The streets of downtown LA were busy that day, but through the crowded
streets and sidewalks, one girl sticks out. She's new there, but not a
tourist. She is, however, in search for something..
Making my way down town, Walking fast, faces pass, And I'm home bound. Staring blankly ahead, Just making my way, Making a way, Through the crowd.
And I need you, And I miss you, And now I wonder.
If I could fall, Into the sky, Do you think time, Would pass me by. Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, If I could just see you... tonight.
It's always times like these, When I think of you, And I wonder, If you ever think of me. Cause everything's so wrong, And I don't belong, Living in, Your precious memory.
Cause I need you, And I miss you, And now I wonder.
If I could fall, Into the sky, Do you think time, Would pass me by. Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, If I could just see you... tonight.
Videl had been searching for Gohan for half a week but it was harder to find a celebrity in Hollywood than she'd originally envisioned. Finally her feet were too tired to go on any further.
"Oh Gohan, will I ever find you?" She sighed as she stopped and sat down on a city bus bench.
"Hey lady?" A voice made her turn. She saw a man about her age. "Do you have the time?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do." Videl smiled and looked at her watch. "It's 2:50." Videl looked up at the man and he had sat down next to her now.
"Mam, can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"Come here, I need your opinion on something." The man stood up and took her into an alley.
"What is it?"
"This." He pulled out a gun, Videl gasped. "So, what's your opinion, is it dangerous enough?" Videl opened her mouth to scream for help but the man set the trigger. "Now if I was you, I'd keep that pretty little mouth of yours shut, got it? Now, come with me." The man began to pull her around the corner and down the street of a bad looking neighborhood. Videl was scared, this was the first time that she was facing danger where she was afraid for her life.
Meanwhile....
"Videl, where are you? You have to be here, I just know you are." Gohan was looking around still. The only time he ever stopped was to get gas for his car. Finally he turned out one street and wound up lost in a residential area. "Aw man, I must have taken a wrong street." Gohan pounded his fist into his hand. "Videl wouldn't be here." He looked up. "What the.... Videl?" He shook his head and felt his forehead. "No, I don't think I have a fever." He felt under his neck. "No, I'm not sick at all. That has to be her!" He sped over and pulled his car up to the sidewalk and turned it off. He tore his seat belt from his body and didn't even bother to open the door, he jumped out since he had the roof down. "Videl!"
"Gohan?"
"I thought I told you to be quiet!" The man turned and saw Gohan running over. "What the...?"
"Hey, let her go." Gohan growled, he felt a burst of new energy surge through his body.
"Oh yea, and what are you gonna do about it?" The man revealed his gun.
"Gohan please run away, save yourself, don't worry about me!"
"No Videl listen to me please! I'm sorry, you have to forgive me, please. Your dad called me, he explained everything. He broke it off, it's all off. You can be with me again, you're mine and I'm yours forever. Just please Videl, you have to forgive me, this is all my fault."
"Oh Gohan...." Videl was crying now.
"Alright I've had enough of this." The man pointed the gun at Gohan and shot.
"Ah!" He was hit right on and fell down on the floor.
"Gohan!" Videl shrieked and ran over. The gun had drawn attention quickly.
"Aw crap!" The man realized he'd just made a mistake and before he could turn and run, he was dog piled with people.
"Hey are you ok?" A young lady ran over to Videl but she was in shock. Everyone turned to see Gohan's body laying on the floor. "Oh no." The lady let go of Videl's arm.
"Gohan." Videl whimpered, she knelt down by him and lifted his head. "Gohan?"
"V-Videl." Gohan stuttered. He coughed, the rattle of the blood heard sharply in it.
"You're gonna be ok, it's gonna be ok."
"Gohan!" Voices cut her off, she turned and saw Goten and his parents.
"Goten, guys!" Videl called as the three ran over.
"Oh my god." Chi-Chi stopped in her tracks and everyone's faces turned white.
"Gohan! Is he ok?" Goku ran over to his son and picked him up.
"D-dad?" Gohan struggled to talk.
"Gohan, listen to your father for once and shut your mouth." Goku smiled, Gohan couldn't help but smile to, but he winced at the pain. "Goten, take your mother back." Goku instructed. Goten nodded and obeyed, taking his mom behind the crowd of spectators. They all looked on quietly.
"Dad, I...." Gohan choked, partly for air and party because it was a strain to speak.
"Gohan, just...." Both of them were lost for words.
"Is he going to be ok?" Videl asked.
"I, I dunno." Goku felt Gohan's pulse and didn't like what he found. "He's bleeding pretty bad but I don't know how far the bullet went." Goku tore off his son's shirt. "Get back Videl."
"Ok." She took a step back.
"Where's the LAPD at a time like this? They're not so infamous." Goku said so himself as he found the wound. It was on his left side, very close to his heart but it also got his left arm, due to the angle he was facing the mugger at. "This doesn't look good, somebody call 911."
"I did sir, they should be here." No sooner had the lady spoken did the cops and an ambulance pull around the corner and tear over to the sidewalk full of crowded spectators.
"Ok everyone back up." A cop to charge of the scene, the rest of the police were interviewing people for a report and handcuffing the man.
"Here, let me see him." The driver of the ambulance ran over to Goku and Gohan. Goku stood back and let the doctor examine his son. "He has a slim chance, but if we hurry, he just might make it." He called to his crew. "Get the stretcher over here, now!" Soon Gohan was on the stretcher and being put in the ambulance.
"Wait, where is he going!" Videl ran over to Goku as he got in the back of the ambulance.
"I'm going to the hospital with Gohan, you and Goten go to his apartment with Chi-Chi."
"Ok."
Goku got in the ambulance and the door closed. The ambulance drove off and as night settled, all of the cops were gone. The neighborhood streets were quiet again. Videl, Goten and Chi-Chi were at Gohan's apartment waiting for Goku to call or to find any information at all on Gohan.
"This is all my fault." Videl was still in denial.
"Don't blame yourself honey, everything's gonna be ok." Chi-Chi repeated. "It's all gonna be ok." She wanted to believe her words but not even that was reassurance enough for her.
