The Letter (LD Thoughts)

*Page created by: Lead Detective*

My dear son,

1) I knew that this day would come. I knew it all along. It made the unacceptable more tolerable. It didn't justify my decision, but it helped me keep my sanity.

*a) What is the date of "this day"?,*

*b) What caused Dad to know this in advance?*

2) As I'm writing these words, I remember the last day we spent together. My memories are so vivid. I didn't know back then that it was our last opportunity. That I had to leave you so abruptly.

*a) What is the date Dad and Wally were last together?*

3) I remember all of it, Wally. The old house, the mountains, the blue sky and you. You, running towards me. You and your arms wide open.

*a) What is the location that Dad is referring to?*

*b) Why is Wally running towards his Dad with open arms?*

4) You trusted me back then. And I'm asking you to trust me again.

5) I know that I'm asking for a lot. I know that some of your days have been so hard. And, that you probably felt like you hated me when deep down, you missed me.

6) I missed you, too. Every day. The pain is still unbearable. My only comfort is knowing that you will accept to face your destiny.

*a) Is Dad still alive considering he says the the pain is still (not was) unbearable?*

7) If you've come back to where it all ended, it's because you believe that you are ready to follow my tracks. And ready to go beyond them. To go back to the source. Where, I hope, everything will make sense.

*a) What is the location of "where it all ended"?*

*b) Where is "the source"?*

*c) What is "the source"?*

8) The past is vast, Wally. Vast and dangerous. Most of our ancestors risked all they had to protect what you are looking for today. Their wealth, their life, their family.

*a) Why is the past "dangerous"?*

*b) Who are some of the ancestors other than 1EW and Satoshi?*

*c) What is Wally looking for today that needs protection?*

9) I know that I did.

10) I'm sure that you have thousands of questions, but I don't have all the answers.

*a) What answers does Dad have?*

11) The past is so vast- so much has to be uncovered.

12) I can't answer all of your question, but I can tell you why I did what I had to do.

13) When my grandfather's grandfather came to this country he truly thought that he was finally about to succeed. He had picked the right mind to guide. But... he underestimated our enemies. They trapped him. The bill of exchange that he signed under the tree was fake. What happened then destroyed his honour.

*a) Who is Dad's great great grandfather (GGG)?*

*b) Who's mind did GGG pick to guide him?*

*c) Who are "our enemies"?* **Our enemies are the ones that came a long, long time ago and stole our secret. They are all very powerful and resourceful. They have ruled empires and shaped the course of history. My ancestors fought to take our secret back- and protect it. This battle is bigger than my ancestors and me. It started back then… it never stopped… and it continues today**

*d) How and why did they trap him?*

*e) What "bill of exchange" (BOE) under what "tree"?*

*f) What was the fake aspect of the BOE?*

14) He was silenced, cast aside and his friend had no choice but to look the other way.

*b) Why did his friend need to "look the other way"?*

15) What my grandfather's grandfather started was never ended. Worse- It was corrupted.

*a) What did GGG start that "never ended"?*

*b) What constituted is being "corrupted"?*

16) The shame killed him, but the secret survived and was passed from hand to hand, mouth to mouth and ear to ear.

*a) What is "the secret" that survived? [so sad this caused GGG's death]*

*b) What is the significance of it being passed by hand, my mouth and by ear? [by ear is interesting]*

17) Then, it was my turn. I could have waited. I could have waited for you, or for you to have your own children. I could have ensured that only my lineage would bear the knowledge.

*a) Why only "my" lineage? [do other families "bear the knowledge?]*

18) But I decided to make things right. To follow the call. To end what was started.

*a) What did Dad do to "make things right"?*

*b) What is "the call"?*

*c) Why did Dad feel he needed to end what was started?*

19) I knew that it would be dangerous. I knew that they would try to destroy my reputation and my name.

*b) What are "reputation" and "name" separated?*

*c) Why would "they" try to destroy Dad's reputation and name?*

20) I didn't know that they would come for everything I loved.

*a) Are they coming for Wally and other things/people Dad loved?*

21) I'm not trying to make any excuses. This is what really happened.

*a) Why would Wally have a different version of the truth?*

22) Like the grandfather of my grandfather, I decided to gather a few like-minded brains and guide and provide them with what they needed.

*a) Who are the "like-minded brains" (LMB)?*

*b) What did the LMB's need?*

23) Yes, I used my position to access the power we needed. 59 computers, 6 days...

*a) What was Dad's position?*

*b) Where were the 59 computers?*

*c) When did the 6 days start and end?*

24) We succeeded, Wally! WE SUCCEEDED!

*a) What constitutes "success"?*

25) But our success was our downfall. I was very careful, but our enemies are so resourceful. They knew that they had to strike hard. Their own survival was in play.

*a) What is the "downfall" caused by the success?*

*b) What did Dad do that was "careful"?*

*b) Who are "our enemies"?*

*c) Why did enemies have to strike hard?*

*d) Why did Dad's success threaten his enemies survival?*

26) They forced me to leave.

*a) When did Dad leave?*

*b) Where did Dad go?*

27) I had to leave not because I was afraid to fight them, but because it was the only way to protect the secret.

*a) What is the secret?*

*a) Why say "your" vs. "our" ancestors?*

33) Without you, I'm nothing.

*a) Why is Dad "nothing" without Wally?*

34) Go ahead, my son. Retrace my tracks. Be careful and be brave. Trust your instincts, accumulate knowledge and share your trust only when your heart tells you to do so.

*a) Why "tracks" vs. "steps"? [link to prior clue of climbing steps]*

*b) Why only share "trust" when "heart" tells Wally? [vs. instincts or intellect]*

*c) What "knowledge" does Wally need to accumulate?*

*d) Why should Wally share "trust" vs. knowledge?*

35) The past is vast, but you must go back in time. Learn everything... and act.

*a) What does "the past is vast" mean?*

*b) How should Wally "go back in time"? [through documents and/or memories]*

*c) How should Wally "act" after he will "learn everything"?*

36) And never, NEVER forget the most important thing:

37) I love you. I always have and I always will.
