lula may & jack wilder one shots

- the knife -

TRIGGER WARNING

It was all going according to the plan. They had boarded the jet and was halfway through.

"Start with her."

Then it wasn't.

One of Mabry's men held Lula back as another one took out a gleaming knife and held it to her throat. It looked as if it was sharpened and cleaned for this very moment.

At that exact second, Jack sprung up from his seat but was soon held back by another one of his men, still thrashing around to get to Lula. Jack was furious. How could Mabry think that their lives— Lula's life— was worth that stupid chip.

All because of a vendetta.

Jack could feel the man's nails digging into his shoulder. He felt helpless. He watched as Lula slightly angled her neck away from the knife, its sharp blade just mere centimeters away from slicing her throat & ending her life right then & there. Her beautiful sage green eyes were huge, and she was subtly shaking in fear.

"Danny, give him the card."

"Give him the card, man."

"Just give it to him!"

Danny looked hesitant for a moment— wow, he was good at this whole acting stuff— and flicked out the black card case that held the chip. The man that held Jack down snatched the case from Danny's hand and gave it to Mabry. Only when it got to Mabry's hands did the man finally let go of Lula and put the knife back.

Jack was still fuming on the inside. He couldn't even imagine what would've happened if Danny didn't give up the card. Would they have really slit Lula's throat? Jack shuddered at the horrifying image of Lula bleeding out and Jack just sitting there, helpless.

"What the hell, Danny."

"Oh, to save your little girlfriend?"

"To save my little girlf— He had a knife to her throat!"

"I'm a Horseman, you dick!" Lula said to Danny, her expression stormy. Then she turned to Merritt.

"And you, what's your deal man?!"

"Nothing, I didn't want to get blood all over the leather seats. They're probably going to throw us out of the plane."

If you were to hang out with Merritt long enough, you would be able to see the little changes to his unwilling hypnosis victims when he said the keyword to activating the hypnosis. In this case, Jack could see it. He could see Chase's slight change in his posture, his eyebrows scrunched together just the slightest bit.

Tressler and Mabry had no idea what was coming to them.

So this turned out to be more of a Horsemen chapter instead of a Jack x Lula chapter, but this scene was just so good so I had to do it.
