Requiem: Chapter 49
'Jack! What a surprise. Oh, my God, I thought you were dead. I was told you had succumbed to your injuries. Honey, I'm glad... “her voice stopped when he pointed his Glock 22 at her.. “What are you doing now, Jack??“She was surprised that he had gotten to her. She had already pushed the alarm button under her desk three times to call her security personnel. Normally, they could walk down the door at any moment and overpower Jack. But she waited in vain! No one came and it stayed quiet.
Jack saw her pale and smiled. “Senator Angela White... “The White Angel”, admit, not very original. May I invite you, Senator White for a drink, “and he pointed his gun at the bar in her desk. “For me a Chivas... an Original, if you have that, I think I have something to celebrate. If I picked a drink for you, I'd stick to something very strong, you might need it later.’
“I don't understand, Jack, “her eyes were shooting fire and looking for a way out of this impasse, “why that hostility? What did I do to you? I just thought you'd died of your injuries and Dr. Yiu Sing didn't give a sign of life.. I am not well at it to this day. Then you appear in front of me, healthy and sound and I'm formidably happy to see you, glad you're alive and I don't know what or how all this can be done? But you're threatening me here, in my own house with a gun? What the hell do you think I've done to you is all right with you? Do I need to seek medical help?’
Jack laughed. “Call as many saints and helpers as you like. No one will hear you. You have been abandoned by God and your friends. But stay off your cell phone or I'll shoot you right in the hand.. And... the button under your desk, if you want to push again for me, don't leave it, but I think in the meantime you can assume that we won't be interrupted right away! Then gives us some time to talk about the good old days and a few more things that concern us.’
