My Second Life Is A Heroic Power Fantasy 113 Meeting Of The Minds Part 3

"Well, I have to say, that explanation was definitely not the one I was expecting." He said, after a moment's pause. He looked at Jack. "And how am I, or are we, supposed to believe any of that is true?"

Jack shrugged. "I don't know what to tell you, other than I wish I had something more believable to tell you. I know what I've just described sounds crazy. Trust me when I say no one in this room is more painfully aware of how nuts my situation is than me." He said.

"And for what it's worth, I can vouch for the fact that was Jack is telling you is the truth, as hard as it may be to believe. And were Madeleine here, or our missing sister Eleanor, they would tell you the same. What reason would he, or we, have to lie about something like this?" Rose said, her face earnest.

"And with all due respect, Rose, we want to believe you. It's just.... so very difficult to accept." Abigail said.

"I have a question." Farien said, chiming in for the first time. "How is it that we manage to go undiscovered by the local gnoll tribe for months, and then as soon as you enter our camp, we get ambushed and lose most of our people? How on earth does something so convenient just happen to occur as soon as you settle down for the night away from the rest of the Company?"

There was a look in Farien's eyes that gave Jack the sense that he'd better choose his next words very carefully.

Jack sighed.

"I honestly don't know, Farien. The only possibilities I can think of that make sense is that either they somehow managed to track me and the girls, and then tailed us to the camp with the rest of you, or it's just the worst coincidence of all time, because I have no other explanation."

Farien leaned forward, his eyes flaring.

"So you expect me to think that suddenly they can track us when they haven't been able to do so before, or that they just happened to stumble on the camp with a war party within hours of you arriving? That seems a little hard to believe, don't you think?" He said.

Jack found himself getting angry. They did not have time for this s.h.i.+t. Eleanor was still hostage, the attack had been repelled, and he himself was the one to turn the tide of the battle, according to Urien.

"Well here's your alternative, a.s.shole. I coordinated an attack with the same monsters that kidnapped one of my friends and tried to **** Madeleine. For what? What could I possibly want from you? And why the f.u.c.k would I suddenly start killing a bunch of them after they started the attack? Including that one with the enchanted sword that almost killed me with a dagger through the leg, might I add."

Rose placed her hand on his shoulder, and went to speak, but he continued over top of her, his voice rising in volume as he spoke.

"My f.u.c.king friend is out there being held prisoner by those fleridden dogs and probably being raped and tortured as we speak, and instead of helping me get her back, you're accusing ME of leading the gnolls to your camp? Well, here's another one for you- what the f.u.c.k do you think you could do to stop me from doing it again, if you're so certain I did it? Huh?"

By the time Jack finished, he realized he was shouting. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before lowering his voice.

"I don't know how they found your camp, and I don't care. All I want is to get my friend back. And you can believe that or not, and believe I am who I say I am, or not. I'm not interested in wasting any more time trying to convince you otherwise."
