Author's Note: I felt almost obligated to have Videl saying "what's the sitch" after referencing Kim Possible in the last chapter name. Got me to smile when I imagined her saying it. So why not.
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball Z. At all. I only own my fond childhood memories of it and some of the movies on DVD.

"What's the sitch, Chief?" Despite Videl's excitement about finally being on a new case she was still concerned. The principle of Satan Elementary, though it was Orange Star back then, had been there when she was just a kid. He was an incredibly kind older man and well-loved by the community last she knew.
The police chief sighed, "We've been looking into that. It seems the school district has decided to let him go after this year."
She blinked, "This seems a bit extreme for that. Even if this place is his whole life."
"He planned to retire after next year and didn't bother hiding it. They are purposely doing this so they don't have to pay him retirement. The severance package is less money."
Videl was aghast and felt disgusted with the district, "That's-!"
"I know." He shook his head, "Try to go easy on him, Videl. He's gotten on in years." He watched her nod before circling the building to find a way to sneak in without alerting her old principal. "If it were possible I'd try to arrest the district for this. After everything this man has done to help our children for the last three decades I can't say I blame him for losing it."
