Chapter 5: Waiting

As they were taking Spike to the operating room, Faye was left in the waiting room. She decided to call Jet he would want to know if Spike was all right plus she didn't want to stay here.

The phone wasn't answered by Jet however, it was answered by none other than Ed.

Ed answered the phone with, "Hi, Faye-Faye!"

Faye gave a growl and thought to herself, `How come Jet never answers the phone.'

Faye then said, "Don't call me that Ed - where's Jet?"

Ed answered, "Around."

Faye started to get frustrated, "Will you go get him then?!"

Ed smiled and said, "Ok, Faye-Faye."

Faye yelled, "Don't call me that!"

Her yelling was interrupted by Jet on the other end, "You wanted something?"

Faye said, "Yeah...um... I just wanted you to know Spike's in the operating room and he may be ready to leave by tomorrow."

Jet asked, "Was it really that bad? What was wrong with him?"

Faye answered, "They say it was his eye- you know his fake one."

Jet just said, "Oh."

Faye then asked, "So when can you get me out of here?"

Jet answered, "Tomorrow."

Faye yelled, "What! Why?"

Jet said, "The Bebop won't be able to get there for at least a day- one reason why I called the ambulance for Spike. Also I can't get you with `my' ship cause I'm not leaving the Bebop with Ed."

Faye then asked, "When can you get here?"

Jet answered with a question, "What hospital are you at?"

Faye answered, "St. Mary's I think?"

Jet said, "Earliest 9 am. Latest 12 p.m. tomorrow morning."

Faye sighed, "Great what am I suppose to do?"

Jet said, "You should stay in case something happens." With that he hung up.

Faye sighed and sat down looking at the clock, which read 12:30 am. "Where am I suppose to sleep? I don't have any money to find a motel."

Faye got up and asked someone nearby, "Know where I can get some coffee?" The lady pointed Faye in the direction of the cafeteria where Faye did get a cup of coffee. She then went back to the waiting room with it and sat watching a soap opera with another woman, possibly here the whole night as well.

She sipped her weak hospital coffee and thought to herself, `Spike is going to pay dearly for this.'

******************************************************************************

About 3 hours later a nurse came over to Faye who was resting her head on the back of the waiting room chair, "are you the one who came in with a Mr. Spiegel?"

Faye just said, "Yeah."

The nurse said, "The operation was a success and they didn't have to replace the eye. If you want you can go and see him. He is still asleep though."

Faye with her eyes closed answered, "Nah I'm tired."

The nurse asked, "are you staying here all night?"

Faye answered, eyes still closed, "Unfortunately, yes."

The nurse said, "Well if you want we can set up another bed in Mr. Spiegel's room for you, for the night."

Faye didn't seem to be listening and just said, "Whatever." Her eyes still remaining closed.

The nurse said, "Ok then I'll tell you when it's ready."

Faye said wearily, "Yeah ok."

The nurse left and returned to find Faye asleep on the waiting room chair. She shook Faye to wake her.

Faye was half-asleep when the nurse said, "It's ready."

Faye mumbled, "Ugh, what's ready?"

The nurse giggled, "Your bed."

Faye smiled, "Oh yeah? Where?"

The nurse giggled again, "Here I'll take you there."

She walked a half asleep weary Faye to Spike's room. Upon arriving they came to Spike's bed first. The half-asleep Faye almost went in bed with Spike. The nurse just laughed as she gently got Faye off of Spike's bed and into an empty one next to him. Faye was fast asleep in seconds and the nurse left turning off the light saying, "Sweet dreams."
