Author's Notes: I do not own any Cowboy Bebop.
Faye walked out of her room and entered the living area where Ed was still mumbling noises while Ein watched her. Shaking her head Faye walked out of the Bebop and then to the dock, she walked over toward the town.
Picking up her stride she tried to make her way through the crowd as they pushed against her going to the other way. 'I need more cigarettes anyways...' she thought to herself as she made her way over toward a little liquor store.
As she got closer she noticed it wasn't exactly very clean looking, but you can't judge a book by its cover. As she walked into the store she thought to herself, 'Sometimes it is better to judge...' She noticed that the place looked like a tornado went threw it but she ignored it and went to the counter and leaned on it waiting for the owner.
After maybe 10 minutes she lifted her elbow off the counter and felt something sticky on it, she was afraid to look so she slowly used her other hand wiped some off. 'It's warm...' she thought to herself and raised her hand up to look at it. "Blood..." she whispered to herself.
Slowly walking around the other side she saw the owner lying on the ground. There were slashes across his chest and a few on his face, she walked over toward him and kneeled. Placing to fingers on the man's neck she waited for a pulse and felt a very frail one.
Then lifted the man's bloody head onto her lap, she couldn't just leave him here. She began to ask what had happened, the man replied slowly, "This man..." he paused and breathed heavily, "He came in here asking about some people..." he stopped.
"Who?" Faye asked wanting to know.
"He wanted to know..." he paused again feeling himself loosing air every time he spoke, "about a group of people..." Faye felt his pulse drifting away.
"No, hold on – who?" Faye asked anxiously.
"Bebop..." the man whispered and his body went limp.
Faye's eyes were wide; she felt fear creep up and down her spine. Slowly she got up and backed away from the body slowly and stumbled over a few magazines and pop cans that were lying on the ground. She ran out of the store covered in blood, she needed to get back to the Bebop, back to Spike.
After Faye had left her room, Spike followed moments later and caught out of the corner of his eye Faye leaving. Shrugging his shoulders he went back to his spot on the couch that was still warm.
"Where did Faye-Faye go?" Ed asked not looking up from her computer.
"How should I know?" Spike said as he turned the television on.
"I don't know, you were in there with her..." Ed said as she finally looked up with her goggles on, "with the door shut." Ed finished and began to laugh.
Spike rolled his eyes and tried to ignore the constant laughter to the side of him. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps and turned around to find Jet walking in.
"Yo," was all Spike said and turned his attention back to the television.
"Hey," Jet said as he walked over to him and sat down on the couch as well. Looking over to his left he saw Ed sitting there tapping away, "Hello Ed," and then Ein barked, "Ein."
"Hellllllooooo Jet!" Ed yelled as she began to type faster.
"How'd the bounty go?" Spike asked as he flipped through the channels.
"Not so good," Jet said as he placed a hand on his forehead.
"See you did need my help," Spike said sarcastically.
"No, I got it the bounty..." Jet said as he began to watch the television.
"Well then what didn't go right?" Spike asked as he became curious.
"I found some things out when I was looking for that fool, I guess he use to work for the Syndicate." Jet said as he looked at Spike, Spike didn't look back.
"Yeah so?" Spike asked.
"Someone's back in town," Jet said as he began to get up from the couch. Spike's eye narrowed and he looked up at Jet.
"Who?" Spike asked as he also began to get up from the couch, 'Vicious...' Spike's mind whispered.
"Not, Vicious but someone who is almost just as bad as him, maybe worse..." Jet said as he left the room and went to his bonsai trees.
Spike wanted to follow him but suddenly he heard more footsteps and his whipped out his gun and pointed it toward the entrance and found a bloody Faye standing there looking tired and shocked.
"Faye..." Spike whispered and Faye went running toward him.
Faye walked out of her room and entered the living area where Ed was still mumbling noises while Ein watched her. Shaking her head Faye walked out of the Bebop and then to the dock, she walked over toward the town.
