The Past Returns: Chapter Three

"It's been almost two weeks now and we don't have any leads on this Shin guy", Jet said as he work on the repairs that Swordfish needed.

"At least I've done my part", answered Faye who was sitting on the floor and leaning back on Swordfish.

"Which is what?"

"For your information I've been watching the "Big Shot" show and have been to bars asking around for him, in the process of which several men tried to hit on me by buying me drinks".

"Do you blame them?" Spike asked as he entered the room.

"I say that those guys need a cat – scan. Or at least they're hoping to get something from a woman who looks like a – OUCH!" Jet shouted and rubbed his left shoulder, which had Faye punched.

"If you don't have anything nice to say then it's better not to say anything at all", she smiled.

Just then Ed ran into the room in circles, flapping her arms about with Ein following her around. "Guess what Ed found out?"

"You finally figured out a way to grow a brain?" asked Faye annoyed.

"No silly Faye Faye. Ed has found out some out leads on Shin, thanks to Tomato".

At this comment both Faye and Jet gave their full attention to Ed while Spike turned his back to her.

"Speak up then Ed", Jet said anxiously.

"Ed found out that Shin person has been seen on Venus traveling from bar to bar".

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's get going", said Faye.

"Unfortunately we can't because there's parts I need for the Swordfish that can only be found here, plant Mars".

"Ed thinks Jet should hurry up or else Shin person will disappear".

"There's still lots of things I need to do first. For example I need to re - adjust the loosing wiring on the transmitter which that would take me about an hour and a half. Not to mention the supplies I need to buy." He then glanced over at Faye. "Unless someone would go buy them".

"Oh no, there's absolutely no way I'm going out and buying some stupid parts for an aircraft that's not even mine".

"Faye, the sooner you get the parts the sooner we'll leave and collect that 100 million woolongs that we so desperately need".

"No", Spike spoke up.

"What?"

"I said no. There's not going to be any bounty to collect".

"Spike person what do you mean?"

"It's clear as glass we're not going to collect that bounty".

"And why not, Mr. Mysterious Person?"

"Shin is an old friend of mine that use to or is still working for the Red Dragon when I was part of the group. He helped me out a long time ago and I intent to do the same for him".

"But Spike how can you help out a guy who murdered ten people in cold blooded and no doubt he's still probably working for Vicious?"

"Listen Jet, I know Shin and I'm positive that he didn't commit that crime. Why his name is under the bounty list I care to find out. As for Vicious, I've dealt with him before and I can deal with him again. All I ask is that we go to Venus and straighten this whole mess out".

"And the money?"

"There will always be bounties to collect".

"Fine. Only because you've never asked for anything before. Now then, Faye here's the list of the parts I need," he then saw she was about to protest. "I have one thing left to say before you go on complaining, if you don't go buy them then no breakfast tomorrow morning for you".

"ARGH!" she snatched the piece of paper from him and walked out of the room.

"Faye Faye is upset with Jet person".

"I don't care, finally I'll get some peace and quiet for a change".

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Faye angrily walked down the stairs and out to the streets. "I can't believe Jet is making me get these stupid parts for him. This better not be a regular thing, I mean what does he think I am his servant?"

"Hey Faye, wait up".

She heard a voice call out; she turned around and realized it was Spike. Ever since that incident with him being drunk Spike had been acting strangely toward her. At times when they were alone he would often get real close to her, when they passed each other in the hallway he would lean in towards her so closely that a person could smell the scent of her perfume, and he would find ways to say flirtations remarks to her. Overall, this had made Faye feel uncomfortable whenever Spike was around her.

"Great this is just what I need", she said to herself before Spike could catch up with her.

"What do you want?"

"I just thought you might want some company", he said then got close to her.

Faye stepped away "Thanks but I don't need or most of all want any company".

"That's too bad because I'm going to stick with you like a leech".

"Great just want I need".

Fifteen minutes later they finally arrived and entered a little shop. "How may I help you?" asked an elderly man who wore overalls, nearly bald, and had glasses.

"Yeah, you can help me by getting this leech away from me", as she pointed to Spike. "But since we can't have everything in the world here's the list of parts I need".

"Right, I'll get them right away. Since it's a long list it'll take me about twenty minutes".

"That's fine", Spike answered.

"Yeah right, it'll take up an extra ten minutes just to get to the damn parts".

"I'm sure we can find a way to entertain ourselves".

Not knowing what to do or say Faye said the first thing that came to her mind "Instead I think I better go help the old man so we'll be gone sooner", with that she left Spike before he had the chance to say anything.

Thanks to Faye's "sudden help" it only took ten minutes to get the parts, they paid and left. Since Jet needed about fourteen parts or so, each carried a bag where they laid in the living room. Finding that it was around eleven at night it was only common that the rest of the crew were asleep.

"Thanks for the help Spike, good night", and quickly left.

Faye entered her room and closed the door. She went to her bed where she took off her shoes and socks, she then heard the door open and close again. She realized it was him. He now stood face-to-face with her and stared intensely at Faye. "Spike what are you doing here?"

He in response didn't say anything but grabbed Faye by the arms and pulled her to him and kissed her passionately. He pulled away and stared at a confuse woman. "N – No Spike. This isn't right . . . we shouldn't".

"Make me", and he kissed her again.

Faye at this point tried to pull away but the more she struggled the tighter his grip was. She lost control of herself and finally gave in, returning the kiss just as passionately. With Faye in Spike's arms he proceeded to make his way to the bed and laid her down gently. Blinded by love she fully gave into his will and drived her arms up and down his back as he drived his arms down her sides. With Spike being on top of Faye and continue to kiss her with much more passion then the previous kiss, throughout the night the two became lovers.
