The Woman in the Letter

PART 48

NATALIE

I carefully slid the small case I had wrapped around Katherine's jacket into the car. Then removed the jacket, and left the cash inside the car. I thought of only one thing along the way. No matter, if only Ian himself approached and looked in the back of the car, he would see the cash there and put all my suffering on the floor.

The only password I checked to open the cash register was one to six and one to nine. It is impossible to even guess the phone passwords of the people closest to me. But now, I had to find the password to the cashbox of a woman I didn't even know. I brought my father's repair tools from the balcony to my room. No matter how much force I used after closing the door of my room, it didn't help. I could not open the cash. I wondered who I could ask for help. I picked up the phone and called Henry.

"Don't ask too many questions. I just ask you to answer my question. Is there any way to open the cash register?"

About 10-20 minutes after he said he would let me know, he called me and said that there was someone who can open such a cashbox. He did not give me the address when I asked Henry

"It's not the place you can go alone. It would be better if we both go" I didn't understand what he meant.

I parked my car in the yard of the first Henry's house. Then I hid in the back seat of my brother's car to mislead the police. We did not talk much with Henry on the road. He didn't want to come at me because he saw my thoughts and excitement.

"Are you going to tell me who belong this to?" he finally found a logical question to break his silence.

I did not answer. Because I didn't know what to say to him.

"Give me some time, Henry. Please"

"I'm worried about you, Natalie. You don't even go to work. We don't know where you are all day "

"There is nothing to worry about"

"Paul walks in a vicious circle. Maybe he's watching you. But you act on your own "

"I'm not doing anything," my voice said involuntarily. "Don't worry. There is police control in front of our house "

'Yes. The control you just misled"

Looking at the houses on the side of the road, I could not hear Henry's sarcasm.

"I do not think it will stop him. I keep in touch with the police every day. I'm trying to find out where Paul might be, but I don't have anything."

"Maybe the best thing was to throw me in front of him like bait. "

"Do you hear what you are saying?" Henry's voice prevailed over me.

I did not answer because I understood him. Because if he said the same thing to me, I would react the same way. Maybe even worse.

We turned from the streets and entered one of the neighborhoods. Behind the high walls, we passed houses with visible roofs, and we entered a neat row of houses with huts with broken doors.

Henry murmured, "It seems that he should be here. It shows on the map,". He parked the car in front of the house with the rusty door. "You stay in the car, give me the cash," he said.

"No," I looked at him excitedly like a child. "I can't do this" I shook my head from right to left "I have to see"

A small, thin, old man with a white beard said, "come to the back" as soon as we entered and pointed to a small hut behind the house. I saw the woman Looking at us from the window of the house. When she saw us face to face, she quickly closed the curtain and went inside.

When I followed the old man, I covered my nose with my fist so that due to the mixture of sweat and alcohol more. As soon as he entered the hut, Henry placed the cash on the table.

When the man looked at the cash register and laughed, the black spots on his teeth made him even crueler. "Eh. That's what you call the cash register?" he laughed again.

Henry took money out of his pocket and gave it to him.

As soon as the man looked at the money, he said "No" and returned the money. Henry said, "The rest of the money After opening the cash."

He put the black box next to the cash register, took out the items I didn't even know the name of and began to squirm. "It's not a quality box. Not even real steel." Then he looked at us. "Is there anything inside that can burn?"

Henry turned and looked at me and waited for me to answer the question.

When the man saw that there was no answer from us, he said, "Look at me. This box is yours, isn't it? '

I answered without thinking, 'Yes.' I tried to hide my trembling voice.

Henry looked at me with a moment of confusion. Then he quickly regained his composure, shook his head, and confirmed what I had said. "Of course," he said, clearing his throat. "But how can we know exactly what's inside?" If we knew, maybe we wouldn't bring it here"

Then he took out a large device and connected the cable. As soon as he touched the cash register, sparks spread around. Henry grabbed my arm and slowly pulled me back, saying, "Don't look at the sparks, it's bad for your eyes." Leaving the device behind, he took large iron pliers and placed them where he had cut them, splitting the case in half. He took the mask off his head and threw it aside. "Ready"

I quickly went in front of the cash. My hands trembled when I saw a piece of paper wrapped in a transparent file.

Not a letter again. No letter. No letter

I took the file and flattened a large piece of paper with my hands. The first thing that caught my eye was a large table and articles full of medical terms. I read and tried to understand something, but I did not understand anything. Then, when I went down to the paper, I understood what the analysis was about. When I learned what the biggest secret Katherine hid from everyone was, I realized that in fact, Paul is more dangerous than I thought.

The paper showed the results of DNA analysis. It was noted that the blood sample taken from Paul Abrams coincided with the blood sample taken from Katherine's child. It was written that Paul is the father of the Katherine's child.
