked. Sage shrugged.

"I thought he was the janitor or something course I thought it was kind of strange he watched the judge leave." Sage said. Ryo panicked.

"Sage I don't think he was the janitor…I think that was my Uncle. Judgeing why these guards are out he probably thought he is in his sons room. Come on." Ryo said as he ran into the room.


(With Rowen and Cye)

While Sage and Ryo were talking Rowen and Cye were dealing with a crazy Samuel. He had grabbed a needle with liquid in it from his coat pocket.

"What to know what this is? It's a special serum that places whoever is injected with it will go into a coma state then finally shuts down the bodies systems one by one before the victim dies when the heart goes. Once I inject this into the brats I will go after my nephew and I'll enjoy seeing the life of his life leaving his body." he said as he unhooked Yami's IV and started to insert the needle. Rowen grabbed a bedpan and tossed it over to samuel knocking the needle out of his hand and Cye crushed it with his foot.

"Sorry We're not just going to stand by and watch you kill them or our friend." Rowen said. Cye nodded in agreement.

Samuel turned his crazed eyes toward them. "You"ll pay for that." he said as he advanced toward them. He grabbed Cye and threw him to the wall. Cye slumped down but kicked out and hit Samuel in the gut causeing him to hit the wall next to him. A few seconds later the door opened revealing Ryo and Sage. "Uncle?" he asked. Samuel looked over and smirked.

"Hello Ryo, I'm goign to enjoy killing you." he said advancng on Ryo. Cye and Rowen both rushed at him only to be thrown toward Sage and they were knocked out of the room and the room closed on them and locked. They beat on the door. Sage turned to them.

"Come on we have to get help, before that guy realizes those aren't his sons and goes after the real ones." He said. Rowen and Cye nodded. They ran to the other boys room two doors down and informed the guards there that there was trouble in the judges' sons room. They radioed the police station asking for back-up.

"Come on while we're waiting on the police we can at least try to help Ryo." Rowen said. The other two nodded before heading back to the room. "Lucky for me I know how to pick a lock." Rowen said as he pulled a paper clip from his pocket.

"Let's just hope Ryo can handle him for a few minutes more till this door opens." Sage said.


Ryo gasped as he watched his uncle trap him into the room with him along with Yami and Atemu. He started backing away from his uncle and ran into Yami's bed. he looked over his shoulder and saw a needle filled with sedativtes on the table beside him. he grabbed it making sure his uncle couldn't see and hid it behind him making sure not to poke himself. His Uncle advanced toward him and grabbed his shoulders and threw him on the ground. Ryo felt hands around his neck choking him.

"Becasue of you and those brats. I lost half my life. I"m going to enjoy this." He said as he put more pressure on Ryo's neck. Ryo gasped and he tried to remove the hands and quickly grabbed the needle and injecting it into his uncle's leg. Black was edging his vison as his Uncle continued to choke him. Finally the sedative was making his uncle weak and made him pass out. Ryo pushed him off and sat up but quickly passed out as well just as the door opened revealing the guys as well as the police.


Enjoy the chapter. Hopefully I'll have another chapter up soon. You'll also know if Ryo accepts Sage's apology. Ja Ne.
