Faye felt something wet on her hand and she pulled away from Gren. She
looked down and then saw the gun shot. Shaking her head she got up and
looked around.
"Gren where's the bathroom? I need to clean your wound."
"Down the hallway and to the left," he called out.
Looking in the bathroom Faye found some tweezers, scissors, a needle and some thread, and sterile gauze. She walked out and placed it down on the little table in the center of the room. Looking around she found a bottle of bourbon and grabbed it.
"What are you going to do?" he asked watching as Faye dipped both the scissors and tweezers in the liquor.
"Relax I'm only going to clean it, make sure the bullet isn't stuck in there and then wrap it up. You don't have to be a baby about it."
He pouted and opened his shirt. Faye gasped and stared at his chest.
"Oh yeah ummm--- I lost the boobs."
She couldn't believe it. Gren didn't have his women parts anymore.
She shoved her face up to his chest and poked it. Testing she looked up at him and then twisted his nipple. She still couldn't believe it and twisted the other one.
" OWWW! They are real Faye. My nipples are real, could you please stop twisting them?"
"Sorry," she muttered.
She pulled off Gren's shirt and started working. The bullet had just grazed the skin but it was bleeding profusely. She poured some bourbon on the wound and heard Gren wince. She started cleaning it and then wrapped the gauze around his ribs. After she was done she got up to put everything away and Gren stopped her.
"Sit down Faye," he said.
"Let me just put this stuff away," she answered back.
"Please?"
She sat down next to him and he watched her for a while. Finally he started talking.
"After I went to go see Vicious he had shot me down. Spike had come to save me but it seemed too late. I had internal bleeding and it looked like I was going to die soon so I asked him to take me to Titan. He did. On my way there I accidentally met up with Julia." Faye's eyes narrowed and she pushed herself farther away from him.
"She saved my life. Well afterwards I woke up on Ganymede and I didn't have THEM anymore. I know it had something to do with Vicious. I know it. He was the only one that could've done something like this. I hunted him out for a while and then found out that Spike had killed him. I contacted Spike on Mars and we talked for a while. I work for the Syndicate now."
She stared at him. He would never change would he? How could he have survived what he had? It made absolutely no fucking sense.
"So you're in line with Spike now?"
"Faye--"
"NO! I thought you had learned your lesson already. Don't go and tell me that you aren't afraid to die because you're a fucking liar if you say that again. Everybody is afraid of death. Gren I want you alive. I want to spend time with you here, not in a fucking grave."
Gren just stared at her. She had been so lost for the longest time and now meeting Gren, finding him had really blown her out of the water.
"I know what they did to you Gren."
He quirked an eyebrow and stared at her. What the hell?
"Why you don't have your woman parts, I know why. See back on Earth before the Gate disaster doctors were developing a new medicine. They shipped it out to all the prisons for testing. That's when the disaster happened and I was in the "sleep". Supposedly doctors predicted that the drug would help calm down prison mates, ends up that it was far from that. Then they stopped using it for a while. Then they start testing this other addictive drug and you got chosen. You grow the boobs and your hormones go crazy. The drug from earth is what they gave you to loose the breasts. The structure of the drug reverses the effect of the one that sent your hormones out of bounce. The drug was called Metrolicaline."
Faye bowed her head and waited for him to answer or say something. Nothing came and she was getting worried. She raised her eyes and looked at him.
"Where did you get all this information Faye?"
"My father was the man that helped create the drug."
"Is it addictive?"
"From what I know no."
"Are you the only one that knows about this drug?"
"Probably not. I mean I can remember this only because in my box of stuff from my past the papers and reports about the drug where in there. I don't remember anything else about my past. Nothing. I don't remember my brother, mother, father. But life ain't fair is it?"
"I have to tell Spike about this."
"What!?"
"I need to Faye. If people get a hold of this drug--"
"Gren you can't tell him anything."
"Faye I have too."
"NO!"
She pulled out her Glock and pointed it at him. She wouldn't let him get closer to Spike. He was acting more like him every time he opened his damn mouth.
"Faye,"
She shook her head and the tears started spilling. She collapsed on the ground and sobbed. Faye felt arms encircle her and she pressed herself against Gren's chest. He rocked her back and forth and slowly she felt herself falling asleep.
