1 Jack's First Death

Jack was getting up from his office at Global Affairs, an international agency to bring matters to light and either punish or reward other countries to start wars or stop them. Jack was in The United States of America to monitor their actions and report.

Walking randomly along the dimly lit road toward a local gas station. Out of the corner of his eye, Jack sees a man watching and following him covertly, constantly checking the people around him. Knowing this man might not be very good Jack hurries into the gas station pretending to shiver.

Knowing that the man was about to also come into the gas station Jack stole glances at the man outside asking the cashier to call 911 saying that a suspicious man walked into the gas station following him and he is an agent at Global Affairs.

After telling the cashier who goes to the back to call 911 so the person is not alerted. Jack walks towards the beer section to "grab" some beer while watching his movements. Jack sees the man coming towards him. He starts walking in the direction of the bathroom while looking at different beers and sodas.

Jack sprints towards the bathroom to which the man responds by running through the illes to Jack.

When Jack is about 12 feet ahead of the person and right as his hand touched the doorknob the man threw a knife hitting him square in the back where his heart is.

Feeling his strength leaving him as does his blood Jack collapsed onto the ground mere inches from the bathroom with the door open. Upon the sight of the Jack hitting the ground, the man runs forward and grabs the knife. "I have avenged you Angelica" he muttered as it started to rain in the store.

The man presses the knife further causing Jack to cough blood from his mouth. The man sees that Jack is motionless on the ground and turns to leave the building a minute before the cops show up.

Once the man leaves, Jack tries to move his body against the wall for support but he fails to move a foot. "So it has to do with her," he breathed heavily coughing up another mouth full of blood.

When the cashier comes back and sees Jack in this state he starts screaming which the man on the phone hears and urges the cops to move faster.

Jack closes his eyes for the last time with one regret but his face shows relief as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

He felt nothing, no cold or heat, no touch of a hard surface, a pillow, a blanket, or even his own body only nothing. Jack finally opens his eyes in the dark with intense difficulty with himself. When Jack's eyes adjusted to the dark he looked up to see a being sitting there watching him with interest neither talking nor making any noise.
