Third Person POV

__________________________

"so... do you cook them before you eat them or...?" [name] asked.

"wouldn't you want to know?" Jack said jokingly.

she ignored his response and continued to stare at his work. he was carefully cutting all his organs off and placing them on a clean rag he found on the kitchen counter.

"do me a favor, go check if they have a bag or something I can put these in. Make sure its clean." Jack said

[name] nodded, got up, and walked around the house, searching for a suitable bag. she wondered why Jack was harvesting the organs. definitely not to sell them, they're useless after taken out of the body unless put in a suitable and stable condition, like in a cooler filled with ice. Either way, she still went along with whatever he was doing.

she eventually found a plain brown satchel in one of the house rooms. it had two passports, social security numbers, and many other important documents. she dumped them all in the bed and shook the bag upside down to get any dust or crumbs out.

Once she knew it was clean, she walked back to the kitchen. At this point, Jack had already taken all the organs out. He took the bag, lined it with paper towels, and one by one placed all their organs in.

"okay. let's go." Jack said as he stood up.

"Um...can you wait for me outside for a bit? ill only take a few minutes." [name] asked shyly.

"what for? what are you gonna do?" Jack asked, suspicious of [name]s intentions.

"don't worry about it. Just...trust me." [name] said, reassuringly.

Jack grunted but gave in. He told her to be quick and walked out of the house. he waited for about 10 minutes in the alley and right before he was about to storm in the house and drag the girl out, [name] ran out of the house with a backpack full of stuff. as she passed Jack, she took hold of his jacket and told him to run. Jack didn't question her and ran.

right as they were about to turn the corner, an explosion set off on the inside of the house. flames erupted and soon after, the entire house was set on fire.

"Don't stop just keep running." [name] whisper yelled at Jack as she dragged him away. After running for about 20 something minutes, Jack yanked his arm from [name]s strong grip.

"[name]! This is far enough!" He yelled.

The girl snapped back to reality as if she had been in some sort of trans this entire time.

"I...I'm sorry..." she said, a bit ashamed at what she had done.

Jack stared at her in disbelief. He pulled his hair back and sighed.

"Mind explaining to me what just happened?" He asked as he took out his necklace.

He put it on and just like before, he turned into a 'normal' human being.

"I...I put some forks and spoons in the microwave..." [name] said.

"Okay? First off, even if it was that, the explosion wasn't big enough to make the house instantly catch on fire!" Jack yelled.

[name] seemed upset at the fact that Jack yelled at her. She glared at him and ripped off her surgical mask.

"Don't yell at me! And I poured the gasoline they had in the basement all around the house!" [name] retaliated.

Jack stared at her, completely lost for words. He did know that she was a maniac ready to burst, but for some reason, this sudden action surprised him. He then started chuckling as he raised his now ungloved hand, took off [names] hoodie and beanie, and ruffled her hair.

"Man, you are a riot!" Jack said.

[name]s face was flushed red as she stared at Jack. His mixed expression was very... appealing. Or at least that's what [name] thought. He seemed proud and happy for her, and that made her feel warm inside. She crossed her arms as she looked down, trying to cover up the smile that had made its way to her face.

"Whatever." She said, holding back a laugh.

One by one, he carefully took off all the "protective" gear he made her wear and placed them in the small pockets of the backpack she stole.

"What's in the bag by the way?" He asked

"Oh. I got some stuff I needed. Mostly the guy's groceries. And this gold ring I found in his room while looking for the bag" [name] said.

Jacks chuckle was interrupted by a growling stomach that belonged to the girl. He looked around to check where they were and noticed a street with store and restaurant lights lighting it up. He looked at [name] one last time to make sure she didn't have any noticeable blood stains on her. Once he made sure she was clean, he took hold of her hand and walked her to the street with all the lights on.

It had a variety of restaurants. Some were closed but there were still some that had the usual red and blue OPEN sign on. Jack let [name] pick which restaurant she felt like eating in, and ironically, she picked a pub. They went in and surprisingly enough, there weren't that many people. They sat down on round booth in the corner of the little establishment and soon after, a waiter came around and gave them their menu and complimentary cups of water. She had long blond hair pulled up in a messy ponytail that reached her lower back and bright blue eyes that looked fake but weren't.

Jack gave back his menu and simply asked for a scotch on the rocks. She took a while to decide on what she wanted, but in the end, she went with _____. The waitress took her menu and left. As she did though, she gave Jack a flirtatious stare. Jack, on the other hand, was oblivious to her stare and just fiddled with the straw and paper.

"I was wondering why you were missing the kidneys." [name] said, trying to stop thinking about the waitress.

"Huh?" Jack asked

"When you were putting the...stuff, in the bag." [name] said as she cleared her throat.

"Good eye I see. Ya, I usually eat those first as they're my favorite. I'd normally save one but I was really hungry." Jack said as he rested his elbows on the table.

"Anyway. So how was it? Are you still feeling the adrenaline of your first time?" He asked as he rested his chin on the palm of his hands.

[name] blinked a few times. For a split second, she had forgotten that just a while ago she lit a house on fire.

"Haha...I guess that jog got rid of that adrenaline." She said softly.

She was a bit scared and worried about her mental state. So much happened in the span of just one day. And yet, she didn't feel bad. By now she knew that something was, in fact, wrong with her, but to think that she didn't even react badly to such horrid acts. She started wondering what would happen if she went, full-on psycho.

"No kidding. You seemed so calm and collected. I must admit I was a bit worried that maybe this was too easy haha" Jack said.

They stayed quiet for a solid minute, then the waitress came back. She slowly put the old-fashioned glass cup in front of Jack. He didn't notice but the waitress had actually unbuttoned two of her shirt buttons to reveal part of her cleavage. Her pale breast could barely be seen, peaking from the tank top she wore underneath.

Jack looked up and saw the pair in full display. He stared at them for a second, then at the waitress, then went to the glass of scotch. He said a simple thanks and started drinking his alcoholic beverage, taking small sips. The girl seemed a bit pleased that she at least got him to look at her. She eventually left, leaving [name] slightly confused.

"I think she likes you." [name] said, a bit jokingly.

"That's her problem," Jack said bluntly, taking another sip of his drink.

"Don't you think you're being a tad mean? I mean, she seems to be trying to get your attention" [name] said.

"Oh ya?" Jack asked as he gave [name] a devilish smirk.

[name] looked at him, confused and worried. She wondered what he was thinking. Maybe he was going to trick the poor girl and lead her on. Or maybe he was going to kill her. He did say before that he could and would kill anyone without a second thought if he didn't like them.

[name] did t say anything though and just took small sips of her complimentary water. About 15 minutes passed by when the waitress came back, this time with [name]s food in hand. She placed the food in front of her and said enjoy.

"Thank you so much." [name] said, anticipating the moment she finally digs in.

The waitress was about to say "you're welcome", But was interrupted by Jacks voice.

"Shouldn't you be saying thanks to me pumpkin? I am the one paying for tonight." Jack said as he took hold of the top of [name]'s head and made her look at him.

Wide-eyed, she saw as Jack came closer and closer until both their lips touched. Out of shock, she froze in place as she felt Jacks chapped lips against hers. The waitress just stood there with a disappointed expression. Once Jack pulled back and turned to her,  she put up an awkward half smile and said "enjoy" as she left.

[name] was still in shock. Her eyes wide as the plate in front of her. She stared into space as her fingers went up to touch her own lips. Jack turned to her and noticed her state.

"So committing a crime is a gentle breeze but getting a kiss from someone is mind-blowing?" Jack asked.
