If Only..(Part 1 And Part 2 Included)(Under Edit)

Chapter 23- The Pact

Jackson opened his eyes with a blurry vision, struggling to keep his eye lids open. He scanned through the perimeters of the room, he woke up in. He struggled to pull up himself with all his strength, after a heavy passing out. Just then,

"Good Morning, Jackson. I hope, your trip to Paradise was blissful. You're welcome."

A tall figure walked up and towered over Jackson who was lying on a bed. A bed only big enough to accommodate him somehow. The light hanging right above his head, was covered by the tall presence, casting a shadow over Jackson pale, yet determined face. Jackson looked up to recognize the man. He left out a weak smirk.

Jackson(heavy breath): I'm impressed, Alvarez.

He crossed his hands over his chest, as he replied: Hiding your defeat, with a smile. I like that.

Jackson: There is no defeat, Officer. This is just a phase. And, a champion always praises a precision move by the opponent. Well that's what I did. You kidnapped me.

Mr. Alvarez gives out a giggle as he walks away from the bed,  to a distance. Jackson puts his energy in rising up from his position, creasing his face, trying to cope up with the headache. Mr Alvarez kept watching him from a far. He rises up from the bed and sits up, supporting both his hands on the corners of the bed, as he looked down and continued panting heavily.

Jackson: Where is the kid?

Mr. Alvarez: Cutting to the chase, I see.

Jackson: Consider it a boon. Jackson, "the human" is asking you, in the most humble way. Where is the kid?

Mr. Alvarez: It seems, the kid was quite special to you, eh?

Jackson's panting stops as suddenly his body get tensed and even before, Alvarez could react, Jackson stormed towards Mr. Alvarez and held him by his collar and yelled with his eyes burning with rage: THAT WAS A SMALL KID TO START WITH, YOU BLOODY DICKHEAD!! JUST TELL ME, WHERE SHE IS.

Mr. Alvarez: SECURITY!!

After, Mr. Alvarez called out, four well built, tall men, dressed in black rushed in and tried to get hold of Jackson from behind, but he pulled himself away, turned around and placed a heavy punch on one the men's face, pushing the later a few meters away. Before he could get to the others, all of the men surrounded him, pulling out their guns, aiming at Jackson. And, Jackson stops where he is.

Mr. Alvarez: A stupid would drag such a situation. No?

Jackson turned his heel towards Mr. Alvarez and looked up at him with disgust whereas Mr Alvarez stood with a calm expression.

Mr. Alvarez places a coffee mug, with steaming coffee over the wooden table, on the either side of which Jackson kept seated, looking straight towards a nowhere, guarded by two men standing behind him. Mr. Alvarez looked over at Jackson and pulled himself a chair towards the table facing Jackson and leaned his back towards the rest. His eyes fixated on Jackson.

Mr. Alvarez: Jackson! So,...

Jackson: Where is Sarah.

Mr. Alvarez:...sorry?

Jackson: Where. is. the. kid?

Mr. Alvarez:...she is completely safe.

Jackson:...that is NOT WHAT IS ASKED FOR.

Mr. Alvarez: I suggest you calm down, kingpin.

Jackson: Just tell me where she is, before you regret.

Mr. Alvarez: You do have some balls, young man. You are surrounded by my men and you are giving me threats. Wow!

Jackson: Let us just cut to the chase, shall we?
