Disclaimer: I would love to, but sadly, I will never own Cowboy Bebop.
AN: This fic is completely of my imagination. I have yet to see this Epi, and probubly will never until my DVD account is full again. So.....if I am completely wrong, there is your reason. If by some chance there are factual events in here, well, that will be very surprising. Keys are still broken, so here`s a little code.

Through a pile of random electronics and mounds of dust blown in from the outside Earth, R.E. sat.
The wild red hair the hacker sported was unkept, the clothing upon the criminal`s back torn and out grown. Skin toasted brown in the sun was caked in mud and then covered in a fine layor of red sand, making it nearly impossible to tell what R.E. truely looked like.
Behind green goggles were eyes which scanned the computer screen hungrily. It was as if each file R.E. hacked into was a new game, a puzzle just fresh from it`s box. A mystery that needed to be solved.
A tounge ran across chapped lips as a file became the property of the hacker. A juicy, information packed account of the new ISSP satalite feed back.
A laugh escaped said lips as R.E. found the name Radical Edward upon the chart. As it should be, the criminal thought, as it should be.
Deciding that was enough, R.E. shut down the file and left the literal hole in the ground for the surface.
Earth was barren, but it didn`t disturb R.E. as the hacker ran across the dusty ground on unseen wings. This was R.E`s planet, and it was as it should be. R.E. had never seen it any different, so why should anything more be expected
It was perfect in every way to R.E.. This was R.E.`s home, R.E.`s world, R.E.`s life.
No one could change that, not even those damn bounty hunters that had tried to catch R.E.. Their computers were simple, it was nothing to hack into them and turn the ships around. Or even re-wire their weponry so it shot at the bounty hunters instead, as R.E. did once.
R.E. would never do that again. Blood every where. It spoiled R.E.`s beautiful planet, dying the rust colored sand a rich and sticky red. R.E. wouldn`t have that again, it was to much hassle.
R.E. ran across the ground, the balls of the hacker`s dark feet barely touching the soil below. R.E. was happy, this was the way it needed to be. This was the way it should be. This was the way it would always be.
R.E. dived into the whole she resided within to the sound of an alarm sounding. The criminal was cool, this was a very normal occurance. With a bounty of twenty million woolongs on the hacker`s head, it was normal to get roughly twelve bounty hunters daily.
R.E. looked on in intrest as the ship of the persuers. It was an old ship, from rought thirty years ago, the hacker assumed. But there was something strangely familiar about the ship.
:The Bebop......Oo la la,: R.E. gasped, bitting a chapped lip nerviously. This was the big one, the bounty hunters had called for their secret wepon. The big guns had been called out.
Rarely did anyone escape the clutches of them when one has a bounty on one`s head. But then again, R.E. wasn`t one of the normal idiots who had bounties out for them.
R.E. cackled as the hacker set to work, fingers typing at one computer and toes at another. Screens flashed before hungry eyes that hid behind green goggles. The criminal had much work to do.

:So, who`s the hit today: Faye asked, not looking up from where she filed her nails. Jet looked over at the computer screen, a smile across his lips as he looked at the fat bounty that lay before him.
:Radical Edward,: he told her. Spike, who had lay asleep upon the couch, looked up at him, a doubtful look upon his face.
:Who the hell would put up a bounty on some guy who still uses the word Radical: he snorted, an eyebrow raised.
:People who want their files to stay secret, that`s who,: Jet answered, more harshly than he had wanted. :This guy has gotten into every file on the web, even ones that were made to be hacker proof. He`s gotten into every thing, and people are sure he`ll be selling soon,: Jet read from the screen.
:So, we`re putting a guy behind bars for something he has yet to do: Faye nodded, loading her gun. Spike smirked as he lit a cigarette, inhaling nice and long before letting it go in a cloud of smoke.
:Basically,: Jet shrugged, :But you better watch your backs.:
:Why the hell would we need to do that It`s not like some computer nerd is going to give us that much trouble,: Spike laughed. Jet remained silent, making Spike look over him nerviously. :He`s not all that much trouble, right:
:If you consider the fact that no one`s even gotten close enough to see the guy easy, than sure, he`s a cake walk. But to me, the fact that a reward that fat has gone unclaimed for over two years is a red flag,: Jet replied. Spike closed his eyes, standing and walking out of the living room.
:Well, that just means that no one`s good enough to touch him. We haven`t had a turn yet,: Spike retorted, walking out of the room with Faye hot on his heels. Jet sighed, looking down at the screen.
:I just hope he knows what he`s doing,: he sighed, :For once.:
