Hey it's the next chapter to my story. I hope your enjoying it as much as I am. Well I got some free time again and decided to invest some of it into my story.

Spike stood there looking at the blond in front of him.

"That's impossible, Jet would have told me.' Spike stated unbelieving.

"I'm good at what I do." Alice said with a smirk.

"So is Edward." He stated, needing a cigarette all of a sudden.

"Do you honestly think that after you went on that rampage and got yourself killed, Jet would tell you it was all for nothing?" Alice asked.

"I went there for Vicious nothing else, and what the hell do you mean for nothing?" Spike asked his voice growing louder.

"Well, there little human trafficking brought in big buyers and sellers, they were up in no time. Including a new leader." Alice stood up from the chair and walked over to the computer.

"Who?" Spike asked.

"That's what I haven't been able to find out, who the syndicate's new leader is. However, the prick Faye's looking for is a different story. I found out that the man who killed Faye's sister is a very important man. After he broke out of prison all the money that he had put into the syndicate, still didn't ensure his seat as a leader, but he does have there protection. And let's just say they'll do anything to ensure there investment, even kill a women driven on revenge." Alice said starting up her computer.

"So you don't know who the leader is, but you do know the name of the man who killed Alex?" Spike asked looking for the cigarette he needed.

"His name is Koji Long." Alice turned from he computer and toward Spike.

"It sounds familiar.' Spike stated finding his long lost cigarette. "Where is he?'

"On Callisto." Alice stated.

"What the hell is going on here? Callisto?' Spike asked out loud to himself.

Flashback

Spike stood there his gun pointed at Vicious. Lin stood by him ready to protect him. Vicious with a smirk on his lips.

"Are you dating Julia behind my back?" Spike asked

" Sir Spike!" the brown haired boy with Vicious states.

" Hey, Lin. You've gotten pretty big." Spike acknowledges him.

" He used to work under you, but things are different now." Vicious states coldly.

"I feel sorry for her. Having her name used for some crooked deal like this."Spike ignores Vicious's comment.

"You were always the one leaving others out of the loop." Vicious grasps the handle of his katana.

" We still haven't settled the score from earlier." Spike points his gun at him.

" Anytime." Lin stands guard in front of Vicious.

"Lin!" Spike exclaims. " Get out of the way, Lin!"

"Julia was here, in this town." Vicious states looking at Spike.

" Hey, out of the way, Lin!" Spike warns again. Lin points his gun at Spike.

"Lin…"

A shot is heard in the snowy vacant lot.

End Flashback

Spike shook himself into reality again. "How the hell do you know so much?" Spike asked looking over a Alice. "And don't tell me your good at what you do, cause like I said Ed is too. I have a feeling that if you got the info like you said you did, Ed probably would have gotten to it first, and I wouldn't be hearing it from you."

Alice had a small smirk on her lips as she turned back to her computer.

"You betrayed her didn't you?" Spike asked inhaling a puff from his cigarette.

"Not exactly, I didn't know her like I do now." Alice stated still turned.

"Why?"

"Why do think?" Alice answered with a question.

"Money" Spike stated.

"It's always money, isn't it cliché?" Alice turned to smile at Spike.

"What were you supposed to do?" Spike asked exhaling.

"Well, when my boss found out Faye was searching for him, he didn't think much about it. When he found out Faye had killed his accomplices, he began to worry. I was order to dig up info. Found out she was a compulsive gambler and a bounty hunter, no biggy. But then all her bounties were showing up dead. These weren't regular bounties she was killing. These were syndicate hired bounties." Alice stopped a minute to give Spike a chance to let it sink in.

"So your boss got scared, and you were hired to lead Faye to him." Spike stated taking another puff of his cigarette.

"Your smarter than you look Spike, but yes that's my job. Let her think that I'm helping her, but I'm just getting her to my boss like he wanted." Alice leaned a little forward in the chair.

"I don't understand, if your boss has the protection of the syndicate, why worry about Faye?" Spike asked confused

"Like I said she was killing very dangerous people who belonged to the syndicate. He felt precaution was needed. Look at what you did, you brought down Vicious all by yourself. When the boss found out that you and Faye were connected he worried." The blond girl pinched the bridge of her nose, as if all the questions were giving her a headache.

"I have a feeling your boss, had a falling out with his boss, that's why he set up Faye" Spike stated looking over at Alice.

"Like I said, the leader of the syndicate would do anything to protect his investment" Alice said getting angry.

"If the syndicate wanted Faye dead, she would be. But Faye still alive and killing." Spike smirked.

"Just precaution, they don't need what happened with you and Vicious to repeat itself. They know revenge would even drive the dead to the end of eternity." Alice said trying to calm he voice.

"You said before, you didn't know her like you knew her now, when you made the deal. Does it change anything now that you do know her?" Spike asked putting out the cigarette against the wall.

"Honestly? No." She stated getting up from the chair.

"You just told me your boss's plan and everything I need to know. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have trouble getting out of here alive." Spike stated a small smirk on his lips.

"You were just an unexpected surprise, everyone thought you were dead. When Faye told me you were alive I thought she had just had a break down and had gone crazy, but here you are. I'm just getting rid of you as a favor for my boss." Alice reached back and grabbed two daggers that were hidden in a compartment under her desk. "and just to warn you Spike, I'm pretty good at this too."

Spike looked at the daggers in Alice's hand. The handles were black, and they looked like they were just sharpened, you could also see the symbol of dragons on them. Flipping the daggers in her hand, Alice lunged foreword toward Spike, moving in the other direction she barely missed him.

"If you not careful with those, your going to hurt someone." Spike stated dodging another lunge from Alice.

"That's kinda the point."

Alice dropped to the floor and swiped her foot under spike, seeing Alice go down he backed away but lost his footing. Alice still on the ground moved forward again, Spike tumbled back to avoid getting stabbed, and turned near the window to get space between them. Alice heard when he had moved toward the other side of the room.

"Running from a blind girl Spike?" Alice stated with a chuckle.

"Are you sure you blind?" Spike asked.

"Haven't been able to see my whole life." Alice answered.

She flipped the daggers, so that the blades rested against her forearms. In an instant, she had moved from the computer, to the window where Spike stood. Never changing the position of the blades she continued to lunge at Spike. He continued to move back and dodge everything she threw at him. Finally he was up against the wall when Alice came at him. Spike crouched to the side as she approached, missing his throat she was able to cut into his shoulder.

"Shit." Spike hissed in pain, taking the chance to grab her other arm and twist it behind her back as he pushed her against the wall.

"Get off." Alice yelled pinned against the wall.

"Listen, I don't want to hurt you, so stop struggling.' Spike pleaded with her.

Alice quickly used her body as leverage and pushed back toward Spike, Having room for the arm that was free from Spike's grip, she swung back and impaled the dagger into Spike's already injured shoulder. Spike yelled in pain as he pushed her away and grabbed his shoulder. Not giving him a chance to step back she moved forward toward Spike with her other dagger.

"Oww, shit." Alice yelled. She stood there in the middle of the room, her dagger dropped to the floor. Spike looked and saw a smaller knife embedded into the hand which had been holding the dagger.

Spike turned to see a sitting figure on the chair in front of Alice's computer. Her legs crossed with a cold stare, her gaze never left Alice, she refused to acknowledge Spike.

"I knew you were good Alice, but I didn't think you were that good." the woman stated coolly.

"Faye?" Alice asked pulling out the knife from her hand.

"Shit is definitely gonna hit the fan now." Spike stated to himself.

I know left you guys hanging again, sorry. But I want to clarify a couple of things. I mentioned a place called Callisto in this chapter. If you guys saw Jupiter Jazz part I this planet that Spike had gone to look for Julia, but instead ran into Vicious and Lin, this is the first time since ballad of fallen angels that Spike sees Vicious again. Hence the flashback. Also as for Koji long? The three men that Vicious had met up with on Callisto all had the last name long, they also belonged to the syndicate, that's why to Spike it sounded familiar. Well hope I broke it down enough for my readers. Well till my next chapter.
