Gohan awoke the next morning with a slight headache and a sore body. He was much too big for the sofa and come to think about it, he didn't remember falling asleep there anyway. Stretching the tight muscles on his back; he made his way to the bathroom.

His mind was foggy, but he could still remember why he was so sad. Videl had quit chasing him and now he had no one to cops and robbers with anymore. A deep sigh escaped his lips before he went to the sink to wash his hands and then splash water upon his face.

" Why won't this damn lock open?"

Gohan blinked away the water from his eyelashes before he decided to go check out the sudden outburst and the person who caused it. He gasped softly to himself as he stepped into the hall and saw the person responsible for the noise.

Videl growled as she tugged at the door with force, but the clanging of the lock and the bowing of the door was all she received for her efforts. She let go of the handle and grinded her teeth in frustration.

"...Videl? What are you doing here?"

The girl in question; turned to see the large male standing at the end of the hall, staring at her. For a moment it seemed that the heated girl had lost her tongue, but she shook of the disbelief off. " Gohan? What are you doing here?"

"...I live here now. And you?"

" I'm moving in if the damn door will let me." Videl growled before kicking the plane of wood; leaving a small and shallow dent in it.

" Doesn't your key work?" Gohan asked as he approached his friend and gently took her box of belongings from her.

" If it did, I wouldn't be out here." She sighed as she tried the metal key again and jiggled the object to show her friend her point. " It feels like there's something in there."

Gohan tilted his head in thought, then sighed before taking a deep breath and blew hard into the lock. A small tink was heard as he blew. " I think that did it, Vi."

" Thanks. Now you can carry my box while I make us some tea." Videl smirked as she handed him the slightly heavy box and opened the door to her own place.

Gohan followed her inside and smiled as he took in the simple yet modern decore that made up the place. " Why are you moving out of your dad's place? And in an apartment even?"

" I needed my own space and this is closer to the school." She explained as she walked into the kitchen and started a small pot of water to boil. " I can ask you the same."

" I moved in with the sisters so I can be closer to school. Mom said it was about time I started my own life." Gohan smiled as he thought of how close they lived to one another.

" Cool."

Gohan watched as her shoulders seemed to slump and her stance wasn't as strong as it normally was. " what's wrong, Vi? You look so...run down."

" I am, Gohan. I can't keep chasing that asshole at night and all the losers by day. It seems like everyone thinks they can get away with crimes now since Knight made his appears three years ago." She snarled at the thought.

" Can't the police do something about the daytime crimes...like they're supposed to?"

" Everything is underfunded and underemployed. They just don't have the man power right now." Videl suddenly hugged Gohan and buried her face in his shoulder. " I'm just so tired, Gohan. I wish something would change."

Gohan was shocked at first; thinking that this was merely a dream but when he softly laid his hands upon her frame and she didn't disappear like she had done so many times before in his dreams, he knew that this was real. " Oh, Videl...I wish I could change it for you."

" I know..." She sighed as she pulled herself from his embrace and smiled at him as she went to go make the tea.

Gohan sighed as she left the room. He didn't know he was putting so much pressure on her and all for his own pleasure too. He felt like such an ass right now, but things were going to change...things were going to change for the better...for the both of them.

~ Later that Night, at the Mall ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Knight smirked as he shoved another game into his knapsack. The new detective hadn't shown up yet and he was getting tired of waiting. Knight decided to pull out some of the games he collected and began to read their covers, when he was done with that, he began to read the others before taking them.

" Stop right there!"

Knight turned to see a chubby man holding a gun at him and was panting hard. Any hope for a fun night seemed to die away as fast as that man seemed to drive away any girl he saw. " Who are you?"

" I am detective Buns! Now, drop the game and place your hands on your head!" Buns shouted but then spotted the game. " Is that the new Sword Master game? I didn't know it was out!"

" Yeah, I'm getting the special bonus pack. It sounds like it'd be fun to play." Knight smiled as he scanned the back cover again. " It says here that it has a completely new map system and weapon forging system too."

" I know! I've been waiting for it to come out for months! I can't believe it's finally here!" Buns sang as he drooled over the video game in Knight's hands.

" I've got a question for you before I go. Why is the department so underfunded?" Knight asked as he placed the game in his sack and twirled his cane.

" Why should I tell you!" Buns yelled as he strengthened his shooting arm

" Because I asked nicely. Isn't that enough?" Knight asked back as he shoved the game into his sack and twirled his cane.

" ...Well...you aren't being rude or anything...and we gamers do have to look out for one another...So I'll tell you." The man smiled and lowered his gun. " There's a gang that's been around for a few years now that is super dangerous. To be blunt, they have us by the balls."

" Are they really that bad?" Knight asked. He had never heard of a gang like this and that had him a bit concerned. A gang that can keep themselves hidden from other gangs was one to respect and sometimes even fear.

" I'm afraid so. There was a time that we tried to bring them down , but they would just keep killing the officers involved. They go by the name ' Untamable' and they offered us a deal we couldn't refuse. We have to keep paying them half our funds!"

Knight was taken back at this; there was no one this was true...right? " Why...Why hasn't Videl done anything about this?"

" She doesn't know about it. The whole department doesn't really know about it; I myself found out by mistake." Buns sighed has he rubbed his thinning hair.

Knight sighed, but he then smiled. " Thanks! I'll see you later. Oh! Can you give Videl a message for me?"

~ Next Morning ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Videl sighed as she walked into the game store of the robbed mall; upon walking into the place she knew she was called out for a reason.

" Oh, thank goodness you're here, Videl!" Detective Buns sighed as he hung from the ceiling of the store. " That guy is so strong! And very handy with knots!"

" What happened, buns? I picked and trained you myself to catch Knight and this is what happens?" Videl sighed as she rubbed her eyes of sleep and shame.

" Well...he didn't seem all that mean and he was quite nice really. He asked for you, by the way and even kept me here to make sure you got this letter he wrote." He watched as his boss took the letter that Knight gently worked between the ropes that held him. " Is it a love note? Can I read it?"

Videl blushed madly before she roughly grabbed the rope and spun it; sending the geek into a dizzy frenzy. She rested her eyes on the letter and the neat, elegant writing before she forced herself to read the text.

Dear Videl and Detective Buns,

I was quite saddened to not see you Videl, but I must thank you for at least sending Mr. Buns to entertain me for the night. It seems that we share some common interests even!

However, I am still displeased by the fact that you would just leave me like that; of course, this was before I realized why you had left. It seems that my runs of success have inspirited many a common folk to try their hands at our game and it is up to you to catch them all.

You have my most sincere of apologies and I will try to fix the problem as soon as possible. This may take some time, so I must ask for you and Mr. Buns to have some faith in me like I have in you.

Your's Truly,

Knight.

P.S. Look in your mailbox when you arrive home, Mr. Buns...

Videl finished the letter and quickly glared at the hanging man, who seemed to be waiting to read the note himself. " What the hell happened last night?"

" We were talking mostly...before he had to go and hang me up that is." Buns sighed as he wiggled his nose. " Can you scratch my nose? I have an itch."

" No!"
