Chapter 4

Faye flew her ship over the planet of Gunsmoke. She knew that is where The Bebop and its crew were. Spike couldn't resist a reward like that. Faye closed in on the planet, and drifted out of all her thoughts. She flew down into the atmosphere, ready for anything that presented itself. As soon as she was into the atmosphere, a light on her console flickered. She looked down to see it blinking, just before her left engine blew out. Her ship spiraled and flipped until it crashed right outside of the city where Vash was.

Faye awoke on a bed. She had a cloth over her forehead, and a blanket pulled smugly over her. She looked around to see where she was. It looked like an old western style hospital room. Two girls sat in chairs across from her at a small table. A tall man stood by the wall across from her. He had tall, blonde hair, and a long red trench coat. Faye had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't remember where. She had a bad headache and all her joints throbbed, so she cared little about it as of now. The last thing she remembered was the crash. It was all a blank afterwards. Faye laid back and started thinking.

Spike and Knives arrived shortly after Vash had in the town. Spike knew his bounty was around this place, and he was determined to take him, dead or alive. Spike loaded a clip into his gun, before holstering it back into his pocket. He had plenty of looking to do if he was to find this man. Spike looked around, and all though time was of the essence, Spike decided he would head to the bar first. He considered an outlaw like this would probably be in disguise drinking his sorrows away at the bar. Spike walked in. Everyone inside looked up at the outsider. Spike hesitated, remembering his last experience, but walked on in. He sat down next to a tall man in red. He looked oddly familiar, but Spike sat down, back turned to the man.

"I'll take a Ganymede Gin," Spike told the bartender.

He looked at Spike puzzled, and said "Son, we don't have any of those fancy imports, you're the first visitor from outer space in over three years."

"He's right," said the man in red.

Spike looked behind him, than stood up.

"Finding you was easier than I thought, Vash the Stampede," Spike muttered under his breath.
