Yay! It's fixed!
Chapter three: AlexGohan landed just outside of Capsule Corp., hoping that it wasn't too late to save the boy he carried in his arms. He burst through the front doors of Capsule Corp.
"Get a doctor!" shouted Gohan as he ran through the lobby.
Not waiting on a answer, he ran through the corridors to the Medical wing.
"Get a doctor!" He shouted again at a surprised nurse that he almost ran nto.
"Give him to me." said an anxious voice behind him.
Gohan spun around and handed the boy over to the doctor that had appeared seemingly out of nowhere. The doctor took the boy and headed down a hall toward the ER. Gohan turned to follow but was stopped by a nurse.
"No, not that way." Said the nurse in a firm tone as she grabbed Gohan by the upper arm and lead him to the waiting room.
"Sit." Commanded the nurse.
Gohan sat down in the chair and readied himself for a long wait.
"Wish I had a senzu bean." Gohan mumbled.
"Senzu beans. Of course!Vegeta will probably have some." Gohan thought and bolted out of the waiting room, down the stairs, and through the halls towards the Gravity room.
Gohan reached the Gravity room in half a minute. Reaching the room he pulled open the door and ran in. Gohan glanced around trying to locate the senzu beans.
"Gohan what is it?" Bulma asked as she pulled herself out of the gravity machine.
"Where's the senzu beans?" Gohan asked.
"We don't have any. Why?" Bulma replied looking sternly at Gohan.
"I found a boy and he got shot and he needs a senzu bean now!" Gohan told her in a rush.
"The doctors have him now." Gohan said and left.
He went back up to the waiting room and sat down in a corner. Gohan picked up a magazine about different martial arts weapons and began reading it. After a whilehe looked up at the clock.
"I have been here for nearly two hours! what's taking so long?" Gohan thought.
Just then the doctor that took the boy into surgery walked into the waiting room.
" Is he ok?" Gohan asked, walking over to the man.
"He'll be fine, don't worry." The doctor told him.
Gohan feeling relieved asked
"Can I go see him now?"
"Yes, but not too long, he needs his rest; room number 264." The doctor said.
"Ok." Gohan said as he rushed past the doctor.
Gohan walked into the room and sat down in a chair.
"What happened? " asked the boy groggily.
"You got shot." Gohan told him
"Who are you? How did I get here" The boy asked in alarm.
"Calm down; I brought you here."Gohan said.
"My name's Gohan."
"What happened to the men?" The boy asked.
"I knocked them out." Gohan replied
"Whats your name?" Gohan asked
"Alex." Replied the boy.
"So you knocked out Toni and Eddie." Alex asked.
"You know those men?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah, they'reknow with my uncle" Alex replied calmly.
"You don't look like you could knock anyone out."
"I'm stronger than I look." Gohan replied.
"I guess so. Where's my sword." Alex asked
"Over there in the corner." Gohan replied with a nod of his head towards the corner.
"Get it for me, will ya?" Alex asked
Gohan got up picked up the sword and handed it to Alex.
"Thanks." Alex said
"No problem." Gohan replied.
Alex unsheathed the sword and ran his fingers over the blade.
"Good that idiot didn't dull it any." Alex said after running his fingers over the blade several times. He put back into the scabbard and laid it onto his lap.
"So why did you save me?" Alex questioned.
"It seemed like a good idea at the time." Gohan replied.
"You don't expect anything do you?" Alex asked.
"No, why would I?" Gohan replied.
"Because everybody always wants something ." Alex replied.
"I don't want anything from you." Gohan told him.
"Why was those men after you anyhow?" Gohan asked.
"Because they wanted some of money that I didn't have." Alex replied.
"How much?"
"Half a million." Alex replied.
"Half a million!" Gohan said in disbelief
"Yeah, they wanted it for a job I did." Alex told him.
"A job? What do you do?" Gohan asked.
"I kill people. Gangsters killers, hit men, drug dealers, people that deserve it.
"Your an assassin. " Gohan said in surprise.
"Yep, been one for two years now." Alex replied calmly.
"I worked for the Kaurai( Ka-ur-e) crime syndicate ." Alex told Gohan.
"Worked? As in not anymore?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah." Alex said.
"I quit about three months ago, those guys wanted the money I earned." Alex said.
"You earn five hundred thousand dollars in three months?." Gohan said astonished.
"No, I normally earn two million, but drug lords are hard to find." Alex replied, talking quitly
"Why is he telling me this?" Gohan thought
"I'm surprised that you're not freaked out by me being an assassin." Alex told him.
"I am; but I think every deserves a chance." Gohan said.
"You better leave, that nurse lookes like she ready to pull you out of here by the neck." Alex told Gohan.
"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye." Gohan told Alex and got up to leave.
"Gohan?" Alex said
"Yeah" Gohan said as he turned back around to face Alex.
"Take my sword with you and put it somewhere safe. Please."Alex asked.
"Sure." Gohan answered taking the sword.
"Good bye Alex. Gohan said as he went out of the door.
"Hey baby, time for my shot? Please tell me it's morphine." Gohan heard Alex say to the nurse as he went down the hall
"I wonder what mom is going to say about me making friends with an assassin? " Gohan thought as he walked down the hall to the elevator.
"I hope mom lets me stay here until Alex is better, I don't think I'm going to tell her what he does." Gohan thought while waiting on the elevator to open.
When the elevator did open he had to wait until everyone inside got out. He walked inside and pushed the
number one.
"Wonder what I'm going to do with this sword." Gohan thought as the elevator descended
. Gohan walked out of the elevator and went over to the phone. He picked up the receiver and dialed his phone number.
"Hello?" came Chichi's voice from the phone.
"Hi, Mom." Gohan said, "I was wondering if I could stay with Bulma for a while?"
"You expect me to let you stay at Bulma's the day after you come home nearly a hour late for dinner? And then you sneak out of your room in the middle of the night?" Chichi questioned
"Mom, please. My friend is in the hospital and I want to stay here until he gets out." Gohan told Chichi.
"Well, only because yout friend is in the hospital. Study everyday." Chichi said, giving in
"I will Mom. I'll be there in a few to get my clothes."Gohan said.
"I gotta go baby, Goten's hungry. Love you. Bye." Chichi said
"Love you too. Bye." Gohan said and hung up.
"Now all I have to do is ask Bulma." Gohan thought and headed for the Gravity room, thinking that Bulma would still be there.
Sure enough when Gohan walked through the door, he could see Bulma's head sticking out of the gravity machine.
"Bulma?" Gohan called.
"What?" She called back looking up from her work at Gohan.
"Can I stay here a little bit?" Gohan asked
"Sure. Here catch." She said as she tossed Gohan a capsule.
"It's a improved gravity machine, it can go up to one thousand times normal gravity." Bulma told Gohan as she turned back to her work.
"Thanks, but I don't have any where to put it." Gohan said.
"Sure you do. Just capsulize the one you have in your cave and put that one in its place." Bulma said still working.
"Just push the little blue button on the back of the old one." Bulma told Gohan.
"Thanks, I'm going to go and get my clothes, I'll be back in about an hour."Gohan told Bulma as he turned around to leave.
"I'll have a robot show you to your room when you get back."Bulma called after him.
Gohan went to the roof of Capsule Corp. so that he could fly and not be seen by the
people. He took off soaring straight up until he was just under the clouds; hovering there a moment to get his bearing beforeshooting off towards his home and his cave. After making a brief pit stop at his cave, Gohan went home and packed enough clothes for him about a month. After saying goodbye to Chi-Chi, Goten, and Trunks (He was spending the week here.), Gohan soared into the air and headed back to Capsule Corp.
"I better get someclothes for Alex, he may not have any." Gohan thought as he was flying over his cave.
"Naw, I have enough for both of us." He changed his mind as he kept flying higher into the sky, the duffle bag on this shoulder.
He got back to Capsule Corp. about dusk and went through the front doors where a robot came up and took him up to his room. He walked in and put the duffel bag on the floor. Gohan picked up a letter that was on the night stand and read
Dear
Gohan,
I have given you the room with a gravity chamber attached to it. Sorry about having only one bed but I'm sure you andAlex will manage. I'm sure that you will be staying here longer than you told
Chichi you would, but don't worry it's our little secret Hope youand your Alex has fun. You can put his sword under the bed.
Be good,
Bulma
Gohan finished the letter. Wondering how Bulma who Alex was.
"I'll ask her next time I see her." He decided and started to unpack clothes and put them in the big dresser at the far end of the room.
