Jack finds it funny and strange at the same time that Nitte would ask such a cliche question: who he would rescue if she and Amelia both fall in the water. But Nitte got the question wrong. She should have asked something like, who would you save? Your mother or me?
Jack smiles, "I would save Amelia, I believe. Although I don't think she needs saving."
Nitte immediately makes a dramatically surprised and sad face, "What? You would save her? Why?"
"Because I know you have different superpowers and you can always just turn into fish or some animal that can swim, and you definitely won't drown. You probably would like it and consider being in the water a nice treat or a nice spa." Jack laughs.
"But... but you just said you don't think she needs saving. She probably can swim."
"Yeah, but she is helping me watch the hacker, Dominic, right now, so I feel like I owe it to her."
Nitte appears to be very upset.
"Well, you kind of owe me, too. You need to do something for me."
"I knew you were going to say that," Jack rolls his eyes.
"Yes. So, I have confirmed, Jie Ai has something I need. I am going to get it, but I need you as my cover. You know, like, cover for me." Nitte makes a hand gesture pointing her eyes and then at Jack.
"I know what cover means, good God. I'm the policeman here."
"OK, good. We can go do it tonight."
"Tonight? What's the hurry? You just want a fox tail from Jie Ai, am I right?" Jack asks.
"Wow. How do you know?"
"You were so obvious. I heard you talking to Jie Ai and you were pretending like you were interested in his background, when you really just wanted to steal something from him." Jack shakes his head.
"Whatever, just come with me to Jie Ai's place."
"But, can I ask why you want to steal the fox tail?"
Nitte hesitates, and then she sticks a tongue out, "I can't tell you. You'll just going to ruin it."
"What? Why would I ruin it?"
"Once you know, you probably wouldn't want me to have the fox tail."
"Oh my gosh, just tell me why!" Jack ruffles up his hair.
"Because... I have a special seduction power from Fox Fairy. And Fox Fairy wants me to help her retrieve her tail. If I can do that, I will have even stronger seduction power and I will have it forever for as long as I live." Nitte looks at Jack, trying to see what Jack's reaction is to this explanation.
"Why would I be oppose to it. You do what you have to do to keep your power."
"Well, it's a seduction power though."
"OK? Just... yeah, if that's your power...," Jack pauses, trying to think if he has a reason to not like Nitte having this power. Maybe he just doesn't want her to use it on him.
Maybe he doesn't want her to use it on any man?
"Since you're OK with it, then, that's great. Let's go."
"Hang on, now that you mention it, I wonder why you have to have seduction power? I mean, you are already powerful enough, Nitte. You can change into anything. You can smell things. You can sense things from far away. You are pretty good at many things." Jack then scratches his head. Not that his head is itchy. It's just something to do since he is not sure if what he says is wise.
"Who ever complains about being too powerful? There is no such a thing 'too powerful.' Wouldn't you want to have seduction power if you can have it?"
Jack thinks on that. Will he want it?
"Can you teach me that, too?"
Nitte laughs. She laughs so hard she bends her body down.
"No, silly. Fox Fairy's power is only for women."
"OK, whatever. If you really want that power, I will cover for you." But after Jack says that, he feels quite terrible. He is going to be on the watch for someone stealing something? Not to mention, he knows Jie Ai. Wouldn't Jie Ai be upset if he finds out?
"Oh, shit, but Jie Ai is a friend. I'm not sure if I should help you steal things from him."
"The truth is, the fox tail really isn't his to begin with. His great, great, great, great, grandfather chopped it off Fox Fairy. So it really is Fox Fairy's tail. Plus, he's not going to notice it. It's just buried in his parent's attic."
"OK. As long as it's not affecting Jie Ai."
*** ***
After midnight, Jack and Nitte transform themselves into small critters again. Jack is now a spider and Nitte is now a mouse. Jack is holding on to Nitte's mouse fur as she runs to Jie Ai's home in Flushing.
Once arrive in Flushing, Jack can see some older Chinese speaking people gathering in a park. Jack wishes he knows what they are saying, because they have quite some intense look on their faces.
One of the old people talking is quite loud and he is mixing English words while he chats with them. Jack hears this old person using words such as "Ghost," "Impossible," and then the word, "Legend."
Jack is so surprised that he jumps off from Nitte's back and wants to want closer to them. This cannot be a coincidence that an old man is talking about a legend.
Although Amelia didn't use the words, "Ghost," "Impossible," but Jack thinks it's very similar. Amelia says a man just keeps coming back to finish missions like a machine. Which means, it's almost impossible for a human being. Hence, "Ghost" and "Impossible" suddenly connect in Jack's mind.
"What are you doing?" Nitte runs over to Jack's side.
"I think I want to change back to human form now. I want to make a phone call." Jack says.
"What? Is it urgent? Because we are very close to Jie Ai's house."
"Kind of urgent, I guess. I want to call Amelia as soon as possible."
Nitte huffs and says, "Fine, do whatever you want. Change it back to your human form. I'm going in now." Nitte then runs away.
Jack goes and finds a bush. He changes back to himself behind a bush. He takes his phone out and calls Amelia.
"Hello?" Amelia answers.
"I can't promise I can find anyone for you, but I think you're not the only one looking for a legend. Now I'm curious. Please send me the information on the legend you're looking for."
