It didn't take long for the guests to slowly leave. Something told Cedric that the mayor had in fact asked them to leave rather than letting the party die down on its own.
In the end the only people left were the mayor's family and Cedric and his people.
When the last of the guests had left the mayor invited Cedric to have a private discussion with him in his office.
"Dave." Cedric called out, to which his assistant quickly appeared behind him.
Dave already knew what Cedric needed and had placed one of his secret voice recorders in an unknown location on his person.
"Mr. Reyes, I hope you don't mind, but our conversation needs to be confidential. I will allow your assistant to join us, but both you and he must leave all electronic devices out here." The mayor said before they headed to his office.
"Ian will hold them for us." Cedric informed the mayor as he waved for Ian to come over.
