Chapter 4

     That stupid alarm clock starting going off long before I was ready to
get up. Both Tom and I were awake now and decided to hit the shower, while
I was still here to help.
     "Thanks John for taking such good care of me. I guess you know, If I
had to have Sarah or Judy help bath me, I would be one stinky person before
I could do it by myself."
     "No, I don't think so. Both of them would gang up on you, drag you out
in the yard and use the hose on you and you would have to wear wet clothes
until they dried or I came home which ever came first. So you had just
better be nice to me or I will turn them loose on you. Aunt Mary would
probably help them." I said laughing. Tom was beet red.
     "John you wouldn't would you?"
     "No, I would never do anything like that. I would do worse. I would go
downtown and hire a couple of the lady wrestlers and have them come in to
shower you.....Three times a day!" By now, we were roaring with laughter.
     We went to the kitchen still laughing. "Just what is so funny. You
might as well tell us so we can get our jollies also." Said Aunt Mary.
     "I really don't think you want to know. Tom would leave and never come
back or maybe he would just shoot me." John laughed ever harder.
     "You know, I could tell you stories about Tom. I have known him ever
since he was a baby and I even have some pictures that I am saving to show
his girl friend. He was always so cute when he was running around nude."
Teased Aunt Mary.
     "I might just trade you stories after all. This sound really
interesting." I replied.  Tom was so red he looking like he had 3rd degree
sunburn.
     "Aunt Mary what would you do if I decided to run around nude now. If
fact I think I will! John would you help me get undressed?"
     "Tom, wait just one minute. Sarah and Judy run and get your
cameras. We need some more pictures to show his girl friend." Aunt Mary
said trying to stifle her laughter.
     "I think I had better finish eating and get to office before we get a
riot started here." I said.
     "It looks like this old house won't be stuffy anymore. Life has come
back to it." Commented Sarah.
     I left for the office. Sarah and Judy had agreed to take Tom and Aunt
Mary to the hospital.
     I had barely reached the office when I received a phone call from the
Police Chief. Mr. Hunter still had not been found. The Chief had obtained a
search warrant so they could go into the house. From all appearances, he
had left town. His clothes and personal items were gone and it looked as if
no one had been staying in the house. He advised us not to let out guard
down. Mr. Hunter could be any where.
     I called the house and no one was home. I tried calling Judy on her
cell phone and she answered.
     "Judy, let me talk with Tom, please."
     "Tom, the Chief just called and told me your dad apparently skipped
town. Would you have any idea where he might have gone? You don't ,
Ok. Would you ask you Mother when you see her? Do you know if your dad has
any credit cards? Good would you check with your mother and get the numbers
for them since she has the same ones only in her name. The numbers would be
the same if not the Chief can use hers to get your Dad's number. Thanks,
Tom. Keep your eyes open because your dad could be any where. Give me a
call back when you find out anything. Use Judy's phone she has me programed
into it. Yea, I will. Later, Tom. Bye."
     I brought Doris up to date on what was happening and then we started
going over what had happened since I had been gone. She had a list of
people that I had to call back. I told her that Tom would be calling and if
I was on the phone, to take a message and to give it to me between calls
and I could call him back.
     I had just finished my first call, and Tom was on the line. "Tom, my
that was quick. Just a moment and I will put you on speaker phone, I can't
hold the phone and write at the same time. I am so glad she had her purse
with her. I remember now you said it was the last thing you grabbed when
you took your mother outside. Ok, go ahead. Thanks Tom. I will let the
Chief know. You mother is getting out of the hospital. Man that is great!"
     "Have Sarah and Judy put her in Aunt Mary's room and move Aunt Mary to
the other downstairs bedroom. I still have a couple of hours of work and
then I will come home. Later."
     I immediately called the Chief and gave him the numbers. He told me
that if Mr. Hunter had used them, they could trace his movements. I crossed
my fingers!
     I completed my calling and did a little more work and then I left and
put Doris in charge of running the office, again. I don't know what I would
do without her. For one thing, It would take me a year to find
everything. I don't even want to think about it.
     I walked into a bee hive at the house. Sarah and Judy were packing
their things and getting ready to leave. "Hey, what is happening?"
     "Sarah's sister has to go into a nursing home unless someone can move
in with her. Sarah is the only relative left. So, Sarah and I are leaving
for Ohio. We have been waiting for you to come home. John, we are sorry to
leave in such a short notice and you with house guests that requires
attention. You have been so good to us. We really feel terrible" cried
Judy.
     "Hey, you two! Dry those tears and come here and let me give you a big
hug. I want you to leave with my blessing and prayers. If and when the time
arises, your job will always be here for you. Now what can I do to help you
get ready?"
     "We are already to leave. We have made reservations for departure time
of 6:00. We will need a ride to the train depot." said Sarah between sobs.
     "Not a problem! I need an address and I will ship all your things to
you. Right now I would just suggest one suitcase each. You don't need to be
burden down with a lot of luggage. Will there be someone to meet you?"
     "Yes, we have already called a friend and he will be there at the
depot. My sister has a car which we will use after we get settled." said
Sarah.
     " We have lots of time. Why don't we all pile into the SUV and go to
our favorite Chinese buffet for lunch. I know you haven't eaten yet and I
have a big hole to fill. I will get the rest of the family and we can head
out. I need to stop by the bank on the way back out here, so I can give you
your salary or would you just rather have checks. Did you think to rent a
wheelchair for Nancy?"
     "We sure did. You will have to put it in the luggage rack on top of
the car. It folds up into a small neat little package. John, checks would
be just fine. I wouldn't want to travel with that much cash." Sarah
replied.
     I had Judy drive. I had a couple of calls I needed to make and I am
not one to drive and talk on the cell phone. I climbed into the jump seat
in back so I would not disturb everyone while I called.
     "Hi, Doris. Have you eaten yet? Good, why don't you lock the office up
and meet us at the China Sun. I need your nephew's number. But that is your
number. Oh, he did. I didn't know that he moved in with you. When did this
all happen? I just need to talk to him. No, It has nothing to do with
you. I will tell you at lunch. Thanks, Doris. See you in a few
minutes. Bye."
     "Hello, Larry! This is John Sloan. Are you busy right now. I would
like to buy you lunch at the China Sun and talk to you about a business
deal. We are about 10 minutes away. So just as soon as you can get
there. Be sure to bring that lovely wife of yours and those cute little
boys. This deal involves her, also. Good see you there!"
     I had just gotten the wheelchair down and Nancy was just getting into
it when Doris arrived. After all the introductions, we went inside and the
hostess pushed three tables together and we were all seated. I saved a
place for Larry and Sue directly across from me.
     We were all seated and just visiting when they arrive and after the
introductions, we all got up and went to the tables lined with food. Aunt
Mary took Nancy and was filling her plate. The hostess came over and said
she would be pleased to take over for Aunt Mary. She readily accepted. I
was doing the same thing for Tom, and hostess called a waiter over to fill
Tom's plate. Aunt Mary and I were very pleased. Now we could over-load our
plates and not worry about dropping one.
     The waiter said he would assist Tom and leave me to my own eating. Tom
quickly accepted his offer. I placed my hand on Tom's leg under the table
and I leaned over and spoke so only Tom could hear me, "Play your cards
right and I bet you can even get him in bed with you. He is really cute!"
     Tom turned all shades of red. "There you two go again. I bet you are
talking about something nasty." laughed Aunt Mary.
     "Now, Aunt Mary, would we do something like that. On second thought
maybe you had better not answer. " I quickly replied. Poor Tom was fit to
be tied. The waiter, heard what I had said and placed his hand on the other
leg. Our hands finally meet in the middle. Poor Tom was just about ready to
come unglued. The waiter and I looked at each other and winked. We went on
like nothing was happening. Tom was just about to choke on his food.
     When we had finished eating. I ordered a cup of coffee and everyone
else did like wise. "Larry and Sue, I invited you here for a special
reason. Sarah and Judy will be leaving and moving to Ohio to care for a
sick relative today. So their positions are available now. I know that you
have a chef's degree and that you are unemployed. I would like to offer the
job of cook and maid to the two of you. I have a three bedroom guest
cottage that you can use. That way you can bring your two little ones with
you and not worry about finding day care. If you would like a couple of
days to think this over, you may have all the time you want . If you decide
to accept, we will work out all the details later."
     Before they respond, Doris spoke up. "John is a real slave driver. You
do all the work and he takes all the rewards and spends all his time
running all over the country playing. Just kidding, John! I would never
trade you for another boss. You are the best."  "Thanks, Doris. You are
very special yourself." John said with pride.
     Larry and Sue had been talking quietly to themselves. "John, we would
like to accept your offer. When do we start?" Sue asked.
     "You went on the payroll about an hour ago, when I talked with Larry
on the phone. You can come out, this evening about 7 and we can go over all
the details. Doris knows the way to the house and can chauffeur you. Nancy,
Tom, and Aunt Mary are living with me. I hope this won't alter your
decision?"
     Larry and Sue came out and brought their two little boys with them and
they spent the evening sitting on Aunt Mary's lap. I am sure that this
arrangement will work out to every one's benefit.
     Larry and Sue were getting ready to leave but the boys wanted to stay
with Aunt Mary, who was beaming with glee. She told them that she had a big
queen size bed and the boys could sleep with her.
     "Can we Mom? Can we? Please!" Shouted both boys at once.
     Larry and Sue thought this would be a good idea. They could spend the
morning getting ready to move out and would not have to worry about the
boys under-foot.
     "Doris, I will be in around noon. I can help Larry and Sue get settled
and then I will come into the office and spend the afternoon. That is if
you have anything for me to do!" Laughed John.
     "Oh, I think there are some new games on the internet that you can
play. At lease, you won't be getting in my way!" Retorted Doris laughing.
     Sue and Doris helped get Nancy ready for bed. Then everyone decided to
call it a evening. Aunt Mary and the boys headed for the bedroom. We helped
Nancy into to bed and reminded her that she had an intercom in her room and
all she had to do was call out and either Tom or I would hear her.
     "Aunt Mary, there is no intercom in your room. So I guess you will
just be on your own. If you really need us, just send the boys into Nancy's
room and have them give us a yell."
     "Why don't you two worry warts just go to bed. I was taking care of
little boys long before either one of you were born. Tom, you must remember
I brought you and your mother home from the hospital. Good-night now. We'll
see you in the morning." declared Aunt Mary.
