Chapter 3: Shattered Windows

Three Months Later: Mars

Rena sat in one of the pews of the church not too far from the Red Dragons headquarters. The rain was falling softly outside. She looked up at the window behind the alter as the image of Virgin Mary looked down upon her. "What am I doing here?" She closed her eyes and leaned her head back. Nothing had gone right since she last saw Spike.

"As I live and breathe." Rena looked up to see a old priest looking at her. "Father Thompson?", said Rena as she stood up. The priest smiled at her. "My dear Sophia. It's been 5 long years. I thought you would never return." Rena looked at her feet. "Me neither Father." Father Thompson looked at her. "What's wrong Sophia?"

Rena sighed and looked at the kindly old priest. "Father...I have many things I have to confess." She pushed her hair out of her face. "And it won't be easy either." Father Thompson bowed his head. "Don't worry, my child. I'm here to listen." Rena smiled at him. He was one of the few people outside of the Red Dragons she trusted.

Just then, the church door burst open. Rena looked to see a bunch of the Red Dragons standing in the doorway. They fired off their guns, aiming for her. She ducked under the pew and looked out into the aisle. Father Thompson's body fell to the ground. Rena gasped. "Damn them!" She grabbed her guitar case and pulled her gun out of the secret compartment. She loaded it real quick and looked at Father Thompson. "Rest in peace, Father"

Rena stood up and started firing at the group. She managed to get a couple down. She quickly grabbed her guitar case and began shooting again. Once they got the idea that a fire fight was on, Rena ran down the pew aisle, the tails of her black raincoat trailing. She stopped at the end and began shooting again. Bang! Bang! She got shot in the right arm as one of the Dragons dropped his gun and clutched his shoulder. Rena ran down the aisle as the ones still standing ran after her, guns blazing. One by one, they shot at the windows, shattering the images of the saints.

Rena quickly opened the door to the back hall and ran down it. Her arm was stinging as fresh blood trickled out. "Shit." She turned the corner as she heard them follow. She kicked down the door at the end of the hall and ran out into the back alley. She knew that they would be here soon. She looked around and saw a dumpster. She ran over to it and hid behind it.

Rena heard the group come into the alley. She stayed quiet as she possibly could. Then, she heard footsteps coming towards her. She got really nervous.

"C'mon Mack! She must have ran into the street. She couldn't have gotten far."

The footsteps backed away and into the street. Rena held her upper right arm. "What the Hell is going on?" Just then, another pair of footsteps came closer. Rena scrunched up as they got louder and louder. A shadow then fell over her as she looked up.

----------------------------

Spike stood over the shelf with the music box. "Should I?" He thought of Rena as he looked at it. "Well...It was a gift." He picked it up, opened it and wound it a few times. The gentle tune of 'Simple and Clean' drifted into the room. Spike fell back on his bed and slowly closed his eyes. "Things aren't that simple..."

--------------------------

Spike was running along an alley, holding onto Rena's hand. He looked back to see a group of Red Dragons chasing them. "C'mon Rena!" He looked up to see a fire escape of an abandoned apartment complex. He went up it and made sure Rena got up. Spike saw a broken window and climbed through. Rena followed and they ran through it. She kicked open the door and the ran up the stairs, all the way to the roof. Spike swung the door open. Right there waiting for them was a small group of Red Dragons. "Damn it!"

They all pointed their guns to Spike and Rena. Spike was ready to put up a fight, but Rena sighed and went towards the roof ledge over the alley. "Rena!" Spike followed her. "What the hell are you doing?" Rena looked at Spike. "I'm sorry, but we can't win this way." She pulled a gun out of the pocket of her coat and handed it to Spike. "Shoot me." Spike looked at her with shock. Rena just bowed her head and stood on the ledge. She held her arms out and Spike aimed. He squeezed his eyes shut and pulled the trigger. Bang!

---------------------------

Spike sat straight up and started breathing hard. The music box stopped playing. Spike stood up and shut it. He opened the door and walked towards the living room. When he got in there, there was little miss Faye, sitting on the couch, reading a fashion magazine and the monsters known as Ed and Ein near the computer.

"Faye, where's Jet?"

"How am I suppose to know?", said Faye, without looking up, "I'm not his babysitter." Spike groaned. "You got any answers for me, Ed?" Ed looked at him. "Where did Jet-person go? Hmm..." She thought about it for a second, then remembered. "Oh yeah! Jet-person told Edward that Jet-person was looking for a bounty!" Spike groaned again. "Was it that Johnson guy? He's not even worth the amount on his head." Just then, the door slid open and Jet stepped in carrying a guitar case.

"Where were you Jet? And what's with the guitar?"

Jet sighed as he put it down. "Ask your friend." As he said that, Rena came into the room, clutching her right arm. Spike looked at her with big eyes. "What are you doing here?" Faye, Ed and Ein looked up at Rena. She laughed. "Can't you tell?" She took her hand away from her arm and showed the blood on it. "I'm injured." Faye looked between them. "Spike, who is she?" Spike ran his hand through his hair. "Her name is Rena." Rena stepped down the stairs and looked at everyone. "I might need to hide here too."

Ed looked at her strange. "Hide from who?"

"Some bad people." Rena looked at Spike. "Some very bad people." Spike bowed his head. "I'll find the first aid kit and you can explain everything."
