Ero Meter

Chapter 185 Bad Intentions

As Jack was about to hang up the call he suddenly remembered something and decided not to, he thought for a few moments and then let out a sigh.

"Listen Elma." He said his voice lowering down a bit.

"Yes, I am listening." Elma said from the other side, she also didn't wanna end the talk with him, she liked it when they spent moments together even when it's over the call, that's how much she was in love with him.

"I need one more thing form you." Jack said and sighed. He wanted a gun for himself and knew that Elma might be able to provide him with one.

However he was scared of saying it to her, she was already too worried for him and now if he asked for a gun than she would be even more worried.

'I have to take the chance, otherwise getting a gun in this country would be extremely hard.' Jack thought and a determined expression appeared on his face.

He has already risked this much. And he didn't wanna loose any opportunity that can help him in his mission.

"Yes tell me." Elma said in a slightly worried tone, she could feel the hesitation of Jack behind the phone.

"I also need a gun." Jack said finally and prepared himself for the backlash he was gonna revive form Elma.

He could only imagine how she would react to this request.

Elma on the other hand when heard his words turned silent, her breath got stuck in her throat and it took her some time to regain her senses.

'Why does he need a gun?' A thought moved through her brain, she couldn't figure out why Jack would need a gun while going to an expedition to a mountain climb.

"Why?" Her worried voice came to Jack's ears.

"I just want it on the mountains." Jack didn't elaborate his answer, he can't tell her the truth and he also can't form up a lie because Elma would catch it in seconds.

Elma listened to his words and silence came form her side.

After a few seconds, she sighed "Ok." She gave a one word answer.

When Jack heard her words he was surprised at first and then confusion covered his face. 'She agreed? So easily?' A frown appeared on his face.

"Thanks." He said in a guilty tone.

Elma sighed again at his words. "I can tell that the reason behind your trip to Nepal is something else." She said as her voice lowered with her every word.

Jack looked down when he heard her. "I am sorry, I can't tell you the truth right now." He murmured, guilt flashing on his face.

"I know." Elma's tone was unwavering.

"Thanks for understanding." Jack sighed, he didn't wanna lie to her, however there was no other option for him.

"I hope one day you can." Elma said again.

"I can't promise." Jack decided to be truthful, he doesn't know if he ever would be able to tell them about Ero Meter or the strange people he was dealing with.

Silence covered their call for the next few seconds. "It's ok." Tears started falling from her eyes.

"I love you. Thanks for everything." Jack said, he realised that this could be the last call between them and he didn't wanna leave her on a bad turn.

He was going to a very dangerous place and coming back from there was not gaurentted.

"I love you too." Elma said and hung up the call, and just as she did so, her legs turned weak and she got on her knees.

She was feeling sad that Jack wasn't able to share any secrets with her, and here she was ready to throw away everything for him, that's how much she loved him.

Jack looked at his phone beeping and sighed. He messaged her the hotel name he was staying in and then picked up his notebook and the pen.

After few moments he controlled his emotions and focused on writing some questions.

'That old man was acting strange, he was definitely not friendly.' Jack thought and looked at the blank page in front of him.

He spun the pen in his hand for a few seconds and then started writing, and soon enough he structured a question.

"Did the old man I just met had bad intentions?" He asked and wrote the yes and no options.

After writing the question and the options he placed the pen in the middle of the notebook and scanned for the answer.

And just as he expected the 'Yes' option flashed green, which meant that the old man had bad intentions towards Jack.

'But I don't even know him.' Jack thought if he had made any sort of mistake after coming to Nepal that made the old man target him.

He picked up the pen again and wrote another question, "Does the old man want to scam me?" He then wrote 'Yes' and 'No' options and soon he got his answer.

It was a no.

"So he don't want to scam me and I don't remember offending him in any way, so what does he wants from me?" A frown appeared on his face.

He couldn't understand why the old man had bad intentions towards him.

"Did someone send him?" Suddenly a thought moved through his brain and it was as if someone spaked a bulb in his head.

He spun the pen in his hand once more and started writing another question. "Did Rebecaca sent him here?" He asked and in no time he got his answer.

"So she sent him behind me. She must be behind the Ring of Power too." Jack remembered her staring at his maps and even offering him a blowjob.

Suddenly everything started to connect.

Jack took in a deep breath and clenched his first, he now needed a gun, no matter what.

'I have to wait till Elma's help comes.' Jack thought and closed the notebook, he then placed it aside and decided to take a nap.

And in no time he was in deep sleep.

.....

"Why is that girl after Rick?" Vieva was sitting on the sofa, inside her mansion as she looked at Echo standing in front of her.

"I don't know mother." Echo said and looked down in fear.

Vieva sighed at her words. 'How does this girl came to know about Rick? Did Jack tell her?' Vieva thought and started contemplating.

'No way Jack is so stupid to tell his girls about Rick.' Vieva came to a conclusion pretty quicky.

From her interaction with Jack, she has come to find out that he was a clever guy and loved his girls, he would never do something that would put them in harm.

'She must have seen that page that I gave to Jack.' Vieva thought and concluded that this was the most likely thing that could have happend.

'She might have even heard us when I gave Jack the task. But how? I made sure that I was invisible that time and I noticed her going inside the shop.' Vieva thought and a headache started to move through her head.

However after a few seconds she sighed and then leaned back on the sofa. 'Whatever, its not my problem if she wants to put her life in danger.' Vieva thought and stopped giving any more attention to Nicole.

"Did you find out where has he gone to?" Vieva looked at Echo again.

"Yes mother, I heard his girls taking about Jack, they were saying that he was going to Japan." Echo said and took in a breath.

"However I followed him a bit and it turns out that he has taken a plane to Nepal instead of Japan." Echo said again.

"Nepal? Why?" Vieva murmured as a frown appeared on her head. She couldn't understand why Jack would lie to her girls and go to a different place.

"I don't know mother." Echo said in an apologetic tone.

Vieva looked at her and her frown deep end then an annoyed expression appeared on her face. "No one was asking you," She sighed. "You are dismissed now. Go away." Vieva said again and waved her hand.

Echo understood her words and took in a breath of relief, she wanted to stay in front of her mother as less as possible.

After Echo was gone Vieva sat rooted in her seat and placed a hand on her chin. "Nepal... Way has he gone to that place. There is no way that he knows about the Ring of Power..." The more she thought about it the more worried she got.

However after some contemplation her worries died down. "It would be hard for even me in my peak condition to get the Ring of Power. Jack would definitely not be able to get his hands on it. He might not be able to get through the first lock." Vieva said and rested her head back on the sofa.

'I am overthinking this. There is no way he has gone there to get the Ring of Power, there must be some another reason.' She sighed.

"The secret opening for the Ring of Power will open in ten months and before that it's almost impossible to find the first door to the Ring Cave."
