Chapter 2
Jet was sitting on the couch, grumbling over the long list of names. He knew Spike's dad had to be alive, he thought to himself. But why did Spike cross it out, then scribble out the line and... Aw hell, none of it makes any sense.
Faye was sitting in the other chair. Carefully fingering the pedals of this mysterious rose. It looked like she was completely engrossed in the flower, but actually, she was looking far beyond the flower.
'Why Spike?' she thought to herself, 'Why do you keep haunting me. You're just another egotistical lunkhead, so why do you keep coming back?'
"Found it!" Ed exclaimed leaping from her computer. Jet leaned over to the monitor and said, "Found what Ed?"
"I found out what it is!" Ed exclaimed, " It is a special cross breed. The now extinct Stargazer Lilies that used to grow on Jupiter and a common red rose got married an had this child."
She slowly walked off huming "Here comes the Bride" as she walked off.
"So its a fancy hybrid," Faye said, "What difference does that make?"
"A big difference," Jet said in his normal gruff voice. "The Stargazer Lilies were an extremely rare plant, found only on Jupiter. They were found on Jupiter when humans first came there to tereform the ground. They have the amazing ability to last for decades, even after they are cut. That's why they are so valuble and rare. So rare, that it would cost probably around 10 million wulongs just for one flower."
Faye immeadeately froze at the sound of the number, realizing how expensive the one little rose she held was.
Jet continued, "I somehow have a feeling that Spike never came across 10 mil. wulongs while he was with me, which means he must have gotten this hybrid while he was in the Syndacate."
"And..." Faye asked.
"And," Jet said, leaning over to his computer typing in some data, "There was only one person Spike knew that had that kind of finacial backing, and also a good amount of knowledge in floral."
The computer beeped and Jet turned the computer around so Faye could see.
"Mao Yenrai?" Faye said, taken back a bit, "But what good does that do? He's dead."
"Yeah, I know he's dead Faye, but, he must still have a few friends left out there somewhere. And were going to find them"
"Hey," Faye said, putting the rose back in its case and standing up, "who said we are doing anything? Spike's dead, in his coffin, in the ground, and he left nothing of value to us. That's it, life's over. We forget him, sell the rose for big bucks and move on. Right?"
Jet immeadeatly came to his feet, and came inches to Faye's face. The cocky grin Faye wore quickly transformed to fear, and the pissed off look Jet was wearing quickly transformed to a very pissed off face.
"Faye, is that how you treat friends. You use them all your life, take advantage of them, and once they are in the ground you take off? Well I'm not like that Faye. I owe Spike a hell of alot and you do too. We atleast owe it to him to make sure that his last wishes are fufiled. I can't believe the crap that your saying. Now get out of my way Faye."
Jet grabbed the will, and marched towards the hanger.
Faye caught up and said, "Where the hell are you going? You don't have a single lead."
"Not that its any of your buisness Faye, but I'm going to the bar where I first met Spike. Maybe someone there knows him."
"Its hopless," Faye said, keeping step with Jet, "Every person that ever knew Spike is dead except for us."
"Fine Faye, you can just stay here."
Shocked, Faye just stood still as Jet walked away.
"Ok then," Faye said, "Have fun on your wild goose chase."
And with that she walked away as Jet walked towards the hanger.
"Damn woman," Jet said to himself as he took off.
He flew over the skies of Mars, just staring off into the distance.
"Hey metal arm," said a voice inside of his head, echoing over and over again.
He had seen so many friends come and go, that's what happens when your in the ISSP, you learn to forget about them. Its the only way you can survive is to forget about everything going on. But for some reason this was haunting Jet, Spike had done something that Jet could never do. Spike had met with his past head on, with no worries to the outcome. Jet realized that he often hid, or avoided the past. Let it be. Those were the words he grew up with in the ISSP. But, he couldn't let this be. He had to find Spike's dad, he had to find out Spike's past, he had to do his partner, one last favor.
Jet landed out side of the bar, only to be greeted by Faye, leaning against her Redtail.
"Have you come to help?" Jet asked, slightly shocked.
"No," she said with a smirk, "I just came to make sure Ed got here alright."
Jet raised an eyebrow at this. All of a sudden a big thud was heard behind Jet. He turned around to see Ed on the ground, holding Ein above her head.
"ED?" Jet said, surprised by her recent arrival, "How did you get here?"
"Easy silly, I taped myself to your ship."
Jet groaned, but let it go, deciding it was more important to figure out where Spike's dad was.
The four of them walked towards the bar, all with their own stride and style. They opened up the doors and stood in the doorway. The moment they entered, the music stopped, the talking stopped, all eyes turned to them.
One of the guys stood up with a shaky finger pointed at them and said, "B..B...Bebop!!!"
Instantly everyone in the bar stood up running right for the Bebop crew.
