**************************************************************************** ***** Chapter 2: Unveiling the past...

"Oh of course, I completely forgot...Yes, Faye I've come to ask you about a man I thought you might know.. A Mr. Spiegel.. Spike Spiegel? Does that name ring any bells?"

Faye's world stopped turning.... **************************************************************************** ******
Faye's wide green eyes stared unblinkingly straight back at Lt. Datsun's shimmering blue eyes. 'Spike' Faye uttered soundlessly in her swarming head. Faye hadn't heard that name in three years, and wasn't so sure she wanted to hear it now. That one simple name caused Faye so much anger, hatred, sadness, betrayal, fear, kindness, happiness, and love so long ago, she tried her best to forget about that name, but now it was back to haunt her.

Faye sighed heavily, closed her weary green eyes and leaned back into her sturdy oak chair. Faye decided long ago that, that one particular name wouldn't haunt her ever again, and she definitely wasn't going to let that name haunt her now. Faye opened her shining emerald green eyes and smiled seductively back at Datsun.

Datsun eyed Faye with curiosity. He took Faye's shocked response as a, yes, she had heard that name before. He could see it in her bright emerald eyes that she had to so much history behind that name, and he needed to know everything about it.

"I can tell by your reaction, that you've heard his name before. How did you know him Faye?" Datsun said in a inquisitive tone. A lazy slow smile spread across Faye's attractive face, she knew that he wanted to know this information about Spike for some purpose, not just for some common conversation topic.

"Is this some kind of interrogation Lt.?" Faye asked in a purring tone while sitting up on the edge of her oak chair, and began lazily swirling her flawless manicured finger around the rim of her cooled coffee mug. Datsun noticed a single shiny gold band on her ring finger that gleamed in the light as she swirled her finger around the coffee mug. Datsun smirked a crooked grin and leaned back into his sturdy oak chair like Faye did before.

"Hardly, I just wanna know some things about him is all." Datsun said in a drowsy tone. Faye sighed happily, she loved the sound of his soothing male voice, It sounded just like Gren's voice. Faye began tapping on the glass rim of the coffee mug, the chiming sound rung over the whole apartment. Datsun observed Faye closely, she was so beautiful, there was not one flaw on her. Datsun looked more down south, he noticed her full breast pushed together in her fitting midnight black nightgown as she sat up on the table. He quickly looked away.

"Just what kind of things would you like to know Lt?" Faye asked tilting her head slightly to the side as if she was as young teenage school girl trying to act sexy.

"Just things, like how you knew him for one?" Datsun sat up in his chair mimicking Faye. Faye gave a soft chuckle, and took a sip of her now cold coffee. Faye much more preferred cold coffee to hot, it was always one of her many quirks. Faye smiled lightly back Datsun.

"How much time do you have Lt.?" Faye asked teasingly. Datsun smiled brightly knowing that she was actually going to reveal her story to him.

"All the time in the world." Datsun replied leaning back once again in his sturdy oak chair. Faye let out a lazy sigh. Was she prepared to reveal her past about Spike? Especially revealing it to a Lt.? That didn't sound too appealing. Faye contemplated telling him or not for a while, Datsun noticed her hesitant look.

"I can tell that your past with him is not exactly a happy one." Datsun said in a matter or fact tone. Faye laughed. 'Yeah, no shit sherlock.' Faye said laughingly in her head.

"It's always best to talk to someone about it sometimes, I bet you haven't talked about it to anyone since it happened?" Faye was going to say a come back, but shut her mouth when she realized that he was right. She hasn't talked to anyone about it, no one on Earth knew about her past, no one really knew that she was there anyway, which brought up a thought.

"Hey! How did you find me in the first place, and how did you know that I knew Spi..." Faye covered her mouth when she almost said his profound name. It was still hard for her to even pronounce that word, let alone speak about it. Datsun merely blinked slowly and smiled.

"Two people referred me to you, saying that you would know Spike better than any of them, you might remember them, a Mr. Jet Black, and Ed? They own a ship called the Bebop? Peculiar kid that Ed." Datsun laughed remembering how strange Ed was. A slow smile spread across Faye's gorgeous face, she completely forgot about Jet and Ed, she realized how much she had missed them when she heard their wonderful names.

"Oh.. How.. How are they?" Faye asked curiously in a soft hesitant voice. Datsun smiled, and drank a sip of his freezing cold coffee, Datsun grimaced as he felt freezing sensation rush into his mouth, he quickly put the coffee mug down in disgust.

"They are good, from what I can see, it seemed that they missed you a lot by the way they talked about you, especially that Ed person, she said that she misses her Faye-Faye." Datsun said calmly still trying to get rid of the bitter taste the cold coffee left on his tongue. Faye hung her head in shame, she felt a rush of guilt overcome her. She felt awful for leaving the Bebop, and moving to Earth.

"I never wanted to leave the Bebop, but I just couldn't take it anymore, too many memories were on that ship, I had to escape." Faye continued to hang her head low as the heavy guilt still burdened her small shoulders. Datsun gave a sorrowful sigh, he felt awful for bringing up the obviously sad subject for Faye.

"Hey, I'm sure that they understand why you left, they sounded like they did." Datsun said reassuringly. Faye lifted up her sorrow filled head, and gave the slightest smile back at Datsun's reassuringly smile. She still felt sad for leaving, but she didn't want Datsun to feel sorry for bringing it up.

"Eh, what's in the past is in the past I guess." Faye lied as she shrugged her squared shoulders. Datsun, subconsciously, lifted up his cold coffee to take another sip of his coffee, but quickly put the coffee down when he remembered that it was freezing cold. Faye laughed heartily at Datsun's actions.

"Would you like some more hot coffee?" Faye asked nicely while pulling out her chair to get up. Datsun hastily shook his head no.

"No, no, I am fine, a couple sips of coffee is good enough for me." Datsun reassured Faye in a pleasant tone. Faye nodded her head gracefully and scooted her chair back under the giant oak table. Faye gingerly laced her delicate fingers together, and put them under her chin for support on the table again. Datsun mimicked.

Faye's dark violet long locks cascaded around her delicate face. She looked like a angel sent down from the heavens because god thought she made the heavens look ghastly compared to her. Faye observed Datsun's handsome facial features, he had a sort of scruffy look about him. It also looked like he hadn't a decent nights sleep in such a long time, he's probably been looking for 'him' for a long time. Datsun smiled widely back at Faye from the other end of the table with his fingers laced together underneath his chin.

"So tell me Faye, what happened?" Datsun asked Faye nicely. Faye closed her eyes and took a deep a deep breath of fresh air, the smell of old coffee refreshed her senses. Faye glanced at the large round clock that hung on the wall just above Datsun's head. The small hand pointed at the gold bolded 6, and the large hand pointed to the 9. ' 6:45 p.m' Faye thought to herself. That time would always haunt Faye for the rest of her life.

"6:45 p.m" Faye said lightly with a soft huff of breath that followed shortly after. Datsun glanced at the clock behind him, it read 6:45 like Faye said. Datsun turned back around to Faye and gave her a strange gaze as if she was something sort of mysterious thing.

"Yeah, what does that have to do with anything?" Datsun asked Faye questioningly. Faye gave a slight chuckle of amusement at Datsun's bewildered state.

"This is the same exact month, day, and time he left 3 years ago this day, what a coincidence huh Lt.?" Faye smiled back at Datsun as his eyes went wide. Faye sighed deeply, her shoulders raised slightly up and down as she took a deep breath in relaxing her body. Datsun watched her with complete fascination, she looked so beautiful. Faye untangled her delicate fingers that were under her chin and leaned back once again in her sturdy oak chair. She was ready to tell her tale of a Mr. Spike Spiegel...

"Spike Spiegel, now there's a name that you can't forget." Faye said with a low slow alluring voice. Faye felt relieved to finally say that name after 3 years, she's been forcing herself to not even utter those syllables. Datsun leaned forward and stared back at Faye intensively following every word that flowed out of her mouth.

"It took me so long to try to forget all about that name, I don't even know where to begin about him." Faye said with a frown, she fixated on all her precious pictures that were kept on mantle beside her. Datsun looked back at the pictures beside him as well. There were no pictures of Faye looking like she did at that exact moment. Faye looked so sad, all of the pictures of her were so beautiful, there wasn't one picture of her that she was frowning in.

"Why don't you start from the very beginning, how did you meet him Faye?" Datsun asked while turning his piercing gaze back on to Faye ravishing face. Faye's beautiful smile slowly crept back onto her face, and she stared back into Datsun's shining light blue eyes.

"I met him in a casino, It's quite a funny story really. I was working for a man who required a chip from some guy who was supposed to sit down at my Black Jack table and loose all of his money to me, and give me his last chip as a tip." Faye chuckled as she played the memory in her head again. Datsun smiled brightly as he watched Faye's face light up again.

"Well, it just so happened that a Mr. Spike Spiegel sat down at my table, he looked the man who was supposed to deliver the chip, so I just played along as planned. I cheated the whole time of course I was notorious for that. Towards the end Spike lost all of his money till the very last chip as planned. I reached out my hand for the chip, but he said, 'Oh well, I've lost all my money, I think I'll just be holding on to this chip', and he walked away taking the chip with him! I didn't know what was going on, he was supposed to give me the chip, so I went after him. I finally caught up to him, and said "Hey! You were supposed to give me that chip." Faye chuckled as she replayed it for Datsun.

"Spike said I was pretty rash considering that I cheated the whole time. I couldn't believe that Spike actually noticed, no one ever did before, I never lost a game in my entire life."

"I know, you have quite the record Queen of Hearts." Datsun laughed. Faye blinked at him in shock, how in the world did he know about her nickname? A slow smile slid across Faye's beautiful face, when she realized that he was an ISSP cop, he could of easily looked at her old records.

"You do your homework Lt. But I've long since retired from that name, perhaps even changed, I'm not the same Faye Valentine a.k.a Queen- of- Hearts that I once was." Faye exclaimed, Datsun smiled. Faye yawned loudly and carefully stretched out her long slender neck.

Faye was right, she looked almost completely different. Faye no longer wore her usual yellow revealing, some might even call it "hooker" clothes anymore, she was much more conservative now, except for the fact that she was wearing her midnight black nightgown and pink robe at the moment. Faye's short hair now grew out to be slightly curly long locks of silky violet hair that cascaded down her face and her back. Faye wore less make- up now, but still looked as beautiful as ever. Even though Faye had changed, her emerald blue eyes were still as gorgeous as ever. Spike always said that her eyes were the most beautiful thing about her, and that he fell in love with those eyes first overall.

"As I was saying, I told Spike to give me the chip, but he swallowed it! He actually swallowed it!" Faye said with a hearty booming laugh, Datsun laughed as well. "I couldn't believe that he actually swallowed the chip, he was so hotheaded." Faye let out a sigh after all her laughter, a soft precious smile still remained of her face.

"I loved that about him though, god what that man could do to me." Faye said with a weepy sigh. Datsun stared attentively at Faye, as Faye's wonderful bright smile began to fade away from her beautiful face.

"Go on." Datsun urged Faye to continue her story. Faye's bright smile began to slowly creep back on her face as she heard Datsun's words to make her go on. So many memories flashed through Faye's weary head as she talked about her past.

"Well, as you can image the guy I was working for didn't exactly like the fact that Spike had just swallowed the chip, so he began to go after me and Spike. To make a long story short, I just so happened to run into Spike and his partner Jet again, and they captured me." Faye laughed her booming laugh again, Datsun gave a small chuckle, and rested his head against his palm.

"They eventually let me go, but I had no where else to go, so I became a bounty hunter on the Bebop." Faye simply said while resting her head against her palm like Datsun did.

"Did they want you to be a part of their crew?" Datsun asked while looking at the pictures beside him, he saw short haired Faye standing next to a ship hull which what Datsun guessed was the Bebop.

"Oh god no, they absolutely did not want me on the ship, especially Spike he hated me so much, but I was pretty relentless, and eventually got my way." Faye said while throwing her long violet hair back over her shoulders. Datsun sighed as she threw her long hair back over her shoulders, he loved the way the long curls cascaded around her face. Datsun looked at the picture of Faye by the Bebop with Jet, and Ed, but where was Spike?

"Where's Spike in this picture?" Datsun asked curiously as he picked up the thin black wooden picture frame of Faye, Jet, and Ed. Faye glanced at it, and quickly frowned

"He's taking the picture. Spike was never big on being in photographs." Faye said softly and turned her head away as the picture was some sort of revolting creature

"You don't have any pictures of him?" Datsun asked wondering while still looking at the photograph. Faye slowly shook her delicate head no.

"Nope, just my memories." Faye said softly and looked at Datsun. He looked so much like Spike at the moment. The soft chandelier light softly highlighted his green tinted puffy hair, his eye brows were knitted together as he looked at the pictures, and his smile, that beautiful smile was exactly like his.

"You look a lot like him you know." Faye said silently gently tilting her head to the side as she observed his features. Datsun's eyes wondered over to Faye's emerald eyes.

"But then again, after a while everybody looked a lot like Spike to me. I would sometimes see him walking down the street, or his face in a window, but as time went on and on he started to fade away, I haven't thought about him for a long time until you came along."

Datsun set the wooden picture frame back onto the mantle piece, and inhaled a fresh breath of the cool air that hung over them. He noticed the way Faye talked about Spike in that weepy sort of way, did she love Spike?

"Did you love Spike?" Datsun asked curiously. Faye raised her eyebrows and began to softly giggle. 'Did it really take you that long to figure it out?' Faye asked herself in her head.

"So, you finally figured it out." Faye said in a light sarcastic tone. Datsun nodded his head along as he finally put two and two together from all of what Faye had told him.

"It makes a lot of since why you left the Bebop now, and was so hurt when Spike left. I thought you said that Spike hated you though?" Datsun asked in confusion. Faye slowly blinked and inhaled that same cool night air that hung above them.

"Spike, hated me, and I hated him, but somehow over time it eventually turned into a sort of friendship, then dependence, and then love. Spike and I went through countless battles together, and we always were there for each other, always by each others sides." Faye finished and sighed remembering all those precious memories that they had.

A couple of minutes passes until Datsun reached into his pocket and pulled out a 6 pack of Rito Lento's cool cigaret's. Faye's breath was caught in her throat, and her heart leapt. Datsun slowly brought the pack up to his mouth and smoothly slid a delicious cigaret with the tip of his lips. Faye watched his every move in fascination, as that cigaret was placed on his gentle lips.

Faye quit smoking a while back, she never felt the craving to have one for a while, but now watching Datsun bring that delicious smoke to his mouth made her entire mouth water and crave for it's heavenly taste.

Datsun, oblivious to Faye's obvious amazed stare, reached into his outside pockets of his pants and pulled out a bright silver zippy lighter, undid the clasp, flicked, and lit, he brought it to the tip of his cigaret and was about to light it when he noticed Faye staring at him with an open mouth gaze as she slowly lick her lips.

"I'm sorry, do you mind if I smoke?" Datsun asked curiously as he let go off his lighter and put it on the table. Faye snapped out of her trance as she heard that cold silver metal hit the wooden table with a soft clap.

"Oh no, I don't mind, it's just that I quit smoking a long time ago, and the sight of it just makes me crave it is all." Faye's eyes watched every move the cigaret made as his lips moved. Datsun nodded and brought the cool silver lighter back up to his lips again and lit the end of the cigaret.

Faye sighed deeply, she missed the taste so much. Datsun took a long drag, and blew the sweet smelling smoke into the cold night air. The smell instantly hit Faye's sensitive senses, Faye closed her eyes and inhaled deeply the sweet scent as it drifted by her. Datsun put the cigaret back into his mouth, and held up the carton of cigarets to Faye.

"Would you like one Faye?" Datsun asked sweetly knowing that she was craving one so badly at the moment. Faye eyed the sweet cigaret in the carton cautiously. 'Should I? It's just one cigaret, it won't hurt , besides after he's gone there will be no more cigaret's in the house.' Faye slowly nodded a hesitant yes, and Datsun slid the carton of cigaret's and the silver lighter across the table to Faye's outstretched hand.

Faye slowly took out one sweet thin cigaret out of the carton. She loved the way that the thin cigaret fit nicely in-between her two delicate fingers. She slowly brought the cigaret to her full lips, she could taste the sweet paper of the cigaret on the tip of her tongue. Faye picked up the silver metal zippy lighter, opened the top clasp and flicked the switch on the side, the light blue and orange flame lit up her face, as she brought the flame to the tip of her cigaret. Datsun watched her with allurement. As soon as the flame hit the cigaret a rush of memories came flooding back to her, memories of how she used to be, the Bebop, countless card games, drinking in bars, and most of all how her and Spike would stay up late in each others arms after sex and smoke those delicious cigaret's. Faye took the longest drag Datsun have ever seen, she loved the taste that it brought back to her senses 'god, how much I have missed you.' Faye thought to herself.

Faye inhaled till she couldn't inhale anymore, she let out a long stream of pure grey smoke. Datsun smiled and took another drag of his lighted cigaret. Faye studied the cigaret in between her two fingers with a smile on her face.

"Pretty good huh?" Datsun asked Faye with a beautiful smile on his face. Faye nodded conforming while taking in another long drag.

"God, how I've missed it so much." Faye replied in a low enticing voice, as Faye blew out her smoke once more. Datsun noticed a gleaming gold band that flickered in the light, it was around Faye's wedding finger. Datsun wondered..

"Did Spike give you that ring?" Datsun said nodding towards her ring. Faye glanced at the gold band on her wedding finger, and laughed heartily. The breath of her laugh blew the smoke all around her as she laughed hardly. Datsun however, did not think it was very funny, whatever the joke was, he sure didn't get it. Faye's laughs began to calm as she saw Datsun blank look waiting for her to stop laughing. Faye cleared her throat as she realized that she was being dumb.

"No, Spike would have never in a million years propose to me, he was afraid of commitment of course, we were together for 3 years and the thought probably never crossed his mind. I sometimes think that he was only with me for the sex." Faye said with a mournful sigh.

"Did you want to get married?" Datsun asked while taking another smooth drag from his half way done cigaret. Datsun noticed Faye's well developed body, she was scorching hot from head to toe, she wasn't too thin, and she wasn't too fat, she was shapely in every spot. Datsun understood why men would want her just for sex. Faye let out a wearied sigh.

"At the time I did, but looking back, I realized that it was best that we didn't."

"Did you want a family?" Datsun asked softly tapping off the ashes into his cold coffee mug. Faye threw her head back to look up at the white ceiling above, she took another long drag from her delicious cigaret. The grey smoke slowly began to fill the room with a grey haze.

"I did, but Spike hated children, so I knew that it was impossible." Faye said sadly while lifting her sullen head back up. Datsun sighed, if Faye wanted a family that bad then why did she stay with him?

"Why did you stay with him when you knew that you couldn't have a family with him?" Datsun plainly asked. Faye smiled widely, and flicked her full length ashes into her cold coffee mug.

"You know It's funny how many things you are willing to sacrifice for love, I would've given up anything just to be near Spike, and that included family."

Faye's cigaret was beginning to softly start to fade away in the cold grey misty air surrounding them. There was a long awkward silence between them. Faye stared down at her flawless gold ring on her wedding finger, and smiled.

"You still haven't answered my question Faye." Datsun stated making Faye jump out of her trance of staring lovingly at her shining gold ring. Faye looked confused, she didn't know what Datsun was talking about.

"What?" Was all Faye said.

"Who gave you that ring?" Datsun pointed to her wedding finger once more. Faye looked down upon the shining gold ring once again, and smiled widely.

"My fiancee." Faye simply said with her chin held high. Datsun nodded slowly waiting for a more detailed information then just my fiancee.

"So, who's your fiancee? How did you meet him?" Datsun began to ask. Faye chuckled lightly as she put out her old cigaret in her cold coffee mug, and took out another cigaret from Datsun's packet of cigarets in front of her. Faye lit her cigaret, and threw the pack and lighter back over to Datsun. Datsun did the same as Faye.

"My my Lt. you just want to know every single detail about my life now don't you?" Faye asked in a sweet girly voice, while blowing fresh new cigaret smoke. Datsun smiled smugly.

"You have an interesting life Faye Valentine, I would like to know more about it." Datsun said while taking a fresh drag from his brand new cigaret just as Faye did. Faye continued.

"Well, after Spike left I was a complete wreck, didn't get out of my room for at least 2 months, I stopped eating, stopped talking, Jet tried so hard to make me happy again, but it just wouldn't work. On one not very special day, I cracked, I couldn't take it anymore, I had to get as far away from there as I could, so I moved to Earth to try and start a new life without Bounty Hunting, without the Bebop, and without Spike..." Faye sighed deeply.

"My move to Earth didn't go so well, I had no place to stay except for my ship, no money except some that Jet gave me, I ended up living like a bum. I started playing cards again just to earn enough money to buy some food, and I hated it so much, especially I hated Spike for doing this to me, I blamed him for all my problems." Tears started to threaten to drop from the corners of Faye's beautiful emerald green eyes.

"I ended up living like this for a little over a year, and then one day fate found me. I was drinking in a bar one night, trying to drink all my problems away, when he walked into to my life." A slow smile started to spread across Faye's beautiful face, her sad tears began to turn into happy ones.

"He introduced himself to me, gave me a place to stay, and the rest is history." Faye plainly said with a bright smile.

"This is your fiancee's apartment?" Datsun asked while looking around the place, it looked so wonderful to be a man's apartment. Faye slowly nodded as she took another large smoke of her cigaret.

"I've been living here for over 2 years now, and I'm finally happy for once in my life." Faye lied. She knew that she was at her happiest when she was with Spike. Faye sighed a bright sigh and put her second cigaret out in her cold coffee mug along with the other first burnt out cigaret.

"But what about Spike? Don't you still love him?" Datsun asked while putting out his second cigaret in his cold coffee mug as well. Faye squinted her eyes, and glared at Datsun.

"Love turns into something different when it's walking out the door my dear Lt." Faye said in a soft bitter tone. Datsun was a bit taken back by Faye's venomous tone, but let it go. Faye lightly shrugged her squared shoulders, and laid gently back onto the support of the large oak chair forgetting all about it. Faye glanced at the clock just above Datsun's heavy head, it was exactly 10:00 p.m. they had been talking for over 4 hours. 'My how time flies' Faye said to herself.

"Your wife must be wondering where you are Lt." Faye said with a wide smile spread across her glorious face. Datsun's wide smile quickly turned into a mournful frown. Faye's wide smile quickly turned into a frown like Datsun's when she realized that this was a sad subject.

"Can't imagine why she would.... she's dead." Datsun said plainly with no expression. Faye's eyes quickly darted away from Datsun's baby blue eyes. She couldn't force herself to make eye contact with Datsun, she could feel his sad eyes watching her intently.

"...I'm...I'm.. Sorry.. I didn't know..." Faye said with a soft angel like voice. Datsun's full pouty lips made a slight crooked grin, and sighed.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. It happened three years ago, and just like you, I am moving on." Datsun said in a monotone voice while exhaling the rest of his grey smoke, and throwing his second cigaret in his cold coffee. Faye continued to avoid eye contact with Datsun, she couldn't bare to see his sad eyes, they reminded her so much of Spike's. Datsun could tell that Faye wanted to know how she died, and Datsun wasn't hesitant on telling her.

"She was shot." Datsun's voice wavered as he said those immortal words. Those words struck Faye hard in the heart. 'How awful' Faye said to herself. The sound of light rain began to drop around them, the sound of the soft patter of rain filled the cold room. Faye guessed after all the time they were talking the clouds have must started to form, because when she was outside early there was nothing but blue skies.

A long silence fell among the two heartbroken people. There was so much sadness that revolved around their lives. Why couldn't anyone ever be just happy? Faye could feel Datsun's cold baby blue eyes focus back on to her, she still couldn't make eye contact.

"Please look at me.." Datsun demanded softly. Faye's eyes widened.

"I don't need you to feel sorry for me."

The rain began to fall softer as Faye slowly brought her bright emerald green eyes to bestow upon Datsun's baby blue ones. Datsun could see himself reflect in those bright green eyes, and all his sadness floated away. Datsun inhaled a long breath of smoke, coffee, rain, and Faye all in at once, and smiled beautifully once again.

"You have beautiful eyes Faye Valentine, don't ever hide them." A slow beautiful smile began to slip back onto Faye's ravishing face. A hundred questions were swelling up Faye's head. She wanted to know everything that happened to Datsun's wife, but she knew that she couldn't bring up such a obviously mournful subject.
"You have her smile you know." Datsun chuckled as he saw Faye's wonderful eyes widened.
"God, she was so beautiful, beautiful eyes, not as beautiful as yours I might add, but she was definitely second." Faye smiled brightly at his compliment.

"She had these beautiful piercing dark blue eyes that just captured you in a dream that you never wake up from, long silky hair that always smelled like strawberries." Datsun said in a mesmerizing tone. Faye exhaled slowly as she listened intently to every word that flowed from Datsun's soft lips. It felt like some sort of song when he talked about his wife. 'She must of been so beautiful.'

"And those..." There was a long pause as tears began to threaten to drop from Datsun's cold blue eyes. Faye saw those tears began to well up in his eyes, and her tears as well began to threaten to drop. Datsun bit his bottom lip and continued.

"And those... those lips...there was a whole other world in those lips." A single tear began to slowly make it's way down Datsun's cold cheek, so did Faye's. Another single tear fell slowly down Datsun opposite cheek. Faye stared intently back at Datsun with watering eyes. Datsun sniffed, and wiped the single tear furiously away with the back of his hand.

"I blamed myself for a while. I kept on thinking that if I had walked a little bit faster, or hadn't stopped at the flower store, then she would still be in my arms." Datsun snorted.

"It's amazing how a 2 second difference can change your life forever..... I could of been there.... I could of stopped it!" Datsun yelled a banged his angry fist hard against the solid oak table. Faye jumped up startled as Datsun slammed his fist against the cold table..The loud bang rang through out the apartment. Faye's fat tubby cat perked it's head up surprised by the loud bang, but soon yawned widely and laid it's head back down.

Faye sat motionless in her big oak chair. She didn't know what to do or what to say to make Datsun feel any better except to say nothing at all. She stared back at him with soft emerald green eyes. Datsun was now the one who couldn't bare to look into Faye's emerald green eyes. He felt so ashamed to express himself his feelings to someone, and to frighten Faye in such a barbaric way.

"I'm sorry Faye...I just got a little caught up..." Datsun apologized in a low faltering voice. Faye shook her beautiful head lightly, her beautiful long violet curly locks swayed with her head.

"It's alright, I felt like that for a while too...If only I paid a little more attention to him, or loved him even more than he would of never of left me." Faye smiled lightly trying to make Datsun feel better. Faye knew that Datsun was in more pain then she would ever be. It must be so difficult to loose someone that you loved that much for such a long time.

"But you can't blame yourself.. You're not the one who pulled the trigger." Datsun's eyes widened at that remark, but then slowly went back to it's normal size.. Faye gave him a curious look. 'Was it something I said?' Faye thought to herself. After several minutes, Datsun composed himself, and finally forced himself to look into Faye's glimmering eyes. Faye stared back at him with a small smile. Datsun knew she was just forcing a smile to try to make him feel better.
"You're right Faye..." Datsun sighed softly letting out all of his frustration in the cold stale air. It still continued to lightly drizzle outside. Faye could hear the loud rain drops from the drains hit the floor loudly, It was so calming to listen to. Datsun closed his eyes and took a loud deep breath in, the sensation of the smell of rain cleared his senses free of any stress.

"I shouldn't blame myself for her death, but I do blame myself for not capturing the man who shot my wife. I blame myself for that." Datsun exclaimed in a stern voice. Faye nodded her head softly and chewed on her smooth bottom lip. Datsun stared off into the living room windows where he could see streams of rain water pour down the windows, and softly fall to the wet ground below

"Perhaps one day you will find him." Faye simply said.

Minutes had passed, and the soft rain still continued to fall. Faye shivered lightly, it was beginning to become very cold in the apartment. Faye brought her baby pink robe closely around her body, covering her revealing silk midnight black nightgown. Datsun frowned.

"Looks like the rain isn't going to let up anytime soon." Datsun said in a cheery tone trying to make the atmosphere a little less depressing. Faye looked at the living room windows behind her, and turned back around.

"It's only a light drizzle, it'll go away soon." Faye replied back. She was still sullen from their long talk about such depressing pasts. It seemed like everyone in the world had such terrible past, but I guess that's how life goes sometimes.

The rain continued to fall, and the two heartbroken and lonely lovers sat across from each other in their giant oak chairs. Datsun hated to see Faye look so sad , she was so beautiful when her face was lit up and happy. Datsun sighed at the fact knowing that he had caused her to be so sad, he was the one who brought up her past with Spike, and told her about how his wife died.

"Faye, I am sorry... I shouldn't of came here to ask you about Spike." Datsun apologized. Faye gave him a sideways glance, and chuckled making her bright green eyes lit up like two precious gems again.

"It's perfectly alright Lt. It's your job anyway.. And you were right.. It did feel better to talk to some one about it." Faye said with a smile. Datsun sighed a sigh of relief, he knew that she was going to be okay about this now, and not regret it later.

A couple minutes more had passed, Faye glanced at the clock that hung just right above Datsun's head, it was now exactly midnight. Faye's eyes began to droop as the hours were taking an effect on her. Datsun yawned widely and tapped his mouth as the sleepiness was overcoming him.

"Faye?"..Datsun softly asked... Faye slightly opened one almost half closed eye.

"There's something you forgot to mention." Faye's other eye opened right at the same level as the other one. Faye peered at Datsun who now had on a serious face. The rain began to pour a little more harder now, and a tiny roll of thunder boomed in the distance.

"Why....why..did Spike leave you?" Faye's eyes widened, she definitely didn't want to bring up that bit of information back up, but then again what was stopping her? There was nothing to hide anymore, since she told her story, and why stop now?'

"Well... he left me for his ex- girlfriend." Faye said in a soft hesitant voice.. Datsun's eye brows lifted slightly. There was a sudden thunder clap and the lights flashed quickly. Both Faye and Lt. Datsun glanced up at the flickered lights, and looked strangely back at each other.

"What happened? Why?" Datsun asked curiously in a small demanding tone. Faye shrugged her shoulders, and sighed.

"Well, he got a message from her one day, and left about 2 hours after that, and never came back." The rain began to fall even more louder now.

"What's her name Faye?" Datsun asked curiously in a demanding sort of voice. Datsun was acting strangely, he was so demanding, so curious.. The pure driving rain was pouring at it's hardest now.

"Some lady named.. Julia.." Faye simply said as she stared back at Datsun.... Datsun's eyes widened largely as he heard that immortal word... Faye looked curiously back at a shocked Datsun. 'Why is he so socked?' Faye thought to herself in her perplexed head.

"Wha..What? What's wrong?" Faye asked curiously.. Datsun quickly snapped back into reality as he heard Faye's soft angelic voice. Datsun was about to respond to Faye's question, but stopped when there was a sudden turn of the doorknob..

Someone was coming in......
