I stood before the wooden door with a bit of nervousness. Elizabeth had told me that Sally was safe but I just had to be sure, Patrick died to make sure she was safe and I don't want it to be in vain. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
A moment later, a man with light brown hair, green eyes, a sweater, and dress pants opened the door. "Yes? Can I help you?" he asked.
"Jack right? My name's (Y/N). I'm umm... a friend of Sally." I said, making the man's eyes widen at my explanation. I saw his hand each for something behind his back.
"How do..." he started.
I raised a hand, "We both served under a certain manipulating asshole." I said, he had a cautious air around him like I did, but after a moment it seemed to vanish.
"So how do you know Sally exactly?" he asked, curious to know how I became aware of her existence.
"My dad took care of her before... yeah." I said, remembering the yellow eyes she had. Jack gave me a sympathetic look, if anyone knew what I was talking about it was him.
He turned into the house, "Sally? Could you come here a second?" he called into the house. We heard the sound of running feet going down stairs.
Sally in her white dress a stood behind Jack, blocking me from her sight, "What is it uncle Jack?" she asked. Jack stepped out of the way and showed me standing in the doorway.
She looked at me for a moment before her face turned into one with realization. She stood still for a moment before running and hugging my legs, "I-it's you..." she said shakily.
I kneeled down and hugged her, "Hey Sally." I greeted warmly. I pulled away to see her smiling face and blue eyes brimming with tears. "Wanna see what I brought you?" I asked. she tentatively shook her head.
I pulled out the doll head from my pocket, "Sarah!" she squealed. She grasped the doll head and coddled it, completely forgetting me. I smiled nonetheless .
Jack gave her a firm look, "What do you say Sally?" he asked.
She looked back at me and hugged me again, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said repetitively before retreating back inside. Ah, children, they only love ya when you give them toys.
Jack gave me a apologetic look, "Sorry, the girls are still learning manners. But they're improving." he said as I stood up.
I shrugged, "No problem... thank you. For taking care of her I mean." I said.
Jack nodded, "No problem... so how do you know me?" he asked. I laughed, I would explain it to him but I'm in a schedule.
"Next time I see ya I'll tell ya." I said as I retreated down the steps.
"When will that be?" Jack asked. In all honesty it could be never, but you never know.
"Don't know. See you around Jack." I called out as I headed down the street.
...
Turing into a alleyway, I looked down at my watch, in 3, 2, 1. A tear on the side of a building opened, Elizabeth on the other side in her tower dress as I called it. I quickly jumped through after making sure no one was watching.
I landed in my apartment on the other side, "So? You make your delivery?" Elizabeth chided. She told me fir the past two days that I had nothing to worry about with Jack but I wanted to be sure.
"Yes I did. And you where right. I'm worrying about nothing." I said, making her smile in triumph. I walked over to the couch and laid down, I was still partially recovering from my time with Atlas, so I wasn't doing anything strenuous.
