Investigation - William EverettDaniel: (Glancing up) “Thank you for agreeing to speak with me, Mr. Everett. I understand you’ve been with the Donovan family for quite some time.”
William: (Nods) “Nearly thirty years, Mr. Hunt. I’ve served this household since before James and Sarah were born.”
Daniel: “Thirty years is a long time. You must know the family better than anyone.”
William: (Smoothly) “My role is to ensure the household runs smoothly and the family’s privacy is respected. I observe, yes, but only insofar as it pertains to my duties.”
Daniel: “And yet, I imagine you’ve seen your share of conflicts within these walls.”
William: (Pauses, choosing his words carefully) “Every family has its disagreements, Mr. Hunt. The Donovans are no exception, though they are... more passionate than most.”
Daniel: “Passionate enough for things to turn violent?”
William: (His expression doesn’t change) “I wouldn’t presume to speculate. My focus is always on diffusing tension, not escalating it.”
Daniel: (Stepping closer) “Were there tensions the night James died?”
William: (Hesitates, then nods) “There was a heated exchange during dinner. Mr. James was in rare form, I’m afraid. He seemed... frustrated.”
Daniel: “Frustrated with whom?”
William: (Glances at the floor briefly, then back at Daniel) “There were words exchanged between Mr. James and Miss Sarah, though I didn’t catch the specifics. Later, I saw Mr. Maxwell Carter speaking with him in the study. That, too, seemed tense.”
Daniel: (Leaning forward slightly) “Did you overhear any of their conversation?”
William: “No, sir. I don’t eavesdrop. But when Mr. Carter left, he appeared... agitated.”
Daniel: “Agitated how?”
William: (Pauses, carefully phrasing his response) “He was pacing in the hallway, muttering to himself. I offered to escort him to his car, but he waved me off.”
Daniel: “And what about you? Where were you after that?”
William: “I spent most of the evening ensuring the other guests were comfortable. Mrs. Graves requested tea in the sunroom, and I delivered a tray to Miss Sarah in her room. I retired shortly before midnight.”
Daniel: “Did you see or hear anything unusual after that?”
William: (Shakes his head) “No, sir. The house was quiet when I retired. It wasn’t until the morning that I was informed of Mr. James’s... passing.”
Daniel: “You’ve worked here long enough to understand the dynamics of this household. Do you believe anyone in this family could have done this?”
William: (His expression tightens ever so slightly) “It is not my place to pass judgment, Mr. Hunt. But I will say this: strong emotions can drive people to act in ways they might later regret.”
Daniel: (Watching him closely) “You sound as though you’ve seen something like this before.”
William: (A faint smile) “I’ve been in service for three decades, sir. One learns to anticipate the storms before they arrive.”
Daniel: “And yet you didn’t anticipate this one?”
William: (His smile fades, and he looks Daniel squarely in the eye) “No one could have anticipated this, Mr. Hunt. Mr. James had his flaws, but I never imagined this would be his fate.”
Daniel: “Thank you, Mr. Everett. If anything else comes to mind, you know where to find me.”
William: (Bows slightly) “Of course, sir. I only wish I could be of more help.”
Daniel: (Nods, closing his notepad) “You’ve been more helpful than you realize.”
William: (Straightens, his expression unreadable) “If I may, Mr. Hunt... I hope you find the answers you’re looking for. Mr. James may have made enemies, but he was still a Donovan. That alone makes him worth remembering.”
Daniel: (Turning to leave, his tone thoughtful) “Every detail helps, Mr. Everett. Sometimes the smallest ones tell the biggest stories.”
