OUTLAW TANGO SESSION 2
Jet entered the Bebop with Spike on his shoulder, Ed on his heel and Ein
under his left arm.
'Yay! Bebop Bepop! No more walking!"
Jet grumbled.
"I was the one who did all the walking."
Jet kicked Ed off, set Ein down and went over to the couch to set Spike
down. He took Spike's shirt and coat off. Spike had several cuts and
bruises all over his body. Jet bandaged up all the cuts and wounds. He
placed a bandage around his forehead where a large scratch had occurred. He
had to take his time in bandaging spike's right arm. There were several bad
burns as well as cuts and bruises. After Jet had finished his nurse work,
he called Ed.
"Ed, see what's up with the blonde kid, I'm going to get Swordfish."
"Blonde blondey blondey blonde blonde! Where are you?"
Ed danced across the Bebop looking for Outlaw.
Faye and Outlaw were sitting in her room, sharing the rest of the
whiskey. Faye felt a sense of understanding with Outlaw. She had told him
her whole story, about the stargate accident, losing her memory, finding
it, her passions for money and gambling, everything on her conscience and
memory. Outlaw listened mostly, adding a comment every now and then, but he
never talked about himself. Suddenly Ed came dancing in the room.
"Blondey! Ed has found you!"
"Huh?" Outlaw asked.
"Look's like Jet is back. Come on, lets go see him."
"Nope, nope. Jet left for swordfish!"
"Oh. Great." Faye said.
The three left Faye's room and headed for the living room. Unfortunately ,
Spike awoke right before they entered the room. Spike looked up woozily at
the three approaching people.
"YOU!!!" Spike and Outlaw yelled at the same time.
Spike jumped off the couch and launched himself at Outlaw, while Outlaw
dropped back into a defensive stance with his injured left arm out of the
way. Spike tried a right side kick, but Outlaw stepped back and pushed
Spikes foot out of the way. Outlaw cocked his fist back to strike spike
with a backhand swing, when Faye stepped in between him and Spike.
"Faye! Get the hell out of the way!" Spike yelled.
"What is wrong with you two!" She yelled. "Why are you attacking each
other!"
"This asshole screwed up my bounty!" Outlaw yelled.
"You screwed up my ship!" Spike yelled back.
"You opened fire on me, dip-shit!"
"You were waving that gun in the air, you deserved it!"
Faye found herself pushing the two much taller much stronger men away from
each other.
"Let's just calm down for a second, ok!?" Faye said.
Outlaw and Spike backed down, with obvious resentment.
"How about everyone sits down?" Faye suggested.
Spike flopped down on the couch, crossing his arms. Outlaw sat down on the
other couch, resting his right hand on his face. Faye stood in front of the
table that separated the two. The silence disturbed her, so she came up
with an idea.
"Hey, bigshot is gonna be on!"
Faye turned the screen on. Sure enough, they were greeted by the familiar
duo.
"Shucks howdy pardners! How yall' doin!" The man said.
"Hi there! And welcome to Big Shot, the show for all you bounty hunters!"
The woman added.
"And now for today's hot news!"
Spike glanced at the screen. Outlaw looked out of the corner of his eyes.
"The big news for today is about the bounty with no name! The man with a
tattoo of a fox on his back!"
Outlawed tensed up. Spike closed his eyes.
"The 1 million woolong bounty has been upped to a whopping 3 million
woolongs!"
Spike opened his eyes. Outlaw's hand dropped from his face.
"Wow! That's a big bounty!" The woman added.
"Sure is! Well amigos, that's all the time we have! See you next time on
Big Shot!"
"See ya'll later!"
Faye turned it off.
"And that's the guy you two were chasing?"
Spike nodded. Outlaw was silent.
At that time, the hatchway opened and Jet walked in.
"Damn it all Spike! This ship is gonna take forever to fix!"
"Blame this guy." Spike pointed at Outlaw.
Jet looked his way. Outlaw smiled and raised his good hand.
"Hi there."
Jet put his hands on his hips.
"Wait a minute, you two know each other?" Jet asked.
"Don't ask." Faye said.
***********
5 hours later
Faye lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling. Jet had suggested that Outlaw
sleep on the couch for the night, well away from Spike. Outlaw had told the
whole crew that he was a bounty hunter, he had been tailing Zorro, he was a
martial artist, and nothing really personal. Faye kept finding her thoughts
wandering back to him. She couldn't understand why. It's cause' he's so
mysterious. That was her reason, but she couldn't believe it herself.
She was going over the events of the day, when she suddenly heard a
faint sound, like a whisper, but the whisper had a melody to it. Faye got
up and crept out her door. She followed the sound as it grew louder. She
got to the hatchway that led to the roof of the Bebop, and was sure that
that was where the sound was coming from. She opened the hatch and was
subject to the night and stars. She looked to her right and saw Outlaw,
sitting down with his left arm in his lap and his right arm supporting his
body. He was singing the song she was hearing. She then realized that it
was in another language.
"Tuus en regum faru te rena
Men restu paxus teyam fe torus
Gontaga pater en mater
Quintus forgum terras fomen."
His voice was sweet and melodious as it carried the words into the
night, riding on the wind.
"Comen regum faru partus
Hastem nestu pagen pater
Fortutem en mater
Comen tuus regem."
Faye found herself caught up in the sound of the song as he ended it.
He dropped his head to his chest and closed his eyes.
Jet entered the Bebop with Spike on his shoulder, Ed on his heel and Ein
under his left arm.
