Chapter Two: Things Start to Change
Yugi had been working for a while now at his desk. He noticed that it was nearing noon, and decided that he take Seto the reports that he had wanted. He pulled out several folders from a filing cabinet then made his way to the office next door. Just as he was about to knock someone behind him called his name.
"Yugi, wait up." Came the energetic voice.
"Oh, you're here! It is so good to see!"
"Same here. I can't wait to see Seto though. Is he expecting me?"
"Yes I told him this morning that a very important client wanted to meet with him at twelve."
"That's great! I bet he complained about missing his lunch, that he never eats." The client said with a slight smirk.
"Yeah he did. Stay here I was just about to take these to him. I will tell him that his client has arrived for the meeting. I might have a little fun with this."
"OK, but don't get him to upset. I don't want you to get fired."
"All right, I will be right back. This is going to be fun." Yugi gave him a smile before turning around.
Yugi knocked on the door, and waited to be called inside. He then walked inside careful to not let the client be seen.
"Ah Yugi, what can I do for you."
"Mr. Kaiba here are those reports you wanted, and your twelve-o-clock client is here."
"Do I really need to see this client? Why don't you just go cancel it, I am sure we can reschedule."
"Sorry sir, but no can do. You really need to meet with him, and I am afraid that this was the only time I could fit him in."
"Well I don't care, cancel it anyway. I have already had a horrible morning, and I am not in the mood for this. So please go and cancel this meeting." Seto growled out.
"Sir I don't think he will like you canceling so sudden."
"I do not care rather he likes it or not!"
"I understand Mr. Kaiba, but you see…" Yugi didn't get to finish as Seto cut him off.
"I said to go cancel, now! After you are done with that pack your things because you are fired!"
Yugi went back to the door where he opened it enough to talk through to the other person.
"Sir, I am afraid that Mr. Kaiba would like to reschedule your meeting."
"Oh, well I am sorry to hear about that. Please let me in to talk to Mr. Kaiba, I will personally handle this."
Seto, who had been listening to the conversation, began to grow angry from the client's words.
"Yugi let him in. I will deal with this good for nothing bastard…"
Seto was cut off as the client walked into the office. He had a smirk on his face, and waited patiently for Seto's reaction. Seto was shocked to say the least. He was frozen to the spot. Yugi finally spoke up.
"Sir I believe that you should reconsider this meeting. I am sure that Mokuba here has had a long trip. He just arrived from the airport. I will go, and have some lunch ordered for the both of you." With that said Yugi left to order lunch.
"Mokuba." Seto all but whispered.
"Seto!" Mokuba ran to his brother, and embraced him.
Seto, wrapped his arms around his brother, and held him tight. Finally they let go of each other to find the other crying.
"I have missed you Mokie." Seto said through the tears.
"I missed you too, big brother."
Mokuba had recently gone away to college, and had been gone for over a year. All though he and Seto had kept in touch, things had been fast paced for them. Neither one had gotten time to visit the other.
"How did you manage to come here?" Seto asked.
"You can thank Yugi for that. He called, and said that I should come visit. He can be very persuasive at times."
"I know what you mean. I have missed you so much." Seto replied, with much love flowing from his voice.
"Please sit, tell me everything. How have you been, are things good at college, and have you found anyone special?" Seto all but blurted out, talking in a fast manner.
"OK, one question at a time." Mokuba laughed out.
Yugi after walking out of the office flipped open his cell phone. He dialed a number, and had lunch ordered for the Kaiba brothers. Then with a smile on his face he headed to the first floor, where the security office was. As soon as Yugi got there he had to show the main guard his pass. The guard then allowed him to go into the main security room, which held all of the surveillance equipment.
"Hello Honda, how are things today?" Yugi spoke, as he spotted Honda sitting at the main computer.
"Yugi! Nice to see you. Are you here on business or is this a visit?" He replied, not taking his eyes from the monitors.
"Afraid this is business. There was some suspicious activity this morning that I need to look into. Thank you can help me?"
"If it has to do with these cameras, then I am your man." He replied.
"Good. I need to see the camera footage from this morning. I want to see the ones that are in Seto's office, as well as outside of his office."
"Sure thing. Any particular time?" Honda asked.
"Yes about seven or eight I believe." Yugi answered back.
"All right, just watch these two screens here." He then pointed to two screens positioned at Yugi's right.
Yugi watched, and waited patiently for Honda to bring up the footage. He would most likely see that man rummaging in Seto's desk among other things. As the picture popped up on the screen though that was something Yugi did not see. Instead all he saw was an empty office, and then suddenly he saw just him, and Seto standing outside the office. The man was nowhere to be seen.
"Are you sure this is the footage from this morning?" He demanded.
"Yeah this is it. Is something wrong?" Honda asked bewildered as to why his friend was upset.
"Rewind it, and play it again."
"OK."
Honda did as Yugi asked, and waited for his friend to say something. Instead all he got was a fist slamming on the table beside him.
"Yugi?" Honda questioned.
"There was a man in Seto's office this morning, but the tape says other wise." Yugi stated.
"Are you sure, because there is no one in the tape?"
"I am positive. I saw him with my own two eyes this morning."
"So where is he then?" Honda asked.
Yugi placed his hand on his chin, giving himself a minute to think. As he stood there thinking, he let his eyes wonder to the other monitors in the room. He stopped on one particular screen. In it he could see the Kaiba brothers sitting on the couch in Seto's office. A smile spread across Yugi's face as he watched the to talking. Although he couldn't hear what was being said, Yugi knew that the two where thrilled to have the other there. As Yugi watched the screen more closely something caught his eye. Something that was not supposed to be there.
"Damn it! I knew something was up." Yugi stated.
"What are you talking about?" Honda asked, not moving to look at Yugi.
Yugi didn't even answer; he quickly punched in a number, and prayed the person would pick up. He watched the monitor of Seto and Mokuba, waiting to see what would happen. Finally, an annoyed Seto stood up, and reached for the phone.
"What the hell do you want!?" Seto yelled through the phone.
"Seto listen to me.."
"Yugi what do you…"
"I said listen! Do not say anything out loud got it?"
"OK." Seto replied.
"There is a bomb under the couch, I want you to calmly get yours, and Mokuba's ass out of there now!"
Yugi didn't wait for an answer. He saw on the monitor that the two brothers where leaving, Mokuba having a confused look on his face. Yugi all but ran to the elevator, punched the floor, and practically cussed at the slowness of it the whole way up to Seto's office. Once reaching the floor, he found Seto, and Mokuba standing at the elevator.
"What's going on?" Mokuba questioned, fear evident in his voice.
"Mokuba I want you to go downstairs, and wait in the limo." Yugi replied with out a second thought. "Take the stairs not the elevator."
"But..."
"NOW!" Seto, and Yugi both yelled out.
"OK, I am going geez, you would think I had to brothers instead of one." Mokuba stated as he headed down the stairs.
"What do we do now?" Asked Seto.
"Get everyone off of this floor first." Yugi stated.
"OK, well the only ones on this floor are my secretary, and you. I don't think there are any meetings going on."
"Where is your secretary?" Yugi asked.
"Home sick. She called in this morning." Seto said.
"OK. Then you go on down with Mokuba." Yugi said as he headed towards Seto's office.
"What about you. You are coming with me." Seto said as he grabbed Yugi before he could go any further.
"No. I am going to go see if I can do anything about this now. There is no telling when the bomb squad will get here, and plus there is no way we can evacuate this building in time."
"Fine then I am coming with you." Seto replied.
"No way. You go now. I can handle this."
Just then the elevator opened up behind them. Yugi took this opportunity to shove Seto in to the elevator. He then took off at a run to the office. Once there he quickly found the bomb taped to the bottom of the couch. The bomb had a timer on it that read five minutes and counting.
"Shit!" Yugi said as he rolled his eyes.
"What?" Came a voice from behind.
"What the hell are you doing Seto! Get out of here." Yugi screamed, but quickly turned his attention back to the bomb.
Yugi thinking as quickly as he could, pulled out an army knife that he kept in his pocket. Then carefully removing the tape, he detached the bomb from the couch.
"Get the hell out of here now!" He yelled to Seto, as he threw the bomb threw the glass windows, just as the timer read three seconds.
