Jack was sitting in his house looking at the fireplace thinking drinking and feeling about different things.
Pck!! Pck!! Pck!!
He was looking at the burning fire in the fireplace as his mind went around his memories, he was illuminated by a full moon that was on the sky...
"This is the first fail i have experienced..." Jack was extremely popular because he never failed in finding out the truth and solving mysteries, he was called every single time when people couldn't find clues or were confused, Jack earned an enormous amount of money just doing what he had to do but now...
BANG!!
Crack!!
"Shit..." Jack dropped the bottle he was holding.
BCLING!! BCLING!! BCLING!!
The fire burned in the fireplace as he stood up and went towards the door to open it after hearing the sound.
It was darkening as he went away from the fireplace, sounds of wood cracking were heard as he walked on a wood floor.
Clank!!
"Who is... oh it's you, Margaret." Jack was stunned when he saw Margaret at the door.
She was wearing a gorgeous black dress and had a black purse, her brown hair fitted her black dress...
"Greetings... sorry for intruding this late, well can i come in???" Margaret looked over and saw bottles of alcohol scattered around the place.
Jack looked back and smiled "Yes of course, come in, sorry for the bottles, i had a hard day at work..." Jack opened the door for her as he went inside.
"Wow thank you... this is a nice house." Margaret looked around in a stupor as she noticed the decorations in the house.
"Yeah, my parents were collectors... i think well..." Jack was about to say something but he saw the bottle shards on the floor.
"Oh let me cl---" Before he finished his sentence he wobbled around and almost fell...
BANG!!
He almost fell, and Jack held himself on the head of the table.
"OH, ARE YOU OKAY???" Margaret caught him immediately...
"Yeah, just... i think a drank too much..."
Jack recollected himself and he went towards the shards.
"Let me please." Margaret put Jack on his chair and collected the shards.
10 Minutes Later.
Jack was looking at Margaret that throw the shards out and nice memories filled his mind... a long time ago when he was still smiling every single day ever.
"Well, that was done, you shouldn't drink that much, it hurts your liver and---"
"Why are you here Margaret." Jack cut to the chase.
Margaret looked at Jack and sighed, she sat down on the seat in front of Jack and said something "I want to... I want to hire you." Margaret somehow hesitantly said this.
Jack surprised looked towards her and massaged his temples "Margaret you kn---"
"ITS OKAY... IF YOU WANT TO DECLINE... IT'S OKAY..." Margaret like a scared rabbit stood up immediately.
"Let me finish," Jack told her to sit down.
Margaret bite her lips and sat down again.
"As i was about to say, tell me why you want to hire me... and what you want me to do," Jack said to Margaret.
Margaret laughed embarrassingly and said "Yes, of course, silly me, Cough.. Cough.. i want to hire you to find the truth behind my uncle's disappearance"
Click!
Margaret opened her bag and took out a picture.
It was a picture of a Middle Aged man with brown hair and brown eyes, he was smiling nicely as he was in front of some kind of leather chair on the leather chair there was a young girl sitting on it.
Margaret smiled somehow with a sad face and said "This is my uncle, Turner Brown, he disappeared a few days ago, my parents called me to return for his search... he... he is the best uncle ever... i want to help but i don't know anyone that has the capabilities to find him, i talked around and you came up every single talk, please just..." Margaret suddenly started sobbing.
Jack immediately went towards her and took out a handkerchief and wiped her face off, he gave her the handkerchief, and Margaret looked at him gratefully and wiped her tier off.
Jack sat down on his chair he said "I am sorry for your uncle but you said there is no one that has the capabilities to find him, i am sure there is going to be a special detective in Canada there has to be, and with your fathers influence it would be easy to find him." Jack responded he was really confused now.
Margaret looked at Jack with surprise and said "You know about my father's company?"
Jack smiled and said "I looked into your information, if you don't mind."
Margaret shook her head and said, "No of course."
She then said, "Reason i want to hire you its because my uncle is the owner of a company that many want to see fall, he has many enemies in the country, i am afraid that if this is their work..." Margaret clenched her fists and teeth, she said this with fury in her eyes and a little bit of fear.
"You are fearing they are going to get to that Detective," Jack said.
"Yes... that is true." Margaret nodded, she still had her teeth and fists clenched.
Jack leaned back on his chair and put his hand on his chin "(This is really bad timing, Jack The Ripper kill just happened, i can't go to Canada right now)"
Jack looked at Margaret and said, "Tell me when are you going back."
Margaret said, "I am going back in 2 Months, that is when the closest cruise Steamship goes..." Margaret answered.
Jack was surprised then he remembered something "(Oh yeah, international travel is highly ancient at this time.)"
Jack smiled and stood up "Well, i can help you then, but wouldn't your uncle already be found then?"
Margaret happily jumped up, she smiled beautifully, and wiped a tear from her eye she said "I hope that is the truth, but i have a feeling that is not going to be the case." she went towards Jack and took his hand.
"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, i will never forget this, my father's company is going to find the entire search you don't need to worry."
Jack smiled and said, "Of course." Jack tried to take his hand off but..
Margaret smiled mischievously and said, "I will also pay you right now." She smiled and kissed Jack on the lips.
Jack was stupified right now, they were just talking about Uncle's disappearance, how did it turn into lipsing this quick
Margaret took her lips off Jack's lips and started to take her clothes off.
"Stop." Jack stopped her.
"But, i need to pay you back..." Margaret looked at Jack somehow sadly.
Jack pulled her dress up looking away and said "Please can you leave."
Margaret nodded and Opened the door.
She left the house fast.
Jack closed the door.
--
Margaret stood outside stupified, but he looked at the door next, somehow sad she looked out the window and left the house, nobody knew what she was thinking.
--
Jack sighed "Sigh, women in this timeline are very... straightforward... i guess she was trained for this moment, well i was also trained to make sure i don't get seduced..."
He wobbly sat down on his chair and touched his lips.
And like a little boy in his fist kiss he chuckled. he took out a blanket.
Alex looked at the fireplace.
And went to sleep.
