Faith woke up to the peaceful birds chirping. She smiled. The soothing sound of a bird singing its melodious song always calmed her and released the horrifying thoughts that filled her mind after the previous long day of work. Faith sleeping on the big lumpy couch forced her to get up before she messed up her back.

"Hey Merc."

"Hey kiddo. Listen I have a very important thing to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"Ya know how Jacknife has a little brother?"

"WHAT?!"

"OK he didn't tell you yet. Well, Jack has a younger brother about a year or two younger than he is. His name is Duncan and I need you to train him for me."

"Why can't Jack do it?" Faith whined.

"No whining Faith. Jacknife can't train him because he's too busy."

"Too busy to train his own BROTHER?! What a horrible sibling."

"Faith just because you don't really like Jacknife it doesn't mean his brother will be just as bad."

Faith sighed. "Where do I meet him?"

"I'll give you the directions as you're running. Now go hurry up you need to get there quickly."

Faith ran half way across the city. She finally reached the building that Duncan was standing on. He impatiently tapped his foot.

"Duncan?" Faith said hopping it was him and not someone else. He quickly turned around. "It's about time! I've been waiting here forever."

"Sorry to keep you waiting. You sure are impatient like your brother."

"Yea, yea skip the goody-goody kiss up mess. You gonna train me or not?"

"Not if you keep acting like that..." Faith mumbled through clenched teeth. She rolled her eyes and motioned him to follow her. "You think I'm gonna run the entire way there?"

"Look guy! I don't have ALL DAY to play your stupid games! Now listen if you REALLY wanna be a runner you WILL run all the way there you WILL listen to what I say and you WONT give me any disrespect! Got it?!"

"Ya know when you put it like that it makes you seem like a threat."

"Oh my GOD! You're just as annoying as your stupid BROTHER!!"

"Don't talk about my brother like that!!"

"Why I can't tell the TRUTH anymore? You and Jack are the two most ANNOYING people in the whole UNIVERSE!! I HATE you two!!" Faith ran off of the building.

"I'm sorry, it's just a bad habit." Duncan whispered. Faith jumped up the building, grabbed Duncan by his wrist and pulled him off of the building. "I guess you heard that then huh?"

"Yea, yea whatever. Just follow me so we can finish training and I can resume enjoying my day off."

"I wish you would loosen up a little ms. uptight,"
