Chapter 4. Searching

~*~ Thank you so much for the reviews! Please keep reviewing!! Oh and I don't own Dbz*~




When ChiChi regained her senses, she was in a different room, chained to a chair. One solo light hung above her, but it only reached a few inches past ChiChi's feet. The rest of the room was cast in shadows. Searing pain shot through her body as the inveitable after shock of her questioning.
"Welcome back ChiChi," an all to familar voice greeted. With this, the speaker stepping to the light. It was Pieter and his frog-crew of course.
"Hi," replied ChiChi, squinting..again.
"Since my questioning didn't work, I've decided to try a different method," Pieter explained.
"Am I scientific guinea pig?" ChiChi muttered, almost unaudibly.
"What was that?" Pieter demanded, upon her instantly. His steel toe boots rammed onto ChiChi's sandal like shoes.
ChiChi calmly repeated her comment.
Pieter stomped on his captive's foot and then aimed a blow at ChiChi's cheek. Chichi turned her head so that Pieter's attack missed. "You think you're so good, don't you?" taunted Pieter, a little unruffled about his miss. The presence of his 'gang' was ever obvious to this villian.
ChiChi stared at him, uneffected. Her emotionless mask was even more unnerving for Pieter.
Again, Pieter attacked and again he failed. "Bitch!" he snapped and landed a blow behind her left ear. A dull headache instantly started and began to pulsate with every beat of her heart. Her calm facade would not crumble. That then began the object of Pieter's method.
ChiChi never gave up her placid appearance, even as Pieter's blows intesfied. She only wished that Pieter's power/enegry could be sensed by Goku and everyone else. She did not know how much longer she could uphold the endurance she needed. This was her last thought before an enegry wave pushed her into darkness.

******************


It had been five, long hours. Goku had been standing in the middle of the Brief's living room ever since Bulma headed off to her lab. He had bitten on his thumb nail, paced for awhile, tappped his foot etc.... All nervous habits that one does when one is waiting for something very important. Even Vegeta would look about from time to time for a glimpse of Bulma or a sign that everything was going to be okay.
When those five hours was over, Bulma stumbled into the room with a stack of papers and a very thoughtfull expression.
"Ahem," she said, catching everyone's attention, "I have a hypthosis about ChiChi's captors. I looked up 'sightings' on the internet and found a website where a picture of an ailen was posted. It primarily fit Goku's depriction and had been sited in a group at different times all leading up to the attack on your family. One last sighting was after the attack and it was about one hundred miles from here, near an old warehouse. The kidnappers couldn't have strayed far from this area so I was thinking we should all fly out there and search," annouced Bulma.
The group was stunned for a few moments before Goten spoke up, "Well, what are we waiting for?"
So the eager group was launched into a frenzy of prepartion for the search. Even Vegeta picked up a magnifying glass and climbed into the aircraft. Thus, the expedititon was launched to find the lost friend and mother.


What will these hopeful investigators discover????
