Gian hummed a tune as he walked through the halls. He walked to the area
where the DeLorean and the two other vehicles. He walked over to Edward who
was busily at work behind the car where the engine was.
"Umm what are ya doin' Ed?" Gian asked. He trusted that she knew what she was doing so he didn't question that. Ed looked up at him through her goggles.
"Oh hi Gian Gian! Ed installed a special program that I know you'll liiiiike!" Her voice sang in a sort of song that made him chuckle. She closed the back of the DeLorean and adjusted Mr. Fusion. She then stood there smiling her Edward type smile. It seemed that she changed the whole frame and interior of the DeLorean. But strangely it looked the same. The DeLorean seemed to turn on by itself. He saw a light bar on the grill of the car turn on. The red light on it went from left to right and gave a whir type of sound. Gian jumped as he heard the motor running.
"KITT operational, system check has been performed. Would the owner of this vehicle please state your name." Gian couldn't believe this. Edward had installed the KITT program on his DeLorean. Before he could say anything Ed put her finger on his lips and pointed to KITT. Gian nodded and looked at his new car.
"Gian Carlo."
"...Name and voice signature confirmed, should I call you Gian? Mr. Carlo?" Gian smiled and shook his head.
"Plain ol' Gian will do." The DeLorean beeped computer beeps a few times.
"Confirmed, Gian. Nice to meet you. I am Kitt." Gian smiled a big smiled as the car spoke. He never expected to have two of his favorite cars in one. He hugged Edward tightly and thanked her about a million times. Ed just giggled in his arms.
"Well that's a lot of fuss over me." Gian walked over to Kitt and smiled.
"Are you kidding!? You're the greatest thing that has ever happened to me since pasta!!" Gian was dancing by the end of his sentence in happiness. Spike walked in and watched him and sighed through his cigarette.
"Smoking can really be dangerous to your health you know." Spike blinked and looked around. Gian looked at him and wondered why he was looking around.
"Who was that?" Spike asked a little paranoid now. Gian laughed a bit and smiled.
"Spike I'd like you to meet my new friend Kitt. Kitt this is Spike Spiegel." Spike couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. There was Gian talking to his own car as there it was responding.
"How do you do?" Kitt asked. Spike blinked and sighed. 'Things just get wierder and weirder..' he thought. He simply made a small wave of hello to the car and walked back into the living room. "I take it he doesn't like cars?" Gian looked over at his new pal and shook his head.
"Naw he's just Spike that's all." Ed hopped on jumps shoulder and sang a rather strange song. All Gian could do was listen and sigh. "And I just wonder how she manages to be such a genius and a fun kid at the same time.." After Ed explained what all the new buttons did Gian decided to call it a day. He walked to his the living room and plopped on the couch which was also his bed. After a good few hours of a nap he opened his eyes and yawned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gian awoke the next day to a little trumpet and then some banjos. He opened his eyes groggily and looked in the direction of the source of the sound. There was Spike watching Big Shot. Gian grabbed his glasses from the coffee table and put them on. He yawned and sat up. He groggily looked at Spike and groaned.
"Ohh what time is it?" Gian asked holding his head. It felt like he only got two minutes of sleep.
"Five in the morning." Spike answered without looking.
"Today's bounty is the notorious Jessica Scarlet! She is known for theft and murder so be careful buckaroos!" Gian jumped off of the couch and smiled a big smile.
"Oh oh! Lemmie take this one!!" Spike looked at Gian who was jumping up and down with excitement.
"Well sure go ahead. It's not like your going with me anyway." Spike leaned back on the couch and sighed.
"Wrong Spike, he IS going with you." Spike looked up at Jet with a look of outrage.
"What!?" He asked spitting out his cigarette. Jet simply nodded.
"Yup you two need to learn to get along with each other." Jet looked over at Gian who didn't seem to mind at all. "Okay let me rephrase that, YOU have to learn to get along with him."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Soo uhh how's live been?" Gian asked while driving. Spike just laid back onto the seat and lit a cigarette.
"Excuse me, but this is a no smoking car." Kitt stated as if it were a law.
"Does it look like I care?" Spike asked blowing smoke to the dashboard.
"Very well, you have been warned." Suddenly the window slid down and there was a forceful wind inside the car. Spike's cigarette flew out the window and as soon as it did the window closed and the fast air stopped.
"What the hell??" Spike asked blinking. Gian sighed and shook his head.
"You shoulda listened to him Spike." Spike said nothing and sat there hot headed. They finally arrived at the bar where their information led them to. Gian and Spike climbed out and looked around cautiously.
"Alright stay on the look out Kitt. If you spot anything suspicious you call me alright?" Gian told Kitt.
"Right." Kitt turned all of his scanners and was on full alert. Gian followed Spike into the bar. He could hear him grumbling something like 'How come he gets a cool car?' Gian couldn't help but laugh a little but then put a serious face. They looked around the bar. Suddenly someone ran out the door right past them. Spike gave chase and so did Gian.
"What are you doing!?" Spike yelled at Gian.
"Doing what we came down here to do!" Gian yelled back. Spike shook his head.
"Go back to the bar I got this one! Don't bother!" After Spike yelled that Gian stopped running. He blinked and couldn't imagine why he said that. He sighed and walked back to the bar to order an orange juice. He walked in and sat at the counter. Little did he know a woman sitting right next to him, looking at him.
"Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice your badge sir." The woman said with a smile. Her green eyes seem to sparkle a little which made Gian blush slightly. "Are you a police officer?"
"Well I am.." Before Gian could finish the woman waved her long hair in front of him and gave him another smile.
"Would you come with me? I need some help with a parking ticket, I don't know where to pay it." Gian nodded as if in a trance. She led him through the back way were supposedly the back parking lot was but there was only an alley.
"Umm ma'am I don't-" Before Gian could say anything else someone had pistol whipped him in the back of the head. It was the same woman he was talking to at the bar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spike walked back to the bar and looked around for the detective but saw no sign of him. He walked over to Kitt and lit a cigarette.
"You know those are going to eventually kill you." Spike said nothing and threw the match to the floor.
"Where's Gian? I told him to go to the bar." Spike asked Kitt.
"I thought it was strange for him to come in the middle of a pursuit. Well, there has been no sign of him for almost an hour now. I tried to contact him but there has been no response. I've also tried tracking down his location but the signal is blocked." Spike looked at the car and sighed grimly.
"Damn, why me..?" Spike opened the door to the DeLorean and sat in the driver's seat. He pulled out the walkie talkie that was in the glove compartment. "Jet, Jet can you hear me?"
"What is it Spike?"
"He blew it once again." Kitt added. Spike made a gesture as if he was going to smack the dashboard but shook it off.
"I've lost Gian. Me and Kitt see no sign of him."
"Damn it Spike! What happened!?" Jet sounded furious. Spike was really expecting this from Gian's mother. But Jet?
"Look we need help, get everyone down here." After that he heard no further response from Jet. He yawned and leaned back into the driver's seat.
"What are you doing?" Kitt asked sounding rather irritated. " Shouldn't you start looking for Gian?"
"He's a big boy, he can take care of himself." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gian fell to the floor. He was tied to a chair and his face was bruised.
"Now Mister...Carlo was it?" The woman laughed softly. "Are you going to tell me where you keep your valuables? I don't want to have to get rough." Gian looked up at her in pain. He gritted his teeth trying to ignore the pain.
"I'm tellin' ya lady! All I got is my badge and my car!" The woman smiled and shook her head.
"Wrong answer." She snapped her fingers and a big burly man in a suit walked in front of him. "You know what to do Mick." The man sat Gian and the chair up straight. He pulled out a bat. Gian only had tears of pain as he shut his eyes tight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jet walked back to the DeLorean. Ed was sitting on the hood typing on her computer with her goggles on. Spike and Faye were leaning against the DeLorean talking.
"Did you find anything Jet?" Faye asked. She couldn't help but worry about him. Spike looked over at Jet now worried also.
"I only found out that he was talking to a woman and was led to the back of the bar. What about you guys?" Jet asked as he put his hands in his pockets.
"We didn't find out a thing." Spike said closing his eyes. Faye put her hands behind her head and sighed.
"Well then I guess our only chance is Edward and Kitt." Jet said looking over at the young hacker. "So how's it going Edward?"
"Well...Ed...found him!!" All three bounty hunters looked over at Ed. "Kitt! Edward is uploading the location on your navigational control!"
"Affirmative, location has been confirmed. Now are any of you going with me? Or am I going to have to find him myself?" Everyone nodded to each other and climbed into the DeLorean.
"Alright, drive mode is set to auto pilot. Hang on!" The Kitt sped away with sirens wailing and light flashing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With a loud thwack Gian's head hung low. He was bleeding across the face and his glasses were shattered. The woman walked to him and put her hand on his chin making him look at her.
"Ready to talk? If you do, maybe you and me could go into a little business together" She was moving closer to kiss him. Gian angrily spit in her face. She back away wiping her face with her sleeve.
"Go to hell you no good crook!" Gian yelled with all of his strength. She smiled at him and pulled out a pistol.
"What a waste." She said with a menacing grin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The DeLorean pulled up to a hotel. All of them climbed out to hear three gunshots.
"Damn!" Jet yelled. He looked over at the DeLorean. "Kitt where the hell is he!?"
"I've located him! He's on the fifth floor, in room 582! His life signs are extremely low hurry!" After that the three bounty hunters ran to the hotel leaving Ed and Kitt in the driveway.
"Ed hopes Gian Gian is ok.." She hugged her knees and sat in the passengers seat.
"I hope so too Edward, I hope so too." Kitt said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What do we do with the body?" The man in the suit asked. The woman snickered and shook her head so that her hair waved in the air.
"Dump it somewhere in the desert. Nobody will miss him." Suddenly the door burst opened with Spike, Jet and Faye aiming the guns at the two.
"Gian-!" Faye gasped as she saw the police detective on the floor in a pool of blood.
"Who the hell are you people?!" The woman asked furiously.
"We're his friends!" Spike yelled. The man suddenly ran up to Spike and smacked the gun out of his hand. Spike jumped back and punched the man in the gut. Jet helped by tripping the man wit his leg. He fell down with a loud thud. Faye was looking at the woman angrily with tears in her eyes.
"Why? Why did you do this?! He was only a kid!!" She screamed. The woman smiled again.
"He was a cop. I thought out of all types of people you'd hate cops, Faye." She gasped that the woman knew her name. But she shook it off and gave a strong punch right in her face. "Bitch!!" She fell against the wall knocked out. She then rushed over to Gian. His eyes were closed and he was hardly breathing. His white shirt was drenched in blood. Along with his trench coat. Jet quickly pulled out his walkie talkie.
"Edward get the police here and get an ambulance while your at it! Hurry!" Jet looked down at Faye and Gian.
"Gian..? Can you hear me..?" Gian opened his eyes slowly and smiled.
"Oh there you are...how are ya..?" She smiled through her tears and held his head on her lap.
"I-I'm okay...Gian...please don't die.." Gian lifted his hand weakly and put it on Faye's cheek.
"Hey...don't worry about me...just take care.." Jet knelt down next to Gian.
"Hey don't you die on us. You've still got a chance." Jet tried to comfort him. Gian shook his head and laughed a little.
"Naw Jet, there's still a greater chance I'm a goner. All my life I've lived being optimistic, but the truth looms over ya eventually. I may survive...I may not...but if I don't..I wanna tell you guys that it's been great working with you all.." He breathed in a little and smiled at everyone. "Faye...it was nice working with you..I.." Gian's hand fell from Faye's cheek down to the floor. His eyes closed and exhaled one last time before he topped moving.
"Gian? Gian!?" Jet pounded the floor. "Damn it!!" Spike leaned against wall and sighed. He looked at the body and shook his head sadly.
"Gian!! Don't you dare die! Gian!!" Faye smacked him in the face hoping she'd hear an owchies or anything but she heard nothing. She smacked him again hoping she'd hear something but heard nothing again. She started to cry. She hugged his head tightly as she did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The doctor walked up to the three bounty hunters who sat in the waiting room.
"Did he make it..?" Faye asked. The doctor smiled and nodded. Faye sighed in relief and leaned back in her seat. Jet just had a big grin on his face along with Spike.
"Yaaay!!! Gian Gian!!" Ed bounced around. "Gian Gian is ok Kitt!" She said into her wrist communicator.
"Now that's a relief." Kitt said also feeling more happy.
"In a while you can all go in and visit- hey!!" Before the doctor could finish Faye ran to the room where Gian was in. "You have to wait!" The doctor yelled after her.
"It's no use doc, those two have a weird connection." Spike said as he walked to Gian's room.
"Don't worry I'll make sure we're not there too long." Jet assured the doctor and followed Spike. Edward ran by the doctor only giggling. Faye opened the door to the room. Gian was laying down in the bed breathing normally now. She had to admit, he looked funny in the hospital gown. She walked over to his bed and sat down in the chair next to him. She smiled as looked at his face.
"I don't know if you can hear me or now but...I'm glad your ok.." Faye closed her eyes and sighed.
"Well gee...th-thanks." Faye opened her eyes to see Gian smiling at her. She smiled a bit. "You know for a while back there...I thought I wasn't gonna make it." Faye looked out the window and then to Gian.
"You know, you never got to finish what you were going to say back there. What were you going to say?" Gian blushed and looked away from her.
"I-err nothin'!" Faye frowned and gave him a scolding look.
"Hey come on, you can tell me!" Faye said. Gian sighed and looked up at her.
"Fine...I don't know if your gonna like it though.." Faye nodded and obviously showed that she was all ears. Gian took a deep breathe. "I was going to say that I...I...I mean uhh I guess I...I mean I.." Faye gulped when she realized what he was about to say. Well maybe it was something else but you never know. "Faye I-" Just as if on cue Edward burst into the room and right on top of Gian.
"YEEOWCH!!!!" Gian cried. He looked at Ed still blushing. She looked at him and tilted her head slightly.
"Are you sick Gian Gian?" Gian waved his arms around looking like a little doll.
"N-no!" Faye laughed at Gian's attempt to cover his blushing.
"So did lover boy confess?" Spike asked. Faye turned around blushing to see Spike snickering. "What? Isn't it the perfect setting? The man desperately in love with the woman. He gets wounded and now must finish his confession of love to the woman who was by his side from the beginning." Faye blushed and looked at Spike angrily.
"Shut up Spike!" Suddenly a coffee pot hit Spike in the head sending him to the floor with swirly eyes. Jet walked over to where Spike was laying and shook his head.
"He never knows when to shut up." Jet then walked over to where Gian was. Ed was sitting on his lap stretching his face. "Come on Edward, leave the guy along. He's been shot after all." Ed hopped off of Gian and danced next to Spike who was still laying on the floor. "So how are you doing?" Jet asked sitting on one end of the bed.
"I'm doing better than last night, that's for sure. But, whatever happened to-"
"Jessica Scarlet? Yeah, she was the woman that almost killed you. She and her partner are serving life in prison." Jet said gladly.
"Visiting hours are over." The doctor said from the door.
"Take care. We'll be back to pick you up in the morning." Jet said before getting up and walking to the door.
"Yeah what he said." Spike said with a smile joining Jet at the door.
"Get better Gian Gian!!" Ed exclaimed as she ran to join the two bounty hunters. Faye remained sitting next to Gian.
"Well...you better get well now okay?" Faye asked. She got up to joint he others when Gian grabbed her hand.
"Faye?" Faye turned to him.
"Yes?" Gian squeezed her hand and smiled.
"Thanks...for being there." Faye smiled at him. She held two fingers to her face and kissed them. She then tapped those fingers on his cheek.
"And thank you for not dying.." She squeezed his hand back and walked over to the group so they could go home.
"So was that a farewell kiss to your boyfriend or what?" Spike asked snickering. The only thing he got out of that was a bonk on the head by Faye.
"Ahh Spike, you never learn do you?"
Gian stared at the ceiling and sighed. He touched his cheek where Faye's fingers had just been.
"How are you Gian?" Gian looked around to see who was talking but then recognized the voice. He lifted his wrist communicator to his face.
"Great Kitt, thanks for asking. But aren't you going to take the guys home?" Gian asked.
"That's what I asked them but they told me to stay here with you." Gian sighed and smiled.
"Those guys.."
"I hear you worked your charm with Ms. Valentine." Gian blushed and glared at his wrist communicator.
"Shaddap Kitt I didn't work nothin'!" He laid back and huffed.
"Whatever you say Gian."

"Did he make it..?" Faye asked. The doctor smiled and nodded. Faye sighed in relief and leaned back in her seat. Jet just had a big grin on his face along with Spike.
"Yaaay!!! Gian Gian!!" Ed bounced around. "Gian Gian is ok Kitt!" She said into her wrist communicator.
"Now that's a relief." Kitt said also feeling more happy.
"In a while you can all go in and visit- hey!!" Before the doctor could finish Faye ran to the room where Gian was in. "You have to wait!" The doctor yelled after her.
"It's no use doc, those two have a weird connection." Spike said as he walked to Gian's room.
"Don't worry I'll make sure we're not there too long." Jet assured the doctor and followed Spike. Edward ran by the doctor only giggling. Faye opened the door to the room. Gian was laying down in the bed breathing normally now. She had to admit, he looked funny in the hospital gown. She walked over to his bed and sat down in the chair next to him. She smiled as looked at his face.
"I don't know if you can hear me or now but...I'm glad your ok.." Faye closed her eyes and sighed.
"Well gee...th-thanks." Faye opened her eyes to see Gian smiling at her. She smiled a bit. "You know for a while back there...I thought I wasn't gonna make it." Faye looked out the window and then to Gian.
"You know, you never got to finish what you were going to say back there. What were you going to say?" Gian blushed and looked away from her.
"I-err nothin'!" Faye frowned and gave him a scolding look.
"Hey come on, you can tell me!" Faye said. Gian sighed and looked up at her.
"Fine...I don't know if your gonna like it though.." Faye nodded and obviously showed that she was all ears. Gian took a deep breathe. "I was going to say that I...I...I mean uhh I guess I...I mean I.." Faye gulped when she realized what he was about to say. Well maybe it was something else but you never know. "Faye I-" Just as if on cue Edward burst into the room and right on top of Gian.
"YEEOWCH!!!!" Gian cried. He looked at Ed still blushing. She looked at him and tilted her head slightly.
"Are you sick Gian Gian?" Gian waved his arms around looking like a little doll.
"N-no!" Faye laughed at Gian's attempt to cover his blushing.
"So did lover boy confess?" Spike asked. Faye turned around blushing to see Spike snickering. "What? Isn't it the perfect setting? The man desperately in love with the woman. He gets wounded and now must finish his confession of love to the woman who was by his side from the beginning." Faye blushed and looked at Spike angrily.
"Shut up Spike!" Suddenly a coffee pot hit Spike in the head sending him to the floor with swirly eyes. Jet walked over to where Spike was laying and shook his head.
"He never knows when to shut up." Jet then walked over to where Gian was. Ed was sitting on his lap stretching his face. "Come on Edward, leave the guy along. He's been shot after all." Ed hopped off of Gian and danced next to Spike who was still laying on the floor. "So how are you doing?" Jet asked sitting on one end of the bed.
"I'm doing better than last night, that's for sure. But, whatever happened to-"
"Jessica Scarlet? Yeah, she was the woman that almost killed you. She and her partner are serving life in prison." Jet said gladly.
"Visiting hours are over." The doctor said from the door.
"Take care. We'll be back to pick you up in the morning." Jet said before getting up and walking to the door.
"Yeah what he said." Spike said with a smile joining Jet at the door.
"Get better Gian Gian!!" Ed exclaimed as she ran to join the two bounty hunters. Faye remained sitting next to Gian.
"Well...you better get well now okay?" Faye asked. She got up to joint he others when Gian grabbed her hand.
"Faye?" Faye turned to him.
"Yes?" Gian squeezed her hand and smiled.
"Thanks...for being there." Faye smiled at him. She held two fingers to her face and kissed them. She then tapped those fingers on his cheek.
"And thank you for not dying.." She squeezed his hand back and walked over to the group so they could go home.
"So was that a farewell kiss to your boyfriend or what?" Spike asked snickering. The only thing he got out of that was a bonk on the head by Faye.
"Ahh Spike, you never learn do you?"
Gian stared at the ceiling and sighed. He touched his cheek where Faye's fingers had just been.
"How are you Gian?" Gian looked around to see who was talking but then recognized the voice. He lifted his wrist communicator to his face.
"Great Kitt, thanks for asking. But aren't you going to take the guys home?" Gian asked.
"That's what I asked them but they told me to stay here with you." Gian sighed and smiled.
"Those guys.."
"I hear you worked your charm with Ms. Valentine." Gian blushed and glared at his wrist communicator.
"Shaddap Kitt I didn't work nothin'!" He laid back and huffed.
"Whatever you say Gian."
