the cost of truth

More silence.... He was just about to give up when the door opened. A man, early in his twenties stood at the door. He smiled at the 2 of them and shook the boys hand. "Ahhh hey there Shenari. Long time no see, huh!"
"Good to see you too Shenku. It really has been a while."
The young girl smiled. "Shenari... what a lovely name... it's got such elegance and mystery... it's very-" Her thoughts were interrupted Shenari tapping on her shoulder.
"You there?" He smiled some. "I see you were daydreaming huh?"
"Oh uhh.... yeah..." She smiled slightly watching them.
"Well i never got your name. What might it be?"
"Oh. My name's Abby."
"Thats a beautiful name if i do say so myself." Shenari told her with a smile.
Abby blushed. "It's not that beautiful."
"Oh but it is." Shenari soon stopped and realized that he was off topic and ignoring shenku. "Oh uhh... well shenku sorry about that." He laughed slightly.
"Oh thats quite alright, not a problem at all. Let's all go inside and we can talk." Shenku smiled and led them inside, showing them his house. It wasn't small, yet it wasn't big. It had 2 bedrooms, which seemed just perfect for him. He led them to a living room where they all sat down. "Would you all like something to drink?" Shenku asked.
"No, I just ate and such." Abby excalimed, somewhat shy.
"Well," Shenari laughed, "i'll be taking some of my favorite Saiyan wine."
"Sure thing, lemme go get a glass." Shenku left the room, going to the kitchen.
Shenari looked over at Abby and smiled. He gently held her hand in his. "Is everything alright?"
She blushed and looked away so he wouldn't see. "Yeah i'm fine. This is all just new to me."
Shenari nodded, and shenku entered in the room, carrying a glass and bottle. The bottle had Saiyan writing on it, something Abby was getting annoyed at. She couldn't read it, even though she wanted to. Shenku soon began pouring it, and Abby noticed it was red. Blood red. "Is... is.. is that... blood?!?" She shook her head. "That's silly! It's just wine! Shenku isn't the kind of person to drink blood." She took those thought out completely and watched them, seeing him take a sip and set it down.
"Ahhh... that hit the spot!" Shenari leaned back and smiled.
Shenku smirked. "I knew you'd like it. So you're here about the truth."
"Yeah.. I wanna know what you know. I think my parents' deaths wasn't done by terrorist's." Shenari told him.
Shenku took a deep breath. "The things I tell you here are only between us. No one else can know."
"I understand." Shenari told Shenku.
Shenku leaned back. "Thats good. Now then, What you need to know is everything is a lie."
"A lie? Well I know some of it is, but-"
"Everything. The teachings, laws, everything. It was all done in an attempt to hide the truth."
"The truth?" Shenari gazed at shenku intently and curiously, unsure of anything now. He had came for the truth, but this was an insane amount of truth, even for him. Shenku explained to him that they were killing anyone who's power level exceeded that of King Vegeta's. They hired hit men from other countries to kill them off, and that was the need for tax raises. He explained that it was the reason for the killing of the young Saiyajin baby Brolly, and he heard talk if that Bardock continued gaining strength, he'd be next, along with his crew. When Shenari heard this, he laughed. "A low level?"
"Bardock possesses great power, more then a high saiyajin." Shenku said calmly.
"Bah! To think he could gain so much." Shenari laughed.
"Yes, and it's why he'll probably be next." Shenku said.
As they spoke, Abbi became interested in other things, trying to keep herself occupied. She looked through a newspaper, sighing when she saw it was in Saiyan writing. She set the paper down and stared at the door. "Funny," She thought. "I thought I heard something.." she turned away, but seconds later she was looking at the door again.
"Something wrong Abbi?" Shenari asked.
"Yeah you've been starin at my door for a good time now." Shenku told her.
"I... I thought I heard something..." She said in a soft and nervous tone.
"Like what?" Shenku said.
Before she could reply, a loud boom was heard at the door, and in an instant they were all running. The house exploded into tiny pieces behind them, as the head seared nearby houses. They all ran, following Shenku, who took them through alleyway's and back roads. They dared not fly, as Abbi can't fly, and if they did they would be open for easy attack.. They ran, soon appearing near an abandoned airport, the sounds of the policemen not to far behind them. As they looked, there were 3 ships. oddly enough for all of them. Shenku ran into his, starting it up, as Shenari helped Abbi into hers. He set her up, and soon ran into his, starting his up. In an instant they all took off. The policemen just stood there in anger, knowing they were long gone. The crew of police soon began walking back, taking one last glance at they ships that were fading away....
