"We've got a clue." Avery walked into the library. Jameson on her tail.

Grayson and I were sat in one of the nooks of the library, reading different documents for the foundation.

"Can it wait?" Grayson asked.

"No, it cannot." Jameson informed and sat down across from us.

"What is it?" Grayson sighed, as the couple threw their files onto the table.

"Organised." I said sarcastically. Their papers were a mess, notes everywhere and none of it was sorted.

"If you ignore that,", Avery said impatiently, "you'll see that the one hint in Toby's room was 'True North'. You have a winter cabin called 'True North'."

"Really in Texas?" I questioned confused.

"In Colorado." Avery corrected, as my mouth made an 'oh' shape.

"We can't leave the house for more than a day." I said annoyed, as Avery shrugged.

"We fly around 9pm get there around 11pm. We'll have till the next night to be back." Avery explained.

"And if we don't find what we need whilst you're both there, I'll stay longer with Grayson." Jameson explained what they had planned.

"Alisa'll never let us. It's a security risk." I sighed and rubbed my temple. Though Grayson had another thought.

"It's all about how you sell it." He stated.

"And how would you sell: Please get me to Colorado, I know it's a security risk but maybe something important is there." I looked at him. Grayson just smirked.

"You either don't sell it like you just did or... you sell it as the perfect opportunity to get paparazzi photos." Grayson grinned.

"You're not saying.." I looked at him wide eyed.

"I'm saying it's time we go public." Grayson triumphed, as I looked at him like he was mad. Because he was, though it was the only way to get us to True North.

"You okay?" Grayson leaned down, whispering the words into my ear, as we boarded the plane.

"As okay as I'll ever be." I muttered quietly. Grayson had his camera on him. He said True North would also be the perfect opportunity to take photos for my account, whilst also creating
opportunities for the paparazzi to take photos of us together.

"If you don't want to do it, we can turn back." He grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.

I shook my head, as we followed Avery and Jameson onto the large jet. We were the last two to board. It was a humongous family trip. Everyone was present, all four Hawthorne brothers, Maxine, Libby, Avery and myself, Alisa, Oren and John's team, Rebecca and Thea

"Alright." Grayson squeezed my hand again, as we entered the jet.

I sat myself down next to Grayson, as we sat across of Nash and Libby. Jameson, Xander, Max and Avery were in a four person seat and Thea and Rebecca were sat in their four person seat further up.
