Hey everyone, I'm back. I have been writing every day and am very happy to say that I have got two chapters to post . . . I am very dismayed to say that this chapter is just to be nice to the people that HAVE reviewed. Oh well, just to be polite, if you are reading this fic and not reviewing, please do. I would love you so much for that.

Disclaimer: Well I won't scream at you if you don't remember, this time, but I don't own Cowboy Bebop.

*********************************

Spike hung in the middle of the dusty basement looking for a way to get out. He scanned the room again, his fake eye telling him that it was useless. (I'm not sure if it does that but oh well it was just something to add.) His stomach was still bleeding from where he had been stabbed earlier. He cringed as another wave of pain hit him. He looked down to discover that one of the girls dabbing his puncture wound with a wet cloth. "What are you doing?" He asked through clenched teeth, as the pain in his stomach gradually grew worse.

"Boy you really aren't very smart are you? I'm keeping you alive." She said as she wet the cloth again.

"Why?"

She looked at him like he was an idiot, "Because you are our bargaining chip to get Vesputo back."

"Well I have already told you, Faye and Jet don't care enough about me to give up that bounty." He lied.

"We'll see now won't we?" She finished wrapping his stomach and left the room.

Faye urged her Redtail forward as she approached Mars. "Come on you piece of junk! Hold together!" she yelled as she entered the port with so much force, and speed that her ship started to fall apart. She jumped out of her ship and ran full speed down the sidewalk.

She ran past several buildings and ended up in the poor and broken down part of the planet. She ran down several more blocks and stopped breathlessly in front of one of the buildings. She pressed herself up against the wall and carefully walked to the back.

*****Spike saw a light flash against the wall in front of him, he turned around to see a very small window near the ceiling partially hidden by boxes. He totally forgot about his situation and tried to go to the window. (A/N: stupid Spike) He knew that his lanky body would be able to fit through it with ease. He tried to separate his feet and walk forward and he fell forward. The only thing that kept him from hitting his face on the floor was the chain holding his arms to the ceiling.

He let out a slight scream of pain as the chains pulled at his wrists causing his stomach to rip from the wound. He managed to straighten himself and he looked down, his crimson blood was seeping through the fresh bandaged and running down onto the floor.

He pulled at his chain again to try to get out when he heard a sound behind him. He turned around slowly, being careful of his stomach. He looked toward the stairs and coming down them was the girl that had stabbed him. "Well now, how are we feeling today?"

Spike just glared at the young girl. "Just great."

"Well that's wonderful Mr. Spiegel. Are your accommodations suiting you well?" she giggled as she noticed the blood coming from his stomach.

"Just great." He replied, still glaring at her.

"I'm so glad. Oh what's that?" She walked over to the little window, "Now how did that get open?" she closed the window and looked around the room.

She walked around checking different places and checked his chains. Taking her cell phone out of her pocket, she started to dial and the next thing he knew she was on the floor in front of him.

He looked from her to where she was standing earlier and saw standing there (A/N: I was going to cut you off here but I decided that since I haven't updated in a wile I would be nice) "Faye, thank God!" He paused when he heard himself, "It took you long enough."

"Yeah well I'm no good at this rescuing thing. It's my job to get captured and then your job to do the rescuing. Not the other way around." She looked down at his stomach, "Oh my God Spike! I can't believe that they did this to you! Come on, we have to get you out of here." She grabbed hold of his wrists. "Now, just relax, I'm going to have to try to get you down." She twisted his wrists and as she pulled them out of the cuffs, they started to bleed. "Oh, I'm sorry Spike, I guess that since your hands are bigger than mine it won't work as well."

"Brilliant deduction. Don't worry about it, just get me out of here!"

"Alright, this is going to hurt." She put all of her weight on his wrists (A/N: which isn't much) and managed to yank them out. He almost screamed with Faye's reflexes she covered his mouth. He fell froward, his legs not able to take the strain. Faye did her best to support him but she strained under his weight.

He sat down on the ground as Faye picked at the chain on his feet with a hairpin. "And you couldn't use that earlier because . . ." Spike asked holding his stomach.

"Your too tall. I could only reach your wrists, not the chain." She said as she concentrated on picking the locks. She had them picked in less ten a minuet and was helping Spike to stand up, letting him use her as a human crutch. She looked up at the window that she had come through and then looked at Spike, "I don't suppose that you could get through that window, I mean, you look pretty beat up . . ." She faded off.

"Faye, what in our time working together makes you think that I can't do anything that I want to?"

"Well, I don't know, maybe because your stomach and hands are bleeding terribly and you can bearly stand you're wobbling so much, much less climb up a wall and out a window."

"Only minor problems Faye."

She held out her gun. "Spike, hold this like you're going to fire it."

He grabbed it from her grasped the handle firmly only to drop it with a loud clatter. "Arghhh!" He screamed shaking his hand, "Alright Faye, you win, now what do you propose we do?"

"I don't know! I have already told you! You're the rescuer, not me!"

He laughed, "Yeah, I guess you're right. So where is your Redtail?"

"In the harbor a couple of blocks from here."

"Crap! That won't end well, I have no clue where mine is! Ok this is what we have to do. We have to get out of here the hard way. Go upstairs.
