the wild animal and the beast in human skin part II

Jack woke up in pain. he had a huge hangover for all the liquor he drank last night. he looks at his woman. she is sleeping on top of him. she is completely naked. he touch her back slowly and softly trying to not wake her up.

"your body is a masterpiece. specially this tiny scar in your back. I love everything about you my 'lollipop.' I am grateful to have you."

Sidney opens her eyes. she smiles softly. she looks at her lover's eyes. she feels protected on his arms. she feels loved.

"please don't call me that my 'gentle-lion.' it is cheesy, is really my body what you like the most about me?"

"if I call you my 'lollipop.' is because you wanted to use cute nicknames with me. and if I am not wrong the lollipops are sweet in the outside with something juicy in the center. which is the most important part of it. just like you, sweet in the outside with a juicy heart which is my favorite part of you. but if I am not wrong to get to the heart I had to try the sweet parts first, right?"

"you are a brute. you said first kind words that sound romantic, but you had to ruin it all with that horny mind of yours."

Sidney kisses him. she asks him to stay. she wants to spend the whole day at his side. she hates when he comes disturbed for the things he has to do. she knows well how his strong persona is just a wall. a wall to protect his soul.

Jack tells her that he has to do a job. but today he is going to be sooner at their home. he leaves the house wearing some leather jacket, some jeans and some leather boots.

he is walking on the streets. the air of putrefaction is so strong for him to not feel it. how the town is slowly going to decay. he keeps walking until he arrives at a warehouse. it took him about an hour to arrive. the first face he sees is his boss.

Tiziano Fierro walks towards him. he lightly pats Jack on the back. Tiziano Fierro has a pistol on hand. Tiziano is looking at four man with the faces covered by some bags. they seem to be intruders. probably trying to steal some drugs.

lately there had been many outsiders. many who came to take what belongs to Tiziano. those who believe to be stronger. those who think are smarter. those who for greed desire what rightfully belongs to Tiziano.

these human scum come. with their intention of taking. with their desire of greatness. they believe to be superior. and just like flies they had all fallen. one after another one. none had proven to be at Tiziano's level.

this may be a small town. but the money and power it holds is like no other. this small town became a gold mine thanks to Tiziano. now greedy gangster come after what belongs to him. at the end of the day Tiziano only laughs of their stupidity.

"this is my territory and you dare to enter in it with your disgusting faces. swaying your dicks in my streets like if you owned it. but no, it is my town and these are my streets and you don't belong in here."

Tiziano shots at one of them in the head four times. pieces of his brains fall on the floor. Tiziano tells Jack to kill the others. but to make it in "the Fierro family" style. which means many things and none are good.

Jack takes the other three outside of town. he drives in the middle of nowhere. until he finds a valley. one of the man asks him for mercy. to let them go and they won't ever come back. but Jack refuses to listen to them.

Jack digs a big hole in the ground. his pals arrive with a truck full of cement. Jack push the three men inside of the hole. he shots at their legs so they won't be able to escape. he makes a signal. then his coworkers used the truck to throw on top of those man the cement.

Jack is about to leave. but before he does one of his friends call him to pay for a job. then he leaves thinking about everything that he has been doing lately. two of his friends follow him. they asks him to go to a bar to drink.

Jack accepts right away. he goes to drink. he spends more than two hours inside of the bar drinking beer. his friends Michael and John are also having fun with some prostitutes.

John asks Jack why is that he doesn't take pleasure in the carnal desires. Michael tells him that Jack is a domesticated puppy that is why. they keep talking while Jack ignores the two of them. when he feels like it is time. Jack leaves his friends and he goes back to his girlfriend.

Jack looks at the money that he made. he is curious to think if he goes to another place with his girlfriend. if there is going to be peace, or is it a different type of hell. he is thinking of leaving the next week with his loved ones.

Jack is so tired of been just waiting to have enough money. now is the time. he can't retract not now that he has walked so far in the desert of lies and mistakes.

while Jack is walking to his home. he looks at a guy walking on the streets. the guy seems skinny, nerdy with glasses, he is reading a book.

that guy has short black hair. light brown skin. he has light brown eyes, almost yellow. he has braces. he seems to be on college.

Jack walks on direction of that man. Jack asks him a question. but the guy doesn't heard anything because he has his earphones on listening to classic music. Jack gets angry and he yields. the guy takes his earphones off. he looks at Jack.

"excuse me. how can I help you?"

Jack punches him in the face. the guy falls backwards. with a rock he hits his head and he starts to bleed a lot. Jack looks at him in shock. this wasn't the first time he has seen blood.

but this time he didn't meant to do any harm to that man. Jack leaves. while he is leaving he looks in front of him at a teen in a high school uniform. he was scared because he recognized the man in the floor bleeding as his brother.

they are from a poor family. they had to study a lot to achieve their goals. the older brother had been accepted in a good university. they were all happy for him.

the younger brother is broken to see his brother in the floor bleeding. the culprit walks in front of him and with a smirks.

"you better not say a single word about this or I will make sure that all your family vanishes from the earth."

those were the words of the culprit. words of threat as he walks away. he didn't even had he decency to apologize.

the teen falls on his knees and he screams in pain. he then calls the cops.

.....

the next morning Jack arrives at his house. Sidney asks him were has he being. he tells her that he had to do a job. he was so tired that he slept in a park in his way to the house.

Jack kisses her cheek. he whispers on her ear. he promise to be a better man. he truly wants to change. he wants to do better. he is so tired of taking lives.

"I am so sorry, I am an awful person. but I promised that once out of this shitty town we will get the better life that I once promised to you. please forgive my mistakes and accept this honest feelings."

that day Jack went out with Michael and John to sell some drugs. Michael tells him that there is a picture of him in the news. that the police are looking for him.

many might think that because this is a place in which a gangster governs. there is no law nor cops to do their job. but it is actually the opposite. of course if any crime is aligned to the gangster. no cop is brave enough to actually investigate.

but also when a case has nothing to do with Tiziano. but one of his pawns. the cops put an extra effort in getting the pawn as an escape goat. just to say 'we are doing our job cleaning the cities.'

that is the unwritten agreement between both parties so they can coexist with zero casualties in either side. so right now Jack is about to turned into the escape goat of the police.

and if that isn't enough his friends Michael and John are not that stupid. by being at his side they could also be escape goats. so they decided to give him some money and they told him to leave the town. to never come back as he dreamed to do.

but he has to do it now before it is too late. Jack asked them why is he wanted. Michael tells him that it has something to do with a guy he attack and he left half dead. in that moment he remembers the high school teen.

"well I guess I had to give my condolences to the family. are you on this one with me or not."

"of course man you are blood to us, we are always in."

Jack goes back to his home. when he arrives he sees his girlfriend in the door angry. she yields and asks him for an explanation. how could he had send to the hospital someone whom didn't do anything to him. Jack asked her for forgiveness.

"no, not this time. you are going too far. every time that you leave this house you return with less parts of your soul. you are beyond redemption and soon no one will be able to saved you. some cops came early and I recommend that you leave now before someone calls them."

Jack leaves while he feels destroy from the inside. he is thinking about one single thing and that thing is to go in search for the teenager. and to beat him up until he feels better.

.....

that night Jack stayed in the department of Michael. he slept in the couch. the next morning Michael told him that the boss didn't care enough to stop the cops. John came inside to talk to them.

"well someone better pay me, I found were this little bastard goes. the school is the same that my little cousin goes to and they are classmates. also the guy that you left half way in the grave is his older brother, he was recently accepted in a good university. his name is Rigoberto Mendez, better known as 'Rig' so do we go now or latter."

"so 'Rig' is the name of the rat. well I had to get my money and buy the tickets for the train. also I have to convince my family so let's do it tomorrow. tomorrow in his way back from school we will beat the living shit out of him until he is left all retarded and deform."

"I am in man. let's fucking kill that rat."

"man this is going to be hardcore but don't forget that you had to get the hell out of town after tomorrow."

Jack goes back to his home thinking about the things that he did wrong. the truth is that he isn't so bad. but he is just an animal in a town when he belongs in the jungle with another animals. in his way home Jack even thinks about not hitting "Rig."

he even thinks about asking him for forgiveness for what he did to his brother. he feels sorry for what he did. he wants to fix things. but at this point there is nothing that can be fix that easily, nor he has the time.

Jack calls a friend. someone who owns him favors. he asked him to buy the tickets for the train for him, Sidney and his siblings.

now all that he needs is to talk with Sidney and his siblings. to leave this degenerate town.

back on his house Jack talks to Sidney. he begs to her. he tells her about his plan. he goes to his room. he paints while he listens some heavy metal. he paints a valley that seems to be melancholic. that night Jack slept peaceful in the arms of his beloved. knowing that tomorrow is going to be his last day in that town.

Sidney wants to cry. she smiles to her lover. inside of her heart there is doubt. she questions if it is right to leave with him. is he ever going to change. or is he always going to be the same volatile being he is.

behind a smile and many pretty words hides a wild animal. Sidney isn't sure to be able to tolerate this anymore. she doesn't feel like she fits on the picture. at this point she might leave Jack. even if he keeps promising glorious things.

sometimes loves isn't meant to be. love isn't enough to keep a relationship breathing. her love for him has reach a limit. she is about to walk away from him. she is just waiting for the right time.

"I love you my lollipop."

"night... let's talk tomorrow about your plans for the future."
