Chapter 3 – Unexpected Turn

POV Izzy

He had been gone for three days. I know some missions took several days. I wasn't worried, but I strangely couldn't get him out of my head. Meanwhile, I kept looking for missing documents. But the more I searched the more questions I got. Then I saw a notification in my screen that someone was coming in. I looked up, but saw my commander. "Izzy, how is work going?" It was an older, strict man. "Commander Toot. Yeah good, we're typing along nicely commander" I stood up straight and saluted him. "I was told you were nosing around the archives of planet Vegeta a few times." I looked at him and nodded yes. "There was a question if I could find out about a flight". The commander looked at me "Stop that immediate, there's nothing to find there" and with that he walked away. With a sigh I plumped down on my chair. How am I going to say this to Raditz?

Two hours later and I saw another notification on my screen. But this time I didn't look up, I smelled coffee! Startled, I looked up. My heart made a jump. "Raditz" I just had to smile. "Did you miss the coffee so much" he joked. I shook my head no. I got up to grab the coffee; I didn't see that he still had his hand around it. "Oh sorry" and I pulled my hand away. It almost felt like an electric shock. He had a grin on his face. "Do you have any news for me?" I looked around, I didn't see anyone else. But I got a bad feeling. I felt like I couldn't talk openly. I pointed to his scouter, he handed it to me. As I put up his scouter and started to push the side, I told him "No, the documents are not complete. There is nothing to find. Your little brother's flight is unfortunately completely unfindable". I saw a very angry Raditz. I pressed his scouter back into his hand and he stormed off.

POV Raditz

First, pretend she knew everything and could find everything. I couldn't believe that girl. She fooled me. And what the hell it was with that scouter. I put it on and saw a pop up message. I pressed it; I just read After dinner come to room 696. What was this now? Had she found something and couldn't talk openly? What a smart girl! But wait, was room 696 her room? Was she now inviting me to her room?

A few hours later, I walked up to room 696. I had not seen her in the canteen. I reached the door. It was the part of the facility where the boring office people lived. I ran into one every now and then and they looked puzzled and scared. A strong Saiyan warrior normally had no business being here either. There was the room. I knocked and it was opened cautiously. I saw two ruby colored eyes. Her hair was loose and she was wearing a simple black dress. She pulled me in quickly.

She walked in front of me. Her dress was very short, her long legs seemed endless without her boots on. Her skirt ended just below her buttocks. As she walked her hips rocked back and forth. We entered a small studio. She had a laptop on a desk. She sat down by it. I went and sat on the end of her bed. There were no other couches or chairs. "What could you just not say there?" I asked softly. She turned to me. "I was warned by my commander to put this to rest, but something is not right. There were documents purposely removed from the time just before the end of your planet." Startled, I looked at her "Why?" She got up and sat down next to me "I want to know that too".

POV Izzy

Ok I'm way too close to him now, I shouldn't have done this. This guy had a wild attraction and I'm just a dull girl. Also he was at least eight years older, had seen so much more of the universe than her. She wanted to get up but he stopped her. His hand around her wrist. She turned to face him. "It's going to take maybe a little longer than a week. But I'd like to help you find your brother. I know that archive better than anyone. But may need a little more coffee". He looked at me tightly; a big smile appeared on his face. My heart made a little jump.

"Izzy?" He looked at me questioningly. "If you're not allowed to do research. How are you going to figure it out?" "Now I really need to get up, I'll show you". He let go of my wrist, I stood up and grabbed my laptop. I sat down next to him and showed him charts. "These are charts generated automatically by satellites. I will have to go through them and calculate where a ship is coming from. They may have removed everything about the planet Vegeta around that time. But these maps are for everyone to see." I looked up at the man next to me; he was looking at me full of emotion. He pushed my laptop shut. I put my laptop next to me. My heart was pounding in my throat, that's how intensely he was looking at me. His hand disappeared behind my neck and he pulled me to him all at once. His lips wildly on mine, he lifted me onto his lap. My hands caught his face. I pushed him away slightly and looked up at him. With a moan, I started kissing him again.

POV Raditz

We lay naked next to each other, still a little out of breath. She looked at me so sweetly. It was her first time. Her eyes fell slowly shut she then fell asleep. A kiss on her temple and I grabbed my clothes. I put on my armor. I grabbed a blanket and threw it over my archive girl. Her pink hair lay wild beside her. I walked out the door; in the hallway I met her commander. He looked at me tightly. I got a strange fore feeling. "Commander Toot, I heard that sadly Izzy can't find anything for me. I tried to convince her anyway. But she really can't find anything". Toot turned around "Yes it is very unfortunate, it was a messy time back then". We walked on; I hope Izzy doesn't get into trouble because of this.

I entered the living quarters where our team lives. Nappa was doing pushups and Vegeta was sitting quietly on a chair with his arms crossed and eyes closed. Nappa stood up "And what did your little girlfriend want from you". I let myself fall against the wall. Arms crossed I looked at my teammate. "There are parts missing from the archive, her commander told her not to examine it further. She doesn't trust it, but she has a way of finding out nonetheless." I closed my eyes and heard Vegeta. "I already had a feeling the stories weren't true. All three of us looked at each other. Silently we got up, Nappa went back to his pushups and Vegeta disappeared to his room. I walked to my own room, and quickly fell asleep.
