Men in Red
Chapter 1 the setting
"Sir, there has been a recent increase in supernatural activity. There seems to have appeared a strong supplier of this energy."
"So I've heard. Royal intelligence has already looked into this. They have requested the Americans to help as our back up. Apparently, there are similar occurrences overseas."
"Heh, it's so unlike you to accept help, Master."
"Wow I can't believe we're going to London!! Even if it is for a mission!!"
It was a quiet day and heads have been on an all time low. The only heads out there were only class "D" or lower.
class "D" heads have very low bounties that can feed barely a single wandering sweeper let alone three with a car and apartment..."
"Aaaaahhhhh…So hungry again… No money again… Three meals of cup ramen again," Train complained, "Sven-chan, did you find any heads? We need heads! We need food! Even if we don't eat, we still have to feed Little Princess!! She's a growing child…" Train adds as he continues to babble about the same thing.
Glaring, "NO! Why don't you get off your lazy ass and look for heads yourself?" Sven retorts, "And never add '-chan' to my name! You sound like those anime-crazed loner geeks."
"Lazy!?" Train asked in exaggerated disbelief, "Can you believe that Little Princess? He's supposed to be the background director. I only carry out the plans! Now he wants me to research too!! I might as well ditch you guys and go off on my own!! (And as a side, he called me an anime-crazed loner geek…)"
"Ok bye!" Eve says, smiling sweetly with a hint of arrogance (due to her intellectual victory).
Replying with his usual squinty grin , "Heh, heh, just kidding!!"
Since there was no way Train could win two against one in a battle of the wits (especially with someone as intelligent as Eve opposing him – not that Train is intellectually challenged….), he wiggled his fingers around and prepared to do some intense research. Train plopped down in front of the computer and started typing. It looked as if he was really into it and actually looking for something. And he was. As Sven took a closer look, he found that Train was actually at (A/N I don't know if this is actually a site and too lazy to look) playing games.
"You idiot! I thought you were looking for bounty heads!" Sven yelled. "But instead you're playing games! You where the one complaining and … …
After being lectured, Train finally started his search for bounty heads. The search ended after approximately 2 minutes.
Practically jumping out of the room in his usual overly energetic way, "Hey guys, I found a bounty head!" Train haughtily exclaims, "This one's worth 60 billion double dollars!
After almost dropping his cigarette on Eve's book, Sven regained his composer and calmly asked, "What currency is that?" hoping it was similar to American dollars. (a/n What's the highest currency now?)
Still keeping his grin, "Heh heh but apparently he's from some other planet…"
Back to his usual pessimistic self, Sven flatly said, "Then it's probably some kind of joke," as he followed Train into the computer room.
"Joke!?"
"Sven look!" Eve pointed out, "The data is downloaded off the Chronos website!"
They all look at Train who looks as if nothing unusual happened.
"What? You would think they would change the password every few days for security reasons but evidently they haven't changed it for at least two years!"
"That also probably means the site hasn't been updated for two years…" Sven muttered to himself, "Eh I guess it wouldn't hurt to look…"
"So what is he wanted for?" Sven asked as he looked on, "Download his description, picture and other status."
"Okay!! But… there's not much info on him," Train said, trying to act his age (23).

"That was helpful," Sven sarcastically stated. "At least we know he is among the few thousands with those clothes in or somewhere near London… Pack up we'll be leaving tonight. We should arrive tomorrow morning. And, oh yes, call Rinslet to see if she has any information on him…" Sven ordered.
"Aye, aye, captain!" Train exclaims as he salutes and jumps up really high and hits the ceiling – again…--;;
"Idiot," Sven muttered to Eve, "you'd think he'd learn after a few times."
Jumping back up, "Pack up everyone! I'll drive!" an excited Train shouts.
"You have a license?" Eve asks nervously. (a/n I didn't know he had a license until towards the middle of the series…)
9am London
Stretching and yawning on the roof of the car (resembling a cat), "We're here!!" Train shouts.
Eve is sitting on a nearby rock reading (as always) and Sven is bugging the hell out of Train to call Rinslet.
"Ok, Ok I'll call! Stop nagging like an old lady!" Train taunts.
Talks to Rinslet on the cell, "Hello Rins? Hey can you do us a huge huge favor and help us get some info on a bounty head?
"What? Why! I'm not a sweeper!" Rinslet retorts, "You do your own job and I'll do mine!"
"I think she's in a bad mood," Train whispers covering the phone. "But… Rins!! Pleeaaassseeee!!! We're in London meet you at the Hampton Café in an hour bye bye! Click," Train quickly says before Rinslet could make an answer.
"Ah… you fool!" Rinslet angrily yells in her cell. "Well, I guess I could help them a bit. I have all I need for my job anyways. And now they'll be in debt to me…" Rinslet evilly grins.
"We'll be meeting Rins at the Hampton Café at the corner of Southampton Ave. and Chapel St. at about an hour. (a/n hehe I live on Southampton! – just not in London)
"You and Eve go meet her first. I'll look for a motel," Sven instructs, "I don't want Eve sleeping in the car again. Especially on a cloudy, cold day like this…"
About an hour ago, aboard the Bebop
Jet is cooking – so to speak…
"Jet… do we have any real food?" Spike asks lazily slouched on the couch.
"What are you talking about?" Jet shoots back, "This is real food."
"Cup noodle and ramen? I need protein!" Spike complains, "Hey Ed did you find any bounty heads we could hunt?"
"Hmm… let Ed see… OOOO here's one…" Ed says as she wobbles, "Oooo… $$60 Billion, wow"
Faye comes in, over hears and grabs Ed, "Oh dearest Ed, where?"
Spike takes hold of Ed's other arm and they start a game of tug-o-war with Ed as the rope.
"Let go! I got her first!" Faye pulls.
"You let go! I told her to help US (referring to Spike and Jet) find a bounty head!" Spike spits back.
Ed: o
Ein joins in and barks, noise level is now unbearable.
Meanwhile, Jet takes a look at Ed's computer and sets the coordinates and gets ready to land on Earth, trying to ignore the noise.
An hour later
They are now in London and had just entered a pub. Ed has her laptop and is giving all the information she has to Spike and Faye. Jet is still aboard the bebop attempting to clean up the mess Faye and Spike had made an hour earlier.
"So what does he look like?" Spike asks.
"Hmm… Ed can't find a picture of him… the only information I what I got off that weird website! CHRONOS or something…" she answers.
"Do you at least some details!" Faye interrogates.
"Let Ed see… he always wears a red trench coat, and has round yellow-tinted glasses," she informs.
"Anything else?" Faye continually questions.
"He's likes to eat donuts," Ed adds to her previous info as Ein barks with agreement.
Faye and Spike, "Likes donuts?" they both repeat with their eyebrows twitching.
"Well, Ed's gonna take Ein for a walk," Ed informs as she walks off with Ein, "Tootles!"
