CHAPTER 1 - The True About the Gray Hunter

Three weeks has past since Silver moved in with Jared and Kimberly, but they all are eager to find work in the bounty hunter area especially Silver.

Silver is sitting with Kimberly in the kitchen, Silver is telling about one of her missions when she had to stop a handbag thief and bunch of raccoons.

"All I know is that I hope don't get hired by that rich cat again! No offense, or at least with better instructions," said Silver.

"Yeah, but still you did get paid good, did you?" asked Kimberly.

"Mm! Sure, six-thousand and five-hundred dollars, but I think would charge him a little more the next time he ever hires me," replied Silver.

"Ooh! Cut the teen boy some slack, Silver! After all I admire the cat's bravey to hire a bounty hunter under his grandmother's nose," said Kimberly.

Just then, Jared walks into the apartment with mail and a package, he comes into the kitchen and puts the mail on the table.

"Hey, Jared, what do we have in mail today?" asked Kimberly.

"Oh, bills, couple of ad sales, and a package. It said... Uh! It's addressed to The Silver Bounty Hunter, with no return address on it," said Jared.

Silver takes the package, and sees that it has The Silver Bounty Hunter writen on it.

"The Silver Bounty Hunter? Hm! I wonder who sent it, and knows where I live now?" said Silver, curiously.

"Me too! Here, let me use my knifie on it for you, Silver," said Kimberly. She cuts the package open for Silver, and hands it back to her.

Silver opens the package up, gets rid of the newspapers pack in the box, and finds a medum black case. Silver opens the case, and there she and her two hunters sees four rubies. There is an envelope taped at the upper part of the case, takes it and opens it up. Silver starts to read the note:

"Silver, I'm in need of your services for I know this one is a little awkward mission. Please protect these four rubies and if you protect them well you can have them as your reward when I return to you.

Thanks!

P.S. Don't foreget I was your big "RAT" of troubles!"

Silver finished reading the note, Jared, Kimberly, and she all are puzzled by it.

"Big RAT of troubles? I've heard that before, but where?" said Silver, curiously.

"Well, that's really weird, I wonder what he or she meant by that?" replied Kimberly, curiously.

"I don't know, but I guess I don't much choice as to protect the rubies, and see what happens," said Silver.

"Hmm! I don't know about this, Silver. These rubies could be fake, and plus could be a trap. You don't know who sent this to you, and we both don't know," explained Jared.

"Yeah, that's true, but I'll see what happens first, and if it gets too dangerous Ill get out of it," replied Silver.

"Okay, but be careful, Silver," said Jared.

Day after Silver got the package, everything was fine or until late that night. Silver is asleep, suddenly a window beside her bed starts to open up, and Silver wakes up by the sound of the opening window.

Silver sees someone coming through the window, but she can't see who it is because it's dark in her room except for the light from outside. Silver is now alert.

"Who are you, what do you want?" said Silver.

"I am the Gray Hunter, are you the girl hunter who has stolen four rubies?" asked the Gray Hunter, low.

"Yeah, I'm that girl, but I didn't steal the rubies, someone hired me to protect them," replied Silver.

"...Who hired you to protect the rubies?" asked the Gray Hunter.

"I don't know who, but I would like know who," replied Silver.

"...I don't believe you, hand them over or else," said the Gray Hunter.

"No, I don't think so, buddy," replied Silver.

"It looks like I can see the light from the rubies on the wall, and from there I think'll take them," said the Gray Hunter.

He starts charging towards Silver's bedside table where the rubies are, Silver gets out of her bed, and even though she can't see him she goes after him. Gray Hunter grabs Silver by the upper arms, but Silver grabs his clothing and kicks onto his leg with her right leg. Her toes somehow grabs a pocket, and with force she rips it. Something falls out of it, but they both don't notice the sound of the rip or an item droping onto the floor. Silver shoves the hunter onto the floor, he quickly gets up, and runs to the window to exit.

"I think I'll take my exit for now or at least until there is light to see! Farewell," said the Gray Hunter, as he goes out of the window.

"Fine! I will be waiting for ya!" replied Silver.

Just then, there is a knock on the door and the door opens.

"Yawn! Oh! Uh! Silver, is everything okay? I heard some noises, and I didn't know if you were dreaming or what?" said Kimberly, sleeply.

"Sure, I'm fine. Just dealt with a hunter who just chickened out of here, he was wanting the rubies, and he also accused me of stealing them," replied Silver.

"Whoa! Really, I wonder why he accused you of stealing the rubies, this could be a trap," said Kimberly.

"Yes, it could be, but I'm not backing out just yet on this one," replied Silver.

"Yawn! Well, okay, I like your attitude, but do be careful," said Kimberly.

"I will, Kimberly," replied Silver.

Morring finally arrived, Silver goes to make her bed up, when suddenly she feels that she steps on something flat. Silver sees that it is black and square shape, and appears to be possibly a wallet. Silver bents down and picks it up off the floor.

"Hmm! Where did this come from?" said Silver, to herself.

"...Oh hey! It must have come that Gray Hunter guy... Heh!" Silver starts to smile. "That wasn't smart for him to lose his wallet, because it looks like I'm going to get to look at what he looks like!" said Silver, happily.

Silver opens the wallet, there in a little plastic window of the wallet is a drivers license that reads Grayfur The Weasel, and above it is a compartment holding another license that reads Bounty Hunter license. Silver's smile turns into sadness, to the point she is about to cry. For the bounty hunter is no other than her...

"...D-daddy...," said Silver, motional.

Silver sits down on the floor up against her bed, she has not seen her father for six years, but she can't believe that her father is a bounty hunter. Silver wonders why her father is after the rubies, wonders if he knows about who he incountered last night. Just then, Kimberly comes into Silver's room.

"Hey, Silver! What are you doing?" asked Kimberly, but then quickly notices Silver looking sad, and she got a tear coming down her face.

"Oh my! Silver, what's wrong?" asked Kimberly, concerned.

Kimberly quickly comes over to Silver and knees down beside her.

"The hunter who came here was my... My father...," said Silver, motional.

"What? What do you mean?" asked Kimberly, curious.

"Sob!... I... I found his wallet on the floor... Gr-Grayfur is my father, he introduced himself as the Gray Hunter," said Silver.

"The Gray Hunter a father? Oh my, who knew he had a child! He is a fairly well known bounty hunter in the bounty hunter business area," said Kimberly.

"...I--I haven't seen him in six years... Sob!" cried Silver.

"Six years! Why? How did that happen?" asked Kimberly, curiously.

There is a pause. "Well, as you know my mother and father are divorced, and I chose to live with daddy," said Silver.

"Right," replied Kimberly.

"...One day, in about late April, and I was a senior. Everything was going alright as everyday does, besides the rat bully that teases me named Louis. Now, mind you I was not a trouble maker but Louis made me out to look like did something I did not do at all," explained Silver.

"He somehow got into my backpack and put a necklace from a student he stolen from. Then he told the principal on me, and I try to straight it out, but the principal didn't believe me (plus he wasn't very good principal). Daddy of course found out about it, and...," Silver stops to try to hold herself from crying.

"It's okay Silver, take your time," said Kimberly, as she put her hand on Silvers shoulder.

"He didn't believe me either, when we got home we both got into an argument. I got fed up, so I--I pack my things, and... without Daddy knowing... I--I...," Silver starts getting motional.

"You ran away from your Dad, and since then you haven't seen him for what... Six years?" said Kimberly.

"Uh-huh! And unfortunately I used the inheritance money to buy an apartment, and then I found a job wanted ad in the newspaper of hiring bounty hunters... All of that at the age of seventeen, and after that you basicly know the rest of it," explained Silver, as she wipes her tears.

"Whoa! seventeen, that's young and thought I was wild!"

Just then, a thought suddenly comes to Silvers mind.

-----

Flash back from the past:

As Silver walks to the principal's office she hears Louis say.

"Hey Fool's Gold! Don't foreget I'm your big rat troubles! Hehehe!"

Another flash back:

"...Huh?! Who is this? How did you get this number?" asked Silver, very curiously

"Heheh! I'm surprised you don't remember, after all I was your big rat troubles," said the unknown caller.

"Well, nice chattin with ya Fool's Gold, maybe you'll see me around again... Not!" said the unknown caller, and hangs up.

End of flash back.
