Caraval Jacks Novels & Stories

I pulled over at the pre-arranged spot and got my backpack from the trunk. The person Rose had arranged was already waiting. "Miss Ivy?" a man in a baseball cap walked over. "I'm Jack." "Yeah." I handed him the car keys. "Stick to the plan." Jack nodded and expertly checked over the car. "Are you sure about this? Once you start, there's no turning back." "I'm sure." He started the car and slowly drove it towards the cliff edge. Then, at the last second, he jumped out, letting the car plunge into the valley.

he muttered. "Good." Calla turned to her men. "Jack, Diego. You know what to do. Jack, you're our ghost. Take the back routes. Get to Damien's house. The black sports car is in the garage. The keys are in the bowl by the front door. Disable any security, avoid all cameras. I don't want a single CCTV to catch a glimpse of you or that car until it's supposed to." Jack nodded silently, his face all sharp angles and focus. He melted away into the shadows of the warehouse.

“Yeah.” Jack’s tone is almost gentle. “In your name?” “Yes.” I feel relief coming down my back. Maybe they’re finally dialing it back. Sanity is winning. Jack reaches into his pocket. Pulls out a small folding knife. The blade snaps open with a dry snick. I watch him, my brain slowing as it tries to understand what’s about to happen. He steps close to the rear of the car, drops to one knee, and drives the knife straight into the back left tire.

That moment is the cause of their journey over the years. “Phoebe captured it but hid that from me. She sent that to me a week ago” said Val kissing his cheek. “I am glad you woke me up that day otherwise I wouldn’t have found that you are my Vanilla” said Jack kissing her neck. “I still have something” said Val pushing him a bit and opened her fists revealing two chains with seashell pendants which had their initials craved on them. “What are these?” asked Jack tracing them with his fingers. “Did you forget your first gift Babe?” said Val pouting making Jack gasp.

It's still kind of far to walk, but it's okay. "Is your home near the cafe?" someone asked, and I found colin walking beside me. "Hi! Three streets away from here. It's kind of far to walk. Where are you going?" I asked him. "I'll walk you home." "CARA!" someone shouted. It was Austin. He was on his motorcycle and went to us, "CARLON CALLED. YOUR DAD WAS FUMING MAD RIGHT NOW! YOU NEED TO HURRY, I'LL TAKE YOU HOME."

After Jack sat down, he started chatting with the three clients like an old friend. "Mr. Carrel from Tenfold Tech, right? I didn't mistake you, did I? I've heard a lot about you. Your team's mobile optimization work is impressive," Jack's tone was unusually pleasant.

I called out before following Jack outside the door. Jack turns to lock the door behind us before leading me back downstairs to the parking lot where his car resides. He unlocks the doors to his all black camaro allowing us both access to the vehicle before turning his keys into the ignition and lighting his car to life. He soon begins to pull out of the parking lot and away from his complex before making his way back to my dorms.

She gritted her teeth and yanked a pink USB drive from her neck. “This…this is the ‘Beast Mode’ key for that car…” she said, trembling. “That arms dealer said, unless it’s the end of the world, never…never use it…” Jack snatched the USB drive and plugged it into the control panel in the driver’s seat.

He handed the box to Jess. It took all of Jess's willpower not to scream. In the plush plum, velvet box sat an oval diamond set in a circle of smaller cut ones. Jess was sure it cost Jack a fortune, not that he would feel it though. She beamed at Jack, to which he replied "Only the best for a Lawson."

He knocked her forehead gently once more. “Don’t knock me silly.” Mira tapped his hand away. Jack went to the shelves where Mira stored things and took the heavy chains, previously made for the hanging frames and walked back to where Mira was, “We will use these to tie the cart to the carriage.” “Mm” Jack placed them on the cart, and Mira pushed it out of space before exiting space with Jack, in their own special way. Moments later, the cart emerged from space and settled behind the carriage.
