Disclaimer: Since today being Christmas (maybe not when you read this
but it was when I wrote it) and all, I'll be nice. And tell you
the disclaimer with a little song:

Jingle bells, eat my shorts
You can go lay an egg
I don't own the Bebop characters
So you can't sue me!

P.S. I don't own 'Jingle Bells' either. XP XD

It Wasn't the End After All

[Chapter 6]

Julia looked around nervously. It had been a long time since she had
been to Earth. But what made her really nervous was that 'Junction'
was there somewhere. She still couldn't understand why some guy
out of the blue would give them information about a widely feared man.

Faye carefully looked over the crowd of people in the seemily small
market area. the mystery man had told her that 'Junction' was a
regular to this area. Her eyes finally rested on a tall man with red and
gray hair and a pair of sunglasses. He fit the description the mystery man
had told her.

"Julia?," she whispered to the woman next to her.
"What?"
"Is that him?," Faye asked pointing at the man.

Julia looked at the man and her stopped for a second. She carefully looked
him over and finally shook her head.

"Yeah that's him," she barely managed to say
"Are you absolutely sure?"
"Yes. Look at his hand. I could never forget a tattoo like that."

Faye looked at the man's exposed hand from the distance and was barely able
to make out an outline of heart and two snakes wrapped around it.

"Wow. You have amazing sight to have been able to see that from over here."
"I could see that tattoo from a thousand miles away," Julia said looking at Faye.
"Come on Faye, let's follow him."

The two women blended into the crowd and followed the man from a safe
distance. They were able to follow him to the same exact address the mystery
man had told Faye. They watched the house carefully for a hour before finally
deciding to take action.

Faye knocked on the door, as Julia hid herself behind a nearby bush.

"What do ya want?," the man asked opening the door slightly.
"Are you by any chance Torumato, Leon?"
"Yeah. What's it to ya?"
"Nothing really. It's just that...," her voice trailed off.

She kicked the door open, knocking Leon to the floor. She pulled out a gun and
pointed it to his head.

"...would you by any chance be the infamous 'Junction' also? ," she finished.
"No! N...no! I'm not the 'Junction'! I swear," the man yelled out.

At that moment Faye could hear a struggle outside.

"Let me go!," Julia screamed.

A gunshot followed and Faye ran outside in time to see a car pull up and Julia
being shoved inside. She was unconscience and a man limped to the car. Faye
aimed her gun and shot him in the knee, making him fall quickly to the ground.
Her fireing was then aimed at the car but by this time it was pulling away with
her love in it.

"Julia!," Faye shouted to no avail.
"No...Julia...," she said weakly unable to do anything that wouldn't somehow
hurt her lover.

Her pain and tears quickly turned into anger as she ran over to the fallen man.

"Who the fuck are you! And where are they taking Julia?!," Faye shouted.
"She's going back where she rightfully belongs...With the the 'Junction'," he
said before spitting in her face.

"You son of a bitch! For that I'm going to kill you! But I might spare you if
you tell me where they're taking her exactly. Or maybe the police can ask
you that question."

The man turned pale and quickly began to spill the beans.

"They're taking her to a secret location in the desert. If you want more info
about it ask Torumato, Leon. He knows more about the place then I do."

Faye smiled and began to walk away. She stopped five feet from the man
and turned around.

"Thanks for the info. But I lied."

And with those words she shot him dead. Turning back to the house she saw
Leon trying to creep silently away.

"I don't think so," she said shooting a single bullet at his foot.
"Kuso!," he shouted falling to the floor.

Faye walked over to him and put her gun to his head.

"You will tell me what I need to know. Won't you?," she asked cocking the gun.
"Y...yeah. Anything ya want. Just don't kill me," he begged almost in tears.
"That's what I want to hear."

A/N: Ha ha! A cliff-hanger! Actually I hate them myself, but they seem to work
with this story. Wow 6 chapters already! I'm getting good at this... Anyway I hope
whoever is still reading this, is enjoying reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

What will happen in chapter 7? Who knows! Not even I do (yet!). Maybe I'll give
Jet something to do, since he just seems to be wasting space (Jet: Hey! Me: XP)
Ja ne!
