Jacknife stared at Duncan and Faith coldly. Faith had never upset Jacknife so she had no idea what he would say. Duncan has though, several times, so it didn't bother him.

"What on Earth were you two doing?"

"We were.... uh...."

"We were just making out Jack. You're making it a big deal." Duncan said answering for Faith.

"Really then?"

"Yes Jack. CALM DOWN! I'm starting to wonder if you're just jealous." Faith looked over at Jacknife who was laughing in a rather sarcastic way.

"You think I want her? No I don't. I just don't want my little brother making out with Faithy. She's deceiving, rude and ignorant. I'm just trying to help you."

"I am NOT deceiving rude OR ignorant! I never was!"

"YES you WERE and if you don't wanna admit it fine but its still the truth." Jacknife pulled Faith off of the couch by her arm and put her in the position where she was right next to him. "Duncan, you are to stay away from this woman. Don't touch her, don't talk to her, don't even try to look at her."

"Oh my GOD!! I used to think you were cool Jacknife but you're nobody! You're just some jealous freak! I HATE you!!" Faith pulled away from his grip and ran off. Duncan stood to chase after her but Jacknife stopped him.

"Don't. I'm your older brother and you listen to me."

"By a YEAR ONE YEAR. Now I know why Faith said you were annoying. You ARE! This isn't even your business!" Duncan ran off from his brother to chase after the girl he loved. When he found her, she was sitting on the edge of an extremely tall building, crying.

"Faith?"

"Go away Duncan. Jack was right. I don't deserve you." Duncan sat down next to her.

"No he wasn't. Faith, our relationship has nothing to do with him."

"He's your brother Duncan! How can you say he has nothing to do with our relationship?" There was an awkward silence after that. "Faith tell me. Do you wanna be with me?"

"Of course Duncan!"

"Then don't let Jacknife come in the way of that." Duncan pulled Faith's head to his shoulder and she closed her eyes. "I won't Duncan. I promise."

The next morning, Faith woke up on the couch right on Duncan's chest. She inhaled his scent deeply. She decided to go back to sleep. Three minutes later, Duncan's eyes opened slowly to see the love of his life. He wrapped his arms around her tightly. Faith looked up at him and smiled.

"I feel safe in your arms," Faith told Duncan.

"I'm glad you do. I promise you will always be safe with me." Faith smiled at his words and went back to sleep. Duncan too went to sleep. About thirty minutes later, Jacknife dropped in and grabbed Faith. He threw her over his shoulder and carried her out of Merc's lair.

"This is what you deserve." He ran all the way to a very far away place at an apartment complex several miles from her 'home'. Jacknife put her down gently so she wouldn't wake up. She was right in front of the apartment front office. "Ignorant." He said staring Faith down. The next morning Faith woke up and immediately knew what happened. She left her comm in her ear just incase thankfully. She talked into it and her reply was Duncan's voice.

"He did WHAT?!"

"Duncan calm down. I know how to get back, but I'm telling you, Jacknife is gonna do whatever it takes to get rid of me! He doesn't want me anywhere near you so why don't we just-"

"No I'm NOT leaving you." Duncan said. "Faith I... I never felt this way before and.... you make me feel.... I can't leave you."

"Fine Duncan. We'll have to talk later. I needa leave before someone rats me out."

Faith finally reached Merc's place sooner than Jack could. Duncan ran up to hug her when she entered.

"I'm glad you're OK."

"You worry too much." Faith pulled away. "I'm fine. But what are we gonna do about your brother?"

"There's nothing we can do. He'll always be around."

Faith folded her arms and rolled her eyes. "Stalker." She mumbled. Duncan smiled at her. "Don't let Jack hear that." He looked over to one of Merc's computers. "He's probably tapping into our comms to find us." Duncan smiled back at Faith. "You got an idea?" She asked him.

"We could probably switch up the locations of our comm links so he'll be confused,"

"Not a bad idea."

"So..... how exactly do we do that?"

"I thought you knew!"

"I'm not some geeky Merc!" The two went silent. They soon burst out laughing from Duncan's comment.

"OK you aren't, but you're not stupid you can figure it out!"

"OK Faith..... I'll try...." Several countless hours of Duncan's failed attempts soon lead to night. Jacknife came to their location at midnight, but they were prepared and stayed up the entire night.

"Hello Jack." Faith said with an unpleasant look. "What? Aren't you happy to see me?" Jacknife asked sarcastically.

"Always." Faith and Duncan said with obvious sarcasm in their voices to copy Jack's. "Why are you stalking us?"

"Faith!"

"What? He is! We both know that and he does knows it too!"

"I am NOT stalking you two. I have better things to do. I'm just trying to protect my brother."

"By putting Faith in danger? Man what kind of brother ARE YOU?! You're just jealous!"

"I am not jealous I'm UPSET. If you two don't break up, then I'll make you."

"I'd like to see that happen." Faith ran to Jacknife and swung at him but he caught her fist. "You see, Faithy? You'll never be stronger than me. But lil Duncan over there? He gets weaker every time he's around you."

"I do NOT!" Duncan ran towards Jacknife and kicked his face. He fell backwards onto the monitors in the room. Faith folded her arms and stared at Jacknife. "Not so tough are you?" Jack stood up and gave the two a very scary smile. "You think you won don't ya? Always fast to say its over. You don't get it Faithy. It isn't over."

"Prove it." Faith said. Jack grabbed her arm and gripped it tightly in his fist. "You are to never see Duncan again." He pulled her outside to where a helicopter was. It was full of Blues, in and out of it. Faith began to get nervous. She was thrown into the helicopter and roped with a tight and uncomfortable rope.

"And Faithy, I GUESS you could say I was jealous, but just know this isn't because I hate you, it isn't because I loved you first and you never chased after me, its because my brother can't handle being exposed to a female like you. You're just ignorant, rude, cocky, and lets face it, you get seductive sometimes. You just need to leave him alone." Jacknife backed up and the helicopter flew off. The blues on the building left and Jacknife stood there smiling at his work.
