Don't do this Cassie, it actually is personal and does not concern you”. Jake thought that saying that would make her drop the key for him.“If you aren't ready to tell what the key is for or even what it opens then I'll find out myself, I'm sure Max would know about it”.Jake shouted immediately. “No, not Max. You are not to tell anybody about the key Cassandra, not even Max, you must promise me”.Now she wants to know what was really going on, at first he lied that he was not looking for anything, when he was actually looking for a key and now he doesn't want to let Max in on it. Jake was actually keeping something from them and whatever it was he has to tell her and tell her now.“jake?”, She called him sternly. “What is going on and I'm not going to ask you a second time, if you don't tell me, then I have no option but to ask Max for some information”.Jake sighed wearily, there was no other way to go about it but to tell her about it, she would have persisted and woke the entire
Jake had to let Cassandra understand something. “Cassie, I'm not saying she's good, I can't forget what she did to you like it never happened or what Fred did to you and Max at the resort, like hell Max is still in pain, but there's something you need to know, she can't be completely wrong. In every lie there's always an atom of truth, all we have to do is search for the truth. We can't discard any information that comes our way it wouldn't be wise at all”.“I see where you are coming from and what you are trying to get at, all I'm saying is, she knows this thing about you. That you can't stand being betrayed, she's using it against you and trying to shift your focus somewhere else instead of her, I bet if it was that Fred McCarthy that came over to you with this kind of talk, you wouldn't even listen to him not to talk of accepting the diary”.Bringing up Fred in their discussion did not sit well with him at all, it sent some kind of wave through his body and it made him uncomfortabl
The first page only had the senior McPherson's name on it, designed craftly in bold ink. “ROBINSON MCPHERSON”.It might not hold what he expected, except the old man's day to day life's activities that would be recorded in it, according to the way he knew diary's go. It might just hold deep, naughty secrets about the owner himself and not any other person in particular unless it is connected with another person.He adjusted the pillow behind him do he could prop up his back to a better position and crossed his leg. Time to open the first page, as he did what he read hit him in the eye like a canon to the wall. Robinson McPherson was talking about his children. He only heard of his grandparents and his parents, but he had never heard of Fred and Aiden's parents or even a word has been said about Tyler's parents. And there was Josh too. He was a bastard grandson,but from which part of the family. He could only hope the diary holds more insight for him.Robinson and Elizabeth had three c
There could be some connections with the mail she received and the discovery of Fred's body in the oil well.Jake had to be careful now, even with Sarah or she might be caught up in the entire fiasco.“What time did you receive the mail?”. Jake asked her.“After we got the report from Vladmir, I spoke to him on the phone since he insisted on talking to me and begged me to look into the car specifically”.Something was not clear on this, the fact that a body was found, Fred's body that only he, Sarah, and the person who took the photograph was aware of, no one can link it to them, except if the person that took the picture was I no way connected to Fred and just stumbled on the incident. But that cannot be possible. He looked at her and could see worry in her eyes. “You have to pull yourself together Sarah, so you don't let anything slip, you've handled situations that are worse than this, so don't get jitters from this one”.“What about the mail I received?” She protested. That was ac
“I'm in a tight spot right now, but I'll let it go, not because of your grandfather, but I believe you were actually trying to defend yourself, you don't strike me as a violent man Jake, and bad for business too. but you do have some explaining to do, maybe dinner at my place whenever you have the chance?”. Vladimir asked him.Jake wasn't expecting it to go so well, he was thrilled at the way Vladimir consented to his request. “Sure, it would be a pleasure to have dinner at your place”. Best to stay on the old man's good side for now and not turn down his offer of breakfast so he does not revert back to his words. He thanked the man again and hung up the phone. His suspicions for Vladimir also vanished as he hung up the phone, maybe he wasn't part of it, but he'd need his friend to run a check on him and Elizabeth McPherson, if they had any history together. Only then would he be totally convinced.Sarah was mute all through, waiting for him to end the conversation and it ended up wit
Even his voice still had that deep time to it, he was shriveled and shrunken alright,but his spirit has not been dampened yet. Jake just stared at him in disbelief, what was once a powerful man even at an old age has reduced to this level because of his evil lifestyle, there was nothing left for him to live on for, this is where the rest of his life would be. If it doesn't end soon due to the hardships he was facing in the prison.“You haven't said why you are here young McPherson”. Hargreaves voice entered into his ear making him look at the old man directly in the eyes.Not waiting for any response the old man went on. “I am very well aware of the fact that I have not committed any crime while in this hole you put me in, you've taken all the resources I have available to do anything”.Jake relaxed in his chair giving the man the chance to speak his mind, he surely has not had any visitors since he got locked up, so here was an opportunity for his tongue to be let loose and wag as mu
Jake waited for some minutes so that the old man would be in a better position to answer his questions. For him to get what he needs, he doesn't just want Hargreaves to have a stable body but be in a stable mind as well. Watching him regain his composure he felt it alright to to start.“If you can remember correctly, which I do hope you remember. Charlotte asked you one time about my grandmother, Elizabeth McPherson. I'm sure you know her”.“Yes I am, and I remember when Charlotte asked about her. I just felt she wanted to know about her to make an impression on you. I never knew the request came from you, if you had come to me directly then, I would have told you all you needed to know”Jake shook his head, he was amazed at how the man was still trying to get on his good sides. A chameleon will always be a chameleons no matter how many colors it can change into. So will a snake always be a snake no matter how many times it sheds it's skin. “You and I both know you wouldn't have told
“Please tell me you've got some useful information”. Jake said as he entered the house, to the place where Max was sitting.“I don't know if they are information that you can put to good use, but I've got what you asked for”. Max said.“Are you ready to hear them now or you want to go freshen up.Jake thought for a moment before saying. “Hit me with it, I better listen to it now than later”.Max cleared his throat. “From what I could find, not much was said about your parents, Tyler's and even Fred's parents. Their Information has been wiped from the internet, you can't find anything reasonable about them not even pictures, like it was done on purpose”.“But we're you able to get what I asked for specifically?”.“Yes I did, that was a tough job. But I got it. Tyler's fathey was Pius McPherson, your father was Jimmy McPherson, then we have Fred and Aiden's father, which you can guess is Edward McPherson”.The information sank into Jake's mind, so Tyler's father was the real firstborn
