"So, where do we start?"
"I'm not sure..."
"How about this, Thomas, Tommy, fluffy hair, what Mrs. David doing in the morning, do you know?"
"Please don't call me that. My mom was working on a project for a company she worked at called Bergamot."
"What did they do there?"
"they build new devices, modern technology that hasn't been seen before."
"Do you happen to know the project she was working on? If she had any enemies, was she dating anyone?"
"First, yes, the project was called Crown. It was ninth-grade security. It was to be the world's most expensive and safe secured security system for houses, skyscrapers, or for whatever was deemed needed to be "safe." Second, my mother was loved by everyone. No one had it out for her, but I may not know everything. As I said, something happened in that alleyway, and my mother never harmed herself. Third, no one I know of, yet I think someone liked her at her place of the job he deemed he "loved her," but I can't be sure, never met the man, but my mother never allowed that relationship with him. I think his name was Bergan Hills."
"Ok, so we got at least two points we can take from, so she was working on something that can make billions, or even millions. Then we have, I guess, Bergan, who you believe in having had romantic feelings involved-"
"Pretty sure that's not a reason to kill my mother. He told her straight that he "loves her," why would he kill her-"
"Poor naive, Fluffy. When love and psychos mix, those crazy-minded people could have abandonment issues. They do things others don't understand, mostly because they are psychopaths, of course, and have something twisted in their heads. Maybe when your mother rejected his feelings because she didn't want that kind of relationship, it hurt him to the point he hated seeing her every day because he loved her, but she would never return the "feelings." He couldn't expect it, so he used his twisted mind."
"I see now. Should we go talk to him?"
"Nah. Of course. It's a lead, Tommy."
"Tommy...I like that."
"Don't get used to it. George!"
The three "detectives" were looking into records trying to find Bergan Hills. "There we go, Bergan Hills, 39 years of age, works as a janitor at Bergmot's Company for Technological Advances-" states George before his seat was side moved because of María. "Let's crash a company," María said smugly, "Let's what no-"
-half an hour later-
"Wow...so this is a huge company."
"I said every project is worth millions or billions. They make millions-"
"How rich are you, Mate?"
"..."
María then stepped into the double glass doors and Thomas to speak to the one at the set registration desk. Píthos was looking around the building, trying to catch everything she may not have turned to look at. Thanks to her gift, she can go back to the company to find clues in the lobby case, yet in her mind.
"Hi there Miss-" Thomas paused a moment to look at her silver name tag, "Miss Mary, we were wondering what our mate, the janitor, Mr-"
"Oh..that plonker, what about him, also sorry no offense but if you two are his friends...you understand. So yeah what about him?"
"...none was taken, may we speak with him?"
"Sorry we don't allow others to disturb the work, but I can tell you when he is available to talk to."
"Yeah, no problem, thank you," finished off Píthos.
As they were walking out a man about 33 who was around Thomas' mother's age, who was wearing a suit grabbed Thomas and pulled him to the side, thus causing Píthos to kick him in the knee while the man groaned for a couple of seconds Píthos attempted to (note the word attempted) to grab Thomas and practically yank him back, the man then said "wait, I just want to speak to you about Mrs. David, I recognize you as her son I mean no harm, son-"
"How do you know my mother?"
"May we please speak alone. Away from your girlfriend kicker too please?"
"Yeah don't call me that and no, we are trying to solve something big here and-"
"You both figured someone took her life haven't you," the man practically mumbled enough for only Píthos and Thomas to hear, George remained outside waiting for the eighteen and seveteen-year-olds to walk out. "We do but...how do you know my mo-" the man then softly put his hand on both Ria and Thomas and tried to walk them out, George wondering who the man was walked up to them.
"Can we talk privately sir?"
"Pithos and Thomas do you allow this, after all, I'm supposed to watch yo-"
"We got this."
"Ok. Then I'll be waiting by the steps..."
Once they ended up near a tree not too far away from George so he could keep an eye on them, but just enough so that others don't hear and they weren't near the company. "My name is Anthony Hallmark. Lily, your mother and I had a romantic relationship, I am sorry you had to meet me this way. I miss your mother more than everything, I was going to propose to her in two days until I heard about her death...ruled a suicide I never believed it, she never took drugs. She loved you...her son she said to me 'My son means more than anything, I'm sorry but if you are to treat him and me the way my ex-husband did...just promise me, you love me and would never do anything, but to have a happy family that's what I promised her, but our love would ruin the company so we took it slow. Lilly was so proud of you Thomas and I'm here for you when you need it. I am the CEO of the Bergamot Company, my wife died in a plane crash decades ago, I and my father remained in a strong relationship so when he died he handed over his will to me, and thanks to my father-in-law, I met your mother."
