Ero Meter



Both Jack and Sophie moved toward the car, and surprise was visible on their faces.

At first, both of them were confused, however soon enough reality dawned on them.

Someone has vandalized their car.

All of the tires were flat and there was a big 'Fuck You' spray painted on the red bonnet.

"What should we do?" Sophie looked at Jack with worry-filled eyes.

She has just been on a beautiful date with Jack, the person she loved the most, and she was expecting a good night ahead, however, now seeing the car vandalized all she could think about was who did it and why.

She knew that Jack wasn't the person that would get involved with troublesome people, he was always calm and did everything with patience, so why would someone do it?

She also considered the fact that it might have been done by some random hooligans, however, this place was a high-profile restaurant, and it was rare for troublemakers to come here.

And on top of that, many cars were standing in the parking and they have parked in the middle, so why would someone random would bother coming in the middle and vandalize the car?

Jack took in a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He knew that this was not the time to panic, he could tell that Sophie was already panicking, and if he lost his cool then it would only increase the trouble rather than solving it.

By only being calm and thinking about the situation could he handle it best.

He then placed his hand on Sophie's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I will handle this. Let me call an Uber for you. We will meet up tomorrow." He said.

He didn't want to trouble Sophie as she also has to take care of her mother and with her house situation, she already has too much on her plate and he didn't wanna add to her troubles.

He thought that it would be better for both of them if he handled the situation alone.

"What do you mean? Let me help you too." She said as tears formed in her eyes. She was in love with Jack and cared for him deeply.

She didn't wanna leave him alone in this situation, she wanted to help as much as she can.

Jack has helped her a lot and has changed her life, if not for him then she was sure that she would have been working some minimum-wage Job and it would have been very hard for her to arrange money for her mother's treatment.

"We will meet tomorrow," Jack said again and took out his phone to call Uber for Sophie.

"No, I won't go." She insisted.

Jack looked her in the eyes and kissed her on the lips.

"I can't put you in danger." He didn't know who did it, however, he had some inkling as to who could have done it.

And he didn't want to put Sophie in danger.

He looked around the parking lot and couldn't find anything suspicious, his eyes then landed on the cameras on the Sushi place and he nodded internally.

"No, I won't." She said again.

"Go, or Meadow might be worried, this thing would take some time."

He knew that this situation would take longer than the time they have and if Sophie is late to get to her home then Meadow might be worried.

Sophie wanted to deny it again, however seeing a serious expression on his face she gulped her saliva and stayed silent.

"Ok." She nodded, silently and clenched her fist.

After that Jack called the Pollice.

Sophie's Uber was the first one that arrived.

"Stay safe." She said with her eyes glistening and a worried expression on her face, she didn't want Jack to get hurt.

She didn't know who did that to his car or what was their motive, however seeing Jack's calm expression her worries lessened a bit.

She was grateful to him that he was also worried for her, however, she wanted to stay with him.

Jack nodded at her, he could tell that she wanted to stay and help, however, he can't risk the situation, he was confident that he could handle a situation alone, however, if someone was with him, then they could become a liability.

He also had his suspicion about who could have done it, however, he didn't have any proof of it.

He first wanted to report the situation to the police. And wanted to find the culprit with help of them.

Reporting to the police would be the best option as there were cameras installed all around the place and this might help catch the culprit.

After Sophie was gone, Jack stood alone looking at his Car.

All of the four tires were stabbed with a knife and on the bonnet, it was spraypainted and vandalized.

Anyone that has done this must have a deep hatred towards him and Jack only knows one person like that.

"It could be Samson, we fought last time at the shop because of Nicole."

Jack remembered the shop incident that happen last time when Mandy went to the police and Jack came there coincidently.

At that time Jack resolved the matter between Nicole and Mandy and then went towards the shop with Nicole.

Samson spotted them and then caused a huge scene, if it wasn't for Jack being there then he might have hit Nicole with that big fluid can.

This was his first car and one that he has formed a connection with, he brought the Car with the money he got from the Ero Meter.

Although the money came easily and he has a lot of it, it still wasn't something that Jack would take lightly.

He was aware of the value of money and he was still not too sure of the future, although he has Ero Meter and has started to spend more lavishly, it doesn't mean that he would let someone get away with hurting his car.

He has to consider everything, the fact that his meter could be taken away from him as easily as he got it, that was the reason why he only spend money in limit or to help his girls.

Soon enough two black cars came in the parking spot.

Those were the police cars.
