Chapter 13 : Interrogation

It was now 4:00pm and Yuko had just arrived back at Yusei's and found that both Jack and Yusei were both observing the final result of their new duel runner engine via the computer, while Crow was just laying down the couch while watching Tv.

"Typical Monday afternoon" thought Yuko to himself as he remember lazing about on his couch watching Tv at his garage apartment every Monday afternoon. He decided to go upstairs, passing Jacks coffee stained clothes piled at the bottom of the stairs. He was surprised that Jack wasn't angry (or wasn't angry anymore), which made the place seem strangely quite.

Yuko yawned as he reached the top step and jumped on to the bed just in front of him. Being as tired as he was, Yuko decided to that he would take a nap, and so he quickly took off his leather, black boots and coat, dropping them next to his bed. He then made himself comfortable under the smooth, white bed sheets, allowing his body to relax and for sleep to take over his mind.

Yuko woke up 3 hours later by the sound of a security siren. He got up and skimmed his hand through his hair. It wasn't crazy...yet.

"Thank God!" gasped Yuko, and quickly jumped out of his bed, dashed downstairs to find Jack, Crow and Yusei having a conversation with what seemed to be a security officer.

"Well, who is this then? asked the officer, who looked as if he had just been interrupted. Yuko walked over formally to the officer and shook his hand.

"I'm Yuko Tatsumi. I'm a friend of Yusei's" he said, trying to sound confident. Yusei nodded and smiled, assuring Yuko there he had done nothing wrong.

"Pleased to meet you. I'm Trudge from security. I'm here to investigate an illegal duel that took place in Satellite a few days ago and I decided to come by here first just to see if you guys knew anything about this?"

Yuko gulped and after a few quiet seconds, he was about to explain when Yusei stepped forward. "Yeah, we heard about it. It was a duel between a psychic duelist criminal and a Satellite duelist. Apparently the criminal lost and now he's behind bars".

Trudge snorted. "Wow, you seem to know a lot about the situation, except you are wrong about one thing. The criminal wasn't a psychic duelist".

Jack and Yusei's eyes widened at the news.

Yuko clear his throat. "Wait, how's that possible? There are scorch marks all of the duel field".

Trudge glared at Yuko. "Yes, but the scorch marks weren't created by the duelist. It came from the duel disk itself".

Yuko looked at Trudge confused, who noticed the expression and began to explain. "You see, a special kind of duel disk was stolen from the Arcadia not long ago. It was a duel disk that contained psychic power within itself, created for army purposes . However, after a few months, the project was canceled because it was considered too dangerous and was locked up deep within the Arcadia. When the criminal was taken in, there was no duel disk attached to his arm, therefore we now assume the Satellite duelist now has it".

Yuko looked at Yusei and Jack, not turning their heads to meet his gaze. Crow (who was still laying on the couch) yawned and turned to look at Trudge with disinterest. "How many of these duel disks do the Arcadia have?"

Trudge sniffed. "None apart from the one that was taken, and I'm going to confiscate it as it is a danger to the public". Crow scuffed and went back to watching Tv.

"Well Trudge, we haven't seen it or know of its whereabouts, do we Yuko?" said Yusei as he looked at Yuko with trust-filled eyes.

Yuko took a deep breath. "Nope. I've never even seen it before in my life".

"Neither have I", boomed Jack, and went back to working on finishing touches on the engine.

Trudge nodded and bowed. "Alright then, thank you do your time", he said calmly and left, slamming the door shut behind him.

"Weird", said Jack. "Why would they assume that you have it Yuko?"

I dunno", lied Yuko, and quickly ran back upstairs to where his coat was laying. He reach into one of the pockets and pulled out the duel disk which he was given to him by the old man. He then hid it in a brown old tin box which he found under his bed and locked it. Yuko sighed, letting out a gasp of relief and climbed back into his bed as if nothing strange had happened tonight. "What am I gonna do about this", he moaned, and cosily covered himself up with his soft bed sheets. If the security found out that Yuko had the duel disk, and that he was the Satellite duelist, then he would surely be in big trouble.

"It's a good thing Yusei and Jack didn't give me away", he thought happily to himself, and slowly went back to sleep, not hungry for dinner.

Yuko: Don't forget to Review, Follow or add to Favourites! :D

Jack: Hey Yuko, I was just looking through your deck and...why did I find Scapegoat?

Yuko: Uhh...cause it's one of the only good cards in my crap deck?

Crow: Oh come on, Yuko! Your deck not that bad!

Yuko: Well thanks, that makes me feel so much better (sarcastic).

Jack: Ahem...Crow! If I remember correctly, you've lost to Yuko 5 times in a row lately!

Crow: Hey, they were match duels. I'd always win once and then lose twice!

Jack: Still, 5 matches in a row? Yuko's deck ain't bad, but it's clear to see that your deck ain't good.

Crow: Ok, that's it! I've had enough of your annoying comments, Jack! Yuko, let's have another duel! _

Yuko: :3
