Chapter 21 - Don't Be Painful

Amid the noise of the crowded street, Jack sat on the cold doorstep and looked at his sweaty, trembling palms.

His thoughts waddled heavily in his head - "... how could I withstand all this? .. It seemed to turn me inside out ... I am still feeling nauseous, even though the Chinese man finally rested after these hellish hours ..."

Gunther smiled softly and threw up his hands - "Because there was no point in leaving. Moreover, if you left, the prisoner would have to wait even longer for his repose until a new translator was found. Just imagine sitting there wounded ... worn out ... feeling incessant pain all over my body and waiting for death. That's why you stayed. You endured it not only for yourself but also for him. "

Jack grinned in exhaustion and shook his head. "Okay, I get it, that's enough. Your mouth is capable of convincing even a priest that bestiality is a godly occupation. "

In response, O'Dim grinned and shrugged, as if he didn't understand what the guy was talking about.

There were calm footsteps behind Jack. The steps were light, so the guy immediately knew that it was Revie.

- How are you? She asked calmly and sat down next to him

- What do you think? - Jack asked gloomily, looking at the wall across the street.

"I think you're sick." - Revi shrugged slightly and took out a cigarette

"… Do you think? And you thought when you told me '' We'll just beat him a little and that's it. ''?

Revie's gaze grew sharp. "Don't talk to me like that, Jackie." Are you waiting for an apology? Well, I'm sorry, shit happens. Do you think I was counting on this shit? Do you think I enjoyed torturing this stubborn bastard myself?

Jack tensed for a moment, realizing that it was foolish to pull a tiger by the mustache, and then grinned - I think you cheated me, Revie. This will be confirmed when I understand that you are as good a shooting teacher as a ballerina is.

- Ha ?! - Revi was indignant when she was about to drag on - Do you doubt me?

Jack smiled wearily and looked defiantly at the girl - Very. I doubt it very much.

Revi bared her teeth and brought her face closer to the guy - Oh, I see someone bolder? Do you think I won't make a couple of holes in your ink?

- Go ahead. - Jack said calmly, looking into her eyes

Revi chuckled and inhaled, exhaled smoke through her nose - You can be seen still shocked by what happened since you lost your fear, but nothing. After a while, it will let you go, and you will again tremble at the sight of me.

Jack rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to the street, turning away from the girl.

As soon as he did this, Revi turned her gaze to his face, which was slightly visible from the side - "He lost weight again and became nicer ... Is this how life in a brothel affects the guys? .." - Then she looked at Jack's lips and thought

After a moment, Revi smiled, pulled out a cigarette from her mouth, and crawled over to the guy - Na, take a drag.

- What? - Jack was surprised when Revi brought a half-smoked cigarette to his lips - I don't smoke.

"But you look like a man who needs to smoke. - with a twinkle in her eyes, said Revi, slightly grinning

Jack sighed, looked at the cigarette, the filter of which was still a little wet from the girl's lips - I repeat, I do not like smokers and I do not like this business. - mentally he was embarrassed - "Come on ..."

Gunther just chuckled, dispelling his mysterious, serious image.

Revi's smile froze - Disdain? - she narrowed her eyes

- What? - Jack was surprised, embarrassed

- Do you disdain me? So you don't want to drag on my cigar?

- No…

- Then take a drag. - the girl insistently said

The guy sighed. "Okay… but only once, okay? - he said firmly

- As you want. Revi shrugged her shoulders contentedly.

Shaking his head, Jack hesitated, gently kissed the cigarette, and inhaled

- Kha-Kha-Kha! What a crap! I am doing the right thing that I do not smoke! He exclaimed, clutching his throat

Meanwhile, Revi, with a wide, satisfied grin, began to slap him on the back - Weak! Hahaha!

- Kha, fuck off! - Jack dismissed, getting up - Kha, tomorrow evening we'll meet at Eda's. I buy cartridges and you teach me how to shoot.

Revi threw her hands behind her head in satisfaction - Yeah. Everything is valid.

- Okay - he shook his head - I went.

- Wait, give you a ride? - the girl stood up abruptly

At first, Jack wanted to refuse, because it hurts this girl is persistent and it was already starting to strain him a little, but remembering what happened the last time he decided to walk, he changed his mind - Okay. Take it.

- Fine, jump in. - the girl walked with a flying gait towards the car

Gunther put on a cute little face - "Just look, they are already driving him home."

- "Back off." - Jack mentally sighed, being in confusion - "I'm already annoyed by all this ... it feels like Revi and I have changed places ... As if she is a man, and I am a woman ..."

- "And why do you think so?" - Mr. Mirror smiled

- "Well ... it's as if she is trying to get me ... and I don't understand why ..."

"As for the first, Jack, it's not the fate of women, but the fate of the one who creates good' demand '' ". For example, male stars create good 'demand' 'and many, many women chase such men with their' supply ''. Do you think that if these popular men are sought after by the opposite sex, then they are women? "

Jack was surprised - "It makes sense, but ... But our situation is a little different ..."

Gunther spread his arms. "Well, the situation here is a little more complicated. The thing is that Revie's character is more severe, persistent, and, in principle, chaotic, and you are more easy-going, calm, innocent, and gentle. That's all."

Jack sighed inwardly and looked at the pleased Revie who was driving along to some rock band on the radio.

- "As for the second, then ... it always happens that way. People are often surprised that they suddenly start liking someone who doesn't seem to suit their tastes. You know about love at first sight, so this is not loving, but falling in love, which can only grow into love. Why are you so hooked on Revie? Who knows, often there is no reason. It just happens spontaneously, Jack. "

The guy chuckled - "O'Dim, do you know that you are a master of evasive answers?"

- "I always knew about it." - smiled mister mirror

...

The red car pulled up in front of the brothel, and Jack stepped out, relieved.

Revy grinned at the guy through the glass, and then sharply pressing the gas pedal, she drove away

Jack shook his head and looked at Hiro, who was already waiting for him to practice.

The boy ran up to Jack and happily asked - Shall we run?

In response, he smiled, ruffled Hiro's hair, and said - Yes, I'll change now, wait.

…An hour later…

After running a short marathon, Jack and Hiro sat on a bench that was not far from '' Ishtar ''

- We ran well. - said Jack, wiping his sweaty face with a smile

- Yeah. - Hiro said with a soft, sweet smile, looking at the starry sky - Thank you, Jack ...

- What? - he did not understand, turning towards the guy

- Thanks for all. - said Hiro, shifting his gaze from the sky to Jack's face - I used to be lonely, but then you appeared and gave me a friend first, and then a family.

Tiny tears of joy rolled down Hiro's face.

Jack himself froze in shock - What family? He asked, not understanding

- Well, how is it? All the sisters in your institution are almost like family to me. - the guy with wet eyes smiled - They call me my little brother, give candy and sometimes feed pigeons with me. You gave me a family, Jack. You gave me happiness. Thank you for that, friend.

Jack didn't know what to think. He felt good and bad at the same time. - "Here s-bitch, do not cry, or even my eyes begin to itch ..."

Pulling himself together, Jack smiled - No problem, Hiro. I'm glad I helped you.

- Yeah. - Hiro said happily, wiping his tears with his sleeve - Okay, I'll go to bed. I need strength to do my job well. Good night, Jack. - said the guy, running towards the brothel

Following him with his gaze, Jack thought - "Infection ... I have a system, but I can not cure just a boy ..."

- "Request accepted." - Gunter grinned
