Chapter 2…………………………
She pulled up to the Sons' house and jumped out of the car. Chi-Chi ran over to her and hugged her. "I heard about….. I'm so sorry!" She whispered. Bulma nodded. "Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo are around back." she said. "Thanks." Bulma said and headed around back. Goku ran over to her and grabbed her by the arms. "I hope you know what you're doing, he's is very gory mess." He said, a concerning look in his eyes. Bulma sighed and nodded. "Show me." She said sternly. Goku grabbed her hand and guided her to where trunks and Piccolo where crouched. Piccolo looked up, his eyes locked with Bulma's. She closed her eyes as Goku slowed his steps. He suddenly halted causing Bulma to snap open her eyes. What she saw made her sick to her stomach. She looked away but she found herself looking at him again. Her knees couldn't hold her anymore and she dropped to the ground. She could see where chunks of his skin were missing, she could see to the bone in some places where the cuts ran deep, part of his chest had skin just hanging off. All of his blood had soaked into the ground, staining the surroundings red... She put a hand over her mouth to stifle her screams; someone or something had gotten a hold of him. Goku was now on his knees beside her, hands on his shoulder. "Who…..what… c-could have done this?" she managed to ask, "We don't know, but we're trying to find out what might have done this. She leaned forward and pushed Vegeta's bangs from his face. "It's funny, his face is untouched." She said smiling a bit. "He looks so peaceful." Gohan said. "I'll call the funeral home." Bulma said. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed them up. A few minutes later she returned. "They're on there way." She said, running her fingers through her hair. She joined Piccolo and Goku on the porch. She sat down on the edge of the porch and dropped her head into her hands. "How am I going to tell Bra?" she said looking from Piccolo to Goku. "You'll find a way." Piccolo reassuringly. She sat for a few more minutes then pulled out her cell phone. Her heart beat like a bass drum as the phone began to ring. "Hello?' Bra said answering the phone. "Hey sweetie it's mom." Bulma said running her hands through her hair. "Hey! What's up?" Bra said. "Umm ... ugh how do I put this? We found your father." "Really! Let me talk to him!" she shouted. "You can't!" Bulma cried. "Mom, what's going on, where's Dad!" Bra screamed. "I…he's.…dead, sweet heart." Bulma cried. "What! How...I...Just saw him last weekend and now he's gone!" she screamed. Bra started to sob uncontrollably and throw things. Bulma dropped the phone from her hand and sobbed. A car pulled up in the drive way and Goten jumped out . Looked over on the porch and saw Bulma. Something was wrong. He ran up to the front porch. He looked at his dad and then to Bulma. "Did you find…." He said looking at his father who nodded yes ."Here" Goku said, handing Goten Bulma's cell phone. "Who is it?" Goten asked. "Bra, she's out of control" Bulma said looking up at him "Please, please talk to her!" Bulma said. Goten nodded and walked in side.
