Tap... Tap... Tap...
It was night, a complete night, cold night breeze was flowing everywhere as the smell of air could be felt everywhere. a half moon was shining down on Victorian England.
Jack was standing behind a bush, he was looking at an abandoned enormous metal building, it was supposed to be a factory and Jonathan Carter had to design it. but because of his unexpected death project was abandoned and the factory was left like this.
Nobody could be seen near Jack.
Jack was holding Borchardt C-93, one of the most advanced military pistols in 1888, it could fire 7.65x25mm Borchardt ammunition and had a capacity of 6 rounds.
But for some reason, Jack's hands were shaking while holding the pistol.
"Fuck... not now..." Jack tried to stop the shake but it didn't work.
He then sighed and put the pistol away, he took out a Model 1880 Hunting Knife, again one of the most famous and advanced knives in this timeline, he took a deep breath and went towards the entrance of the building.
With a slow and steady also faint steps he got close to the building.
He had a cold look in his eyes and was fully concentrated.
Suddenly!!
CLING!!
Jack heard something and rolled over.
BANG!!
It was a knife that was fired from the entrance, this was targeted towards him and was extremely close to hitting him.
"That was close, looks like the target knows i am here, then it's not necessary to hide anymore." Jack with a determined look clenched his fists and put his feet down hard.
"Pfffff... GO!!!"
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
With immense speed, he went in the door but...
"(Something is coming)" Jack opened his eyes wide.
CLANG!!
His body instincts reacted and he deflected the knife that was coming towards him.
"Aghhh!!!" A pained scream was heard around the room with some echo.
Jack noticed a shadow that felt the impact of his strength and retreated into the shadows.
"(I missed my athletic body)" Jack smiled.
He then stopped and looked around, the room was completely dark, except for the Metal that was damaged somehow which was showing cracks, and showering this place with moonlight it was dark...
Jack took a deep breath and said "Hey kid, i came here to talk, i don't want to fight you" He said this with a warm voice.
CLANG!
With a hand movement he deflected a knife throw again, "Wow, you have a talent for throwing knives but..." Jack smiled and turned to the north side.
BANG!!
He immediately caught the hand that was trying to attack him with a knife.
Jack throws his hand on his shoulders and with a quick hip throw he.
BANG!
Takes the knife out of his hand and Throws the body in front of him.
"But you are too close i think" Jack continued his response.
Moonlight shone down upon the body.
It was a body of a young kid about 12 years old, Jack was really surprised, so much so that he almost let go of the kid.
At this moment kid took advantage and almost broke through Jack's hands.
"Now Now Now, we don't want to get hurt don't we" Jack used wrist control with head control, putting the kid's hand up and having his other hand on the kid's head.
"AAGGGHHH" Kid wiled in pain but still tried to escape Jack's control.
Jack sighed and said, "Listen, kid, i don't want to hurt you, you are too young to escape my control, but for your age, you are very skilled i have to say, now please stop and we can talk about something."
The kid that was struggling gave up and nodded.
Jack released him.

5 Minutes Later.
Jack was sitting on the big box and was looking at the 12-Year-old kid closely with a nice smile.
He said "I apologize for my previous behavior, i thought you would be older, i never expected you to be this young, (Wait fuck, of course, he is this young they got married in 1876, i am so dumb)" Jack shook his head and continued "Please before we talk, give me your name." Jack said this to the kid.
"Jo..." The kid tried to say something.
Jack pulled his ear out "Who?"
"Jonny... my name is Jonny," Jonny said in a silent voice.
Jack smiled and looked at the kid, he said: "Ohhh, good, you are called Johnathan like your father, well that is a good name, now tell me Jonny, did you..." Jack stopped for a while, he thought about something.
Then he looked up and continued "Cough... Cough... Cough... Cough... Cough... Sorry, it was dust, anyway, tell me, Jonny, did your father do bad things to you when you were a kid?" Jack asked a different question.
CLANG!
Suddenly Knife fell from behind Jonny.
Jack of course noticed this and smiled.
"(What a smart kid we have here)" Jack looked at the kid that had his hands shaking.
He asked "You don't have to tell me if you don't want -----" He got interrupted.
"He... HE PUNCHED... PUNCHED AND THREW EVERYTHING... SOB... HE PUNCHED MOM MANY TIMES, HE USED HIS HANDS AND... SOB... SOB SOB... CHAIRS EVEN HAMMERS... I AAAGGGHH" Jonny started crying.
He fell over to the floor.
BANG!
Jack caught him before he fell.
"It's okay, it's okay you can cry... you can go ahead and cry..." Jack pulled the Kid up and put him on his seat, he put his hand on his hair and said this.
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH SORRY I DIDN'T WANT TO, I DIDN'T WANT I DIDN'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN, I JUST WANT... SOB... SOB... SOB... I JUST WANTED HIM TO LEAVE OF LIVES, BUT WHEN HE... WHEN HE TRIED TO TOUCH ME I REMEMBERED HOW HE BEAT MOM AND... SOB... SOB... I GOT SCARED, REALLY SCARED, REALLY SCARED AND... AAAGGGHHH" Jack put his hand on his face and said, "It's okay, i understand."
Jack said this and let the Kid cry.

10 Minutes Later.
Jonny calmed down.
Jack put his hand on his hair and said "I understand why you did it, but you know it's a crime don't you..." Jack asked Jonny.
Jonny nodded, "I understand now..."
Jack said to him "You will have to come to the police office with me, but you don't need to worry. you will not be arrested, maybe detained and send to a place where you can pay for the crime, for just a little while." Jack said this with a smiling face. after seeing Jack's aptitude Jonny calmed down and nodded.
Jack took him in his hands and said "Okay, let's go."

Outside
Just a moment after Jack went out light appeared in the bushes, many police cars were present and officers were holding common guns of Webley RIC Revolver with .442 caliber ammunition.
"PUT YOUR HANDS UP, OR PUT THE KILLER DOWN??? WAIT!!!" Donald was in front of this siege and he said this with a mighty voice.
"Reid?" Donald recognized who came out from the building from Jack's coat.
"Aghh." Jonny got scared by the lights and put his head behind Jack's leather coat.
Jack yelled out to the officers "It's me you dumbasses, take your guns down, it's just a child." Officers looked confused and nodded, they put their guns down.
Donald came close to Jack and asked "Good Lord, what happened here?"
Jack smiled and explained everything.

10 Minutes Later.
Jack was standing next to a car, he was looking at Jonny that was handcuffed, he was sitting in the police car, these handcuffs tho weren't tightly pulled, they were just put on Jonny.
He sighed and said "Well, that went well, i still can't believe it was 12 Year old kid who did this, it's insane how kids were in the times like this. well... World War 1 is going to start in 26 years huh..." Jack looked at the moon and sighed, then he went to his car to drive away but before that, he felt something in his body, something weird, really weird.
"WH... AAAGGGHHH" He suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes started shining golden and finally his entire body structure was exposed, Golden light came out of his body like a beacon, and this only lasted two Seconds. two seconds of enormous light that nobody expected here, it appeared like a ghost and disappeared like a ghost.
"What in blazes happened!"
"My word, that was frightful!"
"What on earth was that?"
A policeman was scared but Jack...
Jack was just looking at the words that appeared in front of him.
