Chapter 14
Yugi and Yami gasped in amazement at the sight that lay before them.
There were bookshelves as far as the eye could see.
"Why are there so many?" Yugi whispered.
"Oh, because they have regular books here, too," Ben replied. "But there are a lot of books from different countries here as well."
"So, how do we find what we are looking for?" Yami asked.
Ben smiled. "We are lucky that I worked with this case before, so I know where the files are." Ben used his hand to motion for them to follow him. The two boys did as Ben silently said to, and they traveled through the jungle of bookshelves.
"Jessie, where do you think they are?" Dedo asked. Jessie growled as he thought about where their target might be. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't notice the blue mustang in the library's parking lot as he drove by.
"We are almost there, just be patient with me."
Yugi and Yami didn't really know what Ben was talking about, because they weren't complaining.
Ben suddenly stopped and turned to his right. He looked at all the books on the shelf that was his height.
Yugi and Yami were silent as Ben pulled out one of the books.
"The Muto and Mellta family feud," Ben mumbled as he began to read the book. "Well, we are checking this out and getting out of here."
"And why is that?" Yami asked.
"Because, at some point they are going to notice someone's in here. And if we get caught, we are in big trouble." Ben led then to the end of the shelf and turned left. Apparently, the huge secret room was longer than it was wider, so they were able to see an exit straight ahead. "Come on, start running," Ben said. He sped into a dash towards the door, making Yugi and Yami speed up with him. Once Ben reached the door, he pressed in the security code and the door automatically opened. "Come on, we don't have all day!" Yugi and Yami quickly went outside with Ben following them. Yugi turned and saw the door disappear behind a wall.
"Yugi, come on!" Yami called. Yugi turned and raced for the blue mustang and Ben pressed on the gas. Yugi flew against Yami and the door shut as Ben drove out of the driveway in record speed.
"Was that…completely necessary?" Yugi asked while he tried to catch his breath.
"No, I just always wanted to do something like that." Ben laughed as he heard the two boys in the back groan. "What? You have to admit that is was fun."
Yugi rolled his eyes. 'I don't know what I would like more, finding answers or going home,' he thought.
Yami looked over at Yugi and the door on the younger's side of the car. "You could have gotten Yugi killed!"
"No," Ben replied. "He was fine. If he was in too much danger I would have slowed down."
Yami scowled but held onto Yugi in silence. Yugi knew Yami was scared for him, so he whispered soothing things into the elder's ear.
"Well, read this while I drive, Yugi." Ben tossed back the book and Yugi caught it. "Now, go all the way to the back and read the last sentence."
Yugi looked at Ben puzzled, but did so anyway.
"It says: The rest can be found in the apple of America's eye." Yugi tilted his head in confusion and looked back up at Ben. "Do you think it means New York City?"
Ben's eyes shot to Yugi in the rearview mirror. "It has to! New York City, here we come!"
Yugi and Yami looked at each other. They were just getting deeper into something that they weren't sure was a trap or not.
"Jessie, did you notice the blue mustang in the library parking lot we passed a half an hour ago?" one of the boys in the back of the car asked. Dedo continued to look forward, but his eyes widened in fear at what Jessie would do.
"Ok, you saw a blue mustang, but you didn't tell me?" Jessie barked.
"Well, you didn't say anything so I thought it wasn't important."
Jessie gripped the wheel and turned it car around quickly, scaring the carp out of Dedo! They were in the middle of a busy intersection causing everyone's attention to go to them. Oh, and to top it all off, the police were still looking for them while they did this. Jessie sped through the traffic back towards the library.
"Wow," Ben said as he watched a car do a one-ninety in the middle of the intersection ahead. "That guy's got to be somewhere soon if he's going that fast."
Yugi and Yami weren't listening as they read the book about Yugi's ancestry.
"It says here that my family came over for a short time during the American Revolution to fight. My dad's side fought with the British while my mom's side fought against them. Both sides were very rich and they gave a lot of money to the side they were on. Oh, wow, there it says my great, great, great grandfather shook hands with George Washington!"
Yami listened with a smile as Yugi read to him what the book said. Yami didn't know what to think of Ben yet, but he would accept him if Yugi was happy.
Ben continued to drive until he finally reached the highway. He paused and then joined the other cars that were moving towards New York. He knew he could get in a lot of trouble for what he was doing, but he all so knew that Jessie wasn't the smartest or highest of the Muto's. He had to be sent by someone else to do this job. And even if Jessie did not know it now, Ben knew that Jessie was only a distraction so someone else could get want they wanted.
Annime: Yugi, what's wrong with having Allblic here?
Yugi: If I have to deal with Allblic in the other story, then I don't want to have to deal with him here.
Annime: Ok, bye, Allblic!
Allblic: (Pouts as he leaves.)
Kristy: Please review!
