"Are you done yet?" Warrant asked as he banged on the bathroom door of Apollo's bedroom. He was to guard her on this trip and make sure she doesn't do anything than that of what she was order to. Right now Apollo was taking a brief shower she said, but it was past thirty minutes when she got in. Then finally he heard the water stop. Then in a couple of seconds Apollo came out dripping wet, and wearing nothing but a towel.

"Happy?" she said as she walked pasted him towards her closet, "If you wanted my to go faster, you should have had come in with me. To keep an eye on my of course."

"I will give you your privacy when you're taking a shower," he replied.

"But that's when I don't want my privacy. There was an ancient movie when people get killed in the shower you know."

"I heard about it. Real popular back in it's day."

Then Apollo dropped her towel. Warrant turned around quickly as he blushed of seeing a glance of Apollo naked body.

"Why did you turn around?" said Apollo, "Are you embarrassed of my naked body? You know there's nothing to be embarrassed about nudity you know. You born nude, take a shower and be come clean nude and make love nude. Then of course you die nude."

Apollo came up to him and turned him around, but Warrant just closed his eyes.

"Open your eyes. I already told you not to be embarrassed. Nudity is beautiful."

"I'm too much of a gentleman to look."

"There's no gentleman in this hellhole of space. If you're embarrassed, I won't be naked around you, okay."

"Okay."

"I tell you when I'm dressed, okay."

"Okay."

"Okay."

Apollo took a pair of black silk underwear with matching bra and putted it on.

"You can look," she said.

Warrant opened his eyes, just to closed them again.

"Can you put some more clothes on?" said Warrant.

"Now you won't look at me because I have my underwear on. You're one strange man. Man will pay to see me like this. Trust me many have."

"I'm not that kind of man."

"It's a rare thing to find a man like that anymore. Space has some many scumbags, I'm surprise there're any like you. You are like the endanger species like the cats of earth. People will pay a high price for one. That's a good business right there. Now I'm totally dress, you can look around."

Warrant turned around a look at Apollo wearing very short blue jeans shorts, a oversized man's dress shirt tied at the bottom and was unbuttoned down to a little below the middle of the shirt which you can tell she took off her bra for it, and black high heels sandals.

"So what do you think?" she said.

He just stood there motionless, staring at her. She gave him a weird look that said what the hell is he staring at me for, then she walked pasted him and towards the door.

"So are you coming or are you going to just stare at me?" she said as she exited her room.

"I'm coming," he said as he ran out of the door after her.

Apollo followed closely by Warrant walked down the halls of the ship to the living room of the ship. It was basically a couch, a coffee table, a hologram machine, and a laptop that sits on the table. Detective Johnson was already sitting on the couch going over some files on the computer.

Apollo sat down by him and kicked her feet on the table.

"Hologram turn to the Bounty Hunter Channel," Apollo said.

Then the hologram turned on to a man sitting at a desk talking about the latest bounties. Then a bell ranged on the hologram.

"Yes! Big bounty time," said Apollo.

"Yes, it's that time again," said the man on the hologram, "The new bounty of the week is an old favorite with two news one. Yes, the queen of bounty is back and you thought she was in jail. Actually Apollo escaped at an attacked, which she personally planned herself. And she has two new partners, two UGP, a detective named Xander Johnson and an officer named Warrant Matthew. The bounty of this three is a recorded nine hundred billion dollars. Yes, you heard right. Nine hundred billions big ones. I hate to be the one to pay that. So good hunting."

"Wh...wh...wh...WHAT!" Warrant said.

"Welcome to my life," said Apollo.

"We need to get this misunderstanding clear up," said Detective Johnson.

"No can do. Once you on, you'll never leave until your die or arrest."

"But why do we have a bounty on our heads?" asked Warrant.

"That attack was plan to kill me, but you two rescued me, so the council placed a bounty on your heads and with that price, they know it will be done."

"So I guess that stop on Venus is out," said Detective Johnson.

"No, my other ship is on there. If we can get on that one, it will be easy sailing from there."

"But wouldn't it be under your name," said Warrant.

"No. Ever heard of the bounty hunters Diana and Orlando Doe."

"Yeah. They suppose to be one of the best out there."

"That's my sister and me."

"What!"

"We had to make a living somehow so we made up two people and the ship on Venus is theirs. So if we get it, we'll have no worries."

"But people we realize us in minutes when we on Venus. Our pictures are everywhere," Detective Johnson replied.

"Only small fries will tried to get us now. The ones we should be worrying about will wait awhile and get all the bugs out of their plans."

"So you're saying we can go to Venus and no one will try to kill us."

"No. I'm saying the weak ones will try to kill us, but they're like annoying bugs. But just in case, I'm becoming Orlando and I suggest that you two get some kind of disgust too because once I dock this ship we need to get away from as fast as we can."

"Where are you going to dock it?"

"Just outside of Eros."

"And where is your other ship?"

"Right in the middle of Eros in a dock called Johnny's Trust."

"How long will it be until we docked?" asked Warrant.

"I don't know. Kiki!"

"Yes, Apollo," Kiki replied.

"We are going to dock in the X14 reign of Venus, so how long will it be until we dock?"

"Approximately 1 hours and 28 minutes."

"Thank you Kiki."

"You're welcome."

"Okay, we have one hours, so I guess I will get started."

Apollo walked back to her room and Warrant followed her. First thing Apollo did was to take off what little make-up she had on and then put in contacts making her brown eyes, green. Then she walked over to the closet and took out a suit and a bag. She took off all her clothes and Warrant quickly turned around.

"You are weird," Apollo said as she took out a wrap cloth bandage. She took it and wraps it around her chest to make her breast smaller.

She took the suit and put it on. Then she took a wig out of the bag and put it on.

"I'm dress, you can turn around," Apollo said.

"Okay," Warrant replied as he turned around.

She took out a screwdriver that was bent up and placed it in to her mouth.

"What are you doing?" Warrant asked.

"Changing my voice," Apollo replied as her voice was changing.

"But how?"

"I was implanted with a device in the top of my mouth by the council. Okay I'm done."

She took the screwdriver out of her mouth and her voice was a deep male's voice.

"So how do I look?" she asked.

"Like a dude. I can't tell that you're a woman," Warrant replied.

"Good. Now what to do to you? Probably dye your hair and change your eye color. Oh yeah, that outfit is totally going to go."

"What do you suggest?"

"Dying your hair red or blue with blue eyes and a suit like mine, but without the jacket."

"You're not dying my hair!"

"Fine get kill. See what I care."

"Fine."

"Fine," she said as she slammed the bathroom door.

"What! Wait, Apollo open this door."

"No! I'm not going."

"Open this door now."

"NO!"

"Don't make me bust down this door."

"Go ahead, try. It made from a diamond-steel alloy, so you meant break your neck trying."

Then she heard a laser blast from a highly rare laser gun and then the door fell down.

"You were saying," Warrant said.

"Shit! You know how much that door cost! You paying me back in full, I'll make sure of that," she replied.

"What happened?" Detective Johnson asked as he ran into Apollo's bedroom.

"Your stupid partner broke my door!"

"Who's that?"

"Apollo," Warrant replied.

"She using her voice changer, I see. But do you mind not using it until we get there?"

"Of course," Apollo said as her voice changed back.

"Now, what about this door you broke Warrant?"

"She locked herself in the bathroom, sir," Warrant replied.

"I wouldn't if you had listened to me. Detective, tell him he must disgust himself so he won't get caught."

"She is right."

"But she wants me to dye my hair blue!" Warrant said.

"It's only temporary. It will come out after one wash," Apollo responded.

"Warrant I suggest you dye it. Do you whither be dead or safe?" Detective Johnson asked.

"Fine, dye my hair then."

"Yeah!" Apollo said, "Oh before I forget, Detective, I got a disgust for you too."

She handed him a suit, black hair dye, and a fake goatee.

"Thanks I think," Detective Johnson replied.

"It's no problem," she replied, "Now to dye your partners hair."

Thirty minutes later, Apollo came out of her room pulling Warrant out. His hair was definitely blue and so was his eyebrows. Apollo decided against the contacts, but gave him a pair of black sunglasses and the shirt and dress pants that was Apollo fit him nicely. But it was Detective Johnson that caught Apollo's eye.

"Don't you look handsome," she said.

"Thank you," Detective Johnson replied. He was wearing the complete suit with tie and sunglasses. His blonde hair was now black and the goatee suited him perfectly.

"We're arriving at Venus' obit," Kiki said, "I suggest you get up here Apollo."

"Yes ma'am," Apollo said as she walked to the cockpit with Detective Johnson and Warrant following her.

She took out the ear piece and the gloves and put them on. She got the cord attached to the back on her neck and the keyboard pop up.

"Okay. Kiki are you ready?" Apollo asked.

"Yes," Kiki replied.

"I suggest that you put your seat belts on. This is going to be a bumpy ride."

"Entering Venus' Atmosphere in 3...2...1."

The ship started to shake, but Apollo kept it where it suppose to be. In a few minutes, they were safely docked on the ground. As Apollo commanded before, as soon as they landed they quickly left it. When they got far from it, Apollo set the self-dentition on her ship.

"Why did you do that?" Warrant asked.

"It will only bring me trouble as long as it's around," Apollo replied.

"But..."

"No, buts. Come on. The dock's this way."

They walked cautiously through the city always watching their backs, but nobody notice them. They were to busy going on with their lives. It took a hour to get to Johnny's Trust and as Apollo said it was right in the middle of Eros. They walked into the building and to the counter where a short, chubby man stood behind.

"I'm here for my ship," said Apollo.

"Orlando Doe," said the man, "I thought you were dead."

"You can see I'm not."

"Where's that beautiful wife of yours?"

"Diana. She's dead."

"How sad. You have my sympathy."

"Thanks, but no thanks."

"You're still the same. So who's the two dudes?"

"These are my associates. Their names are not important right now. What's important is my ship."

"Your ship is in complete running order. So if you mind paying the bill, you can be on your way."

Apollo pulled out a gun and pointed it to the man's head.

"It seems I forgot my cards. So put on my bill, Johnny," she said.

"Yep, you didn't change a bit," said Johnny as he type on the computer, "There it added to your long bill. When will I be receiving payment for it?"

"It's in the mail. Oh by the way there's an abandon ship to west on the outskirts of this town, it looks to have some good parts. So why don't you look into it and take the amount of the parts out of my bill, would you."

"What kind of ship is it?"

"A custom CC-36985 Civilian Class Space Cruiser by the looks of it."

"Can do. Okay you're all set. You know what dock you ships in."

"Thanks."

"You're always welcome."

Apollo walked through sliding doors to the left followed by Detective Johnson and Warrant, and walked down to the last dock. Then she opened the door with a card key and the doors open revealing a complete custom ship. It was completely black with spots of white paint all over it. It was ready to launch, so it was complete straight up and it took an elevator to get to the door.

"I never seen a ship like this. What kind is it?" Warrant said.

"You would never believe it was a MU-85457 Military Class Space Destroyer. Totally redone by me, my sister, and a couple of friends," Apollo said, "Come on lets go one."

They walked to an elevator that took them to the top. Then Apollo pushed some numbers on the keypad on the side of the door and the door opened.

"Welcome Apollo. Should I get ready for take off?" the ship said.

"Yes, Jet. Hey do either of you two know how to pilot a ship?" Apollo said.

"Why?" asked Detective Johnson.

"This ship takes two people to drive this ship. It's not that hard. It's like any other ship."

"I know how to pilot a ship," said Warrant.

"Good. Jet, registered a Warrant, what is you last name?"

"Matthew."

"Registered a Warrant Matthew as a crew member of Night Sky and also registered a Detective Xander Johnson as you're at it."

"Yes, ma'am," Jet said.

"Come on Warrant, we need to drive this thing."

Apollo led them to the cockpit of the ship. Apollo sat on the pilot seat, Warrant on the copilots, and Detective Johnson on a seat in the back of the cockpit. Then Apollo handed Warrant a key.

"We have to do everything at the same time, so on my count put turn the key," she said as she place the key in the keyhole.

"Okay," Warrant replied as he did the same.

"3...2...1."

They turn the keys and the engines turned on.

"This is Night Sky asking Johnny's Trust for take off," Apollo said.

"This is Johnny's Trust giving Night sky permission to take off," Johnny said over the speaker.

"Okay. Get ready to do start this ship up in unison."

"Ready," said Warrant.

"Jet, get ready to launch off," Apollo said as she turn on switch and pushed buttons in unison with Warrant.

"Take off in 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...take off," Jet said.

"This is Night Sky taking off out of dock 10," Apollo said.

The ship took off from the dock and straight up to sky. As soon as they got back in space, Apollo set a course for Earth. Then went to her room and of course she was followed by Warrant. When she got in she threw her wig and jacket on the bed and took out yellow t-shirt with Mighty Mouse on it and a pair of jeans from the dresser.

"Here read this while I change," Apollo said as she pushed Warrant into a chair and then gave him a comic.

"Who the hell is Batman?" Warrant asked.

"One of the greatest super-hero comic book character of the Twenty Century."

"Dude this is like 200 years old."

"Actually it isn't. A good friend of mines takes old comics and copy then into new read-about versions. I would never like you touch an original comic. Just read it unless you want to watch me get undress."

"I'll read it."

When Warrant was finish with the comic, Apollo was complete changed out of Orlando and back to her normal clothes.

"So how was it?" she asked.

"Surprising good," he replied.

"Good you will be reading a lot of those because you're uncomfortableness of my nudity. Come on and let see what Detective Johnson is doing. You can dump me on him if you want, so you can get that dye out of you hair."

"Yeah, lets."

They walked out of the room and into living room part of the ship where Detective Johnson was laying on the couch. His goatee was off and so was his coat. Apollo quiet crept up to him and jump over the back of the couch on to his feet.

"What the hell was that?" Detective Johnson said as he woke up.

"Hello, Detective," said Apollo.

"Do you mind getting off my feet?"

"Sure thing, Detective."

Apollo got up and went to shelf filled with this tiny little cd things. Detective Johnson sat up and took out his laptop.

"Detective Johnson, can I take a shower?" Warrant asked.

"You may. I watch the prisoner," replied Detective Johnson.

"After all this time, I'm still your prisoner to you. This is making me sad," Apollo said, "Movie?"

"I have something else in mind."

"I never thought of you of that kind of man, Detective."

"You have a sick mind."

"Of course I do."

"I mean your story. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Oh, you just want me for my story. What happens after I done with my story, huh? You going to kill me off."

"No. Have anyone told you really over dramatic?"

"All the time."

"So are you going to tell me your story?"

"Fine. Okay were was I? Oh, yeah. Our training. You see Ares took us in, but he never thought of me as his child because I wasn't. When he got us, the council gave us a blood test to see who children we were. My sister was Ares and I was Hermes. They were tougher on my because of it and they opening admit it."

"Brat," said Ares as he smacked Apollo across the face, "You're doing it all wrong. You suppose to shot the head or the heart, not the fucking arm, you idiot. I hope your asshole of a mother is in hell for leaving you with me. You are good for nothing. There's no reason for me not to kill you now."

"I'm sorry," said Apollo as tears filled her eyes. Then Ares hit her again.

"No crying, brat. There's no crying in this game, you hear. If you cry again, I will kill you. Now do it again."

"It was always like that. Ares always threatened me and called me brat and putting me down. I happy the day I killed that bastard. Anyway, when we were six, we did are first mission. It was to kill this drug addict that own the council a lot of money."

"So what do we got here? Two little girls, why are you two sweet things are doing here?" said the bartender of a filthy bar.

"We here to see a Mr. Orlando Ivory," Artemis said.

"Why would you want to see that asshole?"

"We have a message from the Council of the Greeks from him."

"Oh, see that man alone at that table."

"Thank you."

Artemis and Apollo walked over to the man.

"What do you want?" he said.

"Are you Orlando Ivory?" Artemis asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Here's a message from the council of the Greeks," said Apollo as she pulled out a gun and shot him in the heart killing him.

Then they walked out of the bar.

"We did this for a couple months. Then the council stopped Artemis from going on this kind of mission and let me do them alone. They said Artemis was better than this mission and had her do stuff with Ares. I was lonely because they restricted us from seeing each other. Only Saturdays for a hour were we allow to see each other. I became good of what I did and they started giving me some higher class people. Then when we were eleven, they put us back together for a mission. We were to kill the head of the UPG. With my knowledge of killing people and Artemis' knowledge of sneaking around, they thought it would go perfect, which it did."

Artemis and Apollo jumped out of the air vents into the office of head of the UPG and to they luck he was alone.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"We are from the Council of the Greeks and we bear a message for you," said Apollo.

"But you are just kids."

"So," Apollo said as she pulled the trigger leaving him dead.

Quickly they got back into the air vents and left.

"Wait but didn't," Detective Johnson said.

"He was just a scapegoat. Someone that wanted to stay alive," Apollo replied.

"APOLLO!" yelled Warrant as he ran to the living room.

"Shit!"

She got up and ran around the table to get some distance from Warrant.

"I'm going to kill you. The dye didn't come out."

"Maybe you did something wrong when we trying to get it out."

"Or maybe you did something wrong."

"Wait. How did I apply it?"

"Out of a bottle."

"Shit, I used the permanent stuff."

"You are so dead!"

"It will come out in a month time. At least it looks good on you."

"Warrant, you can't kill the prisoner," said Detective Johnson.

"Yeah, you can't kill the prisoner. Besides I think I have something to get it out."

"You better."
