Oh my god! I'm so sorry for not making a new chapter in like two weeks!
*gets on her knees and bows with waterfalls of tears running down her face*
Forgive me!!!! Anyway, I didn't write last weekend because it was my
birthday weekend! (April 24th!! Woohoo! The big fourteen!!!) and then my
friends decided to get me addicted to this mushy manga, Marmalade Boy. It's
not bad, I actually like it, but I don't know if I like it enough to buy it
because I prefer drama and action over just pure romance. But I guess you
could call this a romance *laughs nervously* *feels like an idiot* anyway,
thanks for the 2 reviews I got ^.^
Responses to reviewers:
XHatori-SohmaX: ^^ I got a fan! *cheers* X3 thankies!!! Even though you hate Julia *looks to the side* I don't mind her ^^; I actually like her. But still everybody has their own opinions, ne? I'm an oddball out of my friends cause they hate Julia too ; oh poor poor me XD
Tengu Queen: o.o thanks for putting me on you author alert! But I got kind of confused about what you said *feels like an idiot once more* but in anycase, I'm going to make it be awhile before Faye and Spike really do hook up (sorry, I like drama and romance that takes a long time to build up!) *bows apologetically*
Read, and Review!!!

Chapter 4:
Syndicate
Two men wearing black leather trench coats walked down the aisle of the large room, walking towards their chief. One of the men carried a briefcase and the other carried a laptop. As soon as they were in front of their boss, they both sat down their briefcases and saluted him.
"Sir! Spike Spiegel has been reported to come back to life. He is supposedly one of the best ex-members of the Red Dragons. We, the Golden Phoenix, have decided that Spike could still be a threat to other syndicates including us. He carries a lot of information from his past that may ruin our syndicate society. We are here to ask what we should do, sir," one of the men had said.
The chief looked at the two men and the rubbed his chin. "If Mr. Spiegel does become a bigger threat, than we should kill him. But right now, I want you two to spy on Mr. Spiegel to see if he does anything that could ruin the Golden Phoenix. You understand?"
"Yes sir!" the men saluted and then picked up their briefcases as they started to walk off...
The chief watched them and then muttered. "I thought Vicious took care of that low-life bounty hunter... I guess this proves that Spike is really a great guns man. We need him dead!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Spike, why did you come see me? Did Jet force you too because he was so busy?" Faye asked. She tried to get out of the hospital bed so she could stand up, but noticed the I.V. in her wrist.
"Well, actually Jet didn't force me. I wanted to say... I'm sorry..." he said. He had a saddened look on his face now.
Faye blinked and looked at him. "You're sorry? Why?"
"I made you cry, Faye. I didn't want to make you cry. But you know... I had business to take care of so I had to leave. I hope you understand." Spike said with a guilty sigh.
Faye looked at him. He wasn't even being sarcastic, he really meant it. No jokes... nothing, he was saying this from his heart. Her throat had a lump growing in it. "No, Spike. It's not your fault... I guess I was being selfish. You had to do what you had to do... your heart led the way..." Faye felt silly for telling her feelings, but she also felt sad. She didn't have much attitude left when Spike left the Bebop, and now she is practically just telling a lie.
Spike looked up. "You're lying," he stood up from the chair he had been sitting in. "I worked in the syndicate in some part of my past life, you know that." He winked. "But Faye, if you're just telling me that to make me feel better, it's alright. I'll take anything I got to get back on track with this new life." He dusted off the imaginary dust off of his jacket, and took a deep breath of air, and then let it out with a sigh. "I'm going to go so you can rest up. Maybe they will let you go home soon, eh?" he walked towards the door, and then looked back at Faye. "See you, Space Cowgirl."
Spike opened the door by twisting the knob. He started to walk out the door until... "Spike!" Faye had called.
Spike looked back. "Yes Faye?" he lifted one eyebrow with a sarcastic smirk on his face.
"Say hi to Ed... for me." Faye nervously said, she didn't want Spike to leave yet, but she also didn't want to reveal her little secret either... even though it was practically revealed...
Spike looked surprised. He thought that Faye was going to say something else, but he just went along. "Okay. I think she will be happy about that." After he said that, we quickly waved at her and then put his hands into his pocket and walked off.
After Faye knew for sure that he was gone, she cursed at her self. 'That was my chance! God I'm such an idiot!"

"Soo... you're a computer genius and you're only thirteen years old?" Shana asked Ed.
"Ed knows all, and all for one!" Ed giggled.
"Well, she tricked us onto getting on the Bebop. She is also a super hacker, they call her Radical Edward." Jet explained.
"Wow. So you're that brilliant hacker every bounty hunter was trying to catch, but unsuccessfully failed? I bet they feel dumb for losing to a little girl..." Shana complimented.
Ed giggled. "So what brings Shana to Bebop?" Ed asked.
"Oh, I just wanted to hang out for a bit until Faye went into her nervous breakdown... What bring Ed to the Bebop?" Shana asked with a quirky smile.
"Ed got lonely. Father-person is too busy and never comes home that much. Ed decided to come live with Faye-Faye, Jet-person, and Spikey again." Ed smiled. Ed didn't have a big smile though, it was more like a gloomy depressed type of smile, and this was very unusual for the brilliant teenage hacker. Jet was surprised and Ein let out a soft gloomy whine while his ears went back. Ed started to pet the short-legged canine. "Ed is grateful Ein was there for her though. If Ed was all alone by herself, Edward may have been more depressed and sad, but Ein was always by my side." Ed scratched behind Ein's ears, and the little pooch seemed to enjoy it.
"Well, I'm happy you came back. It was awfully quiet on the Bebop with just me and Faye. I started to go insane in my head!" Jet laughed. Jet was sitting next to Ed on the yellow couch, and then patted her head. "But one thing is for sure, Ed can find a lot more bounty information than what I can. I'm happy that you came back, Edward."
Ed smiled with her regular non-gloomy smile. Shana looked at Jet with a little grin. Jet looked at her and blinked a few times before he decided he should grim back... with a tad bit of a blush.
The Bebop made a beeping noise. Jet ran over to his computer and clicked the window that was beeping, he was receiving a message from Spike.
"Yo, Jet. Can you open the hangar for me?" Spike asked.
"Sure can, Spike-o." Jet responded as he went over to the ship's motherboard and then pushed the button that allowed the hangar to open.
Spike pulled his Swordfish II in and then the Bebop latched onto the starship and pulled the Swordfish in by itself. As soon as the starship stopped moving, Spike opened the top and jumped out. He went over to the lever and button pad, and made it so the hangar would close. He took off his gloves and stuffed them into his pocket, after that, he walked to the door that exited the hangar and allowed him to enter the Bebop living area.

Grarr! You guys must be mad at me for making Faye not say anything romantic to Spike! But I don't want that to come into effect yet ^^; trust me! They will hook up! But like most stories, their will be saddning moments too XP but don't let your heart sink because I swear they will hook up! Cross my heart and hope to die! Stick a needle in my eye! X3
