Chapitre 44: We want to stay overnight, not take lives.
After thinking for a long time, finally, Leah's decision was made up.
Seville! It was the first place they would pass before finally arriving at the portal of the parallel world.
And Jack became the driver during a long journey of almost twelve hours.
As Lewis's grandfather ordered, Jack must save his skills. He didn't have that great power that he can travel long extents as fast as lightning.
"Jack, what's your job? "Leah asked suddenly as she tightened the guardrails on the tip of opened window car.
"I?"
"Yes, we met at a nightclub, then you visited Aunt Lauren's house. What do you do?" There was the gaze's skepticism.
Leah's face was curious. The man next to her wasn't an ordinary person, his appearance from the start stole Leah's eyes. To be honest, Jack once made beautiful Leah's heart flutter, during their first meeting.
bizarre, Jack's image was distinctly different than Leah's.
Suspecting from the style of clothes, watches and ... take a look at the famous suitcase on the back seat. Jack was a fashion lover.
Meanwhile, Leah, T-shirts, cheap sneakers, messy hair, tired faces, they look so different.
Leah thought that Jack must not be an ordinary person other than his confession as a vampire.
"Do you think?" He asked in return. "What is my job?"
"I think? Why are you asking back! "Leah folded her arms, turned her face to the street that looked quiet. They were leaving the modern X city.
"Yes, you guess what my job is?" Asked Jack.
Leah glimpsed briefly at Jack with a lazy face. She looked back out the window of the speeding Jeep. "Mmm .."
Leah looked thoughtful.
She doesn't have the skills to guess someone's job. She was not a great girl who can read people's minds with supernatural powers like Jack.
This Jack still looks young. Good looking, neat, and elegant. He could be a final year student, or if he was a businessman, of course, he was from a well-off family from generation to generation.
Jack put on a smile, giving meaning when Leah's assumed the time was up.
"Are you giving up?" Guessed Jack with a unique smile on his lips.
"Yes, I guess I gave up, there's nothing I can guess from you. You're too much of a surprise!" Leah shrugged. Let's just say she's not that enthusiastic in Jack's personality.
"I'll tell you. But beforehand," Jack took the Vodka he kept behind earlier.
"Would you like a drink?" Leah stared for a moment with skeptical eyes.
Jack understood the meaning of Leah's eyes.
"Are you serious, driving a car drinking vodka?" Leah asked, knitting her brows.
"Don't worry, we'll rest in half an hour." Jack eyed at his watch.
"You seem like a great drinker. I remember the incident that night!" Leah put her index finger on Jack. The girl's face looked odd, there was misery there.
"Are you being sarcastic or complimenting? "
"Do you think?" Leah was distrustful.
"I don't know," Jack didn't care.
Not waiting anymore, Jack opened the bottle cap with his teeth, he took small sipping for warming up.
Leah shook her head in disbelief. Can a driver drink alcohol? It will be risky for their safety.
"Be careful with your car, I don't want to get an incident!" Leah instructed.
"Take it easy, I will not harm a beautiful woman easily. Your magnificence is an asset, we must use it well in the future!"
Jack's answer displeased Leah.
"Tsk! You're like a pimp!" Leah crashed her back against the car seat. Out of the hustle and bustle of X city, towards the southern area, the farther, the vacant, the nightfall is coming.
"Why did you give me the alcohol that night?" Leah raised a question in a weak voice.
"I guessed you would forget what went on that night. I was just trying to test you--"
"By getting me drunk!" Cut Leah irritated.
Jack turned and folded his lips, he only wanted Leah's test that night.
Leah glanced sarcastically. "Luckily there was Max that night!"
"Hahaha .. what did that blue-eyed man do to you? I did a lot of things that night. You don't know." Jack's answer didn't make the intention.
"Leah, I don't like those blue eyes. I don't think he's the right fit man for you."
Jack's words just now hurt Leah's feelings. "Who are you, I need your permission to be close to men?" Her despairing.
"Hahaha .. actually right!"
"What are you saying!" Leah lifted both hands with an aggravated face. "This is no joke, Jack.
"About work, I'll be sincere with you about my work .. "
The feeling was quiet again, a little serious.
The car arrived on an empty road, where on the left and right there was only a barren land with a large cactus tree.
"I don't care what kind of work. Just one thing!" Leah pointed her index finger with a thoughtful face.
"Watch out, if you mess up with me !!"
"Come on, Leah!" Jack raised his hands in doubt, this girl was intimidating him?
"I will treat you well, I am a good man who will protect you until you can protect yourself. We'll start the first journey like the message from Grandpa Lewis. I hope you can be a gracious traveling partner! "
Leah didn't answer right away. She assumed a little.
"Okay, I'll hold on to your sentence just now! I try to reckon in you and Grandpa Lewis even though in my heart there are doubts .."
"Great!" Exclaimed Jack again drinking his vodka. "At least you're here with me. We just have to start the first mission."
"Jack, drink slowly. You can get drunk!" Leah said trying to get rid of Jack's bottle, a little forcefully.
"Calm down Leah, this is zero. I'm used to it! I think alcohol, wine, vodka .. it is a supplement to the life of aristocrats like us. You should also drink and drink annually. You have a lot to learn Leah. "
"But I'm anxious about my safety!"
Jack chuckled, laughing at Leah's worried words. "You, dying is too close to us. Why be afraid!" He mumbled.
"Come on, stop first if you want a drink! "Leah gripped in annoyance.
If this was in X town and She could have stopped the bus or taxi, she might have debarked and left Jack.
Why was this man like this? Since the sun went down, Jack's acting got even stranger.
"Jack, let's find an inn!" Begged Leah then.
"Are you serious, would you like to stay overnight, in an outlying area like this?" Jack consulted in surprise.
"Yes! "Leah replied." I saw a building ahead.
"Alright then!" Jack whirled the wheel, "I hope you won't regret it." Softly Jack.
Instead of getting injured, it's better to find housing.
Leah couldn't understand Jack's calmed face, even though he was already sipping vodka without hesitation.
She could not understand, she would go through the small and deserted streets with drunken men riding cars. Want to convey lives?
She was battling for her aunt's life until she agrees to go to Seville, but Jack just wants their trip to be damaged.
Jack turns the wheel, he turns the car into a refueling station where there are a 24-hour inn and self-service.
"Very good! We are stopping at a nice place .." Leah shouted happily, but for a minute.
She doesn't want to waste a lot of money. She must live as frugally as possible. Particularly when she doesn't know how long She won't be able to work and make money. Saving Leah!
Why should you think about money, when Jack was here.
Jack went in first, pushing open a glass door with wooden sills in glossy varnish. The man suddenly hesitated his steps, he put on a watchful face, inspecting his surroundings.
He could feel something strange here. This is certainly a guesthouse, a car fuel station. The aura feels lonely and dark. The light was dimmed reddish-orange.
Leah feeling, Jack was excited by the style of this guesthouse. looking so comfortable in country style.
Jack's face gazed tensely for a moment until finally, a smile arose on his lips.
Leah was a little surprised by Jack's behavior, she passed Jack, entered first.
Inside there, a pair of eyes stared at their arrival a long time ago. A burly man was waiting for the two of them to enter the lobby.
Jack followed Leah into the guesthouse lobby which was made of wood, almost all of the furniture was made of wood. Old American style inn.
"We're looking for two vacant rooms," Jack said, turning to Leah.
The girl smiled doubtfully.
Moreover, the mustache man with a leather hat on his head. The man took turns glancing at the two foreign guests, with a strange look. He looked quiet, his expression flat.
Jack smiled sarcastically. Seeing the innkeeper's gaze.
"You're not on a trip. What do you want!"
The innkeeper put a gun to Jack's head.
Leah gasped. What was this!
Two men staring at each other. One person with a sharp gaze and ready to pull the trigger of the weapon in his hand.
Another one was Jack in his relaxed style. Raised his hands like he was cleaning his palms.
"There's a lot of trash to clean up!" Jack whispered in his deep voice.
