Chapter 3
Usagi ducked into a small closet as more security guards passed by her.
She had made it all the way to the 'Restricted Area' without getting caught and without help. However to get what she wanted she was going to need more than just good sneaking skills.
Pulling out a small pink pen she held it above her.
"Disguise power! Turn me into a high ranking security guard!"
After the small light show had died down Usagi looked at her outfit.
She was wearing a small tight blue dress that looked like a police uniform. Next to her was a bag. Opening it up she saw that everything she would need was inside.
Reaching up she grabbed her necklace and tugged a yellow stone. It glowed dimly in the dark closet.
Taking out a pair of glasses she put them on. Then tucking her now black hair behind her ears she calmly walked out of the closet.
"Ah…Ma'am what were you doing in the closet?" a guard who happened to be walking by asked.
"Never mind that." She said sharply. "Why aren't you doing your job? You should be making sure that no one is trying to get into this sector. There is classified information down here!!"
"Y…Ye…yes Ma'am. G..G..Gomen nasi!" Turning the guard ran back to his post.
Usagi smiled sadly after him. 'I still have it.' She thought.
Walking slowly down the hall she came upon the control room. Standing up a little straighter she took a couple of breaths before barging into the room.
All the workers looked up at her.
"Everyone evacuate quickly there has been a failure in the nuclear testing sector and the fumes are spreading through the air vents fast!"
"Nani?" one of the workers said. "Demo none of the alarms went off."
"That's because everyone has already left! They didn't have time to set off the alarms! Now leave quickly if you value your lives!"
It took a couple of minutes but finally what she said seemed to register in their minds.
"Oh my God! I don't want to die!" A worker shouted before running out of the room.
That's all it took before the rest of them cleared out.
Usagi locked the door behind them smirking slightly. Walking to the system controls she pressed the intercom button.
"Attention please! The city of Enyo will be shut down in 20 min and then it will self-destruct. There are cargo ships at every exit of the city. Please escort yourselves and your families to these ships. Again I repeat this city will shut down and self-destruct in 20 min. Please escort yourselves and your families to the cargo ships at every exit of the city. Thank you and have a nice day."
Then she turned on the alarms.
~*.*~
Spike stared at the unconscious bleeding guard on the floor.
"Jeez Faye you didn't have to hit him that hard."
"Well when reasoning doesn't work you have to use force. Now come on. We have 16 minutes before this place goes up in smoke and I don't want to be caught in it!"
Spike just shrugged not at all afraid. Heck what did he have to lose? Nothing. The one thing that he actually cared about was gone. Hell, he shouldn't even be alive let alone worrying about dying again.
Faye just growled. "Of course you don't even care do you?! Well listen here buddy I'm too beautiful to die now and I'm Not losing that reward so come on!"
Grabbing his hand she dragged him down the hall. They needed to find what they wanted and they needed to do it quickly.
"You go this way and I'll go that way. If we split up we can cover twice as much ground."
"And what if you come across Phantom."
"Hey are you saying I'm not capable of taking care of myself."
"No I'm saying you'd let her get away. Your stupid trick aren't going to work on her."
"And like yours' are?"
The glared at each other before turning and stalking off in separate directions.
~*.*~
Usagi gently touched the new red stone on her necklace. Without this jewel the city would self-destruct. It was only one of the drawbacks of having such a powerful jewel as the city's power source.
She ran quickly through the halls of the now empty plant. With everyone gone it seemed ghost like.
She sighed trying not to think about it when suddenly something caught her eye. She ducked into a dark hallway and watched as the women from the bar ran by her.
'Faye.' Her mind supplied. 'Ed's friend.'
She shook her head. It didn't matter but…she was Ed's friend. If she stayed here any longer she was going to die.
'I know I'm going to regret doing this.' She thought before calling out to her.
"Hey! What are you doing in here! This place is going to explode soon get out of here while you can!"
Faye stopped and stared at her. "Who are you?" she yelled back. "And why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm the head of security." Usagi lied. "I'm just making sure everyone has left safely."
"Well I have important business to take care of." Faye said. "Ja!" Turning she began running again.
"Matte!" Usagi cried. " You're going the wrong way!!"
But Faye either didn't hear or chose to ignore her.
"That baka!" Usagi growled taking off after her. "She's going to get us both killed."
~*.*~
Spike had a small problem.
He was lost.
"Great." He sighed. "Three possible ways to go and no clue which one's the right one."
He scratched his head for a moment. "I guess I'll just have to go with instinct." So he began walking down the left one. OF course it just happened that the hall he was walking down was the same hall Faye was coming down and the same hall that Usagi was chasing her by. But he didn't know this so he was blissfully unaware until Faye ran into him
With a loud thud they both landed heavily on the floor in a tangle.
"What do you think you're doing?" he growled.
"Running away from the cops." She replied.
"You baka!" a voice yelled.
Spike turned his head to see a high-ranking police officer running down the hall. She was dressed in the tight blue dresses he was so fond of and had black hair. Her blue eyes flashed angrily at them behind her glasses.
"This place is about to explode and the only thing you two can do is run around playing hide and go seek!!"
"Actually officer we are bounty hunters." Spike said standing up.
"Well there is no one else here." Usagi said coldly. "Now would the two of you please leave this place so that I can leave as well. It is my job and duty to make sure everyone is out of here safely."
"Sure officer as soon as we catch our prey." He replied.
Usagi's fist clenched as she tried to keep her anger in check unaware of the fact that a red stone was glowing lightly with a yellow one.
"I already told you. This place is highly dangerous. We have 12 minutes to get out of Enyo now GET OUT!!"
Spike eyed her carefully. "What's your name?" he asked.
"My..name?" Usagi said. "Why?"
"Just wondering."
"It's…um…Mrs.…Mrs.…Faber."
"Mrs. Faber?"
"Hai."
"Funny." Faye said next to her. "I don't remember the head of security being a Mrs. Faber. In fact I don't remember the head of security being a girl either."
Usagi nervously looked away. "Is that so…well you must be mistaken because I'm head of security. I've been it for the last five years."
"Really?" Spike asked moving closer to her.
"H..Hai." she stammered backing up. "Now I must ask you to please leave unless you want me to escort you out."
"Oh? And how do you plan to do that?" he said stepping closer again.
Usagi blindly reached for the bag that was hanging on her shoulder. Dipping her hand inside she unsteadily held a gun up to them.
"My." Said Faye. "For someone who's been the head of security for five years you sure are nervous about handily a gun."
Usagi glared at her. With her other hand she reached into her subspace pocket and pulled out some of Rei's ofudas.
"Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen." She whispered.(1)
Spike's eyes narrowed and his body tensed as he reached for his gun.
"Akuryou taisan!" she yelled while throwing the charms at the two with deadly accuracy.
Faye and Spike both dodged out of the way. Usagi stood in the hallway holding the gun and the ofudas up before her.
"What are those things?" Faye asked.
"I don't know. They almost look like the charms we saw at some of the temples." Spike replied.
"Leave." Usagi murmured. "There isn't' much time left."
"As we've already told you" Faye yelled "We aren't leaving until we find our bounty."
Usagi glared at them her glasses flashing in the dimming light. "The power is already beginning to fail. Why are you being so stubborn. I'm trying to save your lives!"
"Well you're just delaying us!" Faye yelled back. "We could have already been gone if you hadn't gotten in our way."
"Well if I've delayed you for so long then there is no use continuing to look is there?"
"A…well…no I guess not." Faye stammered.
"Then come on. We only have 8 minutes left."
"Nani?!" Spike and Faye yelled.
Usagi turned and began to run through the twisting hallways. "Follow me. I know the way out."
It was as she turned that Spike noticed the flash of red at her neck, the jeweled necklace that he failed to notice before and the way the charms disappeared into thin air as she dropped them in her haste to leave.
"No way.." he breathed.
Usagi glanced at him over her shoulder.
"You're Phantom?!" he cried.
