Consciousness of the Heart Chapter Seven

Surprise, Surprise *************************************************************

"The coast is clear, I can only read Radditz's Ki signature." Goku said putting two fingers to his forehead and grabbing Gohan's arm.

"Sur..." Gohan started to say but was cut off as they instantly disappeared. *************************************************************

"Have you seen this girl?" Sakura Sano asked a group of teenagers.

She was greeted with a chorus of 'No's' and 'Nuh-uh's'.

"Thank you." She said wearily. She was running out of patience and time.

There was only one place left to go, to check the hot lists at the Lemon Park Police Stations.

Sano sighed and put the picture back into her purse, she motioned for a green cab and stepped in.

"Where to?" The stout driver asked.

"Lemon Park Police Station." Sano replied handing the man a twenty.

"You aint in any trouble is ya?" The man asked in a thick accent.

"No, I'm a cop." She replied holding up her badge.

"I take it you aint from around here." The cab driver drawled out.

"What was your first clue?" Sano muttered at his ignorance.

"You is from up north aint ya." He pointed out.

Sano just sighed and nodded, this was going to be a long cab drive. *************************************************************

"..re." Gohan finished in a totally different location.

"What?" Goku turned around and asked.

"Nothing." Gohan said and shook his head.

"Radditz disappeared." Goku said sullenly.

"What do you mean disappeared, you had him locked on, and you used the Instant Transmission?" Gohan asked bewildered.

"Either Radditz learned how to suppress his Ki, or he disappeared while we were appearing." Goku said looking around.

"He doesn't have his own Ki anymore." Lacey said appearing right in front of Goku.

Goku looked at her in shock.

"How did you do that?" Gohan asked amazed.

Lacey just rolled her eyes and took a few steps back.

"Being the grand-daughter of a fortune teller has its advantages." Lacey snapped.

"Raddtiz's Ki has been altered to mix with that of the girls, his Ki signature entered a small window through her mind, which only appears for a few seconds as his own, then once he has fully merged with her it mixes, giving him a boost and a different Ki signature." Lacey explained.

"Oh." Goku and Gohan said in unison.

"Which means Radditz has gained most or all control over her body and is capable of whatever he desires." Lacey said.

"To track him down properly, you will need my help." She said and pulled out a stack of papers from her briefcase.

"This is all of the research I've done on Radditz, here is his power levels and attacks." She said pointing to a grid.

Goku looked over the papers and paled.

"What's wrong dad?" Gohan asked.

"Radditz has reached Super Sayain three. He has a higher power level than mine." Goku said.

"Oh Dende." Gohan exclaimed in shock.

"Gohan, go get Vegeta, me and Lacey will track Radditz down." Goku ordered.

"How exactly am I supposed to 'get Vegeta'?" Gohan asked.

"Tell him one of his faithful subjects would like to have a few words with him. Knowing Vegeta, he'll come." Goku assured.

"Right, be careful." Gohan agreed and took off, ignoring his whole 'No flying' speech.

"Do you know where Radditz is?" Goku asked Lacey.

"If I didn't why would I try helping you?" Lacey asked in an 'Isn't it obvious?' tone.

"Let's go." Goku said and followed Lacey. *************************************************************

"Officer Sano." She said and held up her badge.

"Welcome." The computerized guard said.

"Officer McKinney, I'm here to check out the Hot Lists." Sano said approaching the chief.

"Sure thing, right this way." The tall male said holding the back door open for her.

"The most recent ones are closest to you, while the further back you go, the less recent they are." The chief smiled as he pointed to the large stacks of files.

"Thanks, I won't be long." Sano said and stooped down to the first pile. *************************************************************

"Vegeta!" Gohan called out.

"What??" snapped the overly annoyed Sayain Prince.

"One of your faithful subjects would like to have a few words with you." Gohan said, reciting what his father had told him.

"Let's go." Vegeta said without hesitation. *************************************************************

"He is inside this Where-house." Lacey pointed.

They both quietly stepped inside.

"Welcome, little brother." A deep growl ripped through the air. *************************************************************
