Jack The Drought Novels & Stories

He fired her, threw her out of the building, and threatened to never see her face again. On top of that, Robert showed up the same day and laughed his ass off when he heard what happened. But in the end, he calmed down and helped Jack finish the loads of paperwork that the sudden loss of PA caused. That night, Jack couldn't take it anymore. After he put Eric to sleep, he got the bottle of his favorite whiskey and tried to drown his sadness in it. Long after midnight, he relented. After two months of not talking to her, he relented and dialed her number. It was way past midnight, and judging by the sound of her voice, she was in a deep sleep when his call came through.

I pressed my thighs together and forced myself to climb down the ladder before I did anything stupid again. Jack was already moving around the cabin like the weather didn’t exist. He’d clearly been outside—his flannel was damp across the shoulders, clinging to the hard planes of muscle. His thick beard glistened with droplets, and the scent of fresh pine and wet earth followed him in. He stacked more firewood by the hearth without looking at me at first. “Coffee’s on the stove,” he said, voice low and matter-of-fact. “Drink it black. Sugar’s for soft city girls.”

Hearing that, Felix replied, "Shut up! That is Maddy's secret recipe. How could she give it to you? Let's drink instead." Realizing that Jack was drinking juice, Felix asked, "Are you a woman, Jack? Do you have that 'time of the month' when you can't drink beer, too?" Everyone laughed, making Jack a little awkward. He answered, "Please be more understanding. I have an important meeting later on, so I can't drink beer." Meanwhile, Vanessa told Felix, "Why can't you two be more upfront with one another? You two are friends. Jack has already resigned from his previous job and is managing his own company now.

He'd rescued Robbie's ass enough times not to take him too seriously. “Oh, look, my brother is here,” Jack said blithely. “Noah, Izzy, hide the booze so there's some for everybody else.” “Hi, big bro. Love you too.” Robbie winked at him and then went directly to the bar. Jack sighed and un-paused the game. He had aliens to smash. Owen killed him immediately, putting Jack just behind him in the rankings. Jack reached down and found that his drink was empty. “Noah, Izzy!” Jack called out. “More drinks!”

The two guards whispered quickly in Jack's ear, and he shoved away the woman draped across his lap and studied Andrew with sharp eyes. "So, you're Mr. Andrew Lloyd of Gabo Creek?" Andrew smiled politely. "That's right. I hope I'm not intruding." Jack's fleshy face lit up with excitement. "Not at all. Having you in my humble place is an honor! Mr. Lloyd, you're incredible! Anyone who can fight his way out of Goldridge and crush that piece of shit leader from Hidden Dragon deserves my respect. I'm Jack Moss, also known as Big Jack." The nickname 'Big Jack' caught Andrew off guard, but looking at the man's size, it fit too perfectly.

I nodded and shook his hand again. We headed back out. “Well, I don’t want pussy tonight so I’m going for a drink.” Paul told me, making me laugh. “Sure thing.” I headed back out with Creek and Paul. “What do you drink?” he asked us. “IPA usually. He sniggered. “We don’t have that shit here. We’ve got Jack, Jameson and Jim. You can have it with ice or water if you’re a pussy.” He raised his eyebrow, a silent dare for one of us to ask for water. “I’ll have water with mine.” Paul smirked. Creek looked him up and down, a smirk growing on his face. I watched in amusement as the men seemed to take each other in. “I’ll have Jack with ice.” I ordered, interrupting the staring contest they had going

"Bring on the tequila!" "Sorry, Robbie, I have an early morning," Jack said. "Technically so do you, but since you just have to stand there and look pretty, it shouldn't be too hard." He leaned back in his chair, in no obvious hurry to get anywhere. "What about the amazing bachelor party I have planned?" Robbie asked with mock seriousness. Jack grimaced and Emma laughed. From what I had heard, the New York bachelor party had been a crazy enough party for Jack. He wouldn't say exactly what they did, but he had refused to drink anything besides water and Gatorade for a week.

She didn’t eat anything for the whole day, it’s nine in the evening and Jack is nowhere to be found. They even searched bars and clubs but of no use. Where did he go?

We passed the drink back and forth, ordered another, and then another, talking and laughing. We talked about everything and nothing at the same time. Our conversation drifted easily from topic to topic, from the weather to our childhoods to what we wanted from the future.
