"Ahh!!!

What a bliss!"

A satan in Jack spoke these out. Next moment you know, an angel in him created guilt, for some foolish repentance. Jack didn't know which option to choose anyway. Loving his action or mourning for it... won't make the fact untrue that he just hit an old man, that cost him his reputation.... he hit his boss, that cost his job. Nothing he could do to change those events.

But he was really foolish, not to think of the aftermath of his actions before hand. If he did, he wouldn't have to face things that followed...

Keeping his mask on, he walked through the streets, thinking about his action. And his thoughts were so deep that while entering his house, he didn't notice two cars standing outside, sirens turned odd. He just climbed a bit of doorway stairs, and got in without knocking or making a noise... he said, "Honey! Home! Got some waffles in the cupboard, eh?". He heard no reply. He then asked, "Babe, you in shower? Want me to join in, naughty girl?". Still no reply.

Jack started getting nervous. With the recent catastrophies gone through his life, he wasn't ready for more. His heart started pounding. Even he couldn't hear his heart in complete silence, he could feel blood rushing into every part of the body with the beat. He headed for the washroom. The wooden floor cranked beneath him, making it more creepy. She opened with spontaneously, with great force, though making no noise. Jeanine wasn't there. He then slowly got down on his knees and palm, smiling. But..No! Not even under the table. And then the only place left was their bedroom. He slowly opened the door. This time, a cranky sound came too. But not from beneath Jack, but the other side of the door. As the door handle slipped off his hands, and the door gradually opened with Jack hearing a loud shout, "GCPD!! Drop your weapons, if you have any! Throw your hands in the air, somewhere I can see! Don't act smart, or else will shoot you."

Acting smart? Jack didn't even know how to act in a shocking situation like that. Two homicides in his bedroom, pointing gun towards Jack; one of them grappled Jeanine over her mouth from behind. Jack felt blank. Weirdly, all emotions escaped him... leaving him completely blank. Casually, he said, "Guys, what the hell are you all doing down here! Why are you acting so rude? That's my wife! If anything happens to her, I'll do miracles."

Those policemen were shocked. So, was Jeanine. But Jack couldn't feel more alive (nobody knew why). So, one of those policemen replied, "We are here to arrest you on the suspicion of murder of your parents. They were found dead this morning, and neighbors informed that they heard shouts and sounds of cracking beer bottles. So, if you are innocent, please cooperate!

And, yes! Jack found it humorous. Started with a pale face, "M-Ma-Maa Da-Died!!! That's so painful! Oh! I lost Ma". Then suddenly, his emotions ran out. With a spooky funny tone, he said, " And Dad too? Even if he did... who cares for that sucker!!! And, son! Your 'Please Cooperate' melted my heart. What can I do for you?" As he said those words, he slowly started walking towards them. The policemen noticed that. Immediately, they said, "Don't Move, or we'll shoot!"

The words of the policemen didn't affect Jack... what did was their actions. As Jack moved forward, his eyes zoomed towards the second policeman. Seeing Jack come closer, the second policeman became cautious, causing him to clutch and squeeze Jeanine's mouth even harder. Jack saw Jeanine getting pale, her eyes blinking in slow-motion. Jack could feel her suffocating! He lost his temper.

Without reacting much, Jack opened his mask. Everything around seemed to pause. And now, the policemen went blank. The second policeman was petrified, who then just kept on staring at Jack's scar in horror. A bloody smile... like the Satan himself smiled upon the policeman. And then? The policeman went crazy. He left Jeanine, who fell right in Jack's arms. That second policeman's eyes went red. He was shaking. He stepped two steps back. Without any more ability to withstand that grin, the policeman jumped from the window of that house. The other policeman felt no better. His hands trembled while holding that gun. Not only his hands, but also his legs. He couldn't stand anymore. He couldn't take it anymore... that smile, that frown, all at same time, just dwindled down his senses. He was feeling a feeling that cannot be expressed even through the vocabulary of greatest literary minds, who ever lived. Because it was inexplicably horrifying.

The scar running from one ear to the other, through his lips, formed that satanic smile. But the fact was he didn't smile at all. Jack didn't pay much attention to the first policeman for few moments. But then slowly his head started moving, towards the policeman. He said in a creepy, high-pitched voice, with melodrama and finesse," A frown can create such a menace... policemen squirmed and ran for their boring, sane lives... Ha! Ha! Ha!.... think what could a smile do to this world!" And then he gave a smile.

The policeman lost his sense. The look on his face was worth watching. As if the Grim Reaper approached his ears and whispered, 'You are mortal!' He couldn't take it anymore. The policemen dropped his gun, as if he won a war; And then he turned towards the door, and left the scene, as if he lost it!
Jack asked Jeanine, "Are you okay?" Resting in Jack's arms, Jeanine spoke, though she couldn't speak properly, "W..Wh...What...Wh...What did you..u..u do right na...na..now?". Jack replied with a paranoic look, with an utmost innocence, "I don't...I...I don't know...what happened to me! I felt different. I don't know! Is there something wrong in me, baby?"

Jeanine wanted to say the truth. But she feared, something might go wrong. So she said nothing. Just nothing. Silence was poking Jack's mind. He didn't expect a "nothing". So he clutched Jeanine in her arms and gave a jerk, supposing she was traumatized and too depressed to answer, which she was not; she was fully sane and in knowledge of her love's paranoic activities. "You are okay, baby".

" You are perfect to me".

"Nothing happened to you".

"You are completely fine."

And lies on and on....
