"Apollo, it's time once again," said Detective Johnson as he sat down by Apollo on the couch.

"After this movie," she said.

"When it will be over?"

"In a couple of minutes, so shh!"

Detective Johnson waited patiently for the movie to end and it finally did thirty minutes later.

"What were you watching?" Detective Johnson asked.

"You wouldn't know if I told you," she replied, "So you want to know more about my story. Okay. I tell you how we left the council."

"Good."

"Okay. We were thirteen. It was a routine mission for us. I had to kill someone that ticked of the council, but they wanted us to steal something for them too. So once we got in the house, we spilt up and then met just outside the house."

"Did you get it?" Apollo asked.

"Yes," Artemis said as she held a small bag out.

"What is it worth?"

"About a couple million all together plus a two thousand we can pawn off."

"Good. Let's get to the ship."

"We ran to our dock ship in the outskirts of town and after we were in space, we had to take our homing device that on the ship to keep track of us."

"You know what to do?" Artemis asked Apollo as they were in the engines room.

"Of course, I do," Apollo replied as she open a box on the wall, "Pliers."

Artemis handed her pliers and Apollo ripped out a computer chip revealing a button behind it. She pushed the button and a invisible box appeared next to the on that so was on. She opened the new box and turned off the switches.

"There the homing device is off. So where to?" Apollo said.

"First to Mars, so we can pawn this stuff. Then to Earth," Artemis replied.

"When we left, it was a shock to everyone in the council except for Ares and Cronus."

"Shit, where are they," said Zesus.

"I suspected this day will happen," Ares replied.

"What do you mean? They're gone?"

"Yes. I figure it wasn't long till they do it. Both of them are as spirited as Aphrodite. That's why when I find them, I'm taking Apollo as my bride. When I'm though with her, she will been tamed, obedience to me, and completely faithful unlike her whore of a mother."

"You're counting your chickens before they hatched. I know Apollo and she whether die than to marry anyone in the council especially you."

"I'll see about that because it will be marry me or die, when we met again."

"That bastard, I will never be his bitch. I'm so fucking glad I wasn't his child."

"One of the reason you killed him," Detective Johnson said.

"Hell yeah. There were many, many reason to kill that son of a bitch."

"Can you gave me some other reason?"

"Okay. Just wait a moment."

Apollo leaned of the side of the couch to a small box on the ground.

"You have a written list?" Detective Johnson asked.

"No," she replied as she got up with a picture in hand, "This is one reason."

She handed it to Detective Johnson. He looked at it and saw a three year old girl on a smiling while playing on a swing and behind her was Apollo pushing her.

"Her name is Aphrodite after my mother. Ares raped me and I bared his child. My sister found it weird, being the aunt and sister to her."

"You have a child," said Detective Johnson.

"Two. A girl and a boy."

"Where are they?"

"On earth with a nanny."

"Who's the boy's father?"

"The man I suppose to marry, the love of my life, Dallas Jones. The council killed him."

"Do they know about your kids?"

"Hopefully no, but I don't know. I'm praying they don't. If they lay just one hand on them, I swear I'm going to kill them all. They don't want to miss with a bitch from hell."

"A bitch from hell?"

"It my code name among the council now, Cerebus which translate into bitch from hell."

"And why do they call you that?"

"That what they think of me."

"Apollo, I think we have company," said Jet.

"What is it?"

"It's the Space Kitty."

"Shit! It's Harry Maxwell. The only bounty hunter who know that Orlando is me. Where's Warrant? I need his help."

"I think he's asleep in one of your guest rooms," Detective Johnson replied.

"Okay, I'll get him."

Apollo jumped over the couch and to the rooms of the ship. They are four in all. Apollo, Artemis, and the guest rooms. She ran to the first guest room and found Warrant only in his boxers sleeping on top of the covers. She put her hands on his chest and started to shake him.

"Wake up, Warrant," she whispered into his ear, "You got to wake up now, or we all going to die."

"Hm... what?" Warrant murmured.

"Wake up unless you want to die."

"What?"

"Come on," she said as she pulled on his arm to have him to sat up.

Warrant rubbed his eyes and stretch. Apollo got up and picked up a pair of pants on the ground and threw it at Warrant. He caught it and put it on.

"So how are we going to die?" he asked while yawning.

"There's a bounty hunter on our tail and I need you to help pilot this baby away from him," she replied.

"Okay."

They ran out of the guest room and to the cockpit of the ship. They each took they seats and then a message from Harry came up the cockpit tv that was in the middle between Apollo and Warrant on the control board.

"What do you want Harry?" Apollo asked.

"Why, hello Apollo. How are you doing?" Harry said. He was a pretty boy, long blonde hair that he had in a ponytail, blue eyes, and a perfect tan. He was the playa of space.

"What do you want?"

"This that how you talk to an old fling."

"If they're a bounty hunter named Harry Maxwell, yes. So what the hell do you want?"

"You."

"It's not going to be easy. I don't want you to get my bounty."

"Who said it's about the bounty on your head?"

"The only thing that on your mind is money and sex, so which on is it?"

"I won't turn you in if you do me a favor."

"Isn't your ship crawling with half-naked girls? Why do you want me for?"

"They can't do what you can do. You the only one that can take me to a place of ecstasy."

"What do I get out of this?"

"I'm not going to turn you in."

"Sorry, but that doesn't satisfy me, you would have to do better."

"And my protection."

"And why would I need that?"

"You see all of space knows your little secret of you being Orlando Doe."

"How?"

"The bounty channel had a special about you."

"Shit. It's the council doing."

"So if you do this one favor, I can see to it that you have a safe passage to Earth. I pretty sure you want to be with your kids."

"How do you know about them?"

"It was on the special."

"Shit! I'm going to kill them for sure."

"You have kids?" Warrant asked.

"Fine. I can do you that favor if you got straight to Earth to protect my kids. After they are safe and all of this is over, I will do my part of this deal and only if they're safe. You will contact me when you get there, which should be a day or less. If you longer, no deal. I know you have one of the fastest ships there is."

"Okay, deal. Same place?"

"Yes."

"Las Vegas here I come."

"Top floor and the code word is Top Cat."

"Top Cat?"

"Don't ask."

"Okay. I'll be there by tomorrow. I'll be waiting."

"I'll be dreading."

"I'm not that bad."

"You wouldn't know. Later."

"See ya."

Then the message ended.

"What just happened?" Warrant asked.

"We're not dead and my kids won't be either. End of story," Apollo replied.

Apollo got up and walked back to the living room.

"So how did it go?" Detective Johnson asked.

"We aren't dead," she replied.

"Good."

"I can't believe you did that?" Warrant said as he sat down on the couch.

"I had to protect my kids," Apollo replied.

"What did she do?" Detective Johnson asked.

"She tried sex with the guy if he protected her children," Warrant replied.

"What! Do you have no shame?"

"The council took that from me a long time ago," Apollo said, "I'm tired. Can I go to bed?"

"Sure."

Apollo got up followed by Warrant.

"Do you always use sex as a tool to get what you want?" Warrant said as he sat down on the chair.

"Yes. I use it every chance I get," Apollo said.

"Do you have any principles?"

"No and if I ever did, it was too long ago to remember. It's a tough life out here. You do what you got to do to survival."

"I will never get you."

"Do you want to see why many men didn't turn me in for my bounty?" she asked as she sat on Warrant.

"No, thanks."

"Come on. I haven't felt a man's touch for awhile now. I'll make it all your wilds."

She leaned over and kissed him. Then she went to his neck, but he pushed her away making her fall to the ground.

"I said no, Apollo," he said.

"Come on. I know you want to," she said as she sat up.

"No I don't. I'm not like that at all."

"Fine, have it your way then. I'm changing in the bathroom."

She took some pajamas out of the dresser and went into the bathroom. She came out a couple of minutes later totally mad.

"Gave me the handcuffs. I'll handcuff myself tonight."

He hand her his handcuffs with no lip. She put it on her right hand and then attached it to a pole on the headrest.

"Turn off the lights when you leave."

"Sorry Apollo but I have to stay here and watch you," he said.

"While I don't want you here, so leave."

"I can't."

"I said leave," she said as she pulled out a gun from under her pillow.

"Put that down," Warrant said as he pulled out his gun.

"Not until you leave this room."

"Apollo put down the gun."

He walked closer to her, but she just aimed it.

"Don't move closer or I will shoot. And I shot to kill, so if you value your life I suggest to stand right there."

"You don't want to shot me."

"Wanna bet on it? I don't mind killing anyone anymore. After hundreds of kills, you get use to it."

"Okay, you will. Apollo, you just mad that I won't sleep with you."

"So."

"You got to understand I'm not that kind of guy. I don't just go to bed with any one. I believe in love."

"So did I and look what it gave me, a childless son. I stop believing in shit like love a long time ago."

"While I do and I won't sleep with someone unless I'm truly and deeply in love with them. Unlike you I have principles."

"How touching. I'm think I'm going to change my ways, not. Believe what you want to believe, I'm done with you."

Then she unloaded her gun and threw it at Warrant's feet.

"Stay if you like, but don't think I'll like it," she said as pulled the covers over herself.

"Why did I get stuck with you?" Warrant asked himself quietly.

"Don't question destiny, idiot."

"Oh, you don't believe in anything else, but you believe in destiny. You're one messed up lady."

"Destiny and the god that brings death. Those are the only two things I believe in now."

"You are messed up."
