His best friend Jack was missing. April was very upset especially since the state police weren't doing anything much about it. Once Barbara heard abou... it she insisted that both of them go to April. A cab, train and cab again found them at Jack and April's home.Before the door was fully open April jumped into Barbara's embrace. She cried for ten minutes before Barbara could calm her down."He's never, ever gone off before. It's so not like Jack. Something's wrong Barb, I know he would never. They presented their idea to me. Not surprisingly, I was the surprise. For the five days they would be staying here, I was asked to treat them with the same regard that I did to Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin. So, as I stood at the front door welcoming them, I was dressed in a manner appropriate for me in the Baldwin home. I was dressed in black high heels, sheer black thigh-high stockings, tiny lace thong, and lace shelf-bra. The thong was a last-minute addition. Mrs. Baldwin thought my normal. Elaine simply chose not to. ‘It’s a shame Elaine’s out-of-bounds, she’s gorgeous’ Stan thought, then caught himself – really, with Anne standing next to him even! Feeling a little guilty, Stan put his right arm around Anne, who took it and squeezed it. Elaine grinned at the pair. Just then Denise walked through. She saw Stan with his arm around the tall blonde, and her face fell. She looked daggers at Anne for a moment, looked away from them both with a huff and stalked out. Stan began to move. "Wow," said Beth, looking over his shoulder. It was even more impressive then she had imagined. The entry hall was huge with a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a big staircase winding up the far wall.As they entered the mansion, they both jumped as a loud "dong" echoed throughout the house. A magnificent grandfather clock dominated the Southern wall of the foyer and was chiming eight o'clock. To the left of the old clock hung an old painting of a stern faced young couple in late.
