Chapter Twenty


After everyone got out of the pool, they all enjoyed a great meal; there was lots of good food, and lots of laughter. When they were done eating, and everyone had gone home, Roland walked over to where Joseph was and he said, “I need to talk to you in private.”

They walked into the den and as Roland shut the door he said, “Lets sit down, this might take awhile.”

After Joseph sat down on the couch, Roland walked over to the desk and he took a key from his pocket and unlocked one of the drawers, he took out a folder, then went and sat down next to Joseph and he said, “I want you to read this, it might hold some of the answers you’ve been looking for.”

Joseph took the folder and as he opened it, he started reading what was inside, he looked at Roland and said, “Where did you get this?”

Roland told him, “I’ll answer your question, but first I want you to read everything that is in that folder.”

Joseph finished reading what was in the folder, and then he closed it and said, “Alright, as I asked before, where did you get this?”

Roland took the folder back and as he walked over to lock it up again, he said, “I have several friends in low places, and this information was obtained by one of them. This friend got this from the Police files that were locked away; no one ever knew that any of it existed.

It seems that not only did someone in the gang turn against this Saber; and someone in the Police Department helped. From what I can figure out, the Policeman that turned rouged had something on Gunner, and in order for him not to arrest him, he had to come up with a good sum of money and make sure that Saber was in the right place at the wrong time.”

Joseph got up and walked over to the window and as he looked out, he said, “Somehow I’ve got to get Shadow to read what is in that file and then find a way to get her back home and help her make sure that the other gang members know exactly what Gunner did, but how do I do that?”

Roland locked the drawer then he turned to look at Joseph and he said, “If this is what you really want to do, then leave it to me.

I can help get her back home and I’ll give her a copy of the report and I’ll even help her get the other members to listen to what she has to say.”

Joseph walked over to the desk and he held out his hand, when Roland shook it Joseph said, “I’m going to be coming too, I have to make sure that nothing happens to Shadow, even if she did try to make me pay for something she thought I did, she did it because she was lied to.”

Roland then said, “Alright, but you have to do exactly what I tell you or I swear you’ll regret ever coming.”

Joseph nodded that he understood, then he said, “Tomorrow I want to go talk to Shadow and let her read that report and tell her that soon we’ll be going back so that she could make the wrong that was done to Saber right.”

Roland then said, “Seto can’t know what we talked about, because I know that if he knows he’ll want to come with us and I can’t let that happen.”

Joseph said, “I agree, but will he understand when we get back, or will he think that I couldn’t trust him enough to let him know what was happening.”

Roland silently groaned then he said, “I can see what you mean, alright, we can let him know, but I will insist that he has to stay here to make sure that nothing happens to Mokuba.”

Joseph walked to the door, and as he reached for the knob he said, “We can talk to him after Mokie goes to bed, I just hope that you can convince him to stay here.”

Roland walked out of the den behind Joseph and he chuckled and said, “I have my ways of making him see my side of any argument, it’s my sister I have trouble with.”

They laughed as they both walked back to the living room, when they got there, Seto, Mokie and Helga were playing poker, and Helga was winning. Roland said, “You boys know that your Aunt is a card shark, hell she been know to beat the best at cards.”

Helga laughed and said, “They do now.” Seto stood up and walked over to Joey and he said, “What’s going on?” Roland then said, “Mokie I think it’s your bedtime isn’t it.”

Mokie knew that that meant that his dad needed to talk to either all of them and that it didn‘t concern him, so he got up, went around, and told every one goodnight and he walked up the stairs and went to bed.

Helga gathered the cards and put them back into the box and she said, “Do I have to leave the room too?” Roland shook his head no.

Roland then said, “What I’m about to say can’t leave this room ever, is that understood.” Seto and Helga knew that he meant business and they both nodded that they understood.

Then Roland said, “I got some information that showed that Shadow’s brother was turned in by his second in command and that someone in the New York’s Police Department had some thing to do with his death when he was sent to prison.”

Helga then asked, “What are you going to do with this information?”

Joseph then said, “Tomorrow we’re going to go talk to Shadow and I’m going to let her read what’s in that report, that way she’ll know exactly who was the real informant who turned her brother over to the authorities.”

Seto looked at Joey then he asked, “After she reads the report, then what.” Joey looked at him and he said, “I’ll have an answer for you after Shadow reads that report.”

Helga said, “Alright, I think that all of us should get a good nights sleep, tomorrow is going to be a really busy day, so I’ll say goodnight to all of you.” She then went to her room.

Roland said, “Helga’s right, we all need to get some sleep, I’ll see both of you in the morning.” They watched as he left the room, then Seto said, “I hope that you’re not thinking of helping Shadow get home, I couldn’t stand it if I lost you, I love you too much.”

Joey reached out and touched the side of Seto’s face and he said, “I love you too, and I don’t intend on getting hurt if I can help it, but I have to let Shadow know what happened to her brother, she deserves to know.”

Seto pulled Joey into his arms and kissed him and when he lifted his head he said, “Alright, I’ll stop being so worried, but if I think that you’re going to do something that could be harmful to you, I’ll do everything I can to stop you.”

Joey kissed Seto and he said, “Lets get some sleep, I’m tired.” Then they held hands and walked up the stairs. When they got to Joey’s room, Seto held him again and then as Joey opened his room, Seto smiled and said, “I’ll see you in the morning.” Then he walked down the hall to his room.

As Joey closed his door, he closed his eyes and said, “I hope that Roland can get Seto to realize that I have to do this, I have to help Shadow find the answers to the questions she needs answered.” Then he got ready and went to bed.

As Seto closed his bedroom door, he closed his eyes and prayed that tomorrow Joey would do anything that could result in him getting hurt again, he made promise to himself, “I’ll do whatever I have to make sure that nothing will happen to Joey, nothing.”

Roland sat on the side of his bed, he closed his eyes and softly said, “I hope that all works out, I swear that I will never allow anyone to hurt either Shadow or Joseph, no one.”
