Through It All

Chapter 11: Not out of danger yet.

Kaiba hadn't gone to sleep during the ride. The reason? They weren't out of danger yet. He had let Serenity sleep though, she really needed it anyway.

They had finally reached the gas station and motel. It was dark, very dark because no moon accompanied this night, and it was overcast, so the stars were out of sight.

"Serenity" Kaiba whispered into her ear, she woke up momentarily hugging him tighter before letting go. She seemed dazed and confused.

"We're at the gas station." He got up and helped her up; he then jumped off the side of the truck and helped her down, grabbing her waist while she grabbed his shoulders.

"I wish the both of you good luck, and I hope your kidnappers are put behind bars. No one deserves to go through something like that."

"Thank you for your kindness." Serenity offered.

"You take care of her." The truck driver directed at Kaiba. He then pulled away and drove into the night.

"Now what?" Serenity asked.

"Let's just get to a phone, I'll figure out what to do once we get there." He lightly took hold of her hand and they made their way together over to the phone booth.

Kaiba picked up the payphone and started putting in coins. He was grateful that their kidnappers had been too stupid to take his wallet. He called his security men, telling them everything. They asked for details of the kidnappers and he gave them all that he knew.

Serenity watched him and he paused for a second, and then looked at her.

"What was the license plate number?"
"2387590"

He relayed the number over to his men and also added that it was a light brown car. He hung up and turned to her.

"My security men are top of the range and out of all of my employees; they are the best when it comes to efficiency and hard work. They are the best Serenity; they are going to catch these guys tonight."

"When can we go home?"

"They will be here in a couple of hours to pick us up. They don't want us moving from our current position."

"Is it okay if I call my brother?"

"Go ahead." Kaiba stepped a few paces away, so he wouldn't intrude on her conversation, he also decided that he would call his brother once she was done.

"Joey?"

"SERENITY!!!"

"Hi Joey, don't panic because I am okay."

"SEREN WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"Joey I can't explain right now, just know that I am safe and please don't worry about me, I will explain everything once I get home in a couple of hours."

"Serenity... I have been so worried, the whole gang has been worried sick... we called the police but they wouldn't put out a search warrant and..."

"Joey, I love you and I will be home soon."

"I love you too sis, but please tell me what's going on?!" Joey begged, he sounded anxious and worried, even though she had told him not to worry.

"I have to go now Joey, I will see you soon." Serenity hung up, providing no room for her brother to reply. She turned to Kaiba smiling lightly.

"I could hear his voice from all the way over here" Kaiba remarked, Serenity laughed lightly. That was her brother, always loud but very caring; she couldn't wait to see him again because he was one of the people that had always believed in her and one of the people that she loved the most. Hearing his voice had been a comfort to her.

She stepped away from the phone; it was obvious Kaiba wanted to make one last phone call.

Kaiba took the opportunity she gave him and called his brother. He called Mokuba's personal line, it would wake him up but his brother would be grateful.

"Mokuba"

"Big brother?" His brother's voice layered with sleep.

"I will be home soon ok?"

"Yes big brother, are you hurt? No one has seen you in days."

"I am just fine, go back to sleep, and I will see you in the morning."

"Okay big brother, goodnight."

"Goodnight Mokuba."

He hung up and made his way over to Serenity, she had made her way over to the small food store and was looking into the big glass window.

"What do you think of getting some food and then renting a room to wait in?" Kaiba asked.

"I'd like that."

After eating, they checked in. The room was small but suitable. It consisted of a bed and bathroom. Kaiba made his way over to the window, sitting on a chair close by.

"You can use the bathroom first."

After Serenity had washed up, she made her way out, silently sitting on the bed.

"Now we wait..."

Kaiba didn't reply. He made his way to the bathroom emerging a couple of minutes later to find a sleeping Serenity. He pulled the blankets over her, brushing a few strands of hair out of her face in the process; he then went to sit back on the chair.

He would not sleep until both of them were out of danger.
