Chapter 1
// "You're wasting your time, Spy."
Annie said as she poured herself a drink.
"I know he's still out there."
"He's dead. Accept it."
Annie glanced over at a picture of her, Mao, and another unknown man on the table.
"You and Mao are as stubborn as mules."
Annie sighed and took a drink from her glass. Spiro stood up and headed for the door.
"You're being an idiot, Spy! Don't go chasing after what'll never come back!"
Annie scolded her. Spiro stopped at the door and turned her head back.
"You can tell me a millions times how I'm being stupid. But every time I'll just keep going."
With that, Spiro walked out the door. Annie gave a groan of frustration and took another drink.
"She's a fool. A full-blooded fool."
She said under her breath. //
**Far off in space, near Mars… On a ship called The Mayhem…**
Spiro woke up abruptly, beads of sweat dripping down her forehead.
"You ok in there, Spy?"
May called out from the kitchen.
"Fine."
Spiro answered back. For the past two years, Spiro had been plagued with nightmares of a man from her past, a man whom she had fallen in love with long ago. He was that kind of dangerous that you couldn't just leave alone.
"I'm making Ravioli and beef, come get it while it's hot!"
May called out, banging a wooden spoon on the outside of a pot.
// "Put the gun down, Spy!"
Spike pleaded, afraid she might carry out her dark deed.
"Get out, Spy. This doesn't concern you."
Spiro held the gun to the side of her head, finger on the trigger and ready to fire.
"Yes it does! You're about to throw you're life away over something so stupid! Do you realize how idiotic that is? You're too smart for this!"
Spike took a step closer and Spiro stepped back, her eyes full of betrayal and pain.
"Let me help, Spike."
Spiro still held the gun to her temple.
"Spy, give me the gun."
Spike held out his hand. Spiro stared back at him. Finally, she moved the gun away and placed it in Spike's hand. //
"Spy! Move your ass!"
May's booming voice broke Spiro's train of though. Slowly she got to her feet and made out to the living room area.
"About time, you fall down or something?"
May joked, punching Spiro lightly in the shoulder.
"I was just thinking."
Spiro managed to say.
"About him again?"
Spiro nodded, holding up a fork with some ravioli speared on the end of it.
"You shouldn't think so much about that, you'll get sick."
May began eating her share of the ravioli and beef.
"Besides- he's probably forgotten all about you and that Julia."
At the mention of the name 'Julia', Spiro brought her fist down hard onto the table in anger, her eyes burning with hatred.
"Never say that name."
Spiro said coldly, tossing her fork into her now empty bowl.
"I'm going for a ride. Phone me if you have to."
With that, Spiro left the room and headed for the hanger.
// Spiro walked down the street, carrying a black suitcase. Her faced streaked with tears. A bright red rose was placed in her hair, the one he had given her the night he disappeared. Unnoticeably, the rose fell. It fell into a puddle as Spiro continued to walk. She was leaving; leaving to find him. The one person who would give her the answers she believed she deserved. She couldn't go back. It was too late to look back. //
