"I also found out that she had an accident that caused her to loose her memory... her mum hide it from her." Knight concluded his explanation, he looked towards Liam to find him in a daze.
"I'm done, sir. Any instruction??" Knight asked gaining Liam's attention.
"Ohhh.. I'd like to meet her mum, can you set up a meeting??" "With the dead???, her mum is dead. Mr Birkin killed her with Shane." he said without a change of expression.

That night, Adira walked towards the mirror, looking at herself for a while.. then glanced at Jenner and Theo sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Looking back at herself, she scoffed.
'Am now an orphan???' she said to herself. 'I have a child???? what the heck is going on in my life' she whispered, tears falling off her eyes.
Going back to bed, she wasn't able to get any sleep before she heard a gunshot. She had been on her guard since she took Theo here knowing she had gotten warnings from both Liam and Mr Birkin.
Several gunshot sounded, breaking glasses. The sound caused Jenner to jump up from the bed. She could see Adira trying to keep the door to the room shut by keeping several things in front of it.
"Instead of covering it, I think we should be looking for ways to go out." Jenner said. She had Theo in her arms, he still slept peacefully.
"What do we do??? there is no escape from her!" Adira panicked. Picking up her phone, Jenner dialled her brother's number. On the second ring, he picked the call.
"What is it, Jen??" he asked with a suppressed yawn.
"We are being attacked... can you please send help??" she said tears rolling off her eyes. She could see Adira silhouette trying to look outside the windows. Her shoulders where vibrating and Jenner could tell the girl was crying seriously.
"They are on their way immediately." he said
"Leave the phone on call, don't cut it, okay???" he said when Jenner nodded.
"How is Adira and my son" she heard him ask... oh this was so touching...
"They're fine." she replied her eyes glancing towards Theo.
Soon enough, several gunshots were heard.. this time it seemed like their attention had changed. Using a small holes to look outside, Adira was a little thankful that their attention was diverted.
A knock sounded on the door... "Open up it's Knight." he said, recognizing his voice, Jenner still holding Theo in her arms.... after finding out that he was her nephew, she didn't ever leave him.... she opened the door and they immediately began to sneak them out of the house.
Coming downstairs wasn't easy for them since bullets were flying from different angles. They could see the car ahead of them which gave them more courage to step closer to it.
"They are there!!!" they heard a distant male voice causing them to run fast towards the car... Theo's glasses fell off Jenner's hand which caused Adira to bend so she can pick it up knowing that the small kid couldn't see without it.
Feeling that she was surrounded, Adira immediately changed her direction and began running into the woods. She knew if she runs towards Liam's car then they would kill her since she could see the pointer from their gun.
They shot through the woods but she kept running deeper, her fear of getting killed overpowered the fear of being in the woods alone.
She could hear footsteps coming after her so she increased her pace... she felt drenched and tired. Glancing at her back as few seconds passed her. she still held Theo's glasses on her hands as she ran.
Time passed and she knew she had lost them but she could feel the pain on her legs... she had been running without her slippers... she didn't even have any phone with her. Stopping to catch her breath, she sighted a large van close to her and without a second thought, she slipped into the boot immediately the van moved.
"Boss, we weren't able to get the goods as Heroux team had a fight. I couldn't afford to disturb them." he said and for a while he didn't speak before she heard him hang up.
"tsk tsk tsk!" he clicked his tongue before the entire van fell silent and she fell asleep due to the quietness and how exhausted she felt.
