Chapter 8 – Molly

Goku made it back to the CC. He wiped to tears from his eyes. One good trait he had got from his mom was the ability to cry and then look like he hadn't. It was a rare gift that came in useful in times like these. If the Vegeta here was anything like the Vegeta back home, he didn't want to be caught crying.

As he walked in the first thing to notice was that Bailey was gone. Fear started to make itself known. At first he thought he must have missed her in his quick glance around the room, but a second quick glance only concluded the first. "Where's Bailey?" Goku asked. He couldn't help the panic in his voice. He remembered the murder scene and his blood turned to ice with fear. "Where's Bailey?"

"Relax, brat." Vegeta sneered. "She went to the washroom." Goku sighed with reliefthat Bailey was still in the building and plopped himself down onto the couch.

"So, what did you find where the mist was?" Goku Sr. asked.

Goku looked around everyone was leaning towards him, anxious to hear what was going on. Goku however couldn't talk about it. The corpses, the blood, it swam in front of his eyes. "I need to talk to Bailey privately first." He said, not making eye contact with any of them. He could sense their disappointment. But the last thing they needed to know was that he had visions. Scream, blood, water. Water? Where had the water come from? It had almost been like a shower..."Wait a minute, did you say bathroom?" Goku asked as he sprang to his feet.

Every one seemed to jump a bit at this, they hadn't expected him to stand up all of the sudden. "Why do you want to know, brat?" Vegeta asked. Goku didn't answer. The blood, the water, the screaming.

"She's in danger." Goku said, one second before a scream ripped through the room. The women were frozen in terror. The rest of them however were on there feet and running toward the bathroom, faster then a bullet not joking> . Goku was the first to reach the bathroom. As he opened the door, he was both relieved and terrified.

Bailey was on the floor, having tripped obviously, but otherwise unharmed. The shower was on and hanging from the shower head was a corpse. The corpse looked to be a middle aged woman with flaming red hair. Goku didn't look at it, or at least tried not to. As he ran over to Bailey, he noticed that Vegeta, Goku Sr., Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo, were now all crowded in the spacious bathroom. They all were staring at the corpse.

Goku turned back to Bailey, trying to soothe her.


Bailey was just checking her hair in the mirror. She had to think…how would she know Bulma? What would be a good alibi? I know, Bailey thought, I can say that Vegeta told me about her… Vegeta Jr. that is.

Proud of herself for finding a way around herlittle problem,she went to leave. That's when she heard it. Like that night months ago, a sound came from within the shower. She had turned to run, only to find the doorknob unbearably hot. She had been unable to open it. Then the shower came on. Bailey had stayed along the wall, not wanting to get to close to whatever it was that was in the shower.

However, like always, Bailey's curiosity got the best of her. She went to the curtain, she tried to look at what was beside the curtain using the ki sensing trick, that Pan had taught her. She couldn't sense anything. She opened the shower curtain prepared to fight whatever terror was behind it and let out a scream. She couldn't help it. There hanging from the shower head was Molly McEwen. Her friend and mentor, her surrogated mother, the one person she had been able to talk about her grandfather with after his death.

As she screamed, she tripped while backing up. By the time she hit the floor, Goku (Jr. and Sr.), Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan were all in the room. Goku Jr. came to her and put his arms around her.


Flash back

"Miss. Bailey, you know better then to leave your mother on the phone."

"Ahhh, Molly I just want to finish reading these pages to the kids."

"You can continue reading later young lady, Miss. Rachel is waiting."


Flashback

"Aren't you going to say Happy Birthday Molly?"

"Now why would I waste my breathe trying to say that to you, when you ignore every other thing I have to say to you?"

"You know I love you!"

"Miss. Bailey you get more like your grandfather each passing day."

"Shhhh. Don't tell my mom or the next thing you know, I'll be sent to a convent."


Flashback

"Why did he have to die?"

"Hush now! Tears won't do you any good. And at any rate, Mr. Bailey wouldn't have wanted you to cry for his sake."

"But I'm all alone now! How could he leave me all alone?"

Hush child, he didn't leave you all alone, y'hear? He will always be right there, in your heart. And when you need some one to talk to, I'm a few blocks away."

"I don't know what I would do without you Molly."


What would she do without Molly? She started to cry. Why Molly? What had she done wrong? What type of cruel, sick world let people like Molly die like that?

She hadn't realized she had been saying her thoughts aloud. Until she noticed that they were all looking at her…with pity. "I don't need your pity!" Bailey yelled, forcing them all to look away. Goku Jr. picked her up and carried her like a rag doll, into the living room, where everyone else was waiting to see what happened.

They immediately went to her. Chichi saying that they needed to cook her some food. Videl asking if she was alright, with Goten and Trunks mimicking her concern. Bulma didn't even bother to ask Bailey, but went straight up to Vegeta to ask what was going on. He merely shook his head.

Bailey could feel herself being lowered down onto the couch. Shock started to seep in. Bailey welcomed it. The numbness could take her away from it all. Bailey looked at Goku's eyes and knew, though she didn't know how, she knew that he had had a vision. "You thought it would be me?" She asked quietly, putting a comforting hand on his cheek.

Goku nodded slightly, "I was scared that I would lose you." He muttered softly, too softly for any of the others to over hear…or so she thought.

"How did you know that she was in danger?" Goten asked innocently. Goku looked at the carpet, he had only entrusted one person with that secret, Bailey. Bailey could sense his uneasiness. She sat up on the couch, and then stood up (there was no way she was going to be the only one sitting). As she did she made up her mind.

"We need to tell them," She said. Goku nodded in agreement, but before he could open her mouth Bailey shook her head, "about everything."


Hey! I know it's a little darker then what I'm used to, but hey on the positive side, I'm finally getting into the major plot line. I know I know, It's about time. I bet you guys thought it would naver happen. But i'm careful about what i write.. everything happens for a reason.

Next time: the truth...
