Rowan demonstrates how to use the tools. I take it and put it inside my pocket. After that, we finished our meal at the bar and head out back to Jack and Jill. I still can cope with recent information and everything that happened tonight... I mean, how could I believe that tonight would be the last night for me to ever see Rowan again. Really, this is quite surreal. I feel a bit saddened about the fact that I won’t have ears to listen to about my problems on the orphanage anymore, a brother that I can rely on and trust, a friend to do adventure together. Rowan has become a good friend, role model, and family member for me. On the other side, I’m happy to know that this wonderful guy finally getaway to leave Cordville, maybe forever.
We entered Jack and jill and found Jack was already waiting for us. Jack was standing behind the cashier, holding something like a parcel, probably the outfit that he prepared for Rowan. We approached him closer to see the parcel. It’s just what we thought, the outfit looks expensive and the fabrics are so comfortable and light. It looks like a uniform that many officials would wear.
“The size is just like what you asked. This is probably the best you can find in Houzz! Jill is the one who has bought it, cost him greatly. Actually, He gave me as a gift for our 7th anniversary.” Said Jack.
“Ah... is that so? Is it really okay for Me to have this?” Assure Rowan.
“Of course you can have this, I always fulfill my customer’s order. Utmost, I think I don’t need this anymore.” Said Jack, while handing out the suit to Rowan.
"I dunno why, but I kinda feel something off with this guy, called Jack. I don’t want to judge a person, and Rowan also talks about this guy in a positive light... yet in my eyes, Jack's eyes look quite “lifeless” sometimes".
”Okay, give me 5 minutes to try this suit. Where is the dressing room?” Ask Rowan.
“I don’t think you can try it here, since the dressing room is on renovation.... you might bring the suits back to Cordville and leave that thing you showed to me here on the table. If you checked inside the pockets, I put some good amount of money as a substitute for that thing.” Asking Jack in a slightly threatening tone.
Suddenly 5 tall men entered that store, occupied the space and the entrance door. One of them is as big as two people. One of the tall men has a snake tattoo on his chest. These men didn’t look like a customer, and I feel that we might be in a threatening situation. Rowan and I were looking at each other, back forwards to our surroundings and then to Jack again. We’re fast to read the moment.
“Come on, you’re supposedly isn’t someone like this... Jack! How about Jill? You have been put a lot of interest living in Houzz and dreaming to make this store bigger.” Yelled Rowan.
“I used to, but Jill has passed away yesterday... he has been sick since 3 months ago and he is finally free. I don’t have reason to stay anymore... this store will probably be taken over by one of Steins family members, ... perhaps one of Jill’s cunning older brothers. The ending is just too obvious, it's all about Time, till they kicked me out from this city and back to where I belong, that sick town Cordville."
I don’t want to do this either, but I don’t have a choice. I don’t want to go back to Cordville. So if I don’t have a place to stay in Houzz, why not let me go to a better place?” Explain Jack.
This revelation shocks Rowan, as he never thought that this situation could be happening. After all, he has known both Jack & Jill for years, and they've been a great teacher to him.
“Come on, Get back your senses now Jack! You still can live well without Jill.” Yelled Rowan.
“Just be obedient and surrender those things here, you will get both the expensive clothes and some bonus money, with that you will live proper for 2-3 months. You might be able to sell the clothes and get reserve funds” Persuade Jack.
