A Love Lost 2

Chapter 13

"Where are you staying at, still in that hotel down the street," Pan asked taking a seat in the cafeteria across from where Austin had already sat. The case had been on delay for weeks now, the man they were waiting to get statements from had fallen into a coma after the surgery and Austin was stuck waiting. The bureau had debated about flying him back home but figured it would be better keeping him there to watch over things and look for clues.

"Yeah still in that shit hole," he smirked at her before taking a bite out of his turkey sandwich he had purchased for lunch that day. This had become part of the routine when Pan worked; they would have lunch or dinner together and just talk with each other; catch up on the different lives they were both leading now. At first Pan was still hesitant that he was here, that he had shown up into her life again, out of the blue; but after they began talking more, finding their friendship once again, she realized he was truly happy in the life he had back home, the family that was on its way.

Bra sighed as she checked the clock once more, she was waiting for the kids to get themselves dressed; she had to have them at the daycare inside Capsule Corporations main building today. She had a meeting with a few big shots from her Mother's company with Trunks and Pan and Gohan were both working; it never failed when they all needed a babysitter no one was available. Trunks was in the same boat as her, their parents were on vacation and Goku and Chi-Chi had gone with them.

It was hard not having Goten around, even though it had only been a week she realized that trying to be a single parent was a lot harder than she thought. Trying to control a five and six year old was more stress than she ever thought, she never really understood how much more they listened to their father.

"Come on guys," she yelled up the stairs, she could hear feet pitter pattering around on the wood floors and before she could say another word Geta came flying down the stairs with Callie behind him. "I don't wanna go to that stupid day care mom," her son complained, giving her a very unhappy look. She ruffled his hair and looked to Callie who was equally displeased.

"It's going to be fun and I am only going to be gone for a couple hours," she stated before grabbing her keys from the table behind her.

"Why can't we go to Uncle Trunks or Uncle Gohan's," the boy now had an angry scowl on his face and Bra was taken aback by it; it reminded her so much of her father's displeased scowl.

"Listen, I would let you go there if they were home, but Uncle Trunks is going to be with me and Uncle Gohan is working; Grandma and Grandpa are on vacation so you have to go," she shook her head dropping down to her knees so she could be at his level; "Just go and have fun, you know you will once you get there and besides I think I know another boy who will be down there with you."

"Who," both children asked now looking at their mother, waiting for an answer. Bra smirked at the two kids whose attitudes could be quickly swayed, "Chase has to be their too." Geta let a huge smile over take his face, nothing could go wrong now that his best friend was going to be there with him and Callie just shrugged, it wasn't who she was hoping, she wanted Sammie to be going but Videl was visiting her father with her for the day.

"Come on we got to go, Mommy's going to be late and Uncle Trunks is going to be mad," she stood up and opened the door, letting the kids run out, she armed the security system and shut the door behind her; she got the kids buckled in and was out the driveway in a record time, there was no fighting over seats today and she was thrilled about that.

"Alright buddy, I'll be back to get you in a few hours," Trunks said patting the boy on the head, "Be good, don't fight with anyone like last time alright." He chuckled as his son just nodded and looked around at the few kids who were scattered throughout the play area; he had been forced to stay here twice before while his father worked and the last time he got in trouble for punching a kid in the face.

Trunks eyed the clock on the wall and was worried that Bra wasn't going to make it; he looked around and didn't see Geta or Callie running around the play area and shook his head, knowing his non punctual sister, she would be late. "Alright buddy, I'll see you in a bit," Trunks waved to Chase and headed to the front desk, signing the paper that let Chase stay for the few hours he would be gone. "Hello Mr. Briefs," the secretary cooed behind the desk, flashing him a large smile and batting her eye lashes at him.

"Hey Carly," he smiled back and quickly filled out the form; every time he was in here he had to deal with her flirting up a storm at him.

"Your son is getting so big, he is so handsome," she smiled again watching as he filled out the document, "He looks just like his daddy." Trunks couldn't help but blush and finished jotting down the information.

"Listen I'll be back in a few hours I have a meeting upstairs today; when my sister gets here tell her to hurry up," he nodded as she happily obliged and before she could say another word he was gone. She smirked watching him watch away, he was so hot and she had been trying to pursue him for years; she couldn't help but let her mind wander to some dirty thoughts about him but snapped out of it when she heard a voice right in front of her.

"Mrs. Son," she faked a smile as the blue haired woman approached the desk, her relationship with her boss' sister was the complete opposite. "Mr. Briefs told me to inform you that you are late and that you need to hurry," she smirked knowing Bra would not be happy with Trunks angry at her.

"Shit alright," Bra swore at no one as she turned to say good bye to her kids; but she found no one standing behind her, they had already taken off to play. She spotted Geta standing with Chase and Callie in the corner with another girl with the dolls; she shrugged and headed out to the elevators, dreading this meeting the whole time.

She hadn't had to attend a meeting in a long time; her brother ran the show she was just the Vice President when he needed her to be. She showed up when they were trying to win over a new company or persuade a large buyer they needed to purchase their new product, she wasn't sure what this meeting was about. She rode the elevator up in silence, listening to the horrible music that played through the speaker above her and when the door opened she was greeted by a very agitated looking Trunks who was leaning against the wall of his office.

"Nice of you to show up," he stated looking down at his watch.

"Shut up I am like five minutes late, I don't even see anyone else here yet," she spat back at him, knowing he enjoyed giving her any kind of grief he could. "I'm glad you brought Chase here today, Geta was not a happy camper this morning, he gave me the worst look, it reminded me of dad."

Trunks laughed at the thought, "My kid looks like dad every day, how do you think that makes me feel," he shook his head, "You should see when he gets mad it is like dad's spawn."

Bra giggled at her brother imitations of her nephew and shook her head thinking of all the similarities between the two, "So what's this about?" She was confused though when Trunks shrugged and a worried look took over his face, "I don't know, I just got an email from the Owner of Shiner Reality and he said we needed to meet A.S.A.P."

"Aren't they like the number one seller of the Capsule houses," Bra asked still confused as to what this was about; Trunks nodded matching her look. Before another thought could be broadcasted the elevator dinged and two suits walked out, they were both smiling and extended a hand to the two owners of Capsule Corporation. Trunks ushered them into his office and Bra followed shutting the door behind them for privacy, she was praying that this was something good and they weren't trying to back out of their contract.

"Welcome to Capsule Corporations day care, can I help you," Carly asked the woman standing in front of her desk, the woman was looking around at all the children and pointed to one in the far corner. Carly immedietly could see the resemblance in the two and realized that this must be the real mother of Callie.

"I'm here to pick up my daughter," she smiled brightly and looked back to Carly. "Her step mother dropped her off here until I could get her." Carly nodded and went to grab the paper that Bra had filled out but stopped when she realized she had forgot to hand it to her; she had tried to get her out of here as fast as possible.

"What's your name m'am," Carly asked looking at the blonde haired woman who was standing in front of her, she would have to call upstairs and get a hold of Bra.

"Paris," she cooed, she turned her attention back to the girl, "Callie," she yelled getting the attention of the young girl; as soon as Callie saw her mother she jumped to her feet and bolted across the room right into her arms.

"Can you tell this nice woman who I am," Paris asked picking her daughter up off the floor, holding her in her arms. Callie looked behind the desk to Miss White and smiled, "This is my mommy," she through her hands around her neck and squeezed. Carly nodded and figured it would be easier to just let her take her daughter then have to deal with getting Trunks pissed for interrupting the meeting.

"I can see the resemblance, you two look like you could be sisters," Carly was sucking up to the woman for no good reason, "Can you just sign this miss, stating that you picked her up and I need to see your driver's license," Carly reached into her desk and pulled out a piece of paper, she put it on top of the desk and handed Paris a pen to sign, which she did with no questions asked, she then reached into her purse and pulled out her I.D, handing it to the helpful and stupid woman in front of her.

"I just need to make a copy of this I'll be right back," she smiled and walked into the back room where the copy machine was held, she made two copies, putting one in the file in the back and taking one back out with her, but when she stepped out of the room the woman and child were gone.

"Hm," she shrugged putting the paper down on her desk with the drivers license on top of it, she took her seat and went back to going through the documents on her computer, trying to get some sort of organization in place.

A few hours later the meeting had finally ended and they had said their farewells to the two owners of Shiner Reality. Bra walked over and dropped onto the couch Trunks had in his office and Trunks leaned back in his chair, putting his feet up on the desk. "Well that could have been bad," Bra stated reaching back and undoing her pony tail, letting her blue locks flow down to the middle of her back.

"Yeah that could have been bad; if they would have pulled out from us we would have lost a big chunk of income," he stated letting out a equally frustrated sigh. "But they didn't and they are still in business with us so we win," he chuckled.

"Yeah for now anyways, their contract is up when two more years," she asked standing up, grabbing her purse from the table.

"Don't worry about it Bra," he shrugged, "We got time and by then we will hopefully have the company Goten is after right now."

Bra nodded in agreement and looked to her brother, "You wanna go get the kids and get some food; Geta and Callie want to see you," she smiled, as much as her brother drove her crazy she didn't know how she would have managed without him; she was never interested in this business and thankfully he was, he always tried to keep her involved but it was nice he did it mostly on his own.

"Yeah I'm sure this is going to turn into a sleep over situation anyways, those two haven't seen each other in what four days," he laughed, getting himself up out of the chair and following Bra out the door. They headed into the elevator and took it down, making small talk about the kids and where they should go for lunch and when the elevator opened they headed to collect the three rascals.

"Hey Miss White," Trunks smiled, "We are here to collect the little monsters." Carly put on her best smile and got the release paper out for him to sign, her eye caught the license that Paris had left and she wondered if she should give it to the two of them to take to her.

"Mrs. Son, Callie's mother came and when she picked her up she left this," she handed the license to Bra who had just turned completely white.

"Excuse me," she choked out and instantly looked around for her daughter who was nowhere to be seen. "Who picked her up," Trunks stepped in as Bra began to panic, combing through the play area.

"Her mother, she said Mrs. Son needed her to pick up Callie and she left with her about an hour ago," Carly said matter-of-factly.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me, call the police right now," he yelled and went to find his sister; he knew she was probably in total freak out mode right now and he needed to try and stay calm for her. He ran over to where Bra was standing, tears pouring down her face, her cell phone in her hand; her whole body was shaking and Chase and Geta were standing by the wall confused as to what was going on. Trunks wrapped his arms around his sister and pulled her tightly to his chest, the sobs were racking throughout her body and he couldn't get her to calm down.

"Come on Bra you need to calm down a little, we need to talk to the police and let them know about everything; you know more about the whole situation than I do," he said still holding her tight. He felt her try and pull from his arms and released her; she walked over to where Miss White was standing on the phone and rage engulfed her entire being.

"You let this happen, you let that monster take my baby girl," she screamed and as she walked closer Miss White began to take steps back, trying to keep a distance between the upset women.

"Look Mrs. Son, the girl told me it was her mother and you didn't sign any of the paperwork before taking off; I had no clue what was supposed to be going on, this is your fault," Carly shot back, still holding the phone to her ear. She knew she had fucked up that when it came down to it it would be her fault because she should have called up and made sure since the paperwork wasn't done.

Bra began to shake her head and without any thought leaped forward but Trunks was there to stop her before she could lay a hand on the secretary. "Come on Bra you can't do this now, if you hurt her the cops will arrest you, that won't help us get to Callie," Trunks spoke calmly into her ear, trying to get her rage to go down, he could feel her ki getting high, higher than he had ever felt Bra's get before.

The rest of the day went by as a blur. The cops arrived and they took statements from everyone; they put out a warrant for Paris' arrest and began to canvas the city looking for the missing girl. Bra was in shock and by the time Trunks got her home she was a complete mess, she couldn't stop crying.

He had to be the one to call Goten and then his parents and then Pan; he had to be the one who broke the news to his best friend that his daughter was now in the hands of her psychopath mother and he had to be the one to take care of Geta until Bra could get herself somewhat together.

He had Goku instant transmission to get Goten as he prepared for the arrival of his very angry best friend. He knew that when Goten arrived home he was in for a whole new challenge, controlling a Super Saiyan 2 would be a difficult task. Trunks made a few more calls and had Gohan and his father heading over to help control the situation, hoping they would be able to get him to calm down, to understand that they all needed to work together and that they would find her. Pan had left work early and was on her way over to be with Bra until then and he tried to get the other two kids to sleep before the others showed up; both worried about their missing family member.
