*Opening Theme*

We come in on a white building someplace in the middle of the night. All is quiet and calm as the guards walk their rounds and some of them play poker in one room as some porno plays itself out in the background.

At the same time, one lone man dressed in only a white outfit runs through the halls, his breath labored from having run upstairs all the way from Sub-Level 4 and he's closing in on the wall facing the feild.

The head gaurd is in the watch tower, looking in some adult magazine when said wall explodes as if a bomb had gone off. All the gaurds scramble to attention as the man dashes out into the feild. Alarms go off and an bulliten is spread through out the PA that someone had escaped the facility and he was to be captured. Yet before the guards even knew who they were looking for, the man was already across the feild, up & over the fence and in the woods. He didn't bother to stop untill he was up atop the hill that looked over the place he had just escaped from. With one last glance over her shoulder, he runs away from the place forever...

The Blue Man Blues
Part 1: Ransome

It had been a rough month for the crew of the Bebop, pickings had been meger and things had gotten weird. But things seemed to be looking up when they heard about an major bounty for one Victor Blue who was on the run and was wanted alive...and only alive. After finding out all the "little details" the crew began to track him down and found him one day on Venus at some quant café eating an giant ice cream sunday while eyeing everyone.

"This has really got to be a pervert," Faye said over her com-line as she sat on the next floor up and watched Victor from above while enjoying a fruit drink.

"What makes you say that?" Spike asked from the bar, sipping on some mixed drink.
"Just look at him, leering at every girl like that," Faye said with a glare. Victor glanced up at her just then. Faye panicked a little and quickly looked away. Victor's eyes trialed away from Faye and went over to Spike who could feel Victor's eyes on him now.

"He's not just looking at the girls Faye, he's looking at guys too," Jet said, sitting at the other end of the building enjoying a rootbeer.

"He could be some sort of sex offender," Faye said and Victor raised an eyebrow at this.
"That's not what this says," Ed said over the com-line, she was back on the Bebop on the computer again.

"It only says that he's dangerous and needs to be caught ASAP," Ed said and Jet raised an eyebrow, "Wait a minuet, it doesn't say what he's wanted for?"

"Nope," Ed said and Jet thought about this as Victor sighed heavily before he finished his sunday, got out of his seat and joined Spike at the bar.

"Lovelly day, is it not?" Victor asked Spike.
"I supose," Spike said as he finished his drink.
Victor sighed heavily and turned to Spike, "I'm not going to wast your time. I know why you are and what you do. I also know that your two friends are here as well."

Spike, Faye, Jet and Ed all looked up at this in surprise.

"With that aside, I need your help," Victor said.
"Woah, wait a minute. You said you know who I am and now you're asking for help?" Spike asked and Victor nodded.

"Things aren't what they appear to be Spike, I..." Victor began but was cut off by an explosion that blew out the windows. The two men at the bar spun around in time to see men in balck suits storm the cafe.

"Help me and I'll pay you twice the bounty," Victor blurted out right then as all the innocent bystanders rushed out as the first shot was fired by the suits as Victor and Spike jumped the bar and hid behind it for protection.

"WHAT!? Is this guy serious?" Faye asked.
"I don't know but the bounty said alive or nothing," Jet said as he got up from his seat and pulled out his own gun to join the gun fight. Faye groaned as she pulled out her own gun and began to rain bullets down on the suits.

"What's going on here?" Spike said, fireing his gun at the suits.
"What else, they want us all dead," Victor said.
"Where's your gun?" Spike demanded.
"I don't have a gun."
"What!? You've been on the run and you don't have a gun?" Spike exclaimed.
"No, I don't. I have...other ways of defending myself," Victor said.
"Well you better do something if you want to get out of here," Spike said.
"Allrigthy then, better tell your people to be ready to run."
"They already know just do it," Spike said.
"Ok then," Victor said, took a deep breath, stood up and held out his right hand. From his hand came a thick blue smoke that filled the whole building.

"Move move move!" Jet shouted over the com-line and the four people dashed out of the cafe as the suits were left there blinded and hacking their lungs out...

* * *

Spike, Faye, Jet and Victor raced back to the Bebop and quickly left the planet.
"Tell me again why we're protecting this guy?" Faye asked suspicously as she and the others were in the living room area of the ship.

"One, I saved your asses from being turned into Swiss Chess...and I doubt your lovely little one would look good like that," Victor said, throwing a grin at Faye who glared back at him.

"Two, I can pay you much more than that chump change they're offering," Victor said.
"Just how much more?" Faye asked, the appeal of money tugging on her heart strings once more. Victor pulled out those fun looking electronic check books, opened it and handed it to Faye. She took one look at the figures and fainted.

"Faye!" Spike shouted as he and Jet rushed to her side. As Spike tended to her, Jet picked up the check book and looked at the figure.

"Spike," Jet said almost breathlessly and Spike looked up to see Jet looking him with this wide eye look as he held up the check book to Spike. He took the book, looked at the figure and his jaw dropped. This figure was so big that it couldn't fit on the screen.

"Help me and you get a cut," Victor said...

Five minutes later, after the Bebop crew recovered from the shock and the bank figure. The crew was ready to play twenty questions with Victor as they all sat around the living room area.

"For starters, who were those guys shooting at us?" Jet asked.
"Goons," Victor said blandly.
"WE know that, but who are they working for?" Faye demanded.
"The same people paying the bounty," Victor said.
"Wait a minuet, the bounty said that they wanted you back alive," Spike said.
"Yeah, but they obviously have different orders," Victor said.
"And just who's paying our bounty?" Jet asked and Victor grinned.
"A nice little company called Gen-U-Tech."
"Gen-U-Tech?" Spike asked.

"Oooo! Gen-U-Tech makers of fine products such as KoKo Cola, Tike Sneakers and the new perfume Elizabeth," Ed said very dramatically from her computer.

"What would an Mom and Pop company like that want with you?" Faye asked curiously.
"It's not me they want...but a peice of me," Victor said warily.
"Speak painly or we're not going to help you," Spike said grimly. Victor looked at him with an rasied eyebrow but knew he wasn't bluffing.

"I have these...powers," Victor started and the crew of the Bebop looked at him oddly.
"What kind of powers?" Jet asked.
"Psyic powers for one..."
"That explains one thing," Spike interupted and he was quickly hushed by Ed.
"But that's not why Gen-U-Tech is after me."
"Then why?" Faye asked blandly.
"Because of my...Cupid Power," Victor said...trying to find the best words to explain his unique power.

"Cupid...Power?" Jet stammered as Faye's face scrunch as she as tried to laugh but soon lost it when Victor nodded in agreement.

"Cupid power? You've got to be kidding me," Faye said between laughs.
"I'm afraid not. Gen-U-Tech wants to find out how to duplicate it for mass marketing," Victor said and Faye broke out in a fresh round of laughter.

"Oh this is rich! This is the best story I've heard yet," Faye said as the guys began to smirk in amusement.

"Faye," Ed said as she shrank behind her laptop. The guys noticed this and looked to see Victor glareing right at Faye with this look that could kill.

"Oh really," Victor said and held out his right hand at her as if he was holding a coin or seed...but there was nothing in his hand. In the blink of an eye, he flicked his fingers at Faye then this blue bolt of light jumped from his fingers to Faye's right check and she felt something warm and wet collide with her face.

"Faye!" Spike gasped and pointed at her face. Faye blinked at him in confusion before she pulled out her compact mirror, looked in the reflection and litterally freaked when she saw what appeared to be a blue tear drop tattoo on her face.

"What did you do to her?!" Jet demanded.
"Calm down, I only marked her," Victor said as he leaned back in his seat.
"Marked me! You ruined my perfect face! Now remove it or else!" Faye screeched as Ed inched quietly out of the room so as to not attract attention to herself or Ein.

"Can't," Victor said non-chalantly as he looked up and away from Faye.
"What do you mean can't!" Faye yelled right in his face.
"Listen, this is my cupid's arrowe. You have been marked by my power, and thus it must wear off on it's own as the power runs its course," Victor explained as he glared at Faye.

"And just how does your power work?" Jet demanded.
"Simply by bringing to the surface the feelings you have for those around you...mainly the feelngs of attraction and love. By doing this, one has the courage to confront these feeleings and get "together" with this person...or persons," Victor said and Faye had a sudden sinking feeling as she stepped back and sat on the couch.

'I swear, this is worse that the time that mutant ran losse on the ship and tried to kill us all off for dinner,' she thought and Victor rolled his eyes at this thought.

"So your power works just like Cupid's arrow," Spike said.
"Exactlly," Victor said.
"No wonder why Gen-U-Tech wants to cut you up. If they can reproduce what your mark does, they would be rich in no time flat," Jet said, impressed.

"So, how long before this power works?" Spike asked, curious as to whom Fayw would confess her feelings to.

Victor shrugs, "Depends on the person."
