I don't own Cowboy Bebop; I'm just supporting it by writing this fic.
The idea behind this and the plot line is 100% me. Please don't steal my idea. Thank you.

----------------------------------Chapter 1: The Billionairess ------------- --------------
Spike walks out of the bathroom with a towel around his waste, a toothbrush in his mouth, and a shirt over slung over his shoulder; another early morning on the Bebop.
It's quiet. On the Bebop? .I must be going deaf. Faye? Ed? Quiet?
Spike continues down the hall lazily. He peers into the main room. Same old yellow couch, same old Jet at the computer, Ein by his feet, the girls?
"Hey hey Spike. I got some good news for you. The girls are gone for the day. Hunting a small fry bounty. I need a break from them, so I sent them on a goose chase," Jet smiled at Spike, "Though we are low on money, so I have even more good news. I just got a fresh new, huge bounty."
"New bounty?" Spike muttered as he put his shirt on.
"Yea, Catalina Sarighi, billionairess. Her great grandfather hit it big with some major drug smuggling and working as a hit man. Her grandfather, Antonio, then inherited the money. He didn't share his father's passion for a criminal lifestyle but instead took up botany and medicine. He then started a cult called Children of Demeter, that bred very potent medicinal herbs and even produced new species of plants by breeding two different species."
"Plant mutants, huh?"
"You can say that. Anyways, he passed the Children of Demeter on to his son who then developed and used strong herbal poisons to manipulate some more wealth into his pocket. Ever since Antonio Sarighi's son took over, the government has been keeping a suspicious eye on the cult, but since they have monopolized medicinal plant treatments along with the breeding of Grey Ash used on Venus to treat spore sickness they are reluctant to act. Some leaks out through burglary but never enough to shift the monopoly. Catalina has been in charge now for 2 years and for some reason wants complete ownership and control of hyperspace."
"Why would she want that?"
"Power most likely. She's supposedly very ambitious, and power hungry. She has threatened every planet, asteroid; you name it, with a natural biological attack. Would she have the guts to pull it off? The government doesn't want to wait to find out."
"Can she pull it off?"
"Easily. The Children of Demeter is so large and many influential wealthy people are in on it. Doctors, Nurses, Cooks, Generals in an army, people who come in contact with people's lives may be in on the plan and will do it for her. Should they fail, her wealth will see to it."
"Freaky, how much?"
"45 million woolongs"
"Nice, bounty hunters all over the universe must be hunting her down"
"Not yet, Big Shot hasn't announced it, since the bounty is shaky. I got it off one of my contacts."
"Good old Jet."
