Chapter 3

The next afternoon Bulma and Torrance had made themselves very comfortable in an abandoned shack on a rocky cliff in the middle of the desert in Nevada. The road was a couple hundred meters away, far enough that you couldn't make out faces without the aid of binoculars. Sarah was to be transported by car through the canyon that they were in and they were supposed to be coming up over the horizon on the road any minute now.

Bulma was typing away on her lap top getting the mines set and ready as Torrance walked in, "The mines are set and ready." She said.

"Good, I'm just activating them right now. You wanna get the snipe rifles ready?" Bulma asked while wiping the sweat from her brow. Juu was right, Bulma could barely even handle the sweat, even wearing a white tank top with kaki shorts.

"Bulma why did you bring that thing?" Torrance asked as she assembled their guns.

"Bring what thing?" she asked and turned around to look at her partner.

"Your computer."

"Because it's my computer. Why wouldn't I?"

"Well we have more then enough at work that you could have used."

"Well I like using mine when it comes to things like this. We can't afford to screw this up because of a faulty lap top. It would trust mine over any of the ones at work any day." Bulma explained and turned back around.

She put her eye piece on, attaching it to her ear so that it would stay steady. The pink plastic stretched across over the eye that was closest to the ear she had put it on. She pressed a few buttons on the side of it and magnified her vision so she could see the cars coming through the canyon.

For some reason Bulma couldn't get Vegeta out of her head. She didn't know why. The last time she saw him was amazing but her mind never usually strayed from a mission and onto him. There was this one reoccurring memory that kept coming back to her. She slightly dazed off as she thought back to one of the first times her and Vegeta went out before they got married.

"Well I'm getting another soda. Can you hold these for me Bulma?" The man named Goku asked as he handed her a couple of throwing darts.

"Uh, sure." She said awkwardly as he went up to the bar.

It was her first time meeting some of Vegeta's friends, most of which worked with him as an architect. Goku's girlfriend was there, Chichi, which was nice because she wasn't the only girl there. She seemed nice too, a little crazy but Bulma didn't mind that much.

"The man comes to a bar and gets soda. What a moron." Vegeta grunted as he took a swig of his beer. He looked over at Bulma holding the darts and smirked. "You might wanna be careful with those woman, don't wanna poke an eye out."

The other guy laughed along with Vegeta, whose name was Tien, and she looked at him with a playful glare.

"Oh yeah? I bet I can throw my first dart right into the bull's eye, from across the bar." Bulma challenged which made Vegeta roar with laughter. She loved his laugh.

"Be my guest woman." Vegeta said and Bulma flicked her long hair over her shoulder and walked across to the other end of the bar.

She turned around and looked at the dart board. She took one of the darts, looked directly at the bulls eye and threw the dart instantly. Low and behold, the dart ended smack dab in the center of the circular board.

She strutted back over to them and Goku and Tien were snickering at Vegeta's dumbfounded expression. Chichi was grinning and gave her a thumbs up.

"So, would you like to discuss the terms of the be of what you own me now, or later?" Bulma asked with a sweet smile.

Vegeta leaned in and spoke in her ear, "Later...at my place."

"You're gonna have to buy me another drink first." She said and winked at him.

When Bulma came back to reality she looked out into the distance to see the cars coming around the bend.

"Right on time." Bulma said and pressed another button that would record everything she was seeing and everything that Torrance would see through her yellow eye piece. "You done with those yet?"

"Yeah, here." Torrance replied and handed Bulma her rifle.

"Ok, so once they get into the field I'll detonate the mines. They will all stop and some men with surround the perimeter of the cars, leaving Sarah inside with a few men. I'll knock out the ones outside with my tranq darts and then you take her out once it's clear. Then we're done and get the hell out of here." Bulma explained and she turned back to her computer.

Torrance nodded and as she got herself ready she noticed an awful lot of typing on Bulma's end of the shack. "Everything alright?" she asked.

"I'm getting something on the radar." Bulma said, "It's North East of us, high in altitude."

"Is it a rocket? Jet? Another copter?" Torrance asked as she stepped just outside of the shack and looked up into the sky North East of them. She magnified her eye piece to search for it.

"It's…stationary?" Bulma said confused as she typed frantically, "So it can't be any of those."

"I see it!" Torrance cried. It was too far in the air for her to see it clearly since the magnification would only go so far on the eye piece, "If I had to make an educated guess right now I'd say it's an android. It definitely looks like a man."

"That's impossible." Bulma said quickly, continually looking out at the cars that were steadily approaching the field, "We got rid of all of the androids ever made by Gero except for number 18. Whatever it is just get rid of it. They're almost in range of the mines."

"I'm on it." Torrance said and grabbed her rifle. She aimed at the figure in the sky and fired as best as she could. She only hoped the bullet made it, "Got it!" she cried once she saw the figure move because of the impact of the bullet.

"Good." Bulma replied and pressed the detonation button on her computer just as the cars entered the field.

"Oh shit!" Torrance cried and quickly grabbed Bulma and dragged them out of the shack.

"Hey!" Bulma cried as Torrance held onto her arm tightly and headed towards their helicopter

Vegeta floated silently in the sky as he waited patiently. It took him not more then 20 minutes to fly here and he could already see the cars coming over the horizon. He floated there with his arms crossed trying to concentrate hard on the target, but the blasted woman was continuously on his mind, almost 24/7. He couldn't explain how or why but Bulma's face would always be present in his mind no matter what.

When the cars started to drive close enough he prepared a small energy ball in his hand capable of creating a lake in the ground. He would destroy all the cars and all inhabitants in the cars in a matter of seconds.

What a rookie assignment. Vegeta thought and as he was about to launch his attack he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder. He winced at the shock of the attack, not the actual physical pain, and looked down at his right shoulder. The bullet grazed him but left quite a cut that was bleeding over his blue suit. He growled in anger that he could ever let an enemy catch him off guard like that.

He scanned the canyon floor and found the source of the attack. It wasn't that hard to find because it certainly wasn't the cars and he could sense 2 ki levels inside of the small shack.

He powered up and blasted the shack with the energy intended for the target. He didn't care who they were but they would die for even attempting to kill him. It was most likely the competition and if that was so, he definitely didn't have a problem killing them.

Just as he released the ball of energy towards the shack there was an explosion down on the ground where the cars were. "Shit." Vegeta swore as he looked back at the shack. It was now in ruins and the cars with the target were now trying to get away from the danger.

Vegeta was too pissed off to even remember about the target and went to search the rubble of the shack for survivors. He landed just as a helicopter rose into the air a few meters away and flew off. The target was now gone and out of sight.

For once Vegeta decided to attack with a more tactical approach. He would search the rubble for anything incriminating, find the headquarters of the competition and blow them out of the water.

Later that evening all the girls waited outside of "Father's" office for Bulma to come out. They had never heard their boss' voice raised at such a level where they could hear him through the walls of his office. A few moments later Bulma rushed out of the room looking flustered, and quickly made her way to her desk.

Everyone stood around her desk in silence and waited for her speak. Bulma pulled out a mirror from her desk and examined her cuts on her fore head close to her hair line. She had already looked after the ones on her arm and she would put a long sleeved shirt on before she went home.

Bulma sighed and slammed the mirror down on the desk and looked up at her fellow employee's. "We need to clean this up A-SAP. We have to hit that target and find out who the other player is, and we have to do it fast." She said seriously.

They all nodded and got to work except for Juu and Torrance. "Tore, I need you to get the tape of what you saw of that..whatever it was and examine it immediately. I wanna know who that fucker is. Report back to me once you've done that." She said and Torrance left.

"I've got to get back Juu. I promised Vegeta that-"

"Don't worry B. I'll cover you. Go home and relax. We'll get this sorted out by tomorrow. In the mean time, I have some cover up with me to help with you forehead."

"Thank Kame it's Friday." Bulma said exhaustedly as she smiled at her friend.

Later that night Bulma walked into her house to find all the lights off except for the one in her bedroom upstairs. She came in and juggled all of the bags in her arms around just so she could shut the door behind her. She kicked off her shoes and walked upstairs and into her room. She set her things down on the desk and turned around to see that her husband was in the bathroom.

"Hey babe. I brought home some Chinese." Bulma said as she walked into the bathroom.

Vegeta was only wearing jeans and had just wiped his face clean from the water he used to wash his face. He looked at her strangely through the mirror and she new instantly that he saw it.

How does he do that?

He grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him. He stared at her hard but he had concern in his eyes.

"What happened?" he asked.

Bulma had to think quickly. If she waited too long he'd know she was lying.

Fuck, I should have planned something!

"It-I-ran into Yamcha on the way back from the Chinese place…" She lied right through her teeth, "…he was drunk again."

He glared and turned to leave with a low growl to go and find him and kick his ass, but Bulma quickly grabbed his right arm to stop him. He didn't deserve to get beaten to a pulp for actually not doing anything this time.

"Vegeta don't! Please I'm o—Vegeta…?" Bulma asked when she finally noticed his shoulder.

It had a white bandage taped on it and she could see some of the blood that had already been absorbed.

"How did you-" Bulma asked as she slowly took off the bandage.

"Some punk tried to steal my car after work." Vegeta quickly said as he watched her lovingly take care of his wound, "The bullet grazed over the skin, nothing serious. I gave him an ass kicking he'd never forget though."

He smirked as she kissed his would and then her tongue appeared from her mouth and she lightly licked away some of the blood.

Merely seeing this act with his own eyes made his heart race. She just…! She had just technically ingested some of his blood. He had once before, during their love making, bit her on the neck and drank some of her blood. It was a saiyan bonding process that happened between two long time lovers usually just because of instinct unless intentional if the 2 had not been lovers for very long. He had bitten her instinctively and never thought of her reciprocating it ever since because for one thing she had no idea that he was an alien so she wouldn't know to do so if she wanted to complete it.

Their bond was complete and Bulma had no idea. Not a single clue of what it meant, but Vegeta did, and strangely it made him happy. He didn't think it would matter to him, but it did. He was really happy about it and couldn't take his eyes away from his beautiful mate. We're truly together…Forever…

Bulma noticed him staring and looked up at him. She smiled at his strange expression, one that she had not seen for a while.

"What is it?" she asked with a slight giggle, "Something on my face?"

Suddenly Vegeta grabbed her face and captured her lips with his. It was sudden and full of passion. What got into him? …Kame Bulma! Don't complain! Bulma giggled against his lips and wrapped her arms around his neck as he held onto her waist tightly. He slowly directed them towards their shower and hoisted her inside, following quickly. He gently pressed her against the tile wall and kissed her again but softer as he slowly turned on the water. Bulma shrieked and laughed as the cold water hit her skin unexpectedly. Vegeta laughed huskily at her reaction.

"Don't worry woman, it's going to get warm soon enough." He said evilly.
