Chapter Twenty-Three


Roland dropped the boys off at the Game Shop and he told them, “I have something to do; I’ll be back in an hour.” After he was gone, Joey opened he door and as they walked in, Solomon greeted them, “It’s good to see all of you again, Yugi and the others are in the house, go on in.”

Roland drove over to the Ishtar’s, he wanted to talk to Ishizu and Odeon and let them know what was going on. Odeon opened the door and he said, “Come on in, Ishizu is in the living room.”

When they walked in, Ishizu put down the book, she was reading and said, “Welcome, what can we do for you?”

Roland sat down and he said, “Tomorrow, Joseph and I are going to be taking Shadow to New York, Joseph wants her to face the person who really is responsible for her brothers death.”

Odeon then said, “Isn’t that dangerous for all of you to go back there?” Roland said, “Yes, in a way I agree, but I have some men who are coming with us, plus Joseph knows a couple people there that are willing to help too.”

Ishizu then said, “Have you told that young lady about what Joseph wants to do?” Roland told her, “Yes, and at first she didn’t believe him, but by the time we were ready to leave, she agreed to do what Joseph asked.”

“Can you trust her?” Odeon asked. Roland chuckled and said, “I trust her like I’d trust a snake, but Joseph he thinks that she’ll do what he needs her to do.”

Ishizu then said, “Do you need Odeon or Bakura to come with you to keep her in line?” Roland then said, “That’s what I’m here for, Odeon would you accompany us to New York, I don’t trust her at all.”

Odeon said, “Yes, I’ll come, but Joseph needs to know that I will have her bound to me with shadow magic and that I won’t let her go until you tell me to.”

Roland held out his hand and when Odeon shook it, Roland said, “You leave Joseph to me, just make sure that Shadow can’t try anything, because if she does, I’ll kill her myself.”

Ishizu then said, “She’ll be ready in the morning, just come here on your way to the airport, Odeon will have completed the spell to bind her to himself by then.” Roland thanked them and after he left there, he drove to the Game Shop.

When the bell rang, Solomon walked into the shop to see who it was and when he saw Roland he held out his hand and said, “It’s good to see you again; Joseph and the others are in the other room.”

Roland then said, “I need a favor, while Joseph and I are gone, will you please keep an eye on both Seto and Mokuba, you see Seto and Joey have become closer since the accident and well Seto wants to come with us, but it’s just to dangerous and I need him to stay home.”

Solomon then said, “You know I will and I’ll tell Yugi and Yami to let the others know and they will help keep Seto occupied until you both come home.”

Back at the Manor:

While Roland and the boys were gone, Helga decided to take a break, she was reading one of her romance books when there was a knock on the door, she got up and when she opened the door, there stood Brownie with a big goofy smile on his face, and he said, “Hello beautiful, lovely day isn’t it.”

Helga just stood there, then she said, “What do you want?” (What Brownie didn’t know was that Helga had her cell phone in her pocket and she had pushed the button to let Roland know that she needed him.)

Brownie said, “Why to see you, but I don’t think that you’re happy to see me, I can’t figure out what I did to make you feel like this?”

At the Game Shop:

Roland’s cell phone went off and when he took it out of his pocket, he saw that Helga was calling and that she was in trouble, he said, “I have to go; please let the boys know that I’ll be back later.”

Just then, Seto, Joseph and Mokie came out to see if Roland had come, when they heard the urgency in his voice, Seto said, “Dad, we’re coming with you.” Roland nodded his head and said, “Let’s go.”

When they got to the Manor, Roland said, “I’m going in first, and I want you boys to stay out here until I let you know that it’s safe to come in.” Then he cautiously entered the door.

As he made his way through to the living room, he heard Helga’s voice, she was saying, “Brownie you need to leave, Roland not’s here right now.”

Brownie then said, “Don’t worry about Ro, I’m not doing anything wrong, I just came here to talk to you that’s all.”

Helga then said, “I don’t want to talk to you, when you left you made it crystal clear that you didn’t want any real relationship, that all you wanted was a good time, so I want you to get the hell out of here, before I do something I promised myself I’d never do.”

Brownie chuckled and asked, “And what’s that?”

Helga walked over to the couch and sat down, then she reached for a hidden drawer and as she pulled it out, she pulled out a small handgun and pointed it at him and said, “Get out or I swear I’ll shoot you where you stand.”

Brownie laughed and said, “And what’s to stop me from taking that gun from you, there’s no one here to stop me.”

“I wouldn’t count on that, if you move I’ll shoot you and you know that you have no chance of stopping me.” Roland said with malice.”

Brownie stood perfectly still and then he said, “Ro, what’s going on?” Roland laughed and said, “Well I’m here to make sure that my sister is left alone, and in turn to stop you from getting your ass blown off, you see, I taught Helga to shoot and she’s damn good.”

About that time they all heard, “I wonder what’s going on in there?” Helga chuckled and she got up and went over to the doorway and she said, “Your dad stopped the bad man from doing something stupid, now where are you boys suppose to be?”

Joseph said, “We were suppose to stay outside, but I wasn’t going to let some slime ball hurt you, we’re family and families always sticks together.”

“Slime ball, is that what that punk called me?” Brownie asked. From behind the boys they heard, “Well the kid knows a slime ball when he sees one.” Bubba said. Ro, why didn’t you call and let me know that Brownie was in town, hell I want to get my hands on him, I want to squish him like a pimple for what he did to my cousin.”

Roland threw his head back and he laughed and said, “Brownie, what in the hell have you been up to.” Brownie said, “Hell it’s not my fault that the ladies love me now can I.”

Helga laughed and said, “Ladies, is that what their calling themselves now.” Roland said, “Sis, there are young men here, please shut the hell up.”

She blew him a kiss and said, “Get this piece of human shit out of my house; I can’t stand the smell anymore.” Bubba and Roland both started laughing until they had tears in their eyes and then Roland said, “Alright, you heard Helga, get the hell out and if I ever see you back here, well they won’t ever find your body, and that’s not a threat that’s a promise.”

After Roland, Bubba and Brownie left the Manor, Helga turned to the boys and said, “I want to make myself perfectly clear, if any one of you ever do anything like this again and disobey Roland, I’ll beat your asses until none of you will be able to sit down, is that clear?”

Joseph then said, “It was my fault that Seto and Mokie got into trouble, but I wasn’t going to let anyone hurt you again, you see I’ve seen to many women hurt because some so called man thinks it’s alright to hit them, that wasn’t going to happen to you, ever.”

Helga went over and gave Joseph a hug and said, “I can understand why you did that, but I mean what I said, do that again and your ass will be so sore that you’ll wish that you had of listened to what Roland told you.”

Then Joseph, Seto and Mokuba all said, “We understand, and we promise not to ever disobey anyone ever again.”

Bubba, Roland and Brownie were outside when Roland said, “You’re lucky that I didn’t get there first, I would of shot your ass just for being stupid, now get the hell out of here and I’ll call you later and let you know when we’re ready to leave.”

Bubba and Brownie got into Bubba’s truck and they drove off, Roland stood there and he went back inside to deal with the boys, but he heard what his sister was saying and he decided that she’d read them the riot act, so he just went over and sat down.

Joseph, Seto and Mokie walked over to where he was sitting and Seto said, “Dad, we’re sorry for not doing what you told us, we just couldn’t wait, what if you needed any help, who would you call for help?”

Roland looked over their heads at his sister, who was smiling and he said, “Alright just this one time I’ll not punish any of you, but next time you don’t do what I say, I’ll make all you wish you had, now go get something to drink, I need to talk to your Aunt.”

Helga went over and sat down beside him and said, “They meant well, if any of them could have done any damage it would have been Joseph, he really hates men who hurt women.” Roland put his arm around her and said, “I know, well I don’t think you’ll be seeing Brownie around here anymore, now what’s for dinner.”

Helga reached for a pillow to hit him with, and then she started laughing and said, “Well what are you and the boys going to cook, I’m so shook up after that, I just couldn’t cook.”
