Ero Meter

The next day Jack moved out of the house and stopped his car in front of a giant supermarket.

And after about half an hour of shopping, Jack stepped out of the supermarket with a brown bag in his hand, he looked at his car and soon entered it.

He rummaged his hands through the bag and then he pulled out a big folded paper from it.

He slowly started to unfold the paper. It was a big and detailed world map. He also pulled out a pen from the brown bag too.

'I hope this works.' Jack thought and took in a deep breath, his eyes narrowed and his gaze got focused on the empty margin of the map.

"Where is the ring of power?" He wrote the question on the top of the paper.

He then prayed in his mind and pointed the pen in the first city, he currently lived in America and he moved the pen over to America and to his surprise as soon as he pointed the pen on the map the truth panel moved in front of him.

It was flashing red, which meant that the ring of power was not in the vicinity of the first location he pointed at.

A smile formed on his face and he started to move the blue ball pen slowly with expectations flashing in his eyes.

After about an hour the truth panel suddenly flashed green and Jack's smile widened when he saw the green dot.

"Found you." He said and located a place, "Nepal..." He looked at the location and stayed silent for a few seconds. The place where his truth meter flashed green was Nepal.

It was a small country in Asia located just around China.

Jack pulled out his phone and checked the tickets to the place.

"It will take me at least twenty hours just to reach Nepal and then to find the Ring it might take from a few days to a week." He thought and closed the big world map and stepped out of the car again.

"Let me buy a bigger map of Nepal." He thought and started moving towards the supermarket.

And after about an hour of searching, he finally found a well detailed map of Nepal.

"This map was pretty hard to find." Jack looked at the map in his hand and a sigh moved out of his mouth.

He actually had to put some effort into finding the map, he even had to check multiple sections.

He wanted the map of the place so he could find out the exact location of the Ring of Power.

It would be then easy for him to search the Ring of Power, he will not have to search the general area if he can pinpoint the exact location of the Ring of Power.

Although he knew that it was still gonna be hard even after finding the exact location, it would save him a lot of unnecessary wastage of time.

And the one thing that Jack doesn't have right now is time.

He has to find the ring of power in twenty days and has to kill Rick in the next month or he might be too late to save Meadow.

He didn't want anything to happen to his girls, the quicker he solved these issues the more time he would spend developing good relationships with his girls.

And it was what he wanted, he had to spend some quality time with his girls.

"Let me go home and book a ticket to Nepal first," Jack said and turned his car around towards his mansion, he wanted to reach there as soon as possible.

He was in no mood to waste any more time than it was necessary. He would prefer if everything happend at a quicker pace.

Soon enough he reached in front of the mansion and stepped out of the car and moved towards the wooden door.

After reaching the living area Jack sat on the sofa and started searching for the plane tickets to Nepal.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly a voice came from over his shoulder and Jack turned his head to look at Cassie behind him, she was looking at his phone screen with a questioning look on her face.

Jack looked at her face and then looked at the phone screen, he suddenly remembered the things Cassie said last night.

She wanted to travel abroad with him and he straight out refused her, and now here he was searching for tickets to another country.

Cassie at first looked at the phone screen and then her gaze moved towards Jack, expecting some sort of answers from him.

"Were you planning to surprise me?" Cassie said suddenly and a smile broke out on her face.

She jumped over the sofa and leaned on his shoulder. "Thank you so much, I am sorry that I spoiled your surprise but I am still happy." She said as she grabbed his arm by both of her hands.

Jack listened to her and a sigh moved out of his mouth, he didn't wanna take anyone with him, especially one of his girls as the place he was going was dangerous and he didn't want to put the life of his girls in danger.

It would be hard for him to protect himself, and if he also has to protect Cassie then it would be even more troublesome.

And what's more, if Cassie came with him then it would be very hard for him to get alone time in which he would be able to search for the ring.

After thinking about all this he concluded that it would be best for him if he went there alone and the only person that he might consider bringing alongside with him would be Vieva.

However, he dropped that Idea pretty quickly too. He has to give her the Ring of Power himself, however, if he took Vieva with him then he was sure that Vieva would be the first one to find the ring and he might not get her two hearts.

He might also reveal his strange powers to her which could make him her target.

"I am sorry," Jack said as he placed his hand on Cassie's face.

Cassie who was reeling in happiness suddenly frowned and moved away from him.

Her eyes narrowed as her gaze landed on his face and her throat suddenly turned cold.

Cassie kept staring at him for a few seconds and then his words registered in her mind.

Her breath started to turn ragged with her face turning red, and Jack could see anger beaming around her body.

"So you want to go abroad with some other girl, but you don't have any time for me?" She asked while pointing at him and suddenly tears began falling from her eyes.

"I doubt that you even love me anymore?" She got on her knees and covered her face with her hands and started sobbing loudly.

Jack looked at her crying so loudly and his heart skipped a beat. He has never seen her cry like this.

His heart started beating at a rapid pace and he quickly moved towards her and got on her knees too while taking her in his embrace.

"Of course stupid I still love you and I will love you forever," Jack whispered in her ears and started patting on her back.

Cassie moved her head up and looked at him with teary eyes, "Do you tho? Or are you taking revenge on me?" She asked.

Jack saw her expression and could see pain visible on her face.

"Revenge for what?" Jack asked with his brows raised, he didn't know what Cassie was talking about.

Cassie kept looking at his face and more tears began falling in her eyes. "I am sorry that I kept you in friend-zoned for so long, but I love you so much now."

She took in a deep breath after saying these words and started speaking again.

"I regret it every day now, I am so sorry, I love you so much. I can't live without you now, please," She moved her hands on his face. "Please don't abandon me ever, please, or I will die." She said as her voice dimmed down with her every word.

Jack listened to her pain-filled words and even his chest started to hurt, he loved her too and he regretted the fact that he had somehow made her feel like this.

He never wants something like this to ever happen to Cassie.

"What are you saying? I love you too and no I am not taking any sort of revenge on you, it's just that I have to go abroad for some work-related stuff and I promise that I will take you abroad too within the next few months." He said and started patting her back again to calm her down.

Cassie grabbed his collar and started rubbing her face on his chest, "I am so sorry for everything I did to you in the past, I don't know how I will be able to forgive myself for that."
