Chapter 7:
Under Siege

Spike noticed that the door to the prison cell was still open from when the guard came in. Spike threw Faye a gun. Faye stared at him blankly. In response, Spike cocked one of his eyebrows.

"Did you forget how to use a gun?" Spike said as he stared at Faye weirdly.

Faye gave him a angry look on her face back. "No I didn't, lunk head. It's just been awhile since I've actually used one so my aim maybe a little off." She threw some of her purple locks back, acting as if she knew what she was doing. Spike sighed.

"Well, if that's the case, stand behind me and I'll lead the way then. You don't want some shit head to shoot you, right?" Spike smirked.

"Haha, very funny." Faye sarcastically replied back. "What are we waiting for, get your ass moving."

"As you wish, my lovely princess." Spike said. He gestured her to go in front of him. Faye looked at him and lifted an eyebrow before snubbing him like a poodle. Spike smirked and followed after her.

Spike quickly went in front of Faye so she could protect her a little better because she did just snap out of being unconscious. They walked cautiously down the hallway in the syndicate edifice where the syndicate members kidnapped Spike and Faye. The sounds of their steps on the floor echoed through the floors, but they moved slightly slower and slicker so they wouldn't be caught that fast. Spike stopped suddenly, and Faye also stopped.

"What's wron-

"Shh..." Spike interrupted Faye. "We've got company."

The roar of the footsteps from the mafia group got louder. It sounded like thunder roaring through the halls. Spike held out his gun.

"Be careful, Faye." He said and the he faced one of the men who ran towards the two. Faye's eyes widened. Men were everywhere, and she didn't know if they could handle this.

Not knowing what to do, she gripped on to Spike's hand. It's been some time since she last shot at some one. With her free hand, she shot at the men behind her. The gunfire ceased when all the men were shot onto the floor, one by one. As soon as Spike stopped firing, he smiled.

"Scared?" he looked at Faye, and then on to their hands. "I would never think the Faye I know would ever do that."

Faye blushed to the roots of her hair. She quickly let go of Spike's hand. "I guess you're right, I must of got scared." She chuckled nervously. Spike smirked. She looked at his face and blushed even more. "What the hell am I doing?! I didn't want to do that to him! Well, at least not yet..." she thought.

"Well, we should get a move on. I don't want you to wet your panties again." Spike said sarcastically and then stuffed his hands in his pockets. Faye glared at him evilly although the only thing you could see was the back. She followed after she took in a couple of breaths to keep her from hurting the lunk head. She quietly ran up to him.

'He's walking fast.' She sighed. In the main room of the edifice, Spike looked around to make sure no one else was coming after him. Faye also looked around, and then she noticed something tiny. She knew it was dangerous. "Spike! Get down!" she yelled as she slammed her own body on the floor and protected her head.

Spike realized what she was talking about and then also dropped on the floor. The device made several beeps and then a long lasting one. It then exploded.

"They must have ran away." Spike sighed. "Well, we better get out of here." Faye poked his shoulder. Spike blinked a couple of times and then turned around to face her.

"Where's your ship? Where are WE?" she said with a minor glare.

Spike made an annoyed face. "Damn. Great, now I have to hunt down my own ship."

"Don't you have that auto-pilot and voice activation in your ship? Mine has that and we all know damn well that could help us in a time like this." She gave him a questioning glare.

"I never used it before. And I don't know how to work it so I don't think I can do that, Faye. We'll just have to keep asking around town to find my Swordfish and then head back to the Bebop." He started walking out of the building. Faye cocked a brow and then ran outside.

"You know it can take us awhile, right?!" Faye yelled.

"I'm not stupid." He smirked.

"And it's late at night! How the hell am I supposed to stay awake!?" she said as her eyes drooped a little from the loss of energy,

"We'll get a hotel room then, Faye. Problem solved." He shrugged it off. "If you want to get one, follow me, if you don't... stay here and find away to sleep without a bed."

Faye gaped. "Wait up!" she ran after Spike and then they went on a new journey... to find a cheap hotel.

((mwhee! Squirmy moments in every chapter, is that what I'm doing? Now for the hotel thing, THERE WILL BE NO LEMON! If I were to write stuff like that and my parents were to find out, I would be dead. Besides, I think its disturbing nods im only fourteen you know. XD ))
