Flashback
**********************
I received a text that was secretive and told me to meet this person at the pub that Gloria and I would go to shoot billiards at. I am leery but go packing.
I  enter the pub. A lady sits by me and orders two on tap and fish n chips. 
YOU PROBABLY WONDERING WHY I ASKED YOU TO COME HERE SAMANTHA.  YES. I ONLY CAME BECAUSE HOW YOU PHRASED YOUR TEXT. 
SAM WHAT I AM GOING TO TELL YOU AND AFTER YOU SLUG ME WE CAN TALK FURTHER.  WHY WOULD I SLUG YOU? SAM ITS ME GLORIA.  LOOK IN MY EYES.  YOU ARE ORIGINALLY ANOTHER PERSON  MDI. 
I slugged Gloria hard. MY HAND SWELLED UP RIGHT AWAY AND THE WAITER BROUGHT ME ICE IN A BAGGY.
WHY JUST WHY? WE ARE HURTING.  SAM if I didn't they would kill you all. I WON'T HAVE ANY OF MY LOVED ONES BE KILLED BECAUSE OF ME. YOU CANNOT TELL NO ONE NOT EVEN JANE FOR HER OWN WELL BEING. I AM BACK IN TOWN BUT NOW WORK OUT AS A COURIER COMPANY THAT I OWN. IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING, SEND ME A MESSAGE THROUGH THE COURIER SERVICE ADDRESSED TO LISA FOX.  YOUR DAUGHTER AND WIFE ARE BROKEN AND OUR IN SERIOUS THERAPY BECAUSE OF YOUR DEATH. I UNDERSTAND BUT DON'T AGREE WITH IT. THANK YOU. IT HURTS ME TOO SEEING THEM HURT TOO.

END OF FLASHBACK

LISA COME AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU WANT TO EAT SO YOU CAN SEAT AND EAT WITH MY FAMILY.   OKAY, THANK YOU. 
WTF SHE HAS MOVED ON AND NOW THIS. I COULDN'T MISS SEEING THEM. IT'S HER 16TH. WHATEVER.
WE BETTER GET BACK BEFORE THEY COME LOOKING.
I  open the box and see its a rolex box but don't open it yet and read the note.

Baby girl whats wrong? MOM ITS FROM MAMA.
I OPEN THE BOX AND SEE ITS A PINK WATCH SOMETHING I USE TO WEAR ALOT.

My aunt Jane gets up along with Juliet and just hugs me and my mom. I start to cry and leave the table but ask Lisa to come with me. 
I know it was a weird request to ask a total stranger to come with me to my bedroom.
I CLOSE MY BEDROOM DOOR AND LOCK IT.
MAMA I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW ITS YOU. YOU HAVE HER EYES,  HER MANNERISMS AND YOU BLEW IT AND DIDN'T CHANGE YOUR SHAMPOO.  BABY GIRL I AM SO SORRY TO DECEIVE YOU ALL. I HAVE TO STAY DEAD FOR YOUR SAFETY OR THEY WILL KILL YOU. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET SOME OF THE PHOTOS FROM THE HIT MAN BEFORE HE TOOK OFF. I HAD A MASK ON SO NO ONE COULD RECOGNIZE ME. YOUR CELL I ADDED THOSE PHOTOS.  THOSE WERE THE ONES I HAD ALWAYS KEPT.  I CAN KICK MYSELF FOR NOT SAVING YOUR GUYS BABY PHOTOS. YOU CANNOT TELL ANYONE. I WONT. MAMA SHE IS FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN. YEAH, I HAVE NOTICED THAT TOO BUT ITS GOOD SHE IS MOVING ON. I SO MISS MY HUGS AND CUDDLES.  ME TOO MAMA. WE BETTER GET BACK IN THERE. IT LOOKS ODD A STRANGER IN YOUR BEDROOM.
OLIVIA YOU OKAY BABY GIRL UNLOCK THIS DOOR NOW.
SORRY MOM. I JUST WANTED TO ASK LISA IF SHE KNEW WHO SENT THE COURIER TO PICK THIS UP. SHE SAID THE REQUEST CAME FROM THE STATES FOR THR COURIER SERVICE TO PICK IT UP. LISA YOU HAVE NO IDEA? NO. SORRY..I WISH I HAD MORE INFORMATION. 
BABY GIRL ITS CAKE TIME OKAY MOM.
