Pretty Baby

Chapter Four

"Ah, Mr. Ouji, right? Detecive?" It was the Brief's personal doctor for ten years and then suddenly never again. "What can I do for you? I heard you were here a few days ago and I thought and hoped you would be back."

"Yes, I wanted a few words with you but you had been out of time," Vegeta stated.

"Yes, a long awaited vacation with the family, after the situation with the Briefs', my wife wanted us to get away before something like that happened to our family," The doctor smiled faintly.

"That is quite understandable," Vegeta nodded. "Do you think we might speak in private," Vegeta asked as he looked at all the passing individuals.

The doctor nodded, "No problem, right this way."

The doctor walked towards his desk chair and sat while motioning for Vegeta. He obeyed, "Now what is it that you need to discuss?"

"I read a few of the documents that Dr. Briefs carried in his household and most reports were signed by you, so I looked into it more and found out that you were their personal doctor, can you tell me about that?"

"Yes, I had been their doctor for almost ten years, even before they were rich and hit the big time, Dr. Briefs and I were partners and gulfed together. But in the past few years, he became paranoid and I had noticed changes in Bulma and Bunni," The doctor replied.

"What kinds of things?"

"Bulma would call frequently about hurting, when she was a little girl she had called at my home and complained that her private area was hurting," The doctor replied. "And the sad thing was, it was the same year that she had started her period, so I let the scare die down naturally."

"I understand, what else did you notice?"

"Bunni had been issued into the hospital a few times, she had been beaten and shot at, and then one year she was placed into a mental hospital, she tried to kill herself," The doctor stated with a disturbing look on his face. He continued, "You want to know something though? At the age of five, Bulma had been placed into the hospital, she had been rapped, Dr. Briefs immediately moved, but the trauma to her lower areas never stopped…"

Goku walked around the mansion a few times, Vegeta asked him to stay behind while he finished up with something. They had a hunch of who the murderer was and Vegeta intended on finding him.

Goku watched the maids do their jobs, walking around the house and looking for the stuff that needed to be found. Dr. Briefs was gone most of the time, still in his labs in the lower ground, Goku suspected hiding out for some reason, but he was in no hurry to find out why.

He walked into the kitchen and saw Gretchen the maid who made the meals throughout the day, "May I help you sir?"

"Yes please, is it possible for me to get a sandwich?"

"Yes, no problem, what can I make for you? Turkey, Ham, PBJ?"

"Hmm, how about a ham…"

She smiled and walked into the cooking area while Goku waited by the table. Goku looked around for a few seconds; the house was huge on the inside out. He wondered why anyone needed so much stuff, fancy stuff at that.

Goku smirked as he looked at the family pictures, it was strange how a family could seem so happy but also hid so many secrets, and it was baffling. Goku jumped up for a second as he heard a few light footsteps, "Gretchen?'

Goku turned around and was hit in the back of the head, hard, harder then when he hit the ground with a bang. The figure dropped the lap to the ground as he began dragging the body.

"Goku, sir? I have you sandwich," Gretchen walked into the room and found no Goku. She shrugged her shoulders and left the room.

"Were there any complaints or situations when Bunni was found?"

"Yes, we had an obtopsie down and found that she was rapped and beaten until she was helpless, that was when she was shot three times in her chest, in her heart area and one directly in the middle of the brain," The doctor replied.

"The sperm? Whose DNA's was it?"

"We found two types, both were extremely recent, Dr. Briefs, and Brian Wildman," he stated.

"The body guard?"

"Yes, but that was there was a few shocks, Brian's sperm was only older then Dr. Briefs'…"

"Dr. Briefs was the last to have sex with her," Vegeta's head shot up as he looked at the doctor. He nodded quietly, "You think Dr. Briefs was responsible?"

"Dr. Briefs blood was not found on Bunni, Brian's was, both types of blood was found on Dr. Briefs' work jacket, he said he held her as he watched her die, Bulma was supposedly already gone," The doctor finished. "Do you have any children Vegeta?"

"No," Vegeta shock his head as he looked at the doctor's pictures of his family.

"I don't understand one thing, why do it? If he loves his family, why lie, why do what he did. I believe he is responsible…"

Vegeta ran out of the office holding his jacket and down to his car, he began calling Goku's cell phone, "Goku? Fucking get out of that damn house!" Vegeta hung up after leaving the message and continued to call Goku. "God you fucking idiot, why can't you pick up you god damn phone," Vegeta listened to it ring and ring.

"Hello?"

"Yes, I need a back up squad at the Brief's resident immediately, I have an emergency," Vegeta yelled in the phone.

"Yes Detective Ouji, they will be there in a matter of minutes," Vegeta hung his phone up and threw it in the passenger's seat as he sped off towards the Brief's house.

Goku opened his eyes slowly as his looked around. The beating on the back of his head was pounding hard on his temples. Goku tries to talk but he is quickly sent into a halt as he realizes he was gagged, hand cuffed and tied to a chair. He was freezing as he looked around, he was in a cell and not alone.

Goku's eyes widen, it was Bulma Briefs. Goku struggles trying to get a better look, she was beaten everywhere, the bruises and the bleeding was recent. She laid on the cold ground tied up in dirty, bloody, and ripped clothing that had been a good week old. Goku starred as he realized was what going on. Dr Briefs…

Next Time:

Vegeta comes to the Brief's mansion and finds no Goku, only Dr. Briefs upstairs in the kitchen eating. They talk and yell, starting a fight can only lead to something…

Goku and Bulma are found but at a powerful cost, the killer is known and it is time to begin again with a new future…

See what happens in the next chapter; one step closer to the truth.

Author's Note:

Well, that was chapter Four; I know it seems like it is going pretty fast, but hey, there is more to come. And the next chapter is just as good, I promise. But I promise, Chapter Five is NOT the end, there are more chapters to be unlocked and I promise, no one will be disappointed…
