Session 4: Message in a Bottle

I wake up on the couch in the living room on the Bebop I roll out of the couch and I stand up. I walk by Spike's room and I see Spike practicing some martial arts. I look at the style of Spikes martial arts how fluid it is how relaxed it is it looks like tai chi mixed with kung fu. He looks at me.

"Hey do you mind? I am concentrating." he said.

"I really want to learn your fighting style if I learn your fighting style and combine it with my own I will be totally invincible." I said.

"You really want to learn my fighting style?" he asks. I nod yes. He does a swift leg sweep I trip and land on my back.

"Ow..." I said. My cell phone rings. "This is Billy talk to me."

"Yeah this is Richard Flankheart I got an important mission for you."

"I'm not an secret agent." I said.

"You think that info is going to be givin to you for free?" he asks.

"Wait a minute..." I start.

"His name is Amir Rasheed. He has stolen some very important data concerning new gate plans if those plans get into the wrong hands the gates can be hacked and be used for terrorist purposes. He has recently purchase tickets for a gate cruise to travel to an asteroid city where we believe to sell the plans to the highest bidder. The spaceport corodanants will be sent to your cell now."

"If I refuse?" I ask.

"You know the old saying. I can tell you but then I have to kill you. Ciao..." he hangs up.

"I wonder what he meant by that." I ask myself. Spike helps me up.

"Who was that?" asks Spike.

"Richard Flankheart I have to do a favor for him." My text message ring tone goes off and I look at it. "I'm going out in the Enforcer Spike so I see ya when I am done." I walk to the garage and I hop in the Enforcer and take off. I enter in the corodanants into my ship's autopilot computer. I got my trusty DH 22 assault rifle behind my seat and my 9mm in my holster. I wake up at the spaceport I get out of the ship.

"Good day sir would you like val let parking?" asks the val let guy.

"Yeah sure here you go." I give him a couple of woolongs and the keys and he flies to the parking lot. I walk into the building. Its a pretty big place. My text message ring tone goes off and I see a picture of a spiky black haired man with green hair.

"Must be Rasheed." I look around I show the picture on the cell phone to people to see if they saw him. I continue walking and I bump into a guy carrying a suitcase. "Hey sorry...Rasheed!" I pull my pistol out and put it in his face. He punches me in the gut and starts to run. I recover and aim for him to avoid casualties. I fire a shot and get him in the lower back of his leg.

"Ah god damn it!" he falls and roll he gets up. I run towards him and do a jump kick but he moves out of the way I kick the wall and make a hole in it. He tries to punch me but I block it I trip him using the leg sweep I learn from Spike.

"How you like that bitch?" He pulls out a revolver fires a shot but with my new eyes I manage to see it in slow motion and dodge it he got up and start running.

"Freeze asshole!" I see him limping to a spaceport ship he gets on it the doors almost close on me but I slide on my side and I get on the ship just in time. I look up and Rasheed somehow blended in the crowd. I start walking around and I see Rasheed in a seat he looks behind him and turns around.

"Excuse me sir but your gonna have to sit down we're about to take off." said the flight attendant." I sit down in an empty chair to not cause a scene. I keep looking at Rasheed he looks back at me. I point at my eyes with two fingers and point back at him. He shakes a little and turns back. During the flight Rasheed walks to the bathroom and my eyes are following him.

"Thanks for shooting my leg asshole."

"Anytime." I said. I flash my gun a little bit at him. We get off the ship he runs off and I chase after him.

"What the hell you want with me?!" he ask.

"Give me the suitcase with the plans!"

"Never!" He fires his revolver at my foot but misses. Security tackles Rasheed. I pick up his suitcase. I walk away. I start looking for a ship ride back to where I was. I find a ship on the way back and I buy a ticket. I call Richard on my cell phone.

"You got the plans?" asked Richard.

"Yeah." I replied.

"Good..." Suddenly men start coming out of nowhere with M4A1 assault rifles.

"Shit!" I said. Meanwhile at the Bebop.

"Wheres Billy?" asked Jasmin to Spike.

"Doing a favor for someone."

"And you let him leave without me?!" she shouted. "I'm being payed to protect him! He could be set up for an assassination attack right now!" Back at the spaceport I am fighting multiple opponents at once with my pistol. My phone rings I pick it up.

"This is Billy!" I fire a shot.

"Billy where are you?!" asks Jasmin "Have you been shot?!"

"Not yet!" I fire a shot and it hits an assassin's leg and I fire another shot in his face when he is down. "I've been doing most of the killing right now!" I kick a guy in the face then shoot him when he is on the ground. "But I can use some back up track my signal to get to me!"

"I got the signal!" says Marcus. Jasmin looks at the computer screen. She writes down the corodanants and runs to her ship and hops in and enters the corodanants into the auto pilot.

I put my foot on the wall and push myself up and kick a man across the face with the same foot. I fire a shot and hits a guy in the right shoulder and he spins around and drops his assault rifle and falls down. I swipe kick a man trying to attack me with a knife and stomp on his face and kill him. I punch a man in the stomach and send him flying and he hits a pillar on the head and spins and lands on the ground.

"Yeah I'm a white Bruce Lee bitches!" I fire a shot and it hits an assassin's assault rifle and knocks it out of his hand. I press the clip release button and catch the empty clip I throw my discarded clip the assassin's face when caught off guard I run towards him and jump kick him and knock him down. Machine gun fire comes through the glass and kills the remaining assassins.
"Jasmin!" I shout happily. She flies through the window and hops out of the ship. An assassin tries to attack with a sword but she kicks him in the face.

"Get in the ship!" she shouts. I fire a shot at an assassin and get in the ship with Jasmin. After we take off she slaps my face. "You idiot assassins are gunning for you and you did a favor for a man who could be after you?" meanwhile back at Richard Flankheart's office.

"It's been done." said Richard to a man in the shadows.

"Good." The mystery man fires a shot from his silenced 9mm pistol and kills Richard. We're back at the Bebop.

"Now listen up Mr. Eastwood I am protecting your ass so you should do as I say!" she says really angrily.

"I don't know why your so mad at me I did pretty well against those assassins. I didn't even get injured. I don't need a bodyguard." I stand up and walk out the room and into my room. I lay down on the bed. "When will this shit end?" My cell phone rings and I pick it up.

"Hello?"

"And I looked, behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell followed with him...See ya soon." The man chuckled in a sinister voice and he hung up. I look at my cell phone.

"This is Richards phone number...That bastard! He killed Richard!" I accidentally brake my cell phone with my cybernetic arms when I clenched my fist. "Well then lets see who Death will visit first." I point my finger like a gun. "Bang bang."

See you in space cowboy...
