Jack was in a foul mood. Its two days now and still Jazz was missing. He knows she was getting his calls since she disconnects the phone each time. The last tracking, he did was when she arrived at the Duncan Estate. One of his guys went there but apparently no one was home.“Where could she be William? I have been calling but she refuses to answer me.”“I would suggest you leave her alone letting her cool down. You must remember women can carry a hurt for a while sir.”“That’s nonsense.”“That’s women, sir.”Jack grab the Tablet scowling through the media sites. His past life was splashed all over. Most of the footage was received from the security cameras of the hospitals where he was treated. One managed to capture footage of him entering the building clearly well beaten. There was also one where he left with his mother’s arm around him.“Do you want me to remove the footage sir?”“There is no point William. The damage is done. My stocks are still falling. Strangely enough that’s t
Jack sit down in the coffeeshop with a window view. He looked around. No seemed to pay any attention to him. His gaze focused outside. The streets seemed surprisingly busy. He had noticed William entering through a door in a building looking a bit run down.“What can I get you?”Jack looked up. The waitress stood waiting for him. He noticed she tried to place him. He looked out the window again before answering her.“Black coffee no sugar,”“Back in a second, sir.”He noticed William making an appearance with a woman. Together they seemed to scan the street before walking down a side street. He kept his eyes fixed on them.“Here you go sir,”“Thank you.” He kept his eyes fixed outside.“Are you looking for someone sir?”Jack faced the woman openly. Her now noticed her curious expression has changed into friendliness.“Tell me about that street?”“What precisely do you want to know?”“Tell me about the homeless shelter, and who runs it.”Jack senses the woman looking at him. He knows h
Jazz woke up. She suddenly has the feeling someone was in the mansion. Getting out of bed quickly she dressed then walked to the door going into the hall. Everything was silent but she knew someone was around here. The older two women had decided to stay in the servant’s quarters. Walking down the stairs she suddenly stopped. A gun was pointed towards her.“Hello Jazz,”“What are you doing Eva?” Jazz stayed motionless watching her cousin and the pointed gun. “What do you want?”“You are a difficult person to get hold off.”“I was just avoiding you. Nothing special about it.”“Come here Jazz,” Eva point with the gun.“Why,”“You ask too many questions.”“Are you going to shoot me?”“No Jazz, I have other plans for you. Now move before I get annoyed.”Jazz did what she said going towards the front door. They both went outside where a car was waiting.“Where are we going Eva?”“You will see, now get in.”Jazz did what she said getting into the back. Eva followed her. The driver pulled aw
“William, we are leaving but I want you to find my mother please.”“You would need protection sir,” he looked uncertain.“I think we should move around under the raider. The guys attract too much attention. I also want you to upgrade the surveillance but only watched from the cameras. I want to know what’s going on around here. I only want you and the techno guys to be around. I think there are traitors working for me and selling me out.”“Will do sir, where are you going?”“I will let you know once we arrived. Please, William find my mother. I also want you to check with the police what they know about Tina Duncan.”“What about the office, sir? It’s been a while since you went there.”The truth is I don’t care William. The moment my past was revealed I realized who my colleagues were. I told me lawyers to sell the whole company. I will rebuild later. For now, I have to protect my wife and brother.”“You can count on me sir,”Jazz packed lightly. Whatever she need can be bought wherev
Jason stood looking out the window. The sun was setting behind the tree lines. He looked at the two adults trying to clean the place a bit for the approaching night. He was very worried about that guy with the monster truck.“Jack, go talk with him,” Jazz whispered stilling his busy hands. He nods his head then went and stood beside his brother. He softly placed his hand on his shoulder. Together they stood watching the sun.“I am scared Jack,” he said at last but kept his eyes fixed outside.“You want to talk about it?”“I think my dad is looking for us.”“Why you say that?”“All kinds of people work for him. He likes monster trucks. We went there for my birthday.”“You think that guy remembered you somewhere then?”“Yes,”“Okay, well I will make sure we stay out of his way Jason.”“Jack, he will kill us.”“Don’t worry Jason, I know this isn’t easy but we will find a way. Mom always said there is a way for everything. We just need to believe.”“I know.” He looked up into Jack’s face.
Jack and Jazz stood looking out the dirty window. There don’t seemed to be anybody outside yet they both have that uneasy feeling all was not as it should be. They kept on watching, the sun slowly rising.“What’s that?” Jazz pointed into the sky. They both watched the darken approached.“It looks like a fleet of crows,” Jack said concerned. He watched their circling with narrowed eyes.“I don’t think this is a good sign, Jack.”“I agree.” He turned away from the window going to the door. He carefully opened it looking outside. He still no sign of people. Stepping onto the porch with the intent of circling the cabin. He only took two steps before the crows flew in an arrow directly towards him. He immediately stepped back inside shutting the door fast.He quickly went and stood in front on the window. The birds were circling around.“That’s very creepy. Did we step into a kind of horror scene, Jack?”“I don’t know but I think we might be trapped here.”“Looks like it.” Jazz watched the
“Jazz, I am not sure but we must find a way outside.” He looked directly at her not hiding the dilemma from her. He admits he need help. She smiled reaching for his hand, showing him, she has faith both of them will come forth with a plan.“I want to check something outside. Its very odd in this cabin.”“What?”“It’s clear for whatever reason neither you or Jason can go outside. I want to test the waters myself.”Jazz simply walked outside. The birds just sit watching her. She begins to walked away from the cabin. A hundred feet she turned and looked back… The cabin was picture perfect with a fantastic background of luscious green. Surprise she starts moving back.Jazz smile as she does her little jog like walk toward the cabin. It felt someone was walking with her, almost like she was part of someone else yet still herself. Lately no matter how early she gets out of bed the sun always manages to catch her outside. Smiling she watch her dog, Bruno coming towards her. When he was a pup
Jazz smiles…completely unaware how this was affecting Jack.“…seductive, captivating him in such a manner that he realises she was his for the taking; his mind, his thoughts and his heart spirals out of control. He found himself falling into a whirlpool of emotions, hot treacherous desire. He realises she was the dream he had once known only to discover her now.”He shook his head looking away but he was drawn to her. He moved to the cabin door, she stood outside… standing in the pouring rain, laughing clearly enjoying the water down her face.Jazz felt happy in the strange moment her heart feeling like bursting into a million’s pieces. The sense of sudden happiness sits on her shoulder like a heavy blanket of comfort.“Jack’s Jazz…” her voice sings just saying the name. “I know you loved me.”She stopped to look at him watching her through the window. She doesn’t know where that notion comes from but she just knows.Briefly she remembers how Allan Black played her for a fool. Her fac
