Jack slowly approaches the door leading into the room where Rebecca is being kept. He looks at his mini map and sees that she is surrounded by two guards.

"Alright, just two of em. Shouldn't be any problem." Jack tightens his grip around his knife and slowly and carefully opens the door.

As he peeks inside, he sees the guards facing Rebecca and they seem to be in a discussion, not noticing Jack at all.

He approaches with stealth as he grabs one guy by the and bring him in tight to him and takes his knife and quickly slits the guy's throat.

The other man turns to the commotion and sees his buddy fall on the ground and Jack lunges at him.

The man kicks Jack in the face, sending him on his back. The man quick rushes over to Jack and pulls out a machete.

"You're going to pay for that!" He swings down on Jack! But Jack rolls into the man's leg causing him to miss. Jack grabs him by the leg and causes him to fall over him. The man's face bounces off the ground. Jack quickly gets on top of the man and sticks the knife through his ear and slowly twists it out. The man twitches for a few seconds before dying.

Turning his attention toward Rebecca, she seems unconscious. Jack hurries over to her, "Please still be alive..." He checks her pulse. He feels a beat, "Oh, thank god."

Jack checks her body for any wounds, finds a few scraps and bruising but nothing left threatening. He picks her up and heads outdoors.

A few moments later, he and an unconscious Rebecca are outside. Jack makes his way to his hideout.

A few hours later he happens upon his hideout, a covered tent inside a rundown supermarket. Inside there are shelves emptied, with light fixtures hanging from the ceiling. The ground is covered in dust and dirt as Jack brings Rebecca inside and lays her down on a small bed.

"Easy now." Jack says as he gingerly lays her down.

Jack proceeds to get over his supplies, seeing that he has some canned food, marked with Spaghetti Os with Hot Dogs. A smile appears on his face, "This is the good stuff, now just need to get my little stove out and get cooking!" Jack rubs the back of his head as he searches through his footlocker, a medium size container and finds his stove and a small propane tank.

Lifting the tank up it seems it still has some propane inside, so he sets up the stove and turns everything on. He starts cooking the cans of Spaghetti Os he has.

Just as he is about to finish, he hears Rebecca start stirring around in the bed. He lowers the temperature on the stove and turns his attention toward her.

Gently approaching he sees Rebecca slowly open her eyes.

She looks at him like a scared cat. She immediately jumps to the opposite side of the bed, "No, please don't! Leave me alone!" She shouts out toward Jack as he stops in his tracks and lifts his arms up. Showing her that he means no harm.

"Easy now, Rebecca, is it?" Jack says in a calming manner.

She slowly nods her head, "How do you know my name?"

Jack slowly points to a wallet that he had taken out of her back pocket, "Your name was on the license. Sorry, had to know who you were."

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

She slowly approaches where the wallet is and snatches it up. Then immediately going back into her previous position.

"I'm not here to harm you, Rebecca. I actually just brought you back here from those bandits. And look here." Jack points behind him, "I am making some food, I hope you like Spaghetti O's. I have plenty." He says with a smile.

Rebecca keeps her guard up, but then the smell of the food hits her nose, and her stomach reacts, letting out a low grumble. Her face turns red as she slowly lets her guard down.

Jack lets out a small chuckle, "Well I guess that answers that."

He goes back over to the food and starts stirring it.

Rebecca sits on the edge of the bed watching Jack with curious eyes. He feels her eyes burning into him as he finishes cooking and grabs two bowls and two spoons from his footlocker. Seeing that they aren't dirty he fills both bowls up, places a spoon in each one and hands a bowl full of Spaghetti Os to Rebecca. "Here."

She cautiously takes the bowl from his hands; Jack begins eating it right away.

A few moments later he realizes that Rebecca hasn't taken a single bite.

"It's going to get cold; you know. Eat up." Jack gestures to eating to her.

She grabs the spoon and begins taking small bites. As soon as the food touches her lips she lights up. In the matter of a few seconds the bowl is cleaned out.

"Wow. Nice job." Jack says admiring Rebecca's appetite.

Rebecca slightly blushes, handing the bowl back to Jack.

"Want seconds?"

Rebecca nods her head.

Jack lets out a chuckle as he puts his bowl down and grabs hers. He makes his way to the food and pours the rest into her bowl. Handing the bowl back to Rebecca. Jack says, "Easy now, don't want you to be getting sick.

She slowly eats the food.

They both finished their food.

"Follow me, Rebecca. I'll show you where to wash up." Jack gestures to Rebecca to follow him.

She nods and steps behind Jack. Standing up in front of him he notices she pretty short, can be any taller than 5 feet.

He escorts her to a washroom in the back and shows her a tub. "This is where to bathe. I'll go grab some water; the towels are right there."

Jack rushes out, grabbing some water. While Rebecca undresses and wraps herself in a towel.

Soon after Jack returns with a pallet jack with a piece of wood on it. On the wood are three big pots of boiling water.

"I got you some hot water." Jack says with a smile as he starts pouring the water into the tub. Rubbing the back of his head he says, "now I would wait a few minutes for it to cool down, but you should be good."

Jack leaves the room as Rebecca slowly dips into the hot bath water. He hears her sigh as she slowly descends into the water.

A smile appears on his face as he walks around, not straying too far from where Rebecca is.

Almost an hour goes by, and he finally hears Rebecca getting out of the tub. As he hears her finished getting dressed, he goes and sees her.

Awestruck by what she looks like his mouth gapes up. Staring back at him is a blonde beauty, with beige colored skin, the clothes he picked out for her hug tightly to her body, emphasizing her curves. Her eyes got cleaned up showing off her beautiful, purple-colored eyes.

She approaches Jack cautiously, once a few feet away she speaks up, "Um are you okay?"

Jack shakes his head, "Yea yeah, I'm fine. You clean up nicely."

Rebecca blushes slightly as she walks up to Jack, "Thank you. It's your turn now right?"

He nods his head, "Yeah. You can go back to the tent if you want. It's pretty late."

She shakes her head, "I'll wait for you here."

Jack rubs the back of his head as he shrugs his shoulders, "Alright. I'll be out in a minute."

Jack walks inside and starts bathing.

Rebecca becomes curious as to what Jack looks like underneath all the blood and dirt, so, she peaks her head around the corner.

She sees a athletic man, with knife and bullet scars all around his body. She was shocked to see the history written on him, but quickly regained her senses and looked away.

A few minutes later Jack walks out in new clothes. a long-sleeved shirt and jeans with his boots on.

He turns toward Rebecca, "Shall we?" he says extending his arm.

She grabs his arm and smiles.

"Let's go."

As they return to the tent Jack sets up a bed for himself and lets Rebecca sleep on his bed.

Night soon falls and Jack stands up, "Well, I'm off to bed. Have a good night." As he's about to step out Rebecca reaches out to him.

"Please don't go." She says pleading to Jack.

He turns around, "Are you sure. I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

She shakes her head, "I-I don't want to be alone right now."

Jack pats her on the head, "Alright. This bed is big enough for two so just move on over."

Within seconds of laying down, Rebecca is out cold, holding onto Jack's hand.

Jack turns to her, "You'll be alright." And within a few minutes after that he's off to dreamland too.
