Chapter Eight


Roland got a call from Solomon and he said “Valon called from New York and said that he, Alister and Raphael found Tristan beaten up and that the men who did it were hired by Joey's father and when they went to out where these men were, they went to find the ones were dead and there was a note saying that Wheeler was going to do what the others couldn't.”

Roland thanked him for calling and he said “Well even if he does get here, he'll have a hell of a time finding Joey because as of now Joey no longer exists.”

Solomon smiled as he heard this and then he said “I'll let Yami and the others know about whats happening and just maybe we can stop that bastard from trying to do anything to his son.”

When Roland hung up the phone he went to find Seto and Jacob and when he told them about the phone call from Solomon well Jacob started freaking out and if it weren't for Seto well he'd probably would have ran and never stopped. Seto took hold of Jacob's/Joey's hand and he said “We'll face this together and there isn't anything that we can't do as long as you stay here and fight.”

Jacob/Joey then said “I'll stay but if that monster tries to hurt anyone that I love I'll kill him myself.”

At the Airport in Domino:

A man got off the plane and as he walked through the terminal, he he took out his cell phone and he dialed a number and when the person on the other end answered Joey's father said “I'm here in Domino, where is that no good for nothing piece of shit that calls himself my son?”

The person on the phone told him “He was here, but then it was as if he just disappeared because we can't find him anywhere and we've searched everywhere.”

Frank Wheeler then said “If he did leave then there has to be record of him getting a ticket so call every airline and find out. If you can't find any record then that means that he's still here and someone is hiding him or he has altered his appearance.”

The person on the other end of the phone told him “I'll get on it and get back to you as soon as we've found out anything.”

Frank then hailed a taxi and went to the nearest Hotel and checked in and he went to his room and rested. He would go out later and just start talking to people and maybe he would find out where his son went.

When the Jet landed at the Domino Airport Valon, Alister and Raphael got off and there was a limo waiting for them and as they got inside the driver automatically drove to the Manor where Roland was waiting to talk to them.

When they got out of the limo, Roland was there waiting and as they climbed the stairs to the front door Roland said “We need to talk, lets go inside.”

As they went to the den and Roland closed the doors he said “Here is a picture that Jacob had of his father and I've given each of the security guards and now all we have to wait for that bastard to show his face, I've doubled the amount of security guards around the Manor.”

Valon then said “I want you to let us deal with Wheeler, Tristan is our friend and he and Joey are friends so this makes it personal and well I want to see that bastards face when he's begging us not to kill him. That bastard nearly killed Tristan when he paid three men to get the information from him and when we went to where they were that monster had killed them all because they found out what he wanted and they weren't worth anything after that.”

Roland looked at Valon and he said “Alright but I want to be kept informed when that bastard is killed.”

Valon agreed with this and then he said “Could we please see Joey?”

Roland told them “Joey no longer exists, his name now is Jacob.” He then took them outside where Jacob/Joey and Seto were talking and when Jacob saw them he wanted to run but Seto grabbed his hand and Jacob/Joey settled down and as Valon walked over to them he said “Tristan called us and and us to try to help you.”

Jacob/Joey asked him “Where's Tristan now?”

Valon told him the truth and that's when Jacob/Joey lost it and he started crying and as he looked into Seto's eyes he said “That bastard isn't going to stop till he finds me and he'll do anything to get me. I won't let anyone else whom I love get hurt so I'm going to leave here and when I'm far enough away I'll let him know who I am and just maybe he'll follow me and leave all of you alone.”

Alister then said “If you think that if you leave that your father is going to just leave everyone alone then you're kidding yourself because he is a very desperate man and if he thinks that anyone whom you love is in the way then he'll do what he has to just to keep them from getting in the way. This has to end here and now and I'll promise you that your father is going to die for what he did to Tristan and to you, so please stay here and don't do anything to draw attention to where you are or who you've become.”

Jacob/Joey then asked them “When you find that bastard make him pay for what he did to Tristan and me.”

Valon then said “We will and please don't leave this place no matter what you hear. Your father is getting desperate and he'll do anything to get you to let your guard down, so please be careful.” Then they left and went to find Wheeler.

Valon, Raphael and Alister went to talk to Solomon and as they were talking Yami came up with an idea. “Why don't we put the word on the street that Joey Wheeler was seen going walking near the pier where he went into one of the warehouses there, that way when his father comes to find him you could apprehend him and stop him from completely what he came here to do?”

Alister then said “I'm the same size as Jacob/Joey is so why can't I pretend to be him and lure his father out into the open and when he makes his move then we can grab him and well then we can have our fun teaching him that it isn't nice to do what he did.”

Yami then asked him “You don't sound like Jacob/Joey so how are you suppose to convince him that you're his son?”

Alister then said “I can impersonate anyone's voice so when Wheeler enters the warehouse he'll never know that he's not talking to his son.”

Solomon then said “We have to get the word out where Jacob/Joey was seen and pray that his father buys into our plan and that he doesn't think it's a trap of some kind.”

Just then the phone rang and when Solomon answered it he sat down so that he wouldn't fall down. When he hung up the phone he said “That was Bakura and he said that he and Ryou saw Jacob's/Joey's father talking to someone near the Hotel where he's staying and that person is Bandit Keith and with him was two of his thugs, so now we not only have Mr. Wheeler to deal with we also have to stop Keith and those two thugs of his.”

Valon then said “We'd better get busy, after we take care of Mr. Wheeler then we can deal with Keith and his thugs. Solomon call and tell Roland about Keith and those men so that he can make sure that none of them gets near the Manor.”

Solomon picked up the phone and as he was talking to Roland he nodded his head and then he said “Alright I'll let them know and thanks.”

Solomon then hung up the phone and he then said “Roland just told me that Keith and those men have already been dealt, the Yami's took them to the Shadow Realm and well lets just say that they aren't back yet. So all you three have to do is take out that bastard and make sure that he never touches his son ever again.”

Valon, Alister and Raphael then left to go to the warehouse and get things ready for when Jacob/Joey's father comes to take kill his son. So after they left, Yami called Bakura and said “Pass the word on the streets that Joey has been seen at the warehouse and then hope that he takes the bait and that he goes there so that he will be taken care of once and for all.”

So all Valon, Raphael and Alister had to do was wait and see if Frank Wheeler would come to get his son....
