Stuck in you

Chapter 27 Implicated Without Reason

'You piece of shit!' Eric cursed himself in his heart and trod slowly, hoping to disappear completely behind Rachel.

Jack was greeted by a queer countenance on Eric's face as he drifted past Rachel. Ignoring the strange expression, he pointed towards his watch and asked Rachel, "Rachel, do you wish to go back?"

Rachel took a deep breath, and then she blurted, "Well, yes. And, thank you."

Jack frowned slightly and said, "You don't have to thank me, ever. And by the way, Hiram didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Lea's ears perked up as she heard Jack's words. "What happened?" she inquired. She wore a perplexed expression on her face as she threw a cautious look towards Jack and Rachel simultaneously.

Michael, who was standing right behind Jack, was amazed by Lea's delicate features. He waggishly started whistling.

Lea was bewildered by his actions. As soon as Michael felt her burning eyes on him, he started whistling even louder. 'Just wow! I wonder how a girl like Rachel friends with such an alluring person,' Michael thought and chuckled to himself.

When Eric, who previously wished to disappear off the face of the earth, witnessed the ongoing events, his face turned a darker shade of red. He bellowed at Michael, "Shut up or else you'll face my wrath."

Michael smiled slyly as he saw the look on Eric's face. "Oh, it's you."

He then threw a casual glance at Eric's hand as he raised his eyebrows in astonishment and uttered, "Is your hand still attached to your body?"

"I swear!"

"Michael!" Eric and Jack yelled at the same instant, but Jack's hoarse voice clearly trumped Eric's. Michael looked over his shoulder in astonishment.

"Don't mess around with him," Jack said aloofly.

With a dubious expression, Michael made an unimpressive effort of saluting Eric and said sarcastically, "My apologies, boy."

"You bastard!" exclaimed Eric, as he clenched his fists in utter rage. "Who do you think you are? I am not a kid, you moron!"

"I shall have none of this anymore!" Rachel stated affirmatively as she pulled Eric back. Lea joined the duo, and she tried to comfort Eric. "Don't worry, we won't be talking to this man anymore," she said in absolute disgust.

Soon Jack had Rachel's undivided attention to him as she questioned, "Is there anything you wish to tell me, Jack?"

Jack threw her a serene look and said, "Do you want to go back with me or not? I'll gladly give you a ride."

"No, thanks for the offer, but we…" Rachel stuttered.
