Mother’s Wish

Old P heard the beginning of Kimi's words and looked confused. "Uhm.. If I recall my past, I cannot quite remember ever meeting anyone that could be identified as your mother."

Kimi sighed in response to his words and nodded. "It is true. My mother never met you but she had a reason to find you. It seemed like she was very worried about something for a long time and left some things in a secret place.

Mother did not wish for my father to be involved in any of it and only told me some of the details in a letter left behind for me just in case something went terribly wrong. My mother was searching for you and wanted to make contact with you but was unable to.

I am just carrying out the wishes of my mother while having some plans of my own that had lead me to continuing her goal of finding you. I do not know all of the details but it was of great importance and that only you would be able to help.

The main concern was that my mother did not know you well enough to put her trust in you before she met her end and I have tried to learn the same during our time working together."

Old P nodded slowly placing his hand under his chin. "Hrm.. so you mean to say that your mother wished to find me for some reason but was unable to and now you are just doing what she asked.

I can understand her not being sure about trusting me due to my reputation but it seems like your mother was quite skilled to be able to track me down and provide you with a means of finding me too. Both mother and daughter are remarkable."

Meanwhile he had thought to himself. 'Hmm.. I can recall the background check I did on her so it could check out. There are many of the Jenny family that have remarkable abilities. The main concern I have is that her mother is dead.'

He knew that the death of Kimi's mother was reported as a normal incident that happened in the line of duty that caused the loss of a mother and wife to the family.

The main issue was that not all deaths that occurred and were investigated until being put into the system were completely correct or trustworthy.

Not everything was as simple as what was shown in the data and there could always be hidden plots and coverups involved.

Unfortunately he could not look into a past incident and reopen such a case due to his current position.

If it was back in the days when he was in the special task force then he would have had a lot more freedom to do so.

It also did not help that the death was already something that had happened some time ago so the chances of additional evidence and links to the death showing up were very low.

What Kimi had told him let him get lost in the conspiracy of her mother's death along with there being an underlying reason why her mother may have encountered such a fate.

She made an effort to draw attention to the fact that she was still just a child who had lost her mother while trying to carry out her mother's wish.

It was something that would be difficult to ignore and not sympathise with unless the person listening to it had a heart of stone.

He had to admit that if he was in such a position then he would approach such a situation curiously too and not reveal his motives so soon just in case it was dangerous to reveal sensitive information and be taken advantage of.

Old P slowly started to see things from Kimi's perspective and agreed that her actions were correct.

A slight look of sadness was shown on the face of Kimi as she went on to explain. "What mother said was that she encountered a strange group one night who were attacked.

They did not give their identities or affiliation before they passed away but they did leave behind something to my mother telling her to find you to give those things over to you."

Old P started to think about what had been mentioned and started to come up with his own theory. 'It sounds like someone had some sensitive information or an item of great importance that should have been meant for me.

Unfortunately before such people to try to evade the eyes of others to track me down or approach others that could help them they were most likely found and dealt with. If they were involved in something big and sensitive then they could have taken the risk knowing they may be killed anyways.'

There were many types of organisations that made use of people to carry out tasks and kept many matters top secret.

Due to the heavy secrecy, they would go as far as silencing those that no longer had any use or were considered as a liability.

The story provided by Kimi had painted a picture of such people trying to pass on something of importance that could expose a groups crimes.

Another possibility was that they could have been a group that had been traitors of a group who perhaps planned to sell off something of high value.

In such cases, it was very easy for those kind of deals to fail causing sudden changes that could lead to betrayal, withdrawal and even death.

Either of such available theories provided some kind of explanation for what had taken place during that time. "I see.. so what is it they planned to pass on?"

Kimi hesitated for some time before speaking again. "Mother left me a suggestion to better help protect myself. If it is okay with you then I will provide a little at a time. I have come to trust in you but mother said I should be careful."

Old P nodded again showing his understanding. "Your mother was a very careful person it seems. It is good that you inherited that from her. Do as you wish. Even if it is something big, I promise not to go changing on you."

Kimi looked up towards his face studying his features carefully then took out a small device similar to what she had used in the previous task. "This is the first part. I hope it will be of some help. That is all for now."
