Chapter 26 - Three Times (2/2)

Jackson shook his head and laughed at himself in ridicule, ”You saved her three times, but she has no idea...oh Jackson...why can't you mind your own business...”

...

A few hours ago, Jackson was supposed to meet a client at an abandoned warehouse for an important deal, but when he arrived, he saw a car parked out the front. He was a bit early and did not expect the client to be earlier than him, so he walked in to check.

That was when he saw Halia and Alex. Alex was sitting on a chair as Halia danced in front of him like she was in a trance.

”Oh Halia, what have you gotten yourself into this time?” he frowned.

He quickly walked back out of the warehouse and called his client, ”The deal is canceled, something came up.”

”What do you mean it's canceled, we need the goods tonight!” the man yelled.

Jackson hung up without explaining. He then grabbed a burner phone from his glove box and called the police.

After that, he headed back inside. His driver stayed in the car, but two of his men quickly jumped out to back him up.

”What's happening, Boss?”

”I think we came across the serial killer that's been on the news lately.”

One of his men quickly picked up a rusty hammer he found on the floor. It was probably left behind from when the warehouse was still functioning.

”Are we teaching him a lesson? I hate men that target beautiful, defenseless women,” the heavier man asked.

Jackson did not answer. He simply glared at the scene in front of him as they reentered the warehouse. At that moment, Halia was unbuttoning her shirt and Alex was watching her with a perverted expression.

Jackson felt his blood boil.

”Isn't that the pretty nurse from the hospital?” the skinnier man asked.

The two men following Jackson, were the ones that visited him at the hospital when he was injured. The third one was his driver who was waiting in the car.

Jackson touched the bandage on his head. It hadn't even been a week since he met this woman, but so much had already happened.

He sighed and stepped out of the shadows, ”I would let her go if I were you...”
