Andrew didn't know what to make of it all . He had no idea why all this was happening to him . He had never hurt anyone in his life . Andrew was busy in his thoughts when his landline started ringing . Emma had already left for her office , so he answered the call himself . "Hello ?" He asked . "Andrew why didn't you come to work today ? " it was Robert . He was sounding petrified due to some reason . 

"I'm really sorry sir , but I've been really sick all day , I won't be able to make it today ." replied Andrew . "You ...... You can't do this to me ..... No I beg you Andrew , please come soon please . You have to come . I'm a dead man .... She'll .... She'll kill me . I've failed to do what she asked me to ..... You ... You need to stay away from this place An.... Woaw ... Don't come any closer .... Please I did everything you wanted please let me go ! No.. Pl......." And then nothing . Andrew couldn't hear anything else from the other end except a beeping tone of the Landline .

 The call had ended abruptly . Andrew didn't know what had been going on there but it was certain that Robert was in trouble . He decided to go to the office and see but he saw the time , 4:30 pm . He had to meet his father in another half hour . He quickly got dressed and made his way to the cafe .

A while later........

Andrew and Henry were sitting at the corner table , drinking coffee . Andrew had told him everything that had happened . The convocation, the weird noise , the woman and the veil , everything . Henry listened in utter disbelief . "Dad , what is going on ? Why is this happening to me ? " asked Andrew . "It's not you Andrew . You have done nothing . This all goes back to the time of your great uncle Michael West." Said Henry.

 "Who had disappeared suddenly ?" asked Andrew . "Yes . He had done something really wrong and that stain is what haunts the West family line. Here take this file , it has the answers to all of your questions son . Just be careful . " said Henry . " But how is this possible? Spirits , ghosts , paranormal occurrences , I don't believe this . Are all these things really true?" asked Andrew . 

"Even I didn't believe in all this rubbish at first Andrew , when your grandfather told me about this . But then he disappeared suddenly one day , and then my brothers too . I knew by then something is wrong . And it is not from this world . " replied Henry . "But you're alright aren't you ? How come nothing happened to you? "asked Andrew . "That is something even I don't have an answer to . I was careful all the time . I made it a point never to come in contact with any of Ms. Sorrens' family. I even distanced you from me so that you would not get into trouble and now, now she has found you ."replied Henry , almost close to crying .

"It's not your fault dad . But who's Robert ? How do you know him?" Asked Andrew. "The woman your great uncle murdered , Amelia Sorrens , he's her great grandson's nephew . He has always spied on our family ever since I can remember . I thought it was just because the guy's a nut job but I didn't know it was for a more sinister purpose . Just promise me Andrew you will not step foot again in that office . Promise me ." said Henry . "OK dad. I promise . And thank you for this . I'll be in touch . " said Andrew and soon enough he was back home .

 He kept staring at that file , which was quite bulky and thick . He looked at the clock . Emma would be late today so he had some time on his hands , and a lot of reading to do . Not wasting another moment , Andrew opened up the dusty old file and began reading it ..............
