Short Story Of Adoption

My whole life I never really knew who my parents were. Well my birth parents. The people who adopted me were good to me, they tried to make sure that I would grow up respectfully and have a good job. Once I turned 10 they decided to tell me the truth that I was adopted. They were sorry that they didn't tell me sooner but I was never mad at them, I just wanted to meet my real parents, not so I can ask them what happened or anything like that just to see where I came from. My parents understood why I wanted to meet them so they decided to help me search for them, but we never really got serious about it until I was 14 years old. Since I am 4 years older than I used to be, I said that I can mostly do it on my own, but I would like a little help

Unfortunately my first step was a dead end. My parents had no clue what to do so that is were I decided to go on my own. Every day after school I would ride my bike to different places in the town to try to find any information even though I don't know where they live. One day when I was at the police station and they told me that they actually live in this town. Unfortunately they wouldn't give me an address to their house but they told me that their names were Julia and Randy Greyfield. I decided to ask around town to see if anybody knew about them, so eventually the town knew that I was trying to search for my parents. After asking people for about two weeks I figured that they no longer lived here and that I would have to start from square

On the last day of school i decided to ride my bike home when I spotted a house that was burned down and it wasn't for sale it looked pretty much abandoned. I asked my parents if I could use that house for my investigation instead of the office and that I could go there everyday while it's light out. After asking for about a week they finally gave in. The next day I decided that I should clean up the house. While I was cleaning though I found this picture under some ash and wood that showed a couple that looked like they were in their mid twenties. On the back side it said "Julia and Randy Greyfield, March 10 2002". "No way" I whispered. It was them! They were my birth parents on my birthday. They must've tooken the picture after I was born like right after. There was also a hidden note in the frame "It probably uncovered in the fire". The note was strange it read -To whoever finds this note, If you found this that must mean we are dead. We would like you to try to find our son so he can change everything. Find Alex. We don't know his last name but his birthday is on this picture. Tell him that he can find the secrets in plain sight. If he doesn't believe you show him this note.- " I can't find words for how awesome this is. they were talking about me! I need to make there wishes true but I don't think they are dead though. " The secrets are in plain sight. What could that possibly mean? I will figure it out
