Chapter 2-On Mars
'This darkness, it seems familiar to me, almost like a nightmare. People normally wake up from nightmares, so am I not dead?' A hazy light starts to shine, and slowly gets brighter. "Hello can you hear me? If you can hear me please move your fingers." A voice of a woman invades my ears and I involuntarily move my fingers. I open my eyes to see who is talking to me, but I'm greeted with a blinding light and it takes my eyes a minute to adjust.
"What, where am I, who are you?"
"Good you're awake, my name is Samantha Rose, and I'm your doctor. You have been in a cryogenic sleep." My eyes finally adjust to my surrounding and I look at the woman who said she was my doctor she wasn't an eye sore, but not much to look at either the only thing that stood out about her was her red hair that seemed very familiar to me for whatever reason.
"Cryogenic sleep?" I faintly remember Faye being in a cryogenic sleep for a long time and everything around her had changed. I quickly sat up at the realization of what had happened to me. "I'm not dead? How long have I been sleep, and where are we?"
"No, someone brought you to us, and we saved you. You've been asleep for eight years, do you remember anything. We're on Mars. Can you tell me your name? We don't have any records of who you are, and nothing on you told us your name." 'Great it have to be Mars.'
"Did I ever ask you to save me? No I didn't, I was fine with dying I was finally waking up, God this is so fucking stupid. When the hell can I leave this place?"
"After we find more information about you, and I perform a few tests on you." I sighed and looked down at my lap.
"What, where the hell are my clothes?"
"They were destroyed sir, so we put you in a hospital gown. We have some spare clothes for you though, now please can you tell me your name?"
"Spike Spiegel, didn't I come with anything else like some money or a gun?" She stuck a thermometer in my mouth, and I sighed.
"Yes, we have that too; a Jericho pistol, a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and ten thousand woolong were found with you." 'At least they didn't lose my gun.' She took the thermometer out of my mouth and looked at it, then tossed it in the trash. She picked her climb board off the table and jot down some notes. She placed her stethoscope on my chest and stomach in multiple places and nodded. "You are fine Mr. Spiegel, I'll be back with your clothes and objects in a minute." She left out the door, and I immediately began looking for an escape route, they weren't going to try and make me pay like they did Faye. I climbed off the bed and walked over to the window and looked down. It looked like we were on the second floor that was a fall I could take. I looked down at the empty alley, at the entrance of it the streets were crowed with people. 'Easy enough.' I sat back down on the bed just as she walked in with my things. "Here you go this is everything you had on you when you were brought here." The clothes she gave me were ordinary, a pair of blue jeans, and a red hoodie nothing that really stands out.
"Thanks, so do you want to stay in here while I change or what?"
"I get what you're saying I'll go, we have cleared your lungs of all the offending substances that were in it though but I do recommend you to stop smoking."
"More reason not to quit." She left out the room and I quickly got dressed throwing the gown on the bed. I put the safety on my gun, and placed between the back of my pants and hiding it under my hoodie. I pocketed my lighter and cigarettes and walked over to the window throwing it open and climbed out. I walked out of the alley and pulled my hood up mixing in with the crowd. 'Now how the hell do I find Bebop, if Jet and Faye are even still alive. God why the hell did it have to be Mars? I need a drink.'
I hope you liked it, if not tell me how you think it could be better. I'm thinking about continuing it, if i can get a few reviews I'll update the next chapter, or I'll do it when I don't have a lot work. Either one, bye everybody.
