"Two pieces of bad news?" Natasha frowned as she continued to stare straight at Skanov. Then, her lips suddenly curved up. "Does it matter?"
Skanov smiled and sighed in relief.
"The idea of your investigation is correct. Your mother's death is indeed related to your father. It was the Special Forces under the 58th Army. The order was issued by the Russian Security Service."
Natasha took in a deep breath of cold air. Her fingers trembled as she tried to control the sorrow that was about to overwhelm her. She was desperately trying to sound strong.
"And the other piece of bad news is?"
"The other bad news is related to your mother's death. Are you sure you want to hear about it?" Skanov smiled. "Old guy Nikolaev will not want you to know."
"Say it," Natasha said it expressionlessly.
