Annime: Hi!

Yugi: You might want to think about changing this story to a mystery.

Annime: Yea, but let's not do that just yet.

Yami: You are always putting my Yugi in danger!

Yugi: Calm down, Yami. It's just a story.

Yami: (Mumbles)

Bakura: Annime doesn't own YUGIOH or anything belonging to someone else.

Chapter 12

Yugi and Yami looked around to see people panicking. Another gun shoot was heard and Yami didn't like the look of where things were going.

"Yugi, get down!" Ben's voice yelled.

Yami didn't hesitate to shove both him and Yugi to the ground.

"Stay down," Yami ordered into Yugi's ear. Yugi murmured his understanding and stayed down as he heard more gun shots.

"Where is he?" an aggressive shouted. Yugi recognized the voice, but he was too scared about the possibilities to say it out loud. "Yugi," the voice called out, mockingly.

Shivers ran down Yugi's spine.

"Jessie," Yugi whispered. Yami held Yugi on the ground even harder, but Yugi didn't mind.

Ben watched from behind a wall as Jessie looked around the main hall. He knew he wouldn't hurt anyone…anyone besides Yugi, that is.

He turned towards Yugi and Yami, and quietly got on the floor and crawl to them.

"Yugi," Ben whispered. Yugi looked up at Ben. "I need you two to come with me."

"Why should we trust you?" Yami asked bitterly for Yugi.

"Because, I know how to get you somewhere safe, that's why."

Yugi looked up at Ben and nodded.

"Yes, please," Yugi murmured. Yami could only nod in agreement and Ben soon helped the two boys up.

"This way," Ben whispered. Yugi and Yami quickly followed him to an emergency door, and when he opened it they ran outside.

"Ok," Yugi said as his voice shook once the door was quietly closed shut. "Who are you and why do want to help us?"

"Well," Ben replied. "To begin with: I'm Ben and I work for the Secret Service."

"What's the Secret Service?" Yami asked.

"The Secret Service is a group up people that work to protect the president and other things related to it," Yugi answered, voice still shaking. "But, my question is, why do you want to help me? I'm no president."

Ben chuckled. "No, you aren't. But, you and your family are important, none the less."

"How," Yugi asked. Yami hugged Yugi close to try and calm him down, not knowing Yugi was only shaking from hearing Jessie's voice earlier.

"Well," Ben spoke, "your family goes way back to the American Revolution."

"But my family comes from Egypt," Yugi countered.

"Yes," Ben replied, "but your ancestry came to help the Americans in the war."

Yugi looked at him in disbelief.

"Prove it." Yugi didn't know how he could believe such a thing. It made no sense!

Ben sighed. "If you come with me, then I can do so."

Yugi didn't know what to do.

"Does it have to do with both sides of my family?"

Yami was surprised at Yugi's question, but Ben wasn't fazed.

"Yes," Ben answered.

"Ok then, but no funny business." Yugi wanted answers to his questions, and fast. "Is that ok with you, Yami?" he whispered.

"Yes," Yami replied. "But the moment he hurts you is the moment he gets jumped."

Yugi nodded.

"OK, then," Ben finally spoke. "Let's get into my car so that those freaks can't tell right away that it's you."

Yugi and Yami nodded and they both followed Ben to a car. Ben took out his keys and told them to climb in. Yugi and Yami didn't question him this time and jumped in quickly. It was only a matter of time before Jessie figured out that they had left.

"Where is he?" Jessie shouted. "Was he even here?"

"Boss," a boy working for Jessie spoke, "there is a paper over here with people who sighed in. Yugi's name is written on it in his own hand writing."

"So, then where is he?" Jessie asked. The boy just shrugged and Jessie screamed in frustration.

"Jessie," Dedo spoke, "maybe we should check outside."

Jessie nodded, but just then security came running into the room.

"Freeze," one of the security men barked.

"Great," Jessie muttered.

"So, how have you and your parents been? Well, besides all of the guns and that," Ben asked.

"We have been just great," Yugi replied, almost sarcastically. Almost completely sarcastic because he didn't want to seem ungrateful, but sarcasm still dripped into his words.

"Well, maybe if I gave you some answers you will warm up a little for me." Ben sighed. "When you were little, only 2 years old, your parents were on the run from your dad's side of the family. It goes way back to the American Revolution. Your dad's side was Egyptians that were siding with the British, while your mom's side sided with the Americans. Your mom's great, great, great grandparents played an important role in the war, but it was kept a secret from the rest of America. Even I don't know what they did. Then, your parents moved here, years after the war, and the president knew they had to be protected."

Yugi's jaw dropped while Yami stayed silent. Yami wanted to be the one that was the target. Not because he wanted the attention, but because he didn't want Yugi to get hurt.

"So, how do we figure out what they did that was so important?" Yugi asked.

Ben thought for a moment. "Well, to figure out what they did we will have to get dirty and break some minor rules."

"We are dealing with the government here," Yami joined in. "Are they really going to be minor?"

"No, more like major laws, but let's go for it!"

Yugi and Yami looked at each other. How did they get themselves into this mess?

"Wow, Jessie," Dedo said as they climbed into their car. "How did you take out all of those security guards?"

"It was easy," Jessie explained. "They aren't really as tough as they show themselves to be."

"Ok, but where is Yugi?" one of the two boys in the back asked.

"His car's still here," Dedo muttered.

"He's probably still in the museum," Jessie muttered. "But, we have to get out of here. The cops could be here at any moment."

"Hey," the other boy in the back spoke up, "wasn't there a blue mustang in the parking lot before?"

Dedo looked over at Jessie, who narrowed his eyes.

"Let's go," Jessie murmured.

Annime: Whatcha think?

Yugi: Please review!
