Chapter 6

“Okay, so our first plan is to get everyone down here and make sure Bailey’s not with someone.” Estebe took a notebook from the kitchen desk by the pantry. He moved it and a pen over to Cliff. “Draw us a floorplan of the house, level by level. And start with the bedrooms. We need to get the rest of the group down here sooner rather than later.”

“She wouldn’t do that to me. Not again.” Cliff shoved back the notebook, glaring at Estebe.

“Dude, I think he meant talking to someone, not, well, you know.” Matt took the pen and notebook and drew a box. “Let me help. I did some construction work during summers between college terms. I know how to work with plans.”

Cliff took a deep breath. “Sorry, guys, I’m a little messed up right now. First Dane, now Bailey? What if something bad happened to her?”

“Let’s just focus on finding her.” Felicia set a cup of coffee in front of Cliff. Then she studied Matt’s drawing. “So where are we in that box?”

“I think right here.” He wrote back and front on the page. And then made a couple of lines in the middle of the line next to back. He pointed to one side of the kitchen. “So how many rooms are that way?”

“The breakfast nook, the solarium, then it drops down into another building where the pool and dressing rooms are located. You get there by going through the solarium.” He watched as Matt added the rooms and adjusted the drawing a little to make room for the pool building. Then he pointed toward the front. “Dining room, formal living room, theater room in front of the solarium, then the housekeeper’s quarters in the building in front of the pool area. It helps keep that private by blocking the pool from the road. On this other side are a couple of bathrooms, a recreation room, my den, and a music room.”

“What’s upstairs?” Angie couldn’t believe how big the house was. Especially just the first floor.

“Bedrooms. And a laundry room. Same with the third floor. That’s where my master is, and I put the others from the band up there so they wouldn’t bother you.” He didn’t meet Angie’s gaze when he said it, so she wondered if it had more to do with the fact that it would keep the help away from the band.

“How many bedrooms on each floor?” Matt asked.

“Four. No five. And a library on the third floor and a television room on the second.”

Matt stared at him.

“No, that’s all.” He shifted in his chair when Matt didn’t continue drawing.

Finally, Matt shook his head and muttered something about being different. Then he focused on the drawing and turned it over to Cliff.

Cliff studied it, then took up the pen. “It’s great, but the library is here, overlooking the pool. It has a balcony. And the television room on level two is in the same place.”

Angie picked up the notebook. “Okay then, this will be easy.
