Spike stretched out on the yellow couch with a yawn. However, he doubted he'd get any sleep. Ed was typing away at her computer like a maniac, Faye was rambling, and Jet was tapping on the table. It was then that a shriek of laughter left the girl at the computer. Spike sprung up, startled into awareness as he looked over. She was grinning maniacally, but since when was that unusual?

"Uh, Ed. . ." Spike mumbled, waiting for an explanation for her outburst. She finally swung around, facing them. "Ed found him!" she announced and Ein barked in approval. Spike absently wondered if the dog knew what Ed was doing, but decided not to dwell on that question for he could find out some pretty freaky answers. "Who?" it was Faye who spoke this time, leaning forward in her chair.

"Evil monster meanie man!" Ed said in a creepy voice, wiggling her fingers in the air. "I don't like where this is going. . ." Jet muttered, more to himself than the others. "Code?" Spike asked, already knowing the answer. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Faye darken and narrow her eyes. The teenage girl, on the other hand, smiled and laughed happily as she sat her laptop on the table in front of them.

On the screen was a couple of paragraphs, followed by a picture of a large building. Spike didn't bother reading, but he did look at the photograph and the small text that was below it. 'Center of Chemical Testing' is what it read. The fuzzy haired man quirked an eyebrow, wondering what this had to do with Code. Did Code work there? Or was he planning to steal a chemical or what? He looked to Ed for advice. It was easier than reading.

"Codey Wodey wants special toxic chemical without paying!" Ed smiled, swaying from side to side. Ein yipped yet again, jumping onto Ed's lap and looking at the others. "How do you know, Ed? This doesn't tell us anything about Code," Faye said after she finished reading. And it was true. The paragraphs only gave you information about chemicals and how to contact the building.

Ed leaned over the computer and pressed a few keys, minimizing the first screen to reveal another. This had Code's history formed into paragraphs. Skimming over it, Jet found that he was very interested in chemicals. It didn't mention a particular one, but if he needed one it wouldn't be too far fetched that he'd go to the Center of Chemical Testing. But how did Ed know for sure that's what he was going to do? Was she guessing perhaps?

As if reading the older man's mind, Ed piped up. "Well, Edward found this," she waved a piece of paper that seemed like it came from no where in the air , "on Robert when she attacked him!" The girl dropped the folded paper onto the table and Faye was the first to snatch it up. It read 'Center of Chemical Testing. 9:00 pm. Wednesday.' and then was followed with a short description of the building and where it would be. It was obviously printed out, which was a very bad idea. Well, the bad guys can mess up too.

"That's today!" Faye said, her voice back to the normal loudness with a tinge of unbelieving. She had hopped up, dropping the paper on the table and walking back to her room. Jet quickly read the small letter, then turned to look at the clock. It was six. If they left soon, they could get there in an two hours. That would give them time to check the place out and set up posts.

The question was, would Code even come? Was he just sending his henchmen to get the job done? Jet wasn't able to answer those questions, but he knew that they couldn't allow Code to get whatever chemical it was that he wanted. Call it a hunch. A very well-placed hunch.

When nine o' clock rolled around, everyone was where they needed to be. Jet sat in a car in the front of the building, in case they came in that way. Faye was perched on a window sill, her normal yellow attire replaced with black. Spike got stuck in a tree. Although they weren't the best positions, and probably not the wisest, they didn't have much time to think it out. Plus, they needed somewhere where they could see everything below and around them. These were the three best places they could find.

Ed also played a part in this. She had tapped into the building's security cameras, and was watching everything that went by with a blank face. Ein didn't look very amused either. Other than their boredom, everything was going fine. It was then that Jet saw two cars, both black and sleek, roll into the parking lot. They got passed the front gate where security was rather easily. (AN - the Bebop crew didn't go through the gate. Instead, they came in the back way. I just haven't figured out what exactly the back way is yet, lol.)

Jet narrowed his eyes, wondering if it was them. They parked a few spaces away and Jet ducked down slightly so that he couldn't be seen. Each of the cars had tinted windows, but that didn't help conceal you when you got out. There were five men in each car, Jet noted. So, that was ten in all. Scanning over the thugs, he noted also that one of them was in fact Code.

Lowering farther, Jet brought his radio up to his mouth. "He's here."

I know, short. I was going to make it longer but I'm late already! So, I'll upload this and then get out of here. Thanks for reading, review, etc.
