## Relationships

### Emma Collazo

She is Mayor McDonald's secretary, though not much else is known about their relationship.

### The Mayor's Office

* Kennedy Sinclair

Upon arriving at the Mayor's office, Kennedy met Emma Collazo, the mayor's secretary. Kennedy managed to squeeze in for a quick appointment with the Mayor, under the guise of being a Women's and Gender Studies major writing a report. While talking to the Mayor, Kennedy isn't sure what to make of a lot of the Mayor's answers. Mayor McDonald explained that she is the first politician in her family, has always been ambitious, and, when asked about her predecessor, said that he was unwilling to accept the "change" (gentrification) occurring in Wheldrake. Mayor McDonald ran on a platform of easement for small businesses, allowing them subsidies and tax breaks within their first few years, and claimed this has resulted in a much widened tax base. She further claimed that she and Isla Yi are close friends, and that they have often had to work together. Before leaving, the Mayor told Kennedy there were internships available. When asked, Emma explained that the internship application is rather extensive, and Kennedy would not have much time to complete it. However, Emma gave Kennedy both her own and Mayor McDonald's contact information, and wished her well.

### Wheldrake City Hall, at Night

* Cornelius Rockefeller
* Kennedy Sinclair
* Wallace Franklin

In preparation to break into City Hall, Kennedy left a window open for them to sneak through. However, upon arrival, they discovered it had been closed. Ken's backup plan was to then convince a guard to let her in, while Wally and Neels hid. Neels failed to hide, but Kennedy was still granted access to the building. She texted them about a back entrance they could sneak through, and after a series of... mishaps... they ended up having to bribe the guard to get access to the building (with a crisp hundy, of course). They were given thirty minutes to roam City Hall, and they began with Mayor McDonald's office. Neels managed to break in with a single paperclip, and once inside, they started the snooping. Wally found a rather suspicious indent in the wall, and inside was a plastic bag, full to the brim with papers. Almost immediately, Wally was able to tell what they were: police reports from 1968, about the disappearances of Devin Walker and Margaret Waterman. After that, they found nothing else, and left with (hopefully) no trouble.
