Quick Note: This one is going to be really bad...namely becaseu I
haven't be refamiliarized with Dr. Zin.

Understanding the Letter:
	To understand this letter you must understand a bit about Dr. Li Zin
and his business and personal life.  In reality the man led/leads a
double life; not many men can be a father and an international
terrorist but Dr. Zin pulls it off.  Before the death/murder of Rachel
Quest Dr. Zin had been living with his wife (Cyrene) and his two twin
daughters (Anaya and Milana).  Although the question of love for
Cyrene was a common topic between the couple, love for the two girls
was always given.  A quick note that the word ‘love’ is a loose term,
meaning concern and care not to much affection.  Dr. Zin and his
daughters are extremely proud of their heritage, while his wife Cyrene
was less enthusiastic.  
	One unstated rule which Dr. Li Zin made was to never bring his work
home with him.

Cherished Cyrene,

	Undoubtedly you have been informed of the death of Dr. Benton Quest’s
wife, Rachel and thus are aware of the accusations towards me.  These
accusations are true but the only reason why I freely admit to this is
because to deny it would be to deny myself.  I fear for what I have
done.  Although there has never been extreme love between us, I have
always confided to you about my life without giving you specifics. 
That has just changed.  I have received a dream and have a feeling
that this death will haunt me for the rest of my life.  As I left
South America, I saw the eyes of the grieving family and saw the need
within them.  The eyes of Dr. Quest were as dark as the night and I do
not know how the boy will react when he realizes what I have taken
from him.
	I need for you to do something for me.  Take care of our girls. 
Because of the current situation I am forced to leave you all.  I will
remain in the lives of the girls…but I cannot stay in this
relationship for the sake of the girls and yourself.  In a few days a
messenger will bring three envelopes.  One will contain divorce
papers; sign them…don’t think about it.  The second will contain three
plane tickets; pack tonight and get on the plane immediately.  The
final envelope will contain a small fortune which will keep you all
safe and I will continue to send funding for you all.
	The committee has decided to separate and I think that many are going
to stop all communication.  This means that I shall be in charge of
all groups associated with world domination.  Remember one thing about
the Quests, they do not know that you exist; nor the girls—make sure
it stays that way.  I fear that this is only the beginning of Dr.
Quest’s Quest and that is surely going to make trouble for me.

					Always the Zin Dragon,
					Li Zin

After the Letter:
	Just as Dr. Zin had said the envelopes came and Cyrene kept all the
secrets she knew.  The family of three—Cyrene and the two girls did as
they were instructed and basically stayed low until Dr. Zin felt the
girls were old enough to join him.  Dr. Zin had arranged for their
permanent files to be erased and for their lives to be cleared out
completely.  

Notes:  In this letter Dr. Zin may sound …demanding, but then again
that is his character.  I my humble opinion, I do think Dr. Zin had a
secure marriage, but it was a connivance marriage and not a love
marriage.  Cyrene was able to get power and money which she will and
has used for her own benefit and Zin got his succession.
