"Faye, look out!" Faye turned around and met face to face with their

latest bounty head his gun pointed at her neck. Looking him over, she

noticed that the man's face was covered with sweat. What was she thinking?

This wasn't even a man, he's only a kid who couldn't have been no older

than 15. How the hell could he have shot and killed 6 people in an

alleyway? "Faye, get out of your head and shoot him before he shoots

you!!" Spike shouted.

Jumping from her place in front of the boy, Faye quickly switched the

tables around and stood behind the bounty, this time her gun pointed to

the back of his neck.

With brief slight smirk the boy, flipped clear over her head, making

Faye spring around to look at him. This time with a heavy laugh, the boy

kneed her in stomach and shot at her head. Faye ducked and jumped up from

the ground as fast as she could before the boy could do anything else to

harm her.

Spike, kicking the feet from the under the boy, placed one of his

large feet on top of the boys stomach, and cocked the gun at his neck.

"Move and I might just have to." The boy smiled, and grabbed Spikes leg,

flipping him over his shoulder. Spike threw his head back and watched as

his body collided with Faye's, throwing her and himself into a window,

shattering it in two. Minutes later, Spike gained control of his sight and

managed to stand again, only to see the boy standing in front of him.

With a queer position of his head the boy, through his head back with loud

malicious laugh towards his fallen foes. He never saw the bullet leave

Spike's gun. Watching the boy fall, Spike turned his attention to Faye.

"Spike, what the hell did you think you were doing?!" Spike turned

around to see Faye lying flat down on her back. Being the man that he was,

Spike bent down and poked Faye in the stomach.

"Well, then you shouldn't have tried to interfere with my bounty."

With a glance at Faye, he knew right away that he had struck a nerve.

"Correction Spike, Jet directly asked me to go after this one since

you got so knocked up from our last episode!"

Spike blinked. "Episode... is that a shrew term?" He mocked.

Faye tilted her head to the side so that she look at him. "You're

such an ass..." she trailed off

"I have a nice ass, yes." Spike extended his hand and looked into

Faye's eyes. "Did I hurt you?"

"Not really I..." She winced. "Oww," Faye grimaced.

"What-what's wrong?" Spike stammered. Faye looked at him and once

again tried to sit up. A sharp pain made her lay back down again. Spikes

eyes widened to Faye's wonder. "Oh Jesus, Faye, don't move!" From the

fall a piece of glass from the now shattered window had lodged itself just

below the crevice of Faye's collar bone. With each move she tried to make,

the glass embedded itself deeper into her skin. Faye took one final try to

sit up before the glass went clean through her back to the front of her

body. Lying down she looked in agony at Spike before licking away some of

the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Faye, hold on... Just stay

still... I'll call Jet!" But Faye didn't have the chance to hear him. She

had already passed out.

*Give me one good reason

To why you're so blind

I covered your back again

And you better cover mine

If I turned and walked away

Would you stick your knives in me

How much longer till you break

Until I walk away, walk away from you

Give me one good reason

To why you're so unkind

You know I believe, it's true

You know I believed in you

If I turned and walked away

Would you stick your knives in me

How much longer till you break

Until I walk away, walk away from you*
