Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated, I have been really busy as of late, and
very worried about this story, how far it has strayed from the plot, I may
just change the plot entirely. I hope you all aren't mad at me. A warning,
this chapter is PG 13 material. I will inform you all in the next chapter
it I change the plot. Thank you very much for all of the reviews begging me
to update, I know that some of you still love me. Hehe. Okay here goes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Cowboy Bebop.
Faye's eyes widened as she heard that voice, that voice that haunted he very being. "H-h-hello Spike." She said her voice small and shaky.
"Um, Jet told me what you have been doing and I guess that's great. You're ding something to get yourself ahead."
"Y-y-yeah"
"Hey, listen, I'm s-s-s-sorry." Spike said his voice fading off.
"You're what?" Faye said unbelievingly.
"I never meant to hurt you."
"Yeah, right." Finally able to regain her composure.
"Yeah Faye, that's right, I'm sorry."
"Yeah and maybe I Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny are real too."
"Who and what?" Spike asked confused.
"Oh yeah, I forgot, you were never exposed to something as stupid as that. Well you know what? Don't give a freaking flying flip! You knew very well that I could take care of myself just as well as you can! You had no right to treat me the way that you did. I just called to let JET know that I was alright and to let you know that I NEVER want to see you again!" She slammed the phone down on the hook, put her head down, and cried not caring who saw her.
Spike hung up the phone hearing it slam down on the other end. He looked over to Ed, "Now is when I finally listen to that shrew. Ed track that phone call and get me the exact address and a map of the surrounding area."
"Yes sir!" she saluted and went to typing at her computer trying to hack the phone company.
Spike went into his room to get his stuff. "Hey Spike, don't you think you're blowing this a little out of proportion?" Jet asked as he followed him down the hall.
"No Jet, I have my reasons, and their not what you're thinking." Spike replies putting a gun and some ammo into his pockets.
"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Jet raised an eyebrow.
"Your thinking, 'he loves her' or 'he just can't live without her' or 'he just wants a replacement for Julia'. Well I got some news for you Jet, it happens to be because I have a way to . . . Awe never mind. You would never understand." Spike stormed out of the room.
He went into the hanger and opened the hatch to the Swordfish. "See you soon Jet!" he climbed into the Swordfish and flew off into the distance.
He circled around the area that he had seen her earlier looking for any sign of her. 'Ding-Dong! Spike person! Ed found Faye-Faye!" Ed sang through the communicator.
"Great, send me the address and the map I asked for."
"Ed sends the official locator!" A map and an address appeared on the screen.
As he studied the map he smirked, "Heh, I know what that place is. It is a big pre-dominant law firm. Man, if she really is working there then I won' be able to take her away!" He pushed the controls of the ship toward the direction that Ed gave him.
Faye finally had pulled herself together just as her secretary walked in. "Good morning Miss. Landen. I have some papers that you have to sign." She said cheerfully.
"Good morning, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Romani? Miss. sounds so old."
She walked over to her desk and put down a pile of documents. "At least fifty more times Miss. Landen. Mr. Connors said you need to enter these things into the computer, and he wants a report on them in the morning."
"Alright, thanks Connie." Faye picked up the first pile and started to work.
She had barely gotten though the first file when Connie's voice rang through the intercom. "Miss. Landen, Mr. Connors wants to see you n his office."
"Alright, thanks Connie." Faye stood up and walked out of the office and down to the end of the hall. She arrived at the door that had a golden plate on it that said Mr. Connors. She took a deep breath and knocked n the door.
"Come in." A voice called through the door.
Faye walked in and stood at the doorway. "You wanted to see me Mr. Connors?"
"Take a seat Romani." His back was to her so she could only see the back of his huge chair. She sat down in the chair directly across the desk. "Romani, do you know what keeps a company like this together?"
"The employees?" She asked
"Yes, Miss. Romani. The employees and their ability to do whatever the boss says ad when he says it." He turned around, his black eyes boring holes into Faye's jade ones. His black hair was combed neatly onto his head and his pale skin gave the impression that he had been in his office for to long. (A/n: remind you of anyone?) "Well Miss. Romani, don't you agree with me?"
Faye nodded, "Yes, of course sir."
He stood up and walked behind Faye. Faye tensed as her boss circled her like a hawk circles his prey. He stopped right behind her and Faye kept looking forward. A shiver went down her spike as he ran a pale finger down her right jaw. He bent his face toward the left side of her face and breathed into her ear. "You want me, you know you do."
Faye shook as his hot breath caressed her ear. She said nothing in reply to his question.
He kissed her ear lightly and sent kisses all the way down her neck and shoulder going back up and kissing her neck unceasingly. She moaned a little out of pleasure but stopped as his hand fell to the top of her black and white business suit fiddling with the buttons.
Faye stood up almost instantaneously and backed slightly away. He looked confused and he took a step forward causing Faye to step back. At this he smirked. "Ahhh, you want to play this do you? Well then, we'll play." He walked forward forcing Faye to keep stepping back. Faye kept backing away until she felt something solid behind her, the wall.
Mr. Connors walked forward and grabbed Faye's wrists forcing them above her head. He kissed her lips fiercely and when he backed away he pulled her along with him by the wrists. Going to his desk he pushed a button and a light surrounded the walls and floor of the room. The windows went black and the lights on the ceiling were the only thing that kept the room lit. He threw her down onto the floor and knelt down beside her and held her down, easily overpowering her with one hand. He used the other hand to unbutton the buttons on her blouse. Faye screamed "Let me go!" As he unsnapped her bra from the back.
"No one can hear you dear. I have soundproofed the room. He managed to get one strap of and he started to work on the other one. As he did there was a knock at the door. He groaned as he got of Faye and threw her behind his desk, murmuring curse words as he went.
He walked over to the door pressing the button that soundproofs the room as he went. He opened the room and a girl stepped in. "I know you just had your room soundproofed, I can tell it. So who have you got up here this time? Is it some girl off the street or one of your employees?"
"It's just some girl." He said.
"Well she must not have wanted to do this because you had to soundproof the room."
"That is none of your business."
"Ok then, lets see her." The woman said.
"Fine." Mr. Connors went over to behind his desk and yanked Faye off her knees by the wrist. She by now had managed to fully dress herself and was struggling against his grasp. "Here, this is her, Romani Landen." He looked over at her, "Who told you to get dressed?" He yelled. Faye didn't reply.
Faye looked from her boss to the woman at the door, she had curly blond hair and piercing blue eyes that sent shivers down Faye's spine. She, at first look, seemed like she would be a kind person, but those eyes. They would boar wholes into you. "Well, I must say that you have done well for yourself this time, but you could do better." She said. "Well um, we have work to do." She said raising her eyebrows to make her point that was unknown to Faye but well known to Mr. Connors.
Faye was thoroughly relieved when she heard this because Mr. Connors threw her roughly towards the door, "Tell ANYONE what happened here or what you saw. Give any inkling that something other than a normal meeting happened then I will go after that little brat that you picked up yesterday."
Faye's eyes grew wide, 'How did he know about Lavender? I haven't told anyone about her yet, with the exception of Spike and Jet.' She thought as she nodded in understanding.
"Well then leave my office and walk calmly back to your office and get back to work." He said gruffly.
Faye opened the door and left the office quickly. When she got out of the office she went quickly back to hers shaking. When she got into her office she sat down at her desk. She looked at her computer to the papers that she had laid out on her desk. For a few minuets she sobbed unknowingly as she started typing her fingers still shaking when there was a small nock at the door. Faye jumped at the sound and said when she regained her nerve, "Come in" The door opened and standing there, his head down was Spike, "S-s- spike?" (A/n: he sure gets called that a lot lately; I think that's his new name. lol)
"Hey Faye." He said looking up at her. She was about to say something but he cut her short. "Listen, I know I'm the last person in the world you want to see right now, but I feel so bad that I made you this upset."
Faye looked back at her computer and started typing again. "That's your problem, not mine." She said in a mater-of-factly sort of way.
"Faye please, I hate it when you won't talk to me, I have no one to fight with over the really stupid things. I'm not going to ask you to come back to the Bebop; I'm just going to ask you to forgive me. I'm sorry; I can't stand it when you're so mad at me that you stutter every time you see me."
"That's nice Spike." She said, boredom showing clearly in her voice.
"Faye this isn't a joke!" He screamed at her.
She looked up at him with ferocity in her eyes; it was then that he noticed the tear streaks on her ace and the slight bruise on her collarbone. "Oh my God Faye, are you ok? Why were you crying? Did something happen?"
"No nothing happened. Not like it would be any of your business." She snapped at him and quickly turned her face away.
"Hey Faye, I apologized! In case you didn't hear me the first fifty million times, I'm sorry!" His voice faded as he saw an absolute look of hate on her face. He looked down at the floor and then back up at her. She looked like she had calmed down a bit and didn't look so hateful. "You have a nice office, a nice job to."
"Yeah I guess so." All hatred had vanished from her voice and face, when she saw him look down at the floor it reminded her of Lavender and she couldn't stay mad at her for long.
"Faye, I'm truly sorry and you know that I don't apologize unless I really mean it" His two toned eyes filled with sorrow and regret.
"I know Spike, I'm just not sure that I'm ready to forgive you yet."
"But you will consider it then?" Spike asked, his hopes rising.
"Thanks Faye, oh and next time you don't want to be found." Faye looked into his eyes. "Don't use your office phone." They both laughed. "But seriousally Faye, what happened to you? What happened to give you that bruise on your neck?" He asked walking over to her and hooking two fingers under her jaw and examining the injury. "Those look like finger marks! Faye what happened?" He demanded loudly.
Mr. Conner's words ecoed in her head as he looked at her. If you tell anyone what happened today, I'll go after the little brat you picked up yesterday. She looked down at the floor, "I don't know Spike. I don't really know what happened." She was telling the truth, she didn't know what had gotten into Mr. Connors to make him act in such a way, so she didn't know what had happened.
Spike looked at her with disbelief, "Faye, something's not right with you, and I'm going to find out what if it kills me."
"Spike just leave, please, nothing is wrong, please. Just go." Tears started to form again as she looked back at her computer. And when she looked back up, he was gone.
Faye quickly looked out of her window and saw his form leave the building and disappear into the setting sun.
