Chapter 184 Control Freak

"Ok Amir, keep an eye on him, I want to know everything about him." The lady from the other side of the phone said.

"Ok." The old man nodded and hung up the call, he was wearing a straw hat and a red coloured shirt with brown pants, the old man had tattoos on his chest and a cigar in his mouth.

He moved his thin hand up and tilted the straw hat slightly forwards. He then stood up from his seat and took a puff from the Cigar.

He saw Jack moving inside the city and soon enough he started following him with a sharp gaze.

Jack on the other hand didn't know that the old man was following him. He was moving through the city in ignorance and looking at the different scenery.

He could smell the spicy aroma of the place and there were many small stalls with local fast foods.

Amir the Old man looked at Jack moving towards a small restaurant and stopped in his tracks, 'He must be out here to eat some food, madam want to know everything about him, should I go talk?' He thought.

'That guy doesn't know me and he doesn't look dangerous too.' A smile formed on his face. 'Maybe I can torture all the information out of him.' A creepy smile formed on his face.

He looked at Jack sitting in the shop and took in breath, he then took out his phone and dialed the lady he was previously talking to.

"What now?" An annoyed voice came from the other side of the call.

"Madam Rebecca, Can I torture him a bit, to get information out of him?" Amir said directly without beating around the bush and his creepy smile was still on his face.

"Torture? No, He is mysterious, just keep an eye on him." Rebecca said from the other side of the call.

"But Madam, it can be more efficient this way, and I don't think he is more powerful then me, he didn't even notice my presence." Amir tried explaining.

Silence came as the reply form the other side. However Amir didn't say anything as he knew that Rebecca was thinking something.

After about thirty seconds of silence her voice came again. "No torture, but if everything else fails, you can beat him a bit, but don't do overboard." Rebecca said with slight hesitation in her voice.

Amir's smile widened at her words, "Dont worry Madam, I will only roughen his edges a bit." One could see an evil glint in his eyes.

"Resort to violence only when everything else fails, do you understand, and under no condition you should kill him."

"I will follow your orders." Amir said and hung up the call, his eyes narrowed in a smile and an evil chuckle moved out of his mouth.

"I will get money to play with a prey after a long time. This is great." Amir almost laughed out hysterically at his own words.

However he controlled himself and moved towards the small restaurant Jack was in.

He could see him eating chicken and rice.

"Hello young boy, are you a tourist?" Amir moved and came in front of Jack, he kept an amiable smile on his face, so Jack don't suspect anything.

Jack, who was busy eating his food when suddenly heard a voice, moved his head up and looked at the source.

It was an old man in front of him, and there was a smile on his face.

"Yes." Jack replied, trying to be as polite as he could.

Amir nodded at him and sat in front. "There are many tourist these days, it seems that the country is getting popular." Amir said with a smile on his face.

Jack politely smiled at his words. He was a natural inteovert form the core and he didn't like to speak with people in general and specially strangers.

When Amir saw his response he took in a deep breath. "Where are you from young man?" Amir asked trying to open up with Jack.

Jack listened to his question and smiled. "America." He gave a one word answer.

"On America, I heard it's a nice place, I want to go there." Amir clicked on the table. "I have never been there." He murmured again.

Jack heard him and suddenly noticed the truth panel above Amir's head flagsing red.

'Why is this old man lying?' Jack thought, however externally nothing changed on his expression, his polite smile was still on his face.

"You have never been to America before?" Jack asked with his brows raised, he wondered why the old man was lying.

"Yes, I never did, but I always wanted to." Amir replied as he laughed internally. 'He has started responding to my words, I will make him open up quickly.' He thought.

Jack saw the truth panel flashing red over Amir's head.

"You should." Jack replied and started eating his food again.

"How is the food?" Amir tried to start a conversation again.

"Good." However Jack didn't give him any chances with his one word replies.

When Amir heard his reply, he gritted his teeth in annoyance. 'This boy! He is so hard to talk to, their is no other way left, I tried my best.' He thought and stood up form the seat.

"Ok boy, enjoy your food." Amir said with a smile and moved out of the restaurant.

Jack looked at him going away and a furrow appeared on his borw. He looked around the Resturant and there were many other foreigners there too.

'Why did he came to talk to me?' Jack found it strange that the old man was trying so hard to talk to him even when Jack showed his disinterest pretty early.

Jack thought for a moment and then started eating his food again.

After quickly finishing his plate and paying the money, Jack moved out of the restaurant and looked around. The old man was no where to be seen.

'Was it a coincidence?' A thought moved through his brain. 'No I can't slack, I have to keep be careful of every step I take. It's better to be safe then sorry.' He thought and took out his phone.

He searched for the gun shop on the internet and after about five minutes his head started to hurt. 'This is troublesome, I can't legally buy a gun in this country, I will need a license.'

Jack read out a few articles and found out that getting guns in this country was truly a pain in ass, not only does he need a licence, it's hard to even find a gun store in this country.

'I have to get a gun illigealy.' He thought and sighed, troubles were stacking for him.

He turned around and moved towards his hotel again, and just as he reached his room and closed the door his phone started to ring.

He took out the phone form his picked and looked at who was calling.

"Elma." A smile formed on his face and he quickly picked up the call.

"Hello." Jack said.

"Send me your location, there will be few people at your doorsteps to help you within few hours." Elma said form the other side.

"I love you so much." Jack said, grateful that Elma was ready to help him.

"Don't try to butter me. You will need to compensate when you return, I want you to be with me for a whole week exclusively." Elma said with an annoyed tone.

"You can have me for as long as you want." Jack said in a deep voice.

"Don't make promises you can't keep." Elma snorted. "But remember, one week, I won't let you go anywhere." She said again.

Jack listened to her and turned silent for a few seconds and then he spoke up again. "Ok, but I will chose the week." He said.

"Hmph! You are always so annoying! Why are you such a control freak?" Elma annoyed voice came form the other side again.

"Don't speak to me like that. I already promise that I will spend a week with you, and I always keep my promise." Jack said in a serious tone, he doesn't like when

"What if you decided to spend that week ten years later? I can't wait that long." Elma's cheeks puffed up.

"Next four months, It won't take more than four months." Jack promised.

Elma listed to him and stayed silent for a bit, after that she sighed and spoke. "Do you promise?"

"Yes I do." Jack said with a nod. He could do at least this much when she was helping him in such a big task. "I am sending you the location." He said again and was about to hung up the call.

"Wait, don't cut the call." Her panicked voice stopped him form hanging up.

"What?" Jack asked with his brows furrowed.

"Ahh... I am sorry." Elma murmured in a guilty tone.

"Sorry? For what?" Jack couldn't understand what she was asking forgiveness for.

"Sorry for calling you a control freak." She murmured again.

When Jack heard her he understood, "Don't worry about it."
