"What do you mean by strange people?" Jack looked at the old man with his brows furrowed.

He didn't take a puff from the cigarette, because he doesn't like it and gave it back to the old man.

"You don't smoke?" The Old Man smiled.

"That's not what's important." Jack looked at him seriously, he wanted to know as much useful information from the old man as he can before he disappears like the last time.

It was a matter of the safety of his girls and family, he didn't want any harm to befall them.

The old man laughed looking at his expression. "Don't be so serious. Ok, I will tell you." He took in another puff of the cigarette.

"I am listening." Jack nodded.

"I have met a few people in my life that had strange powers, I don't know where they get them from, however, I am sure that they don't get them from sentience." The old man said and took in a deep breath.

"How are you so sure that the powers are not from Sentience?" Jack leaned on the railing and looked below.

They were currently on the tenth floor of the hospital.

"Hehehe... I just know it." The old man laughed.

Jack stayed silent listening to his answer, he then turned his head around and looked the old man in the eyes.

"What kind of powers do they have?" He asked, he wanted to know the powers of these strange people so he could be careful.

The old man chuckled at his words. "As I told you that I only met a few, I don't know what kind of powers they have, however, I once saw a lady reviving the dead. Hahaha..." The old man laughed loudly when he thought about the event.

Jack gulped his saliva at the old man's words.

"Reviving the dead?"

"Yes, she did some kind of black magic ritual and then suddenly revived her dead daughter. I don't know how she did it." The old man looked at Jack with a mischievous glint.

"Was she more powerful than you?" Jack wanted to know, how powerful he could get, so he can plan ahead.

"I don't know, I never fought her, however, if I had a good plan then I might have defeated her. But I might be wrong."

Jack listened to him and turned silent, the old man wasn't giving him any satisfactory answers.

After contemplating a bit he moved away from the railing and then sighed.

"What do you think I should ask next?" He wanted to know the thoughts of the Old man.

"Hahaha... You are intelligent, boy!" The old man let out another hearty laugh.

"The new panel you got, it's more powerful than you think." The Old man continued.

"The new panel, you mean the lie detector?" Jack raised his brows.

"It's not a lie detector, hahaha..."

"Then what is it?"

"Figure out yourself. But I can tell you one thing, it can solve a lot of your problems." The old man took another puff of the cigarette.

Jack nodded at his words, "How can I get powers like you?"

"I don't know. I don't control the sentience. It will give you most of the powers when I die, however, it might not. Hahaha... It depends on you."

"Depend on me?"

"Yes, you are performing pretty well, I think you will become more powerful than me one day."

"How powerful are you?"

The old man listened to him and smiled. "I am not sure, however on a scale of one to ten, I think I was a two or three at my peak." The old man took in a breath.

"I once heard of a girl so powerful that she could be a nine out of ten. I never got a chance to meet her tho." The old man chuckled.

Jack listened to him and took in a deep breath. His heart skipped a beat when he heard his words.

He could tell that the old man was very powerful and for him to rate himself so low mean that compared to the girl, he was an insect.

'How powerful that girl must be?!'

"How powerful do you think I am, currently?" Jack asked seriously.

"Hehehe... You are a zero..." The old man said and then his body leaned backwards, and with a flip, he started falling from the tenth floor.

Jack's eyes widened when he saw the old man falling, he could see the depth of the fall and could tell that if the old man hit the ground then he would be dead for sure.

He quickly moved his hand to catch the old man, however, he was already too late.

While falling down the old man laughed loudly and said his final words. "Hahaha... Boy, remember one thing, even, if I didn't fully grasp the power of Sentience, you might become more powerful than me, so don't lose hope!"

These were his words before he disappeared from plain sight.

Jack looked below the building and saw no one there, he then sighed in relief.

'I have to meet him again.' He still had many questions in his mind.

"What are you looking at?" Suddenly a sweet voice came from behind his ears and he turned his head around.I think you should take a look at

"Nothing." He said and moved towards the owner of the voice, it was none other than Cassie.

"Hmm... They said that we can take Nicole home."

Jack nodded at her words. "Ok, let's go." He said and then both of them started moving toward the ward where Nicole was.

Inside the room, they saw Nicole on the wheelchair and there were bandages on her leg.

When Nicole saw Jack she breathed in relief. "Can we go home now?" Nicole looked at Jack in the eyes.

"Yes, we can." Jack moved behind her and started pushing the wheelchair.

"Cassie, get her to the parking lot. Let me complete the payment." He said and gave the wheelchair to Cassie's hands.

Cassie nodded at his words and then she started pushing the chair forward with Nicole in it.

After all the procedures were done all three of them reached their house. Jack even brought the wheelchair from the hospital.

Soon enough they sat on the sofa with food boxes on the table, Jack noticed the TV remote and it was still there.

He sighed and looked at Cassie. "Let me microwave the food." He stood up and took the food boxes he moved toward the kitchen.

Cassie nodded and took out some beer cans.

"Give me one," Nicole said while moving her hand forwards.

"No, you are medicated, just eat some food and rest," Cassie said while slumping her body on the sofa.

"Nothing will happen with a single can," Nicole said again with a pleading expression.

"No, just rest." Jack came with the food in his hands and then placed it on the table.

"I need it..." Nicole looked at Jack with puppy eyes.

"No." Jack picked her up from the wheelchair and placed her body on the sofa. He then sat near her.

"Please..." She rested her head on his shoulder.

"No, I will not drink too." He patted her head.

After listening to him, Nicole stayed silent for a few seconds, "Ok." She nodded with a pout on her face and then they started eating food.

After they finished their food, Jack helped Nicole move to her room.

"You should stay with her tonight," Cassie said as she saw him moving out of Nicole's room.

Jack looked at her and nodded and as he was about to move inside the room again he remembered something and stopped.

"You come with me too." He said while holding Cassie's hand, he didn't want her to sleep alone tonight after witnessing all the events.

Cassie raised her brows at his words and then a blush formed on her face.

"You want me to sleep with both of you?" She asked looking at him in the eyes.

"Yes, Let's go." Jack pulled her inside the room.

"Wait..." Cassie stopped him at the door.

"What?" Jack raised his brows.

"What would Nicole think, if she saw me sleeping with you on the same bed as her?" She was worried that Nicole would hate her if she spend a night with Jack on the same bed as her.

"Let's go, we can ask her permission," Jack said and then pulled her into the room.

Soon enough both of them stood in front of Nicole.

Cassie had a blush on her face as she looked at Nicole.

Nicole on the other hand looked at them with her brows furrowed.

"What happened?" She asked.

"She wants to sleep with us tonight," Jack said suddenly before Cassie could say anything.

Cassie listened to him and raised her brows, bewildered.

"No, I didn't say that!" She spoke out quickly, not wanting any misunderstanding between them.

Nicole listened to them and then smiled with a sigh.

"Don't worry, we can all sleep together." She then looked at Jack. "But I won't do anything perverted." She said again.

"Of course." Jack smiled and then moved onto the bed, he then pulled Cassie together with him.

Cassie also moved shyly on the bed and then both of the girls slept on the same bed with Jack in the middle.

Both of their heads rested on his shoulders.

Outside their mansion, behind a large tree, a Coyote looked at the windows with its eyes glowing red, after observing for some time it growled and then turned around.

Soon enough the animal disappeared in the dark.
