One last time - Chapter 328

“Several years ago, Matilda Brown was the only one who approached me and she was also the only one who didn’t want to fight with her best friend.” Henry smiled.

“SPIRIT is for sure the most powerful organisation but always remember that nothing lasts forever and there is nothing that a few good brains, a wonderful team and a perfect strategy cannot take down.” He added.

Looking at Silvia, Henry continued, “Everyone says that the kids are their parent’s reflection but that is not true, kids can be different from their parents. What you want to be completely depends on you and no power can change it once you decide what you wanna be.”

Turning towards Janet, he added, “When you take decisions without thinking about the consequences, you suffer and regret it, one must always think carefully before taking any kind of decisions or step. You are exactly like Matilda but you are much stronger and sorted than your aunt, Janet.”

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Silvia asked, “Can you tell us something more about SPIRIT? And is there no simpler way we can solve this?”.

Smiling at them, Henry answered, “I understand your anxiety and fear over the entire situation but let me assure you something, there is no way anyone involved can shrug this off. Either you go there on your own or someone will force you to. But like I said before, you can still turn the entire situation in your favour. All you need is a few great minds and a bunch of people you can trust.”

Silvia sighed and massaged her forehead, she was too stressed and worried about everything that was happening. She knew that Kevin had been hiding many things from her and she also understood why he was doing that. He didn’t want her to take any kind of stress but how could she not be stressed or think about the entire situation when she was the one who was directly connected to it?

Placing her on Silvia’s, Janet whispered, “Don’t worry, we will find a way out.”

“Do you know anything about—”

Cutting Martha off, Henry smiled, “Harry and Kathy Walker? Yeah I know them.”

“They are alive?”

Placing the cup on the table, he nodded his head, “They are very much alive and breathing.” Without eating for her reply, he added, “You may be wondering why did they disappear or rather plan their disappearance several years ago.”

When Martha nodded her head, Henry continued, “Harry and Kathy were forced to leave their little baby boy alone and disappear because they wanted to keep him safe. They wanted him to lead a healthy and normal life unlike his mother.”

“What do you mean?”

“Kathy is an orphan, her parents were brutally killed by SPIRIT because her father, who was a high ranked government official had found something which would’ve dragged SPIRIT down.”

Pausing for a while, he continued, “After killing her parents, the then leader of the SPIRIT brought Kathy to the organization and trained her to be one of the agents. Kathy was extremely phenomenal and skilled, she was highly praised and the most trusted member of the organization until she fell in love with Harry Walker.”

“Why? Is falling in love forbidden there?” Bella inquired.

Henry sighed and nodded his head. “Once you start working for SPIRIT, you can’t marry anyone. There are many rules that you’ll have to follow but Kathy followed none and eloped with Harry.”

“What happened after that?” Martha asked.

“Well, they got married and lived peacefully for a few years. Harry Walker did everything to keep his beloved safe and sound but Kathy’s fate was webbed with SPIRIT. So when she was taken away by them, Harry followed his wife and decided to rescue her. He made a kind of an agreement with SPIRIT and joined the group leaving everything behind.”

Martha frowned and inquired, “Why would he do that? Didn’t he try to get out of it along with his wife and go back to their son and family?”

Looking at her, Henry smiled, “People will think that Kathy and Harry are selfish and useless parents but we always forget that there are two sides in a coin.”

Pausing for a while, he continued, “Henry Walker is a very wise man, he knew that there was no way out and if he tried to do anything out of the box, not only them but his son and his parents would also get killed so he decided to give in to the situation.”

“I don’t understand, so he joined SPIRIT to save his wife? How?” Silvia asked.

“I think you people have heard that SPIRIT has lost so much over the years and it’s not as powerful as it used to be. With a very few wise men left in the organization, it was very difficult to carry out missions. More than wealth and resources, they needed someone who would plan and strategize missions for them and Harry Walker was the perfect man for them.”

Janet frowned and curiously asked, “But they knew that he was against them right?”

Henry shrugged his shoulder and answered, “It didn’t matter because they knew Harry would never go against them because SPIRIT had his family in their radar. If he did anything to cross them, they would harm his family and Harry was very well aware of that.”

“So you mean they are already plotting things against SPIRIT within the organization?” Bella inquired.

“As expected from Watson’s daughter, you are as sharp as you father and husband,” he smiled.

“So—”

“Ahh yes, they are already doing what they can and all they need now is a good boost. They need someone to support them all the way through and cover up their actions.” Pausing for a while, he added, “If you want to come out of everything, you need to attack the roots of SPIRIT because that will make them internally weak and that is what we want.”

…..

An hour later.

Outside the mansion.

Placing her hand on Silvia’s shoulder who was in a daze, Janet asked, “Sil, are you okay?”

Silvia sighed and nodded her head. After the long talk with Henry, she was feeling more dejected and worn out. She had no idea how they were supposed to come out of this huge mess which was sucking up on her like a leech, dragging everyone down.
