Chapter Seven: Something More

*Rural Hotel*

Spike lay awake on the moth eaten hotel mattress next to a sleeping fully dressed Faye. She had her back turned to him curled up in a defensive ball. He rolled his body on its side to look at her. His cotton shirt was buttoned around his wrist as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Faye..?" his shaky voice broke through the silent air in the hotel room. Faye's head rolled over her shoulder to look at him. Her dark mascara was running down her cheeks mingled with salty tears. "Faye..baby, I'm sorry." He brought his hand to her face and wiped away the sooty tears. She pulled back slightly but let him wipe the tear.

"It's not that..it's just, Spike isn't there more?" She asked looking into his caring eyes.

"More? Whatcha mean more?" he asked confused.

"More than just robbing banks..I mean wh-" Spike stopped her pushing his finger to her lips.

"Shhhh." He soothed moving his hand to the back of her head. "Faye." He whispered kissing the top of her jasmine scented head. "Shhh..you need your sleep cause we gonna go inta town tomorrow." She stopped crying and wiped her tears away with a soft hand. She laid her head on his clothed chest listening to his rhythmic breathing.

"Oh Spike.."

'Isn't there more out there..' She thought falling asleep with his hand caressing her head that lay resting on his chest.

*Next Morning In Town*

Spike sauntered into the stone walled bank with a pistol in each hand. His white fedora tainted slightly brown from dirt was cocked to the side. He grinned flashing perfectly white teeth as Faye walked in beside him. Her black beret was also tiled to the side with her straight violet hair lying perfectly beneath it. Vicious walked up behind them running up to the counter. He jumped on to a wooden chair and then over the wooden barrier that separated the bank tellers from the customers. "Good afternoon ya'll. This is the Spiegel Gang." Spike spoke loudly as he motioned for Faye to get the money from the other bank teller. Vicious was on the other side getting his share of the money. Spike looked at an old white haired man who had been depositing his money into the bank. "Is that your money or the banks?" Spike asked looking at the man. The man looked up scared but spoke bravely.

"Mine." His old voice cracked as he pointed a nobly finger at himself.

Spike nodded, "Then you go ahead and keep it." Spike heard the unclipping of a gun from its holster. His head snapped to the left as he shot the hat off a very stunned police officer that had been standing guard in the bank. "Next time I'll shoot a lil bit lower!" Spike warned grinning cockily as the man dropped his gun scared out of his wits.

Faye ran clumsily back to Spike in her heels with her black purse full of money swaying back and forth on her arm. Her gray skit was hugging her hips as she stopped next to Spike. He looked over at her smiling. They both turned to leave as Vicious got up on the bank tellers desk and climbed back over jumping down in front of another police officer. Vicious pulled the man's sunglasses of his face and stared him in the eyes. "Take a good look pops, I'm Vicious Spiegel." With that last word he ran out of the bank after his brother and Faye. Ed who had been standing guard on a street corner close to the bank now ran to the black sedan and jumped in next to Julia in the back seat. Spike ran to the divers side as Faye threw the passenger door open jumping in. Vicious got in next to Julia handing her the sunglasses. "Happy Birthday hun." Spike slammed down on the gas petal speeding down the town's main street. As they left the calls of small children echoed in Faye's ears bringing a larger than life smile to her ruby lips.

"Faye and Spike! Faye and Spike!" They yelled in a singsong voice cheering their heroes on as they speed off down the road.

Spike looked in the rear view mirror seeing three law cars following them closely. He tore down the dirt road as the cars followed his every move. He turned sharply to the right sending one of the cars rolling over down into a ditch. Faye jumped up as the adrenalin coursed through her veins. Spike was hunched over the wheel tensely as he spotted a small dirt valley. One of the cars now had an officer leaning out of the window with a gun; a bullet hit the mirror shattering it. Spike blindly swerved dangerously close to the edge of the valley has the cars followed. The car with the officer leaning out of the window was leaning to one side because of that very officer. It tipped slowly before totally rolling over and over down the hill.

"We're entering Oklahoma!" Ed cried as Spike sat up slightly. He sighed quietly as the last car turned around.

The two officers in the car were deciding weather or not to pursue them. "Come on let's catch them any way!" One of the said to the other who was driving.

"I ain't riskin' ma life in Oklahoma!"

Spike looked out the window cautiously. He grinned happily taking his hat off putting it on Faye's head. She giggled moving closer to him hugging his arm as he took it off the wheel. They drove for an hour until they though they would be safe pulling off into a small field. Spike parked the car in the middle of the field as everyone got out.

"Hey I'm gonna check to see if the cars workin' right cause I heard a pop when we were gettin' away." Ed said getting down under the car to check it. Spike nodded as he took off his jacket and laid it down on the grass. He sat on the footstep of the sedan on the driver's side. Faye sat down on a stump close to the car. Vicious handed Spike his bag before sitting down on the dry grass with Julia on his lap facing him. Faye handed Spike her bag as he emptied them both onto his jacket.

"It ain't much is it?" He sighed looking at their haul. The small pile of ones and fives mixed with a few quarters lay mockingly before him.

"Times is hard." Vicious sighed holding Julia in his arms. Ed lay under the car still looking at the oilcan. Faye sat on the tree stump picking dirt from under her fingernails with the bottom of a match.

"Oh well.." Spike sighed picking up a one and placed in a pile next to himself. He picked up another one and handed it to Vicious. The next to Faye, and then one for Ed. Julia whispered to Vicious nudging him with her elbow quietly.

He cleared his through and spoke to Spike, "Hey uhh Spike what about Julia here." He cocked his head towards his wife.

"What?" Faye stuttered unable to stop herself from blurting it out. Julia glared at Faye before she started defending herself.

"Well, why not? I earned my share same as everybody. Well, I coulda gotten killed same as everybody. And I'm wanted by the law same as everybody....I'm a nervous wreck and that's the truth. I have to take sass from Miss Faye Valentine all the time. I deserve mine." Julia said wrapping her arms around her self as she leaned against Vicious.

"Oh yeah you deserve yours!" Faye whispered to her self as Spike took the ones back from the group. Faye gasped at Spike's favoritism towards his brother. She stormed off outraged. Spike got up and ran to Faye stopping her. He stepped before her and looked into her eyes.

"Julia is married to Vicious, and Vicious is family." Spike told her calmly holding her shoulder with one hand.

"My family could use some of that money." Faye said compassionately motioning to the money on the ground next to the car.

Spike looked away from Faye and then back again squinting as the hot sun beat down on them. She looked down at the ground sadly. "Well you know how them law's been hangin' around your Mama's house till all hours. It's too risky to go up there now." He moved her chin with his making her look into his eyes.

"Where can we go now? We rob the damn banks. What else do we do?" She asked puzzled searching his eyes for an answer.

"Well, whatcha want to do?" He would have offered her the world if he though it would make her happy. He would do anything for her. He would die for her. She stared at him thinking. She was about to speak when Ed cut her off.

"Spike..Spike!" Ed yelled running up to them oil masking her face. "There's a leak in the oilcan!" She ran back to the car with Spike and Faye behind her. She dove under the car and brought her hand back out. It was covered in the black rich substance.

"We'll need ta swipe a car if we wanna get anywhere."

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

AN: okee Faye's thoughts are strange. You see she finds her self in the same problem as before, trapped. So the only thing she can cling to in order to keep her sanity is Spike, and when he does something she doesn't agree with it drives her crazy because he is her only joy. He and her adventurousness are the only reason she continues to do what he wants..but in the next chapter you'll see her break away from that! Hehehehe I hope ya'll like it! Please Read and Review I love hearin' from ya'll!!!! I'm very sorry it's so short...I promise the next one will be longer and have fluffy stuff! PS: Reposted because I fixed it!
