Happy Reading.

Chapter 7:
Blue sky, no wind and almost beautiful sunshine. One of the most exquisite view for human eyes. But the humans didn’t look happy. Mac Meyer had arrived at Ashville. The whole city was mourning for their beloved leader. The kids of the city weren’t in a joyous mood either. Despite of knowing everything Mac asked “What happened here? Why does everyone look downcast?” to a passerby. “You don’t sound like you are from Ashville. Our Mayor passed away yesterday. He was a good man.” he replied. “Oh! I presume he was a great man.” said Mac. “Yes, he was. He worked only for the citizens of his land. Never did he take any decisions without his people’s opinion about it. Just a week before he left us, he stood against the mayor of Ballegro city who wanted both cities to be merged. He always stood by us. But he probably had few problems which he didn’t share with anyone.” “I see. May his soul rest in peace.” said Mac and headed towards the Mayor’s mansion.

There was a knock on the door. Freddie went towards the door to attend it. He opened the door and asked “May I know why you’re here?” It was Mac Meyer on the other end. “Do you work for the Williams?” he asked in return. “Yes.” He replied. “I’d like to talk to you for few minutes in private.” Said Mac. Freddie who didn’t know Mac declined to move. “I’m the detective Mr. Johnathan Williams hired.” After listening to that Freddie agreed to talk in Private. “So, how long have you known the Williams for? You look like you’ve worked here for long time.” Asked Mac. “Yes sir. I know the Williams family from past 40 years. I know the brothers since their childhood. They were so close back then.” “Back then?” asked Mac. “I mean to say they’re too busy these days. Not as close as those days.” “Was there any fight between those two recently?” asked Mac. “Nothing like that sir. But John didn’t like the recent behavior of Clyde as he was less attentive towards his kids.” “Oh Freddie! Here you are. I was looking for you everywhere. And you must be Mac Meyer! Uncle John told me about you.” “Ronald Williams ain’t you? What are you doing here?” “I came here to ask Freddie to go and check Zoey’s room as she was complaining about some water leakage.” Said Ronnie. “Did she ask you to come and inform?” “You’re a true detective. Yes, she did.” said Ronnie with a smile on his face. “I’ll go check it master.” Said Freddie and went inside the mansion. “Where were you on the day of the incident?” asked Mac to Ronnie. “I was at the state-wide Science fest in Rketnoa. My father had dropped me there. I know you’ll ask if I have any proof.” “Indeed, I will. Just to know its fact and not fiction. That’s my job.” Replied Mac. Ronnie directed Mac to his room. He showed him the certificate of participation. “You really are a genius. What was your project about?” asked Mac. “It was about a plant tranquilizer to reduce stress in plants and boost its growth rate.” Replied Ronnie. “Do you trust uncle John?” asked Mac. “Sorry What?” asked Ronnie in return. Mac asked the same question again. Ronnie said “Uncle John is really good guy. I doubt the mayor of Ballegro. He had called my dad the day before the fest.” Answered Ronnie. “Any close friends of your father?” asked Mac. “Mr. Raymond is his friend since childhood.” replied Ronnie. “Give me his address.” Said Mac. Ronnie gave him the address.
