Ruby is eager to know what happened to her father, she was beginning to have bad feelings about her father's death.

She sat in her room, feeling a sense of dread wash over her. She had lost her father only a few weeks ago, and the more she thought about it, the more she became convinced that something was not right about his death. She had tried to push the thought aside, but it kept nagging at her, and she knew she needed to find out what really happened.

Father died not long ago but Uncle Max seemed to have gotten over it so fast and is even running his brother's house and business like he was the real owner.

Determined to get to the bottom of things, Ruby started doing some research. She went online and looked up news articles about her father's death, and even searched for any police reports or public records related to the incident. She found a few news articles that reported on her father's passing, but they all seemed to echo the same information that had already been given to the family.

Frustrated by her lack of progress, Ruby decided to reach out to her father's close friends and colleagues. She wanted to know if they had any information that could shed some light on what happened.

Ruby took a deep breath as she approached Carmen Rodriguez's front door. She had been nervous about this conversation for days, but she knew that she needed to talk to Carmen about what had happened. Carmen had been involved in the accident that had taken Ruby's father's life, and Ruby needed answers.

Carmen was surprised to see Ruby at his door at that hour of the night but he welcomed her inside. He had his own corner in the mansion which had the features a normal bachelor's house would have. As they sat down in the living room, Ruby began to explain why she was there.

"Carmen, I know this is hard, but I need to know what happened that day. My father's death has been weighing heavily on me, and I need some closure," Ruby said.

Carmen took a deep breath and nodded. "I understand, Ruby. I've been struggling with it too. That day was one of the worst of my life, and I'll never forget it."

Ruby listened intently as Carmen began to describe the accident. He explained that it was just a normal day like every other day, he and Don Antonio Martinez were returning from the political campaign which was held at the other end of the city. They were driving down the freeway when a truck suddenly swerved in front of them, causing them to swerve and crash into a guardrail.

"I remember feeling the impact, and then everything went black. When I woke up, I was in the hospital, and they told me that your father didn't make it," Carmen said, his voice cracking with emotion.

Ruby felt a lump forming in her throat as she listened to Carmen's account of what had happened. She had always known that her father's death had been the result of a tragic accident, but hearing the details of it made it all the more real.

"Do you think there was anything suspicious about the accident?" Ruby asked, her eyes fixed on Carmen.

Carmen shook his head. "No, I don't think so. It was just a terrible accident. There was no foul play involved if that's what you're asking."

Ruby nodded, feeling a sense of disappointment wash over her. She had hoped that Carmen would be able to provide her with some kind of clue or insight into what had really happened, but it seemed that there was nothing more to the story than what she already knew.

As Ruby made her way back to her room, she couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to her father's death than met the eye. She knew that she needed to keep digging if she was going to uncover the truth.

"I would never give up till I dig out the truth, they are yet to hear about Ruby Martinez," Ruby declared, she was determined to uncover the truth about what really happened to him, even if it meant digging up painful memories and facing danger along the way.

Over the next few days, Ruby continued to do her research. She scoured online forums and social media, looking for any clues or information that could help her piece together what had really happened to her father.

It was Thursday night precisely, Ruby had just left her sister's room to her own room. She switched on her laptop and began to browse. As she was scrolling through a local news website, something caught her eye. It was an article about a hit-and-run that had occurred just a few days before her father's accident. The article described a car matching the description of the truck that had caused her father's accident. There wasn't any detail about the person driving the truck but she immediately got an idea.

Ruby immediately thought about how she could hack into the street CCTV and see what really happened that day.
