You decide to have a party. Tell everyone and let them know that they can invite anyone. But when you start calling people, they aren't home. You try a couple more numbers, wondering if it is a fluke.

Things aren't adding up . . .

Then you call Troy and his parents let you know that everyone went to some kind of meeting and gathering, that you can call them all on the cell phone. He gives you the number and then you hang up.

You start to think and think. You look down the hall, take a step out and look around again. At the proper angle you can see into a beverage bar. It must be the old man's party room, you thought.
