The Slingshot master

Part 4

Although I couldn't see the clear vision of who was rushing toward us,I could tell it was a small figure with something in hand pointing at me ....or maybe tom. When he came closer I realized it was jack with his slingshot. He pointed for tom specifically and said shakingly,"iiiiif yyo cccome ccclose ,iii wwwilll shshshoot!" Tom surprisingly took a step back but still continued with the teasing," I didn't know  that servants are also used as guards!" Jack shouted," stop it tom or you are done!" Tom again teased sarcastically,but this time it was for both of us " Why would such a STRONG man like James ever need a skeleton for his protection!?" Jack was about to SHOUT  more when the bell rang. As I know him ,he would think a hundred times before shooting using his buckets of patience for bearing the idiotic comments from tom and his friends. Tom and his friends stared at me and jack furiously until tom said,"This isn't over! You both will face revenge one day." With this all of them walked away to their classes. When I came home,I saw jack folding my clothes. I ran to him and thanked him for his bravery . He said," you are my brother . How could I let those jerks tease you?" I hugged him once again before he left for his afternoon chores . As the day advanced, I did my homework ,watched tv and took a nap. I was dying to go play with Jack but I wasn't allowed to leave the house until 5:00 so after that we play and play and have lots of fun everyday. When I woke up at 4:30 pm , I waited and waited for what seemed like days ,until I finally  had the permission to go out. I looked at the clock for the 57th time when it was exactly 5:00 pm. I ran outside and knocked on my father's door but there was no answer and no movement in there. I wasn't allowed to go in so I thought that probably he had gone  somewhere and I could take Charles permission to go out. Normally I wouldn't have done that but as dad said," Always remember James, when I am not there, Charles is your second father."I don't know why dad trusted a servant soo much. Anyways,I went for  jack and Charles room but before opening the door ,I heard a familiar voice in there. He was talking really softly as if he loved the listener more than anything. That's when I realized who he was and why was he talking so softly!
