Faith stared blankly at Kain's black shades. She had finished telling him all about the night before. Well… She had left out one major detail—the fact that her new friends were mutant turtles.
"Why would you stay with them? They could have killed you!" Kain began ranting on.
"I stayed with them because they were nice. They didn't kill me, so what's the problem?" Faith asked. Why can he not see that they are friends?
"How do you know they were nice?"
"Um… Because they didn't kill me or try to injure me in any way…"
"What about the first one?" Kain snorted.
"Raph? Oh, he's just protective of his family. He's a softy," Faith beamed, not finding this friendship harmful at all.
Kain snorted. He obviously was not amused by any of this. As Faith sighed, her cell phone began to ring. Tilting her head to one side, she pulled it out and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Faith, it's Leo. Your friend Lilly just showed up again."
"She did? What does she want?" Faith asked, her eyes widening.
"I don't know," Leo sighed, "Raph found her. She didn't say much. She just left now."
Faith sighed. "Okay, I'll call her."
"Alright, thanks."
"Talk to you soon," Faith said, hanging up the phone.
"What was that?" Kain demanded.
Faith rolled her eyes."It was Leo. He was talking to me about Lilly. You need to shush now for a minute while I call her."
Kain did not say anything else, but he kept a close eye on Faith.
Faith dialed Lilly's number and waited. It rang countless times, and just when Faith was about to hang up, someone on the other line picked up.
"Lilly. What gives? It rang like… A hundred times," Faith said.
"Hello?" A masculine voice spoke.
"Um… I'm guessing you're not Lilly…"
"No, I'm not."
"Oh, sorry; I must've dialed the wrong number. Sorry 'bout that."
"No worries."
Faith sighed and hung up the phone.
"How did you dial the wrong number?" Kain snorted.
"I don't know. I'll try again," Faith said, dialing in Lilly's number for the second time.
"Why do you need to call her, anyway?" Kain asked.
"I'm helping Leo with something," Faith said distractedly. After one ring, the other end picked up.
"Lilly?"
"No…"
Faith groaned. It's the same person! "Sorry, I don't know how I got the wrong number… Again…"
The man on the other end chuckled. "Don't worry about it." He sounded kind, while at the same time, he sounded as though he was not as nice as he seemed to be.
"Sorry, again," Faith said, hanging up once more. "GOSH," she grumbled. "How did I get wrong number again? And not only that, but it was the same person…"
"I don't think you got the wrong number," Kain said.
"What? Well, then, what happened?" Faith asked, confusion building up inside her.
Kain stayed silent for a moment before he finally spoke. "I…" his voice trailed off.
"Tell me what you're thinking, Kain."
"She's adopted, isn't she?"
"Yeah…"
"So, maybe it's her adopted father, or a sibling, or anyone else she lives with," Kain said with a shrug.
"I don't know, maybe," Faith said, standing up.
"Where are you going?"
"I've gotta talk to Leo. I'll be back," she replied, hurrying out the door before Kain could object.
