Chapter 16:

"Yamcha…"

Bulma had a look of confusion as they took him away. He looked at her apologetically; before sitting in the cop car. He glanced at her one last time before they drove off.  She returned back to the office and sat down in the chair. She was staring off into space: going over the events that had just taken place in a matter of hours. She didn't notice Vegeta walk in and close the door behind him.

"I'm sorry…" he started.

She glanced up, "Why?"

He looked into her eyes and knew it was time to tell her everything. "It was my job-"

"No!" she yelled, "Why didn't you tell me? You let me think that you really had feelings for me. You used me. Did you enjoy it? Did you enjoy putting me through all of this."

Vegeta had a look of shock on his face after that he recomposed himself. "Bulma, it wasn't my intention."

"Like hell it wasn't", she stated as she got up.

"Listen to me, I know you are bullheaded, but you aren't leaving this room until you hear what I have to tell you."

Bulma got in his face defiantly. "Try me. I'm ready for any lies you have to tell me."

Vegeta grabbed at his hair in turmoil. He had been sitting in the office for over two hours trying to convince her of his true intentions. "I should just let you believe what you want, but I can't" he pulled out a chair and motioned her to sit. She did it, reluctantly. "Bulma, I have to tell you everything in order to understand, are you willing to listen?"

Bulma nodded in reply.

"My feelings for you were, are true; much against my better judgment." He glanced at her before continuing, "I was sure in the beginning that you were in it; that you were Yamcha's accomplice, but after sometime I knew that to be a lie. I couldn't tell you the truth without jeopardizing the whole case. Who knew what you reaction would have been? Seriously, how would you have reacted if I told you: I am an undercover detective, here to bust your long-time boyfriend's underground club, and I have fallen in love with you. You would have reacted one of many different ways, all unknown. That wouldn't have been ideal. I had enough time trying to convince myself that I could leave without saying anything of how I felt, but that wouldn't have been fair would it."

He looked at Bulma's stoic face, "That's was hard than I thought it would be. I'll be leaving so don't worry about seeing my in the future. I'll be out of you life now."

And with that Vegeta left the restaurant and didn't look back.
