Run Away Puppy
Chapter Six: A Police Report And The Puppy Gets Sick
Kaiba helped his puppy down the staircase then to the large couch in the living room. Joey sighed with relief when his body relaxed against the soft cushioning. Seto sat beside him and took him into a loving embrace. “Hmmm…Seto.” Joey said while nuzzling into his lover's neck. Kaiba touched Joey's cheek and found it surprisingly warm for someone who was just in light pajama pants and a tank top.
“Pup, do you feel sick?” Joey looked up to his worried master and then Seto saw it…a beginning of his puppy's sickness, usually Joey's eyes were full of life and were carefree, now they held a slight show of fatigue and the heat of the blonde's body was melting away the color from his eyes. Kaiba held the back of his hand against Joey's check then against his forehead. “Are you sure you don't feel sick pup?” Joey nodded then nuzzled into his master's neck again. Seto felt his body warm in response. Finally as the couple settled in a knock came. Seto and Joey looked at each other then the brunette sighed and left his comfy state to answer the door.
“Seto Kaiba?” The officer asked. The brunette nodded. “May I come in?”
“May I ask why you are here officer?”
“I was assigned to a missing persons case featuring a sixteen-year-old male named Joseph Wheeler and I have been informed that he may be here.”
Kaiba sighed heavily and opened his front door to let the officer in and out of the rain. Joey began to feel nervous when the policeman sat in the chair left of the couch. Seto took his place back next to the blonde.
“Joseph Wheeler?” The blonde nodded and then suddenly felt a bit dizzy but didn't think much of it. “You're father, Jack Wheeler, came down to the station and reported you missing, he says you ran away from home.”
“I did run away from home, I ran away from all the abuse and pain he has caused me.”
“What do you mean by abuse Mr. Wheeler?”
“Exactly what it sounds like, hitting kicking, punching, yelling, crying, that sort of stuff, but this last time was the final straw, my very own father put me in the hospital for the fourth time in two years.” Joey explained. As the blonde spoke, he felt himself get dizzy and rather tired.
“Do you have any proof of this abuse?” Joey lifted his pajama pant leg up over his bandages that rest in the middle of his right thigh. Seto unwrapped some of the dressings to let the officer get a look at Joey's healing wound.
“Two nights ago my father was drunk, again, and began to threaten me for lack of better things to do. He began to kick and hit me and in the kitchen he hit me so that I fell backward and landed on a rusty pole.” Joey explained. Seto and the blonde began to hear his voice begin to tire. Seto felt his head again; Joey's body was becoming increasing warm.
“What is it Seto?” Joey asked curiously looking up at his lover. “I think you're getting sick, you have a fever.” Seto said while touching Joey's forehead again. The brunette got up and went to get a thermometer. Joey felt dizzy and leaned back against the couch. `Maybe Seto's right, maybe I am getting sick.'
“So looking at the condition of your wound, I would say that you would have bled pretty profusely.” The officer stated. Joey nodded, “Yeah, I did and I am sure that if you go to talk to my father you'll find blood still on the kitchen floor. My father is too lazy and drunk most of the time to clean shit up.”
“And if you go into Joey's room, you'll find a rather large blood stain on the carpet next to the bed. And I'll bet my company that if you test that blood to Joey's blood, and to that in the kitchen, you'll find they match.” Kaiba said while sitting back down next to Joey.
The officer stood up, “Well, I guess I should take your story into consideration. We'll question your father and Mr. Kaiba, I'm gonna need to talk to the doctor that worked on Joey, and if they still have the pole he was impaled on I would like to take a look at it. Thank you for your time Gentlemen.” And with that the officer let himself out and was headed back to the station.
“Here, open your mouth pup.” Kaiba said while placing the thermometer in Joey's mouth and under his tongue. The blonde whined up at Kaiba, he could feel his body begin to tire and stiffen. The CEO pulled Joey closer to his body and they snuggled until the beeper on the thermometer went off. Seto proceeded to take the object from Joey's mouth and look at the tiny screen. Seto sighed then touched his puppy's forehead, it was warmer than normal.
“Joey…pup, you're sick, you've got a fever of 101, can you feel it or not?” Seto asked concerned. Joey slowly sat up straight and grimaced as a sharp pain shot through his right leg. “Yeah, you know what? I feel really weak and tired all of a sudden and I didn't 45 minutes ago. And my leg hurts really badly. Do I have any pain killers I can take?” Joey's voice was tired and almost a pained whisper. Seto nodded and went upstairs to get his pup's pain medication. When he got back, Joey was nearly in tears.
“Pup…pup what's wrong?” Seto asked while sitting next to the blonde. “It really hurts…it…I don't know how much more of this I can take.” Joey said between sobs. Seto took Joey into his arms and comforted him as he opened the pup's medicine. “Here, take two of these.” Kaiba said while handing his lover two pills then his lukewarm hot chocolate. Joey put the pills in his mouth then washed them down with the liquid, but in spite of his efforts, he was still in an immense amount of pain. The pup had had enough; maybe if he lay down for a while he would feel better. Seto helped him up the stairs but only half way Joey collapsed in Seto's arms, blacking out.
“Joey…Joey…Joey…Joseph!!!” Kaiba said as carefully shook the blonde. Nothing, Joey was out cold. Seto quickly made his way up the stairs and rushed his puppy to their bedroom then called the doctor to explain what happened.
“Now, explain to me what happened to Joey earlier.” Seto took a breath in and sharply exhaled, “Alright, at first I thought it was just a fever but then as he was talking to the police officer I heard his voice begin to tire and get weary and when I looked into his eyes, I could see signs of fatigue. Then he complained about his leg killing him and he asked for his pain medication. I gave it to him but he was still in pain then he passed out.” Dr. Barnhart looked at Joey then back to Kaiba, “Well, from the sounds of things, it seems the result of Joey's sickness is the pain in his leg. Though it seems bad, it's not really, he will come to, you have him his meds before he passed out, the pain should dull soon if not already and he should wake within time.” Seto sighed with relief and thanked his doctor.
“Oh, Doctor, one more thing, can I get you to do Joey and I a favor?”
“Shoot.”
“I need you to testify against Joey's father, be a witness to your patient's horrible abuse and help me lock away that crazy bastard for life.” Kaiba's voice was full of intensity and seriousness. Dr. Barnhart nodded then began to walk out of the bedroom. “Oh, and bring the pole Joey was knocked onto.” The doctor nodded then showed himself out.
Kaiba sat down next to Joey's side and began to stroke the golden locks upon his puppy's head. Suddenly the power came back on but the storm outside showed no mercy. Seto smiled to himself then kissed his pup's forehead. “Wake up soon.” Kaiba whispered then got up and went into his office in the next room.
“Alright…apartment K-1020.” The officer said while knocking on the door. It opened and a groggily drunk Jack Wheeler stood behind the door. “Yeah, what'd ya want?”
“Sir I have news about your son, Joseph Wheeler.”
“Oh yeah, where is the little sh…I mean, where is he?”
“Sir, if you could let me in, we have some things to discuss.” Jack nodded then opened the door to his `humble' home.
“So, where did you find my son officer?” Jack asked in a mildly drunken tone. “Sir, do you mind if I look around?”
“What for, plan on findin' somthin'?”
“I need to confirm some suspicions I have.” Jack scratched the back of his head and watched as the officer looked around the front room. He then went into the kitchen; he found what the teen said he would. He knelt down and took a picture and a sample then put the blood and camera into his coat pocket. Jack was so drunk that he was passed out on the couch again. The officer found Joey's room and there he found the bloodstained carpet, he took a picture then cut a piece of it out and left the building.
Back at the Kaiba Mansion, the blonde puppy began to stir in his sleep, dreaming wildly.
~Joey's Dream~
It was a cold and stormy morning as the blonde woke up. He yawned heavily then shook off the blankets he had been curled up in all night. Joey slowly crawled out of bed but when he stood up, he got dizzy and his stomach sort of turned, funny, it felt kind of hard too, maybe he was just hungry.
Joey bounded down into the hallway then the stairs. There on the couch sat Mokuba and Seto. Joey climbed into his master's lap and snuggled into him. “Good morning my golden puppy.” Seto said lovingly. “Now that we're all together, can we make some breakfast?” Mokuba asked happily. Seto nodded and the boy squealed leaping off the couch and into the kitchen.
Though Seto tried to get up, Joey wouldn't move. “Pup, come on, get up.” Joey made a whining objection. The brunette kissed the blonde's lips. “Oh, alright I'll get up. Your kisses are so persuasive.” Seto smirked then whispered into Joey's ear, “I know, how do you think I get you to lay with me in the first place?” Joey shivered at the warm air that hit his skin.
“Come on you two, what's the hold up?” Mokuba yelled with the crash of pots and pans. Quickly, Joey and Seto rushed to the kitchen. There, Mokuba sat in the middle of the floor covered in flour and a pot on his head. The boy giggled then sneezed. “Mokuba, are you alright?”
“Yeah, I'm fine big brother.”
“But…I'm… not.” Joey said breathless. Kaiba looked to him and he was doubled over and holding his stomach. Kaiba knew it was time and rushed his lover to their bedroom.
“Kaiba, what's wrong with me? I feel like I'm in labor or something.” Joey panted. “It's because you are, you're gonna have a puppy.” Kaiba said. “What!!!!!!” Joey yelled.
“Just push down on the contraction.” Seto said as he coached his lover's birth. Joey did just that and when the time came for the last push Joey screamed in utter pain.
~End Dream~
“Joey…Joey…Joey, wake up.” Seto said softly. The blonde woke up screaming and a bit sweaty, the dream had felt so real. Joey looked over at the brunette, “I am not having a puppy.” Seto raised an eyebrow. “Was that what your screaming was all about? I thought it sounded like labor pains.” Joey huffed and Kaiba smiled, taking his lover into an embrace. “Of course you're not having a puppy, but maybe some day you can.” Seto said with a little hint in his voice.
