Disclaimer: Cowboy Bebop is not mine and it's as simple as that.

(Narrator): We find Rocco at a secluded area with a criminal named Piccaro Calvino and his goons.

"Rocco, if you would be so kind as to tell me where the Grey Ash is then I just might let you die a noble death." Piccaro said.

"Gee, that's a great offer but I don't know where it is." The goons began to come towards him. "No. I swear I don't know where it is! I-I must have dropped it somewhere. Let me go find it!"

"Not so fast Rocco…don't move or else." Piccaro warned.

"Please, don't hurt me…I'll do anything. ANYTHING just don't hurt me." Rocco pleaded.

"HM? You want me to hurt you? Okay!" Piccaro proceeded to burn a cigarette into Rocco's face. "Now, I'll bet you'll talk."

(Narrator): Back at the Bebop.

"So, are we going to nab these guys or not?" Faye asked while puffing lightly on her cigarette.

"I don't know... it's way too risky." Jet doubted.

"Well, I suppose you rather starve?" Faye retorted.

Spike walks in. "Hey, Spike, did you find out where the bounty is meeting at?" Jet asked.

"There meeting at some old cathedral…Rocco and Piccaro."

"Well, Jet, that settles it let's get em'." Faye said.

(Narrator): At an old cathedral.

"Hey, Rocco, my man! What's sup yo?" Spike greeted.

"What?" Rocco asked.

"Um, I mean…Hello Rocco."

"What are you doing here…wait I get it. You're a bounty-hunter aren't you?" Rocco proceeded to point a gun at Spike.

Spike comes closer to Rocco. "Rocco!"

Rocco comes closer to Spike. "Spike!"

Piccaro approaches Rocco. "Rocco…Grey Ash?"

Faye approaches Piccaro. "Piccaro!"

Jet approaches them all. "Jet…wait that's my name…shit!"

"I see…bounty-hunters…kill them all now!" Piccaro yelled. A man rushed Rocco from behind but Rocco rejected his advances by blocking him with an attack that Spike taught him.

Rocco was surprised at what he was capable of, "Spike, did you see that! I did it!" Spike gave him a thumbs up and Rocco started to put his thumb up as well but he is shot from behind. Rocco landed on the glass that the Grey Ash was placed in and smashed it.

"Rocco!" Spike grabbed Rocco's head and held it up.

Rocco whispered in his last breath, "The music box…"

"I know Rocco…I know. I'll take care of Stella."

"Spike, do you think we would have been lovers in a past life?"

"What? That sounds like something a chick would say."

And at that moment both Rocco and the plant died.

Piccaro began to slowly walk away but Faye sees him and aims a gun at him. "Not so fast Piccaro."

"What? A hooker…I thought I paid you two weeks ago?"

"No you idiot! I'm a bounty-hunter and I'm here to turn your ass in!"

"Well, you can do anything you want with my ass baby."

(Narrator): At a hospital where Stella is residing at.

Stella hears her door open, "Barney! Barney is that you?"

"Um, no, it's Spike."

Stella (disappointed) answered, "Oh…were is Rocco?" Stella then reached out to feel Spike's face. "Oh I see…"
