Only One Shot
Chapter 7-Old Friends
The next morning was extremely busy due to the murder last night. Chris Spears had been murdered right infront of his…uh…her…well Chris had been murdered right infront of 'her' gang members as they ran out from a warehouse that was a set up. The cops had found out about the illegal selling of drugs and weapons there and they ran.
The cops had called it an extraordinary shot. Chris was fast and was way ahead of 'her' members. He was going past a metal box and eyewitness cops had said it went straight through the metal box and hit Chris in the head. 'She' was dead instantly. So far they had no success of taking the bullet out of 'her' skull. As if it lodged itself there and refused to leave.
Videl came into the room, glaring at Gohan who was seated at the far corner of the room. He just smirked at her and leaned back in his chair. Finally Sharpner burst into the room followed by Gordon. Gerard was out of commission since he was still recovering from being 'attacked' in the club.
"What's with the cast Sharpie?" Videl said curiously as she eyed the cast on his right arm. Sharpner smiled nervously and sat down. Gohan raised an eyebrow. "Well I got to the hospital a little late and I finally found out that my mom's heart attack was a fluke. My mom was still mad that I didn't make it earlier and well…"
Gordon snickered. "You got the shit beat out of you by your own mom!" Sharpner glared at him and tried to cross his arms only to howl in pain and fall off his chair. The Chief smirked and then turned serious, clearing his throat to get their attention. "Now that you've had your fun we need to get down to business. Last night…"
As he rambled on Gohan felt his cell rumble. He pulled it out and looked at it. There was a text message. Meet me where heaven brings their souls to rest and hell burns those not as blessed—HH Videl tried to peer over at what the text message said and he pulled the cell phone away. He smirked at her and moved a finger from side to side.
"Naughty Videl, you should be paying attention." Videl growled at him and turned back to the file the Chief gave out as he began explaining Chris' death. "…and I want you three detectives to find out who that sniper is immediately! If you need me I'll be on my lunch break." He pulled on his jacket and left the room.
"I wish I could have a lunch break…" Sharpner mumbled and left the room with his file, leaving Gohan and Gordon alone with Videl. "Was this you?" Gohan scowled. "No it wasn't me! Just because I work for the Trece Mafia doesn't mean I snipe people!" Videl gave him a disbelieving look and Gohan stood up.
"Where do you think YOU'RE going hm?!" Gohan just grabbed Gordon and walked out of the room. Videl grabbed her file and followed after them. Gohan threw Gordon into the back and started the car just when Videl got into the front. "Wherever you're going I'm going with you." Gohan just shrugged and drove.
They stopped at a flower shop where Gohan picked up a bouquet of pink carnations and then drove to the cemetery. "Why are we here?" Videl said confused. "To meet him where heaven brings their souls to rest and hell burns those not as blessed." Videl just gave him an odd look, confused even more. Gordon had long given up on figuring out what Gohan did.
"Stay in the car." Gohan said firmly and walked through the huge cemetery to his mother's grave. Heiji was leaning against the marble angel and staring up at the sky. Gohan stood infront of the grave and placed the flowers next to the one the one's Heiji put down. "It's been a long time Gohan. 19 long years."
"Yeah." Gohan said as he looked up into the blue sky as well. "You look a lot better without that mop of hair though." Heiji said with a smirk and Gohan smirked back. "You look a lot better without Cortez." A honk sounded and they looked towards the car. They could see a small Videl pounding Gordon's face into the wheel.
"Well what do you know, Gohan has a girlfriend! Well it's about time you did get one." Gohan scowled. "She's not my girlfriend! I just work with her and she won't leave me alone!" Heiji gave him the 'yeah right' look. "Well what about you huh? You have a wife or girlfriend yet?! Last time I saw you I was 6 and you were 18. I don't remember you having one."
Heiji smiled sadly and looked at the ground. "My wife died a while back. Cortez had found out I where I was a few years ago and killed her as a reminder to shut my mouth. I still have my little princess though. Nanami's six and I don't want Cortez getting his hands on her. I don't want to do what Goku did to you. I'd rather die than have that happen."
"I understand." Gohan said as he glanced at his father's grave. "I'll protect her but you're coming with me too. I'm not letting Cortez get his hands on you." Heiji stared at him like he was crazy. "If Cortez finds out that you're protecting me when he can't find me he'll begin trying to kill you!" Gohan snorted. "He already has."

Videl rammed Gordon's head a few times into the steering wheel, making the car beep. She pulled his head back by his hair and glared at him as he whimpered. "Why must everyone treat me so harshly?!" he said with tear drops at the corner of his eyes. "Now tell me and stop giving me excuses, what is the name of the man Gohan works for?!"
"I CAN'T TELL YOU ALRIGHT? FOR KAMI'S SAKE LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" Videl grabbed his hair again and rammed his head into the steering wheel a few times, making it honk in a beat, before letting him go. Gordon whimpered and curled into the corner behind her seat. "You people are evil! I wish I stayed in Capsule Corp Penitentiary!"

Cortez made smoke circles as he smoked his Cuban cigar. He laughed with the stripper girl on his lap and his eyes roamed over her body. Before they could start anything though the glass door opened and Avon walked in. "Sorry Father but we tried to stop him! He killed ten men already!" Cortez scowled and puffed on his cigar.
"Leave him this looks important." He muttered a 'yeah right' after he said that and pushed the stripper off his lap. "Get out of here! Go back to work or something!" The stripper scowled at him then began flirting with the guards as they led her out. "What the hell are you trying to make me kill?" Avon yelled and threw a sniper bullet at Cortez.
Cortez caught it and looked at it. It was bloody. "Why are you giving me this? You better not be wasting my time son of Avon." Avon growled. "The sniper killing your men shot me blindly yet accurately then rolled off a building with all his stuff AND drove off as if nothing happened! That was lodged in my arm bone!" Cortez raised an eyebrow. "Did you shoot him?"
"OF COURSE I SHOT HIM!!!" Cortez's right eye twitched. "But did you hit him?" Avon scowled at him and tried to cross his arms over his chest only to wince as he moved his arm. "Dammit." He muttered and sat down in the chair, glaring at Cortez. "There was blood on the sidewalk from when he went to his car. I don't know where I hit him though."
"Well at least you got close. Keep a lookout for him." Avon snorted. "Whatever." Cortez blew out a ring. "And shoot him if you can." Avon scowled at that. "My bone is shattered; I can barely lift the thing. I tried last night; it hurt like hell just to pull the damn trigger." Cortez threw a few wads of hundreds at him. "But I'll see what I can do."

Videl sat bored in the car until Gordon's cell rang. She stared at him and he answered it, fumbling a few times before actually pressing the button. "He-Hello?" Silence. "Ok. It's for you, it's Gohan. He says it's important." Videl took the phone from Gordon with surprise. Gohan had never wanted to talk to her about anything important before.
"Gohan?" [Videl I want you to drive back to headquarters.]
"This is what's so important?!" [I figured you wouldn't take the phone!]
"What are you hiding this time?!" [I'll clue you in later. The keys are in the ignition still.]
Videl scowled as she heard the click of his phone cutting her off before she could say anything. "Men…" she muttered and tossed the phone back to Gordon who yelped and tried to catch it. She moved over to the driver seat and started the car. "Wait, where are we going?!" Videl smirked at Gordon. "A little ride." Gordon paled and buckled up fast.

Gohan placed his phone in his pocket and nodded to Heiji. He looked in the rear view mirror to see Nanami hugging a stuffed puppy, asleep and buckled on the seat. He adjusted the mirror and started the car. "I'm going to take you to my friend Trunks. No one will be able to find you there." Heiji nodded and smiled at him. "Thank you Gohan, I appreciate it."
