I was still staring at the picture not saying a word.
"Gabby are you alright?" Savannah said.
"My parents knew my mother." I said with tears in my eyes.
"Yes they did. There are more pictures in here of all four of them together and of your two moms because they were best friends." Jack said. He turned the page to show more pictures of them. First is the picture of my two moms standing back to back, and my dad and his brother together.
"They have almost the entire back pages dedicated to them because they were well liked and popular." Jack said.
"Let me guess Hale hated them." I said.
"I don't think so. Your father, brother, and Hale were on the football team together." Jack said.
"That doesn't mean anything. You could still be on the same team and not like somebody." Donovan said.
"He liked by mom I guess. He's the only one with the initials of M.H. He also could have sent her a white rose three days before she died." I said.
"Marcus keeps white roses in his office." Nathaniel said.
"Are we saying what we are actually saying. Are we saying the mayor is a murderer? I mean someone else might also like white roses." Donovan said.
"It's looking more and more like it." Spencer said.
"I need to speak with my grandfather maybe he can remember seeing a white rose before grandmother died." I said. I was looking at the picture of my mother and Maximilian together. They seemed happy together were they still together after high school or did they break up I wonder.
"Guys we have to keep quiet about this. Know one can find out what we are up too and Gabriella, you have to be careful while you're finding answers. If the mayor is watching you then you must do everything in secret." Emily said.
"Then how do I see my grandfather. Nathaniel took me the first time." I said looking at Nathaniel.
"Then someone else has to take you." Emily said.
"What about a decoy. Have someone dressed as Gabriella go one place but the real Gabriella go see her grandfather." Jack said. Everyone looked at him.
"What?" He said.
"That's not going to work. Where would we find a decoy?Plus I think Hale has somebody working in the prison for him ." Nathaniel said.
"I can talk to my grandfather about that. One of the guards still have respect for him. He might have respect from the other prisoners he could probably sniff them out." I said.
"So when are we going to do this. In 5 days it will be your birthday and we still have to get ready." Savannah said.
"How about we take a break from this and focus on the party. Savannah do you have all the decorations." Spencer said.
"Oh yeah I have enough gold,silver,and black. It's taken up my room, the dining room, living room, and garage." Savannah said.
"Wait so are we dressing up for this party." Nathaniel asked.
"Yes, the men wear black tux." I said. Emily put the yearbooks back.
So my mother knew the Blackwoods and was going out with the oldest son. I wonder if my mother was heartbroken when he died.
"He must have been the love of her life." I said to nobody in particular.
"Umm Gabriella do you know your birth father? Has your mom ever had a picture of him?" Spencer asked.
