O, whenever u see, * that means its to be emphasized, I would use italics but my computer wont let me, same with why my spacing is so close,(!#@&! computer)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ . . .

Faye looked at Spike in horror, he was putting her on the spot! Damn him!! . . "Well. I'm sure we can find you a place to stay, I mean I know some great complexes around where I live, I'm sure I can put a good word in to the landlord or something!" She smiled and laughed nervously, but turned to Spike for a second to give him a 'shut up or be ready for immense pain' look. . . . Somoane just watched and smiled "Oh that would be so great!! Don't you think Mr. Spiegel?" . . . . . Spike was a little busy looking at Faye, but finally noticed he was being talked to. "Hmm, what, oh yes that is great, thank you so much Faye."

. . .

Faye looked at him and gave him a look. "Pardon Mr. Spiegel?" she said through clenched teeth. . . .

Spike looked between Faye and Somoane before realizing his mistake. "Oh, I mean Liana, Liana, Liana* sorry about that!" he said rather quickly. . . . .

"Oh that's ok" Somoane cut in "Actually Mr. Spiegel you said that name several times while you were in a coma, if you don't mind me asking was she someone special to you? A girlfriend or something of that nature?" . . Faye smirked and took a step toward Somoane, then turned to look at Spike. . . "Yes, Mr. Spiegel, what was your relationship with this Faye? We are all dying to know" she said smugly . . . . . Spike stared at Somoane then at Faye who had a triumphant like expression on her face that mad him quite angry. . . . . "Actually, she was a real shrew of a woman, who did nothing but steal my money and gamble it away." he said matter-of-factly, looking Faye in the eye. . . . . Faye bit down on her tongue to keep herself from attacking him, Somoane just had a disappointed look on her face- "Oh, that's to bad, I was hoping it was some romance story, where he chases her down, or they both hide there true feelings or something like that!." . . . . . "Yes well" Faye interrupted "Only in the fairytales can 2 people *run away* together, and *live* happily ever-after." she said giving Spike a nasty look. He sat there, holding his tongue and glaring at her, if his muscles hadn't been so sore he probably would have gone after her right then and there. . . . . . "Gee, Liana, sounding a little bitter, have some bad *memories* or something?" Spike asked sarcastically, with a bit of hidden anger. . . . . Faye inhaled quickly but before she could say anything else Somoane spoke "Well, anyway, Liana, we have other patient to attend too so let's give Mr. Spiegel some rest." . . . . . Faye shot Spike one more dirty look before leaving with Liana. . ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 2 hours later . . . Faye and Somoane were at their main desk filing through some admittance papers. They had just finished giving each patient lunch, though while Faye was in Spike's room, he had mocked her about the job and outfit. . . . . "Umm, Liana not to be nosy or anything, but what was the deal with you and Mr. Spiegel?" . . . Faye didn't even look up from her papers, "What deal?" . . . . "I mean, like. the way you look at each other when you talk, it's almost like. you know each other." . This caused Faye to look up from her papers, "We don't! I mean he's just. like. social, we talk, isn't that part of a nurse's job? To be a bit of comfort the patients? " . . . "Well, of course, but the way he was poking fun at you at lunch-" . "You heard that!?!? What were you listening right outside the door or something?" She demanded, indeed angry that her privacy was being invaded. Well, not really privacy, but still.. . . "Well, yea, I mean you guys weren't really quiet." she said . . . . Faye sighed heavily "Well, he gets a kick out of making fun of me, I guess that's just his sick nature." she said looking back to her papers. . . . "Whatever" . . A little while later Somoane had left early and the late staff was coming in, Faye had volunteered, she figured the night shift wouldn't be as attentive as the regular day shift so it would be easier to sneak Spike out. . . . . Spike was sitting peacefully in his room, when he heard a soft rapping at the door. Faye poked her head in and looked around to make sure it was all clear. . . . . "Its all clear Faye, get in here." he said in his usual tone. . . . She just glared at him and came in carrying a little bag, she tossed it at him and he caught it (of course)

"What's this" he asked opening the bag.

"Your clothes, now get dressed, I wanna get out of here fast." she said

"You just want to see me get changed" he said smugly . . . Faye blushed oh so slightly, "Pervert, I can't think of anyone in their right mind who would want to see you naked!" . . He just smiled, and stood up wincing on the way. Faye noticed, "are you still sore?" . . .

"No, no no, I'm fine." . . . . "Yea, we'll see how fine you are after the 10 block walk back to the Bebop." she said . . . Spike looked at her from his changing, even though she had her back turned "10 blocks?" . . "Yea, the dock isn't close, duh." she said, "Are you done yet?" . . . "Er, yea, you can look now." . . She turned around and looked (duh) and was a bit, ok a lot, taken back by what she saw. Spike had his regular suit pants on, but he was in the process of putting his shirt on. A huge gash, well now a scar was visible clear across his abdomen. Faye looked, actually more like gawked, needless to say Spike noticed. . . . "Find something interesting there Faye?" he asked teasingly while throwing his blue jacket on. . . . . "Huh, n-no, not in the least" she said, walking towards the door. . . . "Im sure" he said while she brushed past him, "Anyway, just how the hell am I supposed to get out of here?" . . "Its pretty easy, since this a totally different staff than during the day, you can just calmly walk, or in your case gimp, out, and I'll stay a few feet in front, nobody will be the wiser." she said simply, opening the door and poking her head out.

. . . 10 blocks later, on the Bebop . Jet was up late, clipping his trees. He was reallt worried, he had told Faye hours ago to leave and she still wasn't out, he thought maybe they were caught or something.

CRASH!!!!! "Danmit!" "Well Lunkhead, I told you you shouldn't rush it!" "Listen shrew, I can walk just fine!" "Oh really, is that why you just collapsed on the floor?!" "I didn't fall I tripped!" "Tripped my ass!" . . Jet set down his clippers and walked into the 'living room' to see Spike on his knees holding onto the railing for dear life, while Faye was standing next to him with her hands on her hips. 'The circus is in town' Jet thought to himself, sighing. . . "Kids, would you stop fooling around." Jet said, motioning for them to come and sit. After more cursing, gimping, bear hugs from Ed, an explanation to Spike of why Ed was there, and barks from Ein they were all sitting and waiting for an explanation from Jet.

. . "Well.. see, ok I'll just get to the point, the syndicate is up and running again, they are after Spike, but they seem to know your alive which is nearly impossible. So, I figure somebody was watching you, which means they were watching Faye also." . . "Yea, and?" Spike asked leaning back in his seat . Faye took the moment to speak up "Well, see unlike you, Jet actually cares for someone besides himself." . Before any of them could speak up again Ed spoke, ok yelled. . . "Ed found it!!! Ed found picture of sccaaaarrrryyy leader person!!" . . Faye walked over and hunched down with Spike standing right behind her, looking over her shoulder. . . Spike went wide-eyed, while Faye gasped and yelped. "Oh. my. god. its" she stood up and was slowly backing up form the screen, never taking her eyes off the screen. She felt very heavy and tired, it was getting a little dark and hazy. Right before she collapsed She barely muttered "It's Gren"
