"Why have you stopped?" asked the Mayor. The fog was beginning to get thick and he didn't want to go further inside. He regretted coming with Joshua and Doug. These two men were highly accomplished and Joshua had been closely associated with the party. He had a lot of political connections. That was one of the reasons he came with the Environmentalist. "Where are the rooms?"
Joshua's chest tightened and he opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. His mind froze and his knees were wobbly. He walked further inside. There were signboards but no rooms! He doubted his mind. Did he come in the right direction?
"Can you please take us to the building?" said Dawn. "I am getting very late for my meetings."
Both Doug and Joshua were confused as hell. "I think we have come in the wrong direction," said Joshua. His face was white like a ghost and his thin body was covered with sweat. He started to walk in the opposite direction.
"What do you mean we have come in the wrong direction?" the Mayor said with irritation. "If you have constructed the rooms, then you must have come here a number of times. Are you making a fool of me?"
"No!" Joshua gulped.
"Then if you don't show me the building, I will take this as a personal insult and then you will face my wrath!" The Mayor said in a menacing tone.
Joshua Barker had never ever been in a more perplexed situation in his life. He ran around in circles to find his building but there was nothing. Where were his animals? Where was the staff? What about Jenny? She used to be here after office and often even during the office hours. Doug had lent her services to him. Where was all his office equipment? There were special lenses and binoculars. He wanted to cry by the end of it. If he didn't show the building to the Mayor, all of it would come as a huge lie. It would also prove that the funds that he was taking from the Wyatt's would be seen as illegal. Not only that Dawn Silver might sue him for siphoning off funds from her Company for his personal interest because now there was nothing to prove that his project even existed. Joshua Barker felt he could faint.
As for Doug, he ran around with the Environmentalist but there were no signs of the building.
Dawn watched them nonchalantly, although on the inside she was thanking Daryn. Last night Daryn along with his team of werewolves had razed the rooms down and had cleared the entire area so neatly that not a trace of it was left. She had asked him to destroy every photo, every film and every video that was related to the fog and experiments. And Daryn did all that. She was sure that he must have used his powers. He was a powerful sorcerer.
When the two men once again came and stood in front of the Mayor, they were too exhausted.
Doug pointed to the left. He was panting. Shocked as hell, he said, "The rooms were standing right there, Sir! I don't know where they have gone."
The Mayor was beyond angry. The man lied to him. He wasted his precious time, and on top of that he made him look like a fool in front of the daughter-in-law of Gayle Silver. There was no way he could redeem his prestige in front of her now. She had an upper hand now.
"Do you mean that the building has vanished in thin air or that the ground has gobbled it up?" David smirked.
"I— I have its photographs to prove it!" said Joshua. He took his phone out and browsed through the pictures. After finding the relevant ones, he shoved it in David's face and said, "See here it is!"
David removed the phone from his face. "What do you mean? As far as I am concerned, these pictures could be of damn building!" said David with a surprised expression. "When I was the Chairman of Starfish Refineries, we were forced to give money to this eco-zone, which we did without fail, but I am shocked that the Wyatt's are still funding it. Doug shouldn't have allowed it. Once the refinery was shut down, the government froze all it's activities. Then why did Doug allow it to continue only funding this venture? For all I know this entire thing entails so many violations, I can't even count them!" He looked at the Mayor who was now ashen faced. It was like if the news even got out, he might have to quit the office because he was supporting something illegal.
"So what do you think, Sir?" asked Dawn, adding to his quagmire.
On a quick thought, he said, "Dawn, let's go and talk about this fiasco in my office over tea and snacks."
Dawn smiled very sweetly at him. Then she looked at Joshua and Doug. She said, "Thank you so much Sir, but I am getting too late for the meetings. Maybe next time. But what about funding the 'Go Green' project?"
"Oh! Consider it annihilated! This place is already developed," said the Mayor is a jarring voice. "But we need to talk about other things!" He really had to speak with her to remain silent.
"How about you come to the Silver Mansion for a chat? You can also meet my husband Daryn Silver there," she suggested.
"Sure!" he replied eagerly. "When do I come?" he asked, rubbing his palms.
"I will let you know as soon as possible," she replied.
"Okay!" he said.
Dawn left along with David. He did a fantastic job in swinging his axe on their faces. She was too pleased with him. Anne was a fool to have given up on a husband like David to have a sick woman like Helena. He deserved the position of being the Vice President of Finance.
The Mayor turned to look towards the two clowns who were standing behind him. When Dawn was out of earshot, he barked at them. "You bastards! Because of you I am now in the most terrible situation of my career." He stepped in front of Joshua and slapped his tight across the face.
The man staggered. He held his cheek as he stared at the Mayor with fear.
"Consider your career dead. From today no one will even talk about you. I will make sure that you will not be able to sit amongst your people. How could a renowned environmentalist like you reduce to something as disgusting as this? Where have you taken all the money you got from Wyatt's business? Tell me! Have you hoarded it?"
"No!" Joshua shook his head. He was trembling like a dry leaf.
As for Doug Langston—he was seen running after Dawn. However, Dawn left without speaking a word to him.
The Mayor left Joshua in the eco-zone and left. He ran after the Mayor but he was shoved away by the security. With no car, he had to walk back to the main city. It took them an hour to come to this place, he couldn't even imagine how much it would take him to reach back. He gripped his hair in his hands and sat down on the grass. A few meters in front of him was Doug looking as lost as he was.
