Someone to watch over me…


Goku's heart dropped when he heard Bulma blurt out his wife's name. His wife and son meant the world to him and if anything happened to them because he wasn't there, he wouldn't be able to live with himself ever again. Without thinking twice he leapt into the air, taking flight towards the mansion where he left his wife and son.

Bulma stood in shock watching Goku lift off the ground and shoot away rapidly from them. She truly didn't mean to upset Goku by blurting out ChiChi's name, but it was the only person she could think of and she couldn't have anything bad happen to her friends or herself after everything that's happened since the stalker decided to get closer to her instead of leaving notes.

She felt Vegeta's arm envelope her waist, drawing her near his body. Standing face to face, she closed her eyes leaning her forehead against his shoulder finding comfort from the small things Vegeta did. She could feel his warm breath near her ear, his voice soft, exotic words flowing off his tongue in a language she didn't understand, but the words soothed her more then anything could. The moment came to an end when Piccolo's voice broke through the night air.
"I think we need to head back to the mansion, just incase Goku needs us." Vegeta remained silent, but pulled Bulma towards the limo where Krillin was waiting to take them back.

Jessica white knuckled the dashboard of her own car as Tien drove through the crowded Satan City streets. Tien was a very good driver, minus the few close calls he had with running some red lights.
"We're almost there, I think you can slow down." She hissed out through stress-clenched teeth. Tien looked over to the red head, noticing he was striking fear into her with just his driving alone. He cringed a little before backing his foot off the accelerator.
"Sorry about that, I just haven't driven that way in a long time. What a rush." He grinned over to her, her hands finally pried away from the dash.
"Either you'd be a good cop driving like that, or ship your ass to America and have you drive those race cars there." Tien gave a lighthearted chuckle to the thought but dismissed it quickly.
"Naaa, I like working for Bulma too much to leave her service." Jessica gave him a curtly nod before she recognized the area.
"Hang a left up at the next street. That liquor store should be two blocks down." She pointed out to the street, her hands finally stopped shaking, the words of warning from the stalker pushed back in the furthest recesses of her mind at the moment.

On the other side of town, the words of warning rang shallow in the minds of the guards that escorted Bulma home in the limo. Bulma closed her eyes, the headache still clinging to her roughly as Krillin drove. Even with her eyes closed, Bulma could sense Vegeta's eyes on her, looking her body over. With a heavy sigh, she opened her eyes to look at him, his arms crossed over his chest with the most intense scowl on his face. She learned over the past months the only way to read Vegeta's true emotions were by his eyes. The scowl was almost a permanent feature that changed from time to time, but the deep black eyes where hard to hide what he truly felt.
"What did you whisper to me?" She asked softly, his stature remaining the same. He blinked before actually shifting his gaze to her face.
"Nothing important onna." Her lips pouted slightly at him rejecting to tell her.
"What ever it was, it was beautiful. Was it your native language?" She got a nod for her answer and nothing more. She hated it when he wouldn't answer her straight.
"Oh, wish I knew what you said. I just hope it wasn't a death threat or anything."
"If it was a death threat onna, you'd would of known it." Vegeta slipped his eyes closed from the remainder of the trip. He had too much on his mind at the moment, and the onna was distracting him of his thinking.

Panic rose in ChiChi's throat as she rose from the high back leather chair at the desk. Her only thoughts were of getting Gohan out of the house with her. Marshmallow growled as she followed ChiChi out of the study and up the stairs to get to the spare bedroom she had sent Gohan earlier.
"Gohan!" She shouted as she entered the room. The sleepy boy shot up in bed, rubbing his eyes wildly to see his mother standing in front of him.
"What? What's the matter Mom?" He asked with a yawn in his voice.
"We need to get out of here and now. Come on, don't waste time either." She reached out and snagged the boy by his pajama shirt and hoisted him out of the bed and dragging him down the stairs with her. Gohan wanted to protest to her that he could walk perfectly fine, but chose not to at the moment with the look on her face. The little white fuzz ball followed right behind them, trying to manage the stairs the best she could for being such a small dog.
"What's going on Mom? Tell me!" Gohan finally yelled out as ChiChi stopped to push open the heavy sliding glass door on the side of the house facing her guest home just across the property.
"Don't question me Gohan, we have to get out of here before something bad happens."

Goku never looked back after he took off into the skies. He poured on the speed, racing to save the lives of his family before the evil hand of the stalker snuffed them out. Everything was a hazy blur as he sped over treetops and weaved in and around tall buildings on his way to the spacious property of Bulma's on the outskirts of the city.
"What if I'm too late? What will happen if I don't make it there in time? Oh Kami help me please, I can't think like this." Goku spoke with fretfulness in his voice. With newfound energy, he pushed himself faster as the tiny dot of the mansion emerged on the horizon. Floodlights dotted the property giving it an almost eerie glow from the altitude Goku was flying at before descending quickly to the ground. In a blink of an eye, Goku had managed to catch a glimpse of ChiChi and his young son darting from the back of the house going straight for their own home.
"ChiChi stop!" Goku shouted as his black dress shoes finally hit the dew-covered grass. His wife froze where she was when she heard the voice of her husband coming from the right of her. Gohan smiled upon seeing his father jogging towards them.
"Don't go into the house…" Goku panted out as he swept ChiChi into his arms. Gohan looked from bother his mother and father then back at the house.
"The stalker was here wasn't he?" He asked quietly to his parents. ChiChi was flabbergasted; she didn't think Gohan would pick up on it that fast.
"We need to get out of here. Vegeta and Bulma should be here soon. We'll just leave with them." Goku mumbled out after a heavy sigh, relief flooding over his conscious that his family was still safe.
"Let me grab a few things from our house Goku, won't take me but a minute." ChiChi whispered back, caressing Goku's cheek briefly before walking towards their home. ChiChi's request didn't register with him until she was almost to the front door.
"No Chi wait!"

Red and blue light bars flashed, lighting the block surrounding the liquor store like a beacon. Jessica had her seatbelt off and the door cracked open before Tien actually stopped her car.
"Just stay with the car, I'll be back." Jessica spoke quickly before slamming the door shut on the car and letting her legs take her as fast as they could in heels to the crowd of uniformed officers. Flashing her badge to squeeze by the already growing crowd of on lookers, She finally made it inside to get the details of what happened.
"Wait Miss you can't come in here."
"Want to make a bet Charlie? Let me by."
"I'm sorry Detective, I didn't recognize you." The uniformed officer stumbled out a quick apology and stepped aside so she could get to the Officer in charge of the scene.

"About time you showed your face Northly. Where the hell have you been?" Jessica slunk back at the reprimanding she was receiving from her superior officer.
"Car problems sir won't happen again."
"Better not, Mackay got shot." Jessica stood cold, no emotions showing on the outside, but her brain was cheering.
"I'm sorry, will he be alright?"
"The prick? Sure he will. He got shot in the ass." Her eye twitched, her lips curving upwards into a cockeyed smile before she lost it and roared with laughter.
"I find nothing about this funny detective."
"I find it funny as hell, the putz deserved it! Too bad the bullet didn't take a nut along with it. I can't stand working with him" The officer in charge glared at her as she continued to laugh and carry on.
"He's your partner Northly, need I remind you that you are fresh out of school and Mackay is a veteran of the department for over fifteen years?"
"Veteran of what? Waiting in line at the Dunkin Donuts?"
"That's it Northly, week vacation with out pay. I don't expect to see you until next week." She stifled her laughter for a moment before handing over her service revolver and badge.
"Don't worry about filling out the paperwork for it sir, I quit!" Jessica smiled at everyone before turning around with a spring in her step and walking out the door towards the car.

Tien sat watching everyone coming and going from the store when he spotted her coming back towards the car with a smile that could launch a thousand ships.
"Things not that bad in there?" Tien questioned her as she got into the car and beamed a smile at him.
"I just quit, I can't believe it." Tien's face vaulted at her announcement. She seemed unfazed at what she had just done with her career.
"You what?"
"I just threw away eight years of college and the police academy just now. Gawd my father is going to kill me. You think Bulma is hiring right now?" She asked innocently, batting her eyelashes. Tien snickered before shaking his head.
"I could always use a partner to ride shotgun. Besides, Krillin and Piccolo aren't real pretty to look at." Jessica blushed slightly as the car pulled away from the curb.

ChiChi froze when her husband's voice shouted at her. She was just inches from opening the front door to the guesthouse when it came. He motioned to her with his hand for her to come back to where he was standing, with careful steps, she made her way back to her husbands side.
"What's the matter?"
"This." Goku said plainly as he charged a small blast in his right hand sending it towards the guesthouse. ChiChi had screeched, her eyes widening to watch the ki blast sail across the yard and hit the home straight on.
"What the hell did you just do to our home?" She screamed at him, but he did not budge an inch as his eyes watched the house blow up. Seconds after the impact of the small ki blast, a bigger blast from inside erupted sending giant black billowy smoke upwards into the night sky with flames licking their way up to join the smoke. Shards of timber and bricks blew in every direction sending everyone to the ground to take cover.
"I saved your life. That's what I did." Goku whispered to his wife as she raised her head from the damp grass.
