Chapter 37

When Gary stepped out of Mr. Robert's house and bombed into someone.

"Leonard?...." Gary said in a shocked state.

"Yes.... It's me" Mr. Leonard replied with a friendly smile.

How could this be? This man should be dead by now, already rotting in his grave. No this should be an illusion?.... Gary was immobile for some minutes.

"It's been a while" Mr. Leonard said making Gary snap out of hisdazed state.

"Mr. Leonard... How..." Gary was Still recovering from the shock and couldn't finish his statement.

"Surprised huh?... Come with me, there are somethings you need to know" Mr. Leonard said and walked back to his car.

Gary stood still for a while contemplating on whether to follow him or not. Gary was so lost in thought that he subconsciously followed Mr. Leonard.

"Get in" Mr. Leonard told Gary while he also got into the car... Gary did as he was told and Mr. Leonard took them to a cafe.

"What would you like to have?" Mr. Leonard asked with a friendly smile.

"Anything is ok..." Gary replied trying so hard to sound calm. Mr. Leonard only chuckle at him.

"Coffee please..." Mr. Leonard ordered when the waiter came.

"So... Gary, I will like to ask you some questions before telling you what you need to know" Mr. Leonard said.

"What questions?" Gary asked.

"Why did you do it?" Mr. Leonard asked.

Gary:"...."

"I mean Liam.... Why did you stab him?" Mr. Leonard asked calmly.

"Uhmmm... I... Liam..." Gary couldn't find the right words to say.

"Calm down Gary... Talk to me like you used to do years back...." Mr. Leonard said.

"Leonard, I'm sorry but the Williams family have to pay for everything" Gary said.

"Everything?..." Leonard asked confused.

"Stop pretending Leonard... You know that your brother killed my mom and two sisters... Leaving alone in this world" Gary said with teary eyes.

"And what makes you think he did that?" Leonard asked.

"It's obvious, he was the only person there when I came. And the look on hia face..." Gary didn't finish his statement because he almost broke down.

"Now let me ask you this" Mr. Leonard said and pause as the waiter served them.

"How can the same man who killed your entire family decide to investigate the murder case?" Mr. Leonard asked.

"To look innocent" Gary replied coldly.

"Then was he assassinated in the course of the investigation?" Mr. Leonard asked.

Gary:"...."

"Well Gary... The truth is in here" Mr. Leonard said dropping a flash drive on the table.

"Truth...?" Gary was confused.

"Yes Gary..." Mr. Leonard replied and stood up.

"Good night...." He added and then left.

...

"Mom, You still don't give a damn about where Liam is?" Gabriella asked.

"Oh please Gabriella... Forget about him he will be back" Laura replied. At that moment two people stepped into the house.

"Liam... Oh my God, what happened?" Laura asked with a surprised look.

"None of your business...." Liam replied and went to his room.

"Whatever,... I don't have time for your stubbornness right now" Laura said.

"What kind of mother are you? Your child was away for two weeks and you don't give a damn" Mr. Leonard scolded.

"Spare the trash Leonard... Good night..." Laura replied and went to her room.
