Chapter five Julia's Journey and Faye's fate
"Hm hm hm hm hm" hummed Spike on his way back to Bebop
::this really makes me mad not only could we no get a lead on the bounty, but most likely Faye is going to blast me for leaving her at Bebop while they tried to track the bounty down. She's going to say something smart like 'ha you cant to anything right I bet if I was down there I would have got him hours ago':: then he remembered
"Oh yeah, Faye's sick." He whispered to himself
::She didn't look that well when we left, I hope she's better. If she isn't I'll get even more grief because he left her alone when she was sick.::
Spike sighed "There is no way out of it I'm gonna get it when I get back"
He lit up another cigarette and drove towards the nearing ship.
He landed the Swordfish II extra carefully in hopes to not to wake her up in the faint chance she was asleep. He noticed that the Red tail was still in the hangar; that was good since now he knew she didn't leave with all the money like the last time.
He walked into Bebop immediately noticing something wasn't quite right.
"Shit, what in the hell happened here?" he asked himself
He looked around to see that in the corridor was a mess of vomit and blood. His eyes glanced up from the wet floor to see a blood smear on the wall
::I know blood stains better than anyone and that is from a head wound. He measured and realized that is about where Faye's head would be off the ground.::
His mind began to race frantically he ran into the main room to see things were ransacked and a barely smoldering cigarette, brand new when it was dropped, on the floor.
::If anything happened to Faye I'll…I'll::
"Faye…We're back….sorry we started the bounty without you….FAYE!" he shouted through the darkness his heart pounded as he ran down the Bebop corridors.
::Oh no, damn if only we didn't leave her here alone:: He searched her room worriedly and found no clues, then he went into the bathroom, and looked at the mirror on it, it read in crude red finger paints,
You've probably guessed by now that poor little Faye is
no longer there. Serves you right leaving a defenseless
lady all by her lonesome, shame on you. There is one
thing you probably not guessed though, I not only
have one girl, but two. The other goes by the name
Julia. You, however, can only choose one lady to
return to Bebop with you the other will be executed,
it's your choice Spike. You will find them on the city
in the city Soderta, on dock 24. Well Spike, better move fast,
patience is one virtue Vicious has no time for.
Instantly, all his emotions towards Faye or anything else was taken over by his obsession for Julia. Yes, you could call it an obssession, he pined for her like a rainbow after a storm. The way her golden-silk hair flowed like water down her back, and shoulders was entrancing. Her somber, yet beautiful smile, made any room go silent. He had to get to her, now.
::Vicious will pay, he will pay with his life this time for what he did. He captured his beloved and holding her hostage. How dare he?::
"Vicious, it's time you will suffer the ultimate punishment, death" Spike yelled making the ship vibrate
Driven by rage and vengeance he sprinted down into the Swordfish II in search for Vicious' hideout in the docks.
"This starts a new chapter in my life, Julia's Journey, will be a happy ending unlike this sad pathetic life I lead now. I, a bounty hunter, what a life I lead, I'm stuck in a small ship with an old burned out cop, a cheating, gambling slut, and until recently a retarded, teenage girl. We're broke, and I sleep on a lumpy old yellow couch. Julia, we will be together soon, don't you worry, I'll rescue you and set things right."
The Swordfish II zoomed out of bebop at maximum speed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"I'm fed up with this, I'm going back." Jet mumbled to himself as he puffed on his cigarette and boarded the hammerhead to take off to Bebop
"I bet Faye and Spike are already tearing the place down." He chuckled to himself
::I hope Faye is over her food poisoning I really don't want to clean it up anymore. besides, she really didn't look that good.::
He neared Bebop and was immediately confused when only the Red Tail was in the hangar
"Wha?" ::Maybe Spike found a lead on the Bounty …why would he not tell me though?::
"Oh no what happened here?" Jet gasped
He looked into the dark desolate ship; it was ransacked and bloody. He found the blood smear on the wall and studied it closely."
::this is defiantly not good, this blood on the wall and on the floor is Faye's I bet::
"Spike, Faye, are you two here?" Jet called into the dark
Millions of different possibilities raced through his head as he ran into the bathroom and read the crudely painted message.
"Oh god Vicious has Faye and Julia?" his jaw dropped an inch and thought how they were to get out of this one
"No matter how long Faye's been with Bebop, Spike will choose Julia over her." Jet concluded, troubled.
"This is bad, if I don't do something Faye will be executed, but what is there to do?" Jet gritted his teeth in contemplation
He punched the mirror with robotic arm and the mirror shattered.
"When I'm through with you Vicious, you'll be in as many pieces as this mirror!"
:: If I'm going to rescue Faye, and I probably will need to rescue Spike too, from Vicious of all people I'll need an extra gun::
He searched the ship and finally found Faye's Glock under her pillow. He stared at the gun handling it smoothly and then put it in his left breast pocket and lit a cigarette from Faye's cigarette box and left Bebop searing space on his way back to Soderta only this time there is more at stake than a bounty; Faye's fate is on the line.
He leapt in the Hammerhead and left in pursue of Spike and the future of Bebop.
Onward Space warriors...
