The Secret of Chateau Bisclarvet. Pt 1.
This is a fake Halloween storyline.

Don't go too hard on me, it's a quickie right with out proper editing or grammar.

Part 1
Gaia Action 9 news, where Gaia gets it's news. Dedicated to reporting nothing but the most hard hitting stories, Ace reported Cindy Dohnovin was... not doing much.

It was a slow news month. Ever since the April 1st incident, the aftermath was a bit slow...
"At least the Gambino's are still around, maybe I'll have something to report on soon..."
she thought, fiddling with her pen. She gazed out at the late summer moon outside her news studio window. She hated working late on an announcement for the weekly newsletter.
"At least give me something interesting to write about," she wished, the Full Moon shining on her desk. "Anything at all. At least that way I wont have to waste my time on this."

With a quiet sigh, she went to the scanner to upload her newsletter. In the dim light of the scanner, one could see dark rings under her eyes from lack of sleep, with only the dull noise of the scanner to keep her company.
This night was just like all the others. Well, almost like all the others.
The monotony of the scanner was broken by the sound of rustling paper.

"What was that?!" Cindy turned around, her face growing pale. The window above her desk was open.
"Stupid window's broken." She muttered as she went to close the latch. Suddenly a strange package caught her eye.
"This wasn't here before..." she said picking it up. A hastily scrawled address on the cover read "Cindy Dohnovin, Gaia Action 9 News, 15 Barton place"
"It's addressed to me? When did this get here?" she looked around, but she was alone in the building. No one could have delivered it without walking past her as she scanned the news letter.

Looking around nervously, she opened the package. The contents weren't very Earth shattering. Inside lay some old photographs of a younger Gambino with two other men, apparently at the Gaian Halloween Ball, many years before the G-Corp incident.
Gambino looked Jovial as he held up a glass of wine to his two friends (or were they business partners?). To his left was an elderly man, dressed in a fancy tuxedo, with the Von Helson Family crest pinned onto his shirt. It didn't take a genius to figure out that was Count Vladmir Von Helson, the father of the infamous Von Helson twins. To Johnny's right stood a man Cindy didn't recognize. He was a scruffy looking gentleman, dressed in a pinstriped vest and dress shirt, a small pin in the shape of the moon stuck to his shirt.
"Who is that?" Cindy wondered as she examined the faded photo. The second photo showed Gambino with a young Gino, hugging him with surprising tenderness.
"Anything for a photo op..." murmured Cindy as she examined the photo.
She couldn't help but notice Gino's tiny Superhero Costume. Ironic in a way...
Next to him Count Von Helson with his two daughters, Marie and Ann Corinine. They looked as pretentious as they did before they died. Marie was dressed as a little witch, while Ann was in a Princess Costume. Once again, Ironic.

Finally the Unknown man stood next to a woman Cindy assumed was his wife, as they wore the same Pin. The Wife held three children nearby. The eldest was a Boy dressed in a Tuxedo, apparently too old to dress up. The middle child was a young girl in a flowing dress and fairy wings.
Finally, the woman held a small child in her arms, dressed as a werewolf.

"A very realistic werewolf too..." said Cindy as she looked at the photo. There was something strange about the eyes. They were so realistic... As if they could see her through the photo...
Feeling a bit creeped out, she returned the photos to the box. A Note was attached to the same pin worn by the man in the photos. In the same hasty scrawl it read: Gambino Knows... It said nothing else.

"This is really Creepy..." said cindy as she closed the package. "I guess I got my wish..."
Picking up the package and her G9 laptop, she began to head home, but couldn't shake the feeling those eyes gave her, like they were watching her.

If she only looked into the rafters, she would see that they were...

To Be continued... Maybe
