I yawned loudly. It was pretty late and I couldn't sleep. I sat up on the couch which was my bed at the time. It looked like everyone was also asleep. I lied back down on the couch and closed my eyes. Trying real hard to go to sleep.

"Hey, Hey Gian? HEY!" I sat up immediately looking around.

"Who, what, where, when ???" I looked up to see Faye. I rubbed my eyes and groaned since I didn't sleep that well.

"Some people want to sit here you know." She said waiting with a magazine. I sighed and got out of the couch. I groggily made my way to the rest room to wash my face. After some nice ice cold water being splashed on my face, I walked to the couch and sat down next to Faye.

"What I don't get, is why you aren't trying to pull anything." She asked looking up from her magazine. I thought for a moment. She would never in a lifetime believe my story so I had to come up with something.

"Umm.You guys outnumber me and.uhhh this isn't my jurisdiction." I lied. She looked at me for a few more seconds but eventually went back to her reading. I could tell she knew I was lying. I wasn't really good at lying since I didn't do it that much. I groaned yet again as I held my head in pain. Faye looked up again from her magazine, more annoyed then concerned.

"Is something the matter Gian?" She asked. I finally remembered why I've been getting all these headaches. I couldn't believe I didn't realize until now!

"My glasses." I muttered in pain.

"Woof!"

"YAA!!!" I screamed in surprise. I looked over at the source of the sound to see Ein the dog, with my glasses. I grumbled a bit at first but I smiled when I took back my glasses from the dog.

"Heh, heh, thanks Ein." I said putting my glasses. I sighed in relief when I could finally see everything clear.

"Giany Gian!!"

"AAAHH!" I exclaimed. It was Ed, it seemed she wanted to talk to me about something.

"Either I need more courage, or I'll die of a heart attack." I said tiredly. I could see that Ed really, REALLY wanted to show me something by the look in her face.

"Oh hey Ed, uhh you needed to tell me somethin'?" I asked. She moved to the side and showed me a picture of what looked like a pretty mean lookin' man. I looked over at Ed to see her standing on her hands.

"Is there something about this guy?" I asked. Not really getting what's going on I just scratched my head a bit. Finally Faye put down her magazine and looked over at me.

"If Ed shows you that, that means she's showing you a bounty." She explained. I blinked a few times after realizing what they both expected me to do.

"But.but can't you do it? I mean, you got more experience than I'd ever have." I told her, trying to get myself out of this. She stood up and pulled me to my feet.

"Listen I'd go but I did it last time. Spike and Jet are out and anyway you could catch him easy." She said. I gave her a confused look and sound.

"Eh?"

She smirked. "Don't think I'm stupid, a police department wouldn't send a unit that would just be a rookie. If they sent you after us you must be one hell of an expert. So go on now." Faye said walking to the controls.









"I don't believe this." I muttered. I pushed up on my glasses and put on my cop hat. She didn't say where I was or where I was going. All she did was tell me to call her on walkie talkie if I caught him. I looked around glumly.

"Alright, if I was a murderer where would I be..?" I wondered shuddering at the thought. Suddenly I heard a scream.

"Bingo!" I shouted as ran to a dark alley. I saw a god awful site. There was a man on the floor in a bloody mess, mangled into I don't even know what. He looked over at me with a menacing grin. I smiled back laughing nervously. I looked back to see that I had run deep into the alley. Dang it! Why did the alley have to so far?? I asked myself mentally in fright. The man wasted no time to feed off my fear. It only took him a few steps before he reached me and grab my neck. He lifted me of the ground as I struggled.

"Can't we...talk about this.?" I managed to choke out. He just tightened his grip on my neck. I slowly started to black out. I then heard a loud explosion and then everything went black. When I woke up. I looked around. I had a bandage wrapped around my head. I tried to sit up but then got pushed back onto the couch. I looked over to see Faye. Putting a first aid kit on the floor.

"What happened..?" I asked laying back down. Faye looked at me and sighed.

"I saved you from near death." She said examining my face. I could sense she was getting real suspicious of me.

"W-what is it Faye?" I asked looking around with my eyes, trying to avoid her stare.

"I just don't get it, you can't take care of a skilled murder but they send you on a mission to capture us." She said to me with a puzzled look. I tried looking through my list of lies to tell her but then again, I was never good at lying anyway so I just gave up and let out a heavy sigh.

"You aren't from around here are you?" She asked. I looked up. I was busted.

"Brooklyn." I said. By the look on her face I could tell she never heard of the place so I didn't even bother.

"It's where I'm from, listen I don't know how or why I'm on this ship, but I just woke up here." I told her. She kept her stare at me, this time with a sarcastic look. I groaned, I didn't feel like arguing. I was trapped on a ship with four deadly people and one dog. And I was even close to near death with a murderer. She shook her head and slowly got up.

"It's a pretty crazy story. But still, it's kind of believable since you don't even know how to handle a gun." So I got one believer.sort of. 'Now if I could only get Spike and Jet to believe me..but how?' I thought so hard I swear you could see smoke coming outta my ears.

"So our little friend here isn't very local is he?" I turned around to see Jet and Spike right behind me.

"Umm.a heh heh." I laughed nervously.

"So why did you come here?" Spike asked. Then it struck me. I couldn't really remember anything before waking up on the ship. Well except for living in Brooklyn but that was about it. I couldn't remember who I lived with or who were my friends.

"I.uhh.I umm. Don't.know." I said thinking hard. I shut my eyes tightly as my brain strained to come up with some sort of memory except for Brooklyn and New York. But all I got was a blank. When I opened up my eyes I found Ed looking at me face to face. I moved back a bit in surprise but then sigh heavily. I looked around to see everyone still waiting for an answer.

"I'm sorry guys I just don't remember!" I exclaimed in frustration. Suddenly I felt a pounce and then I fell to the floor. When I looked at the pouncer it was none other then Ed. And Somehow she had been able to take my glasses. She smiled a big smile

"Don't worry Gian Gian! Your with us now!" I sighed a heavy sigh. It was gonna be a very long trip.
