Brad exits the funeral home, his tears fall like the rain as the thirteen year old young man walks down the streets of Olathe. He couldn't save her. Lisa...

She's dead.

His little sister, dead, suicide, because he was weak. To weak to save her. Brad did his best and is not to blame, but in his trauma induced madness it's all his fault Lisa hung herself.

"Brad," A voice chuckles, "Brad buddy. Let's talk freind."

An eleven year old young man wearing a punk outfit with decorative spike wristbands and a pink shirt with a wide, toothless smile on the front of the shirt matching that on the child's face, emerges from a tree, dropping down to greet Brad.

"She's gone Bernard," Brad sighs, "She's-"

"Now now," Bernard chuckles, "Let's focus on what's more important right now."

Bernard takes out a blue pill from his pocket, "Brad buddy old pal, let's talk about your dad."

"I'm gonna kill him," Brad growls, "I-"

"Take this," Bernard demands.

"What is it?" Brad inquires.

"It's called Joy," Bernard explains, "Consider it a 13th birthday gift. I heard it makes you strong."

"Will it help me kill Marty?" Brad demands.

"Yeah," Bernard explains, "All I ask in return is that I get a peice of him."

Bernard reveals a large knife, "Literally."

"You got yourself a deal," Brad replies.

Brad took some Joy.

"Now," Bernard smirks, "Let's go see your father."

"Thanks Bernard," Brad explains, "I'm glad I'm not doing this alone."

"Oh I don't give a shit about you," Bernard explains, "It's your fault she died. I'm only here to kill Marty. Also..."

The two begin to walk towards Marty's place, "It's Buzzo..."

Three months later.

An old, run down orphanage sits on the street corner in a run down part of town. The sigh is labeled, "Yado's home for troubled youth." Within Brad awakens after sleeping on the floor to a child screaming as he is beaten by a so called "care taker."

Brad gets up and sighs, knowing he has another day in this place. He exits his room, avoiding a hole in the floor by climbing over an used bed frame with no mattress before he heads downstairs where he is greeted by a young man, around twelve, in a yellow t-shirt with a leopard print pattern.

"Hey Brad!" The young man exclaims eagerly.

"Hey Terry," Brad replies, "Let's go. We have to get some breakfast."

"Brad you don't have to help me," Terry explains, "I can get food for myself Brad."

"It's what freinds do," Brad mutters.

"Sorry what?" Terry inquires.

"You want breakfast or not?" Brad demands.

Terry Hintz joined Brad's party.

Brad begins to sneak out of the orphanage, where he finds hints from Terry that help guide those unfortunate enough to end up here. Such as...

"They won't feed you here. You'll have to sneak out and steal food."

"Don't bother calling child protective services. Brad already tried..."

"When sneaking out don't get caught. They will hurt you."

"Never, ever, speak to Yado. No matter what."

Finally the duo escape the orphanage and begin to wander the alleys of the shady city of Olathe until suddenly an enraged dog attacks.

"It's gonna eat us!" Terry exclaims climbing up the fire escape of an apartment complex.

"Looks like lunch to me," Brad explains.

Brad attacks the hound, striking with a series of Buster Punches, killing the hound.

Terry comes down from the fire escape as Brad carries the dog's corpse over to a trash can with a fire burning inside it.

"The fur will smell as it burns but it's animal meat," Brad explains, "Come, eat."

"You know Bard," Terry explains, "You've done a lot for me these last two months and I-"

Brad hears a baby crying.

"Watch the meat," Brad explains, "I'll be right back."

Brad follows the sound to find a baby in a dumpster.

"Oh," he greets her, "Hey little Buddy. Shhhh. It's OK. It's OK. I'm here for you it's OK."

Brad comforts the child walking back to Terry, who has finished cooking the dog.

"Brad," Terry asks, "Is that a baby?"

"Yeah," Brad explains, "I just sorta found her."

"What are we gonna do with a baby?" Terry demands, "If Yado finds out he'll..."

"Yado isn't going to find out," Brad growls, "This is my second chance Terry. I'm not fucking this up."

"Because you did great protecting me," a hallucination of Lisa taunts.

"No," Terry explains, "We aren't gonna fuck this up. I've got your back man."

Brad smiles, "Thanks. I... I really appreciate that Terry."

So a month went by as the duo took turns hiding Buddy as the other snuck out to get baby formula until one day Brad notices a sign...

"Missing," the sign reads, "Female baby, one month old. Black hair. $100000 reward for return to Dr. Yado at 167 Hendrick Way."

"That's Buddy!" Brad exclaims in shock.

Brad rushes back to the orphanage to find Terry beat to shit and covered in blood.

"What happened?" Brad demands, "Are you OK? Where's Buddy?"

"I'm OK," Terry explains getting up wiping blood from his jaw, "And Buddy's been taken by some kid calling himself Buzzo. Brad, why would he take Buddy?"

Brad turns away and explains, "Dr. Yado places a massive reward on Buddy's head, and I'm going to save her. Alone."

"Alone?" Terry demands, "Brad no. You..."

"What?" Brad glares, "Terry we don't have time for this."

"Brad..." Terry sighs, "You're my best friend. My only friend. If not for you I would be dead. You're the one who fought that dog off. You're the one who brings me food. In a way, you're my family, and I'm not letting you go out into a town run by druggies, criminals, and crooked cops alone. I love you bro. We're family. Ride or die. Let me return the favor."

"Fine," Brad sighs.

Brad mutters to himself, "But only because you're my brother too. I swear as your best friend and brother you won't die on my watch."

"What's that?" Terry inquires.

"I said you better pull your weight," Brad glares.

"I will," Terry replies, "Now let's go find Buddy..."
