Anyway, without furthur ado, here is ze 8th chapter of A Pleasant Dream This chapter gives you a BIG HINT of what Ryo's up to, but don't think it's all of it, there is MUCH more to it ^_^ Oh, by the way, thanks for the r/r guys, keep it up!
Ryo paced back and forth in his mini office, his mind frantically searching for the answer.
*I'm so stupid, I should of KNOWN she would be an eavesdropper!* he thought.
Sighing, he realized what he would have to do... he would have to track her down. It was something he really did not want to do, because he wanted to stay on good terms with Faye, but it seemed that there was no hope for that any more. He sat down at his desk, and opened his silver laptop. Typing rapidly, he accesed the Earth Technology Science Labs. The bold headlines on the screen were the same as always:
5 MILLION BOUNTY ON FAYE VALENTINE- FROZEN FOR 54 YEARS, HAS DEBT TO PAY
Ryo sighed. He went in to the access forum, which required a password, and saw that Dr. Kino, the head of the lab, was one. He invited him to a private chat so they could speak.
Ryo: Dr. Kino, I have news
Dr. Kino: Yes, Ryo?
Ryo: She has ran away
Dr. Kino: WHAT?
Ryo: I tried to stop her... I'm going to need search parties
Dr. Kino: ... very well, she is in Venus, correct?
Ryo: Yes, and I'm terribly sorry about this whole thing, she just ran away, she eavesdropped on our conversation!
Dr. Kino: Stupid woman.... ok I will organize a search party. Good Bye Ryo
Ryo: Good Bye Dr. Kino
Ryo signed off, closed down the laptop, and shut it closed. He leaned back on his chair, taking a deep breath.

The girls went out in to the back yard, where the was a beatiful table/chair set on the low balcony. The grass was a beautiful emerald color, surrounding the lake and dock that the house was close to. There was a gorgeous white gazebo on a small hill up ahead.
"That's a nice gazebo," commented Faye.
"Thanks, it's an Italian artwork from the 1800's!" replied Audrey.
"Wow, that's old," exclaimed Faye. She sat down on a chair, gazing at the surroundings.
"So Faye, what do you plan on doing?" asked Desiree.
"Yeah, are you going back to the Bebop?" asked Audrey.
Faye sighed deeply. The realization that she could not stay with these girls forever just came back to her.
"I-I really don't know," she replied.
"Well, if you don't, it's not like you're hopeless! I mean, a nomadic life could be fun too! In a sense," exclaimed Loretta.
Faye sighed.
"I've tried it... I've been a nomad before I met the Bebop. Now, it's just hard. I've done the damage, I've become attached, something I've feared for so long," Faye replied.
Just then, they heard the sound of the doorbell ringing. Faye stood up abruptly.
"Oh no, it may be Ryo!" she exclaimed.
"In here!" whispered Loretta frantically, opening a smaller door to the house.
"It leads to the basement!"
Faye ran down the steps, engulfed in darkness. She decided to sit on the steps, not wanting to go further.
Loretta locked the door shut, and ran after her sisters to get to the door. A large burly man who resembled a scientist due to his big lab coat, was at the door.
"Who are you?" asked Loretta.
The man held up an I.D which said Joseph Kinto.
"Is there a Faye Valentine here?" he asked bluntly.
"No, why?" asked Desiree.
"It is confidential matters, but witnesses have spotted her coming to this exact house."
"You know, we've been in so many conflicts with the neigbors, they would do anything to get is in trouble," Audrey quickly lied.
The man narrowed his eyes on her. The girls struggled to keep a straight face. He sighed, and left. They shut the door, breathing sighs of relief. They rushed to the back and told Faye what happened.
"WHAT?! Ryo was involved with THEM? That's even MORE of a reason not to trust him!" screeched Faye in fury.
"Well, we don't know that Ryo was invo-" started Loretta, but Faye cut her off.
"No, he WAS. They never just started to track me down like this... he was working for them, I KNOW IT. And they probably will still think you have me, and Ryo will plan some dumb plot to kidnap me AGAIN!" raged Faye, beads of sweat forming on her face.
"Faye, cool down! Please!" begged Audrey.
"Yes, we'll keep you here for as long as we have to," assured Desiree.
Faye forced a smile. "Thanks," she replied meekly.
Meekly... Faye Valentine, meekly? What had happened to her?
