The very next day in the Wheeler household, Joey was in the kitchen (eating a large bowl of cereal, that is) the phone rang loudly, catching the blonde's attention from his food.
"Hello?"
"Hi Joey, it's me Yugi".
"Oh, hey pal, what's up?"
"Joey, I need to tell you something".
"What is it?"
"Well, how can I put this, well Joey I found out that Yami was kidnapped. A witness, which is his neighbor, saw everything".
"What?"
"We need to know where he is".
"Has the police been notified about this?"
"Yes Joey, they know and they are on the search. I already called Tristan, Tea and Duke".
"Oh god".
"We need to go help and find him Joey. I am scared of the kidnapper doing something ugly to Yami".
"Don't worry Yugi, Yami will be found safe and sound".
"Hopefully that happens before it's too late".
"What did the neighbor say?"
"Well he said that the kidnapper was wearing a black suit of some sort and was driving a large white van with a mask on his face".
"What are we waiting for? Let's start searching for that son of a bitch" Joey exclaimed.
"Okay, let's meet up at the Game Shop and start with the search from there Joey".
"Okay Yugi, see you there in a flash".
"Bye".
"Bye Yugi" answered Joey before hanging up the phone with anger.
"Of all people, Yami gets kidnapped".
12 minutes later, Tristan and Tea were at the Game Shop, waiting for Joey to arrive and quickly they see their friend running towards the small building.
"So, where do we start Yugi?" Tea asks with worry in her voice.
"Okay, we need to split up so that we could have a better chance of finding him quickly" Yugi replies.
"Okay Yugi, the sooner we start, the quicker we find our friend" Tristan answered him.
"Let's go" Yugi replied and all four friends left the Game Shop and went their separate ways/
-While in the kidnapper's home 10 miles away-
Mark, who was currently watching Yami (he is unconscious), is watching television when he dryly comments to himself, "This poor bastard won't know what hit him next".
He then proceeded to his restroom located upstairs in the 2nd floor and grabbed a small knife and came down.
Kneeling down next to Yami, he began cutting small cuts down his arms.
Feeling pain, Yami suddenly woke up and gazed around his surrounding before landing on the man before him and down his freshly cut bruises on his arms.
Panic ran in his veins, he started to cry in agony.
"Wh-who a-a-are you?" Yami asks the mentally ill man.
With an evil grin on his face, Mark answers, "I want you as my bitch. I want to see you dead".
"D-dead? But why?"
"Because I enjoy inflicting pain into my victims. Pain is my pleasure. I get excitement when they are in agony, blood is my drug and you are my poison".
"You're fucking crazy. Get away from me, let me leave".
"NO, I will not allow it".
"You will get captured".
"Like I said, I will not allow it".
Mark then slaps Yami hard in the face, leaving a red handprint in his left cheek.
Stinging in pain, Yami looks at the man with a cold stare.
"You're not scaring me with that look" Mark tells him dryly.
"You will soon be scared" Yami answers him.
"Try me".
"I won't but the police will".
"You think the police will be able to get to me and you?"
"You're implying to keep me capture in your filthy hands?"
"Yes, because I am going to have so much fun with you".
Mark kicked Yami right in the groin, and Yami bends over in pain.
He then feels blood in his privates from the hit.
"You son of a bitch" Yami scream in agony and from anger.
"This is the beginning of your torture" Mark advised Yami before leaving him alone.
