One is the Loneliest Number
Chapter 9
Jail Break
"I hate this planet. I hate these people. I hate the heat. And I ESPECIALLY hate the dust!" Spike yelled as he threw open the door to Kat and Vash's cell.
They sat there wondering what had just happened. "Did you just shoot the sheriff?" Kat asked stunned.
"No," Spike scoffed, "The bastard shot at me and I knocked him out."
"Are you here to save us?" Kat asked hopefully as she watched Spike look for the keys to their cell.
"What are you nuts!? I'm here to collect the bounty my self. Now are you coming peacefully or do I have to shoot you?" Spike asked as he found the keys and unlocked the cell.
They agreed to go without a fight and Kat huffed as Spike tied her up. "I'm not the one with a bounty on my head you know," she growled to Spike as she flexed her hand knowing that she'd have a burn there later.
"That doesn't mean you won't cause me trouble," he said simply.
Spike tied Vash then led them out side to where the Bebop was landed. Kat wondered how the heck they had managed to land it without tearing apart the buildings surrounding it. Spike directed them to the entrance and into the large living space at the heart of the ship. The rest of the Bebop came to investigate when they noticed Spike had returned.
"You my friend," Fea said to Vash, "Are going to make me rich!"
"Boy are you selfish Fea!" Kat huffed.
"You know my name?" the girl asked.
"Fea Valentine. Cryogenically frozen after the accident," Kat proved that she knew more about the girl in front of her then Fea knew herself.
"What else do you know about me? What accident?" Fea asked trying to keep her cool.
Ed bounded in and spotted Vash, "It's Stampede man!"
Vash blinked in confusion and stopped drooling over Fea. Kat was blushing red from anger but since her arms were tied up she couldn't hit Vash over the head. Jet complimented Spike on his capture and was mildly surprised that the outlaw hadn't put up a fight, "What if this guy isn't him?"
"Trust me, with all the trouble this guy gets into, it's definitely him," Spike answered.
Jet shrugged and wandered off to plot the course to Venus, where they could collect their bounty. Fea and Spike wandered off to find something else to do but Ed stayed behind to inspect the two new comers, "Ed welcomes you to the Bebop!"
Ein barked and Kat noticed that her cat had followed them and was now hissing at Ein.
Ed untied Kat, "Spike person won't like Ed person for doing this but Ed person knows that you are a good person."
Kat looked to Vash for help but he just shrugged. "Would it be ok if I untied my friend?" Kat asked Ed.
"You want to untie spiky haired person?" Ed asked, "Fine with Ed!"
"Thanks Ed!" Kat said happily as she untied Vash.
He rubbed the wrist of his real hand and smiled to Kat, "Thanks. Do you think they have any doughnuts or beer?"
"Beer yes, doughnuts no," Kat said.
Vash pouted, "How could they not have doughnuts?!"
Ed studied Kat, "I know person person!"
Kat gave Ed a strange look, "What?" E
d typed at her computer then stuck it on top of her head and pointed to the middle of the screen, "Kat person!"
Kat held Ed's head to stop her from moving, "It's my bio but all it says is a little about me."
Ed took her computer off her head and clicked around some more, "Ed person plotted a course for earth! Jet person will never know until we get there!"
Kat stared at Ed like she was crazy but ignored her after a few minutes. Kat sat down on the yellow couch and stared up at the ceiling fan.
Vash sat down next to her, "They have beer!"
The outlaw perched himself in the chair and offered Kat a bottle.
She rolled her eyes and closed them for a second. When she opened them Spike was leaning over her glaring. Kat sat up quickly and accidentally hit Spike in the face.
He yelped when his nose began to bleed and glared daggers at her.
Vash grew angry and Kat could tell he wanted to tear him apart. 'I wonder if he's already drunk.'
"Spike person shouldn't treat Ed person's friends bad," Ed scolded.
"Friends?! These people can't be your friends! We need the money from the bounty!" Spike said furiously.
Spike looked up at Vash and cringed for a second under the glare he was receiving. Spike scoffed and yelled, "Fine! Be that way!"
Kat pulled on Vash's hair to make him stop glaring. He turned his gaze to Kat and his anger subsided, "Are you ok?"
"Just fine," Kat laughed.
