"Got it!" shouted Edward as she rolled over backwards and started walking on her hands, no socks on her feet.
"What's it say?" questioned Jet as he went over to her computer on the floor. Ed regained her composure and sat back down, while Jet bent down to his knees and read the information from the computer. "It says here that Maria Jet is wanted for robbery and theft. Well, that's petty. Why would they want her so bad just for that?"
"Keep reading," commanded Edward, pushing back her now longer, red hair from her face.
"She was also spotted stealing drugs, which is not like her," Jet replied to the later information.
"Maybe they added the drug part in to make it interesting. It doesn't say anything about how much the bounty is though," Ed replied. They then scanned the screen for one last time. "Maybe this has been added recently.
"See if you can find a bounty for her head. It can't be anything small if a lot of people are out there looking for her," requested Jet, straightening up and heading to the kitchen.
"Ed's on it!" shouted Edward as she rolled onto her hands for a second time and started typing on her feet.
"I don't know how you do it," said Jet referring to her typing with her feet. Jet went into the kitchen part of the ship. He got a can of dog food and Ein came skittering in. He put the food in a dish and put it on the floor. Ein started eating. He looked just as he did four years ago, just a bit on the heavy side. Just then Jet's communicator went off.
"Hey Jet," greeted Spike.
"What's the bad news now?" greeted Jet in return.
"Have you heard about the bounty Mariah Jet? I heard about it from this guy at Blue Storm Night; said something about Mariah's bounty nearby, so I went in search, only to find some other people out in search too. Some of them started shooting up the place she was supposedly in. After a while I got sick of it so I sent off a shot in the distance and left," told Spike. Jet was silent.
"You still there Jet?" questioned Spike.
"Yeah, what about that other bounty you went off for?"
"Done," replied Spike. "I'll be back in a couple of hours," and with that Spike signed off his communicator.
'Shit,' Jet muttered. Ein looked up at his owner, and then returned his attention to his bowl.
"Got it!" shouted Edward from the other room. Jet sighed and walked back to the living room.
"So how much is the bounty?" Jet questioned, squatting back down to look at the screen with many small windows littering it.
"Says here about 1,000,000 has been issued for her turn in," said Edward. "Poor Faye-Faye."
"Got some bad news Ed," Jet sighed as he lay down on the yellow couch. Putting his hands behind his head, he closed his eyes.
"What's wrong?" questioned Edward as she placed her goggles on top of her head and looked over at the stressed man.
"You can't tell Spike, got it?" warned Jet.
"Sure-sure Ed won't tell, what did Jet do?" she questioned.
"Spike shot Faye," Jet simply said glumly.
"What!" yelled Edward as she fell onto her stomach.
"Just got done talking to him on the communicator and he told a similar story to what happened where Faye was," Jet told.
"I'll kill him!" yelled Ed as she jumped on to her feet and gave the most sinister glare. Jet was surprised. He has never seen Edward like that before.
"Calm down Ed," said Jet.
"He tried to kill Faye-Faye!" Edward said though gritted teeth.
"He didn't know," assured Jet.
"So then what did he say about Faye-Faye?"
"He doesn't know," repeated Jet.
"Then what he say?" questioned Edward like she was about to jumped on someone and beat them.
"He heard about the Mariah bounty from some guy in the bar and went to go catch her. When he got there, there were already a couple of people looking for her. He said they were shooting up some apartment. He was getting mad at them for carelessly shooting up the building so he fired a shot in the distance to shut them up and didn't know that he shot someone, in this case Faye." After Jet told the story, Edward didn't know what to say. "It wasn't really his fault," Jet said again.
"So when are you going to tell him?" questioned Edward.
"When he figures out Faye is Mariah," said Jet.
"What about when he gets back here?"
"He'll just have to figure it out for himself. What time is it Ed?" Jet said after he closed his eyes.
"It's about 12:22," Edward said. "Where are you gonna sleep?"
"Right here." Jet simply said. Edward sat down on the floor next to the couch.
"Do you think Edea is Spikes daughter?" questioned Edward out of the blue.
"Probably, she has his red eyes," said Jet.
"Really, I didn't notice," said Edward. She then walked out of the room. She went to her room. When she opened the door Edea was sitting on Edward's bed hugging a medium sized brown teddy bear.
"What's wrong there little Edea Weda," said Edward as she dived on her bed next to Edea.
"I hope my mommy's ok," said Edea looking up at Edward.
"She is," assured Edward. Then Edward got up. "You want anything, food, water, blankets?"
"Can I have a drink of water?" asked Edea.
"Sure! Ed'll be right back," and with that Edward went to get her water. When she came back, Ein trotted in behind her and sat on the bed next to Edea. Edea gave him a quick pet. Edward asked again.
"Is there anything else you need before I go?" Edward questioned.
"You're not going to stay here?" questioned Edea, moving the soft bear to her other side as Ein stretched out and curled up at her side.
"If you want me to I'll stay here," and with that she again dived onto the bed.
"Where else do you sleep?"
"Everywhere," Edward chimed, covering up Edea with an afghan in many shades of blue.
"Is this your bear?" Edea questioned, grabbing the teddy bear from her side and showing it to Edward.
"Yep, Ed got him at a carnival on Earth."
After a little while, Edea fell asleep and Edward did too. Edward was a very light sleeper. Two hours later she woke up when she heard someone coming on to the ship.
"Oh boy..." she thought as she got up and left the room.
