Chapter: Six: "Where am I"Pan mumbled as her eye's fluttered open. "You are in my home I brought you here after you passed out"replied Altor. "Hey I don't remember passing out"said Pan,she tried to sit up but found she haddent the strenth.Altor came over to her and handed her a glass of something unrecognizable. "Of course you don't remember passing out,how could you?"Altor remarked sarcastecly"Drink this it will help you to recover your strenth". Pan took a sip of the green liquid"Eww it taste's like sweat sock's and tar what is this?"she asked sticking out her toung. Altor looked rather insulted by her disdain for his toxic cocktail"It is a secret recipe that has been passed down through many generation's of Lackden warrior's you are the first none Lackden ever to drink it,this is a great gift that I have bestowed upon you". "Well if this is a gift can I return it?".replied Pan "You know for a princess you are a real pain in the butt!". "Hey I wasen't a princess untill last night and so far it hasent been a stroll through the palace so how about cutting me some slack?"replied Pan. "You are right I sometime's forget how hard this can be I am sorry princess"said Altor apologeticly. "It's alright"said Pan there was an awkward silence between them as they stared at eachother. "So this is where you live"Pan asked as she found the strenth to stand.As far as she could tell they were in some kind of basement it was warm but the brick wall's were dirty and moss covered,everywhere candle's were ablaze and they chased away the sorounding darkness. "Yes this has been my home since you were a child" Pan looked over at a large push pin board all over it were pictrue's of Pan and her family Pan stared amazed at snapshot's of her when she first learned to fly and picture's of the twin's playing with Goten there were even a few polarode's of her Father defeating Cell,countless other picture's were spread across the wall a whole biography of there live's. "You have spent your whole life gaurding me, how could I have not noticed you until now" "Simple"he replied smugly"I am very good at what I do.To be honest you wouldent have even known about me if I hadent let my gaurd down so you could use your scences to feel me out". Pan nodded her head and continude to look at the picture's when her gaze fell upon a section of shot's that filled her with rage there in the upper right hand corner of the board were picture's of Kobi and Banki.Pan tore the picture's from the board the corner's ripped and push pin's went flying across the cement floor"How long did you know that Kobi was actully Cole?"she asked angralie waveing the picture's in his face. "I have known all along"he replied cooly "Why dident you tell me" "What diference would it have made it certenly would not have stopped you from trying to help Trunk's"he snapped. Pan sucked in a deep breath"No it wouldent have stopped me but I would have been better off knowing who he was that way I might have protected myself better and maybe I would have found a solution so that I woulden't have gotten caught at all,you ask me what difference it would have made well I'll tell you,had I have known who Cole really was I would never have asked my friend's to help me and they never would have been captured so now that I have told you it is your turn you tell me why diden't you tell me who Cole really was?" Altor's intense blue eye's softend "I will tell you but now is not the time nor the place,for as you have said your friend's need help now,so let us go you will return home and tell your mother and father everything and I will go find Prince Goten and tell him everything we will meet back at your home and from there all of us will return to fire mountain". "Yes you are right, now we have more importaint thing's to attend too"Pan agreed grudgingly. Altor walked over to Pan and grabed her hand"Come I will lead you out"he said"When they reached the street Pan was surprised to see that she was in the old house at the end of her block"I dident know you lived here I thought this place was condemed". "That's kind of the look I'm going for"replied Altor with a laugh. "Wow that is the first time I have heard you laugh"said Pan stareing at him with surprise. "Does it offend you?"he asked solomly "Of course not why do you ask" "Well it is against the code of the Lackden to have such affiliation's with the royal family even what we are doing now is a gross misconduct". "We arent doing anything"Pan replied. Altor lifted his hand and showed that his and Pan's finger's were still entertwined. "Oh right"Pan said with a nervouse laugh as she untangled her finger's from Altor's another odd silence lapsed between them and a wierd electricety filled the void. "I better go"Pan said quickly pulling away from the moment. "Yes and be safe princess"Altor said after her . "Don't call me princess" Pan replied as she ran down the street. As Pan reached her house she could see police car's in the driveway there light's were flashing"Oh great Mom and Dad must be worried sick about me". Pan walked up the step's and into her house as she came into the liveing room she saw her Father holding her Mother both of them were crying and upset,Police were everywhere and one policeman spoke to them assurinly"Don't worry"he said"We have the best officer's searching right now and we arent going to stop". "Mom,Dad"said Pan finally speaking up it unnerved her greatly to see her father so upset.They both looked up at her. "Pan where have you been?"we were worried sick about you and you know you are not allowed out at this hour"Videl said,jumping up and hugging her daughter. "I'm sorry but you dident have to call the police I'm a big girl and I found my way home".Pan replied looking around at all the police.When Pan said that Videl crumbled to the floor and began sobbing. "Mom what's wrong I'm sorry I'm late but I'm home now please stop crying"said Pan now she was on the verge of tear's herself. "Pan,the police arent here for you."said Gohan. "Well who are they here for then?"Pan asked. "Come here Pan"said Gohan as he sat on the couch"I have something to tell you". Pan did as she was told she sat on the couch beside her father and he spoke softly to her"Pan,today after your mother went and got Chibi and Kayla from you she brought them home and grounded them to there room where they were sopposed to stay until supper but when dinner was ready and your mother called them they dident come down and when your mother went upstair's to get them they were gone,now we know that Kayla and Chibi wouldent leave the house without telling us but we need to know did you take them somewhere we won't be mad you are there older sister and you do have the right but if you know where they are tell us right now." "Are you kidding me,I would never take them without telling you".exclaimed Pan. "Well you already did once today why wouldn't you do it again?"said Videl all of the sudden she had stopped crying and her voice now sounded very angry. "Videl calm down"Gohan replied jumping out of his seat and walking over to his wife. "I will not calm down my babie's are gone and nobody know's where they are and my oldest daughter is off who know's where doing who know's what at all hour's of the night go to your room Pan and stay there you are grounded forever!"Videl yelled. "But mom I have to tell you something import........." "I don't want to hear anything you have to say now go to your room now" "But Mom it's about the" "I said NOW"Videl shouted,pointing upstair's. "Dad you have to listen to me"Pan said pleadingly "Do as your mother say's we will be up later to talk to you"Gohan answered. Pan sighed exasperatedly,and ran upstair's to her room slaming the door after her. Pan placed her head on the closed door and fought back tear's. "Why so sad Pan"said an all to familer voice. Pan turned quickly to see Kobi standing in her room he was dressed like a police officer. She was about to attack when he spoke again"I don't suggest you do that not if you ever want to see Kayla and Chibi again". "You took them,you monster"Pan whispered horsely. "Of course,I had to find some way to persuad you to return to Fire Mountain and this seemed like the best course of action,considering the fact you broke my son's nose I thought it best to lure you back with as little struggle as possible". "Now Pan the Twin's are as of this moment safe as are your friend's from the van but any funny buisness from you and I cannot garentee that they will not be harmed so come along now and I will take you to them". Pan felt helpless and that was alway's something she hated but with presiouse little alternative she had no choice but to go with him"Here put this on "he said tossing her a policeman's uniform.She threw it on over her cloth's. "Now you go firstout the back door,there is a black car across the street go to it and get in and if you have any thought's of being heroic I suggest you replace them with thought's of your friend's".Kobi said cooly. Pan did as she was told she went out the back door and walked across the street and got into the black car that was waiting for her.Inside the car was Banki and two other people she dident know. "Well how nice to see you again Pan you are looking rather beautiful tonight"Banki said looking her over from top to bottem"I love a girl in uniform". "How's the nose"Pan asked with a disdainful laugh,Banki touched the crisp white bandage that covered his brused and broken nose.He then looked very angry and grabbed Pan by the her hair and pulled her close,she could feel his breath on her face."You won't be laughing by tonight"he whispered horsely. "Banki"said Cole as he got into the car"That is no way to treat a princess,touch her again and you will have me to deal with,after all we don't want to bruse your brother's bride". As Kobi said this Pan felt a cloth go over her mouth she tried to scream but cloraform filled her scence's "Welcome to the family"Kobi said with a smile,Pan's eye's then closed and she was sent into oblivion. "What are we going to do"asked Goten.He Trunk's and Uub were sitting outside in front of Trunk's house they had been there since late afternoon.When Bra had called them and told them to come strait to Cole's appartment building they did but when they got there Bra and the other's were gone,the van was nowhere to be found and the cell phone was not working,They had decided that something went wrong and the girl's probably had to leave in a hurry and would meet them back here but that had been eight hour's ago and still no one had came back. "Guy's there is something seriously wrong I can feel it".said Trunk's. "You are right Trunk's"said Altor as he emerged from the shadow's. The three guy's jumped into fighting stance"Who are you and how do you my name?"Trunk's asked. "I am Altor and I have known all of you since you were children..........".
