There are certain things about being a bounty hunter. For me, it still
needs a little getting used to. But I seem to manage. The only thing is
that as a bounty hunter, I chase bounties. Now of coarse there ain't
bounties 27/7 so that means there are days where there seems to be nothing
to do. And nothing to do also means no food either. I'm usually in charge
of buying the food. I wasn't really forced or tricked into that position at
all. I just volunteered since it didn't look like anyone else could be
counted on for that type of mission. Anyway, today started like any other
day. The type day which I have mentioned before, was very dull. Which also
lead to a desperation of money thanks to no bounties. I just had a feeling
as I woke up that day. This was gonna be one of those days.

Gian yawned and extended his hand to the table beside his couch that he slept on. He felt around for his glasses. He found them and put them on to see Jet sitting in front of Faye. He blinked and rubbed his eyes not really believing his eyes for a second. He then sighed as he noticed what was going on. Faye tossed two dice in the cup and slammed it on the table after shaking it a bit. She was at it again.
"So?" Faye asked as she held her hand over a cup of some kind.
"Even!" Jet said with his arms folded. He didn't look happy one bit.
"Are you sure about that?" Faye asked with a small smirk. Jet sweated a bit and shook his head.
"No! I mean odd!" Jet said. He knew he'd be in a jam if he lost again. Gian couldn't believe this he sat back on the couch to see what was going to happen next. Faye lifted the cup with her eyes closed.
"Snake eyes. Sorry, you lose." She said simply. Gian groaned and exited the room not wanting to know what was going to happen next. He yawned loudly as he walked over to a suitcase in a corner. He pulled out a clean white shirt, a black tie and black pants. He closed the suitcase and stood up to make his way to the bathroom when a pair of boxers hit his face. He grabbed it and looked at it with a few blinks. It was Jet's. *~~~~* Gian walked back into the living room to see Faye counting her newly acquired items. He walked over to where she was and smiled a bit, really feeling sorry for Jet.
"Looks like lady luck wasn't kind to him this time eh?" The officer asked her. Faye looked at him and smiled victoriously.
"It seems that way."
Gian shook his head with a smile and moved his foot next to her leg to kick a metal bracelet which hung around it At the same time the dice moved. "Yup, and you must be lady luck." Faye didn't even let a worried look.
"All is fair in the game of gambling boy." She said going back to her item count. He sighed and shrugged and was about to check on Kitt when suddenly an alarm went off on the ship. Red lights all over the ship started to flash on and off slowly. Spike had just walked in when he noticed it too. The three of them suddenly heard a yell which sounded like Jet's voice. Spike, Faye and Gian rant of the source of the yell to find Jet on the ground rubbing the back of his neck.
"Jet! What happened??" Gian asked as he kneeled next to him.
"Something bit me!" Jet said irritably. Ein had walked in wondering what was going in when suddenly it started growling at something. Everyone looked at the direction it was looking at. Suddenly they saw a mouse scurry away. Spike sighed and shook his head turning away to walk out of the room. Faye laughed a bit.
"What the-? Aw come on guys! You have to believe me!" Jet angrily pointed to the back of his neck. "Take a look at this mark! This does NOT look like a rat bite!" Spike shrugged and walked away. Faye shrugged with a smile and walked away also. Gian sighed and picked up Ein who was still growling at the mouse.
"Gian you believe me don't you??" Jet asked getting up. Gian sighed heavily, petting Ein who seemed to calm down.
"Jet, your not that type who makes up stuff. I believe ya." The officer said with a smile.
Gian sighed while walking through the hallways. He thought for a long while, he didn't know what could ever give Jet a bite so nasty. And if there was such a creature, how could it be on board? Gian walked into hanger where Kitt was.
"Kitt, scan for anything other than the crew members on board."
"Right away Gian." Kitt said immediately. The DeLorean's scanner light started to light from left to right. The officer sighed and pushed up on his glasses. He somehow hoped Jet was wrong.
"An unknown organism is indeed onboard the Bebop. It's origin is unknown and it's moving about in the ship." Gian groaned and shook his head.
"Can you pinpoint the location?" Gian asked hopefully.
"I'm sorry Gian, something strange won't let me pinpoint it's exact location." Kitt said. Gian nodded and padded the DeLorean's hood.
"Ok, thanks anyway Kitt." Gian said. He made his way back into the living room. He blinked when he saw Jet on his couch, laying down. Spike was typing away on a small computer. Faye leaned against the wall not really caring.
"Hey what happened?" Gian asked as he walked over to Spike.
"That thing that bit Jet wasn't a mouse after all. Or if it is, it infected him." Spike explained without looking up.
"Oh that's peachy." Gian said grimly. Faye shook her head.
"Well if it's not contagious I feel ok." She then walked away.
"Hey! Faye be careful! That thing might still be out there." Spike yelled after her. He got no reply and simply cursed under his breathe.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this..?" Gian said worriedly. Edward suddenly jumped on Gian's back and hung on. Gian turned his head to be face to face to her.
"A straaaange being from another world!" Edward said spookily. Gian chuckled a bit.
"Heh, with everything I've seen I wouldn't be surprised."
Gian sat on the floor and looked at Jet who was laying on his couch.
'What the heck could this thing be? This is REALLY creeping me out..' The officer thought to himself. He looked up at Spike and was about to ask him something, when suddenly Faye stumbled into the room. She wore a towel and was panting. She had a panicked look on her face. Spike looked up from his research as so did Gian.
"Spike? Remember that virus thing that got Jet?" Faye asked. Spike nodded. "Is it possible that this virus can kill the person?" Spike turned his seat around to face her.
"Well it's very possible. Eventually that virus can really mess up the way your body works and kill you." Spike explained.
"Ohh noo!" Faye exclaimed. She shook her head and leaned against the wall. "This can't happen! I'm so young! There are so many things I haven't done!" She sobbed. Spike looked over at Gian with a confused look.
"What's she talking about?" He asked. Gian shrugged and then looked over at Faye.
"Faye!" Gian exclaimed as he ran over to her. She had slid all the way down to the floor. And was now slumping and almost motionless. Spike sighed and shook his head.
"Damn.."
Faye laid across from where Jet was laying. Two bounty hunters, two couches. 4 crew members left. And the origin of the mysterious disease. Edward bounced around with goggles.
"Ooooo! Wow! Hahaha!" She giggled as she looked through the goggles.
"Okay Edward, those things will help ya spot anything out of the ordinary." Gian explained. Spike nodded and turned back to his small computer.
"Right, so go out there and try to find that thing. But be careful." Spike said. With another giggle Edward jumped away. Gian tapped Spike on the back.
"You keep a lookout here. I'll be in the DeLorean." Gian said. He then tossed Spike a walkie talkie. "Contact me using this if you need me."
*~~~~~~~*
Gian sat in the DeLorean humming a bit while laying back onto the seat. "G- Gian! Get over here!....fast!..." Gian scrambled over to the living room. He saw Spike and Ein on the floor. Soon he laid Spike on the floor and Ein next to him. He covered them both with a blanket. Spike coughed and pulled Gian closer by his tie. Gian squirmed coughing a bit himself.
"Gian...there last storge room...storage room...A...5..." After that Spike seemed to slip out into a deep sleep. Gian gulped and wondered if he would ever make it out of this alive. He felt Spike's grip loosen. Gian put Spike's arm to himself and stood up. He took off his trench coat and straightened his hat. He pulled out a medium sized brown box from under his couch. He pulled out a gun shoulder holster and strapped it on. He put his magnum in and pulled out his wrist communicator to his mouth.
"Alright Kitt, log into the ship's main computer and activate the Red Alert program!" Gian said while starting to make his way to storage room A5. When he reached there he opened the door and entered. Red lights around the ship flashed on and off, and a claxon alarm was wailing. He walked into the storage room and looked around. He then spotted something out of the ordinary. He spotted a refrigerator. He scratched his head and walked over to it. He opened it not knowing what he was going to see. Before he knew it, he found himself shutting the door quickly. He panted for air whatever was in there...must have been the origin of the strange creature getting everyone.
*~~~~~~~*
Gian pushed the refrigerator through a corridor. There was a huge air locked door at the end.
"Kitt, can ya deactivate the gravity?" Gian asked into his communicator.
"Right away Gian." Kitt said. Almost as if on cue, Gian felt as light as a feather. He grunted as he started to push the now light refrigerator to the air locked door. Suddenly he felt something bite him. He grabbed his arm in pain as he saw a blue jelly-like creature slide away. He cursed his luck and kept pushing. Suddenly he saw the door opening. He gasped and thought it was the end. He then quickly took a deep breathe of air and pulled a nearby lever. The air locked door open, starting to suck everything out. The refrigerator flew out. Gian pushed the lever back. He let go feeling himself getting sucked out. But just in the nick of time the door closed as Gian's body hit against it. Gian groaned. "Well that was fun.."
*~~~~~~~*
The sliding creature was sliding along the hallway. It then was grabbed by a small hand.
"Nyum nyum..aww no more pudding.soo full.." Edward said as she gobbled up the creature. She then turned around while floating in the air with a small yawn and went back to sleep.
See you next time Space Cowboy...
