Alright as all of you already know, I'm doing some serious heavy duty editing to all of my stories. When I originally wrote them I did no spell check thinking that everything was ok but rereading and looking back on everything I feel horrible for not doing so. What kind of writing am I for letting you all read this sloppy grammatical mess? Anyways I'm also thinking about a sequel so if your interested let me know and oh check my profile for possible post dates and upcoming stories.


A/N: Hey everybody,

So the results are in and I have chosen the idea of Kendra Luehr (like duhh, she was the only one who sent a review, thanks Kendra!).This is my first Cowboy Bebop fanfic and I fell so excited. So you could flame me if you want as along as you review. Ok I think that's the gist of it, so enough of my rambling.

Disclaimer: Oh…One more thing before I forget, I don't own Cowboy Bebop. I'm just another broke fan.

The Will To Win

Chapter One: The Life of An F.B.I. Agent

Faye's P.O.V

If I were to tell you my life was peaches and cream, I would be lying right trough my teeth. Life and fate was always a game with me, but that didn't mean I couldn't live a little. I had a horrible past that involved nothing but violence. A past that always involved someone getting hurt or even killed. My parents were murdered right in front of me. I vowed to myself that I would never let that happen to anyone else. I distanced myself from people in hopes of protecting them. That's why I live a life of an F.B.I agent. My name… is Faye Valentine and my revenge is to protect the innocent and kill those that harm them.


Beep ..Beep..Beep..Beep..Beep..Beep

The buzzing of that damn annoying alarm clock rings as Faye Valentine reaches over to turn it off.

"Mmm…I don't wanna get up." Faye groaned under her pillow. She sunk into her mattress, her lush sheets wrapping themselves around her. A few minutes later she looks from under her pillow to check her digital alarm clock.

"Aww! Damn it! I'm gonna be late!" Faye jumps out of bed and puts on a pair of faded blue jeans and a tight black polo shirt. Leaving two out of the three buttons undone she quickly slipped on her black high heel boots and made her way out of her apartment

"Please let me make it." She tells herself as she gets in her Honda Civic and drives out the driveway.


"You're late again Valentine." Jet Black muttered, top agent of the F.B.I agency. He is currently the high rank commander, also known as the leader.

"Cut me some slack, Jet! There was heavy traffic and besides a couple of minutes isn't that bad." Faye said in a sly tone.

"You're right it isn'tthat bad but you're 30 minutes late and that's three times in one week! Now that just an abuse" Jet sarcastically replied. " That's why I am sorry to say that you got watch duty. Six times around the block."

"WHAT! I can't, I have to stay for the "Ridge Hotel Murder"! It's the biggest case I had since …EVER!" Faye whined, stomping her foot to the ground and pouting her lips for dramatic effect

"Well that should teach you not to be late again, besides you're not going to the meeting because you are not qualified for the case, it's too risky. I can't afford to lose you as much as it tempts me."

"Jet, I've have been working in this agency for sometime now and I think that I deserve this case. I mean…I looked over the files… and.. and I found some things on this Julia woman." Faye said in a much more calmer manner but still stuttering for lack of concentration due to Jet's statement of her qualification.

The "Ridge Hotel Murder" as they call it, was a case that Faye wanted to solve since it happened. Three nights ago at the Ridge Hotel a neighbor next to room 342, heard a female screaming and what seemed to be two males arguing, then some gunshots and the screaming stopped. The cops came in to inspect the place, they only found a woman naked under sheets and covered in blood, this woman name was Julia.

"I know Faye that you worked hard on this but you're just not experienced enough. I'm sorry but I can't risk it. You're just too big of a hot shot. With that kind of cockiness, you're just going to end up getting hurt or worse killed. Now Valentine, you're watch duty starts now." He then went into the meeting room closing the door behind him.


'A HOTSHOT!'

'Who the hell does he think he is!' Faye thought as she drove around another corner for the fifth time. She drove at a 10 m.p.h rate to inspect any unusual activity but was hardly paying attention.

'I mean I am good but he doesn't have to get jealous. I'm just as experienced as that idiot who is robbing that store...what!'

"What the hell?" Faye said out loud as she stopped behind the convenient store. She noticed while driving that the cashier was held by gun point. She would've of missed it if she hadn't luckily glanced in.

Faye cautiously stepped inside the back door of the store, luckily the door was unlocked. As she neared the entrance of the store she pulled out her gun and points it to the door sightly opening it with the tip of her gun. As she looks trough the little space she had opened, she sees costumers some with children on the floor crying their eyes out or protecting their loved ones. She then looks and tries to find the suspect. When she finally caught site of him, she saw that it was a tall lanky figure, with green hair holding a gun to the clerk's head. She really couldn't see his face since he was right behind him.

"HURRY UP!" The crook yelled impatiently while Faye snuck behind the food products without anybody noticing. A little girl by chance noticed the small movement and quietly motioned her mother to look. The mother slightly turned and had noticed Faye silently hading by the produce.

Faye noticed the stares from the two and put a finger to her lips motioning them to keep quiet. The mother and young girl turned back to the crook pretending they didn't noticed Faye at all. Faye continued to quietly advance the perpetrator.

"This guy is a total amateur. Rookie." She mumbled to herself, as she got closer to him.

The clerk handed the brown bag filled with money to the guy. The crook took the bag and tried to make his way out the front door without turning his attention from his victims. He then felt something tap him on the shoulder. He turned around only to have a small but hard fist hit him square in the face. Stunned by the unexpected and sudden blow, he flew to the floor holding his face.

"You are under arrest, get up and put your hands behind your head!" Faye points her gun at him while he collected himself off the ground. He wiped the side of his mouth with the back of his hand as blood slid down his chin.

"Look, I know I'm breaking the law but damn! Did you seriously have to hit me like that? I mean that didn't hurt but that was still a cheap shot." He said with his hands behind his head. Faye ignored him handing the bag back to the clerk. She grabbed his left arm and pinned it behind his back. She then started to read his rights, grabbing his right arm.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law. If you don't have a lawyer, which is believable, we will contract you with the most dumbest shitty ass lawyer in town. " Faye said sternly as she handcuffed him.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know my rights, but what about my one phone call?" He replied sarcastically, ignoring her last few rude remarks.

She continued to ignore him as she dragged him out to her car.


A/N: Sorry to end it here but I had to stop so I could make you guys suffer and to also leave you with the suspense. Just kidding! Well sorry that Spike seem OOC because Spike a great fighter, to be easily get arrested or not even to notice Faye lurking around. Faye, I think was ok, she still has that 'I Could kick everybody's ass' attitude. You will find out more about Faye's past later in the story so don't worry, and soon Spike and Faye will get a little closer together. Not romantically just yet, that's a little later in the story. Please R&R, you can even flame if you want but review. I want to see if I can reach at least 10, then I will continue.

Finally first chapter is now edited. Added a few little extras and I defiantly fixed all spelling mistakes. I'll continue to edit the rest of the chapters but remember to check my profile for post dates and don't forget to review about the sequel. I kinda have like a Mr. And Mrs Smith theme going on in my head but its what you guys want.
