Mokuba's Secret

Chapter Seventeen

Seto stood outside the Office and he started shaking. How was he going to be able to imagine not having Mokuba in his life? He reached for his phone and called Ethan.

Seto wiped the tears from his eyes and he called Ethan and as he talked, Ethan could tell that Seto was about to lose it. He told Shawn, “I’ve got to go and tonight we’re staying home, Seto’s on the verge of a total break down, and Shawn please call Roland.”

Ethan drove to town and as he pulled up outside the Office, he saw Seto standing next to the building as if he were using it as support. Ethan got out of the car and slowly walked over to Seto and he said, “Let’s go home.”

Seto walked to the car as if he were in some kind of trance and as Ethan drove home, on the drive home Seto didn’t say a word.


Back in Domino:

Mokuba and Joey were over at the Manor having lunch with Roland, when the phone rang.

When Roland answered it, he heard Shawn’s voice and he knew that something had happened.

“When Seto called to tell Ethan that he was ready to come home, Ethan heard panic in his voice.” Shawn said.

Roland told Shawn, “Let Ethan know that I’m on my way and I’ll be there in two hours.”

Mokuba and Joey knew that it was about Seto and Mokie asked Roland, “What’s wrong?”

“That was Shawn and Ethan’s afraid that something is wrong with Seto. He had his first session with Dr. Maxwell and Ethan’s worried about him. I’m going to call and have Dustin get the jet ready and I want you two to stay here, I’ll let you know what’s going on when I get there.” Roland said.

Joey put his arm around Mokuba and after Roland was through, Mokuba went over to him and he said, “Please make sure that my brother’s going to be alright.”

Roland held Mokuba and he said, “I will.” Then Roland called Dustin and told him, “Make sure that the jet is fueled, I need to get to Tokyo as soon as possible.”

Roland ran to his room and packed a small bag and by the time he was through, Dustin called and told him, “The jets ready.”

Mokuba and Joey walked Roland outside and as he got into the limo, Mokuba said, “Tell Seto that we love him and please be careful.”

Roland gave Mokie a hug and shook hands with Joey and then he got into the limo and the driver drove to the small airstrip just off the Manor and as they watched, the jet took off and Mokuba said, “Please let my brother be alright.”


Back in Tokyo:

Ethan drove up the house and as they walked inside, Shawn and the kids were upstairs where they were doing some of their reading.

Ethan had to help Seto into the living room and as he sat down, Seto looked at him and he said, “How do I imagine my life without my brother?” Then he just fell apart.

Shawn came downstairs to see how Seto was, and he found Ethan holding him in his arms and Shawn knew that something had triggered this episode and if Roland didn’t get here soon, well Seto just might lose touch with reality all together.

Ethan and Shawn got Seto to his room and Ethan said, “Stay here with him; I have to call Roland and find out when he’s going to be here.”

Ethan went back to the living room and as he called Roland, Kelly and Kyle came downstairs and they asked him, “Papa what’s wrong?”

Ethan smiled at them and he said, “Seto isn’t feeling very well, so Uncle Roland is coming here to help take care of him.”

Kelly said, “Tell Seto that me and Kyle hope that he gets better.” Then they went back to their room.

Roland answered the phone and when he heard his brother’s voice, he knew that it was going to be real bad. “Roland, when are you getting here, Seto is just about to lose it.”

Roland said, “I’ll be there within the hour, I’m having our pilot get me there in a copter from the airport.”

Ethan then said, “I’m really scared, he’s acting like he’s lost everything, and can’t find a way to get it back.”

Dustin started the copter and as Roland buckled up, he took off, it was only twenty minutes, and he had landed not to far from Ethan and Shawn’s house. Roland thanked Dustin and said, “Take the copter back and get a room at the hotel there and I’ll let you know when I might need you, and Dustin thanks.”

Dustin shook hands with Roland and he said, “Take care of him; he’s like part of all of our families at the Manor.”

Roland then walked back to the house and as Shawn opened the door, Roland knew that just maybe this wasn’t such a good idea, having Seto talk to Peter, but hell he’s the best in his field.

Shawn showed Roland to Seto’s room and as he walked inside, Ethan stood up and the two brothers embraced and Ethan said, “Shawn and I are going to take the kids to the movies, please help him, he’s become part of our family too.”

After they left, Roland walked over to the bed, he sat down on the side, he touched Seto’s face, and he said, “I’m here; please tell me what’s wrong.”

Seto opened his eyes, there sat Roland, and Seto held out his arms like a little boy and Roland held him and he said, “Please tell me what happened today.”

Seto wiped his eyes and then he said, “When I went to see Dr. Maxwell, it seemed like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders, I told him about Gozaburo and all the hell I had to go through to keep Mokie safe from that bastard.

When it was time for me to go, Dr. Maxwell asked me to think about how my life would be without Mokie in it and well I think that maybe he said something else but I didn’t hear him. Roland, I can’t even try to imagine not having my brother in my life.”

Roland then softly said, “Listen to me, what Peter is trying to do, is to get you to try to see if you could live without Mokuba in your life, because you both aren’t really talking ever since Mokie told you that he was gay and that he and Joey were living together.”

“I really think that I need to talk to Mokuba and maybe then what Dr. Maxwell is trying to do might help. Please call him for me.” Seto asked.

Please R&R..
