The Journal

Chapter 13

Nate , Edward and Barbera turned around in shock . What was Aunty doing here ? Was the main question running through their heads .
Aunty laughed menacingly , but her laugh was not woman's laugh but a man's ! She looked at them with her piercing grey eyes .
"Ah , well , well we meet again !" Aunty said .
"Who are you ?" Nate asked as bravely as he could but his voice hitched in fear .
"Nate Samuels aren't you ?" Aunty asked in a high pitched voice .
"How do you know ?" Nate asked .
"Hm do you remember me ?" Aunty asked removing her white haired wig to reveal a dirty blond hair . She removed her make up to reveal a scar running down her face .
"Dr.Anson ?!" Nate asked .
"Yes , my dear boy !" He said
"What are you doing here ?" Nate asked .
"Let's take it from the begining shall we ?" He asked ," Perseus was a stupid man to work with . He found Lady Carrie Darth's diary and decoded most of it but refused to tell me anything about it even if I was his assistant . One day I over heard him saying to the boss that he had decoded the Journal and it lead to Carrie Darth's engagement necklace which was made of Lapiz Lazuli . That night someone broke into my house , I went to see who it was . It was old friend Jessie , she told about her life , I told her mine we hadn't met since college . She then told me her reason for being here .
She had been sent by her boss to retrive the Journal because of Lady Carrie Darth's necklace which was a valueable antique . I was treated like a worthless piece by Perseus . Even being an assistant didn't suffice for him to tell me about it . I immideatly chose the correct path of following her . In return I would get 1/4th of the money they earn when the necklace is exported and sold in other countries .
I was assigned to steal it but he figured it out that I was a spy . He codes the Journal all over again but with a different pattern . I threatened him but he chose his death unfortunately for me he had already handed over the Journal to someone else . Through ups and downs here I am !" Dr.Anson said .
"How do you know my mother ?" Nate asked as he swallowed a lump on his throat .
"Ah ! Gracie ! Pretty woman , would have had her myself if it wasn't for stupidity she wouldn't have been muedered !" Anson shouted .
"Aha ! So you admit she was murdered !" Edward exclaimed .
"Of course dear boy ! I killed her !" Anson revealed .
"You .... you ..... you killed her ! She trusted you !" Nate exclaimed rage and fury dripping in his voice .
"Ah , a beauty she was . She was of great use but her stupidity !" Anson grumbled .
"You used her you filthy worthless git ! To think she trusted a filthy brat like you ! How could you ? After all she did ?" Nate asked his eyes burning with tears and his mouth dry .
"I helped ! I gave her a choice between money and slogging but obviosly she chose what she called the 'right thing' ! She chose her own destiny !" Anson said enraged .
"You know what ? She loved you ! She wanted the best for you ! But you ! You killed her !" Nate said tears falling down his cheeks .
"So did I ! But she had to chose your good for nothing father over me !" Anson began .
"But you killed her !" Nate reasoned .
"Because of her foolishness ! She could have could earned with me !" Anson said .
"Atleast she died doing the right thing ! Unlike you who will die with his wrong!" Nate said .
"Huh ! As if keeping a son away from the father is the right thing !" Anson retorted .
"What do you mean ?" Emilia asked , the whole argument had confused her . She was not able to understand anything just like the others .
"She kept you away from me ! She kept you my son away from me your father !" Anson said definietly blinking away his tears .
"Whaa....." Nate was speechless . This was news to him . His mother had lied to him . His beloved mother had betrayed him , he was a murderer's son . This was kept away from his knowledge , sure he had questioned the fact that his mother's husband was his father because they had nothing in common but he loved him .
"Nate , son , come to me . Join me as we earn money !" Anson said spreading his arms . From behind him walked to men in black each wearing a grey belt on their waists . The men had masked faces , so none of them could see their faces .
Nate was flabbergastered , he had no idea what to say or to do . The news had a huge impact on him , he could not speak at all . Though he wanted to say something he was out of words .
Emilia seemed to sense Nate's feelings . She understood what impact the news must have had on him .
"He'll never join you !" Emilia exclaimed . Everyone's heads turned to face her each with a different expression . But all of them had one emotion in common curiosity .
"Do you think killing your beloved is what love is all about ? Do you think that just blurting out to your son that your his father all of a sudden would make him join you ? No ! Never !" Emilia replied .
"Do you think I wasn't upset at the fact ? Do you I did not cry heart out every night ? Either of two could only survive ! Either him or Grace ! Who should you think I should have chosen ? The son or the mother ? It pained me to kill her since I knew she won't be able to live without Nate . Nate was too young to understand ." Anson said his voice getting louder and louder by every word .
"You ..... killed her !" Nate finally said," You are the most heartless creature on earth ! You are a liar ! How could you ? You claim to love her and then you go murder her ? Is that love ? I have made my choice . I ...... I will not join you !"
"Fine . You make your own destiny . Boys ...... take them !" Anson said the last part barely in a whisper . He chocked .
The two men walked towards Emilia and Edward . But Nate stepped in front of them .
"You are not to touch them !" Nate said .
"Fine we'll take you instead !" One of the men said .
They took hold of Nate in both their arms . Nate kicked their feet knocking them off the ground , Emilia held onto one by clasping her hands on his . But man took it as an advantage .
He twisted her arms behind her , making her shout in pain . Edward pick up a thick book from the shelf and threw it at the man . It hit the black man just enough for him to let go of Emilia's hand .
Suddenly by the door stood two men dressed in a dark blue shirt and black jeans . And one thing Emilia kew for sure they were screwd . It was the Police !
