Jessie the Conundrum

Melanie jumped at the gunshot report. Her coffee went all over her pants and into her shoes, but she barely noticed the burns. She ran towards the noise and realized in horror that it had come from Jessie's room. There was a single wisp of smoke from gunpowder floating in the hall outside his bedroom.

She pushed his door open and was stunned at what she saw. Jessie was glowing with a faint light, like a halo. He was standing on his bed. There was a man face down on the floor, dead. But there wasn't any blood. Jessie was staring at the man with an intensity Melanie had never witnessed before. All at once the man burst into a flash of brilliant light and when the light diminished, his body vanished.

Melanie looked to Jessie again. His glow faded as he slumped back into the bed.

Despite all the crazy shit she'd seen over the past year, she was momentarily speechless. Finally she stammered, "What the fuck just happened? Did you do that?"

Jessie seemed to be mulling over what he should say. Eventually he said, "He came in with a gun and shot at me. I had no choice."

Melanie ran to him and started to roughly inspect his body for bullet wounds.

"Where did he hit you?"

Jessie pointed at his own face but there were no marks, let alone a fatal gaping bullet wound.

She said, "I don't understand."

"I can't tell you everything Melanie but just know that I'm more than just a weird little boy and it'll take more than a silly little gun to kill me."

She shook her head, trying to make sense of what he was saying.

He continued, "Promise me you won't breath a word of this to Luke."

"What's to say? He wouldn't believe me anyway."

"He would. He knows something's coming. If you told him, he'd worry."

Melanie had a sort of epiphany. Well, it had been a lingering suspicion but she'd managed to squash it whenever it had come to her in the past. She asked, "Is Luke Jack or is he Lucifer?"

"I think you know."

That was all she needed to hear. She said, "Alright then, get your shit, we're getting the fuck out of here."

Jessie shook his head sadly. "We can't go. Jack is back and he's coming for us."

"What? My Jack? He's coming for us? If fake Jack is Lucifer that means my Jack is in hell. How did he escape?"

"I can't give you many answers and for that I'm truly sorry. You'll see."

"Ugh. What the hell has my life become?"

He answered, "What it was always meant to be."

She stared at the boy. "Ok then, what the fuck are you?"

He looked down and whispered, "When you find out, I don't think you'll love me anymore."

That softened her and she said, "I'll always love you, no matter what you tell me."

He said, "It won't be long before everything is clear."

She shook her head, had one last look around, and shut the door behind her as she left the room.
