Lets get to business straight away!

Quick recap from chapter 17.

Mother stepped forward and looked into my eye, she placed her hands on my shoulder and maintained an eye contact before finally saying,

-

''Darling I need to tell you something very important.

I want you to listen to me very carefully, I need you to know about someone.''

Mother said while she still maintained a serious eye contact,

I was forced into an eye contact and a conversation.

All I really wanted to do was look at what was in that folder in the usb.

However I replied in a steady voice,

''Yes mother, carry on.''

She broke the eye contact and looked down to the ground, as if there was a regret in her heart over something, she replied after catching all my attention,

''Lets make the long story short.

I need you to know about a woman, Kelly.''

''Kelly?''

I asked in astonishment, I didn't know any one named that but I thought I had seen that name somewhere recently, mother carried on while still looking at the firm ground,

''Yup, Kelly. Kelly millington.''

I really put my mind to that name, I was sure I had heard that name before.

It was familiar, it was at the back of the mind and I kept pushing myself to work out where I had heard it.

I asked mother in a confused voice after she stopped talking,

''Who is that? And wh..''

I stopped as I was interrupted by a loud ringtone, I took out my phone from my pocket and looked at the screen which was blank.

I realised, it wasn't my phone, it was Clara Kim Watson's phone which was ringing.

Obviously you know, that's maa.

I heard mother talk on phone while I waited for her to hang up, it was weird, the way she was talking, and the things she was saying, it all sounded very weird,

''I must, and I, I will.

No no no no no, you cannot. You, you cannot do that, you're out of your mind.

Look I must, try and unders.. okay okay calm down, calm down.

Okay I won't do it, fineee. fineee.

Byee.''

Mother looked scared and frightend while she spoke on call,

she had a tensed look and when she finally dropped her call, I asked her in curiosity,

''Who was it? And who is Kelly?''

She mummered the words and spoke in nervousness,

''No one. No one, urmm Kelly, yes. Kelly, urmm who Kelly?

I, I need to, need to, urmm go. Yeh, I need to go sweetheart, byeee.''

She left before I could even say a word.

Mother always spoke that way when she was nervous or when she was hiding stuff, there was certainly a problem I knew nothing about.

The sudden need for a conversation, suddenly forgetting the name she mentioned and the creepy call, it all could be connected.
