LEGACY

CH:3-Return to The City Of Lights

"I have been wrong about you, though I was strong without you..."

When Jason arrived home he found Marie in the living room reading and house completely silent. He knew she hated this seeing coming back as Jason for he knew he had no other choice and go back to Paris and make the things clear and find out who was setting him up and who was this girl that bore his last name?

Marie looked up as he approached and he was sure he saw the fear in those gentle brown eyes once more as she gazed back at him.

This was not David she could feel it for the mystery and deadly silence surrounded Jason once again and she could see the assassin has returned, but one thing in her heart she knew that he might never hurt her for he was here to protect her no matter what. She allowed her eyes to fall at the envelope that he was carrying but dared no to ask for she knew she did not want to see him angry.

"I am going back to Paris," Jason finally announced breaking the tension of the silence between them.

"When?" Marie already knew the answer if she asked him to come too but it was negative." Why?"

"Early tomorrow in the morning, I know you wanted to come with me again and see Paris but this time I can't take you with me for I know it might be dangerous so for the best you better stay here." He knew what the city meant to her no meant to them both for they were there running way when their lives were threatened and now once more he was returning again to clear his name and find the truth.

"I understand." Marie whispered and putting the book away she stood up from the sofa and turned to leave, but Jason stopped her with a gentle grasp upon her arm.

Turning around she gazed back into the eyes of assassin and for a moment she was sure that she was seeing eyes of her husband, David asking her to forgive him in the silence, but that lasted a moment and Jason let go of her arm and headed for the bedroom to pack and get ready for the trip back to Paris.

Marie had not heard him when he had left and who knows how long she will wait for him to return but he will come back she knew he will.

Her eyes drifted toward the photograph of the two of them happy in the Greece that summer when he came back after he was done with the Treadstone and for the time they were happy and tried to move on with their lives and forget about the past but Jason was always there no matter what watching over them both.

Jason was seating in the seat overlooking the ground below from the plane window that was still somehow cold and grey and felt like his heart was breaking in the half each time when he had left Marie behind and this time he seemed to allow his guard to drop down and David to step in and the arguing began:

Why are you doing this? David protested. Do you know how much of the pain you are causing to both Marie and me?

"It was for the best, now be quiet and stop annoying me. When I am finished what I am planning to do you will come back to Marie, no I am in the charge so go back and sleep."

David protested again but Jason blocked him out completely now was the plane touched down the French ground. He was waved through the security that hardly asked the questions but for sure admired his using of the French tongue like he was born one.

Once arrived back to the city he slipped from the Taxi and leaving the good sum of the euros he walked back to his old apartment.

Setting the things down he began to work and forgetting about anything else for he knew what he must to do to find the girl and clear this no sense for all for he had feeling she might not be his daughter and someone else was using her to get him. Someone like the Jackal.

But for now he had to find her for that was the thing he might need it if Jackal was behind all this. If he is then how he allowed her to live way too long? Why did not he kill her or was he using her as the bate so he might get Jason once more for the last time and finish the war between them once for all...
