Mystery at Four leaf mansion | Inanimate Insanity fanfic

The arrival.

Fan was bored.

He solved any case given to him, anything that bumped into him he would solved it in less than a day. He solved easy cases for living, and when he wasn't doing that he just sat in his office, staring for a long time at the ceiling, searching the case, that one case that could bring back the passion that he felt for his job.

That passion was lost, long time ago.

Fan was doing it again, he was sitting in his office, staring at the ceiling, didn't really wanna keep doing that for much longer, when he heard someone knocking the front door. He went and opened the door. No one was there. He looked down and saw an old looking, white envelope. He grabbed it, quickly inspected it and then he closed the door. He sat on his office chair, again, and gently opened the envelope. He found himself with a letter, probably just another simple case, he thought to himself, he started reading.

"Detective Fan:

I've heard of you, and your incredible skills, and I must say that i need them more than ever. Four leaf mansion is under strange circumstances, I feel watched. There's weird shadows and sounds, footsteps that follow me everywhere I go. I'm too afraid to go outside. This isn't just me, because my butler, Mepad, also hears and sees the same things that I'm writing here. I'm quite sure that there's something or someone doing this. I hope you can come soon.

Sincerely: Lady Clover"

Fan flipped the paper, on the other side of the letter there was indications: A date and a place. Maybe this was the case that he was searching, he thought, then he remembered all the times he thought the same exact thing...

He checked his schedule and made up his mind.

If this wasn't the case he was looking for.

This one was gonna be his last one.

Fan arrived to the location written in the letter "some minutes" earlier, just to freely analyze everything. It was cold and foggy, he was in front of a big, elegant iron gate, surrounded with walls of bushes. He didn't expected to find someone waiting him an hour before the time agreed.

- Well, welcome mister Fan, you're a bit earlier than expected.- The rectangular object said calmly.- My name is Mepad, and I'm lady Clover's, and Four leaf mansion's personal butler. Please, let me guide you where she is.

- Thank you.- Fan founded this more than weird. It seemed like the butler didn't wanted him to look anything at all.

The butler opened the gate and waited for the detective to enter. Then the loud sound of the now closed gate echoed around. In front of their eyes was a giant maze made out of bushes, that couldn't be seen from the outside. Mepad walked through the maze, Fan followed. The butler was walking towards without looking back or sideways, in one of the intersections Fan saw a weird, object shaped, shadow.

- Have you noticed it yet? Mr. Fan?

How did he knew what he just saw? Fan thought to himself.- Yes I did.- Fan shortly answered.

They walked in silence until they arrived to the masion's front door. How did the butler memorized the hole maze? It was too big and long for someone to just remember it. Well he didn't have time to think that because the second they arrived Mepad was already waiting for him to enter the mansion.

- You see... Four leaf mansion was known for being the place for very unfortunate events...- The butler guided him around the mansion. It was well lighted, elegant, full of chandeliers, expensive furniture, paintings and bookshelves.-Well that changed when Lady Clover arrived. She brought back the shine this mansion lost. I'm afraid this can be end of this lucky era.

When Mepad ended they were in front of a white, tall door, with a golden doorknob. The butler knocked the door.

- Come in!.- A sweet, feminine voice kindly answered.

The butler opened the door.- Our guest has arrived earlier than expected.

- Mr. Fan?- The lady asked standing up from her red velvet sofa. Beside other object looked at the detective.

- At your service my lady.- Fan greeted her with a slight bow.

The room was rectangular and located in the first floor, the walls were upholstered, and one of them had a picture window that covered almost the whole wall. It had some bookshelves, two seats and the red velvet sofa. It also had a piano and a little table, that had a tray with some teacups on it.

- I'm so thankful that you came here! As you may think, I'm Lady Clover owner of this mansion and this is Taco, my neighbor.

- Greetings.- Taco saluted.

Taco whispered something into Clover's ears.

- Oh! Right... Mepad! Can you please bring us more tea?

- Of course my lady.- The butler grabbed the tray and exited the room.
