Epilogue
With the capture of Barbra Holliday and the traffickers, Jet and Faye had earned a bounty of roughly 510 Million Woolong. A week after the capture, Jet, Faye, and Meifa were able to collect the bounty after Meifa gave the police her witness statement. Jet insisted that Meifa get a third of it, arguing with Faye, "We couldn't have done it without her, and her life was on the line the most." Faye just shrugged, "Whatever. I'll just take my 200 Mil and head out." "200!? You only get 170 and you know it!" Jet yelled as he took her bounty card and inserted the right amount before handing it back to her. Faye just smiled, "Same old Jet, always need to be Mr. Goody Two-shoes. Well, see you around, try to stay out of trouble, Meifa." With that, the female bounty hunter sauntered off.
Jet got Meifa a credit card so she could more safely have her cut, it wouldn't have been safe carrying around that sort of money in physical currency. Once that was settled, Meifa took the money along with her earnings from the Kitty Cabaret and left her old apartment for good, Jet helping her move what few possessions she had. After checking into a nice hotel, Jet asked her, "What are you gonna do now, Meifa?" Meifa shrugged, "I can't believe this is really happening, I'm rich now. I could go to anywhere, and I'd be just fine." Jet smiled and shook his head, "You need to be careful with that much money, it goes by faster than you think."
Meifa nodded and said, "I want to go to a good house in a good neighborhood, maybe even learn how to really dance. Yeah, a real dancer, not a stripper or 'exotic dancer'." Jet nodded, "I think I know somebody who can arrange that."
The next week, Meifa had bought a small house in one of the nicer suburbs of Mars, a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Nothing fancy, but it was clean, and she didn't have to worry about being mugged at night. She bought a bunch of new clothes to replace her old ones, and even got a yearlong bus pass to the city. Jet met her there, and led her to a dance studio, Madam Adora's Dance Studio. They went inside and Meifa saw the floor was matted, with girls and young women learning various dancing styles from instructors between two large mirrors.
An older woman with steel grey hair was leading a group of girls in a group as they spun and jumped through the air. "Yes! That's it!" the woman said. She noticed Jet and Meifa and said, "Alright, now stretch, we'll practice the next set in five minutes." The woman walked over, she had chestnut brown eyes that were stern, but fair. "Jet Black, I'm surprised to see you here," the woman, Madam Adora, said, then saw Meifa and said, "You have a granddaughter?"
Meifa introduced herself before Jet had a conniption, "My name is Pao Meifa, it's nice to meet you. Jet told me that you could teach me how to dance." Madam Adora nodded, "Alright, Meifa. Let's see what level you're at for now and work our way from there." Meifa nodded and Madam Adora looked at Jet, "And who is paying for her lessons? I may owe you, Jet, but I still have a business." Meifa spoke up, "I can pay for my lessons, Madam." Madam Adora nodded, and said, "Very well, Meifa. Take off your shoes and try to follow my lead."
