Jason paced up and down the boutique while the manager stood a distance away trying to calm him. "If you don't get that woman in front of me right now, consider you life ruined. I will destroy you, all of you." He warned, his eyes spitting fire.
The manager didn't even know what to do, what kind of luck is this? This is exactly why he hated VIP clients, they never left without some drama. How were they even supposed to look for a faceless and nameless woman?
"Jason!" Paul yelled as he pushed through the staff,cowering by the door. "Where did she go to?"
"If I knew that would I be here?" He snapped.
Paul nodded, "that's definitely true. Do you at least have any leads? She could have left on her own."
"That's what I'm afraid of, who knows what she's thinking right now? She's probably blaming her self for Steve's death, she's capable of anything right now." Jason sighed.
"I don't think she has enough information to do anything, besides Jessie might be impulsive and incredibly determined but she's not stupid." Katherine said.
"But right now she might be emotional, don't you think?" Paul asked Katherine. "Just yesterday you wanted the police to arrest you for Steve's murder."
Jason eyes widened at Paul statement and he looked at Katherine with slight surprise. "Jessie wouldn't go to the cops right?" He asked.
Katherine rolled her eyes, "Of course not."
He sighed nodding "she wouldn't go to the cops, she wouldn't." He mumbled trying to convince himself.
"Hey! What's taking so long?!" He yelled at the manager.
"Uh... t-the thing is... no one saw her leave." He stammered.
Jason's brow rose and he walked over to the man that was shaking visibly. "So you're saying, a woman in a black mask and cap. Probably looking very suspicious suddenly teleported or vanished?" He asked with an eerie calm.
The man blinked looking down, they don't pay him enough for this. He looked back up, and cleared his throat.
"Sir, if you could give us a name? It would make it easier."
Jason frowned, "you don't get to ask me that, you should have kept a closer eye on her. Besides you saw me, Jason Kang come into a store with a woman. I sent everyone one out so she could shop in Peace what does that tell you?"
"She wants her identity private?" the manager asked in an audible whisper.
Jason smirked at the man and leaned down so he was talking into his ear. "No... it means she's very important to me, and If I can't find her in the next ten minutes, your family will find your body, battered and beaten. You'll be lucky if they even recognize you." He said. Standing straighter he looked down into the man's eyes, feeling satisfied with the look of horror that he saw in them. "I hope you understand me."
The manager nodded and scrambled away. In exactly ten minutes an attendant walked up to them alongside the manager.
"What is this?" Jason asked.
She bowed swiftly, avoiding eye contact she kept her head down. "I saw the lady, she asked me for a hair salon."
"She did?" Paul asked, the attendant nodded.
"Let's go, take me there." Jason said immediately.

"Are you sure? What exactly do you mean by cut it all off?" Joong asked.
"The only way I can keep walking around undetected is if I keep wearing wigs, I have no idea how to manage or maintain my hair. It's easier this way." She said.
"My spoilt princess has finally grown up, hasn't she?" Tony smiled. "Do it, she definitely has the looks to pull it off."
"Fine, but I'll give her a buzz cut. I can't shave all the hair, I'm scared of her fans." Joong said and they all laughed.
By the time she was done she looked in the mirror. "So? What do you think?" Joong asked.
Jessie smiled, "Wow. I just cut my hair." She touched it. All her hair surrounded the chair under her, the blonde was gone and a deep shade of chestnut brown decorated the top of her head. It sat in waves on top her head, the sides shorter than the middle.
Tony smiled, "I knew it. You look good with everything."
"Right?" She agreed.
"Honestly I was skeptical at first, but I must say you look breathtaking. No one would notice your big eyes with you other hair styles but I see it now." Joong said.
"Here it's your phone, it's ringing again." Tony said handing her the phone. "I wonder who has been calling you, it's 18 times now."
Jesse's eyes widened, "oh my gosh, Tony. Why did you put my phone on silence!" She yelled, grabbing it from him.
She looked at all the calls, Jason. She wasn't even surprised, she could only imagine what most be going on in his mind.
Quickly dialing the number she called him.
"Jason?"
"Jessie! Damn, where the hell are you?!" He yelled.
"Calm down, I'm sorry. Let's meet at the penthouse, I'll explain everything."
"What? Where are you?" He asked.
She looked at Tony and bit her lip. "I'll explain everything, I'll be late."
"Late to where? Tell me where you are, I'm in front of some salon, if you're in there just come out. Or tell me where you are and I'll come to you."
Her eyes widened. "No! I'm no longer there."
"Then where in tarnations are you?" He asked sounding extremely annoyed.
"I already told you, I'll explain when I get home. Please just trust me, thank you bye!" She said quickly cutting the call.
"Who was that?" Tony asked.
"Jason kang." Jessie said.
Tony's brows went up in question. "Why is Jason Kang calling you? Why are you meeting him? Where is this home?"
"I promise I'll explain, just let's get out of here. I don't trust him not to come in." She said.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked.
"I would love to see the girls." Jessie said.
"I don't think that's a very good idea. You can't reveal yourself to anyone just yet. Especially not three talkactive little girls." Tony replied.
"Fine, where do we go?"
"How about your safe place?"
"The church? But it's in public."
"And you've got a black mask, it'll be like old times." He smiled at her.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
