Jack hastily picked up the puppy and ran off. The mother dog noticed it right away and started to chase him.
His secretary was surprised at this. What had gotten into Jack and why was he acting like this? Stealing a puppy? What was he thinking?
Finally after half an hour, Jack was able to get rid of the mother dog. He and his secretary had kidnapped a puppy successfully with a few bites and scratches here and there.
"Mr. Jack, you need to go to the hospital for your rabies vaccine," the secretary said, concerned. They were already inside the car with the puppy but Jack was seemingly more concerned with the puppy than with his wounded arm.
"I will," Jack said as he handed the dog to him, "Take him to the vet and get him washed up and checked and all of that. Make sure he's healthy."
He wanted Beryl to have a healthy and flea-free pet dog.
The secretary took the dog and nodded and then as it struck him, he asked, "Mr. Jack, what about the samoyed at my place?"
"Oh…you can have him." Jack replied.
"... Um, okay, thank you sir," the secretary replied, confused.
Jack leaned back on his seat feeling slightly relieved. He had accomplished his mission. He started picturing Beryl with the puppy - playing with him and hugging him. For the first time, he felt what it was like to be a father and it was the sweetest feeling in the world.
'Beryl is my daughter!
She's going to accept me eventually! I'm sure of it!' Jack said to himself.
After Jack went to the hospital, he went back to his office. He acted as nonchalantly as he could while he kept an eye on Jacob.
Jacob was surprisingly calm. He seemed to believe him and he was acting like nothing had happened.
But Jack had an inkling that this just wasn't the whole story. It can't be this easy. Sooner or later, Jacob was bound to find out everything. In fact, he was most probably be doing something right now to find out the truth.
Jack was changing a lot too - he was no longer the old Jack who had no power. He'd grown enough that he was able to face Jacob head on. Jacob was no longer a threat to him but he was still worried that Emily might still have feelings for Jacob and that would be his biggest problem.
There were so many tangles and obstacles from their past. Jack also knew that he himself was also the reason why Emily left in the first place. And if things started to unravel, Emily might decide to return to Jacob which was the last thing Jack ever wanted to see.
Now, Emily was claiming to be Cloris a
.." Jack stopped himself, 'What an idiot! Why on earth would I tell that to her?' he scolded himself.
Beryl's eyes widened: "How could you! Now the mother dog doesn't have her child! I don't want him now. I want him to be with his mother dog!"
Jack didn't know what to do. Everything he did seemed to be stupid and useless.
"But I thought you like the puppy…" He tried to convince her.
"What's happening? Beryl?" A voice came from the inside - a voice that Jack recognized to be Emily's. The look on his face changed, "Oh, your mommy's home! That's good! Ha ha ha!" he said, chuckling in an attempt to ease his nerves.
'What's Emily doing home? Isn't she supposed to be in the office?'
Jack tried to go and hide again but it was too late because Emily had just walked out and she'd already seen him. She was surprised to see Jack there with Beryl and with Beryl holding a big box with a puppy in it. Emily frowned and asked, "Jack? Why are you here? How did you get in here?"
'How did I get in here? Through the front door, of course. I can even get a key to your bedroom if I wanted, '
Of course, this was just Jack talking to himself. He didn't say any of those out loud. "I just... I saw your door was open... and I was passing by... and oh, I was going to give my gift for Beryl. It's this puppy, see? It's so adorable. I've already had him checked at the vet. He's clean and healthy. Beryl said you would never allow her to keep it but see, she loves it so much! So maybe you should let her..."
Jack had rambled on as he was trying to make a good impression on Beryl when she interrupted him, "Mommy! He stole this puppy from his mother dog! He's a bad guy!"
