Chapter One: Take down the freaks!

Her glock was set. After hiding her Redtail, Faye would at last make her entrance into the Red Dragon Syndicate Building. It was a building like no other. It stood tall as if to say that it was a powerful building, but she noticed the damage caused on the roof and the people moving about above her. Damn! She thought to herself. The battle that Spike left her for was over, but where was Spike? Was he still alive?

This was the chance she had to take. If Spike was somewhere in the building, she had to get him out.

She quietly made her way through the lobby of the building. She took an admiration for Spike's handy killing work. There was still blood on the walls and some bodies still lay dead. No one was present nearby. She took her chances through the bullet torn elevator that would take her to the top floor...to Vicious.

She got herself armed and ready before the elevator door was to open. The moment was about to arrive. There would probably be dozens of Syndicate members waiting to tear her with bullets the moment they spot her there. Still, it was all worth finding Spike.

The elevator reaches the top…the doors open…Faye sticks her gun out…

Nothing.

'Where the hell was everybody?!' Faye thought frantically.

Suddenly the sounds of footsteps were approaching behind her. She still had a chance to hide. She chose to stand by the door and fire her gun at whoever planned to enter.

And wouldn't you know it Vicious, entered through the door. Well, actually, it fell over since it was mostly destroyed from the battle. Faye had an evil grin. Killing Vicious was just like getting Spike back. He was responsible for causing Spike to increase her misery.

Vicious froze the moment he felt the cold metal of Faye's gun against the side of his head. He was a little to calm; he didn't bother to call for his men to come or to even draw his katana.

"Where's Spike?"

Vicious looked down silent for a moment until he decided to bring his head up for Faye to see the smirk on his face.

"No longer of this world."

'Spike?! Oh God, no!' Faye was breaking up mentally. She had to hold on to the moment. If she weakened, Vicious would have an advantage. Faye looked down to cover up the sadness building up. Her face turned brutal and angry.

"At least I can still kill you."

"Spike couldn't do it," chuckled Vicious. "What makes you think you can take me?"

With a snap of his finger the sound of rushing footsteps erupted. Faye began rushing over to the other side of the massive room and hid behind Vicious's "throne". She managed to bring down a few members the moment she caught sight of them entering.

Unfortunately she was enormously outnumbered. No matter how hard she tried to defend herself. She was dragged back to Vicious by several syndicate men and disarmed within minutes.

"So you think you can just waltz in here getting whatever it is you want? As long as you're here…" Vicious draws his katana to Faye's chest. "…you might as well stay."
