Chapter 268 - Liza Adams involvement

"Is that for me?" Chris curiously asked but after seeing the content of the box, his expression darkened.

Inside the box was a mini broken car which had a small mini female doll in it. The doll was also covered in blood. 

Picking up a neatly folded note which was lying on the bonnet of the mini broken car, Matt examined it. "Where did you find this?"

"It was lying on Mr Walker's car's rooftop. I checked the CCTV footage but found nothing. It's like mysteriously the box suddenly appeared there," Lucifer explained.

Looking at the box, Matthew started examining it. "I think I know who sent this." 

Rocky frowned and curiously asked, "You know?"

Showing them a small 'S' symbol at the bottom of the box, Matthew murmured, "It's from SPIRIT."

Kevin frowned and decided to take a closer look at the symbol. "How do you know that it is from SPIRIT?" 

"Not everyone knows about it but a few people who are very close to them and know them inside out would definitely know like the Evans family. If you ask Ronald Evans he will tell you about it too." Matthew explained. 

"How do you know about this symbol then? Are you close to SPIRIT too?" Ron knowing the symbol was quite acceptable by Matthew recognising it at once made Kevin wonder what more he knew about SPIRIT. If he knew about the symbol then he definitely knew about other things too. 

Placing the box, Matthew shook his head, "I am not close to SPIRIT neither do I know much about them but I have seen this box before." 

"Did you receive one too?" Rocky asked.

Matthew shook his head and added, "I didn't but-"

"My husband did." Walking towards them, Aunt Liza picked up the broken car and smiled. "They sent my husband a mini office chair with a mini male doll sitting on it. That doll was also covered in blood."

"Then what happened after that?" Chris asked anxiously. The car looked similar to the one Martha drove and he was sure that the female doll inside it was his wife.

Sitting down, Aunt Liza poured some wine for herself. "He was brutally killed by them in his office and I found him dead in the exact same position." 

Chris froze and got goosebumps all over his body. The thought about something similar happening to his beloved wife was giving him creeps and was making his heart ache.

Shifting towards Liza, Matthew side hugged her. He knew how painful it had been for her back then. Liza was all alone at that time and had to deal with everything alone. Her brother who was her only family, Victor Yugen was out for an overseas meeting back then and couldn't make it on time. He arrived only after the funeral of Liza's husband Josh Adams. 

Liza was the youngest daughter of the Yugen family. After their parents death, her big brother Victor Yugen took care of her. Liza always had a rough idea of what her brother did and she was never against it. Though she never detested it, she also wished to lead a peaceful and normal life without being involved in any kind of unruly thing. 

Liza was seventeen when she met her late husband Josh Adams. They coincidentally bumped into each other several times in different places and eventually fell in love and decided to get married. They didn't want to hold a banquet until Victor Yugen, who had gone for an overseas meeting, would come back so they decided to collect their marriage certificates first. 

Josh was a businessman and had started a small company not too long ago which he wished to expand. They were having a very good time together until a day before their wedding, Josh received a box from an unknown source along with a small folded note. Liza got terrified and asked him to go and report it to the police but Josh shrugged it off saying it was just a prank from someone and when she tried to ask about the note, he shrugged it off saying that it was nothing. 

Next day after collecting their marriage certificates, Adam received a call and immediately left for his office. He told Liza not to worry and he would come back for lunch, Josh Adams left home forever and never came back. 

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Matt asked, "How did you know that the box was sent by SPIRIT? Was uncle Josh involved with SPIRIT too? If he was really killed by them then why?" Not only Matt but everyone present were equally curious to know what the exact truth was.

" Aside from running a company Josh was also involved in an illegal business just like my brother. When I tried to investigate deeper, I found out that it was something to do with the darker side of his business. I was determined to find out everything and that is the time I came across SPIRIT." Coming from a family who had always been involved in such businesses, Liza pretty much knew how things worked. She was young but was a very brave and courageous woman. Victor Yugen had trained his sister well. Negotiating with people and washing her hands off a few stubborn one's, Liza found out about SPIRIT. At first she mistook SPIRIT to be a small organisation but later when her brother told her how huge and deep it's roots were, Liza was taken aback. She always wondered how Josh got involved and targeted by them. 

Taking a sip of her wine, Liza added, "Though it was almost impossible to find out anything about SPIRIT, I still did not give up. Digging deeper and travelling almost everywhere, I found a person who could help me. He promised to tell me everything if I helped him escape and also give him a new identity but he betrayed me. After taking my help, he disappeared. I tried to find him everywhere but couldn't.l

"Who was that man?" Rocky asked.

"His name was-"

Cutting Aunt Liza off, Kevin tapped his fingers on the armrest if the couch and exclaimed, "His name was Morris."
