Faith sat in prison. It had been three weeks since she was thrown in, three weeks she waited for something new, three weeks since she waited for her hero to come.

"Did he forget? Was it a set up? Did Jacknife capture me so we could break up? For Duncan? I'm not understanding where is he? Where is my hero?"

Faith tried to rock herself to sleep on the lumpy mattress they called a bed. She didn't eat breakfast or dinner, just lunch. The wait for Duncan was killing her.

"They make staying in prison look easy on television," Faith said to herself. Sure she was strong, but if anyone was going to take her defense and move it to Alaska, it would be the cold prison she was in. She looked at the rusty clock on the wall. It read 2:48. She knew it was A.M. for sure. The guards were asleep, but Faith was too nervous to make an escape. She soon saw Duncan creeping in.

"Duncan!" She said in a loud whisper. He shot a smile back at her. Duncan looked at the asleep guards, put a finger to his mouth and crept up to them to get the key. Once he did he quietly unlocked the door. Faith sprung up and hugged Duncan tightly. He lead her outside of the prison so they could talk. Faith jumped up on Duncan again and he gave her a big squeeze.

"I missed you so much Faith."

"I missed you too." Tears rolled down her eyes and onto her boy friend's shoulder. "So very much....."

"OK Faith we gotta get home. Once we do, we'll see what's up with Jack."

"NO! We can't! If we confront him he'll-"

"Who said we're gonna talk to him?" Faith turned her back to Duncan. "I know it sounds weird but.... Jacknife...... he scares me."

"WHAT?"

"Why are you yelling at me?"

"I'm sorry, Faith, but you're afraid of JACK? I can't believe this!"

"Of course you can't! You've known him your whole life he can't scare you!"

"I wish I knew you my whole life. You would've been mine sooner." Faith smiled and hugged Duncan tightly. "You're sweet."

"C'mon, we gotta go!" Duncan and Faith ran to Merc's lair where Jacknife was waiting. He sat in Merc's rolling chair and smiled with the scariest bad guy face.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Duncan and Faithy."

"Jacknife? What are you doing?"

"Ah, Faithy. You think I didn't mean to let you escape?" Jack stood up and shot the two an evil smile. "You were SUPPOSED to escape. I wanted you to." Duncan nor Faith knew what to say. Jacknfie reached for Faith's chin. "Speechless?" He let go of her chin and laughed. "How cute." He looked back at them without the creepy smile but it was only scarier.

"Before you sent me off to jail," Faith started without making eye contact with Jacknife, "You said you guess I could say you're jealous. So you do ...... like me?"

"Don't confuse yourself Faithy. I may have liked you before but you're too much to handle. Too annoying."

"But....."

"Not another word. Why can't you be like Duncan? Sit still and sit quiet!" Jacknife gave Faith a frustrated look and Faith just looked guilty. "When I said that, I meant I DID like you. Before. But now, it changed. Now you love Duncan. Who knows what kind of mess you two will get into."

"But why do you think-"

"Faith QUIET! You won't stop talking!"

"I'm sorry...." Faith crouched into a small ball and sat on the couch next to Duncan who was disappointed in his girlfriend. Jacknife walked over to her and grabbed her chin. His face was a half inch from hers. His eyes locked with Faith's as he spoke.

"You're afraid. I can see it." He pulled her in and kissed her lips but Faith didn't do anything. She closed her eyes. Duncan got frustrated and boiled with anger and threw Jacknife off of his girlfriend.

"Quit it Jack! You always had to take my girl friend! Why can't I have a girl for once?" Duncan yelled at his brother who was once again against the monitors. Jack just laughed.

"Aw, is someones feelings hurt?" Faith smiled but she realized what she was doing. "C'mon Faith. Choose someone. Jacknife or Duncan. Jacknife.... or Duncan....."

"Jacknife leave Duncan ALONE!" She stood up to face him. Jacknife smiled some more. "So whose side are you on now?" Jacknife obviously had the same thoughts as Faith. He knew she couldn't choose. Jacknife looked towards his brother and secretly pulled out a knife. "For your own good."

"What?" Duncan asked his brother. Jacknife had already jumped forward and stabbed him. Duncan fell to the floor in pain, ready to die.

"Duncan NO!" Faith fell to her knees and stared at her boyfriend who was now in a serious state of dying. "No....." Faith whispered. Duncan had died already but she didn't let her despair get the best of her so she stood to face the man who was responsible.

"Jacknife you little-"

"Ah, Faith. Upset? Don't be. You can join me."

"....Wuh..... What?"

"C'mon Faithy, you and me. Working together. Same place I do."

"Wait.... you mean that.... You were a BACKSTABBING LITTLE-"

"Go ahead and take your pick. Pick whose side you wanna be on."
