Session 5: That's My Story and I'm Sticking to it.
That night at dinner the crew sat around the table, but for the first half an hour no one said a word.
"Hey, can you spare some food? I'm really starving."
Russe had suddenly appeared in the doorway. Spike rushed over to help him to the table. Russe helped himself to some bean sprouts and began to eat. "Spike, who is your friend? He's kind of cute," whispered Faye. Spike cast her a sidelong glance. "Everyone this is Russe, Russe that's Jet, that's Faye, the insane girl pouring milk in her food is Ed, and the dog is Ein." Russe nodded to every one of them, and fed the dog some of his food. "So, what the hell is this all about Spike? This isn't a hospital. Bandages cost money you know." "Let me explain, its all my fault anyways," said Russe. He turned to Spike, " You wanted to know what this was all about. Well, let me tell you. I used to work as an assassin for a syndicate on Ganymede. Emily was the head's daughter, promised to my partner Tsune. For a while I jus knew her. I mean I was attracted,, but not in love. Then about three months after they were engaged, something went wrong and they found out about her and Tsune's ties to the syndicate. She came to spend the night with me while Tsune took out the offenders. I'm not sure how it happened, but we kissed, and it all went from there. Tsune found out about our secret relationship and sent assassins after me. But I was too good for them, so he started to send them after Emily. Tsune's twin brother Tsure helped cover our escape. He hated the head, and hated Tsune because he was the head's favorite. We came here to Mars, thinking we would be safe, but under severe torture one of Tsure sub-ordinates revealed our location and they've been sending hit teams after us ever since. They even put out a bounty on my head they're so desperate." Faye just sat there filing her nails. Jet was listening, but still eating. Ed wasn't even at the table anymore; she had wandered off ages ago with Ein. Spike was leaned over the table, food falling off his chopsticks as he stared mouth slightly agape at Russe. Russe turned and looked at him with a slightly puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?" asked Russe. "Uh.nothing. Nothing. Come on, you need to rest." Spike helped Russe get back to his room and onto his bed, and then went back into the eating area. Everyone stared at him as he stood in the doorframe, but he was looking at the floor.
"We're not turning him in."
"What!" shrieked Faye, as she slammed down her file "I can't believe you, you have him here and he's injured. Come on! What's wrong with you?" "Now Faye, this was Spike catch, not yours. He can do whatever he wants with I," said Jet. Faye huffed, then stormed out of the room. Jet just looked at Spike; he seemed to be giving a lot of looks today. "You sure you want to give this one up?" Spike didn't say anything though. He just kept leaning on the doorframe, looking at the floor.
Yea, I'm sure.
