Chapter 15

Jane

Ferracco stared at the strange man in shock and anger. The strange man's grey eyes lit up when he glanced at Ferracco. The two of them seemed to know each other.

The older man put down his duffel bag and limped towards us. His eyes racked my face. His steel-grey eyes darkened with tears as he smiled at me. A gasp escaped me when he took my hands in his battered ones. I threw Ferracco a questioning glance but he ignored me.

The strange man reeked of sweat mingled with cheap soap. I shifted my posture feeling uncomfortable. His smile widened revealing stained teeth due to years of smoking. I felt goosebumps all over me. His smile was creepy too.

"It's nice to finally met you , Jane," he said in excitement.

"Have we met before?," l asked him in confusion.

I had this nagging feeling that l knew him from somewhere. A smile flickered on his rugged face.

"We are connected in so many ways you can't imagine," he said in that same creepy voice.
