100  Bang!

"Jack! Wake up!" Jack was suddenly jolted awake by a high-pitched voice as he felt a pressure on his chest.

Nicole was sleeping on his body while Cassie was standing beside him with her brows furrowed and a worried expression on her face.

Her voice sounded impatient.

"Get up!" She urged again.

"What happened?" Jack asked as he groggily rubbed his eyes, and moved Nicole aside on the sofa.

Nicole also woke up because of the sudden moment and stood up from the sofa. She saw the worried expression on Cassie's face and raised her brows.

"Cassie, what happened?" Nicole stood up and move towards Cassie.

"Let me show you guys." She said and held Jack's hand, strongly pulling him out of the sofa, she then moved them both into the garden.

"What do you wanna show us?" Jack asked as he looked around the garden and found nothing odd.

Cassie on the other hand stood at her place rooted in disbelief, 'Was I dreaming?' She looked around with her mouth open.

"I swear it was here just a moment ago." Cassie pointed at the ground.

Jack furrowed his brows, he was still under the influence of sleep.

"What was here?" He asked looking at the ground, however, he couldn't find anything other than the grass.

"There was a dead Coyote here just moments ago..." She looked Jack in the eyes biting her lips, she was sure that she wasn't dreaming as she could remember the event very clearly.

However, now the body has suddenly disappeared into thin air and even the blood marks were not there anymore.

Jack on the other hand kept staring at her for a few seconds, his eyes looking at the new panel, it was green. Which means she was telling the truth.

"A dead Coyote?" Nicole asked with her brows raised as a shudder went down her spine.

She remembered the events of the night when the Coyote hurt her and it sent chills down her spine, every time she thinks about it.

"Yes, It was right here when I woke up and blood was splattered everywhere. I don't know how it disappeared but you guys have to believe me!" She looked at both of them with wide eyes.

She can't understand what happened, however, she wanted them to know that she was not crazy and not talking bulshit.

Nicole was perplexed at her words because she can't see any blood or even any evidence of the Coyote being there.

Jack on the other hand believed in Cassie because of two reasons, first, he witnessed the TV remote incidence the other day and second one is that he could see the new panel flashing green.

He has also heard of strange people from the old beggar.

Suddenly anger moved through his body. 'Looks like I need to take matters into my own hands.'

He could have tolerated it, if he was the one affected, however now both Cassie and Nicole have been affected by these strange incidences.

First Nicole got hurt and now even Cassie could have been in danger.

'Looks like I am going crazy...' As she was contemplating her situation, suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She turned her head around and saw that it was Jack, he was looking at her with concerned eyes.

"Don't worry, I believe in you, we should eat breakfast first." He said and moved inside the mansion.

Cassie and Nicole also moved behind him, while Cassie kept glancing back at the ground where she saw the dead body previously.

Soon enough they reached the living room with food on the table.

Cassie and Nicole were eating silently while Jack had many thoughts going through his mind.

After the food was finished, Jack dropped Cassie off at college while Nicole left for the delivery of the two cars that she booked for Cassie and herself.

Jack on the other hand soon parked his car in front of a firearm store.

He wanted to get some firearms for his protection.

It was a big shop with two floors and a shooting range around it. This was not the first time he was gonna hold a gun, as his father used to have a lot of guns and they often practiced together.

Teddy always used to bring him to a firing range whenever Jack was free.

Jack entered the shop and he could see many guns hung up on the surrounding wall with glass panels behind them.

Most of those guns were automatics, shotguns, and rifles, he wasn't interested in them, instead what he wanted was a handgun.

Handguns were easy to carry and made the most sense to Jack.

Behind a glastoop counter that showed many handguns an old man with a black tee shirt and white beard was standing, he had tattoos covering his hands and neck.

There was a smile on his face as he looked at the customers around.

Jack reached in front of him. "I want a handgun." He said looking the old man in the eyes.

The old man raised his head and looked at Jack, "Anything specific?" He asked.

"Glock 17" Jack choose the most basic gun as he was familiar with it and it was most reliable.

The old man nodded at his words and then he took out a black pistol.

"Here check this out." He handed it to Jack. "Have you ever used a gun before?" The old man asked again.

"Hmm..." Jack nodded and turned around the gun in his hand to get the feel of the grip and weight.

"It's good, how much?" Jack raised his eyes again to look at the old man.

"Eight hundred for the gun and five hundred rounds of bullets, you can even use our gun range for today." The old man pointed out the window.

Jack nodded, he didn't lack money and wasn't in the mood to bargain so he took out his debit card and handed it to the old man.

Soon enough after paying the price, he stepped outside the shop, with a gun and bullet box.

"I should test my accuracy out." He looked at the firing rage building and soon headed there.

They just needed to see the bill of his gun for entry.

He soon was standing in front of a ten-meter target, placing noise mufflers on his ears he loaded his magazine with seventeen bullets and then aimed at the target.

However just as he pointed at the target suddenly a panel moved in front of him.

It was the lie detector, and it currently flashed red.

Jack looked at the small round panel and furrowed his brows. 'Can it even help me shoot guns?" He thought and moved his hand around a bit and soon enough the panel flashed green.

'This must be the right position.' He thought and believing in his cheat, he clicked the trigger.

*Bang* He looked at the target after shooting and to his surprise it was a bullseye.

An excited expression appeared on his face. 'Let's test it out again.'

This time he moved towards the twenty-five meters target and soon enough another bang resounded in the indoor shooting range.

However, no one paid attention to Jack as they were busy shooting their guns.

Jack moved his hand down and squinted his eyes to look at the target, then a gasp moved out of his chest.

'I can win the Olympics with this.' A smile broke out on his face as he moved towards the fifty meters target.

And this time too he hit the bullseye.

'It's good for still targets, however, can it help me in moving targets?" He thought and moved towards the other side of the shooting range.

In this place, the targets were ten meters apart and were moving left and right.

Jack moved his Glock up and this time too a panel flashed in front of him. He turned his hand around and soon enough it flashed green.

However, this time it stayed green only for a second, and after that it turned red again because the target moved.

'I have to press the trigger quickly.' He thought and moved his hand and just as soon as the panel flashed green he clicked the trigger.

*Bang!*

This time the bullet hit the shoulder instead of the bullseyes.

'I have to be faster.' He practiced some more and in three to five turns he got the hang of the things.

*Bang*

This time the bullet hit the bullseye.

He shot some more and this time too it hit the bullseye.

Only after Jack hit the bullseye five times consecutively did he let out a sigh of relief.

After ten meters he went straight for the fifty meters of the moving targets and he started hitting bullseyes in a few minutes, this time around, the people in a shooting rage started noticing him.

However no one approached him, some admired him and some were jealous.

Soon enough Jack moved out of the gun range parking lot with another box of bullets, a silencer, and even an extended magazine.

He was happy with his progress.

After picking up Cassie from the college he reached the mansion and just as he parked his car, he could see two new cars in the parking.

Cassie also saw the cars and a smile formed on her face.

"How are they." She jumped out of the car and moved towards the parking.

Jack also moved out of his car and looked at the new cars, a smile formed on his face when he saw Cassie's smile.

He was more happy at the fact that Cassie was enjoying it.
