After weeks of franticly searching for the mysterious Gren Jr. on Earth, Hakkai was ready to accept the fact that they will never find him. But Faye wasn't giving up that easily.
"Come on Faye we been here for what it seems like years, can we please go back to Mars now?" whined Hakkai.
"No way we're to close to give up now." said a determined Faye.
"Yeah right, so far all we accomplish was false leads, us having no money, and me dying of starvation."
As much as Faye hated to admit it, Faye too was starving and having no money didn't help too much, but still she felt like she had to find and capture this guy.
"Hey Hakkai I'll make you a deal, how about we stay here for one more week then if we still tend to have no luck we'll head back to Mars, okay?"
"Fine by me but what are we going to do for food and money?" asked Hakkai.
"Leave that to me."

"It's been two whole months you would've thought that those two would've bag the guy by now" Jet said to himself. "I mean it's not like I sent them to capture the head of the syndicate now… But I guess I can't complain when dealing with those two. I'm kinda surprise they went to earth at all especially Faye she usually ready to chew my head when I ask her for favors …but she did seem kind of out of it."
"You know they say talking to yourself is the first sign of growing old."
"Well I guess I'm an old man then. Wait a sec-."
Jet jump up realizing he was not alone in his apartment. Looking around he pick up the gun sitting on the table next to him.
"Alright tough guy, I got a gun and I'm not afraid to use it so come out with your hands up."
"Well I can't argue with that" said the person as it came out of hiding.
There Jet saw that it was indeed a young woman that had intruded his home and not a bad looking one at that. She had a long slender body with curves for days. Her long black hair was pulled neatly back into a ponytail while her bangs dance above her beautiful big greenish- brown eyes. She looked to be at least in her early twenties.
"Who are you?" Jet question the intruder.
"The name's Ayame, but you may call me the 'Black Cat'" said Ayame while striking a pose.
"Uh, the 'Black cat'?" Jet asked the very strange girl.
"What you think that's not a good name?" asked Ayame. "Okay, how about the 'Black knight' or the 'Dark Angel' or better yet the 'Avenger'? Or maybe I should stick to black since my hair is black or maybe I should stick to my nick name but what fun would that be or I could use Ayame but you real name can't be your real name and you nick name can it ? Or maybe-."
Jet stared at the strange girl go on and on trying to figure out what to call herself. It was funny but she kinda reminded him of Ed only difference was that she was a bit older.
"Uh, excuse me if I may intrude but what are you doing here?" Jet asked Ayame.
"Huh? Oh yeah, silly me I almost forgot well the truth is…I have a problem and a friend of mine said that you might help" Ayame said with a smile.
"A friend?"
"Yeah goes by the name of Ed."
" I should've known. So what's your problem?"
"Oh don't worry about that I'll tell you when the time is right but for now can you please put the gun down."
"Oh yeah sorry about that," Jet said as he lowered the gun "but I don't see how I will be able to help you I can give you a place to stay and some food but that's it"
"Ooo, really you would do that for Ayame. Yay! Thanks a bundle Jet I promise I'll be on my best behavior while I'm here." Ayame said while waling over to Jet precious bonsai tree.
"Hey what's this?" Ayame said while poking at it.
"Hey! don't touch th-" Jet screamed.
"Oops!" Ayame said while looking at the bonsai tree and its broken pot on the floor. "Sorry about that."
"Why me."

Sigh
"What's taking Faye so long? I really could use something to eat."
Hakkai had been waiting for Faye for what it seem like days but realistically it was only about five hours. And he couldn't take it any longer.
"That's it Ineed some food now."
And with that Hakkai left the cold and clammy apartment that Hakkai and Faye had rented. And just as his luck would have it in popped Faye an hour later with a pocket full of money and a bag full of food.
"Hakkai I'm here!" Faye yelled to an empty apartment.
"Hakkai? Hakkai? Hakkai where the hell are you?"
Just then the door bell rang and the way it was being constantly pushed it could be no other than Hakkai.
"It's about time." Faye said as she headed towards the door to open it. "The food beginning to get c-."
At that moment Faye saw it wasn't Hakkai but no other than Spike the last thing she wanted to see.
"Why are you here?" Faye spat out as if she had a bad taste in her month.
"We need to talk Faye" Spike said as he shoves his way into the apartment not caring if he was invited or not.
"But I have nothing to say to you so you might as well leave right now."
"Your not getting rid of me that easily. We really need to talk Faye.
Faye grew tired of trying to get Spike to leave her alone, for she didn't want to face him. Not yet. He put her though too much and hurt her to badly that she began to resent him entirely. Even if deep inside she knew she still cares for him a part of her wanted him to suffer the way the she did. A part of her wanted revenge.
"Fine Spike you wanna talk lets talk. Let's talk about how you let the syndicate run your life. Or how you were stupid enough to get caught up with a woman that didn't even belong to you. Or better yet my favorite one how you went on a suicide mission to avenge that stupid bitch that you call a lover Julia. Hmm? Spike lets talk about that."
"You shouldn't talk about shit you don't understand."
"No I understand Spike. I understand you were a fool then and you're a fool now to think I would let you back in my life so easily after all you did to me."
Spike began to laugh.
"And what exactly did I do to you?"
'Is he laughing at me!' Faye thought to herself. That's what finally took Faye over the edge.
"SPIKE, YOU BASTARD!" Faye screamed as her hand made contact with his face leaving him with quite a mark. The smiling and laughing was wipe awaybut now replace with an most unpleasant facial expression.
"I'm sorry that you got hurt in my problems with the syndicate but the truth is that it never concern you to begin with. Maybe if you stop being a bitter old bitch you would see that and get on with your sad and miserable life and stop blaming me for being in the slums now." Spike snarled.
"How dare you say those things to me, especially saying it doesn't concern me. It concern me every bit!"
"And why's that Faye!" Spike yelled growing tired of her bickering.
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!"
"Well I'm sorry but I can't say I feel the same."
