-Session 001 "Why Spike Doesn't Live in Wilmington"

Spike tipped the ashes from the end of his cigarette and casually lifted a hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sun reflecting over the water.

"Got a light, cowboy?"

He turned and stared at a small young woman holding a cigarette and wearing nothing but jeans and a cutoff t-shirt that had the word "atticus" printed on the front. Slowly, he reached into his jacket's inner pocket, brushed past his gun, and pulled out a lighter. She leaned forward and inhaled as he held the flame to the end of her cigarette.

"Thanks, lil' buckaroo."

She started walking away, her hands deep in her sagging jeans. He grinned slightly as her jeans slipped down around her butt. Green and black striped panties greeted his amused eyes. She paused and hauled her pants back up to acceptable level. Stripes still showed.

Spike laughed appreciatively at the girl. She turned around, her hands in her pockets, her cigarette dangling from her lower lip. She grinned, saluted, and glided away, around a corner, and...gone.

Spike shrugged and turned in the opposite direction, his own cigarette dangling, his hands in his pockets. -------&

"Holy shit! That bitch is fucking sexy!" Cari relaxed against a wall as her brother and friends joined her in the alley. Her brother lit up a joint and she smacked it out of his hand.

"Mother fucker!" he yelled at her. She smirked back and handed him a cigarette. He smiled and lit up.

"Who's sexy?" asked ZACK L noncomittedly. He glanced casually at his brother, Matt, and smiled ever so slowly as Cari stuttered her reply, blushing mightily.

"You know who, you bastard."

"I might..."

Cari's brother, Daz, and Matt, who were the same age, both burst out laughing and both got swotted by her.

"Fucking teenagers.." muttered Cari as she threw her cigarette against the wall. She hitched her sagging pants up again and turned to Zack, "So, what's the gig?"

He closed his eyes and drawled, "The bank on 5th street...the big one...we got it tonight." Cari stared at him. "Is that all?" He opened his cool grey eyes and stared back at her; "Yeah...sweetcakes."

She gave him the finger. --------&

"Ahhh! The bounty on him is 12 million woolongs! You can't be serious! Are we really gonna let him go?!"

Jet sighed heavily and muttered, "Shut up. I've got a headache." Faye flopped on the couch and told Ed, "Men are pigs. Is he the highest bounty?"

Ed turned to the monitor and scanned quickly, humming a strange tune. "Hah Hah! Fayeeee...! Lookie! This little girl has a bounty of 50 million woolongs!!"

"WHAT?!" cried Faye and Jet in unison as they rushed over to Ed. Ein whined and walked away. They stared at a picture of a girl with poofy black hair and a smirk.

"She's only 10! I don't think..." Faye trailed off and bit her lip. "How can a 10-year-old have a bounty that huge?!"

A large bang made them flinch and both sighed, "Spike..." Spike threw his jacket on the back of the couch and called, "Hey! Got a new bounty yet?!"

Both threw him withering glances and turned back to the flickering screen.

Spike scratched his head and slumped on the couch, lighting a new cigarette. "Anyway, I met a cute girl. REAL cute." Immediately, Faye's head swiveled in his direction.

Spike's closed eyes drew Faye's attention. "And?" she prompted. Spike opened his eyes; "She's the one in that bounty picture you guys got. Except she's not 10 anymore. Or never was. She's around 19. I think."

Faye laughed, "A kid!"

Spike cocked an eyebrow, "I don't think so."

Ein and Ed smiled at each other.

Jet clapped a hand to his forehead.

Faye and Spike stared at each other.

"Race ya..." whispered Spike. -------&

Cari examined the door, then tried the handle. Jammed. She coughed casually and shut her eyes as Zack kicked the door open. No alarm sounded.

Daz and Matt raced in, each armed with a bag and their fists. Cari watched their retreating forms, each swaying as they ran.

She leaned against the wall, cupping her lighter with one hand, her cigarette in her mouth. Zack eyed her and sleepily sank onto the ground.

"We never do the fun stuff anymore. It's getting too easy." Cari crossed her arms, sat down next to him and said with closed eyes, "Soon, we'll start the big time. Once we get enough cash from this last raid, we can go to Mars. Big time fun there."

Zack laughed and put an arm on her shoulders, "Can't wait..."

Daz and Matt came sidling out of the back door, each carrying two bags apiece. Cari looked up at her brother and asked, "How much?"

He grinned, glanced at Matt, and shook his head, "We're going back in, we can get more. A lot more." He and Matt walked back in, with two more bags. Zack stood up and slouched away muttering, "I'll get Daisy." Cari watched him go then rested her hand on the bags of woolong cards. A shadow fell on her hand. A body shadow.

She sighed and closed her eyes, reclining against the wall. She waited a few seconds, heard the body posture shift then lashed out with her leg and foot, tripping the person.

"Whoa, hey! Just needed a light!" cried a familiar voice.

Cari opened her eyes and saw the face she wanted to see. He grinned back at her and jerked his thumb to his crumpled cigarette that was hanging in his mouth. She frowned and shrugged, moving the bags behind her and away from him.

Spike shifted and said again, "So...got a light?" Cari raised one shoulder and stared past him, hoping one of the guys would show up so they could go; she really didn't want to fight Spike Spiegal.

Suddenly a hand clamped down on her shoulder. A hand with nails, that were digging horribly into her shoulder. "Ow!" she turned and saw Faye Valentine smirking above her, her boobs almost directly in Cari's face. "Ew!" Cari scooted back, closer to Spike and farther from Faye's illustrious chest.

"How can you stand her?" She whispered to Spike. He chuckled softly and replied, "It's not easy, but I manage." Faye became very red in the face and hissed, "Shut up, just bring the little god damn girl." Cari stood up quickly and faced Faye, "I'm short, yeah, but NOT little. Fucking bitch." She crossed her arms and called into the bank door, "Oy! Daz, Matt! Hurry, sons!"

She suddenly heard someone whistling, and he was approaching rapidly. She glanced behind Spike and saw Zack. He smiled at her and quickly took the woolong bags behind Spike, sprinting back to Daisy. Faye cried out as she saw Zack and she raced over to the vehicle, but Zack was backing out and zooming away. Faye stood at the end of the alley-way, watching him disappear into traffic.

Just then, Daz and Matt appeared at the entrance and stared at the scene in front of them. Daz casually walked up to Cari and threw an arm over her shoulder, "Hey sis." Matt walked quietly around Spike's back and scuttled up a fire-ladder, to the roof where Zack was probably waiting.

Faye walked slowly back to Cari and Spike, her gun drawn. Cari's and Daz's eyes widened at the gun and they slowly picked up the remaining bags and started backing away.

"Hey. Where're you going?" Spike turned his head to look at them and he too pulled out a gun. Cari smirked and nodded. At the same time, she and Daz lept into the air, kicking their legs out identically. Spike reached up almost lazily to catch their feet. However, they were expecting this and twisted exactly to both land gigantic kicks on Spike's shoulders. Spike felt their legs brush his arm, they were that close.

Then he felt their converse sneakers jamming into his shoulders and a fist landing a nice one on his jaw. He saw Cari's smirk as he toppled backwards. Faye began firing. "No Faye! Damnit!" he called as he lay on the hard pavement. He saw sneakers running from them, and scrambling up the ladder. He lay and watched Faye run after them brandishing her gun. Finally, he saw their craft take off and speed away.

He smiled.
