Chapter 16
The Crane Gang had finally made it to their secret headquarters. After getting the necessary treatment for their injuries the gang regrouped to decide what to do next.
“Our business are being destroyed, gangs in every city we control are trying to take over.” Stated Tom
“Well I can't allow that to happen, I've work to hard to build this operation just for it to go to waste.” Said the Crane Master.
“And don't forget about Gohan, it won't be long before he finds out and comes looking for us, with his friend.” Said James.
“Not to mention that we don't have the strength to beat them. Said Zane.
“Not yet you don't but you will.” Smirked Crane Master
“What are you talking about.” Ask Troy getting curious.
“What if I told you that I can have you fixed up like my brother.”
“So what, he still lost to Gohan, and in case you hadn't notice our skill is nothing compared to his. What good would it do us if we still can't beat him. ” Ask Troy.
“Well for one you'll be stronger than my brother. While my brother did have new parts, he was still base off an older model. You guys on the other hand has already been equipped with some of the latest design, it won't be too hard to finish the process. And as for skill, I can get you some of the best fighting techniques from the strongest fighters around, Gohan won't stand a chance and neither will his friend.” Smirked the Crane Master.
“Why didn't you tell us before? If we could be as powerful as you say we could, then why didn't you do this sooner” Ask Troy as he thought about being more powerful
“Because it would have looked real weird for a group of high school boys to be that strong. I was already taking a risk with your current power. But now that you no longer in high school it's no longer a problem. I promise you in two weeks, you'll be the strongest cyborgs ever created, nothing will stop you. Will you accept?.” Ask Crane Master.
“We accept, but there's still a problem concerning Gohan, what's to stop him from finding us before this is done.” Ask Troy.
“Don't worry, I got a plan that should keep him busy. You, take them to the South Wing to begin the operation. I want them ready as soon as possible. ” Said Crane Master.
WEDNESDAY MORNING
Videl walked down the hall growling at the looks she was receiving. It was a very rare for Videl to be at school this early. Since she had begun fighting crime she usually didn't arrive to school until after third period. But since the arrival of the Gold Fighter that had change greatly, nowadays she would get to school either during first period or a few minutes before it, but never thirty minutes before it. But that didn't bother her. Right now her problem concerned Gohan. Late last night she had receive a call from the chief informing her that the Crane Gang had escaped and ask if she would help in finding them. She agreed of course but after searching for them late into the night all the next day, she had finally gave up. Now she was looking for Gohan.
{Finding him won't be too hard but getting him to talk will be difficult. He leaves every time he sees me coming. Not to mention the fact that he looks at me with so much hate in his eyes. Well I'm pretty sure he knows they escape. After all it was all over the news this morning. Though I wonder how the police were able to keep press from finding out so long. Usually stuff like this would be on the news the next day.} thought Videl as she spotted Erasa.
She had thought for sure that Gohan would be with Erasa, but after seeing her and Sharpner having a heated conversation, she decided to look else where.
{I'll have to ask Erasa later what that was all about.} thought Videl.
She finally found him in the gym, finding it strange that he would be here of all places but quickly remember that this was the only place open this early in the morning that wasn't crowded. At the moment Gohan was the only person present.
“What do you want?” ask Gohan noticing her presence the minute she walk in. He had come the conclusion that he wasn't going to run from her. It just wasn't his style.
{Well it's a start; at least he's talking to me.} thought Videl.
“I was wondering if you've saw the news this morning.” Ask Videl nervously. She wasn't to sure about coming to Gohan. It was pretty clear that he was still mad. Unfortunately this sent off a different reaction in Gohan
{So, she's finally decided to go public. No matter she'll get nothing from me.}
“Fuck off Videl, I could care less if the news knows about me being the Gold Fighter or my family connection to Bulma. They were bound to find that last part out eventually. It just shows how low a “Satan” can go. Said Gohan
“What do you mean by that? You know nothing about me or my Father.” Growled Videl
“Trust me Videl, I know more than you think.” Snapped Gohan
“IF YOU KNEW SO DAMN MUCH YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I DIDN'T TELL THE NEWS ABOUT YOU!” yelled Videl.
Gohan looked stunned for a moment before glaring at her.
“THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE, I THOUGHT I MADE IT CLEAR LAST TIME THAT I WOULD NOT BE BLACKMAILED!!!!
{So that's it. He thinks I'm here to try to persuade him again.} thought Videl frowning. Though she only had herself to blame for this mishap.
“I didn't come here to try to blackmail you Gohan. I came here to see if you had heard about the Crane Gang escaping.” Ask Videl
“What?!”
“I said they-“
“I heard that part.” Interrupted Gohan.
{The Crane Gang escaped? Impossible, there was no way they could have remove those cuffs- unless someone broke them out. But I can't feel their ki anywhere. Something not adding up.} thought Gohan frowning.
Videl though had finally figured out that Gohan had not seen the news from the look on his face.
“When did this happen?” ask Gohan
“They broke out Monday evening. Apparently someone broke them out. We track them as best as we could but couldn't find a trace of them anywhere.” Said Videl
{That gives them a day head start over me.} thought Gohan.
“I see. But why are you telling me this?” ask Gohan. He knew there was more to this than her just coming here and deciding to inform him of their escape, especially if she had expected him to have seen this on the news.
“I came to see if you had any clues to where they might be since it was you and your friend who took down the gang over the weekend.”
“No....I don't have any clues...........................is that all.”
“Yeah....................listen I just want to say thanks for what you two did over the weekend. You stop lot of drugs from entering the streets.
Seeing that he wasn't going to say anything else Videl turned and headed out the gym leaving Gohan to his thoughts.
{At least he didn't try to hit me this time.} thought Videl
{This isn't good. With what I helping Erasa with, I'll have no time to fully hunt them down. I'll have to speed things up} Thought Gohan.
LUNCH
Gohan had finally caught up with Erasa who was currently eating lunch alone. Taking a seat right beside her quickly gave her a kiss on the cheek shocking Erasa with his sudden presence.
“I thought we agreed that you would give me a warning.” Said Erasa quietly.
“One should always expect the unexpected. Besides it got the desired results” said Gohan as Sharpner glared at him from the lunch line.
“Well I'm glad one of us is having fun.” Said Erasa grumbling quietly.
“What's wrong?”
“Sharpner what's wrong, we got into an argument this morning about me taking my relationship with you too fast.
“And that a bad thing because.”
“Because he said I was being stupid and careless.”
“I wouldn't worry too much about it, from the looks he giving me I'll say you were right about his feelings for you.” {And from what I'm hearing} Said Gohan as his ears was able to pick up what Sharpner was mumbling.
Hearing this brought Erasa hopes up.
“Thanks Gohan.”
“Listen Erasa; I been thinking; how about we move things up to Friday instead of Sunday.”
“What why?”
“Something came up at home and I will need to focus entirely on that.”
“Okay then, I've have no problem with that.”
{Good, that will give me the weekend to find the Crane Gang.} thought Gohan
Besides it'll just give me and Sharpner more time to talk things over after I find out he has feelings for me.”
“You mean if?”
“Now who's having doubts.” Smirked Erasa.
“You're right.
{For your sake, I hope you're right} thought Gohan.
For the rest of the week things went on as plan. Gohan and Erasa continue to put on a show which was having good results in showing Sharpner true feelings as well as Videl which didn't go un-notice by Erasa who seemed to be thinking of something whenever she notice it. . Gohan on the other hand was wondering why the Crane Gang hadn't made a move for him. Surely they would have gotten the cuffs off by now and be out on revenge. But so far nothing had happen. He was beginning to think that the Crane Gang would mess up his plan with helping Erasa. But now it was too late to worry about that. Today was the day they would go on their first official date and the whole school was talking about it.
FRIDAY AFTER SCHOOL
“Isn't there anything I can do to make you change your mind.” Ask Sharpner.
“I'm sorry Sharpner but I'm going.” Said Erasa
“Okay......................By the way where's he taking you?”
“Well first we're going to the baseball game, then to the movies and finally out to eat.”
“Interesting, what movie are you seeing?”
“I don't know. Gohan letting me decide once we get there.”
“Well I hope you enjoy yourself.”
“I will, oh here's comes Gohan, see you later Sharpner.”
{Sooner than you think Erasa, I glad I didn't get rid of those tickets, I'll be watching you Gohan.} thought Sharpner as he hurried off.
{I have to find Gohan and Erasa!} thought Videl as she flew back to the baseball field. She had tried calling Erasa but she didn't answer. She had just received word from the Chief that the Crane Master had been spotted in the city before the police lost him and there was no doubt in her mind that he was coming after Gohan.
{At least I'll know where they are going. I'll just follow them and make sure nothing happen. I'm sure I can handle one old man} Thought Videl as she decided to follow them in hopes of catching the Crane Master.
THE DATE
“Wow Gohan these are some pretty nice seats.” Said Erasa as they took their seats. Any closer and they would have been sitting with the players. Looking at Gohan she noticed he was looking around the stadium until he suddenly stop and started smiling.
“I guess I've have no need for these.” Said Erasa as she put away the binoculars.
“I wouldn't say so, look over there.” Smirked Gohan. Looking through the binoculars she looked at the direction Gohan was pointing and was shocked at what she found.
“Is that S-Sharpner?”
“Yeah, he's been following us since we left your house.”
{Unbelievable} thought Erasa
“I better put these away quickly before he spot us.”
“Right”
It wasn't long after that the game started.
{Now where is he, ah there he is.} thought Gohan spotting the former desert bandit coming up to bat. After sensing to make sure there wasn't any unwanted guest, he raised his power just as Yamcha was about to hit.
“STRIKE ONE”
{What the hell?} thought Yamcha. He was sure he had sense something but just like that it was gone. Letting it slide, he was about to hit the ball when it happen again.
“STRIKE TWO”
{WHAT IS THAT?} thought Yamcha looking around in panic.
“Hey buddy come on we got a game to play.” Cried the Ump.
“Uh, right.” Thought Yamcha trying to get back into the game.
“STIRKE THREE”
{DAMNIT} thought Yamcha as he felt it again.
The home team crowd had quite down, for it wasn't every day that Yamcha the Great struck out.
{Hope you enjoyed that Vegeta.} thought Gohan as he his self was laughing at his seat.
“Gohan calm down you laughing at the wrong team.” Said Erasa embarrass of the looks they were getting.
“Sorry but I couldn't help it.” Said Gohan. Somewhere in West City the Sayjin Prince was laughing his head off. Looking at the game, he noticed that Yamcha had finally notice him and was glaring in his direction. Smirking, he quickly sent Yamcha a peace sign before watching the game.
{How did GOHAN GET THOES SEATS?} thought Sharpner finally finding them. After getting over the shock that Yamcha had struck out he continued on his search for finding Gohan. He didn't like this one bit.
{I don't know how but some how I just miss something.} thought Videl watching the game. She had notice the look on Yamcha face as he was struck out and as he finally spotted Gohan. She also had notice Gohan laughing. Unlike Sharpner she had an idea of how Gohan had got such good tickets.
The game continue on with no more interruptions from Gohan, and Yamcha's team (Sorry but I don't know the name of his team) won shutting out the other team.
“That was a great game.”
“Yeah it was.” Agreed Gohan. “Wait here.”
“Uh, where are you going?” Ask Erasa, but Gohan was already up and had jump on to the field.
“Hey what do you think- uh, hi Mr. Son.” Said the guard nervously. He remembered the first time they had met and it was not pretty.
Waving quickly Gohan continued on his way.
“Hey what are you doing you can't let that kid on the field.”
“Then you stop him, besides if you hadn't notice Yamcha is already heading this way.”
“That okay guys, he's a friend.” Said Yamcha.
“Okay.” Said the guard more than ready to return to his post.
“That wasn't funny Gohan.”
“Oh come on Yamcha, it not normal for a baseball player to have a spotless record. Besides you still made 4 homeruns and a shut out.
“I swear you're as worst as Vegeta.”
“Well I'll be sure to bring Goten and Trunks-
“NOO! I take that back.” Said Yamcha paling at the thought of Goten and Trunks coming. He'll never forget that day Vegeta brought them. Gohan laugh seeing the expression on his face.
“Listen I need a favor from you, I'm here with a friend who's just dying to get your autograph and picture.”
“No problem.”
“Alright follow me.”
{I can't believe it he know Yamcha.} thought both Sharpner and Erasa as the two walk over to Erasa.
“So what's her name?” ask Yamcha.
“Erasa.”
“I never pictured you liking blonds Gohan.”
“I don't we're just good friends.” (no offense to any body reading this)
“Alright.” Said Yamcha taking Gohan word as they approach Erasa
“So my friend Gohan here tells me you would like a picture.” Smiled Yamcha
“Ye-Ye-Yeah.” Strutted Erasa.
Quickly getting a camera, Gohan took some pictures and after Yamcha signed them making them out to Erasa.
“See you around Yamcha.”
“See ya Gohan, nice meeting you Erasa.” Said Yamcha as he walked off to be interview for the game.
“You never told me you knew Yamcha.” Said Erasa surprised.
“You never ask. Come on we got a date to finish.” Smirked Gohan
“Right, you think Sharpner saw that?”
“I pretty sure he did.” Said Gohan as they got in the hover jet and headed to the movies.
To Gohan dismay, Erasa had decided on a Romance Movie (just imagine one of you favorites romance movies). Gohan had wanted to sit in the back but Erasa persuaded him to sit in front mentioning that Sharpner wouldn't have anywhere to hide.
It wasn't long after they sat down that Sharpner finally found them.
{You better not try any funny stuff in here Gohan.} thought Sharpner taking a seat in the back
“You're sure you have enough popcorn.” Ask Erasa eyeing the two large buckets of popcorn in his hands.
“Very funny.” replied Gohan sitting down. Pretty soon the movie got on its way and to Gohan surprise the movie wasn't all that bad. Sharpner hadn't notice the movie, all he notice was how close Gohan and Erasa was, and hated every minute of it. At the moment, he was VERY tempted to head down there and break the two up. The movie finish without any interruptions and the two “lovebirds” headed out to eat.
{So far so good, let's just hope they can make it through dinner.} thought Videl as she saw them come out the theater frowning seeing the two hand in hand. So far their plan was working great.
Arriving at the restaurant, the two took a seat in the far corner.
{At least this restaurant isn't in the open; I should be able to see anyone from here.} Thought Vided landing on building nearby. Sharpner though had seated his self on the opposite side of the restaurant but still had a good view. While waiting on their food Erasa decided it was now or never to ask her question.
“Listen Gohan; I was wondering........if there was any chance............that you and Videl.......could become friends.” Ask Erasa slowly.
“You're kidding right, you want me to be friends with THAT girl who not only SPIED on me but tried to BLACKMAIL me as well.” Ask Gohan frowning but still manage to kept his voice low.
“Look I'm not asking you to be best friends {Though I pretty sure Videl wouldn't mind} I'm just asking you to get along with her. After all Videl is one of my best friends.” Pleaded Erasa.
“Right; she's your best friend, not mine.” Stated Gohan
“So we're friends too right.”
“Yeah but I don't see why I have to hang out with her, or why I should be there when you two hang out for that matter.”
“So what, you rather I split time between the two of you?”
“I wouldn't mind.”
“I don't see what the problem- okay I can see the problem but you put up with Sharpner.”
“Everyone puts up with Sharpner.”
“Gohan...........all I'm asking is that you give it a shot. Show her you're better than that. Videl has no other friends besides me and Sharpner.”
“I can see why.”
“Gohan.”
“What's to stop her from continuing trying to blackmail me? You're asking me to try to be friends with someone who had plans of ruining me and my brother's life. Hell who's to say she isn't spying on me right now.”
“Gohan.............Videl told me she never intended to tell the press, she just wanted to scare you into giving her information. And don't be ridiculous she told me herself that she was going to the police station. Come on Gohan, so what she did was stupid and irresponsible, everyone entitled to some mistakes.”
“True, but the prices of some of those mistakes aren't worth it. I should know, it's how I lost my father.” Stated Gohan
The two of them sat in silence for a while each thinking about what the other said.
“Gohan...........all I'm asking is that you try for me. I can't handle having friends who hate each other. It's driving me crazy and I don't want to lose you or Videl but I can't handle this. Will you please just try it?” pleaded Erasa
“...............................................I'll try, but don't count on it working; you really don't know what you're asking me to do.”
“I know that what I'm asking you to do is very difficult especially after what she did. Thanks Gohan, you're a true friend” Said Erasa dropping the subject.
{I tried Videl, but this is the best that I can do.}thought Erasa
Slowly Gohan grabbed Erasa hand and begin tracing their hands together.
“Uh, Gohan what are you doing?”
“We're on a date remember, I pretty sure our conversation has had some unwanted affects to our `friend'.” Smirked Gohan
“Oh, right.”
{Damn it what happen?} thought Sharpner frowning. For a while the two was having what looked like a heated argument and Sharpner was jumping for joy. Now it looked like the two had made up. Pretty soon the food finally arrive and the two enjoyed their meal in silence. After paying the waiter, the couple quickly left the restaurant.
{Well it seemed they enjoyed their self, looks like the Crane Master won't strike tonight. But I better follow them home just in case.} thought Videl as she waited for them to take off. While waiting, she finally noticed Sharpner coming out of the restaurant.
{I can't believe it, Sharpner following them, he really is jealous.}thought Videl laughing.
She was about to go question Sharpner until she reminded her self that she too had been following them and if she confronted Sharpner then her cover would be blown. Deciding to get him later she continued to follow Gohan and Erasa. For a while it looked as if they were heading to Erasa house, until Gohan changed course mid-flight and headed else where.
{Where are they going?} thought Sharpner and Videl.
They soon receive their answer as Gohan pull up to Satan Park. Growling as he entered the park the two quickly got out of the hover jet and headed into the park. After walking half way through the park the two spotted a bench and took a seat. For a while the two did nothing but looked at the stars.
“Is he here yet?” Whispered Erasa.
“No, not yet.” Answered Gohan.
{What are the two of them doing here?} thought Videl as she took a seat in a tree near by as quietly as she could. Finally Gohan spotted Sharpner jumping in a nearby bush.
“He's here, you ready?”
“As ready as I'll ever be.”
Slowly Gohan brought his hands and cupped Erasa face as the two near each other and kiss. Seeing their kiss Videl near fell out of the tree she was hiding in. Sharpner on the other hand could barely control the shriek that left his lips. Gohan and Erasa kiss became deeper and didn't look like they would be breaking apart soon.
{I shouldn't be here, I'm pretty sure Gohan can handle things if something comes up.} thought Videl not wanting to see how far this would go. She was about to jump out the tree when she notice Sharpner charging Gohan and Erasa.
{It's about time.} thought Gohan.
“THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!” shouted Sharpner as he pulled Erasa away from Gohan and punch him in the face.
{OH MY GOD GOHAN GOING TO KILL HIM!!!!} thought Erasa
Gohan though for his part stayed seated. In truth he had expected Sharpner to pulled Erasa away from him but the punch was unexpected. Though for now Gohan would let it slide; now was not the time to knock Sharpner out, but he would be sure that Sharpner would not go unpunished.
“Sharpner calm down, what are you doing here anyway.” Ask Erasa trying to recover her shock. Meanwhile Sharpner was trying to ignore the pain in his right hand.
{Shit my hand feels like I punch a fucking brick wall.} thought Sharpner.
“Following you that's what. What were you thinking making out with Gohan in the park? Have you lost your mind?!”
“No I haven't but you oblivious have.” Quickly grabbling Erasa hand, Sharpner pull Erasa out of ear shot from Gohan (At least he thought it was).
“Is this........truly what you want.........Erasa..........you and Gohan?”
“Yes Sharpner this is what I want. Why would you ask that?”
“Because I...I........ I love you Erasa, I have since junior high...........but I never had the courage to tell you. {Till Gohan came along and took you away from me!} I know it's hard to believe especially with how I acted towards Videl; but it's you I've always love. The reason I never acted like that to you was because it would've killed me to see you reject me. I know I should've said something sooner but-
Sharpner love speech was cut short as Erasa jump on him knocking him to the ground crying with joy.
“I KNEW IT, I WAS RIGHT, YOU DID HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME!” cried Erasa.
“Uhhhh, Erasa what's going on?” ask Sharpner Standing the two of them up.
“Sharpner..............all of this was a setup.”
“A Setup?”
{Setup?} thought Videl
“Yes a set up. You see Sharpner.........I've always had a crush on you, but could never tell how you felt about me. So I ask Gohan to help me set this up. I had to be sure you felt the same as I did.”
“Sooooooo all of this was just a setup to find my true feeling?” ask Sharpner trying to figure everything out.
“Yes Sharpner. I'm sorry if this look like I was playing with your feelings but I had to be sure.”
Sharpner thought about what Erasa said before a smile finally came across his face as he quickly pulled Erasa into a kiss.
“Guess I'll see you two later.” Said Gohan as he headed towards the exit. Though Sharpner and Erasa heard him, the two continue to kiss. As Gohan approach the trees he growled feeling an unwanted presence.
“You can come out now Videl, the show's over.” Replied Gohan looking up in the tree.
“H-How did you know?”
“You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Now would you mind telling me why you were following us? And don't try to deny it either, you've been following us since we were at the game.”
“…………The chief informed me that the Crane Master was spotted in town so I figured he was coming after you; I tried to call Erasa but after receiving no answer I decided to follow you to make sure nothing happen.”
Videl waited for Gohan to reply, but instead he continue to stare at her which really un-nerve her.
{Erasa must have thought I would've gotten mad with Videl calling. That why she said not to worry.} thought Gohan. He had remembered Erasa cell phone going off and her telling him not to worry about it. Deciding not to question Videl any longer Gohan headed on his way.
“Hey Gohan.”
“What?”
“That was a nice thing you did back there helping those two.”
“Humph” replied Gohan as he headed out of the park. Finally coming to the gates, he quickly popped out his hover jet and left. He would have simple flew but didn't want to cause any unwanted attention. He was heading over the park when he heard a shot nearby.
{Shit!} thought Gohan as he saw an object heading his way. Videl, Sharpner and Erasa all looked up as they heard the blast and saw that Gohan hover jet had just blew up.
{GOHAN!!!!!!!!}
{Did I kill him?.} thought the thug. He had only intended for that shot slow Gohan down not kill him.
“Well that was unexpected.” Muttered the thug as he began to smile.
“And so is this.”
The thug turn around just in time to see a foot connected with his head sending him to the ground. Before he had a chance to recover, Gohan had quickly picked him up and slam him to a tree.
“Where's the Crane Gang?” questioned Gohan knowing that there was only one person who could have been behind this.
“Isn't that the million dollar question.” Smirked the thug as he did a terrible job of trying to hide the pain he was feeling.
“I'm not going to ask again.” Said Gohan as he tightened his grip on the thug.
“I really have no idea besides that not the reason why I was sent here?”
“I'm listening.”
“I'm here to warn you not to go looking for Troy and the others, they'll find you soon enough, unless of course you wouldn't mind seeing your lady friends back there dead. You see the Crane Master has put a large bounty on their heads to anyone who can kill them...and you. My guest is that it won't be long before they come. You're just lucky I wasn't hired to do the job.”
{So that's their plan, slow me down while they regroup.} Thought Gohan frowning. Looking up in the sky he noticed Videl jet copter coming landing nearby. He quickly knocked the thug out and hid him before the others arrive.
“Gohan are you okay? What happen?” ask Erasa as she and the others approach him. At the moment she was still trying to figure where Videl had come from. She and Sharpner had met Videl on their way out of the park after seeing the hover jet explode.
“I don't know. One minute I was flying and the next thing I know the computer started saying something about the system overloading. Luckily I wasn't going to fast and so I jump to the nearest tree right before it blew up.” Said Gohan. Though it was a little far fetch, it would have to do. Looking at Videl, he could tell that she didn't buy it one bit. But for the moment she wasn't saying anything.
“Well you don't seem to be injured so there's no need in taking you to the hospital.” Said Sharpner
“Do you have another capsule?”
“No.”
“I'll give him a ride.” Blurted Videl quickly receiving strange glances from the others around her.
“What? Sharpner already has to take you home doesn't he Erasa?” ask Videl
“Yeah-
“So it would be to much of a hassle for him to take both of you, besides I'm pretty sure Gohan `home' is way of the way for Sharpner.” Said Videl knowing she had Erasa.
“Oh right, of course, well we better get going now, see you two later.” Said Erasa as she dragged Sharpner away. After throwing out his capsule the two quickly headed home leaving Gohan and Videl behind. Looking at Gohan, Videl was wondering what he was doing till she saw a man being pulled from the bush.
“I believe this is the guy you should have been looking for.” Said Gohan as he drop the man at her feet.
“Did you find out anything about the Crane Master?” ask Videl as she checked to make sure he was still alive, after which she carried him to the copter to take him to the station.
“Only that's he in hiding for the moment.”
Videl had a feeling that he wasn't telling everything he knew at the moment but decided not to press things.
“Well I guess we should be on our way.”
“That won't be necessary.”
“What why-“Videl stop seeing that Gohan had already took to the sky heading home.
{Forgot about that, at least he could have thank me.} thought Videl frowning.

Chapter 16
The Crane Gang had finally made it to their secret headquarters. After getting the necessary treatment for their injuries the gang regrouped to decide what to do next.
“Our business are being destroyed, gangs in every city we control are trying to take over.” Stated Tom
“Well I can't allow that to happen, I've work to hard to build this operation just for it to go to waste.” Said the Crane Master.
“And don't forget about Gohan, it won't be long before he finds out and comes looking for us, with his friend.” Said James.
“Not to mention that we don't have the strength to beat them. Said Zane.
“Not yet you don't but you will.” Smirked Crane Master
“What are you talking about.” Ask Troy getting curious.
“What if I told you that I can have you fixed up like my brother.”
“So what, he still lost to Gohan, and in case you hadn't notice our skill is nothing compared to his. What good would it do us if we still can't beat him. ” Ask Troy.
“Well for one you'll be stronger than my brother. While my brother did have new parts, he was still base off an older model. You guys on the other hand has already been equipped with some of the latest design, it won't be too hard to finish the process. And as for skill, I can get you some of the best fighting techniques from the strongest fighters around, Gohan won't stand a chance and neither will his friend.” Smirked the Crane Master.
“Why didn't you tell us before? If we could be as powerful as you say we could, then why didn't you do this sooner” Ask Troy as he thought about being more powerful
“Because it would have looked real weird for a group of high school boys to be that strong. I was already taking a risk with your current power. But now that you no longer in high school it's no longer a problem. I promise you in two weeks, you'll be the strongest cyborgs ever created, nothing will stop you. Will you accept?.” Ask Crane Master.
“We accept, but there's still a problem concerning Gohan, what's to stop him from finding us before this is done.” Ask Troy.
“Don't worry, I got a plan that should keep him busy. You, take them to the South Wing to begin the operation. I want them ready as soon as possible. ” Said Crane Master.
WEDNESDAY MORNING
Videl walked down the hall growling at the looks she was receiving. It was a very rare for Videl to be at school this early. Since she had begun fighting crime she usually didn't arrive to school until after third period. But since the arrival of the Gold Fighter that had change greatly, nowadays she would get to school either during first period or a few minutes before it, but never thirty minutes before it. But that didn't bother her. Right now her problem concerned Gohan. Late last night she had receive a call from the chief informing her that the Crane Gang had escaped and ask if she would help in finding them. She agreed of course but after searching for them late into the night all the next day, she had finally gave up. Now she was looking for Gohan.
{Finding him won't be too hard but getting him to talk will be difficult. He leaves every time he sees me coming. Not to mention the fact that he looks at me with so much hate in his eyes. Well I'm pretty sure he knows they escape. After all it was all over the news this morning. Though I wonder how the police were able to keep press from finding out so long. Usually stuff like this would be on the news the next day.} thought Videl as she spotted Erasa.
She had thought for sure that Gohan would be with Erasa, but after seeing her and Sharpner having a heated conversation, she decided to look else where.
{I'll have to ask Erasa later what that was all about.} thought Videl.
She finally found him in the gym, finding it strange that he would be here of all places but quickly remember that this was the only place open this early in the morning that wasn't crowded. At the moment Gohan was the only person present.
“What do you want?” ask Gohan noticing her presence the minute she walk in. He had come the conclusion that he wasn't going to run from her. It just wasn't his style.
{Well it's a start; at least he's talking to me.} thought Videl.
“I was wondering if you've saw the news this morning.” Ask Videl nervously. She wasn't to sure about coming to Gohan. It was pretty clear that he was still mad. Unfortunately this sent off a different reaction in Gohan
{So, she's finally decided to go public. No matter she'll get nothing from me.}
“Fuck off Videl, I could care less if the news knows about me being the Gold Fighter or my family connection to Bulma. They were bound to find that last part out eventually. It just shows how low a “Satan” can go. Said Gohan
“What do you mean by that? You know nothing about me or my Father.” Growled Videl
“Trust me Videl, I know more than you think.” Snapped Gohan
“IF YOU KNEW SO DAMN MUCH YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I DIDN'T TELL THE NEWS ABOUT YOU!” yelled Videl.
Gohan looked stunned for a moment before glaring at her.
“THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE, I THOUGHT I MADE IT CLEAR LAST TIME THAT I WOULD NOT BE BLACKMAILED!!!!
{So that's it. He thinks I'm here to try to persuade him again.} thought Videl frowning. Though she only had herself to blame for this mishap.
“I didn't come here to try to blackmail you Gohan. I came here to see if you had heard about the Crane Gang escaping.” Ask Videl
“What?!”
“I said they-“
“I heard that part.” Interrupted Gohan.
{The Crane Gang escaped? Impossible, there was no way they could have remove those cuffs- unless someone broke them out. But I can't feel their ki anywhere. Something not adding up.} thought Gohan frowning.
Videl though had finally figured out that Gohan had not seen the news from the look on his face.
“When did this happen?” ask Gohan
“They broke out Monday evening. Apparently someone broke them out. We track them as best as we could but couldn't find a trace of them anywhere.” Said Videl
{That gives them a day head start over me.} thought Gohan.
“I see. But why are you telling me this?” ask Gohan. He knew there was more to this than her just coming here and deciding to inform him of their escape, especially if she had expected him to have seen this on the news.
“I came to see if you had any clues to where they might be since it was you and your friend who took down the gang over the weekend.”
“No....I don't have any clues...........................is that all.”
“Yeah....................listen I just want to say thanks for what you two did over the weekend. You stop lot of drugs from entering the streets.
Seeing that he wasn't going to say anything else Videl turned and headed out the gym leaving Gohan to his thoughts.
{At least he didn't try to hit me this time.} thought Videl
{This isn't good. With what I helping Erasa with, I'll have no time to fully hunt them down. I'll have to speed things up} Thought Gohan.
LUNCH
Gohan had finally caught up with Erasa who was currently eating lunch alone. Taking a seat right beside her quickly gave her a kiss on the cheek shocking Erasa with his sudden presence.
“I thought we agreed that you would give me a warning.” Said Erasa quietly.
“One should always expect the unexpected. Besides it got the desired results” said Gohan as Sharpner glared at him from the lunch line.
“Well I'm glad one of us is having fun.” Said Erasa grumbling quietly.
“What's wrong?”
“Sharpner what's wrong, we got into an argument this morning about me taking my relationship with you too fast.
“And that a bad thing because.”
“Because he said I was being stupid and careless.”
“I wouldn't worry too much about it, from the looks he giving me I'll say you were right about his feelings for you.” {And from what I'm hearing} Said Gohan as his ears was able to pick up what Sharpner was mumbling.
Hearing this brought Erasa hopes up.
“Thanks Gohan.”
“Listen Erasa; I been thinking; how about we move things up to Friday instead of Sunday.”
“What why?”
“Something came up at home and I will need to focus entirely on that.”
“Okay then, I've have no problem with that.”
{Good, that will give me the weekend to find the Crane Gang.} thought Gohan
Besides it'll just give me and Sharpner more time to talk things over after I find out he has feelings for me.”
“You mean if?”
“Now who's having doubts.” Smirked Erasa.
“You're right.
{For your sake, I hope you're right} thought Gohan.
For the rest of the week things went on as plan. Gohan and Erasa continue to put on a show which was having good results in showing Sharpner true feelings as well as Videl which didn't go un-notice by Erasa who seemed to be thinking of something whenever she notice it. . Gohan on the other hand was wondering why the Crane Gang hadn't made a move for him. Surely they would have gotten the cuffs off by now and be out on revenge. But so far nothing had happen. He was beginning to think that the Crane Gang would mess up his plan with helping Erasa. But now it was too late to worry about that. Today was the day they would go on their first official date and the whole school was talking about it.
FRIDAY AFTER SCHOOL
“Isn't there anything I can do to make you change your mind.” Ask Sharpner.
“I'm sorry Sharpner but I'm going.” Said Erasa
“Okay......................By the way where's he taking you?”
“Well first we're going to the baseball game, then to the movies and finally out to eat.”
“Interesting, what movie are you seeing?”
“I don't know. Gohan letting me decide once we get there.”
“Well I hope you enjoy yourself.”
“I will, oh here's comes Gohan, see you later Sharpner.”
{Sooner than you think Erasa, I glad I didn't get rid of those tickets, I'll be watching you Gohan.} thought Sharpner as he hurried off.
{I have to find Gohan and Erasa!} thought Videl as she flew back to the baseball field. She had tried calling Erasa but she didn't answer. She had just received word from the Chief that the Crane Master had been spotted in the city before the police lost him and there was no doubt in her mind that he was coming after Gohan.
{At least I'll know where they are going. I'll just follow them and make sure nothing happen. I'm sure I can handle one old man} Thought Videl as she decided to follow them in hopes of catching the Crane Master.
THE DATE
“Wow Gohan these are some pretty nice seats.” Said Erasa as they took their seats. Any closer and they would have been sitting with the players. Looking at Gohan she noticed he was looking around the stadium until he suddenly stop and started smiling.
“I guess I've have no need for these.” Said Erasa as she put away the binoculars.
“I wouldn't say so, look over there.” Smirked Gohan. Looking through the binoculars she looked at the direction Gohan was pointing and was shocked at what she found.
“Is that S-Sharpner?”
“Yeah, he's been following us since we left your house.”
{Unbelievable} thought Erasa
“I better put these away quickly before he spot us.”
“Right”
It wasn't long after that the game started.
{Now where is he, ah there he is.} thought Gohan spotting the former desert bandit coming up to bat. After sensing to make sure there wasn't any unwanted guest, he raised his power just as Yamcha was about to hit.
“STRIKE ONE”
{What the hell?} thought Yamcha. He was sure he had sense something but just like that it was gone. Letting it slide, he was about to hit the ball when it happen again.
“STRIKE TWO”
{WHAT IS THAT?} thought Yamcha looking around in panic.
“Hey buddy come on we got a game to play.” Cried the Ump.
“Uh, right.” Thought Yamcha trying to get back into the game.
“STIRKE THREE”
{DAMNIT} thought Yamcha as he felt it again.
The home team crowd had quite down, for it wasn't every day that Yamcha the Great struck out.
{Hope you enjoyed that Vegeta.} thought Gohan as he his self was laughing at his seat.
“Gohan calm down you laughing at the wrong team.” Said Erasa embarrass of the looks they were getting.
“Sorry but I couldn't help it.” Said Gohan. Somewhere in West City the Sayjin Prince was laughing his head off. Looking at the game, he noticed that Yamcha had finally notice him and was glaring in his direction. Smirking, he quickly sent Yamcha a peace sign before watching the game.
{How did GOHAN GET THOES SEATS?} thought Sharpner finally finding them. After getting over the shock that Yamcha had struck out he continued on his search for finding Gohan. He didn't like this one bit.
{I don't know how but some how I just miss something.} thought Videl watching the game. She had notice the look on Yamcha face as he was struck out and as he finally spotted Gohan. She also had notice Gohan laughing. Unlike Sharpner she had an idea of how Gohan had got such good tickets.
The game continue on with no more interruptions from Gohan, and Yamcha's team (Sorry but I don't know the name of his team) won shutting out the other team.
“That was a great game.”
“Yeah it was.” Agreed Gohan. “Wait here.”
“Uh, where are you going?” Ask Erasa, but Gohan was already up and had jump on to the field.
“Hey what do you think- uh, hi Mr. Son.” Said the guard nervously. He remembered the first time they had met and it was not pretty.
Waving quickly Gohan continued on his way.
“Hey what are you doing you can't let that kid on the field.”
“Then you stop him, besides if you hadn't notice Yamcha is already heading this way.”
“That okay guys, he's a friend.” Said Yamcha.
“Okay.” Said the guard more than ready to return to his post.
“That wasn't funny Gohan.”
“Oh come on Yamcha, it not normal for a baseball player to have a spotless record. Besides you still made 4 homeruns and a shut out.
“I swear you're as worst as Vegeta.”
“Well I'll be sure to bring Goten and Trunks-
“NOO! I take that back.” Said Yamcha paling at the thought of Goten and Trunks coming. He'll never forget that day Vegeta brought them. Gohan laugh seeing the expression on his face.
“Listen I need a favor from you, I'm here with a friend who's just dying to get your autograph and picture.”
“No problem.”
“Alright follow me.”
{I can't believe it he know Yamcha.} thought both Sharpner and Erasa as the two walk over to Erasa.
“So what's her name?” ask Yamcha.
“Erasa.”
“I never pictured you liking blonds Gohan.”
“I don't we're just good friends.” (no offense to any body reading this)
“Alright.” Said Yamcha taking Gohan word as they approach Erasa
“So my friend Gohan here tells me you would like a picture.” Smiled Yamcha
“Ye-Ye-Yeah.” Strutted Erasa.
Quickly getting a camera, Gohan took some pictures and after Yamcha signed them making them out to Erasa.
“See you around Yamcha.”
“See ya Gohan, nice meeting you Erasa.” Said Yamcha as he walked off to be interview for the game.
“You never told me you knew Yamcha.” Said Erasa surprised.
“You never ask. Come on we got a date to finish.” Smirked Gohan
“Right, you think Sharpner saw that?”
“I pretty sure he did.” Said Gohan as they got in the hover jet and headed to the movies.
To Gohan dismay, Erasa had decided on a Romance Movie (just imagine one of you favorites romance movies). Gohan had wanted to sit in the back but Erasa persuaded him to sit in front mentioning that Sharpner wouldn't have anywhere to hide.
It wasn't long after they sat down that Sharpner finally found them.
{You better not try any funny stuff in here Gohan.} thought Sharpner taking a seat in the back
“You're sure you have enough popcorn.” Ask Erasa eyeing the two large buckets of popcorn in his hands.
“Very funny.” replied Gohan sitting down. Pretty soon the movie got on its way and to Gohan surprise the movie wasn't all that bad. Sharpner hadn't notice the movie, all he notice was how close Gohan and Erasa was, and hated every minute of it. At the moment, he was VERY tempted to head down there and break the two up. The movie finish without any interruptions and the two “lovebirds” headed out to eat.
{So far so good, let's just hope they can make it through dinner.} thought Videl as she saw them come out the theater frowning seeing the two hand in hand. So far their plan was working great.
Arriving at the restaurant, the two took a seat in the far corner.
{At least this restaurant isn't in the open; I should be able to see anyone from here.} Thought Vided landing on building nearby. Sharpner though had seated his self on the opposite side of the restaurant but still had a good view. While waiting on their food Erasa decided it was now or never to ask her question.
“Listen Gohan; I was wondering........if there was any chance............that you and Videl.......could become friends.” Ask Erasa slowly.
“You're kidding right, you want me to be friends with THAT girl who not only SPIED on me but tried to BLACKMAIL me as well.” Ask Gohan frowning but still manage to kept his voice low.
“Look I'm not asking you to be best friends {Though I pretty sure Videl wouldn't mind} I'm just asking you to get along with her. After all Videl is one of my best friends.” Pleaded Erasa.
“Right; she's your best friend, not mine.” Stated Gohan
“So we're friends too right.”
“Yeah but I don't see why I have to hang out with her, or why I should be there when you two hang out for that matter.”
“So what, you rather I split time between the two of you?”
“I wouldn't mind.”
“I don't see what the problem- okay I can see the problem but you put up with Sharpner.”
“Everyone puts up with Sharpner.”
“Gohan...........all I'm asking is that you give it a shot. Show her you're better than that. Videl has no other friends besides me and Sharpner.”
“I can see why.”
“Gohan.”
“What's to stop her from continuing trying to blackmail me? You're asking me to try to be friends with someone who had plans of ruining me and my brother's life. Hell who's to say she isn't spying on me right now.”
“Gohan.............Videl told me she never intended to tell the press, she just wanted to scare you into giving her information. And don't be ridiculous she told me herself that she was going to the police station. Come on Gohan, so what she did was stupid and irresponsible, everyone entitled to some mistakes.”
“True, but the prices of some of those mistakes aren't worth it. I should know, it's how I lost my father.” Stated Gohan
The two of them sat in silence for a while each thinking about what the other said.
“Gohan...........all I'm asking is that you try for me. I can't handle having friends who hate each other. It's driving me crazy and I don't want to lose you or Videl but I can't handle this. Will you please just try it?” pleaded Erasa
“...............................................I'll try, but don't count on it working; you really don't know what you're asking me to do.”
“I know that what I'm asking you to do is very difficult especially after what she did. Thanks Gohan, you're a true friend” Said Erasa dropping the subject.
{I tried Videl, but this is the best that I can do.}thought Erasa
Slowly Gohan grabbed Erasa hand and begin tracing their hands together.
“Uh, Gohan what are you doing?”
“We're on a date remember, I pretty sure our conversation has had some unwanted affects to our `friend'.” Smirked Gohan
“Oh, right.”
{Damn it what happen?} thought Sharpner frowning. For a while the two was having what looked like a heated argument and Sharpner was jumping for joy. Now it looked like the two had made up. Pretty soon the food finally arrive and the two enjoyed their meal in silence. After paying the waiter, the couple quickly left the restaurant.
{Well it seemed they enjoyed their self, looks like the Crane Master won't strike tonight. But I better follow them home just in case.} thought Videl as she waited for them to take off. While waiting, she finally noticed Sharpner coming out of the restaurant.
{I can't believe it, Sharpner following them, he really is jealous.}thought Videl laughing.
She was about to go question Sharpner until she reminded her self that she too had been following them and if she confronted Sharpner then her cover would be blown. Deciding to get him later she continued to follow Gohan and Erasa. For a while it looked as if they were heading to Erasa house, until Gohan changed course mid-flight and headed else where.
{Where are they going?} thought Sharpner and Videl.
They soon receive their answer as Gohan pull up to Satan Park. Growling as he entered the park the two quickly got out of the hover jet and headed into the park. After walking half way through the park the two spotted a bench and took a seat. For a while the two did nothing but looked at the stars.
“Is he here yet?” Whispered Erasa.
“No, not yet.” Answered Gohan.
{What are the two of them doing here?} thought Videl as she took a seat in a tree near by as quietly as she could. Finally Gohan spotted Sharpner jumping in a nearby bush.
“He's here, you ready?”
“As ready as I'll ever be.”
Slowly Gohan brought his hands and cupped Erasa face as the two near each other and kiss. Seeing their kiss Videl near fell out of the tree she was hiding in. Sharpner on the other hand could barely control the shriek that left his lips. Gohan and Erasa kiss became deeper and didn't look like they would be breaking apart soon.
{I shouldn't be here, I'm pretty sure Gohan can handle things if something comes up.} thought Videl not wanting to see how far this would go. She was about to jump out the tree when she notice Sharpner charging Gohan and Erasa.
{It's about time.} thought Gohan.
“THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!” shouted Sharpner as he pulled Erasa away from Gohan and punch him in the face.
{OH MY GOD GOHAN GOING TO KILL HIM!!!!} thought Erasa
Gohan though for his part stayed seated. In truth he had expected Sharpner to pulled Erasa away from him but the punch was unexpected. Though for now Gohan would let it slide; now was not the time to knock Sharpner out, but he would be sure that Sharpner would not go unpunished.
“Sharpner calm down, what are you doing here anyway.” Ask Erasa trying to recover her shock. Meanwhile Sharpner was trying to ignore the pain in his right hand.
{Shit my hand feels like I punch a fucking brick wall.} thought Sharpner.
“Following you that's what. What were you thinking making out with Gohan in the park? Have you lost your mind?!”
“No I haven't but you oblivious have.” Quickly grabbling Erasa hand, Sharpner pull Erasa out of ear shot from Gohan (At least he thought it was).
“Is this........truly what you want.........Erasa..........you and Gohan?”
“Yes Sharpner this is what I want. Why would you ask that?”
“Because I...I........ I love you Erasa, I have since junior high...........but I never had the courage to tell you. {Till Gohan came along and took you away from me!} I know it's hard to believe especially with how I acted towards Videl; but it's you I've always love. The reason I never acted like that to you was because it would've killed me to see you reject me. I know I should've said something sooner but-
Sharpner love speech was cut short as Erasa jump on him knocking him to the ground crying with joy.
“I KNEW IT, I WAS RIGHT, YOU DID HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME!” cried Erasa.
“Uhhhh, Erasa what's going on?” ask Sharpner Standing the two of them up.
“Sharpner..............all of this was a setup.”
“A Setup?”
{Setup?} thought Videl
“Yes a set up. You see Sharpner.........I've always had a crush on you, but could never tell how you felt about me. So I ask Gohan to help me set this up. I had to be sure you felt the same as I did.”
“Sooooooo all of this was just a setup to find my true feeling?” ask Sharpner trying to figure everything out.
“Yes Sharpner. I'm sorry if this look like I was playing with your feelings but I had to be sure.”
Sharpner thought about what Erasa said before a smile finally came across his face as he quickly pulled Erasa into a kiss.
“Guess I'll see you two later.” Said Gohan as he headed towards the exit. Though Sharpner and Erasa heard him, the two continue to kiss. As Gohan approach the trees he growled feeling an unwanted presence.
“You can come out now Videl, the show's over.” Replied Gohan looking up in the tree.
“H-How did you know?”
“You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Now would you mind telling me why you were following us? And don't try to deny it either, you've been following us since we were at the game.”
“…………The chief informed me that the Crane Master was spotted in town so I figured he was coming after you; I tried to call Erasa but after receiving no answer I decided to follow you to make sure nothing happen.”
Videl waited for Gohan to reply, but instead he continue to stare at her which really un-nerve her.
{Erasa must have thought I would've gotten mad with Videl calling. That why she said not to worry.} thought Gohan. He had remembered Erasa cell phone going off and her telling him not to worry about it. Deciding not to question Videl any longer Gohan headed on his way.
“Hey Gohan.”
“What?”
“That was a nice thing you did back there helping those two.”
“Humph” replied Gohan as he headed out of the park. Finally coming to the gates, he quickly popped out his hover jet and left. He would have simple flew but didn't want to cause any unwanted attention. He was heading over the park when he heard a shot nearby.
{Shit!} thought Gohan as he saw an object heading his way. Videl, Sharpner and Erasa all looked up as they heard the blast and saw that Gohan hover jet had just blew up.
{GOHAN!!!!!!!!}
{Did I kill him?.} thought the thug. He had only intended for that shot slow Gohan down not kill him.
“Well that was unexpected.” Muttered the thug as he began to smile.
“And so is this.”
The thug turn around just in time to see a foot connected with his head sending him to the ground. Before he had a chance to recover, Gohan had quickly picked him up and slam him to a tree.
“Where's the Crane Gang?” questioned Gohan knowing that there was only one person who could have been behind this.
“Isn't that the million dollar question.” Smirked the thug as he did a terrible job of trying to hide the pain he was feeling.
“I'm not going to ask again.” Said Gohan as he tightened his grip on the thug.
“I really have no idea besides that not the reason why I was sent here?”
“I'm listening.”
“I'm here to warn you not to go looking for Troy and the others, they'll find you soon enough, unless of course you wouldn't mind seeing your lady friends back there dead. You see the Crane Master has put a large bounty on their heads to anyone who can kill them...and you. My guest is that it won't be long before they come. You're just lucky I wasn't hired to do the job.”
{So that's their plan, slow me down while they regroup.} Thought Gohan frowning. Looking up in the sky he noticed Videl jet copter coming landing nearby. He quickly knocked the thug out and hid him before the others arrive.
“Gohan are you okay? What happen?” ask Erasa as she and the others approach him. At the moment she was still trying to figure where Videl had come from. She and Sharpner had met Videl on their way out of the park after seeing the hover jet explode.
“I don't know. One minute I was flying and the next thing I know the computer started saying something about the system overloading. Luckily I wasn't going to fast and so I jump to the nearest tree right before it blew up.” Said Gohan. Though it was a little far fetch, it would have to do. Looking at Videl, he could tell that she didn't buy it one bit. But for the moment she wasn't saying anything.
“Well you don't seem to be injured so there's no need in taking you to the hospital.” Said Sharpner
“Do you have another capsule?”
“No.”
“I'll give him a ride.” Blurted Videl quickly receiving strange glances from the others around her.
“What? Sharpner already has to take you home doesn't he Erasa?” ask Videl
“Yeah-
“So it would be to much of a hassle for him to take both of you, besides I'm pretty sure Gohan `home' is way of the way for Sharpner.” Said Videl knowing she had Erasa.
“Oh right, of course, well we better get going now, see you two later.” Said Erasa as she dragged Sharpner away. After throwing out his capsule the two quickly headed home leaving Gohan and Videl behind. Looking at Gohan, Videl was wondering what he was doing till she saw a man being pulled from the bush.
“I believe this is the guy you should have been looking for.” Said Gohan as he drop the man at her feet.
“Did you find out anything about the Crane Master?” ask Videl as she checked to make sure he was still alive, after which she carried him to the copter to take him to the station.
“Only that's he in hiding for the moment.”
Videl had a feeling that he wasn't telling everything he knew at the moment but decided not to press things.
“Well I guess we should be on our way.”
“That won't be necessary.”
“What why-“Videl stop seeing that Gohan had already took to the sky heading home.
{Forgot about that, at least he could have thank me.} thought Videl frowning.
+++++++++++++++++++
Well that it for this Chapter. Next time Gohan plays bodyguard for Videl and Erasa. And the Crane Gang operation is complete.
On another note, I'm seeing a lot of visit but no reviews. PLEASE REVIEW. (n.n)
