Chapter Twenty-Four


After dinner, when Seto and Joey was outside talking, and Mokie was in the kitchen with Helga, Roland went to the den and called Bubba, “I want you to get the men and take the late flight out of Domino tonight.

I left tickets at the desk, that way Joseph and Brownie won’t have to be on the same flight, Brownie really made Joseph angry, so I don’t want another confrontation between them if I can help it.”

Bubba laughed and said, “Alright, I’ll make sure that we’re all on the flight, you let me know when your flight lands and I’ll be there to pick up you, Joseph and the woman.”

Roland said, “Alright I’ll let you know and Bubba be careful, I don’t know if anyone knows that we’re coming, just be careful.” Bubba said, “You got it, and Ro, you be careful too.”

Now Roland had to tell Joseph about tomorrow and that Odeon would be coming with them, and that he would be binding Shadow to himself so that she wouldn’t be able to try to get away.

When Seto and Joey were out in the garden, Seto said, “I really don’t like the idea of you going to New York, I guess I’m afraid that something will happen to you.”

Joey smiled at him and said, “Hell I don’t want to go, but I owe it to Saber and Shadow to find the person who called the Police and got Saber put into prison and eventually caused his death.”

Seto then said, “When you and dad get back, we need to talk.”

Joey smiled at him and said, “I agree, we do have to talk, but right now I can’t think about us, I have to get Shadow to America and help her find the real killer of her brother; I hope that you can understand.”

Seto smiled at him and he said, “I do understand, but it doesn’t make it any easier knowing that you’re going. I guess we’d better get inside before dad comes looking for us.” Then they walked back inside about the same time Roland walked into the living room.

Roland said, “Joseph we need to talk.” Seto stood beside Joey and he looked at his dad and said, “I’m not leaving, so why don’t you say what you need to say.”

Roland raised one eyebrow and he chuckled and said, “Son, do you really want to hear this, it could get a little dicey.”

Seto then said, “I’m still not leaving.” Roland said, “Both of you sit down, now Joseph tomorrow morning you and I are going to drive over to the Ishtar’s and pick up Shadow, but she not coming alone, Odeon’s coming too.”

Joseph got agitated and said, “Why does he have to come.” Roland held up his hand and said, “Settle down and I’ll tell you, Odeon is coming because we have to have someway of making sure that Shadow won’t try to get away.”

Joseph said, “I can understand that, but why is Odeon coming, hell I can get Shadow to give me her word that she won’t try anything.”

Roland then said, “Well I can’t be that trusting, so Odeon is going to use a binding spell to bind her to him, that way if she tries anything he can stop her.”

Joseph was really getting agitated now, he stood up and walked around the room, and then he stopped and said, “What’s to keep Odeon from trying to do something to Shadow when we’re not around?”

Roland stood up and faced Joseph and he said, “That’s where me and my men come in, you see Bubba and Rio, they both have the power to read minds and if Odeon tries to shut them out, well I’ve already given orders if that happens, they are to kill him.”

Seto went over to where Joey was and he said, “Listen to dad, he won’t let anyone touch her, please just do as dad asks.” Joey turned to face Seto and he said, “Alright for you I’ll try, but as god is my witness, if Odeon tries anything, I’ll cut his damn throat myself and there won’t be anyone who can stop me.”

Roland walked over to them, he held out his hand to Joseph, and as they shook, Roland said, “Alright, now that we’ve got that out of the way, I suggest that we all get to bed early, I want to be out of here before the sun rises.”

About then Mokie and Helga walked into the room and Mokie said, “Joey you be careful and come back home to us.” Then he ran over and Seto and Joey held Mokuba in their arms.

Helga then walked over to her brother and she said, “Same thing about you, if you don’t come home in one piece, I’ll kick your no good for nothing ass, do you hear me.”

Roland laughed and gave her a big hug and kissed her cheek and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be alright, hell I have the men and Joseph to make sure of that.”

Joey looked at everyone in that room and he said, “I’m so glad to belong to this family, if it weren’t for all of you, I’d probably of just given up and not tried at all.”

Seto pulled Joey into his arms and kissed him right there in from of the others and Mokie said, “Wow, I think their in love.” Helga laughed and said, “I guess you’re right, but if I were you I wouldn’t tease either of them, they might just kick your butt.”

Everyone laughed then and Roland said, “Everyone needs to get to bed, tomorrow is going to come around sooner then we think.” So as the boys walked upstairs, Roland stood there looking out the window and Helga said, “Everything will be alright.”

Roland put his arm around her and said, “I know, but something still doesn’t feel right about all of this, I just wish I knew more about the situation.”

Helga knew her brother and if he was uncertain, then something might happen and that really bothered her, she then said, “You just be damn sure to watch your back and Ro, make sure that you, the men and especially Joseph.”

Roland gave her a hug and kissed her cheek and then they walked to their rooms to get some sleep, as he lay on the bed, Roland just couldn’t shake the feeling that they were walking into a hornets nest and that scared the hell out of him.

The next morning before dawn, everyone was up and Helga had made breakfast, then after they had eaten, Roland said, “We’d better get going, I don’t want to miss our flight.”

So both Roland and Joseph said good-bye to everyone, then they got into Roland’s car, and he drove over to the Ishtar’s to pick up Odeon and Shadow, then he would drive to the airport. When they got to the Ishtar’s they got out and Roland knocked on the door and Ishizu answered it and said, “Please come in.”

Joseph then said, “I want to talk to Shadow before Odeon puts her under that spell.” Ishizu smiled at him and turned to Roland and said, “Please take Joseph down to the basement, Odeon will let you in.”

When Odeon opened the door, he was surprised to see Joseph standing there, Joseph said, “I want to talk to Shadow before you do anything.”

Odeon bowed his head, then Joseph walked over to where Shadow was sitting and he said, “Are you alright with what’s going to happen?”

Shadow smiled at him and said, “If this is the only way that I can find out who was the one who turned my brother over to the Police, then yes, I’m alright with it.” Joey nodded his head and then he turned to Odeon and said, “Alright, do what you have to, but I won’t be here to witness it, I’m going upstairs to wait.”

Ishizu smiled as Joseph walked back into the room and she asked him, “How are you hands?” He sat down on the couch and showed her that he could make a fist and then he said, “My doctor says that in another month my fingers will be completely healed.”

She smiled and said, “I’m glad, when they told me what happened, I wanted to have Marik send that woman to the shadow realm, but then what Odeon said make me change my mind, he said, it should be up to Joseph what happens and now I agree.

I hope that after all of this that that young lady can find some peace with all that she’s done, and that you will be able to find the one that you love.”

Joseph blushed and she laughed and said, “I have a feeling that that person is Seto Kaiba, am I right?” Joseph nodded his head and she said, “I pray that you both will live a very long life together.” Joseph said, “Thanks.”

Then Odeon came up the stairs with Shadow and Roland and Roland said, “Joseph we have to leave.” Odeon kissed Ishizu’s cheek and then they left and got into the car and Roland drove to the airport.
