INTRIGUED BY WHY SENATOR Baily had been in touch, and knowing that one family owned quite a few of the parks in the area, Blayze headed back to Snow White’s Castle in Apopka. That was one park that was due to reopen their doors later that afternoon, and Blayze knew he didn’t have long to find some answers.

As he arrived and pressed the doorbell, the same doorman greeted him. This was a relief, as he was just the man Blayze wanted some answers from.

“Hello again,” said the old man. “Come on back in.”

Blayze walked in, noticing the silence.

“There’s just me here right now. The staff are not due back until we can reopen later, which I’m sure you’re aware of.”

“Yes, I know, and I’m sorry for the inconvenience. We had to close every park in certain areas to eliminate them from our investigation.”

“Well, I hope everything is cleared up now.”

“That’s why I’m here, really. Is there somewhere we could go for a chat?”

The old man looked confused as to what Blayze wanted with him, but agreed and led Blayze through a door which said ‘Staff Only’. As they entered, Blayze realized that this was the old man’s quarters he had mentioned on his last visit. He had taken him into his living room, which looked more like a library to Blayze as the walls were covered with shelves of books.

“Please take a seat. Would you like something to drink? I’ve just made a pot of tea.”

“I’m good, but thank you for asking. I just want to know a bit more about the park’s owners, the Sloan-Ironwoods, and what their connection with Senator Baily is.” Blayze sat forward in his chair as he watched the old man sip some of his tea, before sitting back in his.

“Well,” he started, “the families are related. Cousins, I think it is. The Ironwood family, who owned just two parks about twenty years ago, married into the Sloan family, which the Senator is from. It’s Mrs Sloan-Ironwood who is related to Senator Baily.”

“That makes sense now.”

“What do you mean?” the man asked inquisitively.

“Well. The only reason all the parks are reopening is that Senator Baily demanded them to be, after being asked by park owners who you have now told me are close family members.”

“Yes. The Ironwood family donated hugely to the Senator’s election many years ago, hence the marriage into the family.”

“So there are money ties too in all of this?”

“Aren’t there always? With quite a few of their parks closed right now, they are losing thousands of dollars every day, which they won’t be happy about.”

Blayze sat back in his chair, processing everything he had been told. After a few moments, he asked, “Is there anything else about the family you haven’t said?”

The old man took another sip of his tea. “I know little more, to be honest. We hardly see Mr and Mrs Sloan-Ironwood these days, and as for the Senator, I don’t think I’ve ever met him.”

Blayze stood, and briefly after, the old man did too.
