The Will To Win

Chapter 2: Here's The Deal

The car ride heading back to the agency was quiet. It was kinda driving Faye crazy; she was use to the wannabe criminals that she caught, complaining and telling her that she caught the wrong guy. As if he knew what she was thinking the green-haired man spoke first.

"You know for some one who has something on their mind, you sure do have a way with words."

Faye was knocked out of her trance by the man's voice. She looked at her mirror to get a closer look at him. All she saw was man with green hair, and brown eyes. 'Hn, at least he's not bad looking.' She thought.

"What makes you think something is on my mind?' Faye asked. She already knew what was on her mind, it was how she was going to get on the Ridge Hotel case but she just wanted to make conversation with the green-haired man.

"To tell you the truth I really don't know nor care but you just seem…distracted." He said with an annoying smirk, that Faye already hated. All she wanted to do was smack it right off his face but she kept her cool.

"Look lunkhead, not that it's any of your business but I'm just having a little problem at work. Because of my stupid tardiness I got stuck with street duty and didn't get qualified for the case that I wanted to solve and as if it wasn't bad enough already I have to be stuck in this car for the next half hour with you."

When she was done with her little tale she looked back and saw that he was looking out the window acting like he hadn't heard a word she had just said. She was so mad that you could see steam coming out of her head. So she just continue to ignore as well 'Lunkhead, he didn't listen to a word I just said.' She thought angrily to herself.

"Maybe I can help. I mean-"

"Yeah, like I really need your help." She interrupted, still a little upset. "You can't even rob a damn convenient store, let alone help me."

"Damn shrew! Fine, I guess you wouldn't want my help on the murder at the Ridge Hotel." The man said, emphasizing the word Ridge hotel knowing that would get her attention. He then put his hands behind his head. Faye turned to stare at him with wide-eyes. Without thinking she slammed the brakes, not really caring that she stopped in the middle of a highway or that there were bunch of cars honking at her. She quickly got out and opened the back door.

"You were there?"

"Well, I really don't know my memory is a little fuzzy. We did have a lot of drinks." The man remarked, still wearing that annoying smirk that drove Faye up the wall.

"What do you mean you can't remember! Tell me what you know NOW!" He was starting to get on her last nerve and he was enjoying it.

'Pissing the shrew off has been the highlight of my day, despite the fact she's arresting me. I guess I should tell her what I know or I'm looking at life.' He thought to himself as he continued to stare at her with an amuse look on his face.

"HEY LADY MOVE!" Honked a man in blue truck that was passing by. Faye ignored the man (and all the background honking) and continued to interrogate her new witness.

'Wow, this is great. I got a witness that was actually at the scene of the crime. That should show Jet that I'm not qualified enough. If only the witness could cooperate.' She thought angrily.

"Why Should I? Didn't you say that you don't need my help?" He replied. He was acting like a five-year-old Faye thought.

"ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY!" Said another person as their car passed by them. Faye continued to ignore them.

"That was in the past, this is the present. Now tell me what you know." Faye said in a calmer tone. She couldn't lose control of her anger or she would get nothing out of this guy.

"The only way I'm going to tell you anything is if you do me one favor." He said while looking straight in her emerald eyes. 'She has pretty eyes. To bad her attitude isn't so hot.' he thought.

'Now that I look at him one eye is lighter than the other' She thought as he continued to stare at her.

"GET OFF THE FUCKING ROAD!" Yelled another man as he honk at them and sped away. Faye stilled ignored them all (some cop). Faye eyed him wearily not sure if his intentions were good. She usually didn't fall for a set up like that but he was her only lead.

"Hey don't get any funny ideas, I'm not that kind of girl." Faye responded hotly. The statement alone had caused the man to change his facial expression from amused to disgusted.

"Don't flatter yourself sweetheart. You don't have anything that would strike me as pleasuring. I don't sleep with cops either."

"Than what do you want?" She asked starting to get annoyed not that she wasn't already but she was losing the small amount of patience she had left. Faye prepared herself for what was going to become the worst day of her life. 'How could this happen to the great Faye Valentine?' She thought.

"Here's the deal, if you get me off the hook for robbing that convenient store and don't send me to jail, I'll help you bag the real criminal." The green-haired man said with a serious face. "The only way you can get him is with my help. If you agree we both win. I get my revenge and you get…whatever the hell you wanted."

'Revenge? Why would he want to get revenge? Is it for the woman?' Faye thought. She really had to think about this. Was this case worth freeing a man that can be just another liar trying to con her? She hardly knew him but she felt like she could trust him just by looking in his dark brown eyes. Faye stared hard at the ground as if it held the secrets of the universe. Faye could hear all the voices in her head from the past and the present, taunting her. All spinning in her head like a blur.

"Faye, I'm always going to be here when you need me."

"Here's the deal."

"Your not qualified enough."

"Sweetie, to get trough life is to win."

"I'll help you bag the real criminal."

"I can't risk it."

"The only way you can get him is with my help."

"You have to have the will to win."

"You're just to big of a hotshot."

"Deal?"

"Huh?" Faye was brought back to reality as she stared down at the green-haired man's hand. " You have yourself a deal." She smiled as she grabbed his hand and they both shook hands. She released his hand and was about to walk away until he grabbed her hand again.

"What's your name?"

" Faye Valentine, the Romani and yours?"

"Spike Spiegel…The cowboy."
