Chat wakes up. He looks forward to his date with Marinette! He figures nothing could go wrong, right! Little did he know how far from the truth he actually was for that matter.
"Chat, I need to tell you something!" Nathalie says.
"Oh, what is it?" Chat asks.
" I just wanted to let you know the mysterious voice I heard in the meeting with your father, as I mentioned before well it was not a man's voice. You see he was talking to a woman!" Nathalie says.
Chat thinks about this for a moment. He wonders what could this mean? Who could the woman be who spoke to his father moments before his death? What could this new information mean?
Natalie's flashback...
" Adrien must never find out the truth! You understand?" Gabriel says.
"Sir, don't you think he deserves to know?" Nathalie asks.
"I believe it is in his best interest, if he does not know," Gabriel says.
"Oh, but sir, how will I explain it too him if he ever asks about his background?" Nathalie asks.
"Just tell him he is adpopted! He need not know anything else!" Gabriel says.
"Sir, you really expect me to lie to him?" Nathalie asks.
"i expect you to do as I tell you, after all you are a servant! I can fire you, you know." Gabriel says.
"Yes, sir." Nathalie says.
end of flashback ...
Nathalie wonders, what does this mean? Before she can think about it more, she has another flashback.
Nathalie's other flashback...
Nathalie over hears a private conversation between Mr. Agreste and some woman.
This is what she hears. "Mr. Agreste, you really must reconsider!" the woman says.
" I will not! My answer is no!' Gabriel says.
" What? what about my daughter though?" the woman says.
" She will just have to grow up knowing her mother was some crazy woman who did something she never should have done!" Gabriel says.
"What? You wouldn't dare tell her!" the woman protest
"Oh, wouldn't I? I owe it to my best friend's memory to let her know. She must know for her sakes and for my son's sake as well." Gabriel says.
"What does your son have to do with any of this?" the woman says.
"Well, are children are best friends!" Gabriel says.
"Not anymore! I will forbid her to have anymore to do with him!" the woman says.
"You can't do this to them forever!" Gabriel says.
"Oh, I can and I will!" the woman says.
Then, unknown to anyone else, the woman pulls something from behind her pack, a dagger and plunges it into Gabriel's chest.
The woman looks at his body as he gasps for air. "Sorry, to do this too you, but the secret must be kept for my sake and my daughters! As for the children, they will never see each other again!" the woman laughs. She attempts to wipe her fingerprints off the dagger, when she hears a knock at the door. She panics, walks over to the window, opens it and leaves through it. As she leaves she whispers, "So long Gabriel!"
