I was sick those days.

"Jeebus would say that Gambino is busy right now, and can't see you"
"Aren't you Jeebus?" said Cindy, slightly confused.
"Yes, and I say that, OOOF JEEBUS!!!" the Butler was cut off by the sudden introduction of the newsreporter's foot into his groin.
"I say that you can come in..." He said, his voice a few octaves higher.
"Thank you." said Cindy with a grin as she entered the Durem Mansion.
No one, not even Jeebus, would get in the way of her story.
The Mansion was being decorated by the Mansion's staff, Jack o' lanterns and streamers were being placed on the walls.
"Put that Sculpture over there," a voice from the top of the stairs boomed, "Halloween's in a few weeks, and I want it to be the best party yet!".
Cindy had done enough stories on him to recognize the most powerful man in Gaia.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gambino, can I ask you a few questions?" she called out.
Gambino looked down from the landing he stood upon.
"Oh, yes. You're that news Reporter. Mindy Dolphin."
"It's Cindy Dohnovin sir."
"Yes, yes, whatever. Anything for my adoring fans." He walked down to ground level. "Now what did you want to ask me about? My love life? My new party?"
"Actually, I wanted to know who was in this photo." said Cindy, pulling out the photos of the three families.
Gambino's face grew pale when he saw the photo.
"Where did you get this?" he asked, snatching the photo from Cindy's hands.
"That's not important." said Cindy, hiding the fact that she didn't even know herself. "I want to know who that family in the photo with you and the Von Helsons are."
Gambino shoved the photo back into her hands. "I don't know where you got this photo, but you will never speak of this again, got it?" He said angrily.
Cindy simply nodded.
"Jeebus, show our guest to the door!"
"Father, what are you doing?"
'Saved by the bish...' thought Cindy, with a sigh of relief.
"Father, you aren't kicking Ms. Dohnovin out are you?" said Gino Gambino, walking down the stairs. "She's probably here to hear about our party! Come on, I'll show you around."
The heir to the Gambino fortune took Cindy by the arm and walked to the ballroom. "Father said I should be more outgoing to the press, so I'll show you around. We're holding our party in durem this year, and..."
"I'm sorry to interrupt sir, but do you know anything about this photo?"
she said, handing the picture to Gino.
The young prince, slightly annoyed at being interrupted, examined the photo.
"Hey! This is Uncle Henry!" he said, his eyes lighting up.
"Uncle Henry?" asked Cindy, slightly confused.
"Well, he wasn't really my Uncle. You know him as Lord Henry and Lad Margret of the Bisclarvet Family. And look, their kids are there too! Prism, Sphere, and Little Cube!" he said with nostalgia, gesturing to the the the Children. Prism was apparently the uncostumed one, and Sphere must have been the Young Girl.
"Interesting Names..." said Cindy.
"Auntie Meg loved shapes." said Gino with a shrug.
"I haven't seen them since they're manor burned down, all those years ago..."
"So these people are dead?" asked Cindy.
"As far as I know. No bodies were found. I'm surprised you don't know about this. It's in most of the history books..."
Cindy hadn't thought to check a history book. She Blushed a bit as she thanked the Young Gambino for his time.
'So these people knew Gambino..." thought Cindy. 'And their Manor was destroyed. Gambino couldn't have anything to do with it... could he?'
