N3M Cptr 4 |||All These Words I Don't Just Say...|||

They had been flying the better half of an hour in complete silence, and Nagi
decided that he was definitely not going to willing give up what really
happened. She unknowingly gave out a loud sigh. Tenchi jolted and looked at her
with fear in his eyes...

"So, umm, where are we going?"

"A bar." She allowed herself a sinister smile.

"A bar? Why a bar?"

"There is no where better to get information on criminals, than from criminals."

"Ohhh, I see... Umm, you're not going to hurt Ryoko still, are you?"

She laughed out loud, "What happened changed NOTHING; Ryoko is still the most
wanted criminal in the Universe.... And I'm still a bounty hunter. You may think
that you can just go back to your pathetic little space ruble you call a planet,
and pretend that everything is all better. But as for the rest of the Universe,
things like the destruction of whole solar systems are not that easily
forgotten."

"I won't let you hurt her!"

*Bingo*- "Like you did?" She said, regaining her composure.

"What? What are you talking about!?"

"You must have done something pretty damn mean to make her leave without you...
Last I saw, she would have rather died a thousand times over than live without
you."

"I- I- It was- I didn't..." he put his head back, stretched his arms all the way
out, and fell backwards to the floor under the weight of his own body.

She laughed out loud once again, "What- What are you doing?" she said between
laughs.

"Just kill me!"

"HAHA, what!?"

"I said, just kill me, I want to die! Kill me!"

This was too funny... If he didn't stop this, she was going to wet herself. "Now
cut that out, what kind of man lies down to be slain?"

"I'm no man... No man could have done what I did!"

Suddenly, it didn't seem so funny anymore.

"What the he..."

A large screen came up with BNN in large red letters, complemented by a loud,
long beep.

"This is a BNN Flash Update.... Shamus, Weapons Smuggler class A, has been
eliminated by unknown gang factors... The bounty on his head has been
transferred to his Killer(s). Two GP officers are also missing from the same
location and assumed dead. Witnesses say that three individuals entered the
Stretched Tree Bar, and after a strange electrical interruption, the
assassination took place..... The total Reward is 2,000,000, and if the GP
officers have been killed, the usual 10x multiplier is in effect on the
bounty..... This has been a BNN Flash Update. In other News, the most notorious
speeder in the Galactic system has finally been caught. After the reward peeked
at..."

Nagi didn't need to glance at her various logs on bounties to know, if the
officers had been terminated, this was the 4rth largest bounty offered by Jurai.

"Sha-ool?"

"You had better believe it! Let's get going, Ken-oki!"

By now, Tenchi was standing again. "Get going where?"

"The Stretched Tree, of course."

"The what's a what???"

Nagi about face faulted, just about. "The Stretched Tree Bar, it used to be a
Remote outpost for the Jurian army; until all hostilities in that region were
reconciled. Now it's the largest bar for 500,000 light years, and as so, it
attracts criminals like rats to a dumpster."

"Ok, i get that, now what about BNN?"

Nagi smirked, "With all the wanted criminals in all the universes, and all the
bounties to go with them there was a need to get info out fast. So, Bounty News
Network was created roughly 1500 years ago."

"Ahuh... And we are going to collect the bounty on these unknown criminals,
why?"

Nagi arched her eyebrows, "Money, lots of money..."


Tenchi rubbed the back of his head, "Ohhh."
