(Brad)

"Who are you?" I asked the girl after a few moments of silence. "I mean, I don't want to seem rude or anything, it's just, if I'm helping you I'd like to know who you are."

She was quiet for a moment. I didn't think she was going to answer.

"Samantha."

"Excuse me?"

"Samantha is my name."

"Do you have a last name?"

"No."

"So you mean that your name is Samantha and you have no last name?"

"Actually my real name is impossible for you to pronounce." She replied scornfully.

"Go ahead and try me. I have pronounced many strange names in my life."

She sighed and took a deep breath and uttered a series of high and low whistles followed by a series of clicks and staccato whistles and sighs.

I looked at her for a moment and shook my head. I instantaneously repeated the name. Hitting the high notes without a problem.

"How did you pronounce that? Only my people can voice such high notes."

"I have a natural talent for voicing a few of such things."

"Hmm. Now, I think I'd like to know the name of the person that saved my butt."

"Brad." I replied.

"Really? Are you sure it's not something like what my name is?"

"That's the only name I've ever been called."

She went back to staring at the horizon. "Come on Brontie, Dawson. I can't live without you two." She murmured after a few moments.

"You really love your dogs, don't you?" I voiced, breaking the silence that had stretched out while Samantha watched for her dogs.

"Yes, I do. They were a gift to me from my dad before I left Kerodayvania. Wait a moment, I think I see… Yes! It's Brontie and Dawson!"

I looked at the horizon and saw two small dots moving toward us. She leapt up and started to trot in the directions of her dogs. I followed and soon caught up with her.

"Don't tell me you can't run any faster!" I said looking at her.

"You want speed, you got it." She started to speed up slowly.

"Oh come on!"

"See ya!" She said sweetly as she speed up with a sudden burst of speed. I watched her, eyes widening. In a few mere seconds, she was a small dot with her dogs circling around her. She raced her dogs back to me, beating them easily.

"Okay, you are faster than I thought." I said. While she had been celebrating her reunion with her dogs, I had regained my composure.

Brontie sniffed and started to snarl. Dawson followed suite. "Brontie, Dawson! Stop that. He helped me. Don't go denouncing him already. You can do that after you greet him kindly. KINDLY!" She snapped after they had crept up to me with a low rumble in their throats. They obeyed her command and where soon standing next to her again, glaring at me.

She let out a heavy sigh. "I try to get them to like people a little more but they just won't listen. I apologize."

"It's okay. I understand that they have been trained in such a way that they know no better than to protect their mistress." I stated. She looked at me skeptically then shook her head.

"What time is it?" She asked unexpectedly.

"It's almost six, why?" I asked looking at my watch.

"Great. I have an appointment with some guy called Doctor Tauros at seven o'clock. I need to get back into town."

That startled me. Doc was thinking of hiring another mercenary. Was he going to replace me? What was he going to do? He wouldn't kick me off the team, would he? I didn't do anything wrong, did I? While I thought this my traitor mouth said, "Doctor Tauros is my boss. He hasn't left yet so you can catch him before he does." Why did I just say that? What am I nuts? I could have just lost my job and I'm making it easier for this chick to get it. Ugh, I'm an idiot.

"If you're worried about me taking your job, don't. I refuse to take another mercenary's job unless they have a good reason to be kicked off the team. Don't sweat. I'll make sure that this Doctor Tauros understands that before he hires me or fires you."

"That's a load off my mind." I stated whipping a little perspiration that had gathered at the thought of losing my job.

"I wouldn't dream of taking your job. I have found out that most of the time payback will come back and kick my butt." She said as she turned to go back in. Her dogs followed her like little ducklings. She stopped in the middle of the hanger and looked back at me. "Where is Doctor Tauros any way?"

I grinned and motioned her to follow me. I lead her to the common room and left her with Doc.
