One last time - Chapter 292
Watson Enterprise.
Father Watson frowned and grumbled, “And here I thought that my daughter was here because she missed me a lot. You really forgot your father after getting married.”
Hugging her father, Bella pressed her cheek against his and chuckled, “How can I forget my dad?”
Father Watson smiled and patted Bella’s back. He was happy that his precious daughter was happy and was living a blissful life. “Alright now tell me what do you young beautiful ladies want from this old man?”
“Dad, I want you to look for a CCTV footage.” Bella said.
Father Watson chuckled and helplessly shook his head. “Ahhh just that? Now that is very easy. You could’ve just called me and told me this over the phone sweetheart.”
Bella scratched her forehead and shook her head. ” No Dad, you are not understanding. That footage is deleted or may be tampered. I want you to revive it for us.”
Father Watson raised his eyebrows and asked, “Okay so what are you people up to?”
“Uncle do you know Joseph and Eva Walker?” Martha asked.
Father Watson frowned and pursed his lips. He hadn’t heard those names since a really long long time.
When Bella saw her father’s expression, she understood he knew something. “Dad, you know them right?”
When father Watson nodded his head, Bella asked, “Can you tell us something about them?”
“Eva is your mother’s twin sister and she married Joseph Walker.” Father Watson explained.
“WHAT?” All four of them shouted.
Father Watson sighed and added, “Yes, but a few years after their marriage, both of them disappeared mysteriously and were never found.”
“This-why don’t I know anything about it?” Bella asked.
“Because you were very small when this happened. In fact, you did not even see your aunt.” Father Watson explained.
“Didn’t you try to look for them? Didn’t mom ask you to look for aunt Eva?” Bella’s asked.
Father Watson nodded his head and sighed. “Yes, I did send several men to look for her and Joseph but those men never came back. And not only me, Joseph’s father also sent his men to look for them but the result was the same. It was like they mysteriously vanished in thin air. But why are you people suddenly asking about Eva?”
“Hmm I think I saw Chris’ mom in the washroom yesterday.” Martha explained.
Father Watson frowned and said, “Tell me everything.”
After narrating the entire incident to Father Watson, Martha added, “I didn’t want to tell Chris about it because it’s a huge thing. And what if I am wrong? I don’t want him to feel disappointed or sad.”
“Wait a second.” Father Watson excused himself and left.
“Hey do you think uncle knows something about SPIRIT too?” Janet asked.
“I guess.” Martha said.
“Will uncle help us find more information about SPIRIT?” Silvia asked.
“We can ask him.”
Silvia took a deep breath and sighed. “I want to know everything about SPIRIT because it’s me who is directly involved in it but Kevin doesn’t want to share any details with me. Like I know he doesn’t want me to get stressed and think about it all day but I want to know. I don’t want him to do everything while I sit back and relax.”
“Hmm I have the same thought. Rocky and brother Matthew are acting all secretive these days. They keep discussing something but they stop as soon as I approach them. Like Silvia even I am very much involved in this and I wish to actively be a part of it but they won’t even tell me anything.” Janet compalined.
“Well, since Matt is also a part of it and now my mother’s sister just pops up, I think I am in this too.” Bella reasoned out.
“Me too, I am in too. Since Chris is in and now suddenly his parents are a part of it too so I am also involved in this.” Martha said.
Janet thought for a while and suggested, “Since all of us are involved in this one way or the other, why don’t we do our own investigation?” Janet suggested.
“Our own investigation?” Silvia asked.
Janet nodded her head and explained, “We can take uncle Watson’s help and then do our own investigation. We can find out more details about SPIRIT and then once we acc.u.mulate enough details, we can pass it on to them.”
Bella nodded her head in approval. “This idea is actually great.”
“I think we will do great.” Martha added.
“So we have to hide this from them?” Silvia asked.
When everyone nodded their head, Silvia took a deep breath. “Alright then.”
Just then uncle Watson entered his office. “You will get the footage by evening.”
Father Watson raised his eyebrows when he realised that the four women were staring at him. “Is there something else I can help you with?”
Bella nodded her head and asked, “Dad can you tell us something about SPIRIT?”
“SPIRIT? What do you want to know about SPIRIT?” Father Watson asked.
“Everything that you know.” Silvia said.
“Hmmm, you see SPIRIT is a legendary and old organisation. There is very little that an outsider knows about SPIRIT and they are only assumptions made by critiques. If you wish to know about SPIRIT in detail then you have to look for someone who has been a part of it.” Father Watson explained.
“And where can we find such a person?” Bella asked.
Looking at his daughters shining bright eyes, father Watson frowned and shook his head. “No Bella, this is not happening.”
Bella puffed her cheeks and asked, “But why? I just want to know. I am curious.”
“This isn’t a joke or something like that okay? You people should stop right now in fact stop thinking about it already. There is no way I am letting any of you get involved in this.” Father Watson declared.
“But-”
“That’s it, I am calling your husband.” Taking out his phone, Father Watson started looking for Matt’s number.
“Stop if you tell him, I am not seeing you for at least six months.” Bella threatened her father. There was no way she would let him call Matt.
