"So he finished making the deal with the other me huh..", I said as I was taking a sip of coffee at a room that I rented in some hotel.
Jack the Reaper just finished making the deal with my other self who's currently leaving the abandoned house. And even though I'm not observing them from a distance, I'll still be able to know what the other me's doing. We're connected after all..
The other me is still the same me but from another point of time. I summoned her back when we were about to trap Jack the Reaper on my apartment. But after feeling that something was off, I came to a conclusion of summoning another me from another point of time that is only 1 second ahead of the specific event.
I was able to do this because of my pocket watch, I named it Great Ben but I don't really use the name that often. The pocket watch was given to me from a person who I cherished the most 50 years ago, and even now I still don't claim it as my own..
After summoning the other me, I stopped time using the watch and got out from the apartment building and went far, far enough so that I'll still be able to sense my other self.
It's a complicated matter to mess with time and even if I try to explain everything on how I can feel or see what the other me is doing, most of the people won't be able to understand it..
"It'll take a month after that deal is over, so I guess I'll have to wait while hatching another plan..", I muttered to myself.
After sipping the last drops of my coffee, I went to the bed that's conserved for me in the hotel and lied down and started to think..
Jack is already on the move and I'm guessing that this is his final plan, enslaving my other self and doing whatever he wants with her. My other self will have a hard time and so do I since we're connected, but there's a difference. Since my other self is in the actual event and is witnessing everything, she'll eventually lose her hope and sanity, and it'll make her break. While I'm not witnessing it in real time, then I can only feel but I won't break.
"Time is really confusing, and yet it's odd because I'm able to understand it's properties..", I said to myself.
Jack probably doesn't know about my powers, so he's not going to change or make a new plan for himself. Which makes this perfect and it'll all play just like how I want it to be. But now to think of how to capture him..
If the 1 month deal is over, I'm certain that he won't let the women on the cards free, and since he was planning to kill me at the very beginning makes it even harder for the other me to escape the final situation.
If Jack makes the decision of taking all of the souls that he has including mine, then it'll be really difficult to save the women and myself at the same time...
That's why.. I have to save the women first before I save myself. But in order for me to do that, I have to make a situation where Jack leaves the cards behind the abandoned house even for just a second or a minute. If that situation happens then I'll take the cards immediately and replace them with a duplicate..
"But I don't know what the cards look like so I won't be able to make a duplicate that easily...", I said as I got up and sat on the side of the bed.
After saying those words, I finally came to a conclusion of using the other me for the last time.. It's not a hard task, I'll just have to tell the other me to look at the cards. And since we're both connected, then I'll be able to see what she sees.
Now all that's left is how to make a situation and how to tell the other me about this plan..
Since I'm 1 second behind of my other self, I won't be able to deliver her a message since she's the future. I'm able to see what she sees because she's 1 second ahead of me, meaning that after she sees something and remembers it in her head, then I'll be able to remember it as well.
I'm doing this because if I somehow got the detail of the cards incorrectly, then It'll be game over. Jack isn't stupid so he'll eventually check the cards everytime to see if something changed. That's why I have to be precise on the details of the cards if I'm going to make a duplicate..
"How should I deliver it to her I wonder..", I said to myself as I got up and look at the window of my room and did a sightseeing from above.
My room is at the 32nd floor so I'll be able to see the city from above, and if anything happens to the other me then I'll look from this window to search what she last saw and pinpoint it before going to the location.
I closed my eyes and tried to see what the other me is doing, and it seems like she's currently at the crime scene..
I can't just show up right now and deliver her the message, I guess I'll wait for a week or 2 before delivering it to her.
And while I'm waiting for that as well, I'll think about how to actually capture him..
It'll be really great if Mr. Jhon is included in my situation... No.... Actually...
I can make that happen.
Since Jhon has been spying me for a while before actually entering the department, that means that he cares about me. I hate using other peoples emotions but this is just for one time..
And I'm certain that by the time my other self slowly loses composure and sanity, Jhon will be able to notice it. And there's no way in hell that he won't investigate about me when that happens..
So I'll just have to wait for that to happen, and find the perfect timing for me and Jhon to talk and ask him about something..
And that something.. Is to gather the bodies of all the Amelia's in one place and place the cards next to their bodies after taking them from Jack. In order for them to be actually safe, that event has to happen in a place where only Jhon and the Chief knows while the outside of that place is guarded with soldiers, to ensure their safety.
Of course I'll be needing some soldiers on standby close to the place on where I'll beat Jack up, because if he pulls something that I don't expect then I'll call them for backup.
I finally pieced it together.. All that is left is to execute everything on the exact time as I planned.. If everything goes smoothly then there will be a happy ending.
And if the plan does go successfully, then I'll be able to beat Jack up without hesitating. And I'm sure it'll feel good.
