- Spike's POV -

I watched Faye as she walked out the door. I never know what that woman is thinking. She's always leaving and doesn't come back for days. The only time she returns is when we've caught a bounty and she comes to take her share. I do most of the work. I come back beaten and bruised, while she sits on the couch grinning and counting her money. When I saw her that day at the Casino, I thought she was a chump. But, she proved me wrong in the end. After that she joined Jet and I on the Bebop. I started to realize quickly that she was a 'woman with an attitude'. One of the three things I hate! Ein had been with us for a few days before Faye came along. Then the last thing showed up, Edward. I don't know why I'm still here? I'm good at what I do, I could leave at anytime. I think part of me stays, because I don't want to leave Jet with those three. But, I defiantly stay because the money is good! I could be out there looking for Julia, but I always turn up empty handed. I haven't given up on her, but I have some things to figure out while I'm still on the Bebop.

"So what does this woman look like?"

"Says here she's brunette, 5'6 but doesn't give an age" Jet says showing me the picture on the screen.

"Looks young, just the way you like'em" I reply lighting a cigarette and taking a long drag.

Jet's silent. I can tell by his face that what I said reminded him of Mai-Fa, the young feng shui girl he helped in finding her father. I chuckled and stood up blowing a cloud of smoke into the air.

"So what's the plan?"

"Not sure yet" Jet replies, typing "Gonna try and find some leads on her"

"You do your research, while I do mine" I say heading for the door.

"Where are you going?" Jet asks.

"To sleep"

I get halfway through the sliding door when Jet throws something at my head.

"Hey?!" I spin around glaring at him.

"Take that picture of her and show it around to people on Callisto, see if anyone knows anything about her"

I bend over and uncrumple the piece of paper revealing her picture.

"Stella Raynie, huh?" I put the picture in my pocket and head for the Swordfish II.

Knowing Faye, she's probably at the bar wasting all her money. Jet says that her and I are pretty similar, I don't really see it but I could be wrong. There's always been this attraction between her and I. I mean, I flirt at times but it's not like she doesn't either. She's very different from Julia, but she seems like the kind of girl that could kick my ass.

I walk around Callisto showing the picture to everyone on the streets. No leads so far. Everyone either nods their heads or just ignores the question and passes by. I pull a cigarette out of my pocket and light it, breathing in heavily. I put my hands in my pockets and start pacing down the long alleyway. I hear a faint tapping of shoes behind me. I spin around and pull out my Jericho, aiming for the persons head.

"Whoa, chill out man" a guy says, putting his hands up "I heard you were asking around for information on Stella?"

I cock my head to the side, still pointing my gun at him. "Yeah?"

"Well I know some stuff that maybe of use to you"

I lower my gun. "What do'ya know?"

He puts his hands down. "I've seen her around here, was a long time ago though, likes to go down to the bar"

"Anything else?"

"Pretty woman" he replies "Looks young too"

I smirk, drop my cigarette and step on it. "So, is that all?"

"Last thing I heard was she flew off to Earth"

"Well, thanks" I say, slowly walking past him and raising my hand slightly to wave.

Not really too much info, but I'll take whatever I can get. I walk to the bar and open the door. Seems like a slow night. A man in a suit is playing the saxaphone, swaying back and forth to the rhythm. Only a few people sitting at the stools and I spot a fimilar face guzzling her drink. I walk towards her and notice another woman is sitting beside her. As I get closer I start to wonder... Is that Julia?
