"Let's go inside." Jack took the food boxes from her hands and then moved her hand over his shoulder to support her.

"I think I can walk... Ah..." Nicole grunted as she held him tightly so she doesn't fall.

"She needs to see a doctor." Cassie came in front to open the door fully and said looking at Nicole's legs. "She is bleeding too much."

Jack nodded, "Let's first disinfect the wound, then we can go to the hospital." Jack said and looked at Nicole's face.

He could see her face getting pale and from her expressions, he could tell that she was in pain.

"Hold them." Jack gave the food boxes to Cassie.

Cassie nodded and quickly took the boxes from his hands.

"Don't worry, it will be ok soon," Jack said and picked up Nicole in his hands, so she doesn't have to walk.

He soon laid her on the sofa and then after washing her wound with water in a bowl, he applied some disinfectant.

"You take her to the hospital, I will clean up the house," Cassie said as she tied her hair to her back.

"I think I am ok, I don't need to go to the hospital," Nicole said suddenly as she looked at Jack.

Jack furrowed his brows at her words.

"No! You go to hospital, no one knows what that fucker has been into." Cassie said before Jack could open his mouth. She was referring to the Coyote.

Nicole, who wanted to retort, when suddenly heard Cassie's words, turned silent and nodded.

"Let's go." Jack stood up and took her in his arms again.

"I can walk."

"Just stay silent," Jack said, silencing her words, he knew that she was saying all this because she didn't wanna trouble them.

"At least eat food first." She said again as she felt her body move in his arms. She didn't want them to be hungry because of them.

Jack didn't reply to her and kept walking, and just as he reached the wooden door, he remembered something and turned around, he then looked at the stairs again where he left the TV remote.

And just as his gaze landed on the stairs, he gulped his saliva, the remote disappeared again.

'Where did it go?!' He looked around the room and then saw Cassie cleaning up the sofa and then his eyes landed on the table.

The remote was placed there.

He stayed silent for a few seconds. 'I definitely didn't dream it.'

"What are you waiting for? Go take her to the hospital." Suddenly Cassie said seeing him standing there unmoving with Nicole in his hands.

Jack broke out of his stupor and nodded. 'It's not safe to leave Cassie, here alone.'

"You come with me." He said looking her in the eyes.

Cassie furrowed her brows at his words. "Why? I am gonna clean the house." She stepped forwards.

"I need you." He said with a serious expression.

Cassie who was about to say something, stopped when she saw his serious expression.

"Cassie please come." Nicole looked at Cassie too.

If not for Cassie then her wound could have been even more serious.

Cassie looked at them and after contemplating for few seconds she nodded. "Ok let's go." She said.

Jack didn't want her to stay alone in the house after seeing the peculiar occurrences.

Soon enough their Car moved out of the new mansion and then they reached a hospital nearby.

"They are administrating some vaccines and injections." Cassie came out of the ward and stood in front of Jack.

Jack nodded, he was currently standing in a hallway, and behind Cassie was an open balcony.

Suddenly Jacks saw an old man appearing on the balcony.

Jack looked at him and then looked at Cassie. "You stay with her, I need to do something."

"What?" Cassie asked with her brows furrowed.

"I will tell you later." Jack couldn't come up with an excuse on the spot so he brushed the topic off.

Cassie turned silent for a few seconds and then nodded. "Make sure to keep your phone on ringing." She said and moved toward the ward.

Jack nodded and then looked at the Old man again, he was standing there in ragged clothes and with a smile on his face.

He moved and soon stood in front of him.

"You are not dead yet?" He looked him in the eyes.

The old man laughed out loud at his words. "You want me dead?" He said with a mischievous smile.

Jack stared into his eyes. "What is your name? I didn't get to ask last time."

The old man looked at the buildings around from the balcony.

"My name doesn't matter." He said and leaned his hands on the railing. "You should ask the important questions instead." He turned his head around to look at Jack again.

"How many sentience holders are there other than me?" Jack asked with a serious expression as he stepped forward and also stood near the railing.

"None that I know of." The old man chuckled.

Jack took in a deep breath at his words. "How did I get the new panel, even though you aren't dead?"

"I am dying slowly so you are getting the powers slowly." The old man suddenly flew up in front of Jack and stood on the railing.

Jack's heart skipped a beat when he saw him flying, however, he calmed down quickly. He knew that the old man has some strange powers.

Jack looked at the rusty clothing of the old man and wanted to ask many questions.

"There are a lot of strange occurrences happening to me, do you know anything about them?" Jack narrowed his eyes.

The old man folded his legs and sat on the railing. And he suddenly pulled a cigarette out of nowhere and it was even already lit.

"I don't know." The old man said as he took a puff from the cigarette.

Jack started at him silently, he wanted to know who was doing all the strange things, like the Coyote incident and the TV remote incidence.

He thought that the old man might know something.

As he was about to ask the next question, the old man moved his hand and handed him the Cigarette.

"I don't know, who is doing what to you, however, there are some strange people in this world."

"Strange people?"
