Chapter 243 - Liza Adams

Jackie took a deep breath and said," I wasn't around when all of this happened and it took me years to find out where she was buried." 

The caretaker sighed and said," These days young people don't have any time for each other. It's such a shame. If not for the kind lady they poor young girl wouldn't have received a single flower for the past twenty eight years."

" Young lady?" Jackie asked.

" There is a woman who comes to visit her husband twice or thrice a month and she brings an extra bundle for your friend." The caretaker said.

Jackie lowered his head and quietly followed the caretaker.

Stopping midway, the caretaker said," The second last grave."

Jackie nodded his head and said," Thank you so much."

The caretaker nodded his head and left.

Tightening his grip around Tili's favourite flower that he was holding, Jackie took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before walking towards the Tili's grave.

Stopping right in front of the second last grave, Jackie sighed when he saw Tili's photograph in the tombstone.

Squatting down, he placed the flower in her grave and said," Hey love." Before caressing her photograph.

Jackie smiled and asked," It's been long, isn't it?" 

" It took me twenty-eight years to find you and I am extremely sorry for the delay. I hope you will understand." Jackie said.

Jackie chuckled and said," I always wanted to find your grave and then talk to you for hours but now that I am here, I don't know what to say."

Pausing for a while, Jackie lowered his head and said," I miss you Tili." 

" I am sure she missed you too." A woman said before placing a bunch of flowers on Tili's grave.

Turning to the other side, Jackie wiped his tears away before turning towards the woman.

Taking out a tissue from her bag, the woman gave it to Jackie and said," Here, you can use this."

Taking the tissue from her, Jackie said," Thank you for this."

The woman smiled and placed the other bunch of flowers on her husband's grave which was right beside Tili's grave.

" The caretaker told me that you used to bring flowers for Tili-I mean Matilda as well. Thank you so much for doing that." Jackie said.

The woman smiled and said," Its alright you don't have to thank me. When I realised that no one ever visited her and brought flowers, I started bringing one for her too and besides I strongly feel that by now she and my husband have become really good friends." before letting out a soft chuckle.

Jackie smiled and said," May be."

" So was she your girlfriend?" The woman asked.

Jackie sighed and nodded his head," Yes."

" You shouldn't feel sad for her because I believe that after death, they live a very peaceful and blissful life." The woman said.

Pausing for a while, the woman said," Ahh I forgot to introduce my husband. So this is my husband Josh." 

" How did this happen?" Jackie asked.

" He was murdered the very day we got married." The woman said.

" I am so-"

Cutting him off, the woman smiled and said," It's alright, I am happy that I at least got a chance to take the wedding vows with him."

Jackie sighed and said," I wanted to marry her too but-"

" It's okay, there is no point thinking about what you couldn't do. Why don't you just cherish the beautiful moments that you spent with her?" The woman said.

Jackie smiled and nodded his head. 

" Liza Adams." The woman said.

" Jackson Jones." Jackie said.

Pausing for a while, Jackie asked," Do you come here often?"

" Well, I come here twice or thrice a month and whenever I feel like talking to him." Liza said.

After talking to each other for quite some time, they got ready to leave the graveyard.

Liza chuckled and said," They must be so mad at us, we kept on talking to each other and did not talk to them at all." 

Jackie smiled and said," Didn't you say that they are friends? So I don't think so they will mind." 

" Hopefully." Liza said.

" It's getting dark, we should leave." Jackie said.

Liza nodded her head and said," Yeah we should."

….

Outside the cemetery.

" I guess I don't have to bring an extra set of flowers starting my next visit." Liza said.

" Well, you-"

Cutting him off, Liza chuckled and said," I was just kidding. I'll always bring an extra set no matter what." 

Jackie smiled and said," Thank you for that."

Just then Liza's phone buzzed and she said," I'll get going now. It was nice meeting you Jack." 

Jackie smiled and said," It was nice meeting you too Liza." 

Liza flashed Jackson a smile before boarding her car.

…..

Inside the car.

" Hello." Liza said.

" Aunt Liz, where are you?"

" I am here to visit your uncle but I am leaving now. What happened Oli?" Liz asked.

" Aunt I want to talk to you about something very important." Oliver Adams said.

Liza nodded her head and said," I'll be home by evening." Before hanging up the call.

…..

Matt's base.

" I told that Austin guy everything that day." Morris said.

Matt smiled and said," But I know that you know much more than you are telling us."

Morris fronwed and said," I don't know anything."

" Morris, I am a very gentle and humble man. I don't want to resort to any kind of violence or unruly method to take things out of you but if you force me like this then don't blame or curse me later." Matt said.

Morris thought for a while and asked," What else do you want to know?"

" I want more details about SPIRIT and Sabrina Jones." Matt asked.

Just then a subordinate stepped in and said," Boss, Mr Austin, Mr Walker and Mr Wilson are here."

Getting up, Matt buttoned his suit and said," You have a few minutes to think about it." Before walking out of the room.

….

Waiting room.

" What are you people doing here?" Matt asked.

" We also wanted to hear what that Morris guy will say and Kevin wanted to talk to you about something." Rocky said.

" What is it?" Matt asked Kevin before sitting beside him.

" Do you know about SHADOW?" Kevin asked.

Matt frowned and murmured," SHADOW." 

Thinking about quite sometime, Matt gasped and widened his eyes in shock.

" Are you talking about THE SHADOW? The most feared gang till date? The one which is known to be vanished but is still working in a very low-key manner? That shadow?" Matt asked excitedly.
