It was a rainy day in West City. Lightning lit up the sky as thunder boomed through the air. As the rain poured down on this gloomy day, people scattered into nearby shops for shelter. Cars pulled off the road into parking lots or sidewalks because the drivers couldn't see through the thick down pour. A certain black Honda Civic pulled into a coffee shop parking lot. The driver turned off the car and relaxed in his seat.

'Maybe I should run in the shop for some coffee and muffins...who knows how long this storm might last.' He thought.

He didn't have an umbrella or anything to shield him from the rain, so he decided to run. The man opened the car door and got out with speed, he closed the door and locked his car, then ran into the coffee shop. He shook his hair a little bit to get some water droplets out. He lined up behind a blonde to order. He raised an eye brow, he knew her!

"Marron?"

The blonde turned around and smiled at him. "Goten it's so good to see you!" She cheered.

Marron opened her arms as Goten pulled her for a hug. After they let go Marron was called next to order.

"One sec." She said as she turned around. "A medium Mocha with a large chocolate muffin please."

The cashier nodded and got Marron's coffee and muffin. Marron paid and stepped aside so Goten can order.

"I'll have a Decaf with three large muffins. Two chocolate and one blueberry. Thank you." Goten said.

The cashier handed Goten his coffee and muffins and Goten left the money on the counter. Marron motioned for Goten to join her at a small table.

They sat down and got comfortable. "So what brings you to this side of West City Goten?" Marron asked as she opened the plastic around her muffin.

"I actually just finished work, I was heading down to my mom's restaurant on Forest street but this storm stopped me." Goten said, then took a sip of his coffee. "How about you? Gonna go see Trunks?"

"No, actually I was heading home from Capsule Corp. but the storm stopped me too." Marron said. "How are things? It's been a while."

"It has been a while, and everything's good. How about you?" Goten asked as he opened up one of his muffins.

"I'm good, being a house wife is hard work but it pays off at the end of the day." Marron then took a sip of her coffee.

"I'm sure it does." He said as he wiggled his eye brows.

Marron rolled her eyes and shook her head. "You're still the same Goten." She laughed.

Goten laughed as well. "Trunks and the kids?"

"Trunks is pretty stressed out lately, poor guy can't decide if he should open a Capsule Corp. branch in Pine. It would be a lot of money." Marron said.

"Yeah it would be a lot of money." Goten agreed.

"The kids are fine. Maven just started High school. Vegeta is starting to train Tate and Valley started first grade. Valley really misses you Goten, she hasn't seen you since her sixth birthday." Marron said.

"That's true, I'll have to stop by one day and spend some time with the kids." Goten said then took a sip of his coffee.

By now the storm died down and they finished their coffee and muffins. "Well Goten it was nice seeing you again. But now I gotta go home, Maven should be home in about ten minutes." Marron said.

They got up and hugged again. "It was nice seeing you too Mar, I'll see you later." Goten said as they pulled away.

They walked out of the coffee shop into the moist air. "Bye Goten." Marron waved as she turned left.

"See ya Marron." Goten waved back. Goten walked down to his car and unlocked it.

Before he got in the driver'a seat, he heard a loud crash sound coming from Marron's direction. He looked over to Marron's car and saw smoke coming rising from beneath the hood. He saw Marron get out of the car and open up the hood. She coughed as more smoke came out.

He closed his car door and walked over to her. "What happened?"

Marron looked up at him and shrugged. "I just started the car, heard a loud noise then saw smoke coming out of the engine." Marron said. She sighed and held her head. "How am I gonna get home now?"

"Well I could give you a ride, you could get your car towed to a mechanic." Goten suggested.

"Yeah, I can call my insurance company and have a tow truck come. Thanks Goten I owe you one." Marron said.

"No you don't, come on." Goten said as he walked toward his car.

Marron put the hood down on her car and walked over to Goten's car. They got in and Goten started up his car, then they drove off to her house. During the ride, Marron felt as if she forgot something. She had no luck remembering what it was so she shrugged it off, thinking it was something harmless.

About 10 minutes later Goten pulled into a suburban community.

"Which house was it again?" Goten asked.

"3492, it's just after the left turn up ahead." Marron said.

Goten nodded and pulled into the drive way. "Thank you so much Goten." Marron said as she gave him a side hug.

Goten hugged her back and peck her on the cheek. "Good luck with the car, say hi to Trunks and kids for me." Goten said as she got out of the car.

"Will do, bye!" She waved, then closed the door.

Goten pulled out of the drive way and drove off. Marron walked up to the front door and dug in her pockets for her keys.

"...Damn it! I knew I forgot something! It must be in the car." Marron sighed. "Might as well call the tow truck."

She reached into her back pocket for her phone, but before she could, a cold hand wrapped around her mouth and lower body. She was then pulled aside into the bushes.

"AHHHHH!" Marron shrieked as she was being dragged. The shrieked was muffled by the person's hand, but it was still loud enough to piss the person off.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Growled the person, using their hand to cover her mouth. Marron squirmed and bit on the person's hand.

The unnamed person snatched their hand back. As the napper was distracted, Marron staggered to her feet. Even though she was blinded by her tears and was shaking she manage to flee a few feet before being grabbed by the hair.

The blonde spun around and noticed the masked napper had dark eyes and dark hair. She balled her hands into a fist, aiming for the napper's nose.

"You're gonna have to do better than that." The person snickered pushing Marron into the wet and muddy grass. Once again, she tried to get up, but was quickly stopped when two cold, wet hands wrapped around her throat.

Salty tears began to surface her face. As it became harder to breathe. The only thing on her mind was her family. She wondered why notice her Kai in distress.

"Night night blondie."

Marron's blue eyes shut and her body went limp. Her attack quickly released and checked for a pulse. The person satisfied, it was faint, but it was there.

The attacker got up, humming a tune as he/she scanned the are just incase anyone heard Marron's cries.

Ten minutes past and the coast was clear. After putting on a fresh par of latex gloves, the attacker lifted Marron's body up and swung her over their shoulder.

It was a short walk to the black van. The person popped the back door, tossing Marron in like it was nothing.

Before shutting the back door. The attacker looked at how she laid. She was dirty and bruised up. Her once straight blonde hair, was now frizzy and more brown than blonde.

The napper grinned and slammed the door shut. "You Belongs to me now Marron Briefs."

Meanwhile...

Goten had just arrived home, ready to take a nap when his stomach started talking to him.

He did the Son trademark smile and ran his hands through his black spiky hair. "Looks like I'm hungry again."

Living with a mother that cooked 90% percent of the time, you picked up a few recipes. Goten's favorite, and the quickest, was noodles.

Nine minutes passed and Goten was sitting in front of TV eating his noodles. Seconds passed and his phone went off.

'B-chan'

Goten smirked, happy to see it was one of his best friends.

"Moshi Moshi"

"Goten! I haven't seen you in forever!"

"It's been a day and a half B."

"Like I said, forever."

Goten laughed. "Maybe we can meet up tomorrow."

"Or today?"

"But I'm tired!"

"I'm tired too. I haven't gotten my first case yet! All they make me do is paper work! It's boring!"

"Don't worry B, you'll get one soon enough."

He could tell she was rolling her eyes. "If you say so. So you are coming over, right?"

"Sorr-"

"Please! Y'know how I feel about driving in the rain! I can barely see! Do you want me to die?"

Goten sighed in defeat, Bra was an expert at persuading people.

"Fine, I'm on my way."

"Yay! Thanks Go-chan!"

Goten laughed a bit before ending the phone call. The youngest Son me ever scarfed down the rest of his noodles and grabbed his keys. As he walked to the door his phone went off again.

He frowned. Why was his boss calling? He just got off work!

"Hello Mr. Tanaka."

"Goten get your ass here, your niece got sick and she had to leave."

"B-but why can't Idasa, Sharpner, Uub, or Erasa do it? I have plans!"

"Because I asked you. You have ten minutes to get here or you're fired."

Before Goten could protest his boss violently hung up on him.

"Sick my ass." Goten scoffed, redialing Bra's number.

Goten didn't believe for one second that Pan was sick. Saiyans never get sick. She probably just pretended so she could go out with her latest boy-toy. Pan owed him big time.

"Hey B?"

"Yeah? You're coming right?"

"Well...my boss just called." Goten began. "If I don't go fill in for Pan in the next ten minutes I'm fired, sorry B."

Bra sighed on the other end, she really wanted to see him. "It's fine, Pan is probably off on a date. So tomorrow then?"

"Tomorrow I promise."

"Okay, bye Goten, see you tomorrow."

"Bye B." Goten said as he hung up.

Goten took a deep breath and walked back out of his house.

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Valley chanted as she bounced up and down in her booster seat. The six-year-old was the spitting image of her mother, and had the same positive personality. She also had her father's energetic personality when he was a child.

Tate rolled his eyes and turned up the volume on his phone. The sixth grader looked more like grandfathers with his jet black hair. But he did inherit his parents icy blue eyes. Tate acted like a younger version of his dad. He was always playing pranks.

The black Cherokee pulled into the the front of Orange Star High School.

"Hey Daddy look at Mavie! He's with that pretty girl!" Valley exclaimed.

Trunks rolled down the window, smirking at his son as he nervously talked to the brunette female.

Tate snickered and rolled down his window sticking his head out. "OOO MAVEN KILL EM"

"MAVIE, WHO'S THAT PRETTY GIRLY YOU'RE WITH!" Valley shouted.

Maven'a cheeks turned bright red as he glared at his family in the car.

"Is that your little sister, Mavie?" The girl asked, stretching out his nickname.

"I'll call you tonight Vanessa." Muttered the pissed off teen as he trotted to the family car, ready to kill his annoying little brother. Valley would be a victim as well if it wasn't for his farther and his over protective grandfathers.

"How was school?" Trunks asked as he laughing a bit.

Maven answered with the trademark response known by all teen. "Okay. I was suppose to take the bus today, you ruined everything."

"Well sorry for being good father." Trunks responded in a sarcastic tone.

Maven had dark purple spiky hair that was brushed froward. He had onyx color eyes, and was the lady-killer of OSHS. He had developed his father's charm when he was a teen. But deep down, he was a mama's boy.

Twenty minutes passed and they arrived home. Tate immediacy skipped into the living room, ready to play video games until dinner (GTA5).

Valley was explaining every second of her day to her eldest brother until they made it to his room, where he slammed the door in her face, making her bawl.

"Mommy! Mommy! Mavie Waviee is being a big fat meanie!" The girl cried as she ran down the hall to her parent's room. She opened the door only to find it empty and absolutely silent.

Valley turned back around and ran down the stairs to the kitchen, where her father could always be found.

"Daddy, where's Mama?" Valley asked.

With his mouthful of last night's dinner the purple hair man looked down at his daughter before swallowing the food in his mouth. "I'll call her now sweetie."

"Okay." Valley said as she ran into the living room.

Trunks dialed Marron's number, the phone rang and rang, but no answer. Trunks raised an eyebrow. 'She always answers her phone.' He thought.

He dialed again, still no answer. "That's weird." Trunks said as looked down at his phone. He decided to text her.

Hey babe where r u?

He tapped the send button and set his phone down on the granite counter top.

'Marron did go somewhere... but where would she go?' Trunks thought. 'Maybe she went to Bra's house.'

Trunks picked up his phone and dialed his little sister.

"Hey Bra?"

"Hey bro what's up? When are you gonna bring my niece and nephews over? I miss them!" Bra rambled.

"Bra listen! Is Marron at your place? She's not answering her phone." Trunks said.

"No she's not, maybe she's at mom's or Krillin's." Bra suggested.

"Yeah maybe...thanks Bra." Trunks said.

"No problem." She said.

Trunks hung up and dialed his mom.

"Hello?"

"Hey mom is Marron there?"

"No she's not, why?" Bulma asked.

"She's not answering her phone and she's usually home when the kids and I are." Trunks said.

"Oh well she's not here sorry." Bulma said.

"It's fine thanks anyway." Trunks said.

"You're welcome son." Bulma said.

They hung up and Trunks dialed Krillin.

"Hello?"

"Hey Krillin."

"Trunks! Good to hear from you how's everything?" Krillin asked.

"Everything's good Krillin, is Marron over there?" Trunks asked.

"No she's not, why?"

"She's not answering her phone." Trunks said.

"Oh, well I don't know what to say...uhh...maybe call the others?" Krillin suggested.

"Yeah...I guess I can do that, thanks Krillin."

"No problem."

They hung up and Trunks took a deep breath. 'Where could she be?' He thought.
