Trapper Jake 소설 & 이야기

He helped me shower carefully, keeping my cast dry with plastic wrap and tape, his touch clinical and respectful, never lingering or crossing any line. He fed me stories about his life since college, how he had become a private investigator himself, how he had been watching Ryder for years, gathering evidence, waiting for the right moment to pull me out of the nightmare I had been living for far too long. “He’s been planning this for a long time,” Jake said as he changed the dressing on my scrapes, his voice calm but edged with quiet anger.

Is he the owner of a gas station? [Please, can I have it for free? I'm literally freezing to death.] Jake: [No.] [Cruel! You're gonna get what's coming to you!] [Shut up! I'll buy it! I'LL BUY IT! DM me, please!] ... In less than ten minutes, Jake traded 10 units of fuel for exactly what he needed. Food—water, bread, and more. But the real prize: one of the trades got him a Hatchet-Gun—a combination axe and shotgun. There were only three shells left, but still.

But while Avery watched his every step, making it nearly impossible for him to move freely, Jake’s mind was actively hunting. He refused to remain the prey in her psychological trap. Every minute he could steal away under the guise of basic campus routines was dedicated to a single, obsessive objective: finding the identity of that elusive "him" she had accidentally betrayed in the lecture hall. He needed a name. He needed a face. He needed the specific leverage that would force the proud, defiant female down onto her knees to beg for his mercy. Operating with absolute, agonizing discretion to ensure Avery wouldn't catch his scent or suspect a thing, Jake initiated a thorough investigation i

The room quickly fills as the other men arrive to find out what the commotion is. “What the hell is going on?” Con’s voice enquires as he storms in to examine the scene. “I don’t know, Con. One minute we were hunting in the forest, then the next, he was screaming in agony. By the time we got to him, he couldn’t walk,” Hunter pants. Just then, Jarek appears at the bottom of the stairs and runs for the sofa. I watch in stunned silence as Henrick writhes around in pain, his face scrunching as labored gasps leave his wheezing chest.

However, he immediately crumpled his own face roughly. "Ughh. I still can't forget him, even though five years have passed. It feels like it can't be him. I've often misrecognized people. Damn it, all because Marko asked me to drink tonight." Leon grumbled to himself when he saw the figure of a woman riding on a battered moped. "Sorry, Nis. I can only take you on a crappy motorbike like this," said Adam during their journey. "It's okay, Adam. If you don't give me a deposit tonight, I'll spend more money to pay for a taxi," chuckled Nisa. Adam just smiled at his chatter. Adam's battered moped stopped at one of the Barbeque Chicken tent stalls.

At least here, they had means to eat, to stay warm, had light, and each other, even if it was rough and rocky at times. Jake sighed and ran his hands over his face as he leaned his head back. He still had more questions for her, and wanted to know a lot more, but he wasn’t sure how forthcoming she’d be with her answers right now. Not that he could blame her; it wasn’t like he was opening up a lot about his own problems. And hell, he didn’t even tell his best friend much of anything, although Jay did ask if he had any intention of bringing his girlfriend up for the weekend and his short and sweet response was a big hell no. Jake was sure that Jay was able to figure out that something was goin

The guy called Lloyd asks. "What are you playing at?" I ask when the first one doesn't respond. The weirdness has at least chased my nerves away. "Fucking hell, I would have put money on it being you pretending to be him rather than actually Jake." The first guy laughs again, looking at his brother while pointing at me and I don't understand the joke. "Jake gave this girl his hoody." "No he didn't." The guy called Lloyd whips his head at me, spotting the bag in my hand and then they're both laughing. "How did you get him to do that? He doesn't like people. How did you get him to even speak to you?"

"You must appear in public together from now on." Mike gritted his teeth in anger as he reasoned. "Father, I'm not going to marry a criminal! It's such a shame if everyone knows that my wife was a killer! A murderer!" Mr. Wilson sighed deeply and explained, "...too late to back out, Mike. We've been caught in their trap! All we could do was to carry on with the plans or we might lose everything. Marie's family has given everything to salvage the company and we owe them a lot now."

“I only saw a trunk. It’s locked, I do not know what was inside. Do you have a key?” “No, sir. I suppose we should get-” He silenced Jake with a wave of his hand, then produced a hammer from under the desk. “No need for that. I have a hammer we can use. Follow me.” Jake had some reservations about following a man that he didn’t know into a dark back lot, especially when said man was carrying a hammer. But there really was no choice. As they followed him through the rows of units, he introduced himself as Baxter, and explained that Dan and he had become friends over the years.

Kat piped up and said, “Hey Jacob, do you know what I think? I think that it takes a real lowlife piece of trash to turn their back on their own family, wouldn’t you agree?” “Yep. A total traitor,” Jacob agreed, nodding to Kat. Kat and her cohorts started laughing, and I started to seethe at their behaviour. I clenched my fists at my sides and breathed through my mouth, trying to hold back from punching the daylights out of them. But after a while of listening to them carry on like morons, I finally reached a point where I couldn’t refrain from reacting to them any longer. “Shut the fuck up!” I spat through clenched teeth. This was new to them. Me standing up to them like this had never happ
