Author's Notes: Do not own CB.
When Faye saw Spike pointing the gun at her, she didn't know what to think. Had something happened while she was gone, had she done something terrible?
'Only one way to find out...' Faye thought to herself as she began to run towards him and saw that he a waited for her with his arms open.
When she hit his chest, he wrapped his arms around her tightly, "What happened?" Spike whispered as he felt his heart beating rapidly.
Faye laid her head on his chest, "I left the ship, and I went to go get some smokes..." Faye said and looked up at him, "after 10 minutes passed I noticed that the store looked like a tornado had went through it but it wasn't a nice looking store anyways so I didn't think much of it at first." Faye paused and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
"I was leaning on the counter and I stood up straight, I felt something on my elbow and I touched it with my other hand and brought it up to my face and it was blood." Faye slowly began to regain her composure, "So then I went around to the other side of the counter and found the clerk almost dead, I went to him and he was still alive but barely. I asked him who had done this to him and he said a man came in there and asked him about some people, and I asked him who and he said...Bebop...and died." Faye said the word Bebop slowly and then rushed the rest of the sentence.
Spike stood there a moment with his arms wrapped around her, suddenly he let go of her and began walking out of the Bebop.
"Spike!" Faye yelled out, "Where are you going?" she asked.
"I'm going to go and try to find out who this creep is, Ed do me a favor and look for the remaining members of the Syndicate, and see if any of them are on this planet." Spike said as he began walking out.
"Yes sir!" Ed yelped and did a salute and began clicking away.
"Wait, Spike I'll come with you," Faye said as she began to walk toward him.
"No! Faye, you stay here and get yourself cleaned up..." Spike said turning around and facing her, "you look like a mess..." he said and then grinned at her leaving the ship.
Faye stood there for a moment with her hands on her hips and her foot tapping, "I can not believe him..." Faye said angrily and walked over into the bathroom to wash up.
Ed tapped wildly on the tomato, while Ein let his spot at her side and jumped onto the empty yellow couch.
Jet walked out into the living area and sat on the couch next to Ein, "What are you looking for Ed?" Jet asked as he brought his face closer to the screen.
"Bad guys!" Ed said never diverting her attention away from the computer.
"Hm..." Jet said as he saw the word Syndicate flash in front of the screen, "I see..." he said.
Faye opened the bathroom door and walked into her room not paying any mind to Jet and Ed.
Shutting her door Faye walked over to her dresser and pulled out a white tank top and a pair of blue jean shorts. Dropping the towel she changed into her out fit, picking up her towel she grabbed her clothes as well and went to the washer and dryer.
Jet watched as Faye silently walked around, getting up he decided he'd ask her what happened. Following her into the washing room he asked, "Are you alright?"
Faye jumped a little at the loudness of his voice and turned around, "Yeah, I'm alright you know. Same ol' same ol'," Faye said trying to sound as happy as she could, but failed miserably.
"Yeah right, so what happened while you were out?" Jet asked curiously.
"Some guy at a liquor store had gotten killed, he had slash marks upon his chest," Faye said sounding a little frightened mentioning the incident once again.
"Yeah, while I was out on that bounty I guess this guy worked for someone in the Syndicate who is supposedly worse then Vicious..." Jet said slowly.
Faye began to shake, not because she was afraid but because she was pissed off, "Why can't people just fucking let go of the past?" Faye yelled as she walked out of the room and into her room again slamming the door shut.
Her mind was clouded with so many thoughts; she thought that maybe her life was going to actually be almost normal. What a joke... She actually thought that her and Spike were actually going to have something, god she's so stupid. She was thinking too deep into things...
Spike walked down the crowded street, his eyes darting left to right, right to left. He began to walk a little faster, trying to pass the crowds. Sooner or later the crowd began to disappear, and he could actually see in front of himself.
As he walked further away from the crowd he knew why it had disappeared this side of town seemed like a dump, hookers on every corner walking around in their skimpy, brightly colored outfits.
His mind automatically thought of Faye, but regretted it. He didn't really think of her like that, it was just the way she dressed. He wasn't saying he didn't like it or anything, I mean he really liked it but sometimes he didn't want her walking around alone.
I guess you could say he was afraid for her. He shouldn't be though, Faye was a tough girl and she knew how to handle herself, sometimes... His mind drifted to the times where she had gotten caught, Vincent for example.
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he completely bumped into someone and continued to walk without an apology or anything. The person stood there for a moment and watched as the mop head walked on, and then grinned evilly.
"In time..." the person whispered into the night and walked on with a sword clinking at every step.
Spike's eyes went wide as he turned his head around and barely caught the sight of blondish hair, 'Julia...' his mind screamed. He began to run after that person but by the time he had reached where he had seen them they were nowhere in sight.
He caught his breath and decided that this cat and mouse game would get him nowhere, so he headed back to the Bebop.
'Maybe Ed found something...' Spike thought to himself.
'Why'd you think that was Julia?' the voice piped up.
'I don't know...' Spike said trying to ignore the voice and walk through the crowd of hookers on the corner.
'The blonde hair give it away?' the voice asked curiously.
'I don't feel like talking about it right now,' Spike said coolly as he began to reach the crowd of people.
'But you aren't talking about it, you are merely thinking about it,' the voice replied.
'Either or I don't feel like discussing or thinking about that right now, I'd like to just get back to the ship and see if...' Spike said but stopped as he eyes went wide as he saw the flicker of blonde hair out of the corner of his eye.
'It was the blonde hair,' the voice said.
Spike turned his head and saw that no one near his had blonde hair, 'What the fuck was that? A trick?' Spike asked as he became angry and walked toward the dock.
'Not a trick, I cannot perform such trickery. You were probably delusional, you just wished that it was her,' the voice said sensing Spike getting upset on the subject but still pushing full force.
'Psh yeah right, Julia is the last thing on my mind right now,' Spike said as he neared the ship.
'Really now? Then why did you freak out when you saw blonde hair, you didn't even see the face of the person. All you saw was simply blonde hair, and believe me she was not the only person with blonde hair in this world...' the voice said taunting him now.
Spike had by now reached the ship and walked in, he ignored the voice the rest of the way in. As he stepped in he noticed that the voice left him alone. Shaking his head he walked over toward Ed and asked, "Did you find anything yet Ed?"
Ed looked up, "No, nothing yet..." and made a sad face then turned her attention back to the tomato.
"Alright, keep looking Ed," Spike said trying to motivate the little girl but noticed that she wasn't even paying attention to him anymore.
"Hey there," Jet said as he walked over toward Spike.
"Yo," was all that Spike said, that's his greeting as always.
"How'd the hunt go?" Jet asked sitting down.
"Bad," was all Spike said as he sat down next to Jet and looked over at Faye's door.
"Yeah she's in there, been in there since you left," Jet said pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.
Spike only nodded and got up from his sitting position and walked over to her door and knocked lightly, waiting for a response but he never got one. Slowly he opened her door a little and noticed that she was sitting on her bed reading what seemed like a diary or a book.
"Hey..." Spike said.
Faye looked up, not even noticing that he had knocked, "Oh hey there," Faye said placing the book into her desk drawer.
"What were you reading?" Spike asked curiously as he shut her door and then leaned against it.
"Oh nothing, just some old stuff..." Faye said slowly and looked down.
"I see..." Spike said and nodded.
There was a small silence between them, both eager to talk to one another but neither brave enough to speak first, but finally Spike spoke up.
"Yeah that walking around was a waste of time," he said while running a hand through his hair and smiling.
Faye only smiled and got up walking toward him, he pushed himself off the back of the door and met her half way. Both of them were arm length away from one another, Faye tilted her head and smiled at him and he shook his head and laughed.
"Where is your yellow suit?" Spike asked curiously looking over her new clothes, I'm sure they aren't new but he wasn't used to her wearing such non-skimpy clothing.
"Washer," Faye replied blushing a little, she couldn't believe he'd notice such a thing. But hell she couldn't blame him; if she were him she would've noticed as well.
Spike grinned and took the extra step wrapping his arms around Faye's body and brought his lips down onto hers, Faye accepted it gladly as she grabbed onto his blue coat.
When Faye saw Spike pointing the gun at her, she didn't know what to think. Had something happened while she was gone, had she done something terrible?
