"Was your mission successful this time?" There was a baritone voice of a man she had known so well in the video.
Not feeling Jessi's body in place when seeing a video that shows the picture of the ex-husband in it. He was silent for a long time, until a grasp of Nicholas' hand awakened him from the daydream.
"Do you know him too?" Jessi immediately stared intently as if in disbelief at George, at this moment everything felt so confusing to him.
The man nodded small. "He was announced as the legitimate son of Marcopolo seven years ago." George tried to recall the face in the video. The moment Brian sets foot in the mafia world, he is indeed introduced as the son of the missing Marcopolo. Even the reception was very lively at that time. So, the three big families must know who the man is.
"Marcopolos? The legendary mafia elder with his crimes?" Jessi raised her voice, demanding answers, staring as if in disbelief at George, her feelings really like being played this time.
George nodded, confirming the sentence that came out of the missus' mouth because that was the case.
Jessi's body shook, one hand clenched tightly. Blood seemed to flow rapidly to the crown, making the tip of the fingers feel so cold. The pretty face started to turn deathly pale, with extremely terrifying eye beads.
Seven years was not a short time, even then they were still a couple with Brian. However, the man never once told her about his biological family, other than he was from an orphanage in Rural Country X.
If Brian is the legitimate son of Marcopolo and the brother of Johnny Messis who incidentally is the leader of the Virgoun mafia, it means that all the investigations of malice have been the work of the two brothers. With the help of the government under the leadership of Jerry Morning, as well as the protection of the highest ranks of the Barron Night police.
Enough is enough, the woman limp while closing her eyes. Everything that is happening now is no longer able to be digested by his sanity. Jessi exhaled a long breath, raising her head while closing her eyes for quite a long time, until finally choosing to stand up from his position staring fixedly at the face of a loyal husband calming beside him in a time when he was chaotic like this.
"Darling, I want to go to the old house." Feeling the hand of the wife in his grasp was already so cold and trembling in shock knowing this fact, Nicholas nodded his head lightly. He himself only knew the facts now, it was only appropriate when investigating about Brian that there was only empty data he got.
The man knew enough how surprised Jessi was because of this. Lies, betrayals, even crimes that once filled his heart as if killing his wife's mind if not strong enough to hold everything.
"I'm with you." He stood up from his position while still clasping his wife's small hand tightly, while Jessica only nodded lightly.
"Can be dissolved!" said Jessi.
Everyone in the room was confused by the behavior of the two, but they could only follow the orders of the master without asking much. All this time no one knew Jessi's true status was a widow.
The couple immediately stepped out of the room towards the car garage. Initially Jessi wanted to ask to use a motorbike, but seeing the condition of his wife, and the cold weather made Nicholas allow to use a vehicle with an open roof only. The journey is quite far and will take a long time. He just didn't want his wife to get sick after this.
Jessi realized that. Fortunately today was a weekend, so her husband did not accept work on a day like now and preferred to accompany his wife all day.
As a new married couple, of course, Nicholas does not want to waste time just by finding money and accumulating wealth. His time with his wife was the cure of all fatigue after working on other days.
The car was speeding along the highway, the air outside was already cold enough and his wife forced to open the roof. A strong wind blew his wife's beautiful hair. He sat at the top while stretching out his hands.
"Let's!" Jessi screamed with all her might, the quiet streets leaving her free to do anything without worrying about the comfort of the other road users.
Every gust of cold wind that hit his face seemed to carry away the burden of his life. According to Jessi, wind and water are the best elements to realign her messy mind.
After a long time, they finally arrived at the abandoned house of the Alexander family. The cold, silent, and gripping weather adds to the creepy impression of the old building. Unknowingly the gust of wind carried a soothing floral scent, although the feathers were already bristling, but a strong determination to unravel all the puzzles made Jessi convince herself to step into the residential area.
However, the woman nodded small. "I'll be fine." Jessi drew closer to her husband, wrapping her hands between his shoulders and neck, hugging tightly while inhaling a masculine scent as a filler of her strength.
"As long as there's you, I'll be fine, honey." Jessi loosened her arms while smiling at her husband, after gathering courage.
"Come on!"
They stepped into the abandoned residential area. Cold air makes the plants around begin to wither and even die because of the weather changes that occur.
"What do you want to look for, Sweety?" A gust of wind blew the dried leaves that were falling all over, as if welcoming the arrival of a married couple at the entrance.
"I'm sure you have solid evidence to make them choose to close the real truth."
The sound of hinges creaking as Jessi's hand pushed against the weathered wooden door at the age was so clear that it pierced the eardrum. There has been no change from this building since the last time they came. Just the trash of trees and the pile of dust flying as the host here.
They went back to every room there. "About where you're gonna keep the evidence, honey?" Jessi has no memory of this house, so it is quite difficult to guess which room to investigate.
"We're looking in your parents' room first!"
"Come on!" They walked up the stairs, towards the second floor. Previously, their exploration stopped in the baby room. Now, the couple walked to the other room.
Opening the door of one of the rooms, it looks a spacious and messy space. The size is larger than the other rooms. They spread their views all over.
"Sweety, if the evidence here was paper, it might have been destroyed by age. But, thirty years ago there was no data storage as it is now." Jessi nodded, confirming her husband's conjecture. However, he would not give up so easily.
A statue of Themis with a sword and scales in its hand is seen, as a symbol of justice. Jessi stepped closer, picking up the thing that caught her attention.
His father was a Prosecutor Executor, it is natural to have a statue like this in his house.Made of metal makes the object still intact, even though it has been thirty years. Jessi cleaned up the dirt that was attached there using her clothes just like that.
For him, this is one of the remaining memories of his parents. Nich saw what his wife was doing and approached. "What are you doing, Sweety?"
"I'm cleaning this up, honey." Jessi rubs strongly because the dust that sticks is thick enough.
"If you want, just take it home, honey. We can clean up at home later."
Without looking at the husband Jessi constantly rubbing the statue, until unexpectedly, began to appear an engraving on the bottom of the object.
"It." Nich and Jessi stare at each other in disbelief as to whether this is the answer to their search.
