Jack take a glance to the mirror where his son pointed at and saw himself. His hair gotten too long it was already in his shoulder level. And he got bleared all over his mouth. He looks like a samaritan. He never thought he would look like that since he was busy with lots of his works and looking for survivor last time. He never had the chance to take a look in the mirror.
He smiled while looking at his face in the mirror and back to Austin.
"Why? Didn't I look handsome anymore?" Jack smiled and tries to make fun out of his look.
"No dad, it was just that my hair gotten too long already too." Austin said as he was caressing his hair.
Jack notice that.
"And it would be a better idea if we both go the salon tomorrow." Austin continues and started to eat his steak.
Jack didn't bother to respond to what his son just said. He was stunned with his question. He doesn't know how to respond to his son without him getting mad or disappointed if he would say no to him.
"Dad?" Austin tries to call his father who were stunt while staring at his plate for a second.
"Dad? Yohoo!" Austin exclaimed as he waves his hand in front of his father who were not moving and can't even say a word.
Jack suddenly went back to its state and look at his son.
"Do you think we could go to the salon tomorrow?" Austin repeatedly ask his twist his finger under the table hoping his request would be granted.
Without any thought of how to reprimanded his son. Jack just agrees to what his son requested.
"O-okay we will go tomorrow." Jack spoke and Austin shouted for excitement of what he was heard.
"YES!!" He shouted because finally he successfully convinced his father to let him go outside the lab.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
He finish his food very satisfied and happy.
After they have eaten dinner, Austin immediately went to his room. He was even hopping while going to his room because of the joy he was feeling at that moment. That finally he will be going outside. While Jack was still sitting on the table thinking what he was just said earlier.
"Salon? Seriously Jack?" He thought to himself while he was trying to figure out how he could be able to escape from going to the salon with his son.
After a minute of thought, he decided to finish the dishes but still thinking about the salon thing. He shook off his head and he just said,
"I'll just need to take some actions by tomorrow." He said wile he was putting the plates on the dyeing rack.
When he was done in the kitchen he went back to his room. He needs to continue what he was doing, checking all the possible wires and materials connected to the PBOMB and SWAYBOMB. After a thorough check on it, he decided to create more of those bomb to ready himself from going to his old building to get the needed plan for his unique invention that he hadn't had a chance to finish it.
While he was creating a bomb Jack wanted to speak to DL command to and to ask something.
"DL command can you show me the floor plan of my building?" He asked and thought he needed the floor plan for him to be easy to plant the SWAYBOMB in that building after he was been able to get the chip.
DL command show him in the air the floor plan in his old building. Jack look at it vividly while trying to figure out the measurement of each floor.
"DL command how many meter to 18th floor?" He asked while he was looking on the picture in front of him every floor and its measurement.
"Base on the floor plan of your building Jack, it measures around 70.2 meter." DL command responded and Jack was very amazed with how tall the measurement of it.
"That's very high DL command." He said as he was trying to think a way to get to the 18th floor the fastest way possible.
And then Jack thought of something but needed DL command's help on it.
"Can you tell me where is the nearest fire station?" Jack said.
DL command without hesitation he show it in the invisible screen in front of him.
"12605 Osborne St, Pacoima, CA 91331, United States is the nearest fire station Jack." DL command responded while Jack was taking a look at it.
"Alright." Jack exclaimed as he was nodding his head remembering the way going there while staring at the invisible screen in front of him.
"By the way DL command, we need to change something on you." Jack exclaimed as he was still staring at the invisible screen.
"What is it Jack?" DL command responded.
"We need to change your command to make sure no one will know that I am the owner of that company building I am going to." Jack said as he was walking back in forth in front of the invisible screen until it disappeared in the air.
"Okay Jack." DL command agrees on it. "
"I don't want any more mistakes just like before. It sadden me enough every time I remembers it." Then Jack felt sad, he can't still recover on what has happen in the building.
He always filled it in his mind that he needs to plan everything he does and every moves he makes sure so he won't make any single mistake as possible.
He can still remember the innocent face of those people while imagining they ate screaming of help while being bitten by those tragic attackers (living dead). He always felt guilty especially when he suddenly thought of those innocent face of those kids that never had the chance to live.
He sat in his bed and bowed his head while his tears slowly fall down from his eyes down to his cheeks. He can't help it. He was also tired from every thing that happens. Protecting his family is his number one priority. The least thing he could do is to make them safe from a possible attack.
And then the beautiful face of his wife suddenly appeared in front of him. He was imagining that his wife was lifting his head. Smiled to him and said,
"Have patience and be strong my love. Every thing will be okay soon." She said and then she smiled.
Then slowly disappeared in the air.
