Chapter 1 : The Past Always Comes Back....

Faye Valentine sat in peaceful silence at her favorite day table on her white stone balcony

that overlooked the entire Earth city below. She inhaled a fresh breath of oxygen that refreshed

her lungs every time that she took a deep breath in, it always smelled like fresh wild flowers on a

summer's day to her. The sun was setting on the horizon yonder, turning the sky a ravishing

orange, red, and pink color. The colors would light up Faye's face and emerald eyes with a

brilliant pink and orange color that softly made her milky white skin to glow. The pink purple

clouds clashed together in giant white formations, dark pink tinted the ends of the puffy white

clouds lightly.. This was Faye's favorite time of day, she always sat down at this usual table on

her bedroom balcony and sipped some cooled coffee. Faye silently watched in awe as the sun set

on the lush grassy horizon that she had come to love over time..

Faye took one last wild flower breath as the very tip of the last grasping part of sun hit the

horizon. Legends always said that if you listened closely when the of the brightest star hit the

horizon you can hear a calming woman voice whisper things to you. Faye heard the woman's

voice every time she saw the sun set. The sun had now set, and the sky began turning a royal dark

blue, a couple of stars arose in the sky, Faye closed her eyes and smiled.. She was finally at

peace...

Faye slightly closed her eyes and took another sip of her now cooled coffee. The cooled

sensation spread over her tongue, Faye always much preferred her coffee to be cooled anyway.

Faye licked her full lips trying to savor the sweet taste, Faye started putting down her coffee mug

when something caught the corner of her emerald eyes...

It was a man...

A tall lanky man with mossy green hair was walking towards her door. Faye dropped her

coffee to the stone floor below. The coffee mug shattered everywhere, but Faye didn't even

flinch. Faye leaned over the railing by her chair to see the mystery man again, but he disappeared

under her doorway. Faye went ice cold. .. 'Could it be?' Gasped Faye in her head. Faye shook

her head banishing any such thoughts, it was impossible, he was never coming back...

Faye jumped violently as she heard her high piercing door bell ring throughout the entire

apartment. Faye completely paused, she didn't know what to do.. What if it was him? How

would she face him? Faye still did not move.

After 2 minutes had passed when the high pitched doorbell pierced through her entire

apartment again.. Faye still wouldn't budge.. The coffee that Faye had dropped was slowly

dripping it's way off the side of Fay's white stone balcony, and onto the street below. The glass

of the coffee mug still laid shattered across the floor, but Faye still didn't even noticed that it had

even left her hand. Faye couldn't breath, but she had to stay calm. Faye took a long deep breath

in, and finally relaxed herself and sighed.

'Okay Faye Valentine this is so stupid, it's probably just some delivery guy that looks like

Spike is all, just get up to your intercom and ask who it is, simple as that.'

Faye finally faced her fears and slowly pushed her white metal chair out, and stood up. It

was night time now, The only light was the moon they came up brightly in the sky, guiding

Faye's way back into her bedroom. Faye opened her bedroom's sliding glass doors and walked

onto her lush white carpet. There was an instant wave of heat when she closed the doors behind

her relaxing her body slightly. Faye walked to her giant king sized bed, and slipped on her fuzzy

pink slippers that lay beside it. Faye started to take slow small steps towards her doorway that

led into the hallway , trying desperately not to trip over anything on the way. She reached the

door way and flicked her light switched on to her room, her crystal lamp illuminated her

bedroom everywhere. She then reached outside the door and flicked the hall light on. The hall

light was just enough to slightly light the living room down below the hall. Faye then slowly

made her way down the lighted hallway, and descended down the stairs holding onto the

bannister the whole way so she wouldn't loose her balance. The doorbell rang loudly again for

the third time.

Faye finally reached her bottom step that led into the living room. Faye could see her house

door across the living room. She had to reach the intercom to see who it was down below. Faye

inhaled deeply and began walking slowly towards her intercom. Faye made it to her intercom,

and with her index finger slowly pushed down the intercom. There was a long pause. Faye for the

life of her could not speak, she was so frightened. 'What if it is him. What would I do?!' Faye

asked herself in her head. Faye took a deep breath and spoke into the intercom.

"Ma..May..I. help you?" Faye said nervously in the intercom holding her breath in anticipation

for the man's reply.. The man downstairs noticed her shaky nervous voice , and pushed the

button back to reply.



"Um, I hope you can, I am looking for a Miss Valentine? Faye Valentine? Do you know her?"

A soft young male voice answered back that was very unlike his voice.

Faye let out a sigh of relief, it didn't sound anything like him. But who was he then? Faye

never got any visitor, and no one knew that she was here except for Jet, and Ed, but that wasn't

surely them. Faye bit her lower lip, and eyed the intercom curiously. After a long pause Faye

pushed the intercom button back and spoke questionably back into it. She was really curious who

could really be looking for her.

"Yeah, this is Faye Valentine, who are you?" Faye said with her usual attitude, and let go of

the button and waited for the nameless man to reply. The man pushed the button back.

"I'm Lt. Datsun, from the ISSP corporation, I would like to have a word with you if that's

alright?" Lt. Datsun finished his sentence and let go of the button and waited silently for Faye's

reply.

Faye stood silent in all-out confusion, 'A Lt.? Why the hell would a Lt. Be coming here? All

of my records are cleared, and I haven't gambled in over a year. I don't know about this, it

might be a set up of some kind." Faye completely spaced out in thought.

Datsun waited patiently outside of the giant steel door in the dark, the only thing providing

him some light was a little spotlight from above the door, that was now attracting many moths.

Datsun stood with hands behind his back, occasionally rocking back n forth on his tippy - toes

and whistled a soft jazzy tune. About 30 seconds passed by into the night and still waited for her

reply, but none came. He then pushed the button again, wondering if she was going to let him in

or not?

"Um, excuse me Miss?" Datsun asked questionably. The sudden soft voice from the intercom

made Faye jump and loose her train of thought. 'What the hell Faye take a chance.' Faye pushed

the button back.

"Oh sorry, yes sir, You can come in." Faye finished her sentence and pushed the other button

to buzz Datsun in. Datsun heard the buzz and reached to turn open the door knob on the giant

steel door and stepped out of the darkness and disappeared through the door.

Faye paced back and forth intensely around her living room making foot indents on her

carpet as she paced. Her fuzzy pink slippers flapped on the carpet every time she stepped. Faye's

very large cat named "Tubby" sat on the couch, and watched her walk back in forth through the

living room. Tubby got tired of watching her, he yawned and stretched out and curled up on the

couch with his back facing Faye. Faye was so nervous, why was a Lt. here? Was she in some sort

of trouble. Faye couldn't stop pacing back n forth, he would be here in any moment, and she had

to admit, she was petrified

Faye froze when she heard loud footsteps finally approach her door, and a soft knock at

her oak door followed shortly afterwards. This was it, the Lt. was finally here, and there was no

way of backing out now. Faye shuffled slowly to her door while holding her breath, and peered

into her peep hole. Faye tilted her head through the peep hole. He was young! Didn't look like a

Lt. at all. Datsun didn't look much older than 25, he wore a oversized long dark brown trench

coat, and plain black dress shoes. Underneath the coat her wore a simple midnight black tuxedo

suit with a plain navy blue tie. He sure didn't know how to match.

Datsun was tall and lanky, his hair was short and puffy, that had a little bit of a green tint

to it, his face looked worn out and tired, but his eyes were as bright blue as ever. Faye smiled, he

sure a handsome guy in a dashing sort of way. Faye thought that he would be a little bit older

since being a Lt. And all. Datsun peered right back into the peep hole, causing Faye to give a

slight giggle as she saw his face distort in weird shapes in the glass. Faye began to slowly unlock

her 5 dead bolts on her door. Faye began clicking every single one of them when she finally

unlocked the last one with a loud click, and slowly cracked open the door with a loud creek to

see a smiling Datsun wave cheerfully in the crack. Faye peeped only her face through the crack

back at Datsun.

"Hello Ma'am I am Lt. Datsun from the ISSP police corporation, can I have a word with

you?" He asked in a very pleasing voice. Datsun pulled out his badge from his left trench coat

pocket, and flashed the shiny metal at Faye. Faye studied the badge carefully, 'Yep, It's authentic

alright." Faye told herself. Datsun put the badge back into his pocket, and smiled. Faye eyed

him cautiously and gave a slight quirky smile back, and opened the door a little more for him to

come in. Datsun politely nodded and stepped through the door way.

Datsun walked slowly into the living room looking around Faye's apartment. He saw her

tubby cat curled onto the couch, and chuckled. Faye slowly shut the door behind him, and leaned

against the door. Faye bit her lower lip nervously. Datsun turned around and looked Faye straight

in her bright emerald green eyes, and smiled.

"You've got a really nice apartment." Datsun complimented Faye. Faye gave a slight nod of

thanks and a slight smile.

"Thanks, but it's not mine, I'm just living here for a while." Faye corrected him. Datsun

nodded his head. There was a long awkward silence between the two of them. Datsun continued

to stare back at Faye and Faye stared right back at him nodding her head in silence. Faye was still

wearing her light pink robe, and her midnight black silk nightgown underneath. Faye didn't mind

though. After a minute Datsun was the first to break the awkward silence.

"Um, Can we sit down or something?" Datsun asked uncertainly. Faye leapt at his question

when she realized how rude she was being by not asking him if he would like to sit down.

"Oh sorry, yes please sit down." Faye walked over to her dinning room , and gestured to her

oak colored round table in the dinning room. Faye led him to his chair, Datsun gave a silent

thanks and took off his very long dark brown trench coat revealing his tiny midnight black suit

underneath. Datsun let out a comfortable sigh as he sat down.



"Pardon my manners, I don't get too many visitors here." Faye said explaining herself. Datsun

waved a gracious hand, and smiled.

"It's quite alright, I'm used to it." Datsun said while laughing lightly. Faye still stood up on

the other side of the table nodding lightly with her hands folded into her lap tightly.

"Are you going to sit down Miss Valentine?" Faye jumped again at his question, 'God, why

am I so nervous, get it together Faye.' she told her self.

"Call me Faye, I'll sit down in a little while, would you like something to drink first? coffee,

water, scotch?" Faye said jokingly. Datsun smiled a toothy grin. Faye noticed how straight his

teeth were.

"Coffee would be great thanks." Faye bowed her head and hurried into the kitchen flopping

her pink fuzzy slippers as she walked. Faye took out the coffee pot, two mugs from the wooden

cabinets above, and some sugar packets.

Datsun surveyed the room again, he looked up a shining small chandelier hung above his

head, it was a rather stunning chandelier, it sparkled little spots of light everywhere. The dinning

room was painted a light blue color. Datsun looked over to the right side of the wall beside the

table. Two giant mirrors hung side by side on the right side of the wall, Datsun saw his reflection

in the mirror, and Faye quickly making the coffee. A long table was placed against the wall

underneath the two large mirrors. There was various things on the table, a couple of vanilla

lighted candles sparkled the silver and black picture frames beside it. Most of pictures were of

Faye smiling, one was Faye standing by her ship with a large man with a balding head, and a

small 13 year old girl with goggles on flapping around, another was with Faye and her tubby cat,

and one with Faye hugging a young man, not much older than Datsun. The man hugging Faye

was a handsome man, with short light blue hair, and baby blue eyes. They looked really happy.

Datsun smiled and continued to observe the pictures, there was one small space where it seemed

that one picture frame would be there, but it was missing from the rest of the collection.

Faye walked into the dinning room with her two steaming coffee mugs in each hand, and

set them down on the table. Datsun smiled a thanks up at Faye , and Faye smirked back. She took

her coffee mug, and sat down at the other end of the table crossing her legs. Datsun still

continued to stare at the pictures, one in particular. Faye noticed him staring at the pictures.

"Like the pictures?" Faye asked while hitting the sugar packet against her thumb so the sugar

could break apart. Datsun nodded.

"You have a lot of great memories." Faye smiled lightly, and opened her pack of sugar and

mixed it into her warm not hot coffee.

"Yeah, those were some good times." Faye finished mixing the sugar and took a sip of her

warm coffee. Datsun opened up his sugar packet , and mixed it into his coffee as well. Faye

leaned her chin on her palm and smiled fascinated back at Datsun as he drank his coffee to see if

he liked it or not. Datsun took a tiny sip and licked his full pouty lips. Faye raised her eyebrows

waiting for a reply, Datsun nodded his head as if agreeing some how.

"That's good coffee." Datsun complimented. Faye gave a slight chuckle, and took another sip

of her now cooled coffee that she loved so much.

"Thank you. I've been perfecting it for over 5 months now." Faye said with a yawn, Datsun

stared right back at Faye with a slight smile.. Another episode of awkward silence hung over

head, as they stared back at each other waiting for one another to talk. Faye was the first one to

finally break the ice.

"So Lt.... You wanted to ask me about something?" Datsun looked at her like if she was some

kind of puzzle box, and then soon realized what she was talking about, he forgot for two seconds

why he was there in the first place. Faye brought her coffee mug up for another sip.



"Oh of course, I completely forgot.. Yes Faye, I've come to ask you about a man that I thought

you might know... a Mr. Spiegel? Spike Spiegel does that name ring any bells?"

Faye's world stopped turning........
