Chapter 3

“Hey Joey, which place are we raiding tonight?” John asked after finishing his cigarette.

“Raiding?” Vegeta asked himself.

“You see, poor people like us don’t have money.  To survive, we need to steal.  Is trying to
survive a crime?” Joey told Vegeta.

“Uh, no.”

“We’ll tell you which place we’re raidin’ after you change from those clothes.  You look like you
just came from a Halloween party.”

“Here Allan,” Joel cried and threw some clothes at Vegeta.  “The washroom is at the end of the
hall.”  Vegeta took the clothes and exited the room.

After ten minutes, Vegeta came back.  He was dressed in a red sleeveless shirt, a black leather
jacket over it, and in black jeans.

“Hey man, you look great,” John commented.

“Now boys, listen up.  Tonight, we’re raidin’ a place called Capsule Corporation.  That’s the
place that makes them capsules that turn into differen’ things,” Joey instructed as they huddled
up.  “We steal as many capsules as we can and sell ‘em to a store.”

“Cool, let’s go now.  I can’t wait,” Joel said excitedly.

***

“Here we are,” Joey told everyone as they reached Capsule Corporation.  “It’s dark, it’s quiet, ‘n’
I like it.  Okay everyone, here’s da plan.  Joel, John you two come with me.  Allan, you stay here
‘n’ watch.”  Joey, Joel, and John opened an air vent and crawled inside.  Allan, er, Vegeta just
stood where he is, looking for any signs of trouble.

“I wonder what that could be?” Vegeta asked himself as he heard a noise but he couldn’t make
out what it was.  He traced the source of the noise and it sounded familiar.  It was the cries of a
woman.  He found Bulma on her balcony, crying.

“Vegeta, please come home,” Bulma sobbed.

“I wonder why she’s crying.”  Vegeta looked at Bulma harder.  “She looks... she looks familiar
and gorgeous too.”  Vegeta kept staring at Bulma, wondering why she looked so familiar and
kept admiring her beauty.  “It feels like I’ve met her before.  Why does she look so familiar?”
Vegeta asked himself and then felt a hand on his shoulder.

“What do you think you’re doing here?” John whispered.

“Oh nothing.  Where are the others?”

“They’re waiting for us.  Man, you won’t believe how much stuff we got.  Now, let’s go before
we get spotted.”  The two ran out of the bush where Vegeta was hiding.

“Huh?” Bulma gasped as she saw a familiar silhouette running around below.  “Could it be
Vegeta?  Vegeta!  Vegeta!” she called out but there was no answer.  She quickly ran out of the
balcony and went outside.  “Vegeta!  VEEGGGEEETTTTAAA!” she called out again, her voice
echoing throughout the whole place.  Again, there was no reply.  “Maybe, I imagined the whole
thing.  Vegeta where on Earth are you?” Bulma thought.

“Man, we’ve made a hundred bucks tonight,” Joel said happily while walking down the street.

“Joel, hide the loot.  Here comes a copper,” John cried.  Joel putted the money in his pocket just
before they came across the policewoman.

“What are you bums up to?” she asked.

“Nothin’ Officer Jenny,” Joey answered.

“Ah, who’s the new guy?”

“Him, he’s Allan... um, uh, John’s cousin.”

“Yeah, he’s my cousin,” John chuckled, putting his hand on Vegeta’s shoulder.

“Yeah whatever.  Stay out of trouble, I don’t want to haul you in like last month.”

“Yes officer,” they said in unison.

“Come on, let’s go back to the hideout,” Joel suggested as the officer left them.

***

Bulma came to the police station the following day.  She went to a counter, waiting for an officer.
After a few minutes of waiting, an officer came up to her.

“What can I do for you miss?” the officer asked.

Bulma looked at her ID and it was Jenny.  She then took out a picture of Vegeta and showed it to
her.  “This is my boyfriend Vegeta.  He’s been missing for a couple of days.”

“What?  The guy just looks like Allan,” Jenny thought after looking at the picture.
