"No, it's me, son." As soon as the shadow came to the light, we recognised who it was.
"GOKU!" I said.
"That's my name…" Goku answered back.
"What are you doing back down on Earth?" I asked.
"I have two days left on Earth to clean up this place." Goku answered.
"Now why the hell are you doing that for?" I asked, confused.
"I bought the place for Gohan and Videl. They can live here instead of always hanging around.
"Did you find dead bodies all over the place, and blood splayed all over the walls?" I asked in a sarcastic tone.
"No, why?" Goku asked, confused.
"A couple of days ago, I found Trunks here. There was also a knife covered in fresh blood. The next day, I came back. The place was covered with blood. There were corpses everywhere. I also found these two unconscious in that room there. I took them home and for the last two days, Goten has been acting very strangely. He's alright today, though."
"Well that's weird because I have been allowed down to Earth for a whole month. I have two days left. For the past four or five weeks, I have been coming here every day and there has been no weird stuff happening." Goku answered, "The estate agents didn't tell me this place was haunted!"
"Now we don't know that for sure yet." I said.
"Well it's pretty obvious isn't it"? Goku answered.
"It might not be that, it might be a cover up."
"What for?"
"A criminal offence." I said as I remembered something. I tore up the floorboards near my feet. There was corpses all lined up in a neat row, all amputated. One corpse had a massive hole in his torso.
"That's the weird goings on." I said.
"But who did it." Goku asked. I looked at the corpse with the big hole.
"Look at this." I said.
"This isn't a normal attack. This could only have been done by an energy beam." Goku answered, "and it is only us Saiyans that can do that."
"Krillin and Piccolo can do that, too." Goten added. I looked at Goten, then to Goku.
"I want to talk to them two." I said.
"Surely you're not saying that they did it!" Goku said.
"No, I just want re-assuring."
"Of what?" Goten asked.
"You'll see." I answered.
The next day, we was at the lookout. I was talking to Piccolo and Krillin.
"Well if you were here all of the time, that narrows the suspects down to two, and I know one of them wouldn't dream of murdering unnecessarily."
"Who's the last two?" Krillin asked.
"Gohan and Vegeta!" I answered, "And I very much doubt that Gohan is the murderer. It's not like him to do something like this."
"Plus, Vegeta used to be evil. What if he's got his old flame back?" Krillin asked, scared.
"Then we're all in big trouble!" I replied. Just then, Gohan landed onto the lookout platform.
"Hey, guys! What's up?"
"Oh, hi, Gohan!" Krillin shouted towards him.
"Have you seen the news on TV lately?" Gohan asked.
"No, but why? You don't normally care about the news!" Goten said, laughing.
"But this is really important! You'd better come and see this, I taped it for you to see." Gohan answered back, looking worried.
"Alright, I'll come and take a look." I said.
"Can I come too?" Goten asked.
"If you want to."
When we got to Gohan's temporary living space, he put the video on for us to see. The newsreader looked horrified as he read the report.
"Today, two children are being hunted by the police for mass murdering. These two children are being hunted for murdering over 100 people and putting the blood-drenched corpses under the floorboards of a local house." I was shocked to see Goten and Trunks' pictures come on screen.
"It must be a cover up!" Goten said.
"It is. You've been with me all of the time, so you couldn't have been mass murderers." I said.
"That's not all. This is the best part of it." Gohan said, pointing at the screen, "Look who the witness is."
"Sir, what did you see?" The reporter asked. The camera panned around.
"Yeah, I saw these two yobs kill all of these people unintentionally." A man said.
"THAT'S TRUNKS' DAD!" Goten said.
"That's Vegeta?" I asked.
"Yeah, that's Vegeta." Gohan answered. Just then, Trunks walked in.
"I heard the noise, what's up?" He asked.
"Your traitorous dad is after you." I answered.
"Even though that's my dad you're on about, I agree with you, Danny." Trunks replied.
"If you think I was wrong about your dad, just tell me." I said.
"No, it's alright. He's trying to get us into trouble for nothing." Trunks answered.
"Well I can back you up. I can say you're innocent and I can prove it, don't forget, you've been with me all of the time!" I said.
"Well we'll also have to watch my dad. He'll try to get us and kill us, just to try and get famous." Trunks said, scared.
"Don't worry, he won't get you. I'll make sure of it." I said, knelt down in front of the boys, "He will get found out, don't worry about it." I said.
"Yes he will get us, Danny, I'm scared." Goten said, starting to cry.
"No he won't. I said I'll make sure of it. You'll be watched closely all day and at night, you can stay with me." I said.
"How are you gonna watch us all day?" Trunks asked, also crying.
"Hey, calm down! I've got a friend that owes me big time. He needs a job anyways and he's a great plane and helicopter pilot. I'll see if he can borrow one of Bulma's airplanes to watch you. He could be an 'eye in the sky' type of thing."
"Will he do it?" Goten asked, drying the tears away.
"He'll do anything for a decent wage packet. He doesn't have a wife or kids so he only pays his own way."
"Will you ask him?" Goten blubbered.
"Sure I will." I said to him.
The next day, I asked my friend, Mike, if he wanted the job. He accepted my offer. I then went to Bulma to see if I could borrow an airplane off of her, she accepted as well on one condition, I paid for the fuel costs and Mike doesn't crash it! Every day that the boys went out to play, Mike was up in the 'plane watching over them I thought the plane was a good investment. The only thing that was bothering me was how the bloody hell will I afford the fuel!?
The day after that, Goten wanted to go get some chocolate from the candy store, so I gave him some money. I also sent Mike up to watch him, and I was glad I did. Later on, I got a phone call.
"Danny, it's Mikey, Goten's in trouble. He's been attacked, I'd go and save him, but I have no space to land.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"About a mile from the city boundary. I'll hover over the area so you can locate him quicker."
"Thanks, Mike, I'll see you there."
When I got to the location, Mike was hovering over the spot. Goten was laid on the floor in a pool of his blood. I ran over to him. He was awake, but his arm was cut deep. He was also coughing up blood.
"Danny…Is…That…You?" Goten struggled to say.
"Don't worry kid, you're gonna be alright." I said. I took my sweatshirt off and wrapped it around his cut arm.
"Danny, is he alright?" I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around. It was Trunks! He was running towards us. I turned my head to face Goten.
"Yeah, come here, quick." I shouted. Suddenly, there was a gunshot. I turned my head quick. Trunks was on his knees, clutching a gunshot wound on his chest. I stood up and ran towards him. Before I got to him, he collapsed on the floor. He was still awake, but he was in pain. His face was showing it.
"Trunks, just stay as still as possible." I said. I picked him up lightly. He screamed in pain. I ran to where Goten was and laid him down, away from the blood. Trunks let go of his stomach. That wound was also deep. I got out my mobile phone.
"Mike, Are you sure you can't land? I need an extra pair of hands."
