The next day, everything starts getting in motion. Everyone is doing what they have been assigned to do, although some might be putting in more work than others.
Jack for example, has made his way to the gym early in the morning. A gym he never has been before actually, he needs some time alone and there is nothing that clears the mind more than sweating it all out.
He got in a corner, and put himself on a treadmill. He can't be lifting weights, because he doesn't want any attention. And with muscles as huge as his, attention is inevitable although it might not be from girls.
He needs some time alone, because of what Trevor said last night. The first Blackmailer who tortured Anna mentally, has died when Jack knocked him out with a right punch.
Of course Jack wouldn't think twice about killing a Blackmailer, but his guilt is still taking over. As much as he helped and still wants to help Anna, murder isn't in his blood. Odd for a Blood sucking Vampire ha.
After the gym, he walked back home for a nice long shower. There, he contemplated his decisions and doings. Counting the wrongs and the rights, trying to determine if he has rights to continue with all of this.
He has no regret that he helped Anna, he would do it for anyone. And furthermore, this little illegal firm has been torturing many women so far, it isn't easy on the mental state to be Blackmailed with explicit body pictures.
That's where Jack's guilt met an end almost completely, these Blackmailers have no shame or mercy on these ladies. So why should he?
Jack won't be killing anyone soon, that's not the plan but if the situation reaches to that point, decapitation is easy with a hand able to melt metal.
He ate a little breakfast, nothing fancy shmancy. Just a couple of boiled eggs, a sliced rye bread and a glass of milk. These are foods small in size, but packed in vitamins.
Coach Hudson Lace doesn't want his fighter to eat Eggs more than twice a week, but hey let today be a cheat for relief's sake.
Afterwards, he went out in aims of reaching the bank. He needs to get 20,000 Pounds out of his bank account, he tends to be private about his money but just in case someone tries to jump him, it is clear who would the odds favour.
Now, he will need to head back to Ali's little Restaurant and wait for Trevor the Blackmailer. They haven't picked a specific time for him to come, but this kind of work where Trevor doesn't need to threaten anyone, jobs can be done early.
Even if they aren't done early, Jack can wait all day if he has too. It isn't difficult to sit in one place and Ali isn't one to avoid hospitality. He is a nice middle aged man, helped Jack and Anna without knowing them enough and even tied the Blackmailer down.
Him letting Jack just hang around for a while and let the deal be made here doesn't even fit Ali, he is used to helping more.
...
"Aaaa you're here." Ali spoke, his enthusiasm high and actual joy to see Jack. This felt nice to see, he felt at home.
"Yes." Jack answered and shut the door gently, curious after to ask. "Has Trevor showed up yet?"
"No Habibi, 100% sure. I've taken the first shift today and gave my young apprentice a day off." Shutting down the little window where he hands take out, Ali continued. "I'll stay here for three shifts if I have to, we will set your lady free today."

"Nice." Jack answered shortly, but no doubt has much appreciation for all of Ali's effort. Afterwards he requested, "Can you make me a cup of coffee please?"
"Already on it, heavy or light?" Ali asked swiftly.
"Light." You would think such a large heavy man drinks heavy coffee but no.
As Jack waited, he took in the little Restourant's calming atmosphere. It's small and it doesn't have fancy tables and such but it's clean and stench free, it is easy to determine that Ali keeps this place clean. It is easy to determine once looking at his personal hygiene, he is neat as a pen and his face has one of the clearest skin Jack ever saw.
The smell of meat here also adds a good characteristic, it is a blessing to his nose and in some indirect ways makes him hungry although he just ate.
The second when Ali brought Jack his cup of coffee, Trevor walked in the shop casually obviously with aims to not grab any attention.
Ali walked around the table and locked the door, they don't need any customers walking in when talks about illegal activities are in process. Ain't nobody stopping anybody from snitching to the Coppers.
"I bring you some news man." Trevor instantly stated, sitting on a chair across Jack and carrying a smile actually.
"Do tell." Jack answered lightly, not giving stress so Trevor can explain better.
He also noticed that Trevor looks less disgusting this time, he has shaved and he smells nice too. His hair is also carrying less dandruff, while last time Jack could spot a lot more breaking out when there was a chunk of meat in Trevor's mouth.
Trevor likely got his cut from that 20k last night, and when money is earned personal hygiene becomes a little bit easier.
"The firm will be out of London for a while, they want to settle a deal with some legal firm they want to invest money on. They want to give cold hard cash for 10% of the profits, I made some excuse to stay here." Throughout this little explanation, Jack didn't interrupt at all and he didn't even speak when Trevor ended his sentences.
Feeling that Jack might have not caught up entirely with this, he added. "They will leave all their computers here, all the laptops and phones even that keep everything, every girl under Blackmail."
Sipping his coffee once, Jack finally answered. "This will make your job easier then."
With a disagreeing face, Trevor answered. "Yes in a way, but in another way it will make everything more complicated. The Guards will still remain there, and if they notice a newcomer jumping from computer to computer they will put a gun on my neck."
You might be wondering where Anna is, well she is at home sleeping. Jack found it best for her not to get mixed up in this anymore, she already has enough trauma and shouldn't stand close to the Blackmailer.
She needs some time to recover from this trauma, although Jack is handling everything now and relieved her from a lot of burden, her emotional wounds will still take time to heal. She wanted to marry that dead Blackmailer for fuck's sake.
With the thought of suspicion in mind, and his coffee cup surrounded by his hand, Jack decided to ask. "I'm guessing they have no suspicion on you about last night, if you ratted me out I will burn your whole firm down."
His face getting red and not because of shyness come to think of it, a sweat broke over his forehead as he explained. "Nono, if they knew that I actually made some deal with you, they would be the ones to kill me. I'm not there long enough, and mercy is the one thing they do not have."
"Good, you can do your job then." Jack got back to his main point here of course.
"About that, I thought it over and I feel sure that taking the risk of being shot dead for 60 grand is nothing but stupid." Well, here we go, the Blackmailer's twist.
"How much do you want?" Jack asked, as he broke the cup full of hot coffee on his hand, trying to hold himself from knocking this man out.
Breaking more and more sweats, feeling like a fountain, Trevor replied. "I'll cut it short to you, if you pay me 150 grand I will delete every file there from the computer and the drive, I'll even throw everything from the window if you want to."
As Jack heard him out, ignoring the minor pain on his left hand, the table broke in two! Not because Jack put his weight on it but heated his hand up instead.
Trevor glanced at Jack's hand and almost fell along with the table a couple seconds before. Peeking at his left, he saw that Ali is giving him [Trevor] a hateful glare and twirling a chef's coat on his hand. Seeing that death might be close, he decided to state. "I can do 120 if you want too!"
Shaking the coffee off his hand, in a low tone Jack answered. "I'll give you 150k, but if you fail me... I'll personally behead all of you."
