Chapter 7: Leaving
Faye and Spike sat in silence mostly as they were waiting for Jet. Spike fell asleep, while Faye sipped her coffee. She stared at Spike while he slept, ice pack still on his bandaged eye. She then heard footsteps and looked up to see Jet.
Faye said, "Oh, hi Jet. You're here awfully early?"
Then all of a sudden she heard the loud echo of Ed's voice say, "Hi Faye- Faye!!" as she ran in arms flaring.
Spike's eye bolted open from all the noise. He saw Jet over him and Edward who screamed, "How is Spike person! Edward wants to know?"
Spike mumbled, "I'm fine Ed, and do you have to say that so loud?"
Jet said, "Ed I said you could come only if you behaved yourself."
Ed said, "Sorry Jet-person."
Jet said, "It's ok. Why don't you go wait in the Bebop?"
Ed said happily, "Ok!"
She outstretched her arms and made airplane noises as she left. Jet scratched his head and said, "Sorry about that, I couldn't shut her up. She kept pleading to come, even got the dog in on it. Infact I still have a ringing in my ears from his howling."
Spike smirked and then asked, "Did you get my clothes?"
Jet said, "Oh yeah, here." He put them at the foot of Spike's bed.
Jet then asked, "How are you by the way?"
Spike just said, "I'm fine, Jet."
Jet then saw the prescription paper and said, while picking it up, "I guess I'll go get this. I'll be back afterwards so be ready." He then left.
Spike went to sit up, lifting his arm he remembered the IV was still there, "Damn, where's that nurse when you need her?"
Faye chimmined in, "I'll do it if you want?"
Spike yelled, "No way! I want the IV out, not my vein too."
Faye gave her 'evil look'. Spike then proceeded to take it out himself, Faye stopped him, "I don't think that's a good idea?"
Spike gave a confused look, "Why not?"
Faye then said, "Well earlier you couldn't even drink water out of a glass."
Spike was still confused, "Your point being?"
Faye sighed, "This is a lot more complicated then drinking water, do you get what I'm saying?"
Spike just ignored her and went back to taking out his IV. Faye was right, he was having difficulty with only one eye and the drugs still in his system, it was hard to concentrate, he also needed two hands not one. He gave a sigh of disgust and asked, his eyes still on his IV, "Will you go get that nurse or someone else."
Faye said, "It'll cost you?" In her teasing tone.
Spike said, "I'm not in the mood, Faye, will you just go." Sounding annoyed.
Faye gave and angry look and said, "Jeez, fine." She walked out and returned but without a nurse. Spike looked up and saw she had a big smile on her face. Spike asked, "Where's the nurse, is she coming?"
Faye answered, "Your looking at her."
Spike shook his head, "No your not Faye. I'd rather Ed or Ein take it out."
Faye said, "Well I can always go get them."
Spike said, "This isn't funny Faye, will you just go back and get a nurse please. It's not that difficult."
Faye said, "Come on Spike, she's busy, and she told me how to take it out, she even gave me permission."
Spike still said, "No."
Faye didn't care she went over to him and proceeded to take out the IV. Spike didn't move or say anything. He then tried to snatch his arm away, but Faye kept hold of it, "Do you want it yanked out?" He relaxed his arm and Faye gently and slowly took out the IV. Spike cringed a bit but said nothing as he watched her take it out. Blood oozed a bit from Spike's arm but Faye put pressure on it and when the bleeding stopped she placed a band- aid on it. Spike said nothing as he got to his feet and headed for the bathroom with his clothes to get dressed. Faye just sat in silence.
Jet came back as Spike came out of the bathroom fully dressed. He looked a bit different due to the bandage covering his eye. Jet threw Spike's prescription to him. Faye jumped in front of Spike and caught it. Spike snatched it out of her hand. Faye gave another one of her 'looks' to him. Spike just ignored her, looking at the bottle and listening to Jet.
Jet was saying, "We just afforded that and you hospital bill. For some reason though, I told them we were bounty hunters and they gave us a discount? I didn't know hospitals could do that?"
Spike stuffed the bottle in his pocket followed by his hand and he mumbled, "Can we get out of here, Jet?"
Jet replied, "Yeah, let's get going."
Spike and Faye followed Jet out. Outside the hospital, Spike lit a cigarette. Jet said, "Oh I forgot to tell you, Spike. They said you have to come back in a week and to change your bandage at least twice a day."
Spike just sighed and said, "Sure."
They began walking, Jet said, "The only dock is a good 6 blocks from here, sorry I couldn't find anywhere closer."
Spike was walking slow, still tired from his operation and being in the hospital. He walked with his hands in his pockets staring at the ground. Jet and Faye were way ahead of him. Faye was the first to stop and look at Spike as he walked. She noticed his slow pace and the rather sad expression on his face. Spike lifted his head to meet Faye's eyes staring at him, "What?" he said in his monotone voice.
Faye asked, "Taking your time I see."
Spike didn't say anything he just kept walking, but now with his head up. He walked past Faye slowly but didn't look at her or say anything, acted like she wasn't there. Faye was really starting to wonder if something, other than his eye, was wrong with him. Whatever it was, he was trying really hard not to show it. 'What else is new, right?' Faye thought. Something in her sensed that there was something wrong-deeply wrong with Spike, but he wouldn't admit it to her, he probably wouldn't admit it to himself.
Faye kept her distance as she followed behind Spike, she could hear Jet in the distance yell, "Hey, come on you two keep up."
Spike just kept walking at his own pace, Faye still followed. After Jet turned around and saw Spike's face he didn't yell again, just kept walking. Jet said to himself, "Wonder what's wrong with those two?"
All was silent except for the cars and the sound of their shoes on the sidewalk, as they made their way 6 blocks to the docked Bebop.
*Well hoped you liked it! I really didn't know how I was going to end this chapter so I hope the ending isn't too bad. This chapter was really fun to write (probably cause I had just finished reading reviews when I wrote it!) , hope it was just as much fun for you to read! Please review! Oh and I won't be able to update for at least two weeks cause I'm going away next week, so no new chapter till I get back to write and type it, sorry in advance. Thanks till next chapter…*
