A/n: [this is probably going to be long-ish since I'm in a talkative mood,
which btw doesn't happen often]. Okay so I know last chapter was a little
OOC but hey I figure if all that bad stuff happened to Faye she'd be a
little upset. Everything can't be held in all the time, stuff tends to
spill out. But yeah, and plus I know Spike's Mr. "I don't care about
anything" yadda yadda. But if he did actually care about Faye he'd want to
comfort her. Replace Faye with Julia and see how out of character he is.
Yeah uh huh.
Yay, reviews are nice. But no reviews are okay too.
Oh and sorry for the slight Ed abuse in this chapter. I love Ed but bad guys will be bad guys. And I'm going to try and make this a long-ish chapter since I just realized how short my chapters usually are. Sorry. I'm one of those people who hates short chapters and I myself do that. Grr. All right maybe you guys understood all that mess up there, I don't know. Doesn't matter I'm just going to keep writing. Btw wolf's rain is awesome.
Same disclaimers apply. Me no own de Cowboy Bebop-ity. All right?

Chapter 8 - Brutal
"You wont hurt Faye-Faye will you?" Ed asked sounding exhausted as she slumped against the wall.
The man in black chuckled to himself. "Oh, of course not my dear. We just want to ask her some questions. That's all."
"Why does Ed not believe you?" She asked him
"I don't know. But it looks like you don't have much of a choice now do you?"
Ed sighed. "These ropey-thingies are hurting Ed's arms! Why wont you let Ed and Jet go?"
"Because we need Faye, and we know you know where she is. Once you tell us we'll let you and your friend go."
Ed smiled as she thought, It doesn't matter if I tell them where Faye Faye is because where ever she is, Spike is, and he'll kick all their butts! "Well.Edward's not so sure."
"Quit stalling kid! Just tell us where she is!" He roared kicking Ed violently in the side.
She whimpered against the wall before saying, "Fine, but Edward needs something first."
//-- + --\\
Faye's emerald eyes opened to see nothing but light yellow in front of her. She shut her eyes again, not really caring or remembering what the warm presence was next to her. The cowgirl actually snuggled in closer to the warmth before realizing she knew who was in her bed. Her head shot back to get a better view of her bedmate, "Oh shit." she said eyes growing wide. Spike slept quietly next to her. A look of complete calm had washed over his face; Faye's eyes darted all over him looking for any sign that he was awake. Finding none she managed to untangle herself from him and exit her bedroom.
"What sort of sick, twisted game is Spike playing now?" she said out loud. She pushed one slender hand back through her violet tresses. "I don't understand." Staring at the floor she tried hard to think of what to do next. Her mind raced, should I wake him up? What do I do once he is awake? Call him a lunkhead? What do I say? Tell him he's a jerk? Do I tell him to leave or do I just sit there? What? "I have to get out of here," she decided finally. Still fighting with herself she took one step down the hallway before bumping into a gun.

"Sir we have acquired the target."
"Good. Any casualties?"
"No sir. It was remarkably easy to take this one down."
"Hmm. No one else interfered?"
"No sir. She put up a good fight but with no weapon she was no match for us."
"Good then. I trust you will be arriving shortly?"
"Yes, sir. We're practically at base as we speak."
--
Spike's eyes opened slowly gazing across Faye's bedroom. He squinted trying to remember where he was. A confused look drifted across his face as he sat up. So, where the hell was Faye? He pushed himself off of the bed. As he neared the door an uneasy feeling began to take over him. Reaching out to open the door he knew something wasn't quite right in the Bebop. His eyes darted around looking for his gun, Faye's gun, anyone's gun. Oddly, he found no weapons. Oh screw it, I don't even need a gun, he thought opening the door. A chill ran down his spine. Somehow he knew Faye wasn't on the ship with him anymore. Someone else had been here, she hadn't merely taken off. How could I have slept through someone abducting her? He thought. 'Well that was the best sleep you have gotten in awhile.' Shut up, I don't want to hear this. I just have to find out where she went, or who took her, or. Spike's head jerked around in the direction of the living room. He furrowed his brow as he heard a slight noise. Walking cautiously down the hallway he peeked around the corner. Stepping out into view he stood bewildered, scratching at the top of his head he peered down at the very beaten and exhausted Ed and Jet.
"What is this.some screwed up 2 for 1 deal?" He asked as he walked over to them.
Neither one even looked at him. They barely looked conscious. He removed Jet's gag first.
"They took her Spike," he said to the floor.
"Who?"
"Faye."
"Yeah I know that Jet, who took Faye?" He untied Jet and set to work on the ties that bound Ed.
Edward looked up at him sadly, "I'm sorry Spike-person. But Edward can fix her mistake!"
"What did you do Ed?" The cowboy asked as he loosened the knot.
"Edward told them where Faye-Faye was and about the Bebop."
"WHAT?!" Spike and Jet said in unison. "Ed? How could you?!"
"Ed thought the lunkhead would protect her! They told me they wouldn't hurt her."
Spike hung his head. "They were obviously lying.."
"Don't worry Ed-Ed knows how to get all their data. So it will be easy to find out where they have taken Faye Fayeeeeee and you can go get her back."
Spike looked at Ed skeptically but didn't ask any questions. Ed got up and bounced towards the kitchen despite the pain that her body had to have been going through. Apparently her hunger was more important.
-- A/N: [this may get a little gross possibly offensive I suppose. I am a sick and twisted individual after all. Hrmm. Lots of Faye abuse.sorry.]
--
Hours later.
Faye's eyes were open but she couldn't really see anything. Her head pounded when she tried to think. Blood oozed from her head, wrists, and chest. She still wore Spike's yellow dress shirt but it was now so heavily soaked with blood and sweat that it no longer smelled of him. Faye tried to shift her weight because of the uncomfortable position she was in, but a large amount of pain shot through her body. She cried out, but no one heard her. Her screams only bounced off the walls causing her head to hurt more. Blood trickled down her arms from the heavy chains that bound her wrists to the wall. She lifted up her heavy head; I should have just stayed in bed today. Why didn't I stay in bed? 'Because you were scared of what would happen, Jake screwed you up pretty bad beautiful'. Faye closed her eyes, when they finally opened Spike stood in front of her, but she could barely make him out. Calm as ever he rose one slim finger to his lips and shushed her. "You need to rest now Faye. Rest." He said dreamily, after a few seconds everything went black.
"Sir, I thought the whole point of this mission was to acquire the target and destroy her."
"Well yes, but since I learned from Radical Edward that Miss Faye was also in the company of Spike Spiegel."
"Spike.Spiegel?" The other man interrupted
"Yes. Spike," he said annoyed. "Now that I know they were comrades and probably lovers I am sure that he will come for her. And when he does I will have my revenge on him as well." The man in black said smiling.
"Hmm. Yes sir. Are you sure that he will come for her though?" The other man said almost sadly.
"Yes, because right now as we speak Radical Edward is combing our database looking for our location. When they find it I know that shortly after Mr. Spiegel will arrive."
"Oh."
--
"Come on Ed! Faye could be dead already!" Spike shouted finally speaking to the redhead.
"Uno momento Spike person! Edward is trying!"
Spike growled from his position on the couch. The ashtray in front of him was filled to the brink with buds and he continued to smoke as he growled at her.
"There! Edward found it!" The hacker yelled enthusiastically.
"It's about friggin time Ed," Spike said flatly before raising himself from the couch.
