Me And The Mysterious Man's
Chapter 57 - The Gripping Story

Becca, who heard the scary mutterings from her sister, immediately threw a punch. James' face suddenly grimaced when he did not expect to get a splash in the head.

"ouch! what's wrong with you?!" james is upset.

"I just don't like the origin of your words!" becca's clear brief. Then turn the eyeballs off.

"No one will die, which is important all food stocks are enough. If not, maybe Jack will kill us all" Anna said as she glanced at Jack. Then take the cookies that are in the jar. A choco chip was inserted into his mouth.

Becca couldn't help but laugh. "You're right Anna, Jack is a psychopath!"

"I've seen-Aaaww!! Jack!" Anna could not continue as one of Jack's hands reached out to her ear.

"You're like brothers. Just like us," Jonas commented as he took the choco chip from the jar.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. There was only the sound of wind and snow coming from outside the house. Ice had filled the streets, and managed to freeze all the puddles.

"I remember the winter I spent in New York" Becca said. Making all pairs of eyes now on him.

"What's wrong? you never told me." Jonas demanded an explanation.

Becca pressed her blanket onto her body. Then look at the faces on his left and right. Everyone's expression looked so serious.

"Listen..." Becca breathed before telling her story. "It happened on Christmas. You remind Jonas I didn't come home?" His index finger was pointing at his sister. Jonas answered with a nod of his head.

"I was alone in the dorm. All my friends are gone. Some go to go home, party and date on Christmas eve, whereas-"

"Wait, wait..." Jack interrupts Becca's story. "Why did you choose to live in a dorm? didn't your friend invite you to party?" his question, which immediately made Becca's face turn into a frown.

"Becca, don't have many friends Jack. Especially since her hobby caused a lot of trouble!" Jonas answers a question he shouldn't have answered.

"No! that's not true Jack. I just..." Becca suddenly fell silent. His eyes turned upwards, as if he was trying to remember something. "I just want to focus on learning. That's how it is." continued with a tone that increasingly swallowed up to the end of the sentence. It shows that he did not have any friends while he was in college.

"OK, okay. Now can we get to the point? I'm so curious!" said Anna. He glared at Jack.

Becca finally continues her story. "I was in the room at the time. Fun playing laptop, but suddenly the power goes out. Exactly as now. But strangely enough, only in my dorm building did I experience it. I called the guard immediately, and they said they'd do an inspection soon. As a result of feeling dark, I opened the window curtain and that's when I saw the reflection of someone on the glass."

"What?!" jonas asked, leaning his head towards Becca.

"Isn't that you?" guess Jack is sure. He crossed both hands in a blanket.

Becca, who overheard, stared back at Jack and replied, "Of course not. I mean, I saw a figure other than myself in the mirror!"

"What's that?!" ask Anna urgently. Curiosity makes him guess. Becca's horror story began to cause her heart to beat.

"The figure looks like a black shadow that wears a coat, and is taller than me. I sure saw it clearly!" becca, then shove her shoulder.

"No. When frightened, I'm not the kind of person who's curious to check. You know that, right?" becca's light continued with her breath.

"I know, because when you're scared of me, you keep closing your bedroom window curtains!" jack looked at Becca with the corner of his eye.

Becca's eyes were wide. He felt caught red-handed. Confusion should give the right reasons. So prefer to ignore the comments from Jack.

"Maybe it's just a coat hanging behind the door." Anna tries to think positively about Becca's horror experience.

"I don't know, which is clear after seeing it I immediately threw the body into the mattress and put the headset into the ear. And then, I fell asleep."

Everyone is silent back. Now the sound of the wind whirled with a little snoring from Ben. While Jack looks relaxed fiddling with his phone that is almost out of battery.

Beeping...

After a few seconds Jack's phone was completely dead. He slowly put his phone to the table. Then look at the faces of everyone around him. They look tense and serious.

Jack rang and said, "I've got a creepier story than that." The expression instantly made him the center of attention.

"Actually this happened, when I had just moved into this neighborhood," Jack continued with a reassuring facial expression and filled with an aura of seriousness. Until the aura can be transmitted to everyone who listens to his story.

"What's? in here?" Anna is getting tense. His eyes didn't even blink in a few seconds.

Jack nodded. "That night, when I was about to go to my room. I used to check the surveillance cameras before I went to bed. I tried to see some points of the room. And when I checked the camera in front of the house, I found..." Jack did not mention the end. Shaking my head as if I could not believe it.

Jack slowly told everyone to come closer and gather around him. Then he said in a soft tone, "I saw a man carrying a gun..."

"Really? did you see his face?" asked Jonas who slowly felt the atmosphere became increasingly gripping.

"Yes." Yeah." Jack rounded his eyes and looked at the expressions of the three people surrounding him. "He is... David's." David." Jack smiled broadly.

Anna who felt irritated immediately got up and stood up. Then step foot onto the sofa. Followed by Jonas who is never absent to follow the girl anywhere. Both of them showed a sullen look on their faces and both threw themselves onto the sofa. They were obviously upset by Jack's story.

It's obvious David always carries a gun everywhere. Because the middle-aged man was used to wearing a sheriff's uniform. Naturally, a gun would not forget to be clad in his belt.

Now only Becca is still faithfully sitting next to Jack. He was not at all angry with Jack's story. It was also likely that the girl was still not satisfied with the warmth that the fireplace emitted. His gaze continued towards the flames in front of him.

Jack and Becca kept each other quiet for a long time. Both are struggling with their own minds. Everyone was asleep except for the two of them.

"You can also joke. Even though it wasn't funny." Becca suddenly made a sound. Cause Jack's head reflexes to turn towards him.

"Actually, I haven't done it in a long time. That's why the effect is not even funny" Jack responded. Carving out a smile that rubs off on Becca.

"Is everything because of me?" goda Becca raised both eyebrows.
