(post-canon by several years, this Mokuba is early 20s)
"What do you want, Joey?" Mokuba's voice was cool and calm; he'd fully recovered from his earlier outburst.
"Pegasus didn't leave the property. I saw your men stop him on his way out."
"I can't allow him to leave or communicate with the outside world until Seto's situation has resolved. It would hurt our company too much, and I know he'll do it just to spite us."
Joey hesitated, then set his jaw, bracing himself.
"Holding Pegasus prisoner isn't going to make up for what he did to you. It won't make you feel better, either."
"I never said I was after retribution or revenge." Mokuba maintained the appearance of calm. "It's a pragmatic decision made to preserve KaibaCorp stocks and our way of life. It's also the only way to keep the story from reaching the media."
Joey studied Mokuba's face, looking only the tiniest bit convinced.
"Where is Pegasus now?"
"He's being held in a place that suits him." Mokuba smiled in a way that made Joey shiver. He looked too much like his brother when he was the same age, too much like he had something to prove and was willing to do anything.
