Behind the Red Jacket

CHAPTER 5 The Meeting

Next day Cyril hurriedly went to the nearest café at her house after work. Sweet scent of aroma could be smelled when she opened the door. She entered and looked around, then she saw Lucas at the corner. He is sipping a cup of coffee.

Cyril sit comfortably in front of him. Lucas put down his cup of coffee on the table. He looked at Cyril and speak.

"So, what is it? I thought you won't call."

"I know you know something about the man in red jacket", Cyril stated.

"What made you think that I know something?"

"The way you know about my ghost friend and the way you talk made me think that you know something."

"I really do know something and I know too that you are next target of the red jacket."

"What? Why? Who is that man in red jacket?"

"Well, that man in red jacket will kill every people who will lived in your house. I don't know who is he, I don't even seen his face but I know a little story about him."

Cyril seriously looked at Lucas while he started to retell a story.

Flashback

Lucas went to a big library. In the middle of the library, there sat the man who knows everything. Lucas walked towards him and stopped when he's closer to him.

"Are you the man who know everything?" Lucas asked the man.

"Yes, are you here to ask about the man in red jacket? About the person who killed you and your parents?"

"Yes", Lucas answered.

The man coughed and looked at Lucas.

"This man is immortal. He killed for revenge. Once he has a lover who lived on the place your parents build a house. The lover of this man didn't own the place instead it was owned by your parents. Your parents commanded their workers to burn the girl's house. The girl died and became an ash. The man in red jacket became furious and promised to kill whoever live on that place."

"How can I kill that man?"

"A girl with short black hair will soon live in that house. She can help you kill that man. You and her should go to Rathir together and get the knife that can kill that man."

"How can we go to Rathir?"

"Take this ball. Once you throw it the dimension to Rathir will opened."

End of flashback

Lucas took another sip of coffee after he retold the story.

"So, you and your parents got killed by the man in red jacket. How come you're still alive?"

"That's another long story to go."
