Chapter four Silhouette in the corridor


As Jet and Spike were on their unproductive adventure, Faye was left alone in the empty Bebop ship. Faye was sleeping restlessly in her bed, occasionally breaking in, and out of cold sweats. Her moans and faint murmurs echoed though the still ship.



::No….no stop….come back…Spike…noooo::



Faye awoke to the still confines of the ship.



"Huh? Uuuugggh!" She perked her head up to hear that no one was onboard. "They left without me, the bastards they could have waited a day." Faye groaned trying to sit up, but ended up falling back into her bed



She rolled over lethargically in her bed, her arms were like cooked spaghetti and her head pounded like a sledgehammer at her. Her stomach, however, felt better, but it was still churning.



"Well at least my stomach feels a bit better." Faye feebly smiled. Five seconds after she said this, however, she vomited in the pail beside her bed.



"I feel awful, and I haven't had a drink it isn't fair." Faye reached for her cigarettes lighting one weakly and placing it in her lips



"They have all the fun, while I stuck here bedridden, sick as a dog, am in agony." Faye moved her weak mussels and with one strong attempt was able to sit up



She made her way, at a snail's pace, to the bathroom where she attempted to wash her face and brush her teeth, putting her cigarette on the sink.



::God I just have to get out of this bed, it reeks of sickness. This is the sickest I've been and I've had food poisoning before and this defiantly is the strongest case I've ever had::



"Men …are ...scum…to leave a sick woman on a ship all alone to go get a bounty without a care in the world." Faye snorted and continued to brush her teeth



After this she felt slightly better, she put the cigarette back in her mouth, and began to move slightly faster now, and she went to go see if there was anything on the TV



"Hmm, just a few more steps, and I'm at the TV. I'm almost there." Faye slumped down on the dingy yellow sofa, as she proceeded to reach for the remote. Then she broke into another cold sweat and lay in the fetal position on the sofa whimpering softly.



thud…..thud…..clang…..thud….



Faye sat up like a groundhog coming out of his hole on Groundhog Day, causing her cigarette to fall from her mouth onto the floor.



::What was that footsteps? Was it Jet or Spike? They've only been gone for two hours, did they get the guy that fast with out me? No, they must be back for lunch or something::


Then she looked down the corridor to see that it wasn't Jet or Spike coming, but in fact someone she had never seen before.



Thud THUD THUD



::Eeeeek he's coming closer:: She hunted frantically for her glock(well as fast as her body let her) but to no avail it wasn't to be found.



"Hello little Faye, I think its time for you to come with me, now." The voice was both sharp and haunting she turned her head to see an ominous silhouette in the corridor of a man with slicked back hair and was pretty tall, but not as tall as Spike and he seemed muscular in the dim light.



"Yeah right like hell you'll take me anywhere!" Faye tried to sound tough, but he knew she was in no condition to protect herself, let alone fight.



"I'm truly sorry your comrades left you alone, like this, it isn't very polite of them especially when you're in this weakened state." The man smirked as he moved into visual range.



"Who are you; you bastard! Do you work for that creep Vicious?" Faye half-gasped and clinched her hands ever so carefully into fists and worked her self to be standing up facing him. Her hair was matted to her forehead with sweat and her jade eyes were heavy and red with exhaustion.



"Why you catch on fast. But who is real creep here? Vicious, or your ever so loyal comrade Spike. Oh wait I'm so sorry he not here to protect you such a shame, don't worry this will only take a moment." He lifted a gun to her forehead, frowning



"The one who will need protecting is you!" Faye kicked him in the groin and started to run to the Red Tail to make a quick escape



"Why you little bitch!" He sprinted after her knocking over several objects and stepping on Ed's poster tearing it. Faye looked behind her as he chased down her down. She tried to run faster, but in her weakened state she couldn't strain herself to do so. She vomited again running down the hall, but she didn't stop. The last thing she remembered was when he took her by the hair and flung her head into the side of the hull leaving a blood smear." Faye collapsed to the ground in a clump.



"Now… for the note." He tranquilized Faye with his gun and went to Ed's finger paints (no one wanted to clean them up…they liked having a little bit of Ed with them). The man began to paint a note on the mirror in the bathroom of Bebop. After he did this he threw Faye in the back of his cruiser and sped away, smirking all the way.



"Sir" the man radioed in



"Yes…do you have the hostage?" the voice was snake like almost in a way and very sharp



"Yeah, It's the girl, I gave her the antidote, and a tranquilizer " the man frowned



"What? Why did you give her the antidote now?" the voice on the other end hissing



"I didn't want her to die, she vomited blood. That poison sample was for a man around Jet's build, anymore time sick she might have died coming over here" the man trying to clean the red finger paint off of his hands.


::talk about red-handed::



"Ok, I see your point, maybe the girl will work as a better hostage than Jet. Did you write the note?" the voice on the other end asked sharply



"The note's all taken care of, they'll know exactly where to go." The man reassured



"Good now hurry up" the other voice cut off



He sped through space like a shooting star, with the helpless Faye in the back



::Spike…where are you?:: Faye thought as her captor drove foreword.


Where art thou space cowboy?

I know more violence *.* … I'm trying my best to keep it epic, but to not gross out everyone at the same time. I hope you like it so far ^^
