Well here it is, I've tried to keep to a readers demands so enjoy!!

Chapter 4: Spring cleaning

It had been weeks now since I was given a place on the Bebop ship and all I did most of the time was clean up the place, and do some of the grocery shopping and "trying" not to piss VAG off, I gave Kira a nickname which means (Very Angry Girl) for some random reason because that girl is always angry at someone or something.

Like just yesterday she was just reading a book, wasn't too sure what she was reading but when Ein came in barking she tried to ignore him until she got really irritated and gave him a death glare and he got the message and ran away.

And earlier this morning the coffee machine was busted so when she tried to make it work she grabbed the thing and began smashing the hell out of it, even though it didn't work. But I did point out to her that it wasn't plugged in, she had that look on her face which says " Don't correct me or I'll tear you apart look".

A very scary individual, but every time she tried her "intimidation" look on me I just gave her a cocky grin, I'm always a step ahead and I ain't letting some girl scare me, even if she has issues. I've met people who are more intimidating and ones who have worse issues than she does…well…ones that do matter y'know?

LATER ON

I was cleaning out the hangar and I gotta be honest with you, I actually didn't mind doing it, it was better than my old job, at least here I was given food, a bed and a bathroom, but the hard part of being on this ship was dealing with this new reality of mine and the fact I'm never going home.

But it was better than nothing, I had just cleaned out the hangar and I think I did a pretty good job of it after four hours, as I finished I heard a voice calling me.

"TJay person!! Ooohhh where arrrreeee yooouuuu?? , there you are Ed was told to tell you dinner is ready!!" Ed shouted.

"Ok Ed I'll be up as soon as I've cleaned up." I said.

Ed ran back to the living area and I went off to the bathroom to clean up.

I bet I'll be getting Jet's speciality, Bell peppers and beef, I've always wondered what it tasted like.

After I cleaned myself up I made my way to the living area of the ship, and to be quite honest I was starving, I hadn't eaten since breakfast.

I entered the area and took a seat next to Spike because I was not sitting next to VAG after my encounter with her this morning, she's probably still angry with me. As everyone was getting their portion of the food she started to give me that death glare of her's, but of course I shrugged it off and just kept eating.

"So kid what rank were you?" Jet asked.

I was a bit surprised at the question but I realised he saw my dog tags hanging off of my neck, which was a bit of a dead giveaway. And the rest of the crew seemed interested and I spoke.

"I was ranked Private, but I was moved up to Sergeant after training and ……" I paused.

"Too difficult to talk about? I understand." Jet replied.

Of course he knew what that felt like, not talking about your own past and how you ended up here and now.

"It's not that it's just….things happened while I was out there." I nervously said.

"Where was out there?" Spike asked.

"I was shipped off to the war in Afghanistan." I replied.

"You mean the war which lasted for ten years?" Jet questioned.

"Yeah at that time….but I'm glad I know now it ended, but still doesn't compare to what you see out there." I said.

I continued to eat and everyone was doing so and Jet went off of the subject and began talking.

"Okay I've just got info on a new bounty head, his name is Vladimir Sioux, he's wanted for illegal arms dealing, double murder armed robbery and kidnap." he explained.

"What's the price on this guy's head?" Faye asked.

"3.5 Million , for just him and an additional 1.5 for bringing in his associates, they follow him wherever he goes, we have info that he does a lot of his dealings around Europa, and does most of his main dealings in bars, nightclubs, restaurants and his yacht so we need to spread out, find out where he is and how we're gonna take him." he informed them.

"So pick a place to go and split up, whatever info you gather we bring it back here and then we can devise a plan to take him." Jet informed.

I Saw their looks they looked ready to take this Vlad guy down and get that reward, however I wasn't a bounty hunter, so I only hear what they do and then I listen to their complaints on not getting the guy or the reward, and constant bickering.

VAG however was giving me a small glance and as I looked she looked back down at her food.

I knew none of this had anything to do with me so I finished my food took everyone's plates and began doing the dishes, I thought to myself while doing them.

Wonder if they'll get the bounty this time? Doubt it, and anyway this was a risky job they face danger every time and come out empty handed most of the time, I don't know how, but they still manage to bounce back.

As I was cleaning out the kitchen which was ridiculously small, I n fact it was smaller than my kitchen in my apartment, I actually miss it, even though it was a dump I still miss some things from home.

LATER ON

The crew came back and had some information on that Vlad guy, and apparently Spike got lucky and scored some info on the guy, but the informant got away and all he got was his earpiece, the thing was a piece of junk.

"So he's making a deal later on today at that club downtown, we'll take him by surprise, and for god's sake don't kill the guy we need him alive!!" Jet shouted.

"That's easier said than done." Spike sarcastically said.

"Yeah but still how do we know if his muscle is with him?" Faye asked.

"He needs his protection wherever he goes, and I bet he's just a coward underneath the ruthlessness and wealth, he should be easy." VAG said.

"Well everyone got their priorities straight? Ok when you find him contact the rest of us and we'll make a plan of action." Jet said.

They all left and I continued to clean up the area, as I did VAG stopped a second and turned around to say something.

"I hope you don't plan to do anything while we're gone? Cause if you even think about….

"You'll what, hurt me, bust a cap in my ass, or just glare me to death, look KIRA!! I don't know why you have some problem with me but In case you haven't noticed all I do is clean and anyway what would I do while your gone?" I answered.

She gave me a surprised look that I would respond to her like that but it didn't change her mood.

"Just don't try anything ok?" she said and walked out.

I was a bit irritated she went off on me like that but I was used to it, I got yelled at 5 to 6 times a day in my old job.

LATER ON

I was finishing up the sweeping and I heard something coming from the living area, the TV wasn't on, and it wasn't Ed or Ein, I inspected the area and heard it coming from the earpiece Spike got from that guy.

I picked it up to listen.

"Those bounty hunters know bout boss and his deal"

"Don't worry the boss has it taken care of, he has a plan."

"What is the plan?"

"Boss will lure them to that old industrial park and we'll take them out under his order."

"They won't know what hit them!!"

Oh crap, they're gonna get slaughtered, I have to warn them!!

I ran to the end of the ship looking for Ed. I found her sleeping and I woke her up.

"Ed, wake up now, I need to contact the others, now!!" I shouted.

Not looking good for our crew and how in the hell is TJ gonna save the day?

Reviews please!!
