Jack dropped the cards out of his hands. How, how could her deck be here? With him. He took a shaky breath, lifting up the scattered cards one by one. Fortune Lady Water. Fortune Lady Earth. Fortune Lady Wind. He looked through each card carefully, memorizing each of their abilities. Once he finished reading, he finally became aware of the banging going on behind him.

"What do you want?" He snapped, glaring at the door.

"Sorry Jack, but we just wanted to know if you wanted to head into the city with us." Akiza. He let out a breath. Perhaps getting some fresh air would be good for him. He knew, after all, if Carly were with him, she'd make him go.

"Fine. Give me a minute. Then we'll go." He spoke, walking to the dark wooden nightstand beside his bed. Opening the drawer. He carefully placed her deck inside, pushed all the way back to the far right corner. There, it would remain safe and untouched until he returned to it. Thinking quickly, he slid the broken glasses in the drawer too, right beside her deck.

These two things were all he had left of her, and he'd protect them at all costs. He exited his room and walked with Akiza, sparing her no explanation as to what he was doing. Soon they met up with Yusei and the rest, ready to go out and enjoy themselves.

"Jack! Jack guess what!" Leo shouted as they left the apartment complex. "I beat Akiza in the tournament we had!"

"Hmmph, I believe that as much about as far as Luna could throw you." He replied, earning a laugh from the group. He crossed his arms as they made their way through the busy streets, quietly praying not to run into any press.

"Well, Leo did beat me!" Luna chirped in, making her brother feel better. "He may not be a signer but he's a great duelist." Leo grinned from ear to ear, proclaiming himself to not only be a great duelist, but the best.

As they walked down a street lined with antique shops, Yusei, Akiza, and Jack saw a camera flash.

"Yusei Fudo! Black Rose! Jack Atlas! This way! Can we spare an interview?" A blonde woman with a microphone and 2 camera men ran up behind her, as she approached. Isn't this the woman who Carly knew? Jack asked himself.

"Sorry, but we don't have time for the press right now ma'am." Yusei tried to say, though the woman, Angela as she has quickly introduced herself as, was not allowing them to leave.

"Just a few questions please, rumors are spreading like wildfire about that darkness that covered our beloved city! Do you have any words?" She pressed, holding the microphone in their faces.

"Oh, no sorry. We should be on our way though, it was nice to meet you Angela." Akiza said, turning away.

"Well at least let me schedule an interview with you three! Every reporter in the city has been waiting for an opportunity like this and I am not about to give it up!" Jack thought of Carly, and how badly she'd wanted an interview with him. It would've made her entire career.

"Hate to be rude," Jack said, though his tone implied the exact opposite. "...but I won't be talking to the press anytime soon." He turned and walked away.

"But, Mr. Atlas.." Angela begged, seemingly defeated.

"Sorry Angela.." Yusei said, turning. "Maybe some other time." He ran up to his friends, and Akiza followed closely afterwards.

A few hours later and they parted ways, Jack leaving Mina at the door as he returned to his bedroom. Yet again pulling out Carly's cards, he wondered how she told fortunes with them.

He pulled a card out at random, and read it.

It was a spell card. He'd never seen it in play, but based on what the card's description said he knew it could be very useful in play.

"Why are your cards here? Tch..Carly." He grumbled to himself, laying back and pondering about just what these cards meant now. Was there any way for him to get her back?

If there was, he would figure it out.
