Chapter Fifteen


At the Manor:

That evening after dinner, Paul was in his room reviewing the taped sessions, when he noticed something that scared the living hell out of him, as he watched Joseph's face through out the questioning, he saw a slight change in Joseph's expression, an almost demonic change.

Paul turned off the tape and he went downstairs to the living room, there he found Roland, Matthew, Daniel and James, they were playing poker. Paul walked over to where they were and he said, “I need your help, can all of you come up to my room, there's something I want to show you.”

So the five of them walked upstairs to Paul's room, he closed and locked his bedroom door, then he walked over and as he stood beside the television, he said, “I want to play some of the session, can you tell me what you see that's different?”

When he pushed the play button, the other men watched and then Daniel said, “My god, it's almost like there's two different personalities lying in that bed.” Paul then said, “So I wasn't seeing things, now comes the hard part, separating those two from each other, without destroying either of them.”

After Paul turned of the video, Roland said, “It's almost like the two sides are fighting against each other, god, Paul what in the hell are you going to do?”

Paul then said, “There was only one other time that this happened, and you know what I had to do, only this time it's going to be twice as hard, I'll need all the help I can get, if I'm going to bring these two sides together without one trying to destroy the other.”

Matthew then said, “James is the strongest of all of us, he can assist you if you'll let him.” Paul looked at James and he said, “What kind of training have you had in cases like this on?”

James said, “Once and only once I helped a Dr. Kenneth Dauber bring a young man from the brink of madness, it was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but if you need me to help then I'll do it.”

Paul knew of this Dr. Dauber, he was the one who pioneered the way for Psychiatrists to hypnotize certain patients in order to bring out the horrible things that were tormenting the patients and then he was able to give them back their lives.

Paul then said, “I could use your help, if Joseph's mind has separated then he'll be twice as hard to bring the two sides back together so that his mind can become one and then eventually he'll heal and hopefully Joseph won't have any side effects.

Roland got up and walked over and stood looking out the window, Paul then said, “Ro, what's bothering you?”

Roland turned around and looked at the others and said, “When that bastard did those things to Seto and I thought that I was going to lose him, it nearly destroyed me, now this is happening to someone else that I care about, god, I don't know how much more I can take.”

Paul went over and stood beside this man who was one of his dearest friends and he said, “I can only promise to do my damnest to bring Joseph back, but I'm going to need your support as well as the rest of you, but if it gets to much for any of you, tell me now.”

Roland then said, “I'll be there tomorrow and everyday that you need me, I can't give up on helping Joseph, I know that you'll do your best to bring him back and giving him his life back.”

Matthew stood up and said, “We're all here to help, all you have to do is to ask.” Paul looked at these men and he said, “Thanks that means the world to me knowing that I'm not going through this alone, and if I need anyone else's help I'll ask.”

That evening after everyone had gone to bed, Seto had a dream, in the dream Joey was calling out to him for help, “Seto, where are you, I'm scared, please help me.”

All of a sudden, Seto sat up, he was covered with sweat and his heart felt like it could burst. Tears ran down his face, he got up and ran, downstairs to Roland’s room, he knocked on the door, and as he waited, he tried to get himself under control.

When Roland opened the door, Seto said, “Dad, help.” Then he passed out, Roland caught him before he hit the floor. Roland carried Seto over, laid him on the bed, went, got a damp cloth, and put it on Seto's forehead.

Seto opened his eyes and when he saw Roland standing over him he reached up and grabbed hold of this man who was so much like a father to him and Mokie and he sobbed, “Joey came to me in a dream, he's begging for me to come get him, please tell me how do I help him?”

Roland held Seto and he softly said, “Son, I don't have any answers for you. Paul's doing all he can to help Joseph, I don't know what else any of us can do.”

Seto then said, “When you and Paul go back to see Joey, I want to come too, maybe I can help, I just can't sit on my ass and do nothing, please let me go.”

Roland then said, “I'll talk to Paul in the morning, if he says that you can go, I'll come and let you know, but listen to me, Mokie can never know what's going on, he's too young to deal with what's happening.”

Seto held onto Roland like someone holds onto a life preserver and he said, “I love you, it was your love that helped me come back and I know that it'll be that love that will help Joey come back.”

Seto took the tissue and wiped the tears from his face, and then Roland walked him back upstairs to his room, when they got to Seto's bedroom.

Roland looked down into the face of this young man who was more like his son and he said, “I'll do everything that I can to help bring Joseph back, and I'll talk to Paul in the morning.”

Seto gave him a hug and kissed him, and then as Seto closed his bedroom door, Roland stood outside and just fell apart.

As he walked back downstairs, he could barely see through the tears, he prayed that tomorrow would be the day that they could break through the barriers around Joseph's mind and help him deal with what ever his sub-conscience was trying to keep from him.

Roland went to talk to Paul, when Paul opened his door, Roland said, “Seto had a dream last night, Joseph came to him and begged him to help bring him home.”

Paul let in and then he asked, “Do you think that he's strong enough to come with us when I talk to Joseph in the morning?”

Roland then said, “I don't know, all I do know is that he wants to be there, it seems that somehow they are connected and if that connection is broken what would that do to both of them?”

Paul then said, “Alright, in the morning have him come with is, I'll ask Daniel or Matthew come too. If it gets too hard on Seto then either of them can get him out of the room.”

Roland then said, “Thanks for letting Seto come, I know that it's a rather unorthodox thing to ask, but then when have you ever taken the easy road when you are trying to help someone.”

In the morning, Roland went to Seto's room and he said, “After breakfast, be ready to leave, Paul said that you could come, but if it gets too much for you, either Daniel or Matthew will get you out of the room.”

Seto hugged Roland and then he went to take a shower, get changed and go downstairs to have breakfast. After everyone was through eating, Roland took Greta aside and told her.

“Seto's coming with us, now before you blow a gasket let me tell you why, last night Seto had a dream that Joseph came to him and begged Seto to help him get home, if I don't let him come, it'll eat away at him and do more damage then allowing him to come today.”

After hearing what Roland had to say, she drew back in her horns and she said, “I'll make sure that Mokie is kept busy, Ro you had better take care not to let anything happen to either of our boys.

Yes I did say our boys, I believe that Joseph was brought to us to not only make him better, but so that we could give him the love he never got from his own father.”

Roland smiled down at her then he gave her a kiss and hug and then he turned around and said, “We'd better leave.”
