Journey Home

I get a date with the Ripper

CHAPTER 3

''Did you hear about the new guy that just joined school? Oh and the girls say that he is just soooooo hot that we would just want to eat him up. His majors are engineering design and his minor is biology although I just don't get why that is, it just does not make sense at all. Oh and his name does not either. The girls say that his name is Cobalt, well that's what he calls himself. Though Megan says that he seems like he's hiding something. She's trying to figure out what that is. You know how Megan is so that won't take long. She will find out all his secrets like a snake catches its prey, relentlessly. It won't take long...'', Christie went on but I was lost after hearing the name Cobalt, my heart throbs with pain as it brings back the memories of a time better forgotten.

Cobalt.

That name, the name Cole wanted to call himself if he ever had to go in disguise. Something we had come up with as kids after watching a documentary of this man from the FBI who had been in an undercover operation for fifteen years, and was chosen on account of his cobalt blue eyes.

Then Christie's words came back to me.'' You know how Megan is it won't take that long ''. I knew for a fact that it really would not take that long. She always has this look in her eyes that always said that she knows something that we don't. I was pretty sure she really did. She always looks like she was running from something, like she is hiding something that she probably shouldn't. She just may be running from something and something in my gut tells me that we may just be finding out soon enough.

''Are you listening to me?'', I heard snapped while I was having thought of whether Megan will succeed or not in her endeavour.

''Yes, I am. Don't be ridiculous.'', I answered tentatively, I was not unfamiliar to her random angry outbursts.

''Tell me what I just said'', she demanded.

''You said ....that umm you will...ummm...do th-''.

'' You were so not listening to me. You bitch. Anyways I will deal with that later. First you listen to me. Nobody really knows why Cobalt came, but apparently he came here looking for a girl. I don't know why. Nobody does. They all say that he is really secretive. They say that he never talks to anybody except someone named Dean Masters, don't know who that is, oh and Jax says that he is really mellow but has this hardness about himself that he has never seen before and you know that Jax has seen alot of things.''

I did know that . Jax was from a village in Mexico. His was the only white family there, and he was mistreated at every turn because of this. He was not just an orphan child, he was an orphaned child.

His parents took him with them this time to Mexico on their mission to save the malnourished people and help them as medically as they can. But one day, in the middle of the night some of thugs that roamed the lands of the small village terrorizing people with violence of the worst kind broke into his home and killed his parents in their sleep. All for being of different race and coming and disrupting their hunting grounds where they preyed on the weak to take them into sex rings and human trafficking and what not, absolutely cruel people and the scums of the earth.

They had chosen to ignore Jax as a message and spare his life but not before scaring his face physically and mentally. But Jax was too raged to let it go, he knew what happened, he was only ten years old and he was thirsty for revenge.

In retaliation by the age of eighteen he hunted for those men almost all his life and got involved with people he should not have and this was all before he was even in university.

But then he met Christie and in the end she convinced him to stop this avenging game because now he had a child to think of, so he stopped although it wasn't that easy, there was a lot of ups and downs. I don't know what happened really. I guess maybe I never really will. I came into the picture after they met.
