Chapter 4: Run for your Double Dollars
Feena smiled as she sat back down next to the tall friendly blond haired man in the red trench coat who had walked into town with them. "I'm back, so, may I ask what your name is?" She asked him in a friendly manner. He smiled and sweat dropped.
"Well, my name is... a secret but I guess I can tell you." He said as he leaned in closer to her. "My name is Vash." He whispered to her.
"Hummn what an interesting name." She said looking to him.
"I'm Feena, Feena Bluesummers." She said as she looked over to the door.
Vash gave a sharp gasp as she gave her last name, Bluesummers that name would haunt him for as long as he would live, was she some sort of relative of his, or was it a joke, or just coincidence? "Bluesummers? You have any relatives named Legato?" He asked with a smile hiding his real feelings.
"Nope not to my knowledge, but then again I never paid much attention to the names of my relatives at those silly family reunions they have." Feena said looking to him. There was something about his smile it seemed so sad, and yet it was almost an apologetic kind of smile as if he had done something wrong. Maybe he had been in a gun fight and accidentally killed this Legato, it didn't matter she didn't know him anyway. Looking over to the door she saw Spike walk in and he casually walked towards her.
"Oh, just wondering." He said still smiling. "So what is a pretty girl, like your self, doing here alone?" He asked her curiously.
"Oh just traveling around." Feena said.
"You seem to be running from someone, you know I could be your body guard free of charge." Vash said looking to her. She blinked, he must have noticed her looking to the door so often that he incidentally made up a cover story for her, a very usable one too.
"Yes, I am... It's very kind of you to offer your services but I'm afraid I'm broke I can't even afford to stay anywhere." Feena said looking away ashamed, she was just going with the story. Spike walked behind her and dropped a napkin into her open hand behind her back.
"I see, I'm sure you can find a job around here to earn some money, and I'll protect you if the guy shows up." Vash said with a broad smile on his face.
"I don't want to see anyone get hurt because of me, and you seem like such a nice guy." Feena said as she looked down to the note. "I probably should get going, I only came in here to see if I could get a quick drink." She said slowly standing up. He got up as well, just as she hoped he would.
"It's OK, I'll be glad to protect you and help you during this hard time. But didn't you come in with a young boy and a tall man?" He asked.
"Yes, we happened to be walking in the same direction so I just followed him." Feena explained to him as she headed out the door slowly, Spike was already outside waiting for them.
"I see, well then from now on I'll be your personal body guard." Vash said politely holding the door open for her. She smiled and walked out the door and then she looked around as if she was making sure someone wasn't there. Vash walked out then up behind her, that was when Spike walked up behind him and slyly put his gun up to the back of Vash's head and pulled the hammer back making that defined clicking sound.
"Well, if it isn't the 60 billion bounty, Vash the Stampede." Spike said with a smile. Vash slowly put his hands up in surrender, he never expected someone to recognize him so soon. "Now I get to turn you in and collect that bounty on your pretty little head." Spike said motioning for him to start walking towards the sheriffs office. Feena backed off looking confused, looking at her Spike seemed to get the message 'playing innocent' in case Vash got free somehow, and if he bumped into Feena again, then they could easily set him up into another trap. Ed walked up behind Feena and watched Spike walk away with Vash.
"Dose this mean Ed can get something to eat?" Ed asked her.
"If he brings him in and gets the money." Feena said patting Ed's head. "Come on we'll meet him back at the ships." She said as she turned and walked out of town with Ed and Ein right behind her. About twenty minutes later Feena started to get worried and called Spike up on the radio. "Spike where the hell are you?" She asked.
" I lost the son of a bitch, someone broke out of the jail and knocked me over in the process, then when I got up the guy was down the road waving at me!" Spike told her. "I completely lost him now... damn it, it's a good thing that you played the fool to him, he didn't have a single clue that you were working on the other hand, but I did catch those escapee's I got what they call double dollars." Spike told her.
"Stop, get food, if we have to eat Jet's version of bell peppers and beef again I might have to hurt him." Feena told him. Spike laughed.
"OK, I'll see what I can get." He told her.
"YAY FOOD! Food. Food. Food!" Ed Chanted happily as she danced around Feena. Ein barked as he followed her around Feena. She sighed and waited for Spike to return in case he needed help with the bags. About 10 minutes later he came ambling along with two bags, one in each arm, thankfully by then Ed had worn her self out and was sitting on the ground in the shade with Ein.
"Bout time, let's get back, I'm ready to call it a day." Feena told him with a yawn.
"Me too..." Ed said with a yawn. Ein barked in agreement.
"Let's go we got plenty of food for tomorrow." Spike said as he put the bags into his ship. Feena nodded and helped and Ed in and then she placed Ein in her lap before she climbed in her self and took off for the Bebop, with Spike already ahead of her.
The next day Feena woke up early and decided to make breakfast for her self but it turned out to be for the whole crew instead. Walking into the living room she steeped over Ed and then over Ein and walked into the small little kitchen. A few moments later a groggy Jet, Spike and Faye all stumbled out of their rooms Ed was already watching Feena cook and Ein was eating from his dog dish.
"Something smells good." Jet said as he stood behind Ed.
"I hope it's good." Feena said looking to him. She was wearing a simple white, long, short sleeved dress her long blue hair was pulled up and pinned to her head to keep it completely out of her way. "It'll be ready in just about ten more minutes." She told them.
"What are you making?" Spike asked with a yawn.
"You'll see when I'm done." Feena told him.
"At least she can cook." Faye said as she walked back into the living room.
Feena gave her a glancing look as she watched her then shook her head and tended to the food she was cooking. After breakfast Feena cleaned up with Jet's help and then she headed down to the planet below to the same town, there it was early morning and people were just starting to get up. The first thing she did was check out the wanted posters on the wall, then she took a walk around town.
"The best place is to check the local bar's ally ways and look threw the drunks then check out the places to stay." She told her self as she headed for the bar.
It felt nice to be out walking in the cool morning, this way she'd be able to adjust to the full days heat. Walking quietly along the ally she noticed one of the men from the wanted poster who was just starting to wake. She gave him a smile and a wink as she turned and walked off slowly, she knew he'd follow her who wouldn't? She was slim beautiful and she was almost exotic looking with her long blue hair and her simple dress. He followed her right up to the sheriffs office where she hit him and he collapsed like a bag of bricks.
"Men your such easy targets." She said putting cuffs on him and dragging him up to the sheriffs. Ten minutes later she walked out with 300,000 double dollars richer, and she walked right into Vash the Stampede, who was running away from someone else who was also after him, and she was promptly knocked over. Being the Gentlemanly type he looked back and saw he had lost them and walked back over to help her up
"Oh sorry pretty lady." He didn't recognize her.
"Well, I didn't think I'd see you again," she said dusting her self off.
"Huh? Feena! I didn't recognize you, sorry about running into you like that." He said rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
"It's ok no harm was done." She told him with that kind smile.
"I'm glad to see you're OK after last night."
"I'm guessing it was a case of mistaken identity." Feena said making sure her hair was still up in the bun she put it in.
"Well, yeah I get that a lot." Vash lied. "You changed your clothes."
"Yes, well I know I stick out a lot even now I had time to pack a few things before I left."
"Oh where's your bag?"
"Back where I spent the night just outside of town..." Feena said casually.
"Hey I know a place you can go to get some clothes so you don't stick out so much."
"Really? Would you help me chose something simple out?" Feena asked him giving him an almost puppy dog like look. She could easily go into the dressing room and call Spike or Jet down to see if they wanted to catch him, and this way she'd also fit in better.
"Well, umm sure why not?" Vash said; while in his mind he was thinking. Oh man how did I get my self into this? I hope those guys don't walk into the store and make me out to be the bad guy again, I don't want to look bad in front of Feena she seems so nice.'
"Thanks, you're so nice." Feena said with a smile, she kinda felt bad about it, but they were going to need the money, who knew how long they were going to be stuck there. As they walked down the street that same strange abstract looking cat walked across their path only stopping to look at them and to meow then to continue on it's way. "Strange cats..." Feena said as she watched it walk off down the ally. Vash just smiled and held the door open for her as they reached the clothes shop.
It only took ten minutes for Feena to find something that suited her, a pair of black pants, a red long sleeved shirt, a black vest to go over it. As she went to try it on in the back Vash waited and Feena called up to Spike speaking softly so Vash wouldn't hear her.
"Hey Spike I found our big bounty again." Feena said with a grin.
"Really? Need some help bringing him in?" Spike asked as he quickly grabbed a radio and headed for the Swordfish II.
"No, I'm calling to brag, of course I do I'm not good at this yet." Feena told him.
"Where you at?"
"Same town, in the clothes shop not far from the bar."
"Keep him there, I'm coming down now."
"You better." Feena said before turning down the radio and then she started to change.
"You almost done?" Vash asked her as he came to the door. He was just tall enough to see her from the waist up from above the door but she had her back turned to him.
"Not really just give me a minute." Feena told him not knowing he was right there. On her entire back was an elegant tattoo of a red dragon with white angel wings and over all the whole thing was very detailed. She pulled her shirt on over her head and he turned and took a few steeps back, he had never seen a tattoo quite like that before, matter fact he couldn't remember ever seeing any one with a tattoo. As she turned around he had already steeped back in time so he wasn't be caught peeking over the door, all she could see would be the top of his spiky blond hair. 'I still want to know how guys hair defies gravity like that so naturally.' Feena thought to her self.
"OK, well, I'll be right here waiting." Vash said with an innocent tone.
"Good, I'll be done shortly." She said putting her vest on. She pulled her blue hair out of her shirt and the buttoned up the vest and the top three buttons of her shirt. She was surprised by how cool the fabric felt against her skin, it was almost like silk. She pulled up her pants and then pulled her shirt out a bit so she could be more comfortable. She then pulled on the boots that she bought witch were a bit big but they fit her fine. By the time she finished dressing she heard the bell of someone walking in, Feena hoped it was Spike. "So how do I... Vash?" She asked as she walked out. Looking around she didn't see Vash, then she noticed his blond hair sticking up from behind one of the other rooms and Spike standing in the doorway. Spike looked to her and gave her a questioning look, she jerked her head in Vash's direction trying not to be obvious to Vash. Spike walked over and pushed her back into the changing room.
"You'll probably be safer in here." Spike whispered. But as he pushed her in Vash was sneaking out behind Spike, but Spike turned around quickly and quickly drew his gun shutting the door on Feena. "I found you again Vash the Stampede." He said with a grin. But Vash was determined to run, so Spike fired a warning shot at him to in witch Vash dodged with surprising ease and continued running. "What the heck! GET BACK HERE!" He yelled as he chased Vash out of the store and then down the street. Feena wanted to follow but she had to stop and pay the clerk for the clothes first.
"Come on! Why can't you just leave me alone?" Vash called back to Spike.
"Cause you have such a nice bounty on your head and me being a bounty hunter I'm not going to give up so easily!" Spike called back at him.
This is strange,' Vash thought to him self, first a woman with a tattoo and strange clothes and now a bounty hunter with strange clothes? Could Feena be working with him really?' He wondered as he ran down the road and then turned a corner. Spike was starting to catch up with him, with his long legs and years of running after bounties Spike would probably be one to catch up to the infamous sixty-billion double dollar man. Vash looked over his shoulder and saw Spike just barely out of arms reach now. "AHH!" He turned and started to run faster. Turning another corner he found it to be a dead end.
"I got you now!" Spike called out as he turned the corner. Blinking he stood there for a minute, he was gone, Vash had seemingly disappeared. "Damn it! Now where did he go?" He said looking around in hopes of seeing a bit of red or blond hair as to see where he went. He looked up and then slowly walked down the ally way looking for any sine of Vash. "He must have gone over that wall..." He muttered to himself. Using a garbage can he jumped over the wall in search of the sixty-billion double dollar man. As the trash can fell over and then lid rolled off Vash could easily be seen inside the empty garbage can.
"That was a close one, he almost caught me there." Vash said as he crawled out of the garbage can. Dusting himself off he turned and walked carefully down the street only to find the other three who had also been chasing him coming from the other direction. "Oh man why can't I just get a break?" He said as he turned and started running.
Feena walked out and looked around for anyone, her clothes now paid for her dress was neatly folded up in a bag that she had also bought along with a hat. She didn't look much like she did before with her new clothes and her hair now up with the exception of her chin length bangs that hung neatly on each side of her face. Looking around she turned and walked down the street to find Spike looking rather irritated. "Lost him again?"
"Yeah... Jeez this guy's slippery." Spike muttered he then looked at her and jumped back. "Where you get the money to get clothes like that?"
"I brought in a small bounty." Feena said casually.
"I see, well I lost Vash yet again." Spike said as he put his gun back in it's holster. "And aren't you hot in that?" He asked.
"Actually it's not hot at all, maybe you should get your self something to wear while your down here too, I think it's the fabric they have." Feena said. "It's almost like silk and rather cheep... well compared to Woolongs things are priced bout the same." Feena told him as she admired her own new clothes as she did she noticed Vash running towards her and then skidding to a stop as he saw Spike with her. "Uh oh covers blown." She mumbled.
"Unless he thinks I'm asking you where he is. That bounty is mine now." He said running at Vash as he drew his gun. Feena thought for a moment and then she turned and ran on her own, she got a rough lay out of the town when she flew over it, she had a plan.
"I'm blowing my cover now, got to some time." She said as she ran down the road and then into a building, she figured that he would try and escape threw an ally way to witch on the other side was the hotel. She could pull him threw the door and then she could easily walk him right to Spike and they could get their bounty in. She was glad she listened to Jet about bringing a gun, and even more so that he lent her his gun. Her only problem was she hadn't used a gun since she was little and she hoped Vash wouldn't notice how rusty she actually was. Making her way to the back door She spotted Vash jumping over the wall just like she expected him to, quickly she opened the door and pulled him into the hotel.
"Oh thank goodness it's you." He said hugging her.
"Not really, you see the tall man with the green hair is kinda my partner." She said pointing her gun at his chest. He let go and put his hands up.
"What is an innocent girl like you doing going after bounties?" He asked her.
"It's not what you think, I'm not some innocent girl I can take care of my self. I just happen to chose the life of a bounty hunter." She said casually as she pulled the radio from her bag. "Spike where are you?" she asked.
"Taking care of these other bozo's who are after our bounty." Spike finally said. "Where are you?" He asked her.
"When your done go over the wall and in the first door on your right I'm here with Mr. Stampede." Feena told him not taking an eye off Vash.
"Be there in just a moment." Spike told her as he finished beating up the three goons, jumping over the wall he turned and walked right to where Feena was standing with Jets gun pointed at Vash. "Isn't that Jet's gun?" He asked casually
"Yeah so?" She said giving him a look.
"Have you ever used a gun before?" Vash questioned. She shot right past his head coming very close. "I'll take that as a yes." He said now two inches over.
"Not bad Feena, who taught you?" Spike asked as he put hand cuffs on Vash.
"You remember the brother who was wanted? Him." Feena told him. "I'm surprised I'm still good as I use to be."
"Yeah, I see that come on Vash we're taking you in." Spike said as he pushed Vash out the back door and then they headed for the sheriffs.
Braids: That's it .
Vash: wimper Are they really going to turn me in?
Braids: You'll have to wait.
Vash: But Braids!
Braids: No buts I'm not spoiling anything... hey where's Spike any ways?
Vash: I don't know... last I knew he was plotting something...
Braids: Oh no... that's not good... Well, see you next time Space Cowboys!

"I found you again Vash the Stampede." He said with a grin. But Vash was determined to run, so Spike fired a warning shot at him to in witch Vash dodged with surprising ease and continued running. "What the heck! GET BACK HERE!" He yelled as he chased Vash out of the store and then down the street. Feena wanted to follow but she had to stop and pay the clerk for the clothes first.
"Come on! Why can't you just leave me alone?" Vash called back to Spike.
"Cause you have such a nice bounty on your head and me being a bounty hunter I'm not going to give up so easily!" Spike called back at him.
This is strange,' Vash thought to him self, first a woman with a tattoo and strange clothes and now a bounty hunter with strange clothes? Could Feena be working with him really?' He wondered as he ran down the road and then turned a corner. Spike was starting to catch up with him, with his long legs and years of running after bounties Spike would probably be one to catch up to the infamous sixty-billion double dollar man. Vash looked over his shoulder and saw Spike just barely out of arms reach now. "AHH!" He turned and started to run faster. Turning another corner he found it to be a dead end.
"I got you now!" Spike called out as he turned the corner. Blinking he stood there for a minute, he was gone, Vash had seemingly disappeared. "Damn it! Now where did he go?" He said looking around in hopes of seeing a bit of red or blond hair as to see where he went. He looked up and then slowly walked down the ally way looking for any sine of Vash. "He must have gone over that wall..." He muttered to himself. Using a garbage can he jumped over the wall in search of the sixty-billion double dollar man. As the trash can fell over and then lid rolled off Vash could easily be seen inside the empty garbage can.
"That was a close one, he almost caught me there." Vash said as he crawled out of the garbage can. Dusting himself off he turned and walked carefully down the street only to find the other three who had also been chasing him coming from the other direction. "Oh man why can't I just get a break?" He said as he turned and started running.
Feena walked out and looked around for anyone, her clothes now paid for her dress was neatly folded up in a bag that she had also bought along with a hat. She didn't look much like she did before with her new clothes and her hair now up with the exception of her chin length bangs that hung neatly on each side of her face. Looking around she turned and walked down the street to find Spike looking rather irritated. "Lost him again?"
"Yeah... Jeez this guy's slippery." Spike muttered he then looked at her and jumped back. "Where you get the money to get clothes like that?"
"I brought in a small bounty." Feena said casually.
"I see, well I lost Vash yet again." Spike said as he put his gun back in it's holster. "And aren't you hot in that?" He asked.
"Actually it's not hot at all, maybe you should get your self something to wear while your down here too, I think it's the fabric they have." Feena said. "It's almost like silk and rather cheep... well compared to Woolongs things are priced bout the same." Feena told him as she admired her own new clothes as she did she noticed Vash running towards her and then skidding to a stop as he saw Spike with her. "Uh oh covers blown." She mumbled.
"Unless he thinks I'm asking you where he is. That bounty is mine now." He said running at Vash as he drew his gun. Feena thought for a moment and then she turned and ran on her own, she got a rough lay out of the town when she flew over it, she had a plan.
"I'm blowing my cover now, got to some time." She said as she ran down the road and then into a building, she figured that he would try and escape threw an ally way to witch on the other side was the hotel. She could pull him threw the door and then she could easily walk him right to Spike and they could get their bounty in. She was glad she listened to Jet about bringing a gun, and even more so that he lent her his gun. Her only problem was she hadn't used a gun since she was little and she hoped Vash wouldn't notice how rusty she actually was. Making her way to the back door She spotted Vash jumping over the wall just like she expected him to, quickly she opened the door and pulled him into the hotel.
"Oh thank goodness it's you." He said hugging her.
"Not really, you see the tall man with the green hair is kinda my partner." She said pointing her gun at his chest. He let go and put his hands up.
"What is an innocent girl like you doing going after bounties?" He asked her.
"It's not what you think, I'm not some innocent girl I can take care of my self. I just happen to chose the life of a bounty hunter." She said casually as she pulled the radio from her bag. "Spike where are you?" she asked.
"Taking care of these other bozo's who are after our bounty." Spike finally said. "Where are you?" He asked her.
"When your done go over the wall and in the first door on your right I'm here with Mr. Stampede." Feena told him not taking an eye off Vash.
"Be there in just a moment." Spike told her as he finished beating up the three goons, jumping over the wall he turned and walked right to where Feena was standing with Jets gun pointed at Vash. "Isn't that Jet's gun?" He asked casually
"Yeah so?" She said giving him a look.
"Have you ever used a gun before?" Vash questioned. She shot right past his head coming very close. "I'll take that as a yes." He said now two inches over.
"Not bad Feena, who taught you?" Spike asked as he put hand cuffs on Vash.
"You remember the brother who was wanted? Him." Feena told him. "I'm surprised I'm still good as I use to be."
"Yeah, I see that come on Vash we're taking you in." Spike said as he pushed Vash out the back door and then they headed for the sheriffs.
Braids: That's it .
Vash: wimper Are they really going to turn me in?
Braids: You'll have to wait.
Vash: But Braids!
Braids: No buts I'm not spoiling anything... hey where's Spike any ways?
Vash: I don't know... last I knew he was plotting something...
Braids: Oh no... that's not good... Well, see you next time Space Cowboys!
