Chapter 3: The Phone Call
Gohan woke up, his alarm beeping. "Darn it! I'm late for work!" He raced to Capsule Corp, and went up to his office. Trunks Briefs came up to him. He wasn't happy to see Gohan late…again.
"You have a problem with authority, Mr. Son. You believe that you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you. Obviously, you are mistaken. This company is one of the top software companies in the world because every single employee understands that they are a part of a whole. Thus, if an employee has a problem, the company has a problem. The time has come to make a choice, Mr. Son. Either you choose to be at your desk on time from this day forth, or you choose to find yourself another job. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Mr. Briefs. Perfectly clear." He sat at his desk and found a phone on it. It rang, and he picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hello, Gohan. Do you know who this is?" The voice was unmistakable.
Gohan's knees gave way and he sank into the chair. "Goku…"
"I've been looking for you, Gohan. I don't know if you're ready to see what I want to show you, but unfortunately, we have run out of time. They're coming for you, Gohan. And I'm not sure what they're going to do."
"Who's coming for me?"
"Stand up and see for yourself."
Gohan stood up and saw the androids. He ducked.
"Oh, shit!"
"Yes."
"What the hell do they want with me?"
"I'm not sure, but if you don't want to find out, you better get out of there. I can guide you out, but you have to do exactly what I say."
The androids started to move towards the desk.
"The desk across from you is empty. Go! Now!"
Gohan ran to the other desk.
"Stay here. When I tell you, go to the end of the row to the first office on the left, stay as low as you can."
Gohan ran out and sneaked down the row, going in the first door on the left. The room is empty.
Goku gave him more instructions. "Outside is a scaffold. You can use it to get to the roof. It's a short climb, you can make it. There are only two ways out of this building. One is that scaffold. The other is in their custody. You take a chance either way. I leave it to you." He hung up.
Just then, a cop came in the door. He handcuffed Gohan and took him outside, into the black car.
