Cowboy Bebop Fan Fiction ❯ Happily Edward After ❯ One More Bounty ( Chapter 4 )

Happily Edward After Ch. 4

 

Ed and Spike stared up at the insanely tall gray building. The Burnbo Hotel was huge and no doubt expensive to stay in.

"Room 193 right?" Spike asked

"Yep. You ready?" Ed asked with a wink.

He gave her one of his sexy sly smiles, "Of course."

Room 193

Fisher watched Ed and Spike enter the building. He smiled and loaded his gun. He was going to wait till they entered his room and come from behind. He'd kill the famous Spike Spiegel and knock out Ed. He knew his plan was simple, but it was effective.

They slowly crept up to the room. Spike and Ed both had guns ready and willing to use them. Spike nodded to Ed for her assurance. He then kicked in the door his gun ready. The room was empty; Spike could slightly smell the liquor and stale cigarette smoke.

"Something's not right here." Spike said cautiously

"You read my mind." Ed looked around for clues to where Fisher might be.

"Stay by the door."

Spike continued to survey the room till he heard a muffled cry. He turned quickly, "Ed"

The sight he beheld was their bounty with a gun to his beloved's head.

"Let her go." Spike demanded coldly

"Give yourself up, and we can arrange that." The smile on Fisher's face was obliviously cruel and demented, "Hesitation can be deadly Mr. Spiegel."

Spike dropped his gun and put his hands up. As soon as he had disarmed himself Fisher took advantage. He raised his gun and whispered a hollow goodbye. It was a well known fact that Spike could be the trickiest man on the Earth. Stories were told of how he maneuvered around bullets and could even redirect their course. So with this in mind Fisher made it a point to shoot twice. Spike fell with a thump and seemed to be down for the count. Seeing her lover lay motionless on the hotel floor, Ed felt like she needed to take some kind of action. She swiftly kicked up her foot and caught Fisher in the chin. He immediately let go of her and that mistake allowed her to land a round house kick. Fisher stumbled back, then slipped, and fell. She picked up his gun and aimed it at him.

"You're coming with me now, and you're gonna pay for shooting Spike." Tears slid from her eyes to her cheeks

"You think cause you got that gun you're gonna take me in little girl?"

"Yeah." Anger and vengeance crossed her eyes like lightening. And before he could speak another word she shot him in both knee caps. His screams could be heard throughout the Hotel. And it was delicate music to Ed's ears, "Now don't go anywhere." She said coldly and turned back to Spike with sadness and pain in her eyes.

She slowly walked to him and put her hand over his heart. She feared the silence that might be found there. But it wasn't silent, his breathing was shallow, but his heart was still beating. She looked over him and found only one bullet hole in his chest, barely missing his heart. But what happen to the other bullet. She looked up and noticed a hole in the wall. Spike is so shifty. A smile broke over her beautiful face just as she felt someone hit her on the base of her neck. She lost her vision quickly and fell to the floor unconscious much like her beloved.

Back on the Bebop

Spike awoke on the couch of the Bebop. He had a horrible headache and a pain in his chest. It only took him seconds to remember where he was and what had happened.

"Ed!" He yelled and frantically looked around

Jet walked in with a grim expression, "I see you're awake."

"Where's Ed?" He demanded sharply

"I don't know Spike." Jet lowered his eyes, "I was hoping you did."

"Fisher!" Spike bolted up and groaned as he lay back down.

"You're in no condition to go chasing after her. Faye already left to look for her and I decided to stay here to make sure you're alright. And it wasn't Fisher."

"What do you mean it wasn't Fisher he was the one who ambushed us!"

"Well he must have had a very disloyal partner. When you didn't come back Faye went looking for the two of you. When she got to the Burnbo, she found his room and him in the doorway dead as a doornail. He had been shot in the head and knee caps."

"We didn't see anybody else." Sadness enveloped Spike's face, "I don't know what to do."

"Lay back..."

"What the hell did you say?!" Spike sprung to life and off the couch angrily, ignoring his injury.

"You can't go anywhere like that Spike. Now that I know you're not gonna die on me, I'm going to look for Ed too."

"But who would want to take her?!" Spike shook his head in confusion

"Maybe it was an old bounty wanting revenge?"

And that's when it hit Spike, "Or maybe an old boyfriend." He rubbed his chin and then turned his attention back to Jet, "I don't care how hurt I am. I'm going to go look for her."

Dickson Abandoned Building

Ed awoke chained to a table and freezing. At first she couldn't recall what had happened, and after a few moments she couldn't help but wonder where she was. This definitely wasn't the Bebop. She sighed once more and thought harder even though it hurt. Then her memory came back life fire burning her mind. Someone had knocked her unconscious. But how could Fisher have gotten up? I shot him in his knee caps. And where is Spike?! Where am I?! She looked about the room desperately. She feared what may happen to her. All her worrying had distracted her till she looked down on her body. No wonder she was cold, she didn't have a stitch of clothing on her body. Who did this to me? She lay her had back and tears began to slide down from her eyes.

"Don't cry love."

The familiar voice shook Ed and she couldn't help but feel even more helpless than she had a second ago, "David."

"Yeah baby, I told you I was gonna kill him!"

"He's not dead! Spike doesn't just die!"

"Well he looked pretty damn dead to me."

"Let me go David."

He approached her and looked over her naked form, "Do remember all the kinky things we did?" He traced his finger down her body.

"Don't touch me!" Ed sneered through her teeth

"Ah come on baby." His eyes soften and he touched her cheek, "I did this for you and me. We belong together."

"If we belonged together," She rolled her eyes with anger, "then you wouldn't have to kidnap me and chain me naked to a table."

"I had to baby; you don't seem to understand that we belong to each other. Instead you want that DEADBEAT," He laughed slightly, "Spike Spiegel."

"If he really is dead, I'll hate you for the rest of my life. So you better go ahead and kill me now, because I'll never want to be with you. And if he isn't, you better kiss your ass goodbye now."

"You sound like a sad rerun of a super hero show. You're Spike isn't going to fly in here wearing a cape."

"No he's gonna fly in here in his ship and but two missiles up your ass!"

She could see the anger on his face quite easily and it gave her some kind of comfort.

"You see lovely, once you have our baby, you'll see things differently."

"Have your baby! You must be losing it."

"Why do you think you're naked?"

"Don't you dare touch me!"

"I'll touch you all I like." His fingers traced her body once more and then slipped them into her womanhood.

Ed let out a small cry of anger, shame, and pleasure. Even though she hated him with a passion, he always knew exactly where to touch her to make her moan.

"Don't worry love. I would hate to conceive our child on this table. I just want to pleasure you for now. See that Sapphire bought us a cozy mansion, that's where we're gonna start our family." He pushed his fingers in farther and she sighed sadly, hating and loving his administrations at the same time.

A Pub Across Town

Spike looked the Bartender squarely in the eye, "So have you heard of Deadly D returning?"

The bartender shook his head and looked at Jet," If you wanna find out anything you should go ask his brother."

"He's got a brother?" Jet looked at the man quizzically

"Yeah, he lives across town next to an abandoned building called Dickson."

"Ah, and what's his name?" Spike downed his bourbon

"Daniel. Their twins. I certainly do hope you find Red."

Spike nodded, "Don't worry, I will."

Spike and Jet exited the pub, "Across town then."

Within ten minutes they found themselves in front of an apartment building next to an abandoned Dickson building. Too bad they hadn't asked for an apartment number.

"So do you think we should start Jet?"

"I'll take the top, you take the bottom."

Spike nodded and started on the right side. Just as he was about to knock on the door he peered into the window of the abandoned building. He couldn't see anything because of the dust, but he could hear movement. Something told him he needed to go inside.

Jet had knocked on the second door to the left on the top floor. A shaggy looking young man with blue hair answered.

"Are you Daniel?"

"Yeah I'm Danny, looking for a buzz or somethin?"

"No, I'm looking for your brother David."

The young man scratched his head and sighed sadly, "I'd like to help you out, but he wanted some quite time with his girl."

"His girl?"

"Red, they got back together apparently."

"Where is he?" Jet asked anxiously

"Next door." He pointed to the Dickson building, "But I wouldn't disturb him if I were you."

Jet nodded, "I'll keep that in mind." He walked off to find Spike; he had to form a plan and quick. There was no telling what that sicko was doing to Ed.

"Get your hands off me, let me go!" Ed tried to scream but Deadly D had a knife to her throat.

"Keep quite before some hears you. Cause if someone shows up, then I'll have to dispose of them much like your ex-boyfriend."

Ed spat in his face and sneered. “I don't give a damn about your threats.”

"You're gonna regret that."

Suddenly Deadly D heard the click of a glock.

"You touch her and I'll blow your brains out."

"Oh really?"

"No, fuck blowing your brains out, I'm gonna beat the shit out of you, then let Ed pull the trigger."

Deadly D looked at Ed, "I doubt she could after the half hour of pleasure I've given her. You should have heard her moaning..."

Spike shot him in the shoulder right then, he didn't want to hear the rest. And it almost killed him know that he had his hands on his Ed. He looked at Ed, naked with tears in her eyes.

"Spike," she whispered, "I knew you'd come and save me."

Spike nodded to her and approached deadly D. The man held his shoulder and tossed and turned upon the floor.

"I'm gonna kill you, you bastard."

"Yeah right." Spike aimed for his head, "We don't need the reward that bad." malice poured from his voice

"Spike don't!" Ed yelled

"What, you want me to spare this bastard?" Spike looked at her with hurt in his eyes

"Of course not. Untie me, you promised that I could pull the trigger."

Spike nodded and walked over to her, untying her quickly.

"Not today Superman." Deadly D sneered. Spike turned just in time to catch a piece of wood across the face.

"Spike! Leave him alone David!" Ed screamed

"Shut up bitch! You're mine now!"

Spike moaned in pain, "No."

Ed had noticed that Spike loosened the chains on her wrist. She used a trick her father had showed her, disconnect the bone in her thumb and slipped out of the chains. By then Deadly D had served Spike quite a bit of punishment with the wooden stick. She spotted the gun that Spike had dropped on the floor and reached for it. For Ed the gun seemed too far away. But every shout of pain that Spike let out was incentive for her to reach for the gun. She finally got a hold of it just as Deadly D was about to give Spike a blow to the head. Without hesitation she shot him in the back, then in the head. His body drop to the ground with a sickening thud. At that moment Ed realized she had a killed a man, and not just a man, but someone at one point she loved. But then her eyes fell down the motionless form on the floor. She knew he was alive, and she knew that she'd done it for him.

"Spike. Is there anything broken?" Ed whispered

"No." He rose to the floor, "I've been beat with worse, and I know how to roll with the punches."

"Well he wasn't punching you." she giggled

Spike peered at her naked form and sighed, "Lookin good."

"Spike!" Jet finally had arrived and looked at the battered Spike and naked Edward, "I must have really missed something." He quickly looked away from Ed's naked form.

"Could one of you help me, Spike."

Spike stood and walked to her, "Of course love."

On the Bebop

Ed sat on Spike's bed looking at him naked in front of him. "My Greek God."

Spike looked down on Ed his eyes looking upon her naked body, "Now lay back."

Ed did as she was told and looked into Spike's eyes, "Spike?"

"Yeah." He began to push his way into her body.

"You love me right?" She moaned softly

"Hai, of course."

"Because I love you...and I was thinking that it might not be such...Ah!"

"Sorry." He slowed down his pace

"It might not be such a bad idea if I was maybe...Mrs.Spiegel, and that maybe we could start a family someday."

Spike kissed her lightly and ran his hand through her red locks of fire, "I have a better idea, how about we start one now."

Ed giggled and nodded.

She had finally got the man she always wanted, and within nine months she was going to get the life she always wanted. She giggled again then moaned. We'll be a family of bounty hunters.
