Author's Notes: Wow I suck at updating now. I'm really sorry; this chapter is not the best at all. But I just needed to update and I promise the next chapter Sylvia will be more active and there will be a lot more. I do not own CB!

Jet ran one of his hands over his precious bonsai trees; searching for any parts that were sticking out. Finding one he grabbed his clippers and chopped off the small nuisance. Sitting back he admired his work and smiled. Raising his clippers he headed toward his other one that was sitting neatly next to the recently finished one. He was about to clip a twig off when suddenly, "JET!!!!!" Ed screamed and caught him completely off guard causing him to chop off the entire branch.

Jet shut his eyes and began counting to ten before he even dared to answer the young child.

"8,9,10...Yes?" Jet said as calm as he could.

"What are you up to?" Ed said poking her head into his room.

Jet's eyebrows bunched together as he felt anger build up in him once again, "Ed...please leave," was all he could get out before he began yelling.

"Okay!" was all Ed said as she turned around and whistled as she headed back to the living area of the Bebop.

Jet decided to count to 20 instead of 10 this time, for extra precautions. Finally reaching 20 Jet sighed and put down the clippers. He had lost all concentration, and if he continued he was sure he'd mess the poor plant up even more then it was now.

Walking out into the Bebop living area where Ed now sat in front of her computer once again typing away.

"Hey, where's Spike and Faye?" Jet asked curiously since he had not seen them today.

"In Spike's room." Ed answered shortly and continued to type furiously.

Jet raised an eyebrow and then looked over toward Spike's door, which was shut.

"What the hell are they doing?" Jet asked himself aloud.

"I don't know." Ed answered.

"I wasn't asking you." Jet said looking back at Ed.

"Then why were you talking out loud if you weren't asking Ed? She is the only one in here besides Ein and he's asleep." Ed said and looked back at Jet.

"Because I was talking aloud to myself, that's why." Jet said as he began to rub his temples.

"That's stupid." Ed said and began to type with her toes.

Jet didn't even bother to respond, he was too busy counting again.

'1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...'

"Yo." Spike said as he exited his room.

Jet looked at him from the corner of his eyes.

"Hi" was all Jet said and then shut his eyes.

'11,12,13,14,15..."

"Whatcha up to?" Spike asked as he went over to the couch and sat down next to Jet.

"Counting."

Spike eyed him curiously, "Oh...okay then. I'll just let you count then." Spike said and got up from his seat and walked toward the kitchen.

'16,17,18,19,20...' Jet finished and then sighed leaning back against the couch and shut his eyes.

Faye exited Spike's room and saw that Ed was typing away and that Jet was resting or something closely related to that.

Shrugging she exited the Bebop and went out onto the dock to sit. Walking down the stairs she began wondering where Sylvia was, and if she was watching her at this very moment.

Faye turned around and scanned the distance for anything out of the ordinary I guess you could say. Seeing nothing she sat down and took her shoes and socks off and allowed her feet to dangle in the water.

Tilting her head back she stared up into the sky and watched as the clouds floated by. Her mind began to drift again; she wondered what the hell Sylvia wanted with her. Was she just another bill collector? No, why would she have killed that man in the liquor store then.

Feeling eyes on her, Faye turned her head to the side and noticed Spike standing on the Bebop watching her.

"What do you want?" Faye yelled to him.

"Nothing just standing here admiring the nice weather and all of that stuff." Spike said nonchalantly and waved his hand in the air.

"Yeah right," Faye said as she turned her attention back to the clouds.

'He's such a lunk head.' Faye thought to herself.

'What are you doing out here anyways?' Spike asked himself.

'You came out here to make sure she would be alright,' the voice said.

'Yeah,' was all Spike said in return.

'Wow no witty comebacks?' the voice asked.

Spike shook his head no and continued to stare down at Faye.

'Wow, there's a first.' the voice said.

'There's a first for everything I suppose,' Spike said as he tore his eyes away from Faye and walked back into the Bebop.

But before he did, Spike walked back over toward the edge and looked toward the city. He knew she was around here somewhere, somewhere real close. He could feel it in his bones, in his blood, in his fingertips.

She was out to kill. But why Faye, was there a specific reason? Or was this Sylvia chick just some complete psycho slut? Well whatever she was he was definitely not going to let her hurt Faye, not over his dead body.
